The singular includes the plural, and the plural includes the singular. All references to hereof, herein, hereunder and other similar compounds of the word here shall mean and refer to these Terms as a whole rather than any particular part of the same. Unless designated as Business Days, all references to days shall mean calendar days. The use of the words “include” or “including” in these Terms will be construed to mean “including, without limitation” or “including but not limited to” and will not be construed as an exclusive or exhausted list of the topics covered.

4 - THE SERVICES

4.1 Purpose of the Services. The Services are provided for the sole purpose of allowing Users to mint a Particlon NFT an ERC-721 token on the Ethereum blockchain (“Particlon NFT”). Ownership of a Particlon NFT grants its holder various privileges determined by the Company, including no privileges, in its sole discretion from time to time, and access to future Particlon Ecosystem only features. Any information you provide or that is collected by the Company through the Services shall be handled in accordance with the Company’s Privacy Policy.

USERS ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY AND MANAGEMENT OF THEIR OWN PRIVATE ETHEREUM WALLETS AND VALIDATING ALL TRANSACTIONS AND CONTRACTS GENERATED BY THIS WEBSITE BEFORE APPROVAL. FURTHERMORE, AS THE SMART CONTRACT RUNS ON THE ETHEREUM NETWORK, THERE IS NO ABILITY TO UNDO, REVERSE, OR RESTORE ANY TRANSACTIONS.

4.2 Use of the Services. The Company grants you a non-exclusive license to access and use the Services, including the Website and all data, material, content, or information contained herein (collectively, the “Content”) solely for your personal use. Your right to access and use the Services shall be limited to the purposes described in these Terms unless you are otherwise expressly authorized by the Company to use the Services for your own commercial purposes. You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes, in compliance with all rules governing any transactions on and through the Services and in compliance with all Laws.

4.2.1 Additional Considerations

4.2.1.1 Transactions Are Recorded on the Public Blockchains. Transactions that take place as part of the Services are managed and confirmed via public blockchains including but not limited to the Ethereum blockchain. The User understands that its public address on the relevant blockchain will be made publicly visible whenever it engages in a transaction on the Services. We neither own nor control MetaMask, or any other Wallet, the Ethereum network, or any other blockchain network that we choose to interface with, or any other third-party site, product, or service that Users might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling the user to access and utilize the various features of the Services. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third-parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that a User may suffer as a result of its transactions or any other interaction with any such third-parties.

4.2.1.2 Gas. All transactions that take place as part of the Services are facilitated by smart contracts existing on a blockchain network. Blockchain networks generally require the payment of a transaction fee for every transaction. For example, 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 as part of the Services through the Ethereum network. The value of the Gas Fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of the control of Company. User acknowledges that under no circumstances will a transaction as part of the Services, 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 User.

4.2.1.3 Our Use of Account Information. Any owner of a Particlon NFT authorizes us to use its account information for all purposes related to the Services, provided that such access shall be used solely for the purpose of providing the Services.

4.3 Prohibitions and Restrictions

4.3.1 Prohibited Uses. You agree that you will not:

4.3.2 Restrictions.

All copyright and other proprietary notices on the Services (or on any content displayed on the Services) must be retained on all copies thereof. You will not use the Services for any illegal purpose.

4.4 Modification. Company reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (in whole or in part) with or without notice to you. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services or any part thereof.

4.5 No Support or Maintenance. You acknowledge and agree that Company will have no obligation to provide you with any support or maintenance in connection with the Services.

4.7 Affiliates. The rights, duties and/or obligations of Company under these Terms may be exercised and/or performed by Company and/or any of Company’s Affiliates, or any of their subcontractors and/or agents. Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the acts or omissions of Company’s Affiliates, and any subcontractor or agent of Company or any of Company’s Affiliates, related to the subject matter hereof. You agree that any claim or action arising out of or related to any act or omission of any of Company or Company’s Affiliates, or any of their respective subcontractors or agents, related to the subject matter hereof, shall only be brought against Company, and not against any of Company’s Affiliates, or any subcontractor or agent of Company or any of Company’s Affiliates.

5 - PARTICLON NFTS

5.1 Ownership. After successfully minting a Particlon NFT, you own the NFT. Ownership of the NFT is mediated entirely by the smart Contract and the Ethereum Network: at no point may we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Particlon NFT.

Ownership of a Particlon NFT grants its holder premium access to the particlon.xyz Discord server, and access to future Particlon Ecosystem features. After the minting process is complete, only holders of a Particlon NFT will have access to the Particlon Ecosystem and be able to enjoy the privilege of membership therein.

5.1.1 User Responsible for Custody. User is the sole custodian of any Particlon NFTs that it mints. Company will not grant you access to the Particlon Ecosystem and you will not be eligible for any other Project related Privileges if you lose access to, or control of, the Particlon NFTs and/or the Wallet in which it is located.

5.1.2 Rights to the Art. Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, Company grants you an unlimited, worldwide license to use, copy, and display the Art associated with the Particlon NFT for the purpose of creating derivative works based upon the Art (“Commercial Use”)

5.1.3 Limitations. Other than the rights to the Art, nothing herein gives you any rights to any other trademarks or other intellectual property rights belonging to Company including, without limitation, to the Project, the Website, the Services, Particlon, and the associated logos. All of these rights are expressly reserved in the name of Silmaril Holdings, Limited and/or Firma Lux, Inc.

5.2 Not Investments. Particlon NFTs serve exclusively as collectibles and as access tokens permitting access to the Particlon Ecosystem. They are not intended for any investment purposes. We make absolutely no promise or guarantee that the Particlon NFTs will hold any particular value once minted.

5.3 Taxes. You are personally and solely responsible for any and all tax liability which may arise from minting or reselling Particlon NFTs.

5.4 No Future Guarantees or Future Promises. Company hopes to continue to develop this project and community after its initial launch. When you mint a Particlon NFT, you agree that your purchase of the NFT from Company is all you are guaranteed to receive. Any future potential airdrops, or other events are not guaranteed and will be decided at the sole discretion of Company. Company cannot guarantee that the Project will continue to exist past any specific date. Accordingly, the project has no lower limit on how long it will exist or be run/administered to by Company.

5.5 No Refunds. All purchases of Particlon NFTs are conducted on the Ethereum blockchain, as such it is impossible to undo, revert, or otherwise refund a purchase of a Particlon NFT.

6 - PRIVACY

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

10 - ASSUMPTION OF RISK

10.1 User Acknowledges the Risk of Cryptocurrency and Smart Contracts. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS SUCH AS SMART CONTRACTS, PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK), NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS, AND THE INTERPLANETARY FILE SYSTEM.

10.2 Company is Not Responsible for Technical Errors on Any Blockchain. COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES DUE TO BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF THE ETHEREUM NETWORK OR ANY OTHER BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK COMPANY MAY INTERFACE WITH, OR THE METAMASK WALLET OR ANY SIMILAR BROWSER OR WALLET ON ANY BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LATE REPORT BY DEVELOPERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (OR NO REPORT AT ALL) OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE BLOCKCHAIN SUPPORTING THE ETHEREUM NETWORK OR ANY OTHER BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK COMPANY MAY INTERFACE WITH, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES HAVING FUND LOSSES AS A RESULT.

Upgrades to the Ethereum platform or any other blockchain network with which Company may interface, a hard fork in any such platform, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on any such platform may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the ERC-20, ERC-721, or ERC-1155 standards, including the Company ecosystem.

10.3 The User Acknowledges the Risks of the Services. You acknowledge that the Services are subject to flaws and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for evaluating any information provided by the Services.

10.4 Company Does Not Make Any Representations Regarding the Value of NFTs or Other Digital Assets. The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of NFTs, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development, potential utility, or value of NFTs. The Services, ETH, NFTs, and other digital assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory action. For all of the foregoing reasons, as well as for reasons that may not presently be known to the Company, the Company makes absolutely no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the value of NFTs or other digital assets.

13.1 Changes to these Terms of Use. The Company may update or change these Terms from time to time in order to reflect changes in any offered services, changes in Law, or for other reasons as deemed necessary by the Company. The effective date of any updates or changes will be reflected in the “Last Revised” entry at the top of these Terms. Your continued use of the Services after any such update or change shall constitute your consent to such update or change.

13.2 Waiver. The waiver by Company of a breach of any provision contained herein shall be in writing and shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or the waiver of the provision itself.

13.3 Governing Law & Jurisdiction. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, U.S.A. You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts in the City and County of Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Services not subject to the Arbitration Agreement in Section 13.4.

13.4 Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Company and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures of MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Within the Arbitration Agreement, Company and User may be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”

13.4.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Agreement or the use of any product or service provided by Company that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Company, and to any subsidiaries, Affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.

13.4.2 Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either Party may seek arbitration, the Party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Company should be sent to:

Silmaril Holdings, Limited.
Attn: Benjamin Lakoff
F2-04 Oceanic House
Providence Estate
Mahé, Seychelles
Email: [email protected]

After the Notice is received, you and Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either Party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any Party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either Party is entitled.

13.4.3 Arbitration Procedure. Arbitration shall be held in Denver, Colorado, and will be governed exclusively by the Colorado Revised Uniform Arbitration Act, C.R.S. §§ 13-22-201, et seq. (the “CRUAA”). The arbitrator will be selected from the roster of arbitrators at Judicial Arbiter Group, Inc. in Denver, Colorado (“JAG”), unless the Parties agree otherwise. If the Parties do not agree on the selection of a single arbitrator within ten (10) days after a demand for arbitration is made, then the arbitrator will be selected by JAG from among its available professionals. Arbitration of all disputes and the outcome of the arbitration will remain confidential between the Parties except as necessary to obtain a court judgment on the award or other relief or to engage in collection of the judgment.

The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Denver, Colorado, with respect to this section to compel arbitration, to confirm an arbitration award or order, or to handle court functions permitted under the CRUAA. The Parties irrevocably waive defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or other proceeding. The Parties may seek recognition and enforcement of any state court judgment confirming an arbitration award or order in any United States state court or any court outside the United States or its territories having jurisdiction with respect to recognition or enforcement of such judgment.

This provision for arbitration will not preclude a Party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief (“Provisional Relief”) in a court of law while arbitration proceedings are pending in order to protect its rights pending a final determination by the arbitrator, nor will the filing of such an action for Provisional Relief constitute waiver by a Party of its right to seek arbitration. Any Provisional Relief granted by such court will remain effective until otherwise modified by the arbitrator.

13.4.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

13.4.5 Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

13.4.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Wallet address, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with the Company. Mail your written notification by certified mail to:

Attn: Benjamin Lakoff
F2-04 Oceanic House
Providence Estate
Mahé, Seychelles
Email: [email protected]

13.4.7 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The Parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law.
