Welcome! Take a moment to go through these Terms of Service (the "Terms") carefully as they're important for using our website and interface at https://soshnft.io/ (the "Site", "Website", or the "Sosh NFT Platform"), along with any downloadable blockchain currency management software (the "Software"), mobile applications ("Apps"), and other services and resources provided by Sosh, Inc. ("Sosh," "we," "our"). These help you interact with certain decentralized cryptographic protocols, make and sell non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"), manage cryptographic currencies, and more. We call these collectively the "Services."

By using the Sosh NFT Platform or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Service when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Sosh NFT Platform.

To use or access the Sosh NFT Platform, you must (a) be 18 or older or, if you are from 13 to 17 have your parent or guardian's consent to the terms of these Terms of Service, and (b) possess the ability to enter into a binding contract with us and not be barred from doing so under any applicable laws. Children under 13 years old are not permitted to register for the Sosh NFT Platform, and parents or legal guardians may not register on their behalf.

1. Agreement to Terms

By using the Sosh NFT Platform, you're agreeing to these Terms. If you don't agree, you can't use the Sosh NFT Platform.

2. Changes to these Terms

We may revise and update these Terms of Service from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Website thereafter. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms of Service means that you accept and agree to the changes.

3. Who May Use the Sosh NFT Platform?

Eligibility

You can use the Sosh NFT Platform if you're 18 years or older and able to make a deal with Sosh. We won't ask for personal info from anyone under 13. If we find out someone's under 13, we'll delete their info. If you think someone under 13 is using our Service, email us at support@soshnft.io.

Following Rules

You can only use the Sosh NFT Platform if your local laws allow. You promise to follow all the rules when you use the Sosh NFT Platform. For example, you can't use the Sosh NFT Platform from a country the U.S. government doesn't like, and you can't be on any list the U.S. government made. If you use the Sosh NFT Platform outside the U.S., it's your job to make sure it's okay by the local laws.

4. Our Mission

The Sosh NFT Platform is an NFT marketplace that allows users to license commercial rights to their social media content on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and YouTube. Users register and create accounts on the platform and connect their social media profiles to their cryptocurrency wallet. They mint NFTs for their social media content by pasting the link to the specific social media post and using the minting function on the website to mint an NFT that is registered for that specific post. They can then list that NFT for sale or accept offers on that specific NFT.

5. About the Sosh NFT Platform

Our Sosh NFT Platform helps you interact with protocols and blockchains, letting you bid on, buy, trade, and sell NFTs. Sosh provides the Sosh NFT Platform, an interface to do all this. You can also create and put NFTs up for sale.

You can use the Sosh NFT Platform by linking your digital wallet(s) to buy, store, and make transactions with cryptocurrency. Before you buy or sell any digital asset, we'll ask you to download a supported electronic wallet extension and connect your digital wallets.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

SOSH NFT PLATFORM IS NOT A BROKER, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, OR CREDITOR. THE SERVICES ARE AN ADMINISTRATIVE PLATFORM ONLY. SOSH FACILITATES TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE PURCHASER AND SELLER ON THE SOSH NFT PLATFORM BUT IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PURCHASER AND SELLER OF NFTs OR BETWEEN ANY USERS.

6. Transactions on the Blockchain

While Sosh offers a marketplace for NFTs, it does not buy, sell or take custody or possession of any NFTs, nor does it act as an agent or custodian for any user of the Sosh NFT Platform. Each NFT that is listed for sale will enable a blockchain-based smart contract deployed by Sosh to ensure that the purported seller owns such NFT. Each such NFT is transferred automatically upon consummation of its sale through the relevant blockchain network.

7. Purchase Terms

When the terms of sale for an NFT are displayed on the Sosh NFT Platform, all such terms are determined by the purchasers and sellers, and the sale and purchase of NFTs are subject to these terms (referred to as "Purchase Terms"). Sosh is not a party to these Purchase Terms, as they are solely between the purchaser and the seller.

8. Costs and Fees

Transactions on the Sosh NFT Platform may incur fees that support the NFT creators and the Sosh NFT Platform. These fees include a flat minting fee for creating an NFT using the NFT minting contract, as well as a percentage of the total sale value for each NFT sold on the NFT marketplace contract. Gas fees and hosting fees may also apply.

9. Taxes

You bear full responsibility for all expenses associated with your use of the Sosh NFT Platform, as well as for identifying, collecting, reporting, and remitting all applicable Taxes. "Taxes" refers to taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental fees that you may be legally obligated to collect and submit to governmental entities.
