Terms of Use
ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF USE
These terms of use are entered into by and between You and Aurory (“Company”, “we” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, these “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of the website and associated applications located at or linked to from https://aurory.io (the “Website”), as well as any white label solutions, applications, content, functionality, and services offered on or through Aurory, including the mobile, online, and PC platform versions of the game “Aurory” (collectively, the “Platform”) along with any other games and platform versions as Aurory may make available to you from time to time.
Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Platform. By using the Platform, or by clicking to accept the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at Privacy Policy incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Platform. All information we collect on this Platform is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the Platform, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with the Privacy Policy.
The Platform is an online gaming ecosystem that includes (i) a cryptographic wallet software used in and part of (ii) one or more interactive games. Broadly speaking, each game or application within the Platform is a distributed application that is running on the Solana Network, using specially-developed blockchain programs which enable users to interact with digitally rendered assets and items within the Platform. The Platform’s distributed technology also enables users to own and transfer other digital assets within each game. These assets can then be visualized on a website that the user can interact with or bought and sold among users. Any information we provide on the Platform, such as pricing, listing, and sourcing is for informational purposes. Also, Aurory has no control over and provides no guarantees related to: the existence, accuracy, quality, safety or legality of items advertised or user content; the ability or legal standing of sellers to sell items; the ability of buyers to pay for items; or that any user will complete a transaction or return an item. Items for sale can include physical goods and services, as well as digital items such as non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), blockchain programs, cryptocurrencies, and other digital-based goods (collectively, “Digital Assets”). Some Digital Assets may relate or interface with decentralized applications (“Dapps”) and the Solana blockchain.
The Platform is offered and available to authorized users who are 18 years of age or older who are acting in compliance with applicable law and who are not in breach of this agreement or legal obligations to third parties. The Platform is unavailable to users who have previously had their account disabled by Aurory for violations of these Terms of Use or other applicable policies. If the user is an organization, you affirm you have the right, power, and authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of, and to bind, said organization. If you do not agree to the provisions of these Terms of Use, you must not use the Platform or any of our services. By using this Platform, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Aurory and meet the foregoing eligibility requirements. You represent that you are legally permitted to use the Platform in your jurisdiction including owning, buying, selling or other transacting in Digital Assets and interacting with the Platform in any reasonably foreseeable way. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Platform. Without limiting the foregoing, by using our Platform, you acknowledge and understand that laws regarding Digital Assets may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is your obligation alone to ensure that you fully comply with any law, regulation or directive, relevant to your jurisdiction with regard to the use of our Platform. You further represent and warrant that you will not use the Platform if the laws of your country of residency prohibit you from doing so in accordance with these Terms of Use. For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to access our Platform does not necessarily mean that the Platform, or your activities through it, are legal under the laws, regulations or directives relevant to your jurisdiction. All aspects of the Platform, or the services made available through our Platform, may not be available to all users, and we reserve the right to assess or reassess at any time your eligibility to use all or part of our Platform. The availability of our Platform does not constitute, and may not be used for the purposes of, an offer or solicitation to anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that the game is still in open beta, and thus is subject to changes without prior notice and explicitly agree that the blockchain programs built into the Dapps that reside on the Platform and services are legally binding and enforceable upon you and the contract counterparty.
You must comply with the current version of any rules, guidelines, or instructions specified in any Company product including our Code of Conduct, the current version of which is linked below (“Code of Conduct”). The Code of Conduct is expressly incorporated into these Terms of Use. Any use of a Company product not in accordance with the Code of Conduct exceeds the scope of the license granted by these Terms of Use and is prohibited. The Code of Conduct of the Platform can be found here.
LICENSE AND ACCESS
Subject to your compliance with any terms required to access particular functionality or third-party offerings (“Service Terms”) these Terms of Use, and your payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and make personal use of the Platform and related services. This license does not include any resale or commercial use of the Platform data, or its contents; any collection and use of any software information, descriptions, or prices; any derivative use of any service or its contents; any downloading, copying, or other use of account information for the benefit of any third party; or any use of framing, data mining, robots, or similar data gathering, viewing, and extraction tools. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms of Use or any Service Terms are reserved and retained by Aurory or its licensors, suppliers, publishers, rightsholders, or other content providers. No portion of the Platform may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without Aurory’s express written consent. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or form) of the Platform without Aurory’s express written consent. You may not use any meta tags or any other “hidden text” utilizing our name or trademarks without our express written consent. You may use the Platform only as permitted by law. The licenses granted by us terminate if you do not comply with these Terms of Use or any Service Terms.
NFT LICENSE
Some Digital Assets sold or created on the Platform may include NFTs. When obtaining, selling, or purchasing an NFT, you agree and understand what characteristics NFTs have and how the following terms apply to their sale. An NFT is a digital tool that can, but does not always, represent real-world objects such as photographs, videos, writings, or music. NFTs are usually built using similar technology to digital currencies. But, while digital currencies are usually fungible, NFTs usually are not. Each NFT is coded into a blockchain and contains built-in methods for evidence of authentication and proof of ownership.
You further understand that blockchain transactions are usually not reversible. You understand that NFTs and other Digital Assets may only exist by virtue of the ownership record maintained on a blockchain, and further that blockchain programs are conducted and occur on decentralized ledgers. Aurory has no control over and makes no guarantees or promises with respect to such blockchain programs or the functioning of such blockchain or the persistence, or lack thereof, of the NFT or related content. In cases where a transaction involving a Digital Asset is revealed to be fraudulent or illegal or an infringement, or a buyer or seller acts fraudulently or illegally or in an infringing manner, then the defrauded or injured buyer/seller shall have no recourse against Aurory, but solely against the respective seller/buyer.
Sellers of Digital Assets are responsible for providing all necessary information in compliance with all applicable law and regulations regarding such Digital Assets in applicable listings on the Platform.
Aurorian NFT Usage Rights
When you purchase an Aurorian NFT on the Solana blockchain, you gain license to use the underlying artwork as you see fit. The ownership of this license is facilitated and managed on the Solana blockchain. By owning an Aurorian NFT, Aurory grants you a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the purchased Aurorian artwork for personal use, or as part of a marketplace or third-party website/application that cryptographically verifies ownership and ensures that only the actual owner can display the art.
As long as you comply with these Terms, Aurory grants you a worldwide, unrestricted license to use, copy and display purchased Aurorian NFT artwork for creating derivative works (such as producing and selling merchandise with copies of the art) under the term of "Commercial Use". It is important to note that this section does not restrict you from owning or operating a marketplace that allows for the use and sale of Aurorian derived artwork, as long as the marketplace verifies the owner's rights to display their art for their Aurorian. Additionally, you may own or operate a third-party website or application that allows for the inclusion, involvement, or participation of Aurorians, as long as the website or application verifies the owner's rights to display the art, and the art is no longer visible once the owner of the purchased Aurorian leaves the website/application. Lastly, you are allowed to earn revenue from any of the aforementioned activities.
All Other Aurory NFT and Asset Usage Rights
Creating original fanart without monetizing it is acceptable without any license or ownership. Creating derivative non-commercial fanart using official Aurory-assets as inspiration is also acceptable. Provided that you own said asset being used as inspiration, and receive written permission from Aurory, you are also granted a limited license to create derivative fan-art which can be used commercially given that you follow the terms set here in: Derivative commercial fan artwork must not use official Aurory assets (the Aurory logo, $AURY token logo, TOKE/OKA logo). For derivative commercial fan artwork, the artist must clearly state that it is “Aurory Fanart”, link to aurory.io, and link directly to the Solscan token address of the asset that is being used for inspiration. An Aurory asset can be used to generate a maximum of $10,000 in revenue before an official license agreement has to be signed. The revenue can come from either fanart (tokenized or physical) or merchandise (t-shirts, mugs, hoodies, etc).

Once the updated Terms of Use are in effect, you will be bound by the updated Terms of Use if you continue to use the Platform.

REFERRAL PROGRAM
Participation in the referral program is subject to the following terms and conditions. By participating in the referral program, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. The referral program allows eligible participants to earn bonuses by referring new users to Aurory. Eligible participants are defined as individuals who have a valid account with Aurory and have agreed to our terms and conditions. A valid referral is defined as an individual who creates a new account with Aurory using a referral link provided by an eligible referrer. The referral must be a new user to Aurory, meaning they must not have had an existing account with Aurory prior to the referral. Referrers will earn a referral bonus of 10% of their referees' weekly in-game rewards for a period of 180 days starting from the date of the referred user's account creation. The referral bonus will be calculated based on the total weekly rewards earned by the referred individual and will be paid out to the referrer on a weekly basis. Referrers are prohibited from offering incentives or rewards to individuals in exchange for creating an account using their invite link. Any referrer found to be participating in this behavior will be disqualified from the referral program. The referral bonus is non-transferable. The referral bonus will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the referred individual's weekly rewards, including any sanctions or restrictions on use. Aurory reserves the right to change the referral bonus percentage at any time and without notice. The current referral bonus percentage can be found on app.aurory.io/profile. Aurory also reserves the right to terminate the referral program or change the length of the bonus at any time and without notice. Aurory is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, or undeliverable referrals or communications, or for any computer, online, telephone, or technical malfunctions that may occur. Aurory reserves the right to disqualify any participant from the referral program at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to, violation of these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Aurory is headquartered, and any disputes arising out of or relating to these terms and conditions will be resolved exclusively by the courts located in that jurisdiction. These terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and Aurory regarding the referral program, and supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral.
RISKS
Use of the Platform may carry financial and legal risk. Digital Assets, such as tokens, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs, are a novel and relatively experimental technology. Their value, if any, can fluctuate with great volatility, and transactions conducted with Digital Assets are irreversible. Digital Assets and blockchain programs are typically described using extremely technical language that is difficult to understand and requires a deep knowledge of cryptography and computer science. Functionality made available on the Platform may have inherent design flaws that have not been detected in testing or may not perform as expected in conjunction with third-party technology or high-volume use. You should carefully consider whether you have sufficient understanding of the technology and the applicable law before accessing or using the Platform. The Platform uses gossip, virtual voting and hashgraph mechanisms to measure consensus. These technologies and platforms may have unique benefits, limitations, advantages and disadvantages. It is up to you to understand these factors.
By accessing or using the Platform, you hereby represent that you have the requisite knowledge and experience to evaluate the risk of the technology you are using and any transactions you undertake, and you accept the risk that the Platform might not function as anticipated and that you might lose access to your Digital Assets temporarily or permanently.
You acknowledge the importance of the security measures we put in place with regards to purchases, payment methods, and financial accounts, and agree to comply with them. If you become aware of an unauthorized payment transaction or of a delayed or incorrectly executed transaction, you must notify us immediately.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
11.1 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.
11.2 Binding Arbitration
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. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitration compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all the arbitration fees and expenses. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration can take place in the British Virgin Islands. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgement on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in the British Virgin Islands, 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 blockchain programs 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.
11.3 Exceptions to the Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provision concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, and of the intellectual property rights of a Party, (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal and 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.
LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE PLATFORM MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY
No waiver by Aurory of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Aurory to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and any applicable terms governing the use of third-party functionality or additional functionality provided by Aurory, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Aurory with respect to the Platform and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Platform.
ASSIGNMENT
At our sole discretion, we may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms of Use. In cases of such assignment, we will notify you accordingly.
FORCE MAJEURE
We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms of Use, for any failure or delay in performance, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event”), including: acts of God, flood, fire, epidemics, pandemics, natural disasters, explosion, war, hostilities, civil unrest, government action, industrial disturbances, shortage of adequate Internet connectivity, telecommunication or utilities breakdown, and other similar events beyond our control. If we suffer a Force Majeure Event, we will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify you of such, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. We will use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. We will resume the performance of our obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that our failure or delay remains uncured for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days following written notice given by us under this section, we may thereafter terminate these Terms of Use upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice.
TERMINATION
These Terms of Use are effective indefinitely, unless terminated in accordance with the below. We may terminate these Terms of Use by giving written notice fourteen (14) days prior via email to your registered email address. However, we may also terminate these Terms of Use on less notice or with immediate effect in the following scenarios: We are required to do so by law or a court order; a governmental authority requires us to do so to comply with anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing obligations; we have reasonable grounds to believe you are carrying out a prohibited or illegal activity; we are unable to verify your or your business’s identity, or any other information regarding your account; or you are otherwise in breach of a material contractual obligation, or seriously or persistently violating any provisions of these terms in any other way. Termination of these Terms of Use shall not affect the rights or liabilities of either party accrued until termination and/or any terms intended (expressly or implicitly) to survive termination. If there are pending payment transactions at the time the termination takes effect, they will be processed pursuant to these terms unless prohibited by law. IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION OF YOUR AURORY ACCOUNT, YOU MAY BE NOTIFIED TO WITHDRAW ANY CHARACTERS, IN-GAME ITEMS, AND CURRENCY PRIOR TO THE TERMINATION.
