Terms and Conditions
-
Introduction
Welcome to 3DNS, owned and operated by 3DNS Inc. d/b/a 3DNS (“3DNS,” “we,” “us”, or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the 3DNS website(s), our APIs, mobile applications (“App”), and any live support, software, tools, features, or functionalities provided on or in connection with our services; including without limitation using our services to view, explore, help display and create NFTs, and using our tools, at your own discretion, to connect directly with others to mint, purchase, sell, or transfer NFTs on public blockchains (collectively, the “Service”). “NFT” in these Terms means a non-fungible token or similar digital item implemented on a blockchain (such as the Ethereum blockchain), which uses smart contracts to link to or otherwise be associated with certain content or data.
For purposes of these Terms, “user”, “you”, and “your” mean 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 16 BELOW, THEY INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WHICH (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) REQUIRE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT.
BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT, SIGN, 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.
3DNS is not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, dealer, financial institution, payments processor, money services business, or creditor. 3DNS provides a peer-to-peer web3 service that helps users discover and directly interact with each other and NFTs available on public blockchains. We do not have custody or control over the NFTs or blockchains you are interacting with and we do not execute or effectuate purchases, transfers, or sales of NFTs. To use our Service, you must use a third-party wallet which allows you to engage in transactions on blockchains.
3DNS is not party to any agreement between any users. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers using the Service and we make no claims, guarantees, or recommendations about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFTs (and any content associated with such 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.
3DNS 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.

Accessing the Service
Like much of web3, your blockchain address functions as your identity on 3DNS. Accordingly, you will need a blockchain address and a third-party wallet to access the Service. Your account on the Service (“Account”) will be associated with your blockchain address; however, if you want to add some flair to your 3DNS persona, you can add additional information, such as a profile picture, to your Account.
Your Account on 3DNS will be associated with your linked blockchain address and display the NFTs for that blockchain address (and, if applicable, any content associated with such 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 3DNS, and 3DNS does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and has no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. 3DNS 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 also represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws (e.g., local, state, federal and other laws)in connection with using the Service. In order to comply with our legal obligations and keep our users and platform safe, we may need to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Service. You acknowledge that 3DNS is under no obligation to disclose the details of its decision to take such action with you.
Without limiting the foregoing, by using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction that is subject to a comprehensive U.S. Government embargo (“Embargoed Jurisdiction”); (b) you are not subject to any sanctions administered by an agency of the U.S. Government, any other government, or the United Nations (collectively, “Sanctions”); (c) you are not owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person that is subject to Sanctions, or that is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction; (d) none of your officers, managers, directors, shareholders or authorized representatives is subject to Sanctions, or is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction, or is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person that is subject to Sanctions or that is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction; (e) you have not transacted and will not transact with any person or entity falling into any of (a)-(d); (f) you have not transacted and will not transact for the benefit of any person or entity falling into any of (a)-(d). You further covenant that the foregoing shall be true during the entire period of this agreement. If you access or use the Service outside the United States, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your access and use of the Service in such country, territory or jurisdiction does not violate any applicable laws.
3DNS 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, to provide you with a requested service, or to investigate a potential violation of these Terms. In such cases, 3DNS, 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 3DNS. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, 3DNS 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, geographic restrictions, potential violation of these Terms, or other actions that 3DNS, in its sole discretion, may elect to take. You understand that 3DNS, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account and/or reassign your username or associated url.
We require all users to be at least 18 years old. If you are at least 13 years old but under 18 years old, you may only use 3DNS through a parent or guardian’s Account and with their approval and oversight. That account holder is responsible for your actions using the Account. It is prohibited to use our Service if you are under 13 years old.

License to Access and Use Our Service and Content
You are hereby granted a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, and personal license to access and use the Service provided, however, that such license is subject to your compliance with these Terms. If any software, content, or other materials owned by, controlled by, or licensed to us are distributed or made available to you as part of your use of the Service, we hereby grant you a non-commercial, personal, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable, and non-exclusive right and license to access and display such software, content, and materials provided to you as part of the Service (and right to download a single copy of the App onto your applicable equipment or device), in each case for the sole purpose of enabling you to use the Service as permitted by these Terms, provided that your license in any content linked to or associated with any NFTs is solely as set forth by the applicable seller or creator of such NFT.
-
Third-Party Content, Agreements, and Services
As a peer-to-peer web3 service, 3DNS helps you explore NFTs created by third parties and interact with different blockchains. 3DNS does not make any representations or warranties about the third-party content that is visible through our Service, including any content associated with NFTs displayed on the Service. You bear responsibility for verifying the legitimacy, authenticity, and legality of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers. We also cannot guarantee that any NFTs visible on 3DNS will always remain visible and/or available to be bought, sold, or transferred. Users are solely responsible for any content related to their NFTs.
These Terms solely govern the use of our Service. NFTs are available on public blockchains, are purchased, sold, or transferred between a buyer, seller and/or creator directly, and may be purchased, sold, or transferred by buyers, sellers, and/or creators without the use of our Service and therefore without agreeing to our Terms. There may be terms and conditions that apply to the NFTs’ themselves set directly between buyers, sellers, and/or creators with respect to the NFT including with respect to the use of the NFT content and rights and obligations associated with a given NFT (“NFT Terms”). For example, when you click to get more details about any of the NFTs or NFT collections visible on 3DNS or view the NFT metadata, you may notice a third-party link to NFT Terms governing the use of the NFT that you will be required to comply with. 3DNS does not set the NFT Terms and is not party to any such NFT Terms, which are solely between the buyer, seller, and/or creator. The buyer, seller, and/or creator are entirely responsible for communicating, promulgating, agreeing to, and enforcing 3DNS Terms. You are responsible for reviewing such 3DNS Terms.
Sellers are solely responsible for determining and establishing the price of an NFT, inclusive of any applicable tax. Additionally, to the extent applicable, they are solely responsible for any mint count and minting mechanics for NFTs they sell.
For its Service, 3DNS may receive certain fees. 3DNS does not set, collect, or determine other applicable costs, fees, and expenses associated with buying and selling an NFT, including but not limited to any creator earnings, gas, or transaction fees. These costs, fees, and expenses are paid directly to the seller, creator, payment processor, blockchain validator, or other third party, as applicable. Because these costs, fees, and expenses are not collected by 3DNS, it cannot refund them.
The Service may also contain links or functionality to access or use third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”) and applications (“Third-Party Applications”), or otherwise display, include, or make available content, data, information, services, applications, or materials from third parties (“Third-Party Materials”). When you click on a link to, or access and use, a Third-Party Website or Third-Party Application, though we may not warn you that you have left our Service, you are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. Such Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials are not under the control of 3DNS, and may be “open” applications for which no recourse is possible. 3DNS is not responsible or liable for any Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials. 3DNS provides links to these Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Applications only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Websites or Third-Party Applications, or their products or services or associated Third-Party Materials. You use all links in Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials at your own risk.
The Service provided by 3DNS may rely in part on the User’s ability to access ICANN registered domain names. 3DNS cannot guarantee that you will be able to access ICANN, any ICANN registered domain, or any other aspect of ICANN’s services. Please review the ICANN Terms of Service for more information regarding your use of and access to ICANN services.

NO 3DNS PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES OR INJURY DUE TO LATE REPORTS BY DEVELOPERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (OR NO REPORT AT ALL) OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE BLOCKCHAIN SUPPORTING THE NFTS, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES OR ANY OTHER ISSUES HAVING LOSSES OR INJURY AS A RESULT.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties in contracts with consumers, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
-
Assumption of Risk
You accept and acknowledge:
- The value of an NFT is subjective. Prices of NFTs are subject to volatility and fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrency can also materially and adversely affect NFT prices. You acknowledge that you fully understand this subjectivity and volatility and that you may lose money.
- You understand that you are responsible for any fees related to use of the Service, including for actions you take on the blockchain, regardless of whether a successful transaction occurs, and that such fees are final and irreversible.
- 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 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 NFTs.
- You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions and to withhold, collect, report, and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. 3DNS is not responsible for determining, withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting any taxes that apply to your NFTs or the sale/purchase of your 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 NFTs or accounts/collections.
- We do not have ownership or control of the smart contracts deployed by third parties, and are not responsible and make no guarantees regarding their operation and functionality.
- 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 3DNS has no ability to reverse any transactions on the blockchain.
- There are risks associated with using Internet and blockchain based products, 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 3DNS 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.
- 3DNS reserves the right to hide collections, contracts, and items affected by any of these issues or by other issues. Items you purchase may become inaccessible on 3DNS. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view items on 3DNS or an inability to use the Service in conjunction with the purchase, sale, or transfer of items available on any blockchains serve as grounds for a claim against 3DNS.
- 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.
-
Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL 3DNS OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY (A) FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES AND PRODUCTS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF 3DNS OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR (B) FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM, DEMAND, OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF THE DELIVERY, USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES, AND PRODUCTS ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF 3DNS ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE, CONTENT, NFTS, OR ANY 3DNS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY 3DNS FOR ITS SERVICE TO YOU DIRECTLY RELATING TO THE ITEMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.

Privacy Policy
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and share information from and/or about you (“Your Information”). By submitting Your Information through our Service, you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of Your Information in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
-
Modifications to the Service
We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any features or parts thereof) at any time and without liability as a result.
-
Dispute Resolution; Arbitration
- Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with 3DNS and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. This section does not govern disputes between users or between users and third parties. 3DNS does not provide dispute resolution services for such disagreements and the parties must resolve those disputes directly.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Service, to any products sold or distributed through the Service, or to any aspect of your relationship with 3DNS, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, including threshold questions of the arbitrability of such dispute, controversy, or claim except that (1) you or 3DNS may assert claims in small claims court, but only if the claims qualify, the claims remain only in such court, and the claims remain on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis; and (2) you or 3DNS may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
- Dispute resolution process. You and 3DNS both agree to engage in good-faith efforts to resolve disputes prior to either party initiating an arbitration, small claims court proceeding, or equitable relief for intellectual property infringement. You must initiate this dispute resolution process by sending a letter describing the nature of your claim and desired resolution to: 3DNS, Attn: Legal Department, 2021 Fillmore Street PMB #1374 San Francisco, CA 94115-2708. Both parties agree to meet and confer personally, by telephone, or by videoconference (hereinafter “Conference”) to discuss the dispute and attempt in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial outcome that avoids the expenses of arbitration or, where applicable, litigation. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the Conference. Likewise, if 3DNS is represented by counsel, its counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but 3DNS agrees to have a company representative fully participate in the Conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process and Conference required by this paragraph. If the parties do not reach agreement to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after initiation of this dispute resolution process, either party may commence arbitration, file an action in small claims court, or file a claim for injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction for matters relating to intellectual property infringement, if the claims qualify.
- Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding after participating in the dispute resolution process, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent at 3DNS, Attn: Legal Department, 2021 Fillmore Street PMB #1374 San Francisco, CA 94115-2708. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees, interest, claimed punitive or other damages, or any claim in excess of the bona fide verifiable value of actual lost property shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards then in effect; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards then in effect. JAMS’s rules are available at jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352- 5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, 3DNS will pay them for you if you complied with the dispute resolution process set forth above. In addition, 3DNS will reimburse all such JAMS filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless (a) a resolution of your claim results in a smaller monetary judgment than 3DNS may have offered you to settle the claim, at any point, or (b) the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or you did not comply with the dispute resolution process set forth above, except that if you have initiated the arbitration claim, you will still be required to pay the lesser of $250 or the maximum amount permitted under the JAMS Rules for arbitration claims initiated by you. You are still responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or videoconference, based on written submissions, in person in your hometown area (if you live in the United States), or at another mutually agreed upon location that is reasonably convenient to you. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and 3DNS. The arbitration proceeding 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 arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms. 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 us.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND 3DNS HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and 3DNS are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the second bullet of this Section 16, above (“Applicability of Arbitration Agreement”). An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
- Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A REPRESENTATIVE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PAGA) OR COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER, PERSON, OR ENTITY CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER, PERSON, OR ENTITY. Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and 3DNS agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in New York County in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
- Severability. Except as provided in this Section, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with 3DNS.
- Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if 3DNS makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to 3DNS at the following address: 3DNS, Attn: Legal Department, 2021 Fillmore Street PMB #1374 San Francisco, CA 94115-2708.
-

You may still access your NFTs through public blockchains and other web3 wallets, platforms, and/or websites.
-
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.
-
Injunctive Relief
You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to 3DNS for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and 3DNS shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.

-
No Fiduciary Duties
These Terms of Service, and the provision of the Website and the Service, are not intended to create any fiduciary duties between us and the User or any third party. To the fullest extent permissible by law, the User agrees that neither the User’s use of the Website or the Service causes us or any User to owe fiduciary duties or liabilities to the User or any third party. Further, the User acknowledges and agrees to the fullest extent such duties or liabilities are afforded by law or by equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated, and that we and any other Participant shall be held completely harmless in relation thereof. The User further agrees that the only duties and obligations that we or any Contributor owes the User, and the only rights the User has related to this Agreement or the User’s use of the Website or the Services, are those set out expressly in this Agreement or that cannot be waived by law. Further, the User agrees and understands that they are responsible for all applicable reporting requirements and deadlines, including taxes and relevant fees, and that we owe Users no affirmative duties with respect to said reporting requirements and deadlines.

Your Account is not a checking or savings accounts. We do not provide any kind of insurance to you against any type of loss, including (without limitation) losses due to decrease in value of assets, assets lost due to a cybersecurity failure, or from your or other individuals’ errors or malfeasance. In most jurisdictions, crypto-assets such as NFTs are not considered legal tender, and most crypto-assets are not backed by any government. None of your transactions when using the Service are covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), or other similar protections.

-
Miscellaneous
These Terms (and any other applicable terms or policies incorporated by reference in these Terms) constitute the entire agreement between you and 3DNS relating to your access to and use of the Service. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of 3DNS, and 3DNS’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.
The Service is operated by us in the United States. Those who choose to access the Service from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. You and 3DNS agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.
Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
Terms and Conditions for Third-level Domain Names
-
Agreement. These terms and conditions (“Agreement”) apply to the registration and use of all third-level domain names provided through the Superchain Identity™ program. The Superchain Identity™ program enables you to apply for, register, and use third-level domain names (“3LDs”) in the super.box and chain.box second-level domains (“2LDs”). For example, you can apply for, register, and use a 3LD such as EXAMPLE.Super.box through the Superchain Identity™ program (“with “Example” being the word that you select to apply for, register, and use). For more information about the Superchain Identity™ program https://docs.3dns.box/docs/superchain-identity
-
The super.box and chain.box 2LDs are owned and operated by My.box Inc. (“We” or “Us”) and operated and managed by https://3dns.box/3DNS in conjunction with Optimism.
-
BY APPLYING FOR, REGISTERING, AND USING A 3LD YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU SHOULD NOT APPLY FOR, REGISTER, OR USE A 3LD AND/OR SHOULD CEASE ANY USE OF IT IMMEDIATELY. YOUR ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT SIGNIFIES THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.
-
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE MAY, IN OUR SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, CHANGE OR MODIFY THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY POLICIES OR AGREEMENTS WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, AT ANY TIME, AND SUCH CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS SHALL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING TO THIS WEBSITE. You acknowledge and agree that We may modify this Agreement in order to comply with any terms and conditions set forth by (i) ICANN and/or (ii) the registry applicable to the SLD.
-
Applicable Policies. 3LDS are not subject to the same policies, rules, or procedures as second-level domain names such as those that you would ordinarily register through an ICANN-accredited domain name register and which would accordingly be subject to a Registration Agreement with an ICANN-accredited domain name register. The reason for this is that 3LDs are not “domain name registrations” because they are just added on to the existing 2LD registration of Super.box and Chain.box. Accordingly, the specific rules governing the 3LDs are set out in these Terms and Conditions. You should also be aware that the 2LDS are governed by a Domain Name Registration Agreement between the registrant, My.box Inc. and the registrar, Namecheap. Accordingly, all terms and conditions contained in that Registration Agreement as well as all applicable ICANN policies, rules, and procedures, are incorporated herein by reference to the extent applicable.
-
Ownership. You acknowledge and agree that registration of a 3LD does not create any proprietary right for youor any other person in the name used in the 3LD or in the 2LD nor will the 3LD be entered into the .box domain name registry. You shall not in any way transfer or purport to transfer a proprietary right in any 3LD or grant or purport to grant as security or in any other manner encumber or purport to encumber a 3LD “registration”. The term, “registration as used herein does not refer to “registration” in the sense of registering a domain name in the registry or Whois database but refers only to the records that We keep of who uses a particular 3LD.
-
Indemnity. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (within 30 days of demand) My.box Inc., the .box Registry Operator, the domain name registrar, and their subcontractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, accountants, attorneys, insurers, agents, predecessors, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, costs, expenses, causes of action or other liabilities of any kind, whether known or unknown, including reasonable legal and attorney’s fees and expenses, in any way arising out of, relating to, or otherwise in connection with the your 3LD registration, including, without limitation, the use, registration, extension, renewal, deletion, and/or transfer thereof and/or the violation of any applicable terms or conditions governing the registration. You shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such indemnifiable claim without Our prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and you agree that these indemnification obligations shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, the registrar, or the registry BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFIT OR GOODWILL, FOR ANY MATTER, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS INCORPORATED AGREEMENTS AND POLICIES YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE DOMAIN NAME, YOUR LOSS OF DATA OR FILES OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
Usage and Services. We make no representation nor warranty of the nature or type of use that you may make of the 3LD nor of any service that may now or in the future be associated with the 3LD. All usage and associated services may change or cease without notice.
-
Conversion of 3LD to 2LD. At this time it is Our intention, and without making any representation or warranty that this intention will be fulfilled, materialize, or be successful in whole or in part, to permit registrants of a 3LD to convert it to an SLD in .super or .box in the event that We or our affiliates or partners are able to successfully apply and obtain from ICANN, permission to operate .super and/or .box in the next round of ICANN gTLDs. The possibility of this occurring is totally uncertain and therefore we do not make any representation or warranty of the likelihood of this occurring. YOU THEREFORE ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY APPLYING FOR AND REGISTERING A 3LD YOU DO SO WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION OF OR RELIANCE UPON A POSSIBLE AND UNCERTAIN FUTURE EVENT OF US OBTAINING THE RIGHTS TO OPERATE THE .SUPER AND/OR .CHAIN GTLDS AND THAT EVEN IF WE DO, YOU WILL NOT NECESSARILY HAVE ANY RIGHT TO CONVERT YOUR 3LD TO AN SLD DUE TO NUMEROUS POSSIBLE CONSIDERATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES.
-
Availability and Termination. We make no representation that your desired or selected 3LD is available for registration and use. We reserve the right to reserve any name in a 3LD for our own or third party use for any reason. We also reserve the right to terminate your registration and/or use of a 3LD without any notice for any reason in our sole unfettered discretion and in such event your sole recourse shall be limited to the greater of; a) the amount that you paid us for the registration and/or use of the 3LD during the then most current term; and b) USD $5.00.
-
Pricing, Term, and Renewal. Pricing for registration of 3LDs and any terms or renewal terms of registration terms are subject to change without notice. All changes will be posted on this website and it is your responsibility to monitor this website for all such changes.
-
Accurate Information. You agree to provide accurate personal contact information when you apply for and register a 3LD and to maintain its accuracy. You agree that for all purposes of contacting you or notifying you, We may use the contact details which you provided to Us.
-
Abuse. You agree to be bound by and to comply with Our abuse policies as determined by Us in our sole unfettered discretion from time to time and which are subject to modification and change as notified solely to you via this website.
