  • 2.1These Terms of Use (Terms) govern your access to and use of the Fungees Platform including to create and use Custom NFTs for your personal use and enjoyment.

  • 2.3You are responsible for determining your eligibility to access and use the Fungees Platform – including to create Custom NFTs on the Fungees Platform – and to agree to these Terms, based on the laws applicable to you.
  • 2.4Unless clearly stated by us in official communications, we will not invite, target, or solicit any person outside of Australia to access and use the Fungees Platform, but will assume you are eligible to access and use the Fungees Platform if you proceed to create a Torus Wallet and engage with our Services. If you reside outside of Australia, we may be limited in the way that we can respond to any queries you raise with us.
  • 2.5Please note that your access and use of the Fungees Platform will give rise to you creating a contractual relationship with us as well as with third parties. You are responsible for reading and determining your eligibility to enter other legal or contractual relationships in accordance with the terms provided by those third parties.
  • 2.6By using your Torus Wallet in online venues other than our Website, you understand that:
    • (a)you are not buying or selling crypto-tokens from or to us, and you may or will create a legal or contractual relationship with one or more third parties, but

3Warnings

  • 3.1Crypto-tokens such as Custom NFTs, blockchain-based proprietary software platforms such as the Fungees Platform, permissionless blockchain ledger technology such as the Polygon Ledger, and necessary third-party software, are each high risk – particularly financial risk and technology risk.
  • 3.2You understand and accept that engaging with Custom NFTs, the Fungees Platform, your Torus Wallet, and the Polygon Ledger, as well as necessary third-party software, could result in loss of total value you have paid to purchase your Custom NFT, and other addresses or accounts that may be intercepted because of your use of the aforementioned.
  • 3.3Scams involving crypto-tokens and digital wallets, and harmful imitations of blockchain-based platforms are common. Please take upmost care to interact only with our Website, the Fungees Platform, and your Torus Wallet. Official links to each are contained in these Terms.
  • 3.4Any Custom NFT that you create and pay for on the Fungees Platform is created and sent directly from the Noodleface Wallet to your Torus Wallet. Noodleface does not hold any keys to your Torus Wallet so is unable to recover the Custom NFT if you lose access to your Torus Wallet.
  • 3.5You are responsible for the correct submission of data when you create a Custom NFT because once a Custom NFT is created it cannot be reversed and any Components you have selected may no longer be available for others to include in their Custom NFT. This circumstance means that we cannot offer refunds for a change of mind or the mistaken creation of Custom NFTs. We reserve all rights to decide in our sole discretion whether exceptional circumstances exist to support our payment to you of the Purchase Price you have paid to us, or a lesser amount, following your transfer of the Custom NFT to the Noodleface Wallet and any other conditions that we may deem reasonably necessary to protect our business interests.
  • 3.6You are responsible for seeking independent and professional advice based on your own circumstances prior to your access and use of the Fungees Platform.
  • 3.7To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, Noodleface does not accept any responsibility or liability in respect of your access and use of the Fungees Platform other than as set out in these Terms.
  • 3.8These Terms do not govern your interaction with, or reliance upon, any third-party software nor the reliability, safety, or continuity of IPFS or the Polygon Ledger and its network including transactions and balances recorded on the Polygon Ledger and data recorded with IPFS.

4About the Fungees Platform

  • 4.1With the above said, we welcome you to the Fungees Platform, a platform to create avatars for gaming or social platforms that are Custom NFTs for your personal use and enjoyment.
  • 4.2The Fungees Platform can be accessed at fungees.io, which has been built for Visitors and Minters to enjoy our Website and engage with our Services.

    Note: When the Website is used as an interface to interact with the Polygon Ledger, alongside third-party software such as Torus Wallet and Web3Auth, these Terms will instead use the word Interface instead of Website.

  • 4.3What is a Torus Wallet?

    A Torus Wallet is third-party software that uses additional third-party software, Web3Auth, to enable a person to create a unique Polygon Ledger address, and deal with balances of crypto-tokens represented at that address, using their existing social media login details such as Meta, X, Google/gmail, WeChat or Discord.

  • 4.4What can you do on the Fungees Platform?

    Website Services allow:

    • (a)Visitors to browse the Platform Content displayed on the Website subject to the Limited Licence contained in these Terms;
    • (b)Visitors to create a Torus Wallet, browse and select Components to build a Custom NFT, and become Minters by paying the Purchase Price for a Custom NFT;
    • (c)Minters to download the Reference Content (as an image file) in one or more formats and receive relevant links to IPFS and Polygonscan referable to the Custom NFT, on the condition the Custom NFT resides in the Minter’s Torus Wallet at the time download is initiated;
    • (d)Minters to create a profile page;
    • (e)Visitors and Minters to submit feedback or complaints via the Website form;
    • (f)Visitors and Minters to subscribe to receive information about new collections and offers.

    • (a)transfer from another Polygon Ledger address they exclusively control, a balance of crypto-tokens into their Torus Wallet address;
    • (b)buy a balance of crypto-tokens from a third-party crypto-token exchange using fiat currency, or a decentralised crypto-token exchange using other crypto-tokens; and
    • (c)transfer out a balance of crypto-tokens, including Custom NFTs, to another Polygon Ledger address they exclusively control.

5Third-party software

  • 5.2In connecting your Torus Wallet to the Interface to create a Custom NFT, each Polygon Ledger transaction is communicated through the Torus Wallet, which completes the Polygon Ledger transaction on your behalf.
  • 5.3Our Interface may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Those links are provided for convenience and may not remain current or be maintained.
