“Connecting Creators with their Communities”

Last Updated: May 2, 2022

THESE TERMS ARE IMPORTANT AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS TERMS & CONDITIONS OF USE PRIOR TO SIGNING UP AND USING OUR PLATFORM. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND THE ARBITRATION PROVISION SO THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Section 1 – Introduction & Consent to Terms.

Welcome to Enshrine LLC, a Delaware corporation’s (referred to herein as “Enshrine”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) Terms & Conditions of Use Agreement (referred to herein as the “Terms”). These Terms set forth the terms and obligations between us, the company owning and operating the Platform (as defined below), and you, a user of our Platform (referred to herein collectively as the “Parties”).

If you do not agree to these Terms, we ask that you please not sign up on our Platform. Signing up and becoming a user of our Platform constates explicit acceptance of all terms found herein.  

These Terms apply to all users of our website, https://www.enshrine.io/ (our “Website”), our mobile website, our Platform, our social media accounts, and any other platforms owned, operated, or managed by Enshrine, now in effect or hereinafter created (referred to herein collectively as our “Platform”).  

If you are using our Platform on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on such entity’s behalf and that such entity agrees to be responsible to us if you or that person violates these Terms.  

Enshrine is not a party to a purchase agreement between the persons or entities posting Listings on our Platform (each, referred to as a “Creator” or referred to collectively as “Creators”) and customers on our Platform (referred to herein individually as a “User” or collectively as “Users”). Rather, Enshrine assists in the facilitation of these transactions. Enshrine makes no representations or warranties about the authenticity or legitimacy of a Listing purchased by our Creators. Enshrine does take steps to protect you from any illegal, immoral, or unethical conduct by our Creators, and we place the responsibility on each of our Creators to ensure compliance with these Terms.  

We reserve the right to modify the contents of these Terms at any time. You agree that it is your sole responsibility to monitor changes to these Terms. Any modification to these Terms will be notated at the top of these Terms and will become active once these Terms are posted on our Website.  

Section 2 - Creating an Account & Eligibility.

In order to become a Creator or User on our Platform, you are required to create and maintain an account on our Platform. You are required to provide us with all required information about yourself and your account, and you may be subject to further verification so that we can confirm that you are the person you say you are.  

Please be aware that certain information you provide to us will be publicly viewable by third parties on your account. This information includes, without limitation, your username, bio, and anything related to a Listing. Please ensure that your content is not in violation of any law or the rights of any third-parties.    

In addition, by agreeing to these Terms and using our Platform, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least eighteen (18) years old; (b) you have the ability to enter into and be bound by these Terms; and (c) your use of our Platform will be in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. You are not permitted to use our Platform if you are under the age of thirteen (13) for any reason. If you are between the ages of thirteen (13) and seventeen (17) you are only permitted to use our Platform with the express permission of your parent or guardian, or through their account.  

You are solely responsible for maintaining confidentiality of your password and account information and are responsible for all activity that takes place on your account.

We reserve the right to refuse or terminate access to our Platform to any User or Creator, in our sole discretion.  

Sometimes we run promotions where you can purchase funds to later purchase items on our Platform. If you purchase funds through our Platform, these funds will be stored on our account and cannot be redeemed for cash and only carry value on our Platform.  

Section 3 – Our Platform, How you Make Money as a Creator, & Payment.

We are a non-fungible token (“NFT”) marketplace. NFT’s are unique, non-duplicatable digital assets that represent the ownership of underlying assets, like music, art, and other collectibles. NFT’s are verified on the blockchain which means that each transaction is verified and authenticated. Our Platform allows Creators to sell NFT’s and Users to purchase NFT’s.  

We offer our Creators three (3) ways to make money on our Platform:  

  1. Initial sale earnings;  
  1. Resale earnings; and  
  1. Resale royalty earnings.  

As a Creator, you control the price of your Listings, as well as many other items, including release date, royalties, number of editions, etc. The exception to this is that we reserve the right to enforce a minimum Listing price, in addition to minimum resale prices for each NFT. We charge a minimum listing price to ensure that we don’t lose money when you use our Platform. The full customization of your Listing can be found on our Platform at the time of creation and is subject to change by Enshrine.  

In order to receive payment from the sale of an NFT featured on a Listing (“Compensation”) you are required to have and keep an active bank account on our Platform. All orders, analytics, and finances will be tracked, managed, and handled on our Platform. If you are a Creator, failure to keep an active bank account will delay payment being made to you. Any such delays will be your responsibility and not the responsibility of Enshrine.  

Payments are not made to you at the time the transaction is processed. Payment of your Compensation for a month will be processed on or about the fifteenth (15th) day of the ensuing month. For example, all Compensation earned in the month of June will be processed via ACH transfer on or about the fifteenth (15th) day of July. Please note that it could take a couple of days for the funds to hit your account, which may depend on a number of factors, including your bank’s processing time. Enshrine is not responsible for delays outside of its control, subject to reasonableness. All of your Compensation for a month will be paid out in one lump-sum payment, less any withholdings by Enshrine (as described below). Sometimes there can be delays with processing payment to you. Time is not of the essence in these Terms with payment processing.  

We cannot guarantee that you will sell any or all of the NFT’s featured in your Listings, or any amount of Compensation per listing, which will be based on many items outside the control of Enshrine, including your listing price, the price a User is willing to pay, as well as the number of Users who purchase the NFT’s sold on your Listings.  

Section 4 - How Enshrine Makes Money.  

Enshrine takes a percentage of each Listing sold or resold.  Enshrine also charges a Platform fee to cover transaction fees and gas fees.  

All fees charged in connection with your use of our Platform will be clearly disclosed prior to you being charged.  

Section 5 – Transactions on our Platform & Terms of Purchase.

All prices shown are in U.S. Dollars. We accept most forms of payment, including but not limited to: cash, check, credit card, and debit card. We also accept payment via certain cryptocurrencies as listed on our Platform, subject to change. Payment via credit card is subject to a three percent (3%) processing fee and is included in the fee Enshrine charges you for the creation, sale, or resale of a Listing.

When you provide a credit card, you represent and warrant that you authorize our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for all charges you incur on our Platform.  

All payments made through our Platform are made through our third-party partner, Stripe. By transacting on our Platform through Stripe, you agree to the full terms of Stripe which will be explicitly agreed to prior to purchase.  

We do not offer refunds of any purchase for any reason. There is no cooling off period and transactions are finalized once completed. Prior to purchasing an NFT on our Platform, we highly encourage you to determine whether or not you can afford the selected NFT as well as other reasonable considerations before making a purchase.  

Section 6 – Categories of Content & Exclusive Listing.

We offer two (2) categories of content on our Platform:  

  1. General content (acceptable for all ages); and  
  1. Mature content (acceptable or only persons above eighteen (18) years old).  

If you are a Creator, you understand and agree that all listings sold on our Platform must be exclusive to our Platform and cannot be sold on any other platforms.  

If we discover that you are selling your NFT featured in a listing on any other platforms, we reserve the right to pull your Listing from our Platform, and, if this happens on more than one occasion, we reserve the right to suspend or ban your account.  

Section 7 – Your Content & License Granted.

You do not transfer ownership of any content you create simply by posting or uploading it on our Platform. All content you post will be and remain owned by you. Enshrine also does not obtain any rights in or to the monetization of third-party platforms you connect to your Platform. By uploading or posting content on our Platform, each Creator hereby grants to Enshrine, a limited, worldwide, nonexclusive, non-assignable, royalty free right and license to reproduce, store, copy, transmit, publish, post, broadcast, display, distribute, adapt, modify, and use your content in connection with our Platform.
