You hereby acknowledge and assume the risk of using and making purchases through the Platform and take full responsibility and liability for the outcome of actions initiated. Without limiting any risks that exist, you acknowledge the following risks related to blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens:
- NFTs’ values are subjective. The potential value of NFTs are subjective in nature and subject to volatility and fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrency.
- Regulatory uncertainty. 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 Platform and the utility of NFTs.
- Blockchain technology risk. 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 Digital Wallet or account.
- Digital asset risks. 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 that items are vulnerable to metadata decay, bugs in smart contracts, 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 non-fungible tokens.

We do not control Third-Party Services like the Ethereum network or other public blockchains, Digital Wallets, or other third party products that you may be interacting with, and we do not control third-party smart contracts and protocols that may be integral to your ability to complete transactions on these public blockchains.
- IPFS Storage. We do not store the digital file of the underlying digital artwork associated with any NFT on any Realm controlled servers. The digital file of the underlying digital artwork is typically linked through the Interplanetary File System (“IPFS”) using an IPFS node operated by a Third-Party Service. We have no control over IPFS or the IPFS node nor can we guarantee that it will always be available.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION - ARBITRATION
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully as it requires you to arbitrate disputes with Realm and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Platform, to any NFT sold or distributed through the Platform, or to any aspect of your relationship with Realm, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or Realm may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration with a description of your claim to our [email protected]. The arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the Parties shall select an alternative arbitral forum. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
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 arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim, 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 (including the Arbitration Agreement). 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.
YOU AND REALM HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN NUMBER 1 ABOVE.
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE.
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 to [email protected]. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply to you.
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.
This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of your relationship with Realm.
