1.     Acceptance of the Agreement

This end user license agreement is entered into by and between you and Vermilion Studios Limited, incorporated in Gibraltar (including all affiliates and subsidiaries, collectively referred to as, “Vermilion,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, this “Agreement”), govern your access to and instalment and use of the social party game named Forgotten Playland (the “Game”), in addition to any content, functionality, and services offered through or otherwise in connection with the Game or https://forgottenplayland.com (or any sub-URL of such site), whether installed or used on a computer, console, or mobile device (collectively, the “Platform”).

Please read this Agreement carefully before you start to use the Platform.

2.     About Your Use of the Platform

Your use of the Platform requires a license (see sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement). In no event will any ownership to the Platform be sold or otherwise transferred to you, unless otherwise explicitly agreed with us.

To use the Platform, you may be required to register an account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (an “Account”). When you create or update an Account you must provide Vermilion with accurate and up to date information as may be required from time to time, including in accordance with applicable laws. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your own Account (see further info in section 5 of this Agreement).

To use parts of the Platform, a user may need to use a third-party, non-custodial wallet software that allows the user to interact with public smart contracts and blockchains for the purpose of unlocking certain features relating to the Platform. We do not operate, maintain, or provide any wallets or wallet services. We will at no time have any custody or control of any crypto-assets that any user is interacting with or using to unlock certain features in relation to the Platform. We are not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, lender or borrower.

As part of our Platform, you may from time to time gain access to decentralized open-source smart contracts deployed on public blockchains, such as the Beam network. Our Platform is distinct and separate from any of the smart contracts that may be accessed through it, and is merely one of multiple means of accessing such smart contracts. Users can interact with the same smart contracts otherwise directly, including to develop and build their own user interfaces on top of such smart contracts.

Our Platform may change, which may require that we include additional terms for certain new parts of the Platform (which, in such event, will be construed as part of the “Platform”). We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify or discontinue any parts of the Platform at any time and without any liability.

4.     Changes to the Agreement

We may revise and update this Agreement from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them.

In case of such a license suspension or termination you will not be entitled to any compensation in regard to the respective suspended or terminated License. For the avoidance of any doubt, as any crypto-assets owned and used by you in connection with the Platform are not controlled by us, you will maintain and retain ownership and control over such crypto-assets (unless disposed of by you by other means), including in the event that your License is terminated or suspended.

19.  Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Platform and this Agreement and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Gibraltar without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Gibraltar or any other jurisdiction).

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Platform and this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”), which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom. The language to be used in the arbitration shall be English. You and Vermilion agree to submit all Disputes between you and Vermilion to individual binding arbitration. “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Vermilion that relates to the Platform and this Agreement.

If a Dispute must be arbitrated, you or Vermilion must start arbitration of the Dispute within one (1) year from when the Dispute first arose. If applicable law requires you to bring a claim for a Dispute sooner than one (1) year after the Dispute first arose, you must start arbitration in that earlier time period. Vermilion encourages you to tell us about a Dispute as soon as possible so we can work to resolve it. The failure to provide timely notice will bar all claims.

In any Dispute, the arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with those aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and legal fees awards will be offset.

Any breach by you of this Agreement could cause Vermilion irreparable harm for which it has no adequate remedies at law. Accordingly, Vermilion is entitled to seek specific performance or injunctive relief for any such breach. Nothing in this section will preclude Vermilion from seeking specific performance or injunctive relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

20.  Waiver and Severability

No waiver by Vermilion of any term or condition set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Vermilion to assert a right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

21.  Entire Agreement

This Agreement, including without limitation, our Privacy Policy, and other terms and conditions applicable at the time you access the Platform constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Vermilion with respect to the Platform and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Platform.
