GOVERNING AGREEMENTS
These NFT Terms lay out special terms related to our offering, and your potential purchase, of Barstool NFTs. The NFT Terms incorporate, to the extent applicable, all the legal terms set forth in the Barstool Sports Terms of Use which you can find here: https://www.barstoolsports.com/terms-of-use (" Barstool Platform TOS"). Please read the Barstool Platform TOS carefully as they govern your legal rights vis-à-vis Barstool, including those that mandate arbitration. All relevant terms of the Barstool Platform TOS are incorporated herein. For clarity, the website at BSNFT.io will be included in the definition of "Platform" as used in the Barstool Platform TOS.
The BSNFT.io website is being made available for the sole purpose of providing information regarding Barstool NFTs that have been, may be, or are currently available for purchase via auction. Should you choose to bid on a Barstool NFT, you will be redirected to the third-party NFT marketplace OpenSea.io, which is owned and operated by Ozone Networks, Inc. dba OpenSea (" OpenSea"). To utilize the OpenSea platform, you will be required to create an OpenSea account and agree to the OpenSea Terms of Use, which you can find here: https://opensea.io/tos (" OpenSea TOS").
In order to participate in an auction to purchase a Barstool NFT via OpenSea, you will need to link your OpenSea account to a digital wallet of your choice on supported bridge extensions such as MetaMask (https://metamask.io/). Your use of that digital wallet will be governed by the terms of use of the applicable digital wallet provider (" Digital Wallet TOS") (e.g., https://metamask.io/terms.html).
By participating in any auction for a Barstool NFT, you are expressly agreeing to: (1) these NFT Terms (which incorporate the Barstool Platform TOS); (2) the OpenSea TOS; (3) the applicable Digital Wallet TOS, (4) any special terms embedded on the applicable Barstool NFT, and (5) the terms of any other agreement of which you are a party that may govern the permitted transaction concerning a Barstool NFT (collectively, the " Applicable Agreements"). If you do not agree to the terms of any of the Applicable Agreements, you are prohibited from participating in an auction for a Barstool NFT.
BARSTOOL RESPONSIBILITIES
If you acquire a Barstool NFT, Barstool agrees to provide you with the necessary licenses in and to the Content contained in the Barstool NFT (on the terms herein) and to authorize OpenSea and the applicable digital wallet providers to undertake the transfer of ownership of the Barstool NFT. These are Barstool's sole responsibilities with respect to any transaction involving a Barstool NFT. You acknowledge that the Barstool Platform does not store, send, or receive NFTs nor update the applicable ownership record maintained on the supporting blockchain. You further acknowledge that Barstool will rely on third-party platforms such as OpenSea and the applicable digital wallet providers to perform the technical steps necessary to complete any transactions relating to Barstool NFTs, and such transactions shall be governed by, in addition to these NFT Terms, the OpenSea TOS, the applicable Digital Wallet TOS, and the terms of any other technology providers involved in the transaction, as applicable. Any transfer of Barstool NFTs occurs within the supporting blockchain and not on the Barstool Platform.
NO REFUNDS
All purchases of Barstool NFTs, as well as associated charges, are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the Barstool NFT, any disruption to the operations of any components of the Barstool NFT, your loss of access to the Barstool NFT or any other reason whatsoever.
TAXES

Barstool reserves all other rights in the Content. Without limiting the foregoing, you expressly agree that you have no right to (a) modify the Content; (b) use the Content to advertise, market or sell a product or services; (c) incorporate the Content in videos or other media; (d) or sell merchandise incorporating the Content.

For clarity, and without limiting anything else herein, the obligations under this section (including the obligation to pay Barstool a royalty of 10% in connection with the sale or other transfer of a Barstool NFT) shall apply to all subsequent transfers of a Barstool NFT and will be binding upon all future transferees. Upon a transfer, the license set forth above under the Display of Content section will immediately transfer to the buyer and terminate for the seller.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK
You agree that there is inherent risk in purchasing, holding, selling and otherwise trading in NFTs and agree to assume all such risk. Without limiting the foregoing, you expressly acknowledge and assume all risks with respect to the following:
- To the extent a there is a price or market for any blockchain asset, including NFTs, such markets and prices are extremely volatile, and variations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of any digital asset(s) you own, such as Barstool NFTs, and there is no guarantee Barstool NFTs will have or retain any value.
- Barstool is known for creating controversy and any controversy that Barstool, or any of its talent, may later become involved in may materially diminish the commercial value of any Barstool NFT that you may purchase.
- A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility or value of any Barstool NFTs.
- The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of services critical to the value or utility of a Barstool NFT.
- There are risks associated with using Internet-native assets (e.g., NFTs, cryptocurrencies, etc.) including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections and/or failures, the risk of malicious software introduction, the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your digital wallet, and the risk that you may forget or misplace the passwords or other information necessary to access your digital wallet, and the Barstool Parties will not be responsible for any of these issues should they arise, however caused.
- Upgrades to the Ethereum or other blockchain platform, a hard fork in the Ethereum or other blockchain platform, a failure or cessation of Ethereum or other blockchain platform, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Ethereum or other blockchain platform may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using such technologies, including without limitation Barstool NFTs.
- The Barstool Parties do not make any promises or guarantees related to OpenSea, any digital wallet provider (including Metamask), blockchain or any other third parties related to an auction or any of their applications and/or services, including but not limited to their continued availability and/or the protection and/or storage of any data you provide to those parties .
- The Barstool Parties are not responsible for any transaction between you and a third party (e.g., your acquisition of a Barstool NFT from a third party or your sale of a Barstool NFT to a third party on the so-called "secondary market"), and the Barstool Parties shall have no liability in connection with any such transaction.
- You accept and acknowledge that the Barstool Parties will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when accessing, storing or using any Barstool NFT, no matter how caused.
