The fees we charge for using our Services are listed on our Selling Fees pages. We may change our seller fees from time to time by posting the changes on the Expressions site 14 days in advance, but with no advance notice required for temporary promotions or any changes that result in the reduction of fees.

If you are a seller, you are liable for transaction fees arising out of all sales made using some or all of our Services, even if sales terms are finalized or payment is made outside of Expressions. In particular, if you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of Expressions, you may be liable to pay a final value fee applicable to that item, even if the item doesn’t sell, given your usage of our Services for the introduction to a buyer.

Expressions does not have an obligation to collect sales taxes on sales you make using our Services; therefore, it is the responsibility of you as the seller to collect such sales taxes and import or export duties as applicable for each transaction.

Seller fees don’t purchase exclusive rights to item exposure on our Services. We may display third-party advertisements (including links and references thereto) or other content in any part of our Services, in our sole discretion and without consent from, or payment, fee reduction, or other credit to, sellers.

When listing an item for sale on our Services, you agree to comply with the following Listing policies and Selling practices policy and that:

• You assume full responsibility for the item offered and the accuracy and content of the listing,
• Your listing may not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours (or up to 24 hours in some circumstances). Expressions can’t guarantee exact listing duration,
• Your fixed-price listings may renew automatically every calendar month, based on the listing terms at the time, until all quantities sell or the listing is ended by you or Expressions, in its sole discretion,
• Content that violates any of Expressions’s policies may be modified, obfuscated or deleted at Expressions’s sole discretion,
• We may revise product data associated with listings to supplement, remove, or correct information,
• We strive to create a marketplace where buyers find what they are looking for. Therefore, the appearance or placement of listings in search and browse results will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
• buyer’s location, search query, browsing site, and history;
• item’s location, listing format, price and shipping cost, terms of service, end time, history, and relevance to the user query;
• seller’s history, including listing practices, Detailed Seller Ratings, Expressions policy compliance, Feedback, and defect rate; and
• number of listings matching the buyer’s query,
• To drive a positive user experience, a listing may not appear in some search and browse results regardless of the sort order chosen by the buyer,
• Some advanced listing upgrades will only be visible on some of our Services,
• Metatags and URL links that are included in a listing may be removed or altered so as to not affect third-party search engine results,

‍Transactions that take place on the Service are managed and confirmed via the blockchain, including Polygon, Ethereum, and other blockchains. You understand that your blockchain public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the Service. We neither own nor control Amberfi, MetaMask, Rainbow, the Polygon network, or any other third-party site or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the Service. We 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, including transaction costs or commissions.

• You are responsible for reading the full item listing before making a bid or committing to buy,
• You enter into a legal purchase agreement to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item,
• We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer,

‍All User transactions on the Service, including without limitation minting, tokenizing, bidding, listing, offering, purchasing, or confirming, are facilitated by Smart Contracts existing on the Polygon network or other blockchain networks, including Ethereum. The Polygon network requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Polygon network, and thus every transaction occurring on the Service. The value of the Gas Fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of the control of the Service. The User acknowledges that under no circumstances will a contract, agreement, offer, sale, bid, or other transaction on the Service be invalidated, revocable, retractable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable to a User. Users also acknowledge and agree that gas is non-refundable under all circumstances.

‍To initiate a transaction on the Service, a User must voluntarily invoke one or more Smart Contract operations from an Amberfi Wallet. All transactions on the Service, including but not limited to transfers, offers, bids, listings, sales, or purchases of Expressions assets are initiated through one or more Smart Contracts at the sole discretion and at the complete risk of the Users. The Smart Contracts are configured to facilitate the execution of a voluntary User offer, an acceptance of an offer, or other confirmation to purchase, sell, bid on, list, or transfer an Expressions asset. The User acknowledges the risk of Smart Contracts and agrees to be bound by the outcome of any Smart Contract operation by invoking, calling, requesting, or otherwise engaging with the Smart Contract, whether or not the Smart Contract behaves as the User expects.

Expressions marketplace transactions, including but not limited to primary sales, secondary market sales, listings, offers, bids, acceptances, and other operations through the Site utilize experimental smart contract and blockchain technology, including non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrencies, consensus algorithms, and decentralized or peer-to-peer networks and systems. Users acknowledge and agree that such technologies are experimental, speculative, and inherently risky. Users acknowledge and agree that the Service’s smart contracts may be subject to bugs, malfunctions, timing errors, hacking and theft, or changes to the protocol rules of the Polygon blockchain (i.e., “forks”), which can adversely affect the smart contracts and may expose you to a risk of a total loss, forfeiture of your digital currency or Expressions assets, or lost opportunities to buy or sell Expressions assets. Expressions assumes no liability or responsibility for any such smart contract or related failures, risks, or uncertainties.

‍Users hereby acknowledge and assume the risk of initiating, interacting with, participating in marketplace or auction transactions and take full responsibility and liability for the outcome of any transaction they initiate, whether or not the smart contracts, Expressions, the Site, or other market participants behave as expected or intended. Users hereby represent that they are knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated in using blockchain technology, the Expressions site, and in initiating Polygon-based transactions.

‍Users are forbidden from engaging in any attack, hack, denial-of-service attack, interference, or exploit of any smart contract on the Service. Operations performed by you that are technically permitted by a smart contract on the Service may nevertheless be a violation of our Terms of Service and the law.‍

‍All marketplace transactions are executed by one or more Smart Contracts processed on the Polygon blockchain and not under any direct control by Expressions. You acknowledge and agree that Expressions is not a party to any agreement or transaction between any Users involving the purchase, offer, sale, auction, or transfer of Expressions assets, whether or not a commission or fee is received by Expressions or its partners as a consequence of the transaction. Assets listed for sale on the Service are not offered on consignment or held in trust on behalf of any Creator, Collector, Owner, or User. Expressions and its partners reserve the right to execute Smart Contract transactions on the marketplace as a collector of assets available on the Service.

‍‍Users of the Service are expressly forbidden from accepting, soliciting, offering, bidding, engaging with the Smart Contracts, or otherwise transacting on or off of the Service with the intent to artificially devalue, inflate, or otherwise deceptively influence, misrepresent, or cause to be misrepresented the price an asset, groups of assets, or assets created by particular Creators.

Creators, Owners, and Collectors are expressly forbidden from bidding, purchasing, or making offers on their own listed or offered assets for the purpose of artificially influencing the price of the listed asset(s).

‍Users are generally forbidden from engaging in any deceptive conduct that may prevent competitive or fair bidding, artificially inflate or deflate the price of a work, simulate demand for work (i.e, “wash trading”), or any other anti-competitive bidding conduct.

‍Users are expressly forbidden from selling works, listing assets for auction, making bids during an auction, purchasing work, or engaging in any other marketplace transaction for the purpose of concealing economic activity, laundering money, or financing terrorism. For example, and without limitation, Users are forbidden from using the Service and any Smart Contract to conceal or transfer proceeds or assets relating to criminal activity or to pay for an asset for any other reason than to obtain the asset. You expressly represent and warrant by performing transactions involving the Service or Smart Contracts that your actions are legal under United States and international law and the jurisdiction from which they initiate the transaction.

‍You irrevocably release, acquit, and forever discharge Expressions and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, partners, and successors for and against any and all past or future causes of action, suits, or controversies arising out of another User’s violation of these Terms.

‍All works minted on the Service are subject to Expressions's set of licenses, the terms of which are described within. All Users who receive an asset on Expressions acknowledge and agree to accept or purchase the asset subject to the conditions of the chosen license.

IN NO EVENT SHALL EXPRESSIONS (OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND AFFILIATES) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, YOUR ACCESS TO, DISPLAY OF OR USE OF THIS SITE OR APPLICATION OR WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO ACCESS, DISPLAY OR USE THE SITE OR APPLICATION INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR RELIANCE UPON REVIEWS AND OPINIONS APPEARING ON THE SITE; ANY COMPUTER VIRUSES, INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, LINKED SITES, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITE OR APPLICATION; OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE ACCESS TO, DISPLAY OF OR USE OF THE SITE OR APPLICATION, WHETHER BASED ON A THEORY OF NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF EXPRESSIONS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

AS A USER OF THIS SITE OR APPLICATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: NEITHER EXPRESSIONS NOR ITS AFFILIATES WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS MADE USING YOUR PASSWORD OR EXPRESSIONS ACCOUNT; AND THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR PASSWORD OR EXPRESSIONS ACCOUNT COULD CAUSE YOU TO INCUR LIABILITY TO BOTH EXPRESSIONS AND OTHER USERS.

If we are found liable for any loss or damage that arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of our Site, Application or Services, then our liabilities will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the transaction fees paid to Expressions for the transaction(s) on this Site giving rise to the particular claim, or (b) One Hundred Dollars (US $100.00). The limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these terms inure to the benefit of Expressions.

Sellers can create rules to automate replacements, returns, and refunds under certain circumstances. For all new sellers, in listings where returns are accepted, Expressions will set a default rule that automates the return process. Sellers may remove or customize their return preferences in their account settings.

When an item is returned, to refund the buyer, you (as seller) authorize Expressions to request that Stripe Marketplace remove the refund amount (in same or other currency) from your merchant account, place the amount on your invoice, and/or charge your payment method on file.

The cost of return shipping for an item that is not as described is the seller’s responsibility.

You (as seller) authorize Expressions to place the return shipping label cost on your invoice, subject to your automatic payment method on file when:

• An Expressions-generated return shipping label is used, and the seller is responsible for its cost; Returns have been automated;
• You fail to send your buyer a return shipping label and, instead, an Expressions-generated shipping label is used; and/or
• A transaction is cancelled, and to refund the buyer, you (as seller) authorize Expressions to request that Stripe Marketplace remove the refund amount (in same or other currency) from your merchant account.

THE VALUE OF NFTS ARE SUBJECTIVE, HAVE NO INHERENT VALUE AND THEREFORE CAN BE VOLATILE. YOU AGREE TO ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE AND VALUE OF THE NFT AND THE WORK. NFTS MADE AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON THE SERVICE ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED, INVESTMENT VEHICLES.

‍YOU FURTHER REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE POLYGON AND OTHER BLOCKCHAINS, NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS (NFTS), AND THE INTERPLANETARY FILE SYSTEM (IPFS). WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSSES YOU INCUR AS THE RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE POLYGON BLOCKCHAIN, THE POLYGON NETWORK, THE AMBERFI WALLET, THE METAMASK WALLET, OR OTHER BLOCKCHAIN-RELATED NETWORKS AND WALLETS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (A) USER ERROR, SUCH AS FORGOTTEN SEED PHRASE OR PASSWORDS OR INCORRECTLY CONSTRUED SMART CONTRACTS OR OTHER TRANSACTIONS; (B) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (C) CORRUPTED WALLET FILES; (D) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR ACTIVITIES BY THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OF VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTE-FORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK AGAINST THE SERVICE, POLYGON OR POLYGON NETWORKS, THE AMBERFI OR METAMASK DIGITAL WALLETS OR BLOCKCHAIN-COMPATIBLE BROWSER OR WALLET.

SERVICE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES DUE TO BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF THE POLYGON NETWORK OR THE AMBERFI OR METAMASK DIGITAL WALLET OR ANY BLOCKCHAIN-COMPATIBLE BROWSER OR WALLET, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LATE REPORTS BY DEVELOPERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (OR NO REPORT AT ALL) OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE BLOCKCHAIN SUPPORTING THE NETWORK, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES HAVING FUND LOSSES AS A RESULT.

‍The prices of NFTs are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your purchases, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Expressions ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of NFTs. The Service, Service, and digital assets could be impacted by regulatory inquiries, regulatory actions, or legislative policies that could impede or limit the ability of Expressions or its partners to continue to develop the Service, or that could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Service. Assets on the Service may be encumbered by actual or possible copyright or trademark claims against the asset.

‍Use of the Service, including the creating, buying, or selling trading digital assets, may carry financial risk. Digital assets are, by their nature, highly experimental, risky, volatile and transactions carried through the Service are irreversible, final, and there are no refunds. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the Service at your own risk. The risk of loss in trading digital assets can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether creating, buying, or selling digital assets is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. By using the Service, you represent that you have been, are, and will be solely responsible for making your own independent appraisal and investigations into the risks of a given transaction and the underlying digital assets. You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted via the Service or any underlying digital asset. You accept all consequences of using the Service, including the risk that you may lose access to your digital assets indefinitely. All transaction decisions are made solely by you. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, we accept no responsibility whatsoever for and will in no circumstances be liable to you in connection with the use of the Service for performing digital asset transactions. Under no circumstances will the operation of all or any portion of the Service be deemed to create a relationship that includes the provision or tendering of investment advice.

If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our affiliates and subsidiaries, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release, you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

You will indemnify and hold us (including our affiliates and subsidiaries, as well as our and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents) harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this User Agreement, your improper use of our Services or your breach of any law or the rights of a third party.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND EXPRESSIONS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

In this Legal Disputes Section, the term “related third parties” includes your and Expressions’s respective affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, predecessors, successors, assigns, as well as your, Expressions’s, and these entities‘ respective employees and agents.

You and Expressions agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen, or may arise, between you and Expressions (or any related third parties) that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of this User Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of Expressions or its agents, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Legal Disputes Section.

A. Applicable Law

You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by the laws of Panama without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this User Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Expressions, except as otherwise stated in this User Agreement.

B. Severability

If a court of law decides that any part of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement shall still apply.

C. Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes

For any dispute you have with Expressions, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally and amicably. If Expressions has not been able to resolve the dispute with you informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms by binding arbitration in the jurisdiction of Panama. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with customary arbiration rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.

ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND EXPRESSIONS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

If you create or use an account on behalf of a business entity, you represent that you are authorized to act on behalf of such business and bind the business to this User Agreement. Such account is owned and controlled by the business entity. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this User Agreement.

The User Agreement and all terms and policies posted through our Services set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Expressions, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements of the parties.

No Waiver No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
