1. Introduction
Welcome to GENSOKISHI Marketplace, owned and operated by Metap Inc. (“GENSOKISHI Marketplace”, “GENSOKISHI”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). These Terms of GENSOKISHI Marketplace (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the GENSOKISHI Marketplace website(s), our APIs, mobile app (the “App”), and any other software, tools, features, or functionalities provided on or in connection with our services; including without limitation using our services to view, explore, and create NFTs and use our tools, at your own discretion, to connect directly with others to purchase, sell, or transfer NFTs on public blockchains (collectively, the “Service”). NFT means a non-fungible token or similar digital item implemented on a blockchain (such as the Ethereum blockchain or Polygon Network), which uses smart contracts to link to or otherwise be associated with certain content or data. In these Terms, NFT/NFTs are referred to non-fungible GENSOKISHI token (“GENSOKISHI NFT”)/non-fungible GENSOKISHI tokens (“GENSOKISHI NFTs”).
For purposes of these Terms, “user”, “you”, and “your” means you as the user of the Service. If you use the Service 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.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 17 BELOW, THEY INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT AND/OR USING OUR SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL OF THE TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.
GENSOKISHI is NOT a wallet provider, exchange, broker, financial institution, or creditor. GENSOKISHI provides a peer-to-peer web3 service that helps users discover and directly interact with each other and GENSOKISHI NFTs available on public blockchains. We do not have custody or control over GENSOKISHI NFTs or blockchains you are interacting with and we do not execute or effectuate purchases, transfers, or sales of GENSOKISHI NFTs. To use our Service, you must use a third-party wallet (e.g., MetaMask Wallet) which allows you to engage in transactions on blockchains.
GENSOKISHI is not a party to any agreement between any users. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of GENSOKISHI NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers using the Service and we make no claims about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or GENSOKISHI NFTs (and any content associated with such GENSOKISHI NFTs) visible on the Service.
Because we have a growing number of services, we sometimes need to provide additional terms for specific services (and such services are deemed part of the “Service” hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms). Those additional terms and conditions, which are available with the relevant service, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any additional applicable terms we may provide for a specific service, such additional terms shall control for that specific service.
GENSOKISHI reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such changes, such as by providing notice through the Service or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference effective as of the date these Terms are updated. It is your sole responsibility to review the Terms from time to time to view such changes and to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT GENSOKISHI NFTS HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT IN ANY OTHER COUNTRIES. BESIDES, THE SELLING OF GENSOKISHI NFTS IS NOT CONSIDERED A METHOD FOR FUND RAISING, THOSE WHO OWN GENSOKISHI NFTS DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT TOWARD METAP INC. FOR EXAMPLE, THE RIGHT TO CLAIM AN EQUITY OWNERSHIP TO METAP INC, OR THE RIGHT TO CLAIM THE FUTURE CASH-FLOW OF METAP INC. IF GENSOKISHI NFTS ARE DEEMED TO BE, OR BE INTEGRAL TO, A TRANSACTION, CONTRACT OR SCHEME CONSTITUTING A SECURITY, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OTHERWISE APPLY TO THE GENSOKISHI NFTS, THEN THE OFFERS AND SALES OF SUCH SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER ANY COUNTRY'S SECURITIES LAWS AND, THEREFORE, CANNOT BE RESOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE COUNTRY'S LAWS. YOU UNDERSTANDS THAT GENSOKISHI NFTS MAY BE, A “RESTRICTED SECURITY” UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS AND THAT, PURSUANT TO THESE LAWS, YOU MUST HOLD THESE GENSOKISHI NFTS INDEFINITELY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE COMPANY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO REGISTER OR QUALIFY FOR RESALE THESE GENSOKISHI NFTS. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IF AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS AVAILABLE, IT MAY BE CONDITIONED ON VARIOUS REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE TIME AND MANNER OF SALE, THE HOLDING PERIOD, AND ETC. WHICH ARE OUTSIDE OF THE YOUR AND OUR CONTROL.
2. Accessing the Service
Like many of web3, your blockchain wallet address functions as your identity on GENSOKISHI. Accordingly, you will need a blockchain address and a third-party wallet (e.g., MetaMask Wallet) to access the Service. Your account on the service (“Account”) will be associated with your blockchain wallet address; however, if you want to add some flair to your GENSOKISHI persona, you can add additional information, such as a profile picture, to your Account.
Your Account on GENSOKISHI will be associated with your linked blockchain address and display the GENSOKISHI NFTs for that blockchain address (and, if applicable, any content associated with such GENSOKISHI NFTs). By using your wallet in connection with the Service, you agree that you are using that wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the wallet. Wallets are not operated by, maintained by, or affiliated with GENSOKISHI, and GENSOKISHI does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and has no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. GENSOKISHI accepts no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Service will operate with any specific wallet. You are solely responsible for keeping your wallet secure and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. If you discover an issue related to your wallet, please contact your wallet provider. Likewise, you are solely responsible for your Account and any associated wallet, and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or as a result of your Account or wallet being compromised. You agree to immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security issues related to the Service or your Account (you can contact us via the Email address we provide on the GENSOKISHI website).

GENSOKISHI may require you to provide additional information and documents in certain circumstances, such as at the request of any government authority, as any applicable law or regulation dictates, or to investigate a potential violation of these Terms. In such cases, GENSOKISHI, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account and block your ability to access the Service until such additional information and documents are processed by GENSOKISHI. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, GENSOKISHI may refuse to restore your access to the Service.
Your access and use of the Service may be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including, without limitation, the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance, or repair of the Service or other actions that GENSOKISHI, in its sole discretion, may elect to take.

13. Assumption of Risk
You accept and acknowledge:
・The value of a GENSOKISHI NFT is subjective. Prices of GENSOKISHI NFTs are subject to volatility and fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrency can also materially and adversely affect GENSOKISHI NFT prices. You acknowledge that you fully understand this subjectivity and volatility and that you may lose money.
・A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility of GENSOKISHI NFTs.
・The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrency, and other crypto-based items is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Service and the utility of GENSOKISHI NFTs.
・You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions. GENSOKISHI is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your GENSOKISHI NFTs.
・There are risks associated with purchasing items associated with content created by third parties through peer-to-peer transactions, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit items, mislabeled items, items that are vulnerable to metadata decay, items on smart contracts with bugs, and items that may become untransferable. You represent and warrant that you have done sufficient research before making any decisions to sell, obtain, transfer, or otherwise interact with any GENSOKISHI NFTs, Accounts, or collections.
・We do not control the public blockchains that you are interacting with, and we do not control certain smart contracts and protocols that may be integral to your ability to complete transactions on these public blockchains. Additionally, blockchain transactions are irreversible and GENSOKISHI has no ability to reverse any transactions on the blockchain.
・There are risks associated with using Internet and blockchain based products and/or service, including, but not limited to, the risk associated with hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to your third-party wallet or Account. You accept and acknowledge that GENSOKISHI will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Service or any Blockchain network, however caused.
・The Service relies on third-party platforms and/or vendors. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers and/or vendors; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers and/or vendors change; if we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms and/or vendors; or if any of such platforms and/or vendors loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of the Service will suffer. In this case, you acknowledge and agree that you will assume all the risks and losses, and we have no responsibilities with you and will be not liable for you.
・GENSOKISHI reserves the right to hide any GENSOKISHI NFTs and any collections, contracts, items, Art and other Material associated with GENSOKISHI NFTs which are affected by any of these issues or by other issues. GENSOKISHI NFTs you purchase may become inaccessible on GENSOKISHI. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view GENSOKISHI NFTs on GENSOKISHI Marketplace or an inability to use the Service in conjunction with the purchase, sale, or transfer of GENSOKISHI NFTs available on any blockchains serve as grounds for a claim against GENSOKISHI.
・If you have a dispute with one or more users, YOU RELEASE US FROM CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES. IN ENTERING INTO THIS RELEASE YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY PROTECTIONS (WHETHER STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) THAT WOULD OTHERWISE LIMIT THE COVERAGE OF THIS RELEASE TO INCLUDE THOSE CLAIMS WHICH YOU MAY KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN YOUR FAVOR AT THE TIME OF AGREEING TO THIS RELEASE.

17.1 Informal negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a “Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party" and collectively, the “Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating the arbitration. Such Informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
17.2
If a Party is unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Disputes (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. All Disputes arising out of or in connection with this Term shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC). The place of the arbitration shall be Singapore.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the courts located in Singapore, and the Parties hereby consent to and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non-conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site, the App and the Smart Contracts be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of the action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed or jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

20. Severability
If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause, or provision of these Terms.
21. Injunctive Relief
