Last Updated: 28 February 2023

Introduction

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”) and The World of Orivium Pte. Ltd. (“Orivium”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) concerning your access to and use of the www.orivium.io website and the Orivium app as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the “Site” and the “App”). Orivium’s Orivium is a distributed application that is currently running on the Ethereum Network , using specially-developed smart contracts (each, a “Smart Contract”) to enable users to own, transfer, battle, and mint genetically unique digital cards representing heroes from Orivium universe. These assets can then be visualized on a website that the user can interact with (the “Site”). The Smart Contracts and the Site are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “App”. Using the App, users can view their assets and use the Smart Contracts to acquire, trade, battle, and mint heroes with other App users.

WE ARE ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS. BY USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE SITE, OR ANY OTHER OFFICIAL Orivium PRODUCT, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE AND/OR ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE, THE APP AND THE SMART CONTRACTS AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. We will alert you of any changes by updating the “Last Updated” date of these Terms of Use, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms of Use by your continued use of the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts after the date such revised Terms of Use are posted.

The Site, App, and Smart Contracts are intended for users who have reached the age of majority in their country of residence.

FEE AND PAYMENT

All purchases made on the site or marketplace will be facilitated through smart contracts on a blockchain using a wallet such as Metamask, or through the payment system of the App (such as the Apple Store or Google Play app store) if available. We will not have any access or control over these payments or transactions, and we cannot reverse any transactions. Therefore, we will not be liable to you or any third party for any damages or claims that may arise from any transactions conducted via the Site, the App, or the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions carried out via the Ethereum or app payment systems.

To conduct a transaction on the Ethereum network, a Gas Fee is required to fund the network of computers running the decentralized Ethereum network. You will need to pay this Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the App.

Additionally, each time you use a Smart Contract to conduct a transaction with another user through the App, you authorize us to collect a commission of 2.5% of the total value of that transaction (each, a “Commission”). This commission will also be levied on any payment made via the app payment systems. You acknowledge and agree that the Commission will be transferred directly to us as a part of the transaction.

You will be solely responsible for paying any and all taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) associated with your use of the App, including any taxes that may become payable as a result of your ownership, transfer, or minting of any Orivium assets. You agree to pay or reimburse us for all national, federal, state, local, or other taxes and assessments imposed by any governmental authority. You will not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties, or assessments from payments made to us under these Terms.

General Terms

Jurisdiction and Governing Law: Your use of our services and these terms will be governed by the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (2016) (Principles). For matters not covered by the Principles, generally accepted principles of international commercial law will apply, and if not available, the laws of the State of New South Wales, Australia will apply. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the use of the services or these terms, including disputes about their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the London Court of International Arbitration. The arbitrator will decide any challenges to its jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any part of the agreement to arbitrate. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and class arbitration or claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration are not permitted. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, its remaining portions will remain in force.

Limitation on Time to File Claims: Any cause of action or claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the use of the services must be filed within one year after the cause of action accrues, otherwise, it is permanently barred.

Amendment to Terms & Disputes: Any changes to the dispute resolution provisions in the course of updating these terms will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted on the Website.

Priority: In case of any inconsistency, the General Terms will be given priority, followed by the terms of Annexures, and then any other documents or information incorporated by reference.

Terms to be Interpreted in Accordance with Clear Commercial Purposes: These terms should be interpreted in line with their clear commercial objectives. If a literal interpretation would produce results clearly opposite to those objectives, then a different interpretation should be taken.

Severability: Each provision of these terms is severable. If a clause or part of a clause of these terms is illegal, unenforceable, or invalid but can also be read in a way that makes it legal, enforceable, and valid, it must be read in that manner. If any clause or part of a clause is illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, that clause or part will be removed from this agreement, but the rest of this agreement will remain unaffected.
