Terms of Service

• Registration: To use certain features of the Platform, you must create an account and provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information.
• Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities conducted through your account.
• Account Termination: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms.

Prohibited Content: You may not create, upload, list, mint, or share any NFTs, collection metadata, profile images, or other content that is:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or any sexualized depiction of minors. We report apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and any applicable local authority as required by law (e.g. 18 U.S.C. § 2258A), and we preserve related evidence as legally required.
• Non-consensual intimate imagery, including deepfake or AI-generated sexual content of an identifiable person without their consent.
• Content that depicts, promotes, glorifies, or incites real-world violence, terrorism, human trafficking, or self-harm.
• Content infringing on intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, or patents, including unauthorised copies and plagiarised art.
• Content used to perpetrate fraud, scams, phishing, or impersonation.
• Hate speech or content targeting a person or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or serious disease.
• Vulgar, obscene, or sexually explicit content that is not appropriately labelled.
• Content in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Content Removal: We reserve the right to remove, delist, or otherwise make unavailable any content, including NFTs and collections, that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or is otherwise inappropriate, at our sole discretion and without prior notice. Because NFTs exist on a public blockchain, removal from the Platform does not and cannot remove the underlying on-chain token.

User Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the content you create, upload, mint, list, or share on the Platform, including ensuring it complies with these Terms and all applicable laws.

• Ownership and Licensing: When you purchase an NFT, you acquire ownership of the digital token, not the underlying artwork or intellectual property, unless explicitly stated by the creator. The creator retains all intellectual property rights unless a separate agreement specifies otherwise.
• Fees: You are responsible for any transaction fees, including blockchain gas fees, associated with buying, selling, or trading NFTs on the Platform.
• No Guarantees: We do not guarantee the authenticity, uniqueness, or value of any NFT listed on the Platform. Buyers are responsible for conducting due diligence before making a purchase.

You agree to use the Platform in a manner that is lawful, ethical, and in accordance with these Terms. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Engaging in fraudulent or deceptive practices.
• Attempting to hack, disrupt, or interfere with the Platform’s functionality.
• Using the Platform to promote or distribute illegal or harmful content.

• Platform Content: All content provided by the Platform, including text, logos, and design, is owned by ArtVybe Marketplace or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
• User-Generated Content: By uploading content to the Platform, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content solely for the purpose of operating and promoting the Platform.

We operate a moderation programme combining proactive review, user reports, and automated checks. Content that violates these Terms, including content deemed vulgar, obscene, infringing, illegal, scam-related, or otherwise inappropriate, will be removed at our sole discretion.

When a collection is removed from the marketplace, we may:

• Delist it from every listing surface (home, discover, search, profile pages).
• Hide every NFT in the collection from marketplace grids and item pages.
• Block re-import of the same contract address.
• Suspend or terminate the associated creator account.
• Retain an internal audit record of the removal (action, actor, timestamp, reason) for defensibility and legal compliance.

Removal from the Platform does not affect the existence of the NFT on the underlying blockchain. We cannot delete on-chain tokens; we can only stop displaying or facilitating trade of them on this Platform.

Every collection and NFT on the Platform has a “Report” control. Any registered user may report content they reasonably believe violates these Terms. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team in the order they are received, with illegal content categories (e.g. CSAM, terror, non-consensual intimate imagery) prioritised ahead of all others.

When filing a report, please:

• Pick the most accurate reason category.
• Provide concise, factual context (links, screenshots, what you saw and where).
• Avoid duplicating reports for the same item, additional duplicates may be rate-limited.

False or malicious reports: Submitting reports in bad faith, in coordinated campaigns, or to harass another user may result in your reports being deprioritised, restrictions on your reporting privileges, or account suspension. We do not disclose the identity of reporters to reported parties; we may share report data with law enforcement under legal process.

Copyright (DMCA): If you believe content on the Platform infringes a copyright you own, you may submit a written notice that includes (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work; (iii) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and sufficient information for us to locate it (collection address, chain, and token id); (iv) your contact information; (v) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorised; and (vi) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf. Send notices via the in-product report flow with reason “Copyright / trademark infringement” or to the contact channel published on our website. We may, in our discretion, remove the reported content while we review and may forward your notice to the alleged infringer.

Counter-notice: If your content was removed and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the same contact channel with equivalent information and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed by mistake.

Repeat infringers: Accounts that are the subject of multiple sustained infringement reports may be terminated.

Illegal content reporting obligations: Apparent CSAM is reported to NCMEC and law enforcement as legally required. We may preserve relevant data (without disclosing it publicly) to comply with legal hold requests, court orders, or regulatory obligations.
