Game of Silks, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”) is making the Silks derivative gaming platform (the “Platform”) available to you. The Platform will leverage a blockchain-enabled metaverse to parallel the real world of thoroughbred horse racing and is powered by a play-to-earn (P2E) gaming economy allowing players to reap tokens through gameplay and contributions to the ecosystem. By signing up for an account on the site, connecting your cryptocurrency wallet (e.g. MetaMask) to the site, or otherwise using or accessing the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms and Conditions of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference herein (collectively, these “Terms”).
BY (I) USING THE PLATFORM OR ANY PART OF IT, (II) BUYING, SELLING OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRING OR TRANSFERRING A COLLECTIBLE (AS DEFINED BELOW) YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS.
Any changes to these Terms will be in effect as of the “Last Updated” date referred to at the top of this page. You should review these Terms before using the Platform or purchasing any product or using any services that are available through this Platform.
Your continued use of this Platform after the “Last Updated” date will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.
By using this Platform, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into these Terms, and you accept and are bound by these Terms. You affirm that if you are using this Platform on behalf of an organization or company, you have the legal authority to bind any such organization or company to these Terms.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION PROVISION (SEE SECTION 15). PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY, SINCE IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. BY USING THE PLATFORM OR ANY PART OF IT, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION PROVISION.
You may not use this Platform if you: (i) do not agree to these Terms; (ii) are not of the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence; or (iii) are prohibited from accessing or using this Platform or any of this Platform’s contents, products or services by applicable law.
1. USE OF THE PLATFORM; SECURITY
(i) Wallet Set-Up. To most easily use the Platform, you should first install a web browser (such as the Google Chrome web browser). You will also need to use a supported electronic wallet (e.g., MetaMask), which will enable you to purchase and store collectibles that you collect or purchase via the Platform. Each collectible is a non-fungible token (an “NFT”) on the Ethereum blockchain.
(ii) Security. You are responsible for the security of your electronic wallets.
(iii) Transactions. You can use your electronic wallet to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using one or more cryptocurrencies that we may elect to accept from time to time. Transactions that take place on the Platform are managed and confirmed via the Ethereum blockchain. You understand that your Ethereum blockchain public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the Platform.
2. PURCHASING YOUR COLLECTIBLES
(i) Acquiring Collectibles. The Platform allows you to purchase, earn, collect and showcase digital assets that represent or relate to the Silks metaverse (each, a “Collectible”).
(ii) Purchasing Collectibles. You can purchase Collectibles (a) by buying Collectibles from us on the Platform; or (b) by buying Collectibles from other Collectible owners outside of the Platform. If you decide to purchase Collectibles outside of the Platform, you understand that such purchases will be entirely at your sole risk.
(iii) Characteristics of Collectibles. Each Collectible represents or relates to an aspect of the Silks metaverse.
3. PAYMENT, GAS FEES, AND TAXES
(i) Financial Transactions on Platform. Any payments or financial transactions that you engage in via the Platform will be conducted solely through the Ethereum blockchain. We have no control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any payments or transactions. We have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any payments or transactions that you engage in via the Platform, or any other payment or transactions that you conduct via the Ethereum blockchain. We do not provide refunds for any purchases that you might make on or through the Platform – whether for Collectibles or anything else.
(ii) Gas Fees. Every transaction on the Ethereum blockchain requires the payment of a transaction fee (each, a “Gas Fee”). The Gas Fees fund the network of computers that run the decentralized Ethereum blockchain. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that you instigate via the Platform. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, you will be solely responsible to pay any Gas Fee for any transaction that you instigate via the Platform.
(iii) Responsibility for Taxes. You will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, the “Taxes”) associated with your use of the Platform.
4. OWNERSHIP, LICENSE, AND OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS
YOUR OWNERSHIP OF COLLECTIBLES WILL ONLY BE RECOGNIZED BY US IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE RIGHTFULLY ACQUIRED SUCH COLLECTIBLES FROM A LEGITIMATE SOURCE AND NOT THROUGH ANY OF THE CATEGORY B PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES (AS DEFINED BELOW).
For the purposes of this Section 4, the following capitalized terms will have the following meanings:
“Own” means, with respect to a Collectible, a Collectible that you have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (and not through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities (as defined below)), where proof of such purchase is recorded on the Ethereum blockchain.
(i) Ownership of Collectible. Because each Collectible is an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain, when you purchase a Collectible in accordance with these Terms (and not through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), you own the underlying NFT. This means that you have the right to swap your Collectible, sell it, or give it away. Ownership of the Collectible is mediated entirely by the Ethereum blockchain. Except as otherwise permitted by these Terms, such as in cases where we determine that the Collectible has not been rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (including, without limitation, through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), at no point will we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Collectible.
(ii) We Own the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that we own or control all legal right, title and interest in and to all other elements of the Platform, and all intellectual property rights therein (including, without limitation, all designs, systems, methods, information, computer code, software, services, “look and feel”, organization, compilation of the content, code, data, and all other elements of the Platform (collectively, the “Platform Materials”)). You acknowledge that the Platform Materials are protected by copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and applicable laws. All Platform Materials are the copyrighted property of us, or affiliates. All trademarks, service marks, and trade names associated with the Platform or otherwise contained in the Platform Materials are proprietary to us.
(iii) No User License or Ownership of Platform Materials. Your use of the Platform does not grant you ownership of or any other rights with respect to any content, code, data, or other Platform Materials that you may access on or through the Platform. We reserve all rights in and to the Platform Materials that are not expressly granted to you in these Terms.
(iv) Further User Ownership Acknowledgements. For the sake of clarity, you understand and agree: (a) that your purchase of a Collectible, whether via the Platform or otherwise, does not give you any rights or licenses in or to the Platform Materials other than those expressly contained in these Terms; (b) that you do not have the right, except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, to reproduce, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any elements of the Platform Materials our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion; and (c) that you will not apply for, register, or otherwise use or attempt to use any of our trademarks or service marks, or any confusingly similar marks, anywhere in the world without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold at our sole and absolute discretion.
(v) User Feedback. You may choose to submit comments, bug reports, ideas or other feedback about the Platform, including without limitation about how to improve the Platform (collectively, “Feedback”). By submitting any Feedback, you agree that we are free to use such Feedback at our discretion and without additional compensation to you, and to disclose such Feedback to third parties (whether on a non-confidential basis, or otherwise). You hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license under all rights necessary for us to incorporate and use your Feedback for any purpose.

(5) otherwise involve or result in the wrongful seizure or receipt of any Collectibles or other digital assets; or

(ii) Effect of Your Breaches. If you engage in any of the Prohibited Activities, we may, at our sole and absolute discretion, without notice or liability to you, and without limiting any of our other rights or remedies at law or in equity, immediately delete your Collectibles’ images and descriptions from the Platform. If we delete your Collectibles’ images and/or descriptions from the Platform, such deletion will not affect your ownership rights in any Collectibles that you already Own, but you will not receive a refund of any amounts you paid for those Collectibles.

YOU ACCEPT THE INHERENT SECURITY RISKS OF PROVIDING INFORMATION AND DEALING ONLINE OVER THE INTERNET, AND AGREE THAT WE HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF SECURITY UNLESS IT IS DUE TO OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.
WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSSES YOU INCUR AS THE RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN, OR YOUR ELECTRONIC WALLET, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (I) USER ERROR, SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS OR INCORRECTLY CONSTRUED SMART CONTRACTS OR OTHER TRANSACTIONS; (II) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (III) CORRUPTED WALLET FILES; OR (IV) 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 PLATFORM, THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN, OR ANY ELECTRONIC WALLET.
COLLECTIBLES ARE INTANGIBLE DIGITAL ASSETS THAT EXIST ONLY BY VIRTUE OF THE OWNERSHIP RECORD MAINTAINED IN THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN. ALL SMART CONTRACTS ARE CONDUCTED AND OCCUR ON THE DECENTRALIZED LEDGER WITHIN THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN. WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER AND MAKE NO GUARANTEES OR PROMISES WITH RESPECT TO SMART CONTRACTS.
COLLECTIBLES ARE INTENDED FOR CONSUMER ENJOYMENT, USE AND CONSUMPTION ONLY. A COLLECTIBLE IS NOT A “SECURITY,” AS DEFINED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY U.S. STATE.

WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PLATFORM TO YOU WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.
9. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
(i) Value and Volatility. The prices of collectible blockchain assets are extremely volatile and subjective and collectible blockchain assets have no inherent or intrinsic value. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Collectibles, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. Each Collectible has no inherent or intrinsic value. We cannot guarantee that any Collectibles purchased will retain their original value, as the value of collectibles is inherently subjective and factors occurring outside of the Silks ecosystem may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular Collectible.
(ii) Tax Calculations. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Collectible-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the Platform.
(iii) Use of Blockchain. The Platform does not store, send, or receive Collectibles. This is because Collectibles exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Ethereum blockchain. Any transfer of Collectibles occurs within the Ethereum blockchain, and not on the Platform.
(iv) Inherent Risks with Internet Currency. There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your electronic wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Ethereum blockchain, however caused.
(v) Regulatory Uncertainty. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Silks ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of your Collectibles.
(vi) Software Risks. Upgrades to the Ethereum blockchain, a hard fork in the Ethereum blockchain, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Ethereum blockchain may have unintended, adverse effects any network on the Ethereum blockchain, including the Silks ecosystem.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to hold harmless and indemnify us and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, advertisers, suppliers or partners from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage (actual and consequential) of any kind or nature, suit, judgment, litigation cost and attorneys' fees arising out of or in any way related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your misuse of the Platform; or (iii) your violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with your access to or use of the Platform. You agree that we will have control of the defense or settlement of any such claims.
11. EXTERNAL SITES
The Platform may include hyperlinks to other websites or resources (collectively, the “External Sites”), which are provided solely as a convenience to our users. We have no control over any External Sites. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of any External Sites, and that we do not endorse any advertising, products or other materials on or made available from or through any External Sites. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred as a result of the availability or unavailability of the External Sites, or as a result of any reliance placed by you upon the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, products or other materials on, or made available from, any External Sites.
12. FORCE MAJEURE
(i) Force Majeure Events. We will not be liable or responsible to the you, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of these Terms, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)”): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics, including the 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), tsunami, explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order, law, or action; (e) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this agreement; (f) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances; (g) shortage of adequate or suitable Internet connectivity, telecommunication breakdown or shortage of adequate power or electricity; and (h) other similar events beyond our control.
(ii) Performance During Force Majeure Events. If we suffer a Force Majeure Event, we will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify you of the Force Majeure Event, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. We will use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. We will resume the performance of our obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that our failure or delay remains uncured for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days following written notice given by us under this Section 12, we may thereafter terminate these Terms upon fifteen (15) days' written notice.
13. CHANGES TO THE PLATFORM
We are constantly innovating the Platform to help provide the best possible experience. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Platform, and any part of it, may change from time to time without prior notice to you, and that we may add new features and change any part of the Platform at any time without notice.
14. CHILDREN
You affirm that you are over the age of 18. The Platform is not intended for children under 18. If you are under the age of 18, you may not use the Platform. We do not knowingly collect information from or direct any of our content specifically to children under the age of 18. If we learn or have reason to suspect that you are a user who is under the age of 18, we will unfortunately have to close your account. Other countries may have different minimum age limits, and if you are below the minimum age for providing consent for data collection in your country, you may not use the Platform.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION
IN THIS SECTION 15, YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY.
YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN ANY LAWSUIT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
(i) Binding Arbitration. All disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract, or in respect of any defined legal relationship associated therewith or derived therefrom, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (together, the “Rules”). The most recent version of the Rules is available at www.jamsadr.com/rules-download and are hereby incorporated by reference. The place of arbitration shall be in New York, New York, unless the arbitrator determines that the dispute can be resolved on the submission of written papers or you exercise your right to an in-person hearing in your hometown area.
(ii) Arbitration Fees. You and we agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and we will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by us, we will pay all JAMS fees and costs.
(iii) Award Enforcement. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that they will not appeal any arbitration decision to any court.
(iv) Additional Remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek and obtain injunctive relief in any jurisdiction in any court of competent jurisdiction, and you agree that these Terms are specifically enforceable by us through injunctive relief and other equitable remedies without proof of monetary damages.
(v) You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 15 by submitting a request at support.silks.io. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration.
(vi) If any portion of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 15 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 15; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 15 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this section will be enforceable.
16. GENERAL
(i) Entire Agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire legal agreement between you and us and will be deemed to be the final and integrated agreement between you and us, and govern your access to and use of the Platform, and completely replace any prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and us related to your access to or use of the Platform, whether oral or written.

Policies Regarding Children Under The Age of 13
Please note that this “Policies Regarding Children Under the Age of 13” section only applies to procedures when collecting information from children under the age of 13.
We recognise the obligation to protect Personal Information obtained from young children. The Services are not geared toward children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from such children other than those stated in this section. If we collect any personal information (as defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“ COPPA”), which was established by U.S. Congress to protect children’s online privacy) from children under the age of 13, we will either (1) comply with the requirements of COPPA and gain prior verifiable parental consent or direct parental notification of the nature and intended use of such information, which shall include an opportunity for the parent to prevent use of the information and participation in the activity; or (2) take all reasonable steps to promptly remove from our files and records such information. For more information about COPPA and children’s rights to online privacy, please visit the Children’s Privacy section of the Federal Trade Commission’s website at www.business.ftc.gov/privacy-and-security/childrens-privacy.
In addition, we advise that children over the age of 13 shall ask their parents for permission before transmitting any of their information to anyone over the Internet, and we suggest parents to tell their children not to provide their personal information, without permission, when using the Internet.
What types of information do we collect from children?
We mainly collect persistent identifier (such as an IP address, mobile device id, or a unique device identifier) from the child.
Please note that all sites that are directed to children under the age of 13 are prohibited by COPPA from conditioning a child’s participation in an online activity on the child’s disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.
How do we use and share the personal information collected from children?
We use the collected persistent identifier for the sole purpose of providing support for internal operations of the Service, including activities necessary for us to maintain or analyze the functioning of the Services, authenticate users or personalize content, serve contextual advertising or cap the frequency of advertising, protect the security or integrity of the user or the Service, or ensure legal or regulatory compliance.
The collected persistent identifier is not shared with other third parties. However, we may, from time to time contract with certain third party service providers to provide support for the internal operations of the Service. Your personal information is not used or disclosed by these contracted third party service providers except for the limited service for which they have been contracted.
We collect a child’s email address in connection with a question emailed to us by the child for the sole purpose of communicating with the child on a one-time-only basis (e.g. responding to a question from the child). We will not use or disclose such information to re-contact the child or for any other purpose, and such information will be deleted from our records promptly after responding to the child’s request. If we choose not to respond to the child’s request, we will immediately delete the child’s information.
How can parents review or delete personal information about their child?
At any time, parents of children under the age of 13 may review or delete personal information about their children from our records, or refuse to permit our further collection or use of such personal information. Please contact us at GOS@silks.io if you would like to review or delete your child’s personal information, or to inform us about your refusal to permit our further collection of such personal information.
Whenever a parent requests a deletion of his or her child’s personal information, we will use reasonable efforts to delete the child’s information from our records as much as possible and will not collect any other personal information from such child. Please note that there may be residual information that will remain in our records that may or may not contain the personal information that was requested to be deleted. Such residual information will not be disclosed or shared with any other third party or used for any commercial purpose.
Changes in our Privacy Policy Regarding Children Under the Age of 13?
We may amend our Privacy Policy Regarding Children Under the Age of 13 at any time. We will provide parents notice by e-mail of any material changes in the way we intend to collect, use, and/or share a child’s personal information. Please note that, at all times, parents should update their personal information to provide us current e-mail addresses. We will apply material changes in our Privacy Policy Regarding Children Under the Age of 13 only in conformance with applicable law, including any applicable provisions of COPPA that require parental consent.
