Etherland use its technology and its designers to represent real estates, or place in the world in the form of NFT digital art. Etherland is not responsible for tokenizing or digitalising a real estate that is not the real owners property when an order has been made by the user claiming to be the real owner.

Therefore the token does not represent in anyway a certification or proof of ownership. Certain jurisdictions accept already the blockchain and IPFS as legal proofs. This depends of the countries and in some cases, Etherland Blockchain LAND ID and data can be used to proof ownership. However, Etherland does not guarantee that the data stored would be able to proof an ownership right.

The user understand that the digital art created is mainly for use in a collection and gaming way. For any serious use cases that would derive from it, Etherland shall not be held responsible.

  • any warranties and representations with respect to the content, information, data, availability, uninterrupted access, Services or products provided through or in connection with the LAND ID and the Website, Products or Mobile Application;

Risks

Buyer has carefully reviewed, acknowledges, understands and assumes the following risks, as well as all other risks associated with the tokens (including those not discussed herein), all of which could render the tokens worthless or of little value. By using ELAND tokens and other cryptocurrencies, Buyer represents/warrants and accepts :

-That Tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with the Tokens in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Ethereum platform rests on open source software and Tokens are based on open-source software, there is the risk that Ethereum smart contracts may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses that may negatively affect the Tokens or result in the loss of Owner’s Tokens, the loss of Owner’s ability to access or control Owner’s Tokens or the loss of Owner’s account. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and holders of Tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.

-That tokens purchased by Owner may be held by Owner in Owner’s digital wallet which requires a private key, or a combination of private keys, for access. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with Owner’s digital wallet storing Tokens will result in loss of such Tokens, access to Owner’s Token balance and/or any initial balances in blockchains created by third parties. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service Owner uses, may be able to misappropriate Owner’s Tokens. DAO is not responsible for any such losses.

-That the Blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction and that it is possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or introduce new regulations addressing Blockchain technology-based applications, which may be contrary to the current setup of the Etherland project and which may, inter alia, result in substantial modifications of the Etherland project.

That there is always a possibility of change of token sale regulations across the world, including, but not limited to, the possibility of token sales’ ban in particular jurisdictions, and thus Etherland cannot be responsible for these regulatory changes, as well as cannot guarantee any refunds and cancellations in such event.

-That the regulatory status of tokens, digital assets and blockchain technology are unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology and its applications. Such changes could negatively impact Tokens in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that Tokens are regulated financial instruments that require registration. Etherland may cease the distribution of tokens or cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so.

-That the industry in which Etherland DAO operates is new, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not examine the operations of Etherland and/or pursue enforcement actions against Etherland. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting DAO in particular. All of this may subject the DAO to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause Etherland to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm Etherland’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the Tokens.

Buyer has carefully reviewed, acknowledges, understands and assumes the following risks, as well as all other risks associated with the use of the Website, Products and Mobile Application (including those not discussed herein), By using the Website, Products  tokens, Buyer represents/warrants and accepts that the misuse of the website, products and mobile app can cause damaged to your surroundings and yourself. Etherland shall not be held responsible for any damages occurred while using website, products or mobile application.

Limitation of liability and indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer disclaims any right or cause of action against Etherland of any kind in any jurisdiction that would give rise to any Damages whatsoever, on the part of Etherland. Etherland shall not be liable to Buyer for any type of damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary (including damages for lost profits, goodwill, use or data), even if and notwithstanding the extent to which Etherland has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Buyer agrees not to seek any refund, compensation or reimbursement from DAO, regardless of the reason, and regardless of whether the reason is identified in this Agreement.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the aggregate liability of Etherland, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), or other theory, for damages of any kind under this Agreement exceed the amount received by Etherland from Buyer.

Etherland shall not be liable and disclaims all liability to Buyer in connection with any force majeure event, including acts of God, labour disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical, telecommunications, hardware, software or other utility failures, software or smart contract bugs or weaknesses, earthquakes, storms, or other nature-related events, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism or war, technological change, changes in interest rates or other monetary conditions, and, for the avoidance of doubt, changes to any blockchain-related protocol.

If an event of force majeure occurs, the party injured hereto by the other’s inability to perform may elect to suspend this Agreement, in whole or part, for the duration of the force majeure circumstances. The party hereto experiencing the force majeure circumstances shall cooperate with and assist the injured party in all reasonable ways to minimize the impact of force majeure on the injured party.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer releases the DAO from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between Buyer and the acts or omissions of third parties.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless and reimburse DAO from and against any and all actions, proceedings, claims, damages, demands and actions (including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel), incurred by Etherland arising from or relating to:

  • Buyer’s purchase or use of LAND ID tokens;

  • Buyer’s responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement;

  • Buyer’s breach of or violation of this Agreement;

  • any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer;

  • Buyer’s violation of any rights of any other person or entity; and/or

  • any act or omission of Buyer that is negligent, unlawful or constitutes a wilful misconduct.

Etherland DAO reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defence, at Buyer’s expense, of any claim subject to indemnification under this section. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between Buyer and DAO.

Any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement is personal to Buyer and DAO and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempt to resolve a dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.

The Products

Audit of the Smart Contract System 

The smart contract has been audited by experts and does not contain vulnerabilities or bugs according to tests. Technical experts have approved and confirmed the quality and security of the code. The Owner and User acknowledge that the technology is at its premises and the risk of a possible security breach is not unavoidable. In case any technical issue occurs on the Etherland smart contracts or the whole Ethereum network, Etherland will not be liable or responsible.

Decentralised exchanges

To use the Products, You can use electronic wallets that are compatible with the Non-Fungible Token Standard such as Metamask. Often You may also purchase ELAND tokens, like Ethers or other tokens in certain wallets that act like decentralised finance (DEFI) exchange. DEFI solutions are multiple and still at their early stages of development. We have integrated DEFI exchange solutions in our Products for You to use them more easily. You acknowledge that we have no control over those devices and decentralised solutions and will not be liable for any acts that You perform using those technologies. Again, You are the sole responsible for your account while using Blockchain technologies and solutions.

Blockchain enables to hide certain information from the public such as your name, contact information and so on. But every wallet address is linked to an Owner and You have to understand that the address account that you use while using Etherland’s Products will be publicly visible.

External solutions

Etherland is using third party IT, Iframes and Blockchain solutions. Etherland has no control over those technological solutions and cannot be responsible for a breach of services, modification, suspension of service or technical failure of those services. User and Owner acknowledge that issues may arise from using those technologies and that Etherland is NOT responsible for any event happening to the technological solutions used by Etherland.

Gas and Commissions

Every transaction on the Ethereum Blockchain contains a gas fee. You are responsible to thoroughly check the gas fee before you confirm a transaction. Adding to that many marketplaces, exchanges and platforms take a percentage of the amount of the transaction to cover their maintenance and business expenses. For instance, opensea.io applies a 2.5% fee on their transactions. Those fees are not in our control and can be updated in time.
