Welcome to Idition accessible at https://idition.com (together with the Idition app, the “Platform”), which is owned and operated by Vine Digital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vine Digital” “we,” “us”, or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and Vine Digital and set out the terms for your access to and use of the Platform (however accessed, whether via web, mobile or otherwise) and the limited services made available through the Platform as described herein; including without limitation using our services to redeem, view and custody a Vine Digital Idition (as defined below) which memorializes certain purchases you make on our partner’s sites as digital collectibles and may also be composed of certain benefits as further described below (collectively the “Services”). “Idition NFT” in these Terms means a non-fungible token or similar digital item implemented on a blockchain (such as the Solana blockchain), which uses smart contracts to link to or otherwise be associated with certain content or data and is associated with an Idition.
For purposes of these Terms, “user”, “you”, and “your” means you as the user of the Services.
By accessing the Platform and/or Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, any other terms incorporated by reference herein, and the Vine Digital privacy policy, and you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you are a resident of the United States; (c) you have not been previously suspended or removed from the Platform or the Services; and (iii) your use of the Platform and the Services is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not access or use the services.
ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 15 BELOW, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND VINE DIGITAL WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
Vine Digital reserves the right to change or modify these Terms of Use at any time and in our sole discretion. You agree and understand that by logging into your account, accessing or using the Services following any change to these Terms of Use, you agree to the revised Terms of Use and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference. We encourage you to review the Terms of Use from time to time to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Services. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such changes, such as by providing notice through the Platform or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms.
Our Services include hosting and maintaining the Platform which allows you to redeem an “Idition” using the redemption code you obtained on our clients’ websites and/or apps in connection with certain product(s) (“Client Sites”), with each Idition composed of a numbered digital collector’s certificate (“Certificate”) and minted as an Idition NFT. In addition, Iditions may also include certain other components as further specified in the applicable Idition Item Details (as defined below), such as a digital artwork or other Content (as defined below), a voucher or discount code, or ticket to an event (collectively, and together with the Certificate, the “Idition Components”).
Idition Item Details. Descriptions of each Idition (“Idition Item Details”) may be made available on the Platform and/or our Client’s Site in respect of the specific Idition, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms. You are responsible for reviewing such Idition Item Details.
Redemption Code. An Idition will be made available to you and minted as an Idition NFT for you upon submission of a valid redemption code that you have purchased or obtained on a Partner’s Site (“Redemption Code”) (you will be entitled to only one (1) Idition per Redemption Code, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Idition Item Details).
Redemption Code Validity. Redemption Codes are only valid for three (3) years from the date of creation (“Expiry Date”). A Redemption Code will be invalid after the applicable Expiry Date has passed. You therefore agree and acknowledge that you must redeem your Idition using the applicable Redemption Code prior to such Redemption Code’s Expiry Date.
Access to and transfer of Idition Components. You acknowledge and agree that:
General: In connection with your redemption of an Idition and use of the Services, you acknowledge and agree that:
You will need to create an account with Vine Digital to use certain of the Services, for example to redeem an Idition and access Idition Components (an “Account”). We require all users to be at least 18 years old and resident in the United States. If you are at least 13 years old but under 18 years old, you may only use Vine Digital through a parent or guardian’s account and with their approval and oversight. That account holder is responsible for your actions using the account. It is prohibited to use our Services if you are under 13 years old.
When you create an account, we will ask you for some information about yourself, including your name and email address. We may also require additional information and/or documents. If you do not provide complete and accurate information and/or documents in response to such a request, we may refuse to provide you with the Services.
When registering, you will be asked to create a username. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for any and all statements made and acts or omissions that occur through the use of your account. Our personnel will never ask you for your password. You may not transfer or share your account with anyone, and we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account in the event of any unauthorized transfer or sharing of your account. You agree to notify us immediately if your account has been compromised.
Transactions; Wallets: All transactions, including the minting of an Idition NFT, made through the Services are managed and confirmed on the Solana blockchain or other blockchains as we may support (“Blockchain”). We may from time-to-time support a third-party electronic wallet, for example Metamask (provided by ConsenSys Software Inc.) or other electronic wallet-provider, which allows you to engage in transactions on blockchains (“Wallet Provider”). If this option is available, by using your wallet from a Wallet Provider in connection with the Services, you agree that you are using that wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable Wallet Provider.
Third-Party Marketplace: You may be able to sell or purchase Idition NFTs on third-party marketplaces (“Third-Party Marketplace”) and you may be required to set up an account with such Third-Party Marketplace in order to be able to store, trade and/or sell your Idition NFT.
Third-Party Vendors’ Terms of Service. By using the Services to do any of the foregoing, you agree to the terms of service, and, where applicable, the privacy policies of any such third-party vendors, including without limitation our Client Sites, Wallet Providers, and Third-Party Marketplaces (collectively, “Third-Party Vendors”). Except as expressly set forth herein, those Third-Party Vendor terms govern the transaction that is effectuated on the Ethereum blockchain when you purchase any Idition NFT on a Third-Party Marketplace, including any related decentralized technologies (e.g., Solana), websites, services, tools, applications, smart contracts, and APIs which are provided by such Third-Party Vendors.
You hereby expressly grant Vine Digital the right, power, and authority to transmit your information to such Third-Party Vendors as reasonably necessary for Vine Digital to provide the Services to you. Vine Digital has no affiliation with any Third-Party Vendors. Because Vine Digital has no control over Third-Party Vendors, or their websites or mobile applications, you acknowledge and agree Vine Digital is not responsible for the availability of such external websites, mobile applications or resources accessible from those Third-Party Vendors, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, services, or other materials available from such websites or mobile applications.
Because we have a growing number of services, we sometimes need to provide additional terms for specific services (and such services are deemed part of the “Services” hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms). Those additional terms and conditions, which are available with the relevant service, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any additional applicable terms we may provide for a specific service, such additional terms shall control for that specific service.
If you are using our Services solely through, or your account is linked to a Third-Party Wallet, neither Vine Digital or the Platform are custodians of the contents of your wallet, your NFTs held in such wallet, cryptocurrency or other funds, and you acknowledge that the operation of the Platform does not give Vine Digital or the Platform custody, possession, title or control of or to your NFTs, cryptocurrency or other funds.
We offer an option for us to hold your NFTs. If you choose this option for us, we will hold such NFTs to support and help facilitate transactions involving your NFTs. For clarity, in doing so neither we nor the Platform are custodians of the contents of any third-party wallets, non-Idition NFTs you may own, cryptocurrency or other funds. Further, to the extent it does so, Vine Digital (i) takes no ownership or title to your NFTs, cryptocurrency or other funds; and (ii) to the extent permitted by law, shall not have any liability to, and shall be held harmless by, you for any losses, damages, claims, or liabilities of any kind to the extent arising out of the holding of such NFTs, cryptocurrency or other funds. You will be able to transfer your NFTs held by Vine Digital to a third party wallet at any time.

By using the Services and/or posting sale information, you agree not to:
Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability. You agree that we may at any time, and at our sole discretion, terminate your access to the Platform without prior notice to you for violating any of the above provisions. In addition, you acknowledge that we will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in investigating suspected criminal violations.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including legal expenses such as attorney’s fees, that arise from your use or misuse of the Platform and/or the Services or breach of this Agreement. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.
THIS INDEMNITY IS IN ADDITION TO, AND NOT IN LIEU OF, ANY OTHER INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND VINE DIGITAL.
WE PROVIDE THESE SERVICES ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMITTED, AND AS SET FORTH IN THE NFT AGREEMENTS AND THE SPA, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ALL KINDS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT OUR SERVICES AND MATERIALS WILL (A) MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (B) BE SAFE, SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, ACCURATE OR ERROR-FREE, (C) THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM OUR PLATFORM WILL BE EFFECTIVE, ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR (D) THAT THE INFORMATION OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR BE FREE FROM MISTAKES, ERRORS OR DEFECTS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties in contracts with consumers, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
You agree that the Idition NFTs are not and shall not be based upon or redeemable for any tangible or physical item, fractionalized, or capable of use as a coupon, investment, security or other financial instrument or knowingly marketed in any other manner that would cause transactions to be governed by any applicable securities laws, including but not limited to the Securities Act of 1933, and are not convertible virtual currencies.
Assumption of Risks: You acknowledge and agree that the characterization and regulatory scheme governing NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology is uncertain and continually evolving, and is accompanied by inherent risks, including risks related to faulty or insufficient hardware, software, or internet connections; introduction or intrusion of malicious code or software; hacking or unauthorized access to your digital wallet or information stored therein, or of theft or diversion of funds therefrom; volatility and unstable or unfavorable exchange rates; and the risk of unfavorable regulatory intervention and/or tax treatment in relation to transaction in cryptocurrency. You further acknowledge and agree that digital assets are highly experimental, risky, and volatile, and your use of the Platform and Services to purchase digital assets may carry substantial financial risk, including the risk of loss in trading digital assets. By using the Platform or Services, you represent that you have sufficient knowledge, sophistication, and experience with respect to NFTs, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology, to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted via the Platform or Services or any digital asset associated with such transaction. Under no circumstances will the operation of all or any portion of the Platform or Services by Vine Digital be deemed to create a relationship that includes the provision or tendering of investment advice.
