Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Pirate Nation or provide and verify information about yourself (e.g., name and email address) in order to access and use certain features of the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Service, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Service, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Upon becoming a registered user, you may be prompted, or have the ability to, purchase Proof of Play Bucks (a form of in-game credits as explained below) using a credit or debit card or other supported payment methods. We work with one or more payment processors to process your payment to us, and you may be asked to register with the payment processors and be bound by their terms and conditions, and you agree to do so. All amounts you pay to purchase Proof of Play Bucks will become the exclusive property of Pirate Nation. Your Proof of Play Bucks will be made available to you as an “account balance” that can be used to purchase Virtual Items (defined below). The Proof Play Bucks have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash, transferred to a third party, or to make purchases from any other person. By making a purchase from Pirate Nation, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your state) and are authorized to use the payment method you present for the requested transaction.
Member Account, Password and Security: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account details, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Pirate Nation of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service.

Any use of the Service or the Service Content other than as specifically authorized herein is strictly prohibited.
Pirate Gold and In-Game Digital Assets: As part of your use of the Service, you may earn or obtain Pirate Gold, a digital coin that may be used only on the Service, including by completing certain tasks (e.g., a quest or crafting certain goods), and you may exchange your Pirate Gold for in-game abilities, items or other non-fungible digital assets (collectively, “In-Game Digital Assets”) that may be used and traded, subject to these Terms of Service or additional applicable terms. In-Game Digital Assets may also be purchased directly through the Service via fiat or crypto payments. MetaMask and other electronic wallets may allow you to purchase (either directly via Coinbase or via third party sites), store, and engage in transactions using cryptocurrency. Transactions may require the payment of a transaction fee (“Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the network. You will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via MetaMask or any other similar third party company that provides an electronic wallet. Pirate Nation neither owns nor controls Metamask, Coinbase or any third party company, product or service that you may access, visit, or use. Pirate Nation will have no access or control over these payments or transactions, or ability to reverse any payments or transactions. Pirate Nation will be not liable for acts or omissions of Metamask, Coinbase, or any other such third parties, nor will Pirate Nation be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interactions with any such third parties. You may be able to use the Services or other compatible wallet to send and receive any NFT or In-Game Digital Asset with other users of the Service. Pirate Nation does not offer any user the ability to exchange one form of currency for any other form of currency (fiat or digital). In-Game Digital Assets have no cash value. In-Game Digital Assets that you earn for in-game participation and that you do not purchase are provided for loyalty, award, and promotional purposes only.
Pirate Nation cannot ensure that any transaction details a user submits via the Services will be confirmed or processed on the blockchain. You acknowledge and agree that the transaction details submitted by you via the Services may not be completed or may be delayed by the any blockchain used to process the transaction. Pirate Nation does not guarantee that the Services can transfer title or right in any NFT or In-Game Digital Asset, and Pirate Nation makes no warranties of title of any kind. Once transaction details have been submitted to the blockchain, Pirate Nation cannot assist you with canceling or otherwise modify such transaction or details.
Ownership of In-Game Digital Assets is mediated by smart contracts and the blockchain. While you own In-Game Digital Assets, your rights to the artwork or content associated with the In-Game Digital Assets (“In-Game Content”) are licensed to you as set forth below.
Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms of Service, Pirate Nation grants you a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the In-Game Content associated with your In-Game Digital Assets for so long as you own the applicable In-Game Digital Assets, solely for the following purposes: (i) your use of the Service; (ii) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your In-Game Digital Asset, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each In-Game Digital Asset owner’s rights to display the corresponding In-Game Content to ensure that only the actual owner can display such In-Game Content; or (iii) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your In-Game Digital Assets, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each In-Game Digital Asset owner’s rights to display the corresponding In-Game Content, and provided that such In-Game Content is no longer visible once the owner of such In-Game Digital Asset leaves the website/application. If you make your In-Game Digital Assets available to other users hereunder, you acknowledge and accept that such In-Game Digital Assets shall be governed by these Terms of Service.
We may limit, modify, revalue, or make Pirate Gold more or less common, valuable, effective, or functional and may also change, at any time, potential In-Game Digital Assets on the Service or the requirements to earn such In-Game Digital Assets. In-Game Digital Assets may have limited supplies or may be offered for a limited period. We may, in our sole discretion, substitute In-Game Digital Assets with other In-Game Digital Assets of equal or greater value. You agree to comply with all requirements associated with In-Game Digital Assets, including any third party terms that may apply to the redemption, activation, or use of such In-Game Digital Assets. Pirate Gold and In-Game Digital Assets are intended to be redeemed only on the Service. You understand Pirate Gold is not currency, is not intended to substitute for currency, and cannot be used to purchase goods or services from other merchants. You are solely responsible for redeeming any Pirate Gold or In-Game Digital Assets within the time specified in your account or on the Service, and we are not responsible for your inability to use or derive benefit from any Pirate Gold or In-Game Digital Assets. You are solely responsible for paying any applicable taxes related to Pirate Gold or In-Game Digital Assets that you acquire. No credit or reversal of any Pirate Gold or In-Game Digital Assets will be provided once the Pirate Gold or In-Game Digital Assets are redeemed.
Virtual Items: In using our Service you may purchase, through our supported payment method(s), a limited, non-sublicensable, revocable right to use (a) Proof of Play Bucks (or other forms of in-game credits Pirate Nation may issue from time to time) for your use with our Services; (b) virtual in-application items, content or features; and (c) other goods or services provided by Pirate Nation (collectively “Virtual Items ”). You are only allowed to purchase Virtual Items from us or our authorized partners through the Service, and not in any other way. You must be 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your state), or obtain permission from your parent or legal guardian to purchase Virtual Items and provide proof of such consent to us upon our request. Virtual Items have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash. Virtual Items that you do not purchase but may be awarded to you for in-game participation or otherwise, are provided for loyalty, award, or promotional purposes only.
Pirate Nation may manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Items at any time, with or without notice; however, your Virtual Items may not expire within 5 years from the date of purchase or such longer period as required by applicable law. Pirate Nation shall have no liability to you or any third party in the event that Pirate Nation exercises any such rights.
Pirate Nation may limit, in its sole discretion, the amount of Virtual Items you may purchase in any transaction or in the aggregate. Should there be remaining Proof of Play Bucks in your account after a certain period of inactivity or after your account is closed, we may be required to remit the remaining value to the appropriate state agency. If that occurs, you will be required to contact the relevant state agency in order to claim your funds.
The use or transfer of Virtual Items is prohibited except where expressly authorized in the Service. Other than as expressly authorized in the Service, you shall not sell, purchase, redeem or otherwise transfer Virtual Items to any person or entity or attempt any of the aforesaid, including but not limited to Pirate Nation, another user or any third party.
ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF VIRTUAL ITEMS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.
The provision of Virtual Items is strictly for your personal, non-commercial use in Pirate Nation games. This is a service provided by Pirate Nation that commences immediately upon acceptance by Pirate Nation of your purchase.
You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered by you. Pirate Nation may revise the pricing for the Virtual Items offered through the Service at any time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PIRATE NATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.
Blockchain Transaction Fees: The delivery and receipt of any In-Game Asset through the Services may be subject to network or transaction fees charged by the blockchain (“Blockchain Transaction Fees”), which are non-refundable. Blockchain Transaction Fees are paid to emit, record, verify, and process a transaction on the blockchain. Any withdrawal or transfer of an In-Game Asset is subject to Blockchain Transaction Fees.
Risk Assumption: You accept and acknowledge each of the following: a) To the extent that you sell your In-Game Digital Assets, please be aware that the prices of such In-Game Digital Assets are extremely volatile and fluctuations in the prices of other tokens and NFTs may impact the price of your In-Game Digital Assets, both positively and negatively. Given the volatility, any In-Game Digital Assets should not be considered an investment. You assume all risks in that connection. b) You assume all risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, 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 your wallet. c) NFTs, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are relatively new and the regulatory landscape is unsettled. New regulations could negatively impact such technologies impacting the value for your In-Game Digital Assets. You understand and accept all risk in that regard. d) You assume all responsibility for any adverse effects of disruptions or other issues impacting any blockchain or its platform. e) In-Game Digital Assets are not considered legal tender, are not issued or backed by any government, and have fewer regulatory protections than traditional currency. Moreover In-Game Digital Assets are not insured against theft or loss by any insurance corporation or any investor protection, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

You agree that Pirate Nation, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including for lack of use or if Pirate Nation believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service.

These Terms of Service (together with the terms incorporated by reference herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and Pirate Nation governing your access and use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements between you and Pirate Nation with respect to the Service. In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Service and the Pirate Nation NFT Terms in relation to the Service, these Terms of Service will control. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use Third-Party Services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Pirate Nation submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Palo Alto, California. The failure of Pirate Nation to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Pirate Nation, but Pirate Nation may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in these Terms of Service, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service. Pirate Nation will not be in default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or causes beyond Pirate Nation’s reasonable control.
