SILVER ROOM reserves the right to modify the Terms and Conditions at any time by publishing a new version of the Terms and Conditions on the Website.

SILVER ROOM will announce the dates of sale of each Drop on the Website.

The number of NFTs offered for sale during each Drop will be limited. It may vary depending to the Drops and the Partner and will be made known to the User during the Sale.

The User therefore waives any claim in the event that a desired NFT is no longer available. SILVER ROOM will endeavor to regularly update the list of NFTs sold and those still available on the Website. In the case of a Blind Sale, the list of sold NFTs can only be revealed once the Drop is fully sold out.

Except in the case of a Blind Sale, SILVER ROOM undertakes to ensure that the NFTs presented for sale on the Website correspond to the Works associated with them and include any Benefits described.

3.2/ Price of NFTs

The Sale price of the NFTs varies according to the Drop, the NFT considered and/or the method of Sale used (fixed price or auction).

The Sale price of NFTs is indicated in Cryptocurrency on the Website and is inclusive of all taxes but exclusive of Gas Fees and any other transaction fees that may be required or levied by Third Party Services.

The Buyer will be informed by third parties (the Crypto-Wallet managers) of the fees applicable to the envisaged transaction, at the time of the Purchase of the NFT in question or of the Offer. It will be up to him to refer very carefully to this information before definitively confirming his wish to buy the NFT or to make an Offer, knowing that the blockchain technology which governs Smart Contracts does not allow the cancellation of the Sale of an NFT or an Offer when the Purchase or the Offer has been confirmed.

SILVER ROOM shall therefore not be liable in this respect, which the User expressly accepts

  • be of legal age (over 18 years old), the Website not being intended for children under 18 years old;

  • buy Ethereum or any other Cryptocurrency accepted by the Website for the Purchase/Sale of an NFT and load them on his Crypto-Wallet.

  • Check the box "I accept the T&C";
  • Check the details (NFT selected, if any, the attached Benefits, the total price, the transaction fees (Gas Fees) that are applicable on the blockchain and correct any errors) before finally confirming the following:
    1. In the context of a Fixed Price Sale, his wish to purchase the selected NFT by clicking in the place indicated (button "MINT"), to express his acceptance irrevocably.
    2. In the context of an Auction, his wish to irrevocably accept the Auction insofar as each Offer is binding, it being specified that:
      • The Auction shall be closed when the allotted time has expired. The NFT thus sold will be attributed to the User whose Offer is the highest at the closing of the Auction, provided that the Reserve Price has been reached;
      • SILVER ROOM reserves the right to withdraw an NFT from a planned or ongoing Auction on the Website, if necessary, and in particular in case of abuse, proven or suspected fraud or error. In the event of withdrawal, the Bids made will be deleted., proven or suspected fraud or error. In case of withdrawal, the Offers made will be deleted.

It is expressly reminded that any interaction of a User with the blockchain may result in Gas Fees that will be irrecoverable, even if the transaction is not successful.

3.4/ Confirmation of the Sale of NFTs

Once the Sale is completed, it will be registered in the blockchain and the NFT will automatically appear in the Buyer's Crypto-Wallet. It will also be visible on third party marketplaces (such as OpenSea).

4 - Conditions relating to the Secondary Sale

In case of resale of NFT, it is reminded that the Seller has only a limited right to transfer the purchased NFT:

  1. The intended transfer shall be in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable in the country where such transfer is intended, including, but not limited to, restrictions under applicable trade regulations;
  2. The Subsequent Buyer shall have accepted all of the Terms and Conditions and shall be deemed to have accepted them by purchasing an NFT and using the attached Benefits;

  4. Seller shall not have violated the Terms and Conditions prior to the Secondary Sale, and in particular shall not have infringed any Rights Related to the Work.

On the occasion of each resale, a commission based on the amount of the transaction, the amount of which may vary according to the NFTs resold, will be automatically deducted from the transaction by SILVER ROOM and its Partner. The amount of this commission is written in the Smart Contract and will be indicated at the time of the Sale of each NFT.

5 - Right of withdrawal

It is reminded that Sales are automatically managed by Smart Contracts which do not allow cancellation. Any exchange or refund is impossible, which the User acknowledges and expressly accepts.

As a result, and given the particular nature of the NFT Sale, which implies an instantaneous execution, the Buyer acknowledges that he/she is informed and accepts that his/her right of withdrawal cannot be exercised in accordance with article L.221-28 paragraph 13 of the French Consumer Code reproduced below and of which he/she declares that he/she has expressly taken note:

"The right of withdrawal may not be exercised for contracts: 13° Of supply of a digital content not supplied on a material support whose execution began after prior express agreement of the consumer and express renunciation of his right of withdrawal".

6 - Ownership of the NFT, the Work and the Rights Related to the Work

6.1/ Upon the Sale of an NFT, only the ownership of the NFT is transferred to the Buyer by the registration of the transaction in the blockchain.

The Purchase of an NFT does not give the Buyer any ownership rights on the Work that is associated with it and/or on the elements that make it up, apart from the possible Benefits. In other words, only the Rights Related to the Work expressly listed under Benefits at the time of the Sale of an NFT may be used by the Buyer.

The User acknowledges and accepts that he/she will not have any other right to use the Work associated with his/her NFT and/or its component parts outside the strict framework of the Benefits mentioned in Article 8 below.

    • use them as a trademark or as a sign to market any product, service or merchandise;
    • integrate them into films, videos, photos or any other form of media or support;
    • to bring them together with still or animated images, texts or any other form of media or content that promotes or incites hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty or any other illicit activity or contrary to good morals;
    • to associate them with any statement that is disparaging or damaging to the image or reputation of SILVER ROOM, a Partner or any third party.
  • (ii) File or attempt to register or protect any Trademark or other element covered by any Right Related to the Work or any identifying sign of SILVER ROOM or a Partner, in any capacity and in any place, including but not limited to as a trademark in any class of goods and services, design, author rights/copyright, domain name, social media account and associated address without this list being exhaustive;
  • (iii) Adapt, modify or distort all or part of a Work or its component elements in any way.

6.2/ SILVER ROOM warrants to the Buyer that the NFT purchased does not in itself infringe any rights held by third parties.
