Receipt of Proper Infringement Notification

Once anotherblock receives an infringement notification with all of the required information and anotherblock is able to locate the applicable material, it is anotherblock’s policy:
To remove or disable access to the infringing content;
To notify the content provider, member, or user (“Content Provider”) that it has removed or disabled access to the content; and
That repeat infringers will have the infringing content removed from the system and that, in appropriate circumstances, anotherblock will terminate such Content Provider’s access to the Platform.

6. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

6.1 We do not guarantee, represent or warrant that:

your use of the Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. We reserve the right to resolve any errors in the Platform by any means at our sole discretion; and
the information provided by third parties (e.g. by Rightsholders) and visible on our Platform will be accurate or reliable.

6.2 Nothing in these Terms of Use shall affect your legal rights as a consumer or exclude or limit any liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

6.3 While anotherblock as a platform provider helps facilitate transactions that are carried out between you and the Rightsholder, anotherblock is neither the buyer nor the seller of a NFT. Anotherblock provides a venue for Rightsholders and buyers to negotiate and (through a third party digital wallet provider) complete transactions. Accordingly, the Ownership Agreement formed at the completion of a sale of a NFT is solely between buyer and the Rightsholder. Anotherblock is not a party to the Ownership Agreement nor assumes any responsibility arising out of or in connection with it (apart from administrating NFT Owner Royalties in accordance with a separate agreement between anotherblock and Rightsholder). The Rightsholder is responsible for the sale of the NFT and for dealing with any NFT Owner claims or any other issue arising out of or in connection with the Ownership Agreement.

6.4 Except in jurisdictions where such provisions are restricted, in no event will anotherblock or its directors, employees or agents be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including for any lost profits or lost data arising from your use of the Platform or the marketplace or any of the Platform content or other materials on or accessed through the Platform.
