Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the MintVault platform ("Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform. MintVault reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of any modifications.

2. Platform Description

MintVault is a non-custodial NFT marketplace that facilitates the buying and selling of non-fungible tokens ("NFTs") on supported blockchain networks. The Platform provides an interface for users to discover, purchase, and interact with NFTs. MintVault does not take custody of any digital assets or cryptocurrencies at any time.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements to use this Platform. By using MintVault, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements and that your use complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

4. Blockchain Transactions

All transactions on MintVault are executed on public blockchain networks. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Blockchain transactions are irreversible once confirmed on the network.
• MintVault has no ability to reverse, cancel, or modify any transaction after it has been broadcast to the blockchain.
• You are solely responsible for verifying all transaction details before confirming any purchase or transfer.
• Gas fees, network fees, and payment processing fees are non-refundable under any circumstances.
• Transaction finality is determined by the underlying blockchain protocol, not by MintVault.

5. Payments and Pricing

MintVault supports payments via credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA bank transfers, and cryptocurrency through our payment processing partners. All prices are displayed in the applicable currency at the time of purchase. Cryptocurrency prices are subject to market volatility, and the final amount charged may differ from the displayed estimate. Payment processing is handled by third-party providers, and their terms of service apply in addition to these Terms.

6. No Refund Policy

All sales are final. Due to the nature of blockchain technology, transactions cannot be reversed once confirmed. MintVault does not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges for any NFT purchases. This applies to all payment methods, including credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, and cryptocurrency payments. For complete details, please review our Refund Policy.

7. Intellectual Property

Purchasing an NFT does not grant you ownership of the underlying intellectual property, artwork, or content associated with the NFT unless explicitly stated by the creator. Ownership of an NFT grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to display the associated content for personal, non-commercial use, unless the creator specifies broader rights.

Users must not upload, mint, or list NFTs that infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. MintVault reserves the right to remove any content that violates intellectual property laws. For IP infringement reports, see our DMCA & Takedown Policy.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
• Upload or list content that infringes on third-party intellectual property rights.
• Engage in market manipulation, wash trading, or fraudulent activity.
• Attempt to interfere with the Platform's infrastructure or security.
• Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or otherwise extract data from the Platform without permission.
• Create or list NFTs containing illegal, harmful, or offensive content.
• Circumvent any access restrictions or security measures.

9. Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge that NFTs and blockchain technology involve significant risks, including but not limited to: price volatility, regulatory uncertainty, smart contract vulnerabilities, network congestion, and the potential for total loss of value. You assume full responsibility for evaluating these risks before making any purchase or transaction on the Platform.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. MintVault disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. MintVault does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defects will be corrected.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, MintVault shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or digital assets, arising from your use of the Platform. MintVault's total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to MintVault in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MintVault, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

13. Termination
