ADDITIONAL TERMS OF NFT PRIZES
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are intangible digital assets that exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the applicable blockchain network. For this Contest, the Polygon network is being used (the “Polygon Network”). Please read below for additional information about the NFT Prizes awarded by Clinique through this Contest, including terms and conditions for use of the NFT Prizes. By accepting the NFT Prize, you hereby agree to these terms and conditions, which are incorporated into, and made a part of, the Contest Official Rules by this reference.
REDEEMING THE NFT
Your NFT Prize is redeemable through Sweet. To accept your NFT Prize, you will be required to open an electronic wallet that is compatible with the Polygon Network (a “Wallet”) on Sweet’s platform. Your use of Sweet’s platform and your Wallet shall be governed by the applicable terms and conditions of Sweet’s site. You can use your Wallet to store your NFT Prize and engage in Transfers, using a credit card or via one or more cryptocurrencies that Sweet may elect to accept from time to time. Transactions that take place on the Sweet platform are managed and confirmed via the Polygon Network. You understand that your Polygon Network public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the Sweet platform. Further, you understand that Sponsor has no control over transactions on the Polygon Network, nor does Sponsor have the ability to reverse or refund any payments or transactions relating to the NFT Prize. Sponsor has no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the Sweet platform or otherwise via the Polygon Network. By participating in this Contest, you agree not to take any action on the Sweet platform that involves or results in the wrongful seizure or receipt of any NFTs or other digital assets, including the purchase or sale of NFTs by illegal means.
OWNERSHIP OF THE DIGITAL COLLECTIBLE AND ASSOCIATED NFT
When a Contest winner is awarded an NFT Prize through the Sweet platform, the winner becomes the owner of the underlying Digital Collectible and the NFT representing such Digital Collectible, but such ownership is subject to the limited license in and to the underlying artwork in the Digital Collectible (the “Artwork”) set forth in this Section. Sponsor owns and shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Artwork. Sponsor hereby grants to each Contest winner who is awarded an NFT Prize a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the Artwork in connection with the Digital Collectible and in accordance with the terms set forth herein. If you Transfer the NFT Prize, such license shall automatically be deemed assigned to any subsequent transferee of such NFT Prize. All rights to the Artwork are hereby expressly reserved by the Sponsor. Ownership of the Digital Collectible and the NFT representing such Digital Collectible is administered entirely on the Polygon Network. After becoming the owner of the Digital Collectible and the NFT representing such Digital Collectible, the winner may then Transfer it. Upon such Transfer, all ownership in that Digital Collectible and NFT by the transferor passes to the transferee. A Contest winner’s right to Transfer the NFT Prize to a third party is conditioned upon (i) the transferee’s acceptance of (i) these Official Rules including the Additional Terms of NFT Prizes incorporated therein and (ii) the terms and conditions of the applicable third-party platform used to make the Transfer.
Each winner of the Contest agrees that such winner shall not, nor authorize or permit any third party to, do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without the Sponsor’s express prior written consent in each case: (a) modify the Artwork in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes; (b) use the Artwork to advertise, market, or sell any product or service; (c) use the Artwork in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; (d) use the Artwork in any other forms of media, except to the limited extent that such use is solely for the winner’s own personal, non-commercial use; (e) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Artwork; (f) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Artwork; or (g) otherwise utilize the Artwork for the winner’s or any third party’s commercial benefit.
ASSUMPTION OF RISKS RELATED TO NFTS AND BLOCKCHAIN
Volatility:
The prices of NFTs are extremely volatile and subjective. NFTs have no inherent or intrinsic value. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your NFT Prize, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. Sponsor does not guarantee that any NFT Prize awarded in connection with the Contest will obtain or retain value, as the value of digital collectibles is inherently subjective, and factors occurring outside of the Contest, the Sweet platform, and Sponsor’s control may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular NFT.
Inherent Risks:
There are risks associated with using NFTs, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within an individual’s Wallet. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the potential utility or value of NFTs. ANY NFT PRIZE YOU WIN, OR ANY TRANSFER OF AN NFT PRIZE YOU MAKE, ACCEPT OR FACILITATE, WHETHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THIS CONTEST OR THE SWEET PLATFORM, WILL BE ENTIRELY AT YOUR RISK. SPONSOR DOES NOT CONTROL OR ENDORSE TRANSFERS OF NFTS.
Use of Blockchain:
The NFT Prizes awarded in connection with this Contest exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Polygon Network. Sponsor may store the Digital Collectibles and the NFTs representing such Digital Collectible on its own servers or those of third-party service providers. Any Transfer of NFT Prizes occurs within the Polygon Network and not on the Sweet platform.
IF YOU ARE A CONTEST WINNER, YOU ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SPONSOR WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COMMUNICATION FAILURES, DISRUPTIONS, ERRORS, DISTORTIONS OR DELAYS YOU MAY EXPERIENCE WHEN USING THE SWEET PLATFORM OR THE POLYGON NETWORK, HOWEVER CAUSED. UPGRADES TO THE SWEET PLATFORM OR THE POLYGON NETWORK, OR A CHANGE IN HOW TRANSACTIONS ARE CONFIRMED ON THE POLYGON NETWORK MAY HAVE UNINTENDED, ADVERSE EFFECTS ON YOUR NFT.
NFTs are intangible digital assets that exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the Polygon Network. All smart contracts are conducted and occur on the decentralized ledger within the Polygon Network. SPONSOR HAS NO CONTROL OVER AND MAKES NO GUARANTEES OR PROMISES WITH RESPECT TO SMART CONTRACTS. SPONSOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES DUE TO BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF THE POLYGON NETWORK, OR ANY ELECTRONIC WALLET, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LATE REPORT BY DEVELOPERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (OR NO REPORT AT ALL) OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE BLOCKCHAIN SUPPORTING THE POLYGON NETWORK, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES HAVING FUND LOSSES AS A RESULT.
SPONSOR WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY WINNER FOR ANY LOSSES YOU INCUR AS THE RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SWEET PLATFORM, THE POLYGON NETWORK, OR YOUR ELECTRONIC WALLET, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (I) USER ERROR, SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS OR INCORRECTLY CONSTRUED SMART CONTRACTS OR OTHER TRANSACTIONS; (II) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (III) CORRUPTED WALLET FILES; OR (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR ACTIVITIES BY THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTE-FORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK AGAINST THE SWEET PLATFORM, THE POLYGON NETWORK, OR ANY ELECTRONIC WALLET.
