Description of the Services
Scribble is an online platform for buying and selling tokens representing certain rights to interact with programmable art and media on the Site (“Tokens”). Creative Works (as defined below) include, but are not limited to, visual artworks, audio artworks, Musical Works (as defined in the Music Supplement to Terms of Use), audiovisual artworks, or other creative works, and are of two kinds: (1) Creative Works consisting of a series of alternative versions or components of an image and/or audio file that are intended to be used as a component part of a complete, standalone Creative Work (each such image(s) and/or audio file(s), a “Layer”) and (2) complete, standalone Creative Works, which may be indivisible and non-modifiable or may consist of a combination of Layers and be modifiable through selection of which image and/or audio file of each Layer is presented within such Creative Work at a given time (each such Creative Work, a “Master”). Each Master or Layer may be represented in the form of non-fungible ERC721 digital assets (“Master Token” and “Layer Token,” respectively) that themselves may be created by reference to a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain created by Scribble (“Smart Contract”). The Site will present either the Master or Layer(s) of a Creator (collectively and individually, the “Creative Work”) and individuals can browse Creative Works and purchase Tokens associated with a Creative Work (the availability of these Services on the Site shall be referred to as the “Marketplace Services”). The Site provides a rendering service to allow you to view and/or listen to the Creative Work and allows the holders of Layer Tokens to configure the corresponding Layers within each Master that includes the corresponding Layers, thus affecting the manner in which each Master is presented (“Rendering Services”).
License. Scribble hereby grants:
to each Creator, and to each holder of a Master Token for so long as such person holds such Master Token, a limited, nonexclusive, fully paid-up, worldwide license to display and/or perform such Master (including any Layers thereof) for personal, non-commercial use on such holder’s personal electronic devices (such as TVs, computer monitors, display panels, mobile phones, laptops or desktop computers) through the Apps, in each case, subject to these Terms of Use (including the condition that such Master has not been removed from the Site and/or any other consumer applications, websites or any social media accounts owned, operated or managed by Scribble or any of Scribble’s affiliates, successors, licensees, sublicensees, and assigns [collectively, “Scribble Applications”] due to a known or reasonably suspected violation of these Terms of Use); and
to each Creator, and to each holder of a Layer Token for so long as such person holds such Layer Token, a limited, nonexclusive, fully paid-up, worldwide license to modify any Master that includes the corresponding Layer, and/or to modify the manner in which such Master is displayed and/or performed, on Scribble Applications, by selecting which among the series of images and or audio files comprising the Layer is to be displayed and/or performed within such Master through the Apps at a given time.
Each holder of a Token (whether Master or Layer) understands and agrees that the Creator retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Master and Layer, whether modified or unmodified. To effectuate the Creator’s ownership, to the extent allowed by applicable law, each holder of a Token hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Creator all right, title, and interest it may or will hold in and to the Master and Layer, both as modified and as unmodified, and hereby waives any moral rights and other retained rights. To the extent any rights in and to the Master or Layer cannot legally be waived nor assigned, each such holder of a Token hereby grants to the Creator an exclusive and unlimited, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, fully paid-up license, to use such rights and the Master and Layer (whether modified or unmodified) in any and all ways.

Such action may include delisting Creative Works, deleting your profile, banning you from listing new Creative Works, and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities.
Feedback
If you provide Scribble with any feedback or suggestions regarding the Site (“Feedback”), you hereby assign to Scribble all rights in such Feedback and agree that Scribble shall have the right to use and fully exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner it deems, in its sole discretion, appropriate.

Fees and Creative Work Sales
Creative Work Sales
Collectors do not pay any fees related to the initial purchase of Tokens. Secondary sales of any Tokens that take place on the Smart Contract will result in 1% of the purchase amount distributed from the secondary purchaser to Scribble. Any fees imposed by Scribble due to Scribble by the Creator, or any payments due to the Creator by Scribble shall be outlined in the Creator Terms. Scribble may introduce premium services and impose fees related to such services in the future. Primary and secondary sales of Tokens that take place on the Smart Contract must be paid in ether (“ETH”).
Limited Edition Sales
Scribble may, from time to time and in collaboration with select Creators, allow Users and Collectors to place an order for certain limited-edition Creative Works (“Limited Editions”). The offer will last until the quota has been filled (“Closing Date”).
In order to place an order for Limited Editions, you must have created a profile and provided an email address.
Primary purchases of Limited Editions can be paid with ETH or using a credit card through one of Scribble’s payment processors.
If you choose to pay using a credit card, you will be directed to our payment processor’s website to enter your credit card and other payment details. After 14 days has elapsed from the date of payment, you will receive a virtual unrecorded edition of the Creative Work (“Voucher”) which can be viewed by logging into your profile. You can then redeem the Voucher for the Limited Edition at any time by clicking “Record”. You will receive the Limited Edition in your connected Wallet within 72 hours of redemption.
If you choose to pay with ETH, you will receive a Voucher in the form of an ERC-1155 token on payment and will be able to redeem the Voucher immediately by logging into your account and clicking “Record”. You will receive the Limited Edition in your connected Wallet within 72 hours of redemption.
Your placing of a Limited Edition order constitutes your express agreement to Scribble charging the full purchase price of the Creative Work at such time. You will be charged the full purchase price at the time of placing the order. All Limited Edition orders are final and you may not cancel your Limited Edition order at any time.
If your Limited Edition order was successful, Scribble will mint the Limited Edition Creative Works on behalf of the Creator and transfer it to your connected Wallet within 72 hours of redemption. If your Limited Edition order was not successful, you will receive an email to that effect within 3 days of placing the order and Scribble will refund you the full amount of the purchase price. It may take up to 3 days for the funds to reach your account.
The placing of a Limited Edition order does not guarantee you the right to purchase the Creative Work. You acknowledge and agree that Scribble may decline or delay reservations to avoid over subscription, where Scribble receives notice from the payment processor that there has been a chargeback, or as it deems appropriate, provided that we will make efforts to inform you within two weeks of our receipt of your Limited Edition order, and that you will be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price.
For secondary sales of Limited Editions utilizing the Smart Contract, 5% of the purchase amount will be distributed from the secondary purchaser to Scribble.
Assumption of Risk
You accept and acknowledge:
You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your purchases and sales of Tokens. Scribble is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to Token transactions.
Scribble is not responsible for exploits that are not reasonably foreseeable. While Scribble has taken a number of precautions to ensure the security of the Smart Contract, the technology is relatively new, and it is not possible to guarantee that the code is 100% free from bugs or errors.
The Site does not store, send or receive Tokens. The Tokens are minted and transferred on the Smart Contract maintained by Scribble. Any transfers of Tokens occur via the Smart Contract located on the Ethereum blockchain and not on this Site.
There are risks associated with accepting cryptocurrencies as payment and purchasing blockchain based Tokens, including but not limited to, the risk of losing private keys, theft of cryptocurrency or Tokens due to hackers finding out your private key, lack of a secondary market, significant price volatility, hard forks and disruptions to the Ethereum blockchain. You accept and acknowledge that transfers on the Ethereum blockchain are irreversible and as a result, it is not possible for Scribble to issue refunds on Token purchases.
There is a risk that Scribble may be obligated to take down listings and remove Creative Works from the Site if it has received a Digital Millennium Copyright Notice (“DMCA Notice”) under Section 16. Scribble may also be obligated to serve a DMCA Notice to its IPFS service provider. If this occurs, the Token may no longer reference the Creative Work. Creative Works linked to images and/or audio files subject to a DMCA Notice may subsequently lose value and owners of Layer Tokens associated with Layers comprising such Creative Work may no longer be able to modify the corresponding Master or exercise the other rights granted to them by virtue of being the owners of such Layer Token
Where a Creative Work has been delisted from the Site, Scribble will cease Rendering Services related to that Creative Work or its associated Masters or Layers. Owners of a Token associated with a Layer that has been delisted must interact with the smart contract directly or find an external source to update their Token.
Scribble cannot guarantee payment of any royalties to Creators where transactions involving Tokens occur on third-party platforms or directly between Collectors.
Third-Party Links & Ads; Other Users
Other Users
Each User is solely responsible for any and all of its own User Content. Any descriptions and explanations of Creative Works are posted for informational purposes only and may not be independently verified by Scribble and/or its partners. Therefore, your reliance on such information is at your own risk. You should always verify information on our Site before making a bid or purchase. Because we do not control User Content and/or other third-party sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the accuracy or availability of any User Content and materials and/or external sites or resources, whether provided by you or by others. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content. Your interactions with other Users are solely between you and such Users. You agree that Scribble will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between you and any User, we are under no obligation to become involved.
Release
You hereby release and forever discharge Scribble (and our officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns) from, and hereby waive and relinquish, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or that relates directly or indirectly to, the Site and/or User Content (including any interactions with, or act or omission of, Users or any links or advertisements of third-parties).
IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) between Scribble and any User that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Scribble, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms of Use.
Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Scribble should be sent to: Scribble NFT, Inc. 27125 Sierra HWY #326 Canyon Country, CA 91351. After the Notice is received, you and Scribble may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Scribble do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
Arbitration Rules
Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this Section 17. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms of Use. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Scribble made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Scribble will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
Time Limits. If you or Scribble pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
Authority of Arbitrator
If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Scribble, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms of Use. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Scribble.
Waiver of Jury Trial
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Scribble in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE ASYNC WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
Survival of Agreement
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Scribble.
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Scribble may bring an individual action in small claims court.
Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
Courts
In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York County, New York, for such purpose.
