NTT DATA Italia S.p.A., with registered office in Via Ernesto Calindri, 4 Milan (MI), enrolled in the Milan Companies Register under no. 00513990010, Tax Code and VAT no. 07988320011, e-mail address (the "ù;Company”) created an NFT (acronym for Non-Fungible-Token), i.e. a type of cryptographic token on blockchain that represents a non-fungible digital or real asset.
The main characteristic of the NFT is its non-fungibility, i.e. its non-interchangeability through unique codes. This uniqueness, as opposed to the interchangeability of fungible tokens (e.g. cryptocurrencies), allows NFTs to be associated with physical assets or collectible digital assets. The latter is the case with NFTs made by the Company.
In this case, the NFT is considered a digital graphic work of art consisting of graphics, videos and/or sounds also through forms of animation, in fact the Company has realised NFT consisting of various digital image templates that can be aggregated with other multimedia contents (hereinafter, "Collabeatz”), also referable to the Company's own proprietary trademark and community and/or its licensors ("Trademark”).
NFTs are realised through a smart contract (i.e. a computer programme that operates on distributed ledger technologies and whose execution automatically binds two or more parties on the basis of effects predefined by them). The NFT, the smart contract and the related transactions are, by definition, public and visible information on the public Ethereum blockchain ("Ethereum”) that can be consulted on the Block Explorer called "Etherscan” via the following address: https://etherscan.io/ and, in the case of a hard fork, Collabeatz will only be considered valid on the chain officially recognised by the majority of Ethereum nodes. In this respect, Ethereum can guarantee the transparency, authenticity and immutability of transactions. Transactions consist of the buying and selling of Collabeatz and will be recorded on Ethereum through the payment of virtual currency ("ETH” or "Cryptocurrency”).
These general terms and conditions of sale (hereinafter, "General Terms and Conditions”) govern sales relating to Collabeatz distributed by the Company's authorized reseller Coinbar S.p.A. with registered office in Via della Marcigliana 532, Roma, Italia (the "Distributor”), and concluded remotely via the website https://opensea.io/ (hereinafter, the "Website”).

The type of Collabeatz may be associated with other NFTs and personalised through other digital elements, on the basis of what is illustrated on the dedicated page of the Website/Webpage. The Company or the Distributor shall not be liable to the Customer in the event of non-availability of the Collabeatz if this is represented to the Customer prior to the conclusion of the contract. In such cases, the Customer shall be entitled to a full refund of the purchased Collabeatz.

The Distributor will sell a limited number of Collabeatz in two stages:
the pre-sale limited to a small number of users and temporary; and

The Customer has the option to resell Collabeatz, also on third party platforms (so-called marketplaces). In this sense, the right of the Customer to sell or transfer Collabeatz on a specific platform or marketplace ("Secondary Sales”) is subject to such terms and conditions.

Such rights in the NFT Content are deemed to be granted limited to the period of time that the Customer is the owner of Collabeatz. Accordingly, in the event of Secondary Sales, the same rights shall be deemed automatically transferred with the ownership of the relevant Collabeatz and the subsequent reseller shall be obliged to assign to the Distributor the relevant Resale Percentage to the extent determined in these General Terms and Conditions. In the case of Secondary Sales, the Customer is obliged to inform and communicate the existence of these General Terms and Conditions governing the purchase of Collabeatz and subsequent purchasers must accept them in full in order to finalise the purchase, holding the Company and the Distributor harmless and indemnified against any disputes on the part of the latter.

Without prejudice to the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that they have no right, title and interest in the Trademarks of the Company and the companies of the NTT DATA group and in the related distinctive signs and intellectual property rights, as well as in the NFT Content which are and shall remain the property of the Company or its licensors, if any.

To the extent that NFT Content associated with NFT contains intellectual property licensed from third parties, including artists, celebrities, athletes or other public figures ("Third Party Intellectual Property”), the Customer understands and agrees that: (ix) that it shall not have the right to use such Third Party Intellectual Property in any way other than as incorporated into the NFT Content and subject to the licence and restrictions contained herein; (x) that, depending on the nature of the licence granted by the owner of the Third Party Intellectual Property, the Company may have to go through restrictions on the Customer's ability to use the NFT Content; and (xi) to the extent that the Company or the Distributor notifies you of such restrictions in writing (email is permitted), you shall be responsible for complying with all such restrictions from the date you receive notice, and your failure to do so shall be deemed a breach of this licence.

The Company as manufacturer shall guarantee the conformity of the Collabeatz with the technical characteristics of the product described during the sale. This liability pursuant to Article 118 of Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 September 2005, as subsequently amended and supplemented by the "Consumers' Code” is excluded with respect to the Customer where:
the defect in the Collabeatz causing the damage did not exist at the time the Company and the Distributor put the NFTs into circulation (e.g. if the damage was caused by an attempt by the Customer to tamper with the NFT);
the state of technical knowledge relating to blockchain technology and smart contracts did not yet allow Collabeatz to be considered defective at the time when the Distributor put them into circulation; and
if the nature of the malfunction causing the damage is directly attributable to Ethereum. In this case, the Company and the Distributor would have no control whatsoever, since Ethereum, as a public blockchain, is not governed by a central entity.
Pursuant to applicable law, including the provisions of the Consumers' Code when applicable, the Customer acknowledges and agrees to use Collabeatz at their own exclusive risk, including those relating to quality, performance, functionality, and accuracy.
In the event of a lack of conformity of Collabeatz, the Customer shall have the right to have them restored to conformity where technically possible or the contract terminated within the terms provided for by applicable law. The Customer shall not be entitled to terminate the contract if the lack of conformity is minor.
To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the foregoing and consumer protection legislation where applicable, the Company and the Distributor shall have no liability arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions for (1) indirect, incidental or consequential loss (whether foreseeable or contemplated by the Customer); (2) emerging damages; or (3) loss of profit resulting from loss of revenue, profits or data. The Company's and Distributor's aggregate liability, if any, arising from the sale of Collabeatz shall not exceed the amount paid by the Customer for the purchase of such Collabeatz.
The Company and the Distributor shall in no event be liable for any errors resulting from the failure of the Customer's connection to the Website or the failure of the Website and/or the technical criticalities related to the transactions necessary to process the NFTs and the transfer of their ownership (including gas fees, third party platform fees, blockchain network clogging, etc.), as such circumstances are dependent on factors beyond the Company's and Distributor's control.
Collabeatz are intangible digital assets that exist by virtue of transactions recorded and maintained on Ethereum's public blockchain through related smart contracts. As Ethereum is not operated by a centralised entity, the Company and the Distributor has no control over, and makes no promises or warranties in respect of, the transactions taking place on Ethereum, including those relating to Collabeatz. For this reason, the Customer acknowledges that the Company and the Distributor are not responsible and shall have no liability for any problems or losses resulting from a malfunction of the Ethereum public blockchain and/or the related smart contract. The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Distributor, their subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, as well as costs and expenses, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) the Customer's use of the NFTs or (ii) the violation of these General Terms and Conditions or applicable laws.
Where Collabeatz are resold through Secondary Sales through third party platforms, the Company and the Distributor will not be in any way responsible for the sales process completed through such third-party platforms. The Customer is therefore invited, in such cases, to review the terms and conditions of sale and privacy policy of such third-party platforms where Collabeatz would be sold.
