Disclaimers
Cronos Cruiser NFTs are meant to be a fun NFT for you to collect. They are not meant as investment vehicles. We make absolutely no promise or guarantee that these NFTs will be worth anything more than what you and the market deem the art to be worth. This could very well be zero. We will try to build a community and bring as much intangible value and vibes to the project as we can! Digital assets are highly volatile, subject to significant risk, may not be suitable for you and may not be regulated in your jurisdiction. You understand that they have no inherent monetary value, and they should be treated as nothing more than a collectible with potential future value or lack thereof.
When you purchase your Cronos Cruiser NFT(s), you agree that your purchase of the NFT is all you are guaranteed to receive in exchange for your funds. Whether through primary or secondary channels, the token and underlying image is what you receive. Any future benefits are ancillary to this purchase and not to be taken into consideration with your initial purchase.
You understand and agree that purchase, transfer or withdrawal of an NFT to a decentralised digital asset wallet is at your own risk, and the transfer for any NFT to an incorrect digital asset wallet address will result in the irreversible loss of such NFT; and that NFTs are subject to the risk of fraud, counterfeiting, cyber attacks and other technological difficulties which may prevent access to or use of your NFTs. You are entirely responsible for the security and accessibility of your Cronos Cruiser NFT(s).
The value of digital assets can go down as well as up and returns may be subject to capital gains taxes in your jurisdiction. You are entirely responsible for any tax liability which may arise from minting, using or reselling your Cronos Cruiser NFT(s). Digital assets purchased using a credit card are not permitted by all issuers and may be subject to higher interest rates and fees.
Feedback
You can submit comments, bug reports, ideas about the site or the project. By submitting any feedback, you agree that we are free to use them in any way we choose without additional compensation to you and you hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive worldwide licence to incorporate and use the feedback for any purpose.
Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed and enforced under the laws of Hong Kong without regard to any choice or conflict of laws rules. If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, and if said dispute cannot be settled through negotiation it shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The law of this arbitration clause shall be Hong Kong law. The seat of arbitration shall be in Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be one, and judgement upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
