MINTOPOLY CARDS AND TOKENS

Mintopoly Cards are Ethereum-based tokens created under the ERC1155 standard. The cards are semi-fungible tokens (referred to here as "Cards"). Mintopoly also includes a fungible ERC20 crypto (referred to here as the "Token").

When you purchase a Card or Token, you own that asset. You have the rights to hold, sell, or trade it. All transactions are controlled by the underlying smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain.

Should you choose to purchase, trade, or acquire a Card or Token directly from Mintopoly or any third party, we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of these transactions. Additionally, Ethereum-based transactions require a "gas fee" to facilitate transactions, and these fees will be your responsibility. DUE TO THE NATURE OF BLOCKCHAIN-BASED ASSETS, ALL SALES, PURCHASES, OR TRANSFERS ARE FINAL AND NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED.

The Cards may provide unique value, boosts, or functions within the App itself. The unique properties of the card is determined by its underlying metadata. This metadata is controlled by Mintopoly and we aim to never modify this metadata once established. However, we reserve the right to modify card metadata in the event of errors or omissions.

Ownership of a specific Card does not provide ownership to the underlying intellectual property contained within the card; including, but not limited to artwork, designs, names, and logos. However, Ownership of a mintopoly card grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license to copy and display the artwork under the following conditions: i) for personal, non-commercial use, ii) as part of a marketplace listing for the purchase or sale of the Card. All other uses of the underlying intellectual property of the Card are expressly prohibited without prior written permission.

Ownership of a Card does not provide any ownership, benefits, or control of the App, its intellectual property, or any other content or property beyond the Card itself.

In addition, the App may provide promotional gameplay cards that are not tokenized NFT cards. These non-NFT gameplay items will be distinguished by having Card ID numbers greater than 1000. Should you be provided with a promotional card, you acknowledge that it is: non-transferable, has no cash value, and may be removed from your account at any time for any reason.
