TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT – BLOCKCHAIN SECTION

 

1 Apps, Services, Marketplace, NFT and Digital Trading Cards

 

1.1 By using any application (“App”) or services (“Services”), including but not limited to the Marketplace (defined below) provided by Panini America, Inc. or Panini Digital LLC (“PDL”) you agree to these Terms of Use and understand and agree that you are forming a binding contract (“Agreement”).  PDL owns and operates certain Apps, including but not limited to Apps branded as Panini Dunk™ and Panini Blitz™.

 

1.2 The Apps and Services allow you to purchase, sell, own and transfer digital trading cards (“Digital Trading Cards”) uniquely associated with non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”).  Using the NFT and a blockchain platform, PDL will ensure that when a user trades or sells a  Digital Trading Card, the acquiring App user will be the only App user who has access to that Digital Trading Card via that NFT and, thereafter, will be the only App user who can trade or sell the card uniquely associated with that NFT or otherwise interact with the Trading Card associated with that NFT.  The previous owner of the Digital Trading Card associated with that NFT will no longer be able to access or interact with the Digital Trading Card associated with the NFT.

 

1.3 Subject to your continued compliance with these Agreements, PDL grants you a ‎worldwide, non-exclusive, license to use, copy, and display the Digital Trading Card, solely for the ‎following purposes: (i) for your own personal, non-commercial use; (ii) as part of a Marketplace or other marketplace approved by PDL in its sole discretion (“Marketplace”), that ‎permits the purchase and sale of your Digital Trading Card.

 

1.4 From time-to-time, Panini may make products available through an Initial Product Offer (“IPO”). Unless otherwise specified at the time of the IPO, Pricing for IPO items will be based on the number of items offered and the offers made for those items. Offers made by other buyers will not be visible to buyers or the public. Panini will sell the times to the buyers with the highest offers (the “Winning Offers”) at a price equal to the lowest of the Winning Offers.

 

1.5 You acknowledge that neither Panini America nor PDL are auctioneers. PDL makes the Marketplace available to App users so that App Users may offer, buy, or sell Digital Trading Cards associated with a specific NFT to other App users. PDL, itself, does not buy or sell the seller’s product. The actual contract for sale is directly between the seller and buyer. PDL is only providing the platform and infrastructure as a service to App users. Prices are set by the seller. PDL does not guarantee that items will sell. App users that list an item for sale and set an ask price (“Ask Price”) are making a binding offer to sell and deliver the item to a buyer. An App user who offers to buy a posted item, once accepted by the seller, is contractually and legally bound to pay the specified price for such item and the price will be charged to the buyer’s account. 

 

1.6 When you trade or sell, a Digital Trading Card to another App user, PDL will charge the seller PDL’s then-current service fee.  PDL’s current processing fees are set forth as follows:

PDL will take as a service fee after a successful sale of a Digital Trading Card on the Marketplace based on the following rate schedule (other third party payment service fees may apply):

• $1 to $50,000   -    5%

• $50,001 and upwards - 2.5%

1.7 Ownership of Digital Trading Cards is mediated entirely by PDL’s Services and private blockchain network.  However, you may not copy or attempt to copy or circumvent the restrictions in the Apps or Services to make additional copies of any Trading Card, except as explicitly provided in this Agreement.

TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT – REDEMPTIONS

 

The following terms and conditions apply to your participation in the redemption program (“Redemption Program”) of Panini America, Inc. (“Panini”). Your participation in the Redemption Program indicates your acceptance of these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions may be amended at any time by Panini in its sole discretion. 

 

A redemption card (“Redemption Card”) is a card that contains a unique code allowing the owner of the redemption card to contact Panini and request the trading card referenced on the redemption card (“Identified Trading Card” or “ITC”) or a substitute trading card (“STC”) selected by Panini in its sole discretion. The trading card referenced by the redemption card may never become available for various reasons outside of Panini’s control, including the passing of the individual athlete.

 

To participate in the Redemption Program, you must access Panini’s website (www.paniniamerica.net), follow the instructions, which include the making of a redemption request (“Redemption Request”) prior to the expiration date indicated on the Redemption Card. Accepting these terms and conditions is also an acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale. 

 

Each redemption card can be used only once. Each redemption card includes an expiration date. If you do not submit a Redemption Request prior to the expiration date, the redemption card is void and cannot be used in the Redemption Program. If the Redemption Request is submitted prior to the expiration date, then it will be considered a timely Redemption Request. 

 

If the ITC is not available at the time of the Redemption Request, for any reason, Panini will so notify you and you will then have the choice either: 1) to wait up to six months for the ITC to become available; or 2) to request that Panini provide a substitute trading card (“STC”). If you elect to wait for the ITC to become available, Panini will attempt to provide the ITC within six months of the receipt of a timely Redemption Request. Panini makes no guarantees or warranties regarding whether the ITC will become available during the six month waiting period should you elect to wait. Regardless of your election, Panini reserves the right to send an STC after the expiration of the six month waiting period. 

 

If the ITC does not become available during the six month period, and Panini elects to send an STC, your only option is to accept the STC. 

 

An STC will be of an equal or greater monetary value as compared to the market value of ITC as of the time of the product release as determined by Panini in its sole discretion. Alternatively, Panini may supply two or more STCs that in total are of equal or greater monetary value as compared to the market value of ITC as of the time of the Redemption Request, as determined by Panini in its sole discretion. If you elect to request an STC and then reject the STC or STCs offered by Panini, then you shall have no further redemption rights and waive the right to receive any further compensation or alternate STC(s). 

 

By accessing and using the Redemption Program you are representing to Panini that you are the owner, or the authorized agent of the owner, of a valid and unexpired Panini Redemption Card. 

 

You agree that you will not provide any false or misleading information to Panini in connection with your participation in the Redemption Program and that should you do so, you will have forfeited any of your redemption rights. 

 

You agree that a redemption card can be used only once; that Panini is not responsible for any expired, lost or stolen redemption cards or any damage thereto that prevents use of the required unique information. 

 

These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regards to conflicts of law provisions. You agree that any claims arising from the Redemption Program shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas. You consent to exclusive venue and personal jurisdiction in said courts for said claims. Express provisions regarding governing law and venue may also be found in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND PANINI AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
