For further information on the sales conditions and purchasing process of products, including NFTs, please refer to the specific Terms and Conditions of Sale that are available on the Site.You acknowledge and agree that in case you wish to purchase or receive a NFT, you shall have a digital wallet compatible with the Site in order to receive and store your NFT. The wallet is a digital storage that enables you to store and transact with cryptocurrency that you need to own to receive the NFT. Therefore, you need set up your own digital wallet – which equip you with a wallet address, key vault, secure login, and backup options – in order to download the NFT and manage your digital assets securely. In this regard, you acknowledge that only wallets supporting transactions on the Solana blockchain are admitted, including Phantom (https://phantom.app/), Solflare (https://solflare.com/), and Glow (https://glow.app/).

The Company warrants the authenticity and uniqueness of all the NFTs made available through the Site.

15.1. Receipt of NFTs

The term within which the Company makes available to you the NFT purchased or otherwise transferred is one day from the date of any successful completion of the relevant payment or transaction provided that you have provided all the information necessary to make the NFT available to you.

In case of purchase of NFTs in combination with a physical product, NFTs will be delivered after the expiry of the return period of the physical product as indicated in the relevant Terms and Conditions of Sale. For the redemption, you will receive an e-mail containing a link to the Site for your NFT redemption and you will be enabled to connect your NFT to your wallet as soon as the payment of the relevant price is executed, upon the successful verification.

In the event the Company does not make available the NFT purchased within the above timeframe, you may request that the Company make available such NFT within an additional time adequate to the circumstances in accordance with the applicable laws currently into force. You shall have in any event the right to immediately terminate the contract if the NFT purchased is not made available within the additional term specified herein.

Nothing in this clause affects the application of mandatory provisions of local consumer law more favourable to you.

15.2. Price and Method of Payment of NFTs and related physical products, if any

You can purchase the NFTs in USDC cryptocurrency only on the Solana Blockchain. USDC is a “stablecoin” pegged to the actual USD. More information on USDC SOL is available at the following link: https://www.circle.com/en/usdc-multichain/solana. .

The prices of all NFTs are inclusive of VAT or any relevant applicable local consumption tax, except for hosting fees, and any other transaction fees, or the gas fees (“Blockchain Fees”) which are excluded and shall be borne by you.

You acknowledge that every transaction performed in USDC cryptocurrency requires the payment of the Blockchain Fees (e.g., the gas fee that should be paid for the registration of the transactions in the Blockchain). In particular, gas fees are the transaction fee paid to the network of computers that run the decentralized Solana Blockchain, meaning that you will need to pay a gas fee for each transaction that occurs via the Solana Blockchain. This means that you will need to pay such Blokchain Fees for each transaction related to the purchase(s) made in the context of the Initiative and that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms and Conditions, you will be solely responsible in this regard. Therefore, by buying any NFT, you agree to pay all Blockchain Fees as applicable, which will be automatically charged you or deducted directly from your payment. In the event you are subject to the application of any costs connected to the purchase of the physical products and/or the redemption of the NFTs other than the Blockchain Fees, such costs shall be indicated expressly and separately from any other cost or expense upon completion of the purchase order and prior to the payment. In the event you cannot be charged the amounts due for any reason whatsoever, the sale process shall be automatically terminated and the sale cancelled, and you shall be subsequently notified accordingly.

The contract by and between the Company and you shall be deemed to have been executed as soon as the payment process is completed, and any verification as indicated below has been successfully executed. Therefore, the Company is and remains owner of the NFTs until your payment is successful upon which the ownership has to be deemed transferred to you.

In connection thereof, you agree that:

1. you will need to connect your digital wallet and authorize payment for the purchase;

2. any payment will be verified according to the Company’s antifraud policy as well as to the applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations. The Company can refuse the payment in case of no compliance with such laws, regulations and policy.

Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that:

1. digital wallets are provided by third parties and not by the Company which therefore will not have any responsibility and control in relation to such digital wallets and its use by you. Accordingly, these Terms and Conditions are not applicable to your use of the digital wallet which will be ruled by the terms and conditions provided by the relevant third parties;

2. the Company does not hold any wallet private keys;

3. your digital wallet public address will be made publicly visible every time you engage in a transaction;

4. third party digital wallet providers may charge you a fee for the service they provide;

5. it is your responsibility: (i) to ensure the compatibility of your digital wallet with the Site before receiving the NFTs and (ii) to ensure that the digital wallet is operated and stored in appropriate security conditions. The Company shall have no responsibility thereto.

The Company has no control over the payments process, nor the Company is in the position to reverse any payments. Therefore, the Company has no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any payments that you execute for the purposes of purchase of the NFTs.

The Company reserves the right to modify the prices of the NFTs offered for sale on the Site at any time without notice. You are aware that the value of the NFTs is subjective and therefore can be volatile. Therefore, you acknowledge that the Company cannot guarantee that any NFT purchased will retain their original value.

Following the transfer of the NFT, you assume all responsibility for any tax obligation to be complied with in your country of residence, including but not limited to the correct tax treatment to be applied to the transfer of the NFT, obligation to file any tax return or communication to the relevant tax authorities concerning NFT and/or related cryptocurrencies, releasing the Company for all purposes from any liability or obligation.

Your right to sell or transfer the NFT on a specific platform or market place (i.e. “secondary sales”) is subject to specific conditions defined by the Company. You acknowledge that in each secondary sale of NFT, you owe a royalty to the Company which is a percentage of the NFT’s compensation (if any) you receive from the relevant purchaser as defined in accordance with the terms of the smart contract. The Company would be obliged to issue and invoice charging VAT or similar consumption tax as the case maybe and, to this end, you undertake to give the Company any information and/or personal data that would be requested in order to issue regular invoice in accordance with the applicable tax legislation.

15.3. Returns and refunds – Withdrawal right

NFTs are unique digital contents. Therefore, given the NFTs digital nature and non-fungibility, meaning the non-interchangeability, of the NFTs, you are informed and acknowledge that the withdrawal right is not applicable to your NFTs under these Terms and Conditions.

This is without prejudice to the application of the other warranties provided for by these Terms and Conditions.

Notwithstanding the above, this Section 15.3. of these Terms and Conditions does not affect any withdrawal right granted to you by mandatory provisions of local consumer law applicable to you on the Company’s physical products that you purchase in combination with the NFTs. For further information on the withdrawal period applicable to your country, please refer to the Terms and Conditions of Withdrawal available on the Site.

16. Right to Change These Terms and Conditions or Site Content

For any claim in which you seek U.S. $10,000.00 or less, you shall have the choice as to whether the hearing is conducted in person, by telephone, or instead the arbitrator may decide the dispute without a hearing. For those claims that the arbitrator determines are not frivolous, the Company shall pay the costs and fees of JAMS and the arbitrator. The Company agrees that it will not seek reimbursement from you for its costs and fees incurred by it in the arbitration. AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN A CLASS ACTION.

Non-U.S. Residents: If any controversy, allegation, or claim (including any non-contractual claim) arises out of or relates to the Site or Terms of Service, then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Section 8(b) Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 8(b). Your notice to us must be sent to us at ASICS foreigndispute@asics.com. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, the Company and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Section 8(b) Dispute, though nothing will require either you or the Company to resolve the Section 8(b) Dispute on terms either you or the Company, in each of our sole discretion, are uncomfortable. Nothing in this Section will prevent a party from pursuing their claims in Court or another complaint process.
