The Platform

Accessing the Platform with an Ethereum wallet

To most easily access and use the Platform users can use Portis wallet. Portis is a non-custodial wallet web based that allows you to buy ETH with a credit card. First you need to create an account on the Portis website which you can then use to sign up. Alternatively, you could use Metamask which must first be installed via Google Chrome or Brave web browser. MetaMask is an electronic wallet, which allows you to purchase (either directly via Coinbase if you are in the United States, or via other third party sites), store, and engage in transactions using the native Ethereum cryptocurrency, ETH. You will not be able to engage in any transactions on the Platform other than through Portis or MetaMask (or other Ethereum-compatible browsers). The Platform will only recognize you as a User, and you will only be able to interact with the Platform, if your Ethereum electronic wallet is connected and unlocked through your Portis or MetaMask account. We may make available other wallet connections, at our discretion. There is no other way to sign up as a User, or to interact directly with the Platform.

Transactions Are Recorded on the Public Ethereum Blockchain

Transactions that take place on the Platform are managed and confirmed via the Ethereum blockchain. The User understands that your Ethereum public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the Platform. We neither own nor control MetaMask, Coinbase, Google Chrome, the Ethereum 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 Platform. 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.

Each Party may use any such information for any lawful purpose, but only consistent with the terms of each Party's privacy policy; provided, however, that User shall not use any such information for any purpose, product or service competitive with that of Mint Gold Dust or that is inconsistent with these Terms. Except as expressly set forth herein, your use of the Platform does not grant you ownership of or any other rights with respect to any content, code, data, or other materials that you may access on or through the Platform.

Mint Gold Dust Items

All artwork ("Art", "Work(s)", "Artwork(s)", or "Creation(s)") on the Mint Gold Dust Platform is represented by a unique cryptographic token exclusively Minted by one of Mint Gold Dust's approved Artists. Each Mint Gold Dust Item ("Item(s)", "Token(s)", "Non-fungible token(s)", or "NFT(s)") is Minted by an Artist using the Mint Gold Dust Smart Contracts based on an Artist's original Artwork. Mint Gold Dust Items are forever tracked and stored on the Ethereum blockchain, providing the Collector of a Mint Gold Dust Item with a permanent record of authenticity and ownership.

Creating Mint Gold Dust Items

Only Artists invited and approved by Mint Gold Dust are able to use the Platform to "Mint" and sell Mint Gold Dust Items. Artwork Minted and sold on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace includes, but is not limited to: visual works, audiovisual works, animations, audio, photographs, 3D works, GIFS, and other creative digital works.

Applying to be a Mint Gold Dust Artist

Artists seeking an invitation to create and list works for sale on the Mint Gold Dust Platform must submit a Request foundhere. Mint Gold Dust has unilateral discretion in curating its Artist network and makes no guarantees or promises that any Artists will be approved, even if the Artist was invited by a member of the Mint Gold Dust team to submit the Request.

Artist Whitelisting and Minting

Approved Artists are "Whitelisted" and granted permission to Mint Mint Gold Dust Items using one or more of our Smart Contracts. To create a Mint Gold Dust Item, approved Artists must upload an original digital Artwork, provide information about the artwork, authenticate the work, initiate a request to a token Minting Smart Contract and – voila – the Artist has Minted a unique, cryptographic token representing a digital version of the artwork.

Artist Agrees to Mint only "Original" Works

By Minting a Mint Gold Dust Item, Artists expressly represent and warrant that their Work is an original creation. Artists are prohibited from Minting Works consisting of unlicensed or unauthorized copyrighted content, including any imagery, design, audio, video, human likeness, or other unoriginal content not created by the Artist, not authorized for use by the Artist, not in the public domain, or otherwise without a valid claim of fair use. Artists can only Mint works that they personally created and must refrain from Minting works to which copyright ownership is unknown or disputed (i.e., commissioned works or "works made for hire").

Mint Gold Dust Copyright Community Guidelines

Copyright is the law of art. As a digital art platform, we take copyright law seriously and encourage our Artists and Collectors to learn more about their rights. Please visit the Mint Gold DustCopyright Community Guidelines for more information on copyright law, the difference between "original" and "infringing" content, and the fair use defense.

Artists Must Have Authority to Mint, Display, and Sell the Work

Artist expressly represents and warrants that works Minted on the Mint Gold Dust Platform contain only original artistic content otherwise authorized for use by the Artist. To the extent a Work contains unoriginal content, including content from Works by other Mint Gold Dust Artists, the Minting Artist further represents and warrants that it has permission to incorporate the unoriginal content. Artist represents and warrants that the sale, display or performance of minted Mint Gold Dust Item on the Platform is not a violation of any agreement, contract, or obligation owed to a third-party.

Artists May Be Removed from the Platform

Failure to abide by these Terms and/or the Community Guidelines may result in, without limitation, suspension or deletion of the Artist's account, revocation of the Artist's Minting privileges and other permissions to the Mint Gold Dust Smart Contracts or Platform, delisting the Artist's items on the Site, or paying monetary damages. Mint Gold Dust has the unilateral authority and discretion to remove, suspend, or revoke Artists' access to the Mint Gold Dust Smart Contracts or any other aspect of the Platform.

Artist Indemnifies and Releases Mint Gold Dust

Artist hereby agrees to indemnify Mint Gold Dust and be held liable for any claim against Mint Gold Dust arising out of the Artist's breach of these Terms. Artist hereby releases and forever discharges Mint Gold Dust from any damages or causes of action resulting from a sale of any of the Artist's listed Mint Gold Dust Items occurring after the Artist's breach of these Terms.

The Mint Gold Dust Marketplace

The Mint Gold Dust Platform facilitates a peer-to-peer digital art Marketplace and auction house where Artists, Collectors, and other Users can sell, purchase, list for auction, make offers, and bid on Mint Gold Dust Items. Collectors can obtain Mint Gold Dust Items by making an offer accepted by the Artist, purchasing at an established list price, or bidding on Items available in one of our revolutionary smart contract-enabled auctions.

Purchasing Mint Gold Dust Items with a List Price

Mint Gold Dust Items are optionally offered for immediate acceptance at a list price (in ETH or any ERC20 token available in the platform. The platform currently supports DAI, MATIC, MAKER and USDC) established by the Artist. Collectors can purchase Mint Gold Dust Items with a list price through the Site by sending an equivalent amount of ETH to a Smart Contract configured to initiate a transfer of the Mint Gold Dust Item, plus additional fees and gas.

Making Offers on Mint Gold Dust Items

Users can make offers on all listed Mint Gold Dust Items through the Site. Offers on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace are legally binding, revocable offers to purchase the Item capable of immediate acceptance by the Owner of the Item. By making an offer, the Collector agrees to temporarily send and lose control over the offered amount in ETH or any ERC20 token available in the platform. The platform currently supports DAI, MATIC, MAKER and USDC to a Smart Contract. The Smart Contract is configured to hold the offered ETH until either the offer is accepted by the Owner of the Item, a higher offer is received, or the offer is revoked. The Owner of the Item has the unilateral authority to accept the bid.

Mint Gold Dust Marketplace Prices & Fees

Every transaction on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace is subject to fees collected to support the Artists and the Mint Gold Dust Platform ("Fees"). Mint Gold Dust collects a 3% Marketplace Fee in addition to the Sales Price for every Sale of a Mint Gold Dust artwork on the Marketplace. For example, a Collector purchasing a Mint Gold Dust artwork for 1.00 ETH will pay 1.03 ETH.

The amount of Fees for the sale of a Mint Gold Dust Item depends on whether the transaction involving an item is considered primary ("Primary Sale") or a subsequent sale in the secondary market ("Secondary Market Sale"). This distinction is determined by total issuances of an Item sold. All Items on the Platform must reach a sales threshold equivalent to the number of issuances (each is a Primary Sale) in order for subsequent sales to be considered a Secondary Market Sale. By way of example, an Item that has been minted on Mint Gold Dust with an issuance of 10 must be sold 10 times (where each such sale is considered a Primary Sale) before any subsequent sale is considered Secondary Market Sale. This process is an attempt to compensate for the fact that 1155 tokens cannot be tracked individually.

Primary Sale

• The Artist receives 85% of the total sale price for Primary Sales.
• Mint Gold Dust collects 15% of the total sale price as a commission.

Secondary Market Sale

• Artists receive a preselected royalty percentage (this royalty amount is chosen by the Artist at time of minting.) based on the total sale price for Secondary Market Sales paid by the Collector who sells the Mint Gold Dust Item on the Mint Gold Dust.
• The royalty is deducted from the total sale price at the time of the purchase by operation of the Smart Contracts. For example, based on a 5% platform fee and a 10% royalty fee a Collector selling a Mint Gold Dust Item for 1 ETH on the secondary market will receive only 0.855 ETH, with the Artist of the Mint Gold Dust Item receiving the remaining 0.155 ETH as a royalty.

Users Agree to the Automated Collection and Disbursement of Fees by the Smart Contracts

The User agrees and understands that all fees, commissions, and royalties are transferred, processed, or initiated directly through one or more of the Smart Contracts on the Ethereum blockchain network. By transacting on the platform and by using the Smart Contracts, the User hereby acknowledges, consents to, and accepts all automated fees, commissions, and royalties for the sale of Items on the Mint Gold Dust Platform. The User hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by the Smart Contracts' execution and distribution of the fees, commissions, and royalties. Users hereby waive any entitlement to royalties, commissions, or fees paid to another by operation of the Smart Contracts.

Users Consent to Automated Royalties to Artists

The User consents to the automated collection and disbursement to Artists of royalties for Secondary Market Sales of Mint Gold Dust Items. The User hereby waives any first sale defense or argument with respect to secondary market activities resulting in a royalty to a Mint Gold Dust Artist.

Mint Gold Dust Makes No Representations on Price or Value

Users acknowledge and consent to the risk that the price of an Item purchased on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace may have been influenced by User activity outside of the control of Mint Gold Dust or the Mint Gold Dust Platform. Mint Gold Dust does not represent, guarantee, or warrant the accuracy or fairness of the price of any Mint Gold Dust Item sold or offered for sale on or off of the Marketplace. The User agrees and acknowledges that Mint Gold Dust is not a fiduciary nor owes any duties to any User of the platform, including the duty to ensure fair pricing of Mint Gold Dust Items or to police User behavior on the Marketplace.

Off Market Transactions

Mint Gold Dust does not generally collect any fees, commissions, or royalties for transactions occurring outside of the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace and not involving the Mint Gold Dust Smart Contracts. To support the Mint Gold Dust Artists and the Platform, we encourage Collectors to list Items for sale on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace, however Collectors are permitted to sell or transfer their Items on third party exchanges. The Artist and all other Users hereby waive any entitlement to royalties, commissions, or fees for off market transactions. The User irrevocably releases, acquits, and forever discharges Mint Gold Dust and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and successors of any liability for royalties, fines, or fees not received by the User from any off-market transaction.

Gas

All User transactions on the Mint Gold Dust Platform, including without limitation Minting, tokenizing, bidding, listing, offering, purchasing, or confirming, are facilitated by Smart Contracts existing on the Ethereum network. The Ethereum network requires the payment of a transaction fee (a "Gas Fee") for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network, and thus every transaction occurring on the Mint Gold Dust Platform. The value of the Gas Fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of the control of Mint Gold Dust or the Mint Gold Dust Platform. The User acknowledges that under no circumstances will a contract, agreement, offer, sale, bid, or other transaction on the Platform be invalidated, revocable, retractable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable to a User. Users also acknowledge and agree that the Gas Fee is non-refundable under all circumstances.

Taxes

Users are responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority associated with your use of the Platform (including, without limitation, any taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership, transfer, purchase, sale, or creation of any Artworks).

Marketplace Transactions are Executed by Smart Contracts

To initiate a transaction on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace, a User must voluntarily invoke one or more Smart Contract operations from an Ethereum Wallet. All transactions on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace, including but not limited to transfers, offers, bids, listings, sales, or purchases of Mint Gold Dust Items are initiated though one or more Smart Contracts at the sole discretion and at the complete risk of the Users. The Smart Contracts are configured to facilitate the execution of a voluntary User offer, an acceptance of an offer, or other confirmation to purchase, sell, bid on, list, or transfer a Mint Gold Dust Item. The User acknowledges the risk of Smart Contracts and agrees to be bound by the outcome of any Smart Contract operation by invoking, calling, requesting, or otherwise engaging with the Smart Contract, whether or not the Smart Contract behaves as the User expects.

User Acknowledges the Risk of Smart Contracts and Blockchain Technology

Mint Gold Dust Marketplace transactions, including but not limited to Primary Sales, Secondary Market Sales, listings, offers, bids, acceptances, and other operations through the Site utilize experimental smart contract and blockchain technology, including non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrencies, consensus algorithms, and decentralized or peer-to-peer networks and systems. Users acknowledge and agree that such technologies are experimental, speculative, and inherently risky. Users acknowledge and agree that the Mint Gold Dust Smart Contracts may be subject to bugs, malfunctions, timing errors, hacking and theft, or changes to the protocol rules of the Ethereum blockchain (i.e., "forks"), which can adversely affect the Smart Contracts and may expose you to a risk of total loss, forfeiture of your digital currency or Mint Gold Dust Items, or lost opportunities to buy or sell Mint Gold Dust Items. Mint Gold Dust assumes no liability or responsibility for any such smart contract or related failures, risks, loss of value or uncertainties.

Users Assume the Risk of Interacting with Smart Contracts

Users hereby acknowledge and assume the risk of initiating, interacting with, participating in Marketplace transactions and take full responsibility and liability for the outcome of any transaction they initiate, whether or not the Smart Contracts, the Mint Gold Dust Site, or other market participants behave as expected or intended. Users hereby represent that they are knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated in using blockchain technology, the Mint Gold Dust Site, and in initiating Ethereum-based transactions. Users specifically acknowledge that Smart Contracts may fail, generate inaccurate results, or otherwise be inconsistent and that any such inconsistencies or failure of Smart Contracts are outside of the reasonable control of Mint Gold Dust.

No Attacking or Interfering with the Smart Contracts

Users are forbidden from engaging in any attack, hack, denial-of-service attack, interference, or exploit of any Mint Gold Dust Smart Contract. Operations performed by a User that are technically permitted by a Mint Gold Dust Smart Contract may nevertheless be a violation of our Terms of Service and the law.

Mint Gold Dust Makes No Representations or Warranties

Mint Gold Dust makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, written or oral, made by or on behalf of Mint Gold Dust in connection therewith, including any representations or warranties of title, non-infringement, functionality, merchantability, usage, security, suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, workmanship or technical quality of any Mint Gold Dust Item or work, Smart Contract code, or software.

Mint Gold Dust is Not Liable for the Outcome of Any Marketplace Transaction

Mint Gold Dust shall not be liable to you for contract, tort, or any other types of damages, including indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages arising out of or related to participation in or the outcome of a Marketplace transaction, whether or not Mint Gold Dust has been advised or knew of the possibility of such damages. Mint Gold Dust's liability for damages under this Agreement shall in all cases be limited to, and under no circumstances shall exceed, the amount of proceeds actually received by Mint Gold Dust arising out of the damage after deducting all costs, fees and liabilities incurred by or on behalf of Mint Gold Dust.

Mint Gold Dust May Modify these Terms and the Smart Contracts

Mint Gold Dust reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to amend, modify, alter or supplement these Terms and the Smart Contracts accessible through the Mint Gold Dust Site from time to time.

The Marketplace Smart Contracts Are Not Controlled By Mint Gold Dust

All Marketplace transactions are executed by one or more Smart Contracts processed on the Ethereum Virtual Machine and not under any direct control by Mint Gold Dust or any other third party. The User acknowledges and agrees that Mint Gold Dust is not a party to any agreement or transaction between any Users involving the purchase, offer, sale, auction, or transfer of Mint Gold Dust Items, whether or not a commission or fee is received by Mint Gold Dust as a consequence of the transaction. Items listed for sale on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace are not offered on consignment or held in trust on behalf of any Artist, Collector, Owner, or User. Mint Gold Dust reserves the right to execute Smart Contract transactions on the Mint Gold Dust Marketplace as a collector of Mint Gold Dust items.

Marketplace Conduct

The Mint Gold Dust Marketplace is a transparent and open digital art Marketplace that depends on the honest participation of all Users.

Users are Prohibited from Manipulating Market Prices

Users are expressly forbidden from accepting, soliciting, offering, bidding, engaging with the Smart Contracts, or otherwise transacting on or off of the Mint Gold Dust Platform with the intent to artificially devalue, inflate, or otherwise deceptively influence, misrepresent, or cause to be misrepresented the price a Mint Gold Dust Item, groups of Mint Gold Dust Items, or Mint Gold Dust Items created by particular Artists.

Users are Prohibited from Bidding on, Making Offers on, or Purchasing Their Own Works

Mint Gold Dust Artists, Owners, and Collectors are expressly forbidden from bidding, purchasing, or making offers on their own listed or offered Mint Gold Dust Items, especially for the purpose of artificially influencing the price of the listed Item(s).

Users are Prohibited from Anticompetitive Conduct

Users are generally forbidden from engaging any deceptive conduct that may prevent competitive or fair bidding, artificially inflate or deflate the price of a work, simulate demand for a work (i.e, "wash trading"), or any other anti competitive bidding conduct such as but not limited to "puffing," "chill bidding," "shill bidding," "sham bidding," or "sock puppet bidding."

Users are Prohibited from Using the Marketplace to Conceal Economic Activity

Users are expressly forbidden from selling Works, listing items for Auction, making bids during an Auction, purchasing a Work, or engaging in any other Marketplace transaction for the purpose of concealing economic activity, laundering money, or financing terrorism. For example, and without limitation, Users are forbidden from using the Platform and any Smart Contract to conceal or transfer proceeds or assets relating to criminal activity or to pay for an Item for any other reason than to obtain the Item. All Users expressly represent and warrant by performing transactions involving the Mint Gold Dust Site or Smart Contracts that their actions are legal under United States law and the jurisdiction from which they initiate the transaction.

Users Agree to Report Suspicious Market Activity

Users agree to report suspicious market activity of other Mint Gold Dust Users. If a User suspects that one or more Mint Gold Dust Users are in violation of these Terms, the User should promptly inform the Mint Gold Dust team at [email protected].

Violation of the Marketplace Code of Conduct May Result in Mint Gold Dust Intervention

The User hereby agrees and acknowledges that any forbidden Marketplace conduct described herein and in the Community Guidelines may be a violation of federal or state law and/or these Terms. Mint Gold Dust hereby reserves the right to completely or partially restrict or revoke a User's access to the Site for violating these Terms. Mint Gold Dust reserves the right to amend, rectify, edit, or otherwise alter Mint Gold Dust Market transaction data to mitigate market harm caused by a User's violation of these terms.

User Releases Mint Gold Dust from Claims Arising From Other Users' Violations of these Terms

The User irrevocably releases, acquits, and forever discharges Mint Gold Dust and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and successors for and against any and all past or future causes of action, suits, or controversies arising out of another User's violation of these Terms.

Ownership

All works Minted on the Platform are subject to the Mint Gold Dust license, the terms of which are described below. All Users who receive a Mint Gold Dust Item acknowledge and agree to accept or purchase the Item subject to the conditions of the license.

Ownership of a Mint Gold Dust Item

Owning a Mint Gold Dust Item is similar to owning a piece of physical art. You own a cryptographic token representing the Artist's creative Work as a piece of property, but you do not own the creative Work itself. Collectors may show off their ownership of collected Mint Gold Dust Items by displaying and sharing the underlying Artwork, but Collectors do not have any legal ownership, right, or title to any copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights to the underlying Artwork, excepting the limited license granted by these Terms to underlying Artwork. The Artist reserves all exclusive copyrights to Artworks underlying Mint Gold Dust Items Minted by the Artist on the Platform, including but not limited to the right to reproduce, to prepare derivative works, to display, to perform, and to distribute the Artworks.

The Collector's Limited License to a Minted Artwork

Owning a Mint Gold Dust Item is also different than owning a piece of physical art. Art on the Mint Gold Dust Platform is digital, meaning that it is inherently easier to share, display, replicate, and distribute around cyberspace. OurCommunity Guidelines encourage Collectors to show off, promote, and share their collected Items, but the Collectors may not infringe on any of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder (i.e., the Artist).
