Terms And Conditions

Welcome to the Terms of Service (these “Terms”) for the website www.ageofsentinels.com (the “Website”), the Age of Sentinels Game (the “Game”), and all other applications, content, smart contracts, tools, features, and functionality offered on or through our Website and the Game (collectively with the Website and the Game, the “Services”), in each case operated by or on behalf of Age of Sentinels. (“Company,” “we,” or “us”).

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Services. Please read these Terms carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights. By accessing and/or using the Services, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not understand or agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services.

For purposes of these Terms, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of a company or other entity then “you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.

Section 9 contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree (a) to resolve all disputes with us related to the Services through binding individual arbitration (unless expressly provided otherwise in Section 9), which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and (b) to waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions in connection with your use of the Services.

1. Description of the Services. The Services offer a unique metaverse gaming experience via the Game and other related experiences through the combination of traditional core game and blockchain mechanics via the Solana blockchain (the “Age of Sentinels Metaverse”). You acknowledge and agree that we cannot be held liable or responsible in any way for any damages or losses incurred by any person in connection with any acts or omissions of the Age of Sentinels.
2. DACs. The Age of Sentinels Metaverse utilizes a guild system that allows you to create factions and collectives that operate in a decentralized, autonomous way (“Decentralized Autonomous Corporations”). The Services may provide you and other players with certain tools that enable the implementation and management of such Decentralized Autonomous Corporations. We reserve the right to revoke access from any Decentralized Autonomous Corporation, or member player thereof, to such tools in the event that such Decentralized Autonomous Corporation or player violates these Terms or for any other reason we determine in our good faith business judgment.
3. Game Items. The Services provide a marketplace (the “Marketplace”) for you to purchase, transfer, and trade Game-related items such as ships, stations, resources, posters, and other items (“Game Items”). Game Items can be used in the Services in various ways that we make available, such as to represent in-Game assets that you can use while you play the Game. We make no promises or guarantees regarding the functionality, utility, or value of any Game Items, and such Game Items may evolve and change as we update and modify the Game and the Age of Sentinels Metaverse.
4. Game NFTs. Your purchase of Game Items may be accompanied by non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), and your ownership of these NFTs are tracked via the Solana blockchain (“Game NFTs”). Your ownership of these Game NFTs will give you certain rights and privileges within the Services, for as long as we make the Services and such rights and privileges available to you. You are responsible for all payments, fees, and costs when engaging in any transactions involving Game NFTs, including, without limitation, the purchase price, transaction fees, fees associated with your secondary or subsequent sales of Game NFTs, and all other fees associated with your use of the Game NFTs via the Services.
5. Marketplace. We provide the Marketplace to be able to sell Game Items and other Services-related offerings (collectively, “Offerings”) to you directly from us. The Marketplace will also facilitate peer-to-peer sales conducted via decentralized or third-party exchanges or protocols whereby buyers and sellers can buy, sell, and trade Game NFTs with each other. We may charge a transaction fee on all peer-to-peer sales that occur via the Marketplace or that otherwise involve Game NFTs (which may be calculated as a percentage of the overall sale price of the Game Items). We may offer ways to receive a discount on such transaction fees, such as by holding or staking certain Services-related tokens and assets. The scope of, and pre-requisitions for receiving any, such discount offers are subject to change by us in our sole discretion at any time. To facilitate transactions via the Marketplace, we have integrated with one or more third-party exchanges and services, such as the Serum exchange protocol, or other decentralized smart contract protocols. These protocols facilitate the exchange of cryptocurrency and other assets through the Solana blockchain. We do not own or control these third-party or decentralized services, including Serum or the Solana blockchain, we do not control the transfer of cryptocurrency using these third-party services or decentralized protocols, and we do not have the ability to cancel or reverse certain transactions via the Marketplace. Except as may otherwise be provided in these Terms, we do not control or endorse purchases or sales of Game NFTs or other Offerings outside of the Services, including the Marketplace. With respect to Game NFTs that are not sold directly by us, we are not a party to any agreement entered into between an end user buyer and a seller on the Marketplace. Other than with respect to items sold directly by us, we have no control over the conduct of buyers, sellers, and any other users of the Marketplace. We accept no liability for any aspect of the buyer and seller peer-to-peer interaction on the Marketplace.
6. Wallet. To use certain of the Services, you need to link to the Services via a non-custodial digital wallet made available by a third party and that is compatible with the Solana network and the Services (a “Digital Wallet”). A list of supported wallets will be displayed by us, such as on the Services website. Linking a Digital Wallet to the Services is required to be able to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using the Services, and to connect your Game NFTs and tokens with the Services. Assets stored in your Digital Wallet are owned and controlled solely by you. Digital Wallets are not associated with, maintained by, controlled by, or affiliated with us. We may not be able to help you recover assets stored in your Digital Wallet, as these are non-custodial wallets in your control. We accept no responsibility or liability to you in connection with your use of a Digital Wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how the Services will operate with any specific Digital Wallet. The private keys, credentials, passwords, seed phrases, or secret recovery passphrases necessary to decrypt or gain access to a Digital Wallet are held solely by you, and not by us. If you choose to transfer items from one Digital Wallet to another, such transfers will occur on the public blockchain and we accept no liability or responsibility for any such transfer, including for any loss, data corruption, or other negative impact that may occur to your Offerings or Digital Wallets or other assets when attempting to transfer assets between Digital Wallets. We reserve the right, with or without prior notice and in our sole and complete discretion, to discontinue, modify, or limit the operation of any Digital Wallet with the Services. You represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of any Digital Wallet and that you are using that Digital Wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the Digital Wallet. If you have any issues with your Digital Wallet, please contact your Digital Wallet provider.
7. Promotional Codes. We may offer certain promotional codes, referral codes, discount codes, coupon codes, or similar offers (“Promotional Codes”) that may be redeemed for discounts on future Offerings, or other features or benefits related to the Services, subject to any additional terms that the Company establishes. You agree that Promotional Codes: (a) must be used in a lawful manner; (b) must be used for the intended audience and purpose; (c) may not be duplicated, sold, or transferred in any manner, or made available by you to the general public (whether posted to a public forum, coupon collecting service, or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by the Company; (d) may be disabled or have additional conditions applied to them by the Company at any time for any reason without liability to the Company; (e) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that the Company establishes for such Promotional Code; (f) are not valid for cash or other credits or points; and (g) may expire prior to your use.
8. Changes and Pricing. We may, at any time, revise or change the pricing, availability, specifications, content, descriptions, or features of any Offerings sold by us, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur (and to cancel any orders in our sole discretion that were purchased with pricing errors). All such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting of such new Offerings prices to the Services. While we attempt to be as accurate as we can in our descriptions for the Offerings, we do not warrant that Offerings descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. The inclusion of any Offerings for purchase through the Services at a particular time does not imply or warrant that the Offerings will be available at any other time. We reserve the right to change prices for Offerings displayed on the Services at any time.
9. Purchases Made for Consumptive Use. You acknowledge and affirm that you are acquiring Offerings, whether through the Marketplace or otherwise through the Services, for purposes of use in connection with the Services and, in the case of the Game NFTs, to play the Game or for other collectible purposes, and in each case not for any investment or speculative purposes. Any economic benefit that may be derived from appreciation in the value of an Offering or Game NFT is incidental to obtaining it for its use in connection with the Services or its collectible purpose.
10. ALL SALES FINAL. ALL PURCHASES MADE THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION (AND IN SUCH INSTANCES WHERE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO ISSUE ANY SUCH REFUND IS LIMITED TO WHETHER THE APPLICABLE SMART CONTRACT ENABLES THE COMPANY TO REASONABLY REVERSE OR CANCEL A TRANSACTION). NEVERTHELESS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT IN MOST CASES HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVERSE OR CANCEL A TRANSACTION AND IS NOT REQUIRED OR OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE A REFUND OF ANY PURCHASE FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR TIME, ITEMS, AMOUNTS, OR VALUES IN A GAME ACCOUNT (INCLUDING ANY UNUSED OR PARTIAL USED MEMBERSHIP TIME), EVEN IF AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

2. Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle the information you provide to us when you use the Services. For an explanation of our privacy practices, please visit our Privacy Policy located at https://ageofsentinels.com/privacy-policy.

To the extent that we require you to create an Account, we will provide you with instructions on how to do so, and once created, how to access, edit, and update your Account. In your creation, editing, or updating of any such Account, you agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated information. You are solely responsible for any activity on your Account and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your password. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Company hereby grants to you, a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable, and non-exclusive license to access and use the software provided to you as part of the Services (and, to the extent we offer you any software for download as part of the Services, to download, install, and execute a single copy of such software onto the equipment or device specified by us). This license has the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by us, in the manner permitted by these Terms, and subject to the use restrictions described below.

2. We understand that part of what makes our community so great is their interest in developing tools and services that are helpful for other users of our Services, such as guild directories or Game-related guides (“User Services”). This section sets out your permissions to use the Age of Sentinels name and logo (“Age of Sentinels Mark”) in connection with such User Services, to reproduce and display Age of Sentinels audiovisual assets, artwork, images for Game Items, and other Services-related content and content derived from the Services (“Content”) as part of your User Services. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, if you have developed a User Service that provides value to users of the Age of Sentinels Metaverse (as determined in our sole discretion), the Company hereby grants to you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable, and non-exclusive license to use or reproduce the Age of Sentinels Mark but solely as needed to identify that your User Service is related to the Age of Sentinels Metaverse, and a right to reproduce Content such as images of ships and planets to be able to identify Content to users of User Services, and provided that in all cases, such uses: (i) are strictly for non-commercial and not-for-profit purposes; (ii) include a prominent disclaimer that your User Service is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Company in any way and otherwise ensure that you do not use the Age of Sentinels Mark or Content in a manner that is likely to cause confusion, deception, or mistake about the source of the User Service; and (iii) comply in all respects with any quality control guidelines that we may implement from time to time in our sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may at any time and in our sole discretion revoke the license granted in the preceding sentence and require that you discontinue any use or reproduction of any of our Age of Sentinels Marks, Content, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, slogans, logos, images, or other proprietary notations, and you agree to immediately comply with such requirement.
3. When you purchase a Game NFT, you own the NFT as a token on the blockchain, but you do not own any intellectual property rights in the related Content associated with such NFT except for the license grants expressly set forth herein. If you purchase or otherwise lawfully acquire a Game NFT, then subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Company hereby grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the Content that is specifically associated with such purchased Game NFT, and solely for the following purposes: (a) for your own non-commercial and not-for-profit use within or related to the Services and not otherwise in conflict with these Terms or any other Services-related policies (e.g., not to create and sell merchandise related to such Content); (b) as part of the Marketplace and any other marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Game NFTs, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies that only the actual owner can display the Content in connection with their sale of their Game NFT; or (c) as part of a third-party website or application that permits the display, inclusion, involvement, or participation of your Game NFT, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each Game NFT’s ownership of the Game NFT to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Content, and provided that the Content is no longer visible once the owner of the Game NFT leaves the website/application. This license only lasts as long as you are the valid owner and holder of the Game NFT associated with the licensed Content. If you sell or transfer the Game NFT to another person, this license will transfer to such other owner or holder of the Game NFT, and you will no longer have the benefits of such license. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”), whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, or any other legal theory, relating in any way to your use of the Company’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration, including the resolution of threshold questions as to the arbitrability of the Claim. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT “Claim” AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, DILUTION, OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. You and the Company agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms).

You and Company further agree: (i) to arbitrate all Claims between the parties pursuant to the provisions in these Terms; (ii) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; and (iii) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. The arbitrator’s decision(s) shall be made pursuant to the Rules 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 as permitted by the governing New York law and subject to the terms and limitations in these Terms. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing agreement to arbitration:

1. Injunctive Relief. You and the Company will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator.

Small Claims. Any Claim which is eligible for resolution in the small claims court (or its equivalent) of the jurisdiction in which the party bringing the claim is domiciled may be brought in such small claims court or its equivalent on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis. If a party initiating such a Claim is domiciled outside of the United States or in a jurisdiction which does not have small claims courts or their equivalent, any claim for less than $5000 USD may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the party initiating the Claim is domiciled.

2. Confidentiality. You and Company agree that any Claim that has been submitted to arbitration, and all related proceedings, including any settlement agreement, shall be kept confidential. In the event you or the Company file the arbitration award with any court of competent jurisdiction in order to have that award confirmed in a court order or judgment, or any other proceeding under the Federal Arbitration Act, then each party shall take measures to the extent permitted by applicable law to redact or file under seal any highly sensitive business or personal information that appear in the award and any other supporting documents filed in such a proceeding.

3. Conduct of the Arbitration. Any arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules, except that, if the amount in dispute exceeds $10 million USD, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three neutral arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules. The arbitration shall have its seat in New York. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by videoconference (which you may join telephonically if you are unable to reasonably access or utilize videoconference technology), rather than by personal appearances, during ordinary business hours in the time zone in which the party initiating the arbitration resides. The arbitrator may direct that the hearing be held in person upon the request of any party if the arbitrator concludes that doing so would be appropriate under the circumstances. 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 the arbitrator. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitration shall be deemed to take place in New York, and any resulting award(s) will be rendered in New York, regardless of the location or method of any hearings.

14. Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to legal@ageofsentinels.com or by certified mail to the U.S. mailing address listed in the “How to Contact Us” section of these Terms. The notice must be sent to the Company within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms, whichever is earlier, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them.

10. Updating These Terms. We may modify these Terms from time to time in which case we will update the “Last Revised On” date at the top of these Terms. If we make changes that are material, we will use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you. However, it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to view any such changes. The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms. Your continued access or use of the Services after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms.

11. Termination of License and Your Account. If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by the Company will terminate automatically. Additionally, the Company may suspend, disable, or delete your Account and/or the Services (or any part of the foregoing) with or without notice, for any or no reason. If the Company deletes your Account for any suspected breach of these Terms by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Services under a different name or wallet address. In the event of Account deletion for any reason, the Company may, but is not obligated to, delete any of Your Content. The Company shall not be responsible for the deletion of or failure to delete Your Content. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by the Company or you. Termination will not limit any of the Company’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

12. Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.

13. California Residents. If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

14. Export Laws. You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Services and/or other information or materials provided by the Company hereunder, to any country for which the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, or (b) to anyone listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List. You warrant and represent that you’re not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any embargoed country. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You are responsible for and hereby agree to comply at your sole expense with all applicable United States export laws and regulations.

15. Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by the Company but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect. The Services are operated by us in the United States. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
