Wallet

All Digital Assets (as defined below) purchased by you on the Fanbock Platform will be maintained in a custodial Wallet linked to your account.
Fanblock Assets
8.1 Registered users will be entitled to purchase digital collectibles in the form of metafield blocks (“Fanblocks”). A Fanblock is a square yard block of the relevant club or team home ground in the metaverse to be purchased by the user, which provides the user an entry point to an integrated fan-engagement ecosystem building value through both real-world and virtual assets on Web 3 technology. The Fanblocks will dynamically represent what is happening on the corresponding portion of the field. Field-of-play activities that correspond to the Fanblock, together with engagement activities undertaken by the user on the Fanblock Platform, will give rise to points that may entitle the user to additional Fanblock benefits.
8.2 Digital Assets are unique virtual assets with a non-fungible or semi-fungible token ("NFT") using Blockchain Technology and issued by the Company ("Digital Assets"). The NFT ensures the scarcity and authenticity of the Digital Assets and the transparency of the Fanblock product and services. The NFTs on the Fanblock platform are minted on the Polygon blockchain or equivalent.
8.3 The packs of Fanblocks ("Packs") are classified based on a level of scarcity specified for each issuance. For instance, a Pack may be Base, Premium, Rare or Ultra-Rare, depending on the total number of items offered. The scarcity of the Fanblocks in a Pack is guaranteed by the underlying Digital Assets/NFTs.
8.4. When you purchase a Pack or Digital Assets, you become the definitive owner of the underlying Fanblock NFT, in accordance with these Terms & Conditions. Except where otherwise explicitly stated to the contrary, you have the right to freely dispose of your Fanblocks (via sale in the designated Fanblock marketplace).
8.5 The Fanblock NFT will contain Content ("NFT Content"). This may include third-party patent rights, image rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how or any other intellectual property rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction in the world ("Third-Party Rights").
a) For clarity, all right, title, and interest in the NFT Content (including all copyrights, trademark rights, and all other intellectual property rights or Third Party Rights) are owned by the Company, the relevant club or third party, as applicable, and in the case of a club or third party, have been licensed to the Company.
b) Subject to compliance with these Terms & Conditions, you are hereby granted, on a non-exclusive basis, a worldwide licence to use, display and transfer the NFT Content associated with the Fanblock that you legitimately own for the period that you own the relevant NFT(s). For the avoidance of doubt, you are only authorized to use, display, and transfer the NFT Content as part of the use, display, and transfer (as applicable) of the Fanblock embedding such NFT Content. Any other use, display or transfer of the NFT Content is strictly prohibited.
c) You may not, under any circumstances and without the Company’s prior written consent, carry out or attempt to carry out any of the following to the Fanblocks, whether or not owned by you: (i) use the Fanblock and any of the Third-Party Features for the advertising or promotion of a third-party product or service; (ii) market merchandise, physical or digital, that represents the purchased Pack or Fanblock; (iii) alter the NFT Content associated with the Pack or Fanblock, and/or alter, edit or modify the NFT Content in any other way; (iv) attempt to claim any additional intellectual property rights relating to the Fanblock or the NFT Content; (v) violate any applicable Third-Party Right; and/or (vii) use the NFT Content and/or the Fanblock in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech, defamation or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others, including the image right(s) of any featured player.

8.7 Transfer and Exchange of the Packs or Fanblocks
The secondary transfer and/or exchange of Packs or Fanblocks shall only be permitted on the Fanblock marketplace. The secondary transfer and/or exchange of Packs or Fanblocks is not a transaction to which the Company is a party.
