To access the Offerings, a User must explicitly consent to Vartifact Company’s privacy and data security practices, which can be found by visiting our privacy policy at https://Vartifact.io/privacy. 4 3. THE Vartifact DEX SYSTEM AND Vartifact APPS 3.1 Nature of Vartifact DEX System. The Vartifact DEX System is a public software utility deployed on Binance Smart Chain, which is accessible directly through any Binance Smart Chain node or indirectly through any compatible Binance Smart Chain “wallet” application which interacts with such a node. Through the Vartifact DEX System, any person may create, buy, sell and transfer Collectibles. 3.2 Relationship of Vartifact DEX System and Vartifact Apps. Interacting with the Vartifact DEX System does not require use of the Vartifact Apps, but the Vartifact Apps provide a potentially more convenient and user-friendly mBNBod of reading and displaying data (including Collectible Metadata) from the Vartifact DEX System and generating standard transaction messages compatible with the Vartifact DEX System. Interacting with the Vartifact DEX System through the Vartifact Apps requires use of an independent, User-operated Binance Smart Chain wallet application through which the user may broadcast the transaction message to Binance Smart Chain for processing by Binance Smart Chain nodes. The Vartifact Apps may be used to generate standard transaction messages for interacting with the Vartifact DEX System and transmitting those messages to the wallet application. Through the wallet application, a User may broadcast the transaction message to Binance Smart Chain for processing by Binance Smart Chain nodes. Assuming normal operation of the wallet and the relevant Binance Smart Chain nodes, the Binance Smart Chain nodes should utilize such transaction messages to make function calls against the relevant bytecode and ultimately include the results of such computations in an Binance Smart Chain transaction block, thus effectuating an interaction with the Vartifact DEX System. 3.3 License to Use the Vartifact Platform. Each User, subject to and conditioned upon such User’s acceptance of and adherence to these Terms, is hereby granted a nontransferable, personal, non-sublicensable license to use the Vartifact DEX System and Vartifact Apps for their intended purposes. 3.4 Alterations to Vartifact DEX System. Vartifact Company may from time to time alter the list of smart contracts which are included in the Vartifact DEX System by adding or removing bytecode addresses from the official list of smart contracts supported by the Vartifact Apps, including pursuant to upgrades, forks, security incident responses or chain migrations. In the event any bytecode is removed from the Vartifact DEX System, users would no longer be able to interact with or read the data that is associated such bytecode through the Vartifact Apps. It is intended (though cannot be guaranteed) that Users would continue to be able to interact with such bytecode directly through any Binance Smart Chain node or indirectly through any compatible Binance Smart Chain wallet application, but such interactions may require technical expertise beyond those of most Users. 3.5 Content. All content on the Vartifact Platform is created by Users. Vartifact Company makes no representations or warranties as to the quality, origin, or ownership of any content found in the Offerings. Vartifact Company shall not be liable for any errors, misrepresentations, or omissions in, of, and about, the content, nor for the availability of the content. Vartifact Company shall not be liable for any losses, injuries, or damages from the purchase, inability to purchase, display, or use of content. 3.6 DMCA Notices for Claims of Copyright Infringement. (a) Takedown Requests. Vartifact Company will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If a User or other person believes that their intellectual property rights have been infringed, please notify us immediately. For Vartifact Company to respond, the complaint must provide the following information: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; 5 (ii) a clear identification of the copyrighted work that is claimed to be infringing; (iii) identification of the online material that is claimed to be infringing, including, if possible, a URL representing a link to the material on the Vartifact website; (iv) information sufficient to permit Vartifact Company to contact the complainant, such as email address, physical address, and/or telephone number; (v) a statement that the complainant has a good-faith belief that the relevant material is being used in a way that is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and (vi) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate, and the complainant is the copyright owner or is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. (b) Submission of Takedown Requests. Users may submit their takedown requests using the following contact information: Vartifact, Inc. Attn. DMCA Notice 1209 Orange Street Corporation Trust Center Wilmington, DE 19801 Email: [email protected] (c) DMCA Counter-Notices. If a User believes that a User’s material has been removed by mistake or misidentification, the User may provide Vartifact Company with a written counternotification containing the following information: (i) the User’s name, address, telephone number, and email address; (ii) a description of the material that was removed, along with the URL where the content was posted in the Offerings prior to its removal; (iii) the following statement: “I swear, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that I have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled”; (iv) a statement that the User consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if the User’s address is outside of the United States, any jurisdiction in which the User may be properly served, and that the User will accept service of process from the person (or their agent) who filed the original DMCA notice; and (v) the User’s electronic or physical signature. Upon receipt of a valid counter notification, Vartifact Company will forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA notification. The original party (or their representative) will then have ten (10) days to notify us that he or she has filed legal action relating to the allegedly infringing material. If Vartifact 6 Company does not receive any such notification within 10 days, Vartifact Company may restore the material to the Offerings. (d) Repeat Infringers. Vartifact Company reserves the right to terminate the accounts or block usage of the Offerings of any party who is a repeat infringer or who is repeatedly charged with infringement. 4. FEES, COMMISSIONS, ROYALTIES AND OTHER CHARGES] 4.1 Fees. Creating, buying, selling or transferring Collectibles may be subject to fees, commissions, royalties and other charges (“Fees”) established from time to time in the sole discretion of Vartifact Company, a Collectible creator or participants in the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem.

Service fees may be adjusted from time to time in the sole discretion of Vartifact Company. Commissions are set in the sole discretion of the Collectible creator and may range from 0% to 100%; in the event that a User acquires a Collectible with a 100% commission, the User will be unable to collect any proceeds of a sale of that Collectible on the Vartifact Platform. “Gas” fees are set by the User through the User’s independent Binance Smart Chain wallet application, based on the market conditions on Binance Smart Chain. 4.2 Forms of Payment. Fees may be paid or payable solely in the manner determined in the sole discretion of Vartifact Company. On the date of initial publication of these Terms, all Fees must be paid in BNB. 4.3 Finality; No Refunds. All transactions involving the Offering are final. All Fees relating are non-refundable except at the sole discretion of Vartifact Company (for service fees and other fees within its control) or applicable third parties (Collectibles creators, Binance Smart Chain miners, etc.). 5.

The foregoing matters are referred to herein as “Prohibited Uses”. 6. THE Vartifact DAO & VARTI VOTING 6.1 Purposes of Vartifact DAO. The Vartifact DAO was established by Vartifact Company to foster community among the artists, collectors, traders and other users of the Vartifact Platform (the “Vartifact Community”) and provide them with a voice in how the Vartifact Platform is run, maintained, marketed, improved and otherwise governed (“Governance Decisions”). 6.2 Purposes of VARTI. VARTI are intended to be utilized by the Vartifact Community to participate in the Vartifact DAO, including by voting on proposed Governance Decisions (“Governance Proposals”). VARTI may from time to time be given additional uses as determined by Vartifact Company (in non-binding consultation with the Vartifact DAO) (during the Signaling Era (as defined below)) or by the Vartifact DAO alone (during the Autonomous Era (as defined below)). 6.3 Evolution of Vartifact DAO. The Vartifact DAO is intended to increase its autonomy and responsibility for influencing Governance Decisions over time. The anticipated evolution of the Vartifact DAO will be divided into two main periods or ‘eras’: (a) Signaling Era. The “Signaling Era” began on the date VARTI were first distributed to the Vartifact Community and currently remains ongoing. During the Signaling Era, Vartifact Company will retain ultimate operational and governance authority over the Vartifact Platform while consulting in its discretion with the Vartifact DAO regarding potential Governance Decisions (expressed as Governance Proposals made by Vartifact Company to the Vartifact DAO) expected to have a material direct impact on the interests of the Vartifact Community. During the Signaling Era, the actions and determinations of the Vartifact DAO will be treated as non-binding, advisory signals to Vartifact Company regarding the will and interests of the Vartifact Community, but will not be obligated to support or comply with the actions and determinations of the Vartifact DAO. Nevertheless, Vartifact Company currently anticipates abiding by the Vartifact DAO’s majority-supported determinations regarding Governance Proposals that are made by Vartifact Company during the Signaling Era, provided that the resulting Governance Decisions would not reasonably be expected to result in a violation of applicable legal requirement or have a material adverse impact on the Vartifact Platform or Vartifact Company. During the Signaling Era, VARTI holders may also initiate their own Governance Proposals (i.e., independent of Vartifact Company) to the Vartifact DAO. Vartifact Company will in good faith consider the merits of any such Governance Proposal that receives majority support of the Vartifact DAO during the Signaling Era, but Vartifact Company cannot currently anticipate the likelihood that Vartifact Company will choose to support or give effect to such independent Governance Proposals. 9 (b) Autonomous Era. During the “Autonomous Era,” to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, except as may be limited by applicable legal requirements, the Vartifact DAO will have exclusive ultimate authority to make Governance Decisions, including the determination of the smart contracts utilized in the Vartifact DEX System, the amount and types of fees to be charged to users of the Vartifact Platform and the use of such fees for funding the operation and maintenance by Vartifact Company of the Vartifact Apps or the operation and maintenance by other entities or persons of alternative applications for interacting with the Vartifact DEX System. The transition to the Autonomous Era will occur at a time to be determined in the sole discretion of Vartifact Company, subject to confirmation by the Vartifact DAO that it is prepared to assume all responsibility for future Governance Decisions. Vartifact Company’s plan for transitioning to the Autonomous Era currently remains under active research and development, but Vartifact Company currently anticipates that at least the following technologies, measures, conditions and agreements must be initialized and tested before the Autonomous Era can begin: (i) broad distribution of VARTI among a diverse cross-section of members of the Vartifact Community; (ii) the establishment and publication of legally binding Vartifact DAO Bylaws setting forth the principles, rules, procedures, standards of conduct and other relevant agreements and understandings determining the rights and obligations of VARTI holders, the voting of VARTI and the operation, coordination and decision-making of the Vartifact DAO; (iii) the completion of an initial compliance plan for abiding by tax laws and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Vartifact DAO; (iv) upgrading the Vartifact Governance Module to include a system of Vartifact DAO Smart Contracts facilitating trust-reduced compliance with the Vartifact DAO Bylaws and escrowing of fees generated by the Vartifact DEX System; and (v) the negotiation and signing of written commercial agreements between the Vartifact DAO, on the one hand, and Vartifact Company and/or other technology companies, on the other hand, through which the Vartifact DAO can provide funding and direction to such companies for the development, maintenance and operation of the Vartifact Apps, the licensing of relevant intellectual property such as branding-related trade dress and logos currently owned by Vartifact Company, and/or other applications and infrastructure necessary or useful for interacting with the Vartifact DEX System. (c) Current Vartifact Governance Module. As of the date of publication of these Terms, the Vartifact Governance Module is configured as follows: (i) potential Governance Proposals that may be of interest to the Vartifact DAO are typically first discussed and refined on gov.Vartifact.io; (ii) when ready to be formally considered by the Vartifact DAO, a Governance Proposal is entered and made available for voting on https://snapshot.page/#/Vartifact/; (iii) during the voting period (typically seven days), eligible VARTI holders may vote their eligible VARTI on the Governance Proposal through https://snapshot.page/#/Vartifact/, with each whole eligible VARTI entitling the holder to a single vote on each Governance Proposal (and each fractional eligible VARTI entitling the holder to a corresponding fractional vote); 10 (iv) eligibility of VARTI to vote on each Governance Proposal is based on a “snapshot” of VARTI account balances on Binance Smart Chain at a specific block of the Binance Smart Chain blockchain prior to commencement of the voting period for such Governance Proposal; (v) the official determination of the Vartifact DAO on the Governance Proposal will be the determination supported by a simple majority of the VARTI that were actually voted on such Governance Proposal; (vi) there is no quorum (minimum number of VARTI voting) required for the Vartifact DAO to make a determination on a Governance Proposal; and (vii) voters are only pseudonymously identifiable by Binance Smart Chain address; accordingly, there is no reasonably practicable mBNBod of verifying the identities or interests of voters and there are no express rules regarding recusal of voters or disqualification of votes based on conflicts of interest or other similar factors; however, Vartifact Company may take any evidence of conflicts of interest or other issues regarding specific voters that comes to the attention of Vartifact Company into account in determining whether and how to implement determinations of the Vartifact DAO in Governance Decisions. 7. SUPPLY, ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF VARTI 7.1 Vartifact Supply. The total number of VARTI is fixed at 1,000,000,000 VARTI (the “TotalSupply”). 7.2 Overview of VARTI Allocation and Distribution. (a) Vartifact Company has published its intention to allocate the TotalSupply as follows: (i) 25% of the TotalSupply (the “ReserveSupply”) will be allocated to Vartifact Company’s affiliates, founders, employees and other personnel (including grant recipients or technology development (sub-)contractors, if applicable) and equity investors; (ii) 10% of the TotalSupply (the “AirdropSupply”) will be allocated to bona fide active users the of Vartifact Apps (based on their trading volume prior to announcement of VARTI) and holders of Collectibles eligible to trade on the Vartifact Apps that were previously involved in sales documented on Dune Analytics; and will be allocated to users who engage in bona fide, good faith, arm’s-length trading of Collectibles on the Vartifact Apps, based on the transaction value of such trading. (b) All questions concerning the interpretation and implementation of such allocation principles and the eligibility of a given person to receive VARTI or the specific amount of VARTI to be received by an eligible person out of the ReserveSupply, AirdropSupply, MiningSupply or otherwise, as applicable, shall be determined: (i) during the Signaling Era, in the sole and absolute discretion of Vartifact Company or a special purpose vehicle or foundation established by the Vartifact Company to hold VARTI; and (ii) during the Autonomous Era, by the Vartifact DAO. 7.3 Certain Eligibility Requirements of VARTI Recipients. 11 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.2(a), and without limiting the generality of Section 7.2(b), Vartifact Company shall not be required or obligated to distribute any VARTI (out of the AirDropSupply, MiningSupply, or otherwise) to, or honor the voting or other rights of VARTI held by, any person who, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Vartifact Company, directly or indirectly, in connection with the use of the Vartifact Platform, Vartifact Apps, Vartifact DEX System, Vartifact DAO, VARTI or any transactions involving NFTs or Collectibles, has violated these Terms, including any use of the Offerings set forth in Section 5.2. Examples of disqualifying events include engaging in frontrunning,” “wash trading,” “pump and dump trading,” “ramping,” “cornering” or other fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative trading activities, or engaging in or facilitating ICOs or other financing transactions, for the purpose of increasing such user’s VARTI rewards or otherwise. 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF VARTI RECIPIENTS Each User hereby represents and warrants to Vartifact Company that the following statements and information are accurate and complete at all relevant times. In the event that any such statement or information becomes untrue as to a User, User shall immediately divest and cease using all VARTI and cease accessing and using all other Offerings. 8.1 Status. If User is an individual, User is of legal age in the jurisdiction in which User resides (and in any event is older than thirteen years of age) and is of sound mind. If User is a business entity, User is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, and has all requisite power and authority for a business entity of its type to carry on its business as now conducted. 8.2 Power and Authority. User has all requisite capacity, power and authority to accept the terms and conditions of these Terms and to carry out and perform its obligations under these Terms. These Terms constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of User enforceable against User in accordance with its terms. 8.3 No Conflict; Compliance with law. User agreeing to these Term and buying, selling holding, using or receiving VARTI does not constitute, and would not reasonably be expected to result in (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) a breach, default, contravention or violation of any law applicable to User, or contract or agreement to which User is a party or by which User is bound. 8.4 Absence of Sanctions. User is not, (and, if User is an entity, User is not owned or controlled by any other person who is), and is not acting on behalf of any other person who is, identified on any list of prohibited parties under any law or by any nation or government, state or other political subdivision thereof, any entity exercising legislative, judicial or administrative functions of or pertaining to government such as the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. government (including the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals list and Foreign Sanctions Evaders list), the European Union (EU) or its member states, and the government of a User home country. User is not, (and, if User is an entity, User is not owned or controlled by any other person who is), and is not acting on behalf of any other person who is, located, ordinarily resident, organized, established, or domiciled in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, the Crimea region (including Sevastopol) or any other country or jurisdiction against which the U.S. maintains economic sanctions or an arms embargo. The tokens or other funds a User use to participate in the Vartifact Platform or acquire Collectibles or VARTI are not derived from, and do not otherwise represent the proceeds of, any activities done in violation or contravention of any law. 8.5 No Claim, Loan, Ownership Interest or Investment Purpose. User understands and agrees that the User’s purchase, sale, holding, receipt and use of VARTI and the other Offerings does not: 12 (a) represent or constitute a loan or a contribution of capital to, or other investment in Vartifact Company or any business or venture; (b) provide User with any ownership interest, equity, security, or right to or interest in the assets, rights, properties, revenues or profits of, or voting rights whatsoever in, Vartifact Company or any other business or venture; and (c) create or imply or entitle User to the benefits of any fiduciary or other agency relationship between Vartifact Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates, on the on hand, and User, on the other hand. User is not entering into these Terms or buying, selling, holding receiving or using VARTI for the purpose of making an investment with respect to Vartifact Company or its securities, but solely wishes to use the Vartifact Platform for its intended purposes and participate in the Vartifact DAO in order to participate in the protection and improvement of the use and enjoyment of the Vartifact Platform for such purposes. User understands and agrees that Vartifact Company will not accept or take custody over any Collectibles, VARTI, cryptocurrencies or other assets of User and has no responsibility or control over the foregoing. 8.6 Non-Reliance. User is knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated in using and evaluating blockchain and related technologies and assets, including Binance Smart Chain, NFTs, Collectibles and “smart contracts” (bytecode deployed to Binance Smart Chain or another blockchain). User has conducted its own thorough independent investigation and analysis of the Vartifact Platform, VARTI and the other matters contemplated by these Terms, and has not relied upon any information, statement, omission, representation or warranty, express or implied, written or oral, made by or on behalf of Vartifact Company in connection therewith, except as expressly set forth by Vartifact Company in these Terms. 9. RISKS, DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. 9.1 No Consequential, Incidental or Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, Vartifact Company shall not be liable to any person, whBNBer in contract, tort (including pursuant to any cause of action alleging negligence), warranty or otherwise, for special, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages (including but not limited to lost data, lost profits or savings, loss of business or other economic loss) arising out of or related to these Terms, whBNBer or not Vartifact Company has been advised or knew of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of the nature of the cause of action or theory asserted. 9.2 Limitation of Liability. Vartifact Company’s liability for damages to each User shall in all cases be limited to, and under no circumstances shall exceed, Vartifact Company’s service fees actually received by Vartifact Company from such User. 9.3 Disclaimer of Representations. The Offerings are being provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vartifact Company is not making, and hereby disclaims, any and all information, statements, omissions, representations and warranties, express or implied, written or oral, equitable, legal or statutory, in connection with the Offerings and the other matters contemplated by these Terms, including any representations or warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, usage, security, uptime, reliability, suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, workmanship or technical quality of any code or software used in or relating to the Offerings. User acknowledges and agrees that use of the Offerings is at the User’s own risk. 9.4 No Responsibility for Collectibles; No Guarantee of Uniqueness or IP. Vartifact Company has no responsibility for the Collectibles created or traded by Users on the Vartifact Platform. Vartifact Company does not investigate and cannot guarantee or warrant the authenticity, originality, uniqueness, marketability, legality or value of any Collectible created or traded by Users on the Vartifact Platform. Collectors on Vartifact platform must cross verifiy the authenticity of the art. Vartifact is not responsible for any losses from plagiarised art. 13 9.5 No Professional Advice or Liability. All information provided by or on behalf of Vartifact Company is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional, accounting or legal advice. Users should not take or refrain from taking any action in reliance on any information contained in these Terms or provided by or on behalf of Vartifact Company. Before Users make any financial, legal, or other decisions involving the Offerings, Users should seek independent professional advice from persons licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate. 9.6 Limited Survival Period for Claims. Any claim or cause of action a User may have or acquire in connection with the Offerings or any of the other matters contemplated by these Terms shall survive for the shorter of, and may be brought against Vartifact Company solely prior to: (a) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto; and (b) the date that is six months after the date on which the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim or cause of action first arose. 9.7 Third-Party Offerings and Content. References, links or referrals to or connections with or reliance on third-party resources, products, services or content, including smart contracts developed or operated by third parties, may be provided to Users in connection with the Offerings. In addition, third parties may offer promotions related to the Offerings. Vartifact Company does not endorse or assume any responsibility for any activities of or resources, products, services, content or promotions owned, controlled, operated or sponsored by third parties. If Users access any such resources, products, services or content or participate in any such promotions, Users do so solely at their own risk. Each User hereby expressly waives and releases Vartifact Company from all liability arising from User’s use of any such resources, products, services or content or participation in any such promotions. User further acknowledges and agrees that Vartifact Company shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such resources, products, services, content or promotions from third parties. 9.8 Certain Uses and Risks of Blockchain Technology. (a) Use of Blockchain Technology. Vartifact Company utilizes experimental cryptographic technologies and blockchain technologies, including tokens, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, “smart contracts,” consensus algorithms, voting systems and distributed, decentralized or peer-to-peer networks or systems in performing the Offerings. Each User acknowledges and agrees that such technologies are novel, experimental, and speculative, and that therefore there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation and effects and risks thereof and the application of existing law thereto. (b) Certain Risks of Blockchain Technology. The technology utilized in delivering the Offerings depends on public peer-to-peer networks such as Binance Smart Chain that are not under the control or influence of Vartifact Company and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. Such technologies include the Vartifact DEX System, which Vartifact Company may have limited or no ability to change, other than ceasing to support certain “smart contracts” and adding support for new “smart contracts”. Users are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with the blockchain address used to participate in the Offerings. Vartifact Company will not be able to restore or issue any refund in respect of any Collectibles or VARTI due to lost private keys. If a User are not able to spend or use a Collectible or VARTI due to loss or theft of the corresponding private key or otherwise, a User will be unable to exercise their rights with respect to such Collectible or VARTI. (c) Certain Risks of Smart Contract Technology. Collectibles, VARTI and other digital assets relevant to the Vartifact Platform depend on the Vartifact DEX System or other smart contracts deployed to Binance Smart Chain, some of which may be coded or deployed by persons other than Vartifact Company. Once deployed to Binance Smart Chain, the code of smart contracts, including the Vartifact DEX System, cannot be modified. In the event that the Vartifact DEX System or other smart contracts are adversely affected by malfunctions, 14 bugs, defects, malfunctions, hacking, theft, attacks, negligent coding or design choices, or changes to the protocol rules of Binance Smart Chain, Users may be exposed to a risk of total loss and forfeiture of all Collectibles, VARTI and other relevant digital assets. Vartifact Company assumes no liability or responsibility for any of the foregoing matters, except as otherwise expressly provided by these Terms or required by applicable law. (d) Asset Prices. The fiat-denominated prices and value in public markets of assets such as BNB, NFTs, Collectibles and VARTI have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile. As relatively new products and technologies, blockchain-based assets are not widely accepted as a means of payment for goods and services. A significant portion of demand for these assets is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short- or long-term holding of blockchain assets. The market value of any BNB, NFT, Collectible or VARTI may decline below the price for which a User acquires such asset through the Vartifact Platform or on any other platform. User acknowledges and agrees that the costs and speeds of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Binance Smart Chain are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time, resulting in prolonged inability to access or use any BNB, NFTs, Collectibles, VARTI or other digital assets associated with the Vartifact Platform. (e) Regulatory Uncertainty. Blockchain technologies and digital assets are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties, and the Vartifact Platform, NFTs, Collectibles and VARTI could be adversely impacted by one or more regulatory or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines or judgments, which could impede or limit the ability of User to continue the use and enjoyment of such assets and technologies. (f) Cryptography Risks. Cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to Binance Smart Chain, the Vartifact Platform, NFTs, Collectibles and VARTI, including the theft, loss or inaccessibility thereof. (g) Fork Handling. Binance Smart Chain, the Vartifact DEX System, the NFTs, the Collectibles and VARTI may be subject to “forks.” Forks occur when some or all persons running the software clients for a particular blockchain system adopt a new client or a new version of an existing client that: (i) changes the protocol rules in backwards-compatible or backwards-incompatible manner that affects which transactions can be added into later blocks, how later blocks are added to the blockchain, or other matters relating to the future operation of the protocol; or (ii) reorganizes or changes past blocks to alter the history of the blockchain. Some forks are “contentious” and thus may result in two or more persistent alternative versions of the protocol or blockchain, either of which may be viewed as or claimed to be the legitimate or genuine continuation of the original. Vartifact Company may not be able to anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks, and does not assume any risk, liability or obligation in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Vartifact Company does not assume any responsibility to notify a User of pending, threatened or completed forks. Vartifact Company will respond to any forks as Vartifact Company determines in its sole and absolute discretion, and Vartifact Company shall not have any duty or obligation or liability to a User if such response (or lack of such response) acts to a User detriment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Vartifact Company’s possible and permissible responses to a fork may include: (i) honoring the Vartifact DEX System, Collectibles, NFTs and VARTI on both chains; (ii) honoring the Vartifact DEX System, Collectibles, NFTs and VARTI on only one of the chains; (iii) honoring the Vartifact DEX System, Collectibles, NFTs and VARTI in different respects or to a different extent on both chains; or (iv) any other response or policy or procedure, as determined by Vartifact Company in its sole and absolute discretion. Vartifact Company reserves the right to only allow one NFT to be associated with the relevant metadata forming the Collectible, notwithstanding that copies of such NFT 15 may exist on both chains following a fork. A User assume full responsibility to independently remain apprised of and informed about possible forks, and to manage a User own interests in connection therewith. (h) Essential Third-Party Software Dependencies. The Vartifact DEX System and other smart contracts deployed to Binance Smart Chain are public software utilities which are accessible directly through any Binance Smart Chain node (such as Infura) or indirectly through any compatible Binance Smart Chain “wallet” application (such as the web browser plugin Metamask) which interacts with such a node. Interacting with the Vartifact DEX System does not require use of the Vartifact Apps, but the Vartifact Apps provide a convenient and userfriendly mBNBod of reading and displaying data (including Collectible Metadata) from the Vartifact DEX System and generating standard transaction messages compatible with the Vartifact DEX System Because the Vartifact Platform does not provide Binance Smart Chain wallet software or Binance Smart Chain nodes, such software constitutes an essential third-party or user dependency without which the Vartifact Platform cannot be utilized and NFTs, Collectibles, VARTI and other relevant digital assets cannot be traded or used. Furthermore, Collectible Descriptors defining the art and text associated with a Collectible must be stored off of Binance Smart Chain. Collectibles created on Vartifact have their Collectible Descriptors stored on the IPFS system through an IPFS node operated by Vartifact Company, but Vartifact Company cannot guarantee continued operation of such IPFS node or the integrity and persistence of data on IPFS. 9.9 Legal Limitations on Disclaimers. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain liabilities and damages. Accordingly, some of the disclaimers and limitations set forth in these Terms may not apply in full to specific Users. The disclaimers and limitations of liability provided in these terms shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 9.10 Officers, Directors, Etc. All provisions of these Terms which disclaim or limit obligations or liabilities of Vartifact Company shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to the officers, directors, members, employees, independent contractors, agents, stockholders, debtholders and affiliates of Vartifact Company. 9.11 Indemnification. Each User shall defend, indemnify, compensate, reimburse and hold harmless Vartifact Company (and each of its officers, directors, members, employees, agents and affiliates) from any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out or relating to (a) User’s use of, or conduct in connection with, the Offerings; (b) User’s violation of these Terms or any other applicable policy or contract of Vartifact Company; or (c) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity. 10. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION. 10.1 Governing law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware irrespective of the choice of laws principles of the state of Delaware, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance and remedies. Although the Offerings may be available in other jurisdictions, each User hereby acknowledges and agrees that such availability shall not be deemed to give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction over Vartifact Company in any forum outside the State of Delaware. 10.2 Settlement Negotiations. If a User has a potential legal dispute, claim or cause of action against Vartifact Company, the User shall first (prior to initiating any litigation proceedings) contact Vartifact Company by sending an email to [email protected] describing the nature of the potential dispute, claim or cause of action and providing all relevant documentation and evidence thereof. If so elected by Vartifact Company, User shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a settlement of any such legal dispute, claim or cause of action within 60 days of the delivery of such email. Any such dispute, claim or 16 cause of action that is not finally resolved by a binding, written settlement agreement within such 60 days shall be brought and resolved exclusively in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 10. 10.3 Agreement to Binding, Exclusive Arbitration. (a) Mandatory Binding Arbitration. Except as set forth in Section 10.2, all claims, disputes and controversies directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with or directly or indirectly relating to these Terms or any of the matters or transactions contemplated by these Terms (for the avoidance of doubt, including any claim seeking to invalidate, or alleging that, all or any part of these Terms is unenforceable, void or voidable) (such claims, disputes and controversies, collectively, “Disputes”) shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, rather than in court. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court, agency or other governmental authority, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes. (b) Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereby acknowledge, represent and warrant that they understand that: (i) there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and, absent this mandatory provision, the parties would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial concerning Disputes; (ii) in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation; (iii) the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court; and (iv) court review of an arbitration award is limited. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the transactions contemplated hereby. 10.4 Arbitration Procedures. Vartifact Company or any User may initiate an arbitration proceeding by delivering written notice to the other, whereupon the parties shall reasonably cooperate to select an arbitrator and submit the relevant Dispute to such arbitrator. In the event the parties are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within 15 days from the filing of a demand for arbitration, the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) shall appoint the arbitrator. Any such arbitration shall be administered by the AAA in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the AAA excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Vartifact Company will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and reasoned, and binding on the parties, and may be entered by any party as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. 10.5 Seat of Arbitration. The seat of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator may choose to have the arbitration of any Dispute conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or at a mutually agreed location; provided, however, that Vartifact Company may opt to transfer the venue of any arbitration hearing to Wilmington, Delaware in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs a User may reasonably incur as a result of the change in venue, as determined by the arbitrator, and, subject to the foregoing, a User hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Wilmington, Delaware, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. 10.6 Confidentiality of Arbitration. Except to the extent necessary to enforce their respective rights under these Terms or as otherwise required by applicable law, the parties undertake to maintain confidentiality as to the existence and events of the arbitration proceedings and as to all submissions, 17 correspondence and evidence relating to the arbitration proceedings. This provision shall survive the termination of the arbitral proceedings. 10.7 Class Action Waiver. (a) No Class Actions Permitted. All Users hereby agree that any arbitration or other permitted action with respect to any Dispute shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the Users expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. USERS SHALL BRING CLAIMS AGAINST Vartifact COMPANY OTHER ONLY IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. (b) Agreements if Class Action Waiver Unenforceable. If any court or arbitrator makes a final, binding and non-appealable determination that the class action waiver set forth in this Section 10.7 is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void with respect to any Dispute that would thus be required to be resolved by arbitration on a class basis, and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate such Dispute. In the event that, as a result of the application of the immediately preceding sentence or otherwise, any Dispute is not subject to arbitration, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware and to accept service of process by mail with respect to such Dispute, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available with respect to such Dispute. 10.8 California End-User Consumer Rights. In accordance with Cal. Civ. Code Sec. 1789.3, if a User is a California State resident, the User may file grievances and complaints regarding the Offerings with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, Consumer Information Division; 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834 or by phone at 800- 952-5210; or by email to: [email protected]. 11.

A User shall not share or provide a copy of, or transfer to, any person any VARTI or the private key associated with any VARTI without notifying such person that such person shall be bound by and become a party to these Terms by virtue of thereof (or if the transferor has a reasonable belief that the transferee is aware of these Terms). A User shall not assign any of a User rights or delegate any of a User liabilities or obligations under these Terms to any other person without Vartifact Company’s advance written consent. Vartifact Company may freely assign, transfer or delegate its rights, obligations and liabilities under these Terms to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 11.3 Severability.

If a User do not agree to any such modifications, a User must immediately stop using the Offerings. 11.6 No Implied Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of Vartifact Company in the exercise of any power, right, privilege or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.
