IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN WE ARE UNWILLING TO MAKE THE GAME AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE GAME.



1. The Game

  1. The Game must be used through a supported mobile device or web browser on either a desktop or mobile device. Third party tools and services may be required in order to engage in transactions using cryptocurrencies.
  2. Transactions that take place on the Game are managed and confirmed via the Algorand blockchain. You understand that your Algorand public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the Game.
  3. We neither own nor control the Algorand network, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the Game. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.
  4. You must provide accurate and complete registration information when you create an account for the Game. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself, and to maintain and promptly update as necessary your account information. You are responsible for the security of your account and your cryptocurrency wallet (and other Algorand wallets and accounts). If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account with us, you agree to notify us immediately at support@cosmicchamps.com.

2. Registration

  1. You will be required to register before being permitted to use the Game. You agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim or change a username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

3. Fees and Payment

  1. If you elect to purchase, trade, or use Tokens or NFTs on the Game, or with or from other users via the Game, any financial transactions you engage in will be conducted solely through the Algorand network. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. You agree we have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the Game or any other transactions that you conduct via the Algorand or other blockchain networks.
  2. Algorand requires Tokens for every transaction that occurs on the Algorand network. This means that you will need to ensure that you maintain a sufficient Token balance in your account in order to transact via the Game.
  3. As between us, you will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, “Taxes”) associated with your use of the Game (including, without limitation, any Taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership, transfer, or acquisition of your Cosmic Champs Tokens or NFTs). Except for income taxes levied on Cosmic Champs, you: (i) will pay or reimburse us for all national, federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value added taxes and taxes as required by international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and (ii) shall not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to us pursuant to these Terms.
  4. Algorand requires the payment of a transaction fee for every transaction that occurs on the Algorand network. This means that you will need to pay a transaction fee for each transaction that occurs via the Game.
  5. In addition to the transaction fee, each time you utilize a Smart Contract to conduct a transaction with another user via the Game, you authorize us to collect a commission of up to 2% of the total value of that transaction (each, a “Commission”). You acknowledge and agree that the Commission will be transferred directly to us through the network as a part of the transaction.

4. Purchasing Tokens

  1. All payments by you via any payment method is done so at your own risk. Cosmic Champs expressly denies any liability regarding the purchase of Tokens offered through the Cosmic Champs Store.
  2.

  3. All payments are debited to Cosmic Champs. Due to the way transactions are processed by our fiat currency payment processors as well as cryptocurrency payments via the blockchain, there may be delays in receiving your purchased Tokens.
  4. Each transaction shall be subject to these Terms of Use in place at the time of the transaction for use in the Cosmic Champs game. Tokens are only available for players seeking to purchase Cosmic Champs’s NFTs, characters, and/or items from the Cosmic Champs Shop; staking on a third-party platform such as Cometa; providing liquidity on a third-party platform such as TinyMan; or participating in governance of Cosmic Champs. Any use outside of these transactions is expressly prohibited and will result in Cosmic Champs prohibiting your account from being able to purchase Tokens.

9. Assumption of Risk

You accept and acknowledge each of the following:

  1. The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Cosmic Champs Tokens or other items, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of Cosmic Champs Tokens or other items will not lose money.
  2. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Cosmic Champs-related transactions. Cosmic Champs is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the Game, or any blockchain.
  3. The Game does not store, send, or receive Cosmic Champs Tokens. This is because Cosmic Champs Tokens and items exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Game’s supporting blockchain in the Algorand network. Any transfer of Cosmic Champs Tokens occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Algorand network, and not on the Game.
  4. There are risks associated with using a digital currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, hacking, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that Cosmic Champs will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions, hacking or delays you may experience when using the Algorand network, however caused.
  5. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Cosmic Champs ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Cosmic Champs Tokens or other items.
  6. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and Tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Cosmic Champs ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Tokens and other items.
  7. Upgrades by Algorand to the Algorand platform or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Algorand platform may have unintended, adverse effects on all applications using the Algorand platform, including the Cosmic Champs ecosystem.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Cosmic Champs and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, advertisers, licensors, suppliers or partners from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage (actual and consequential) of any kind or nature, suit, judgment, litigation cost, and attorneys’ fees arising out of or in any way related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your misuse of the Game; (iii) your violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with your access to or use of the Game; or (iv) your breach of our Privacy Policy. You agree that Cosmic Champs will have control of the defence or settlement of any such claims.

11. External Sites

The Game may include hyperlinks to other web sites or resources (collectively, “External Sites”), which are provided solely as a convenience to our users. We have no control over any External Sites. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of any External Sites, and that we do not endorse any advertising, products or other materials on or made available from any External Sites. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred as a result of the availability or unavailability of the External Sites, or as a result of any reliance placed by you upon the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, products or other materials on, or made available from, any External Sites.

12. Advertisers

We may allow advertisers to display their advertisements and other information in certain areas of the Game such as sidebar advertisements or banner advertisements. If you are an advertiser, you should take full responsibility for any advertisements you place on the Game, and any services provided on the Game, or products sold through those advertisements. Further, as an advertiser, you warrant and represent that you possess all rights and authority to place advertisements on the Game, including, but not limited to, intellectual property rights, publicity rights, and contractual rights. We simply provide the space to place such advertisements, and we have no other relationship with advertisers.

13. Changes to the terms of use of the Game

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. When we make changes, we will make the updated Terms available on the Game and update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms accordingly, which apply to all access to and use of the Game and Website thereafter. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Any changes to the Terms will apply on the date that they are made, and your continued access to or use of the Game after the Terms have been updated will constitute your binding acceptance of the updates. If you do not agree to any revised Terms, you may not access or use the Game.

14. Children

You affirm that you are over the age of 13, as the Game is not intended for children under 13. IF YOU ARE 13 OR OLDER BUT UNDER THE AGE OF 18, OR THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY WHERE YOU RESIDE IF THAT JURISDICTION HAS AN OLDER AGE OF MAJORITY, THEN YOU AGREE TO REVIEW THESE TERMS WITH YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO MAKE SURE THAT BOTH YOU AND YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS. YOU AGREE TO HAVE YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN REVIEW AND ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON YOUR BEHALF. IF YOU ARE A PARENT OR GUARDIAN AGREEING TO THE TERMS FOR THE BENEFIT OF A CHILD OVER 13, THEN YOU AGREE TO AND ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT CHILD’S USE OF THE GAME, INCLUDING ALL FINANCIAL CHARGES AND LEGAL LIABILITY THAT HE OR SHE MAY INCUR.

15. Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy describes the ways we collect, use, store and disclose your personal information, and is hereby incorporated by this reference into these Terms. You agree to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

16. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND US, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT COSMIC CHAMPS AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JUDGE AND/OR JURY. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

The laws of the British Virgin Islands govern these Terms of Use.

Except for those disputes that shall be resolved in arbitration pursuant to this section, each party agrees to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the British Virgin Islands provided that any claims or disputes shall be subject to the arbitration provisions set forth below.

Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought, in an individual capacity only, and not on a class-wide or representative basis, in the courts specified above), any dispute between you and Cosmic Champs related in any way to, or arising in any way from, our Privacy Policy or these Terms of Use (“Dispute”) shall be finally settled on an individual, non-representative basis in binding arbitration in accordance with the most recent British Virgin Islands International Arbitration Centre (“BVI IAC”) rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes (available from BVI IAC on its website www.bviiac.org), as modified by this Agreement or in accordance with rules on which we may mutually agree.

Any arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and shall take place in the British Virgin Islands. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including attorneys’ fees when authorized by law. The arbitral decision may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by BVI IAC or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms of Use and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms of Use, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Use will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

17. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

18. Content Standards

These content standards apply to any and all contributions and use by you to the Game. Your use and contributions must in their entirety comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, You must not:

  1. Provide any material that is defamatory, obscene, indecent, abusive, offensive, harassing, violent, hateful, inflammatory, or otherwise objectionable.

There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. The parties are independent contractors, and nothing in these Terms create any agency, partnership, or joint venture. The language in these Terms will be interpreted as to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party. You may not assign any or your rights or obligations under these Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms in our sole discretion to an affiliate, or in connection with an acquisition, sale or merger. Should any part of these Terms be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. We will not be liable for any failure or delayed performance of our obligations that result from any condition beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, governmental action, acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood, acts of God, labour conditions, power failures, Internet disturbances, or acts or omissions of third parties. You agree that we may provide you with notices (including, without limitation those regarding changes to these Terms) by email, regular mail, or postings on the Game. By providing us with your email address, you consent to our using the email address to send you any notices required by law in lieu of communication by postal mail. “Smart Contracts” means the computer code executed in response to transactions published on the Algorand blockchain that generates a consistent and verifiable result. “Tokens” means fungible and non-fungible cryptographic tokens launched by Cosmic Champs or Mad Shapes for use inside or outside the Game such as Cosmic Gold, NFTs, and any other token.
