POCKET UNIVERSE DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AS TO THE SERVICES, CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN. POCKET UNIVERSE DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT CONTENT ON THE SERVICES IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT OR ERROR-FREE. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF ANY KIND FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN OR TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON MATERIAL OR INFORMATION, CONTAINED ON THE SERVICES.

Pocket Universe is not responsible for sustained casualties due to vulnerability or any kind of failure, abnormal behavior of any software (e.g., digital-asset wallet, so-called “smart contract,” etc.), blockchain(s) or any other feature(s) of or related to the Services. Pocket Universe is not responsible for casualties due to any late reporting by developers or representatives (or no reporting at all) of any issues with any blockchain(s) or digital asset(s), including forks thereof, technical node issues or any other issues that result in any loss of funds.

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit liability of either party for fraud, death or bodily injury caused by gross negligence, violation of laws, or any other activity that cannot be limited or excluded by legitimate means.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES IN CONTRACTS WITH CONSUMERS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, SOLELY TO THE EXTENT SUCH EXCLUSION IS SO PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

  1. Assumption of Risk

Volatility. The prices of blockchain-based digital assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect digital asset(s), which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that purchasing any digital asset(s) will not result in the loss of money or other value. 

Taxes. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your use of the Services. Neither Pocket Universe nor any other Pocket Universe Party is responsible for determining the taxes that apply to any use of the Services.

Digital Assets / Cryptocurrency. The Services involve and/or rely upon certain blockchain technology, including decentralized, distributed public ledger(s), which offer many benefits, but also presents certain inherent risks that you assume by using the Services, including without limitation, that:

  • A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility or value of digital asset(s).

  • The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, digital assets, cryptocurrencies and/or  so-called “tokens” is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Services and/or the utility of digital asset(s).

  1. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL POCKET UNIVERSE OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF DIGITAL ASSETS, LOSS OF PRIVATE KEY, LOSS OF SEED PHRASE, LOSS OF ACCESS TO ANY DIGITAL ASSET WALLET, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY CONTENT ON THE SERVICES OR ANY OTHER WEBSITES AND MOBILE APPLICATIONS OR ANY ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES AND MOBILE APPLICATIONS, WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

IN NO EVENT WILL POCKET UNIVERSE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES, THE ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, CONTENT OR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PURCHASED THROUGH THE SERVICES EXCEED $100.

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM SHALL BE DEEMED PERMANENTLY WAIVED AND BARRED.

THIS SECTION DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEREBY MINIMIZING OUR LIABILITY TO YOU TO THE LOWEST AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

  1. Dispute Resolution

This Section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully.

Informal Process. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Pocket Universe, you will first contact Pocket Universe and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.

Agreement to Arbitrate. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy or claim (collectively, “Dispute”) relating in any way to these Terms or Pocket Universe’s services and/or products, including but not limited to the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between you and Pocket Universe or any other user of the Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration.  This mandatory arbitration agreement applies to you and to Pocket Universe.  However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Dispute by Pocket Universe for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms, or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases.

You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Pocket Universe are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.  This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.

If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to:

[9450 SW Gemini Dr PMB 21898]

Arbitration Procedure and Rules.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, including all questions of arbitrability, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules by a sole arbitrator. The parties hereto shall endeavor to agree upon the arbitrator, and if they fail to do so within twenty-one (21) days of the commencement of the arbitration, the appointment shall be made by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. The place, or legal seat of arbitration, shall be California, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.



You may only bring claims in your individual capacity on your own behalf, and not in any representative capacity or on behalf of any class or purported class, and no arbitration you commence hereunder may be joined with or include any claims by any other persons.  Each party shall be exclusively responsible for paying its own arbitration filing fees, which may later be allocated by the arbitrator as set forth below.



The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award and, subject to the limitation of liability set forth above, shall have the power to grant any interim or provisional measures that the arbitrator deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and specific performance, and any interim or provisional measures ordered by the arbitrator may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction as a final award.  Nothing herein, however, shall authorize the arbitrator to act as amiable compositeurs, to proceed ex aequo et bono, or to exercise rights of iura novit curia.  Each party hereto retains the right to seek interim measures from a judicial authority, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.  The arbitrator shall award the prevailing party, if any as determined by the arbitrator, its reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  No information concerning an arbitration, beyond the names of the parties, their counsel or the relief requested, may be unilaterally disclosed to a third party by any party unless required by law.  Any documentary or other evidence given by any party or witness in any arbitration shall be treated as confidential by any party whose access to such evidence arises exclusively because of its participation in the arbitration and shall not be disclosed to any third party (other than a witness or expert), except as may be required by law.  Any party who commences any judicial proceeding in connection with an arbitration initiated hereunder shall endeavor to have the judicial record of any such proceeding sealed to the extent permitted by law.



YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, YOUR CLAIM WILL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.



The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable.  However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.

Class Action Waiver. Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff or similar proceeding (“Class Action”).  The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum.  If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration.  Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.  The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case or to be a party to a class or representative action is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.

Waiver of Jury Trial.  If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Pocket Universe each waive any right to a jury trial.

  1. Miscellaneous

Governing Law and Venue. These Terms, your access to and use of the Services and Content, and your participation in the Services, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles of the State of Delaware, or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware. However, as a consumer, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident and nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of local law.



Severability. If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.



Wavier. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.  If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.



Assignability. These Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with Pocket Universe’s prior written consent.



Notices. All notices under these Terms will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.
