📜Terms of Services
ATEM BLOCKCHAIN METAHORSE Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (Terms) form a contract between ATEM BLOCKCHAIN (ATEM BLOCKCHAIN, us, we) and the METAHORSE user (Users, you), which you must accept to use any part of METAHORSE.
METAHORSE is a distributed application that runs on the Binance Smart Chain, using uniquely developed smart contracts (Smart Contracts) to enable users to purchase, sell, breed and race statistically unique digital thoroughbreds, which can then be visualized on a website that the user can interact and earn BNB from METAHORSE (METAHORSE).
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING METAHORSE, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE WEBSITE. THESE TERMS GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE WEBSITE, UNLESS WE HAVE EXECUTED A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOU FOR THAT PURPOSE. WE ARE ONLY WILLING TO MAKE METAHORSE, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE WEBSITE AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS. BY USING METAHORSE, THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE WEBSITE, OR ANY PART OF THEM, OR PURCHASING AN NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN (NFT), YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING ANY AMENDED TERMS. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON THAT ENTITY’S BEHALF, IN WHICH CASE “YOU” WILL MEAN THAT ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN WE ARE UNWILLING TO MAKE METAHORSE, THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE WEBSITE, OR AN NFT, AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE METAHORSE, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE WEBSITE.
USING METAHORSE
Restrictions
METAHORSE is only available to users over the age of 18. You must not create an account if you are under the age of 18.
You must not, under any circumstances:
use exploits, automation software, bots, mods, or any unauthorized third-party software designed to modify or interfere with the METAHORSE service, any METAHORSE game, any METAHORSE smart contract, any METAHORSE NFT, or any METAHORSE game experience or without ATEM BLOCKCHAIN's express written consent, modify or cause to be modified any files that are a part of the service or any METAHORSE platform or game.
disrupt, or assist to disrupt, any computer, network or server used to provide the METAHORSE service or game environment.
obtain, or attempt to gain, unauthorized access to the METAHORSE service or to any account of another METAHORSE user.
You agree that you will not use a name for any NFT or user that is likely to be offensive, derogatory, prejudicial, inflammatory or inappropriate for use in the METAHORSE community. ATEM BLOCKCHAIN reserves the right upon to cancel the name of any NFT or user which ATEM BLOCKCHAIN determines in its absolute discretion to be offensive, derogatory, prejudicial, inflammatory or inappropriate for use in the METAHORSE by giving the NFT owner or user written notice (which may provided after the name has been cancelled). Where such a determination is made, the NFT name or user name will be changed to a generic name and the NFT owner or account registrant will be able to choose a new name. You agree that the determination of ATEM BLOCKCHAIN is final and not reviewable, and that repeated breaches of this clause may result in suspension of the user’s account or the ability for the NFT to participate in METAHORSE and/or the termination of the License issued under clause 23.b.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate a User account for breach of these Terms of Service by the User or fraudulent, harmful, criminal or unfair behavior of a User, to include:
we suspect the User of committing fraud in connection with these Terms;
the User engaging in suspicious transactions;
if we suspect the User has used, is using, or will use confidential information of ATEM BLOCKCHAIN in any manner not authorized by ATEM BLOCKCHAIN.
the User does not comply with some or all of these Terms;
The User’s account login and password are in the possession of a third party.
METAHORSE is not available in every region. We reserve the right to restrict or block access to our services based on the User's location.
METAHORSE has utilized Smart Contracts to develop the METAHORSE racehorses. METAHORSE will release a certain number of METAHORSE racehorses into the marketplace and make them available for purchase to the public at the Company’s discretion. METAHORSE will release 38,000 racehorses and will never, ever release any more thoroughbreds. As described below, the racehorses may breed offspring.
WHEN PARTICIPANTS COMPETE IN RACES USING THEIR VIRTUAL THOROUGHBREDS, THEY ARE UTILIZING SKILL TO CHOOSE THE THOROUGHBRED, THE RACE, AND OTHER FACTORS SUCH AS THE GATE FROM WHICH THE THOROUGHBRED WILL RACE. IN OTHER WORDS, PLAYERS' ABILITIES DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF THE SKILLS-BASED COMPETITIONS. GAMES OF SKILL ARE PERMITTED IN MOST JURISDICTIONS AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE GAMBLING (WHICH GENERALLY REQUIRES A GAME OF CHANCE, PRIZE, AND CONSIDERATION TO PLAY). SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT GAMES OF SKILL WHERE PAYMENTS ARE INVOLVED. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH YOU ARE LOCATED PERMITS SKILL-BASED COMPETITIONS. WHEN YOU PARTICIPATE IN COMPETITIONS, THESE TERMS OF SERVICE SHALL APPLY.
As users breed their racehorses, new racehorses (offspring) METAHORSE genotypes will be created. Using METAHORSE'S proprietary algorithm, each thoroughbred created from breeding will have a unique profile value. Each offspring will carry over certain characteristics from its mother (mare) and its father (stallion) such as its bloodline, breed type and genotype.
How you breed your thoroughbreds is entirely up to each user. The only restrictions that we place are that female (mare/filly) and male (stallion/colt) racehorses must mate together. In addition, male-to-male racehorses and female-to-female thoroughbreds cannot breed together and racehorses cannot breed with brothers, sisters, parents or grandparents.
The gender outcome of each offspring is generated according to a pre-determined sequence and the offspring will always be owned by the female racehorse once the breeding transaction is complete.
METAHORSE will only recognize you as a user and you will only be able to interact with METAHORSE , if your Binance electronic digital wallet is connected and unlocked through your Binance account or your email address. There is no other way to sign up as a user, or to interact directly with METAHORSE . BY USING OUR SERVICES YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE APPLICABLE EXTENSIONS.
You are responsible for any Internet connection and telecommunication fees and charges that you incur when accessing METAHORSE .
Transactions that take place on METAHORSE are managed and confirmed via the Binance Smart Chain, which is a proof of stake network. The main Binance blockchain is currently a proof of work network. Proof of stake networks use less energy than proof of work networks. You understand that your Binance public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on METAHORSE .
We neither own nor control Binance network, or any other third party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of METAHORSE. METAHORSE will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.
You must provide accurate and complete registration information when you create an account on METAHORSE. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete account information about yourself, and to maintain and promptly update as necessary your account information. You are responsible for the security of your account and your Binance wallet (and other wallets and email accounts).
You may not share or transfer any account. You may not disclose your password or other credentials to anyone. You agree to immediately notify METAHORSE by sending an email to us concerning any known or suspected unauthorized use(s) of your account or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure of your password. You understand and agree that you shall be liable for all activities that occur under any account created for your use, even if such activities were not committed by you. We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your password or of your account.
FEES
If you elect to purchase, sell or breed racehorses using METAHORSE , or with or from other users in METAHORSE, any financial transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the Binance network. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. With that in mind, we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the App, or using the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the Binance network.
Binance requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Binance network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized Binance network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the App.
In addition to the Gas Fee, each time you utilize a Smart Contract to conduct a transaction with another user via METAHORSE, you authorize METAHORSE to collect a commission on certain events only (a “Commission”). These events include purchasing, selling or breeding of a thoroughbred on the App. You acknowledge and agree that the Commission will be transferred directly to us through the Binance network as part of your payment.
TERMS OF SALE OF NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS
When you purchase or Procure non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for use in METAHORSE you must agree to the following terms and conditions (NFT Terms), which apply to you and any subsequent person to whom you sell the NFT(s) you purchased from us in the first instance, or to whom you otherwise transfer the NFT(s) you Procured.
Applicability of NFT Terms
All NFTs purchased or Procured by you are subject to these NFT Terms, unless otherwise agreed in writing and by purchasing, or pre-purchasing or Procuring any NFT you are agreeing to be bound by these NFT Terms.
The use of any NFTs with METAHORSE is subject to these NFT Terms together with any other terms and conditions which may apply to the use of METAHORSE including without limitation our Privacy Policy and any ancillary document relating to the License referred to in clause 23.2.
Termination of these NFT Terms for any reason will not affect any obligations which have arisen prior to termination.
Purchasing NFTs
Pre-sales of NFTs.
We may conduct pre-sales of NFTs from time to time, either as a stand-alone or with bundles, including for early access or for expansions of METAHORSE.
Orders placed for pre-purchase of NFTs are non-refundable, cannot be cancelled for change of mind, and require payment of the Purchase Price at the time of the pre-purchase.
We may require that you register an account with us to pre-purchase an NFT.
We may require that you nominate your Digital Wallet at the time of the order, or nominate a Digital Wallet at a later time, for delivery of any pre-purchased NFT.
We will undertake reasonable endeavours to deliver any pre-purchased NFTs to your nominated Digital Wallet by any date we provide for delivery. You acknowledge, however, that the delivery date may change for reasons (including for reasons outside or within our control) at our sole discretion.
Sales of NFTs
We may list NFTs for sale from time to time, which may be stand-alone or as part of a bundle of other digital goods.
Orders placed for NFTs are non-refundable, cannot be cancelled for change of mind, require payment in full of the Purchase Price at the time of purchase and may require that you connect or provide a Digital Wallet for delivery of the NFT at the time of sale.
If you engage in a secondary sale of your NFT to another purchaser, that transaction may involve third party platforms or Blockchain digital wallets which are not associated with us, and may be subject to transaction fees charged by that network. Should any transfer be conducted using a marketplace we provide, then fees and charges may apply to those transactions payable to us at the time of the transaction.
Pre-conditions to sale
You must make payment in full in any nominated Digital Currency or via any other nominated payment method as a pre-condition to any purchase of an NFT.
In the case of a primary sale, we will have no obligation to transfer any NFT to you until we have received the Purchase Price in full for any NFT. If you make payment to our Digital Wallet, you must ensure your transfer is made to the correct wallet address.
In the event that any payment is reversed or becomes invalid, including via either a double spend attack or recall or refund request by a payment processor, you agree to immediately return to us any NFTs the subject of a sale where the Purchase Price has no longer been retained in full by us.
Title and Risk
Risk and title in any NFT purchase transfers to you upon purchase of the NFT and you are responsible for ensuring your Digital Wallet is accurately linked. If you lose your private key or login or seed phrase for your Digital Wallet you will lose access to your NFTs stored in your Digital Wallet.
Refunds - Risk in value of Digital Currency
Where the Purchase Price has been paid in a Digital Currency and you are entitled to a refund for any reason, you agree the refund is to be made in the same form of Digital Currency used in the initial transaction, or at our option in Australian dollars equivalent to the value of the Digital Currency used in the initial transaction on the date the Purchase Price was paid.
Gameplay
NFTs purchased or Procured by you may be used for gameplay in METAHORSE, which may provide additional features and services.
Gameplay in METAHORSE may be subject to further instructions, restrictions, terms and conditions as detailed in these Terms, METAHORSE or on the Website, including in respect of our stud and breeding programs and racing game.

modify any Art; or
use the Art to market or to sell third-party products or for any other commercial benefit; or
use the Art in connection with images of hatred, violence or other inappropriate behaviour be reasonably considered to bring the Intellectual Property Rights owner into disrepute; or

the Licence granted under this clause is limited to the time you Own the NFT and upon your sale of the NFT to another party the Licence is assigned to the purchaser of the NFT and your rights under the Licence cease to have any effect, and you must draw to the other party’s attention the contents of these NFT Terms prior to your sale of the NFT;
the sale of your NFT does not constitute a “commercial use” of your NFT for the purposes of these NFT Terms.
Termination
