These Terms and Conditions ("Terms", "Terms and Conditions") govern your relationship with Pixchange mobile application, desktop application, and website (the "Service") operated by Pixchange GmbH ("us", "we", or "our").

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using our Pixchange mobile application (the "Service").
Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms then you may not access the Service.
Purchases and Transactions

If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Service ("Purchase"), you will use your App Store account. Therefore, you will be asked to provide the related information including, without limitation, your name and your email address connected to your App Store account. In case receiving payment for any product or service made available through the Service marketplace via Paypal would be an option, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your name, and your email address connected to your Paypal account. If you are using the wire transfer system Sepa for receiving your payments, then Pixchange will store the related and necessary information to wire the money from its bank account to yours, such as your bank account number and address. In such case, as per GDPR and other related law and regulations, Pixchange will store the private information in a separate encrypted database, and Pixchange will guarantee that this private information is not shared with any 3rd parties.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use the App Store for your purchases related to the Service or Paypal or Sepa in connection with any financial transaction; and that (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete. 

By submitting such information, you grant us the right to provide the information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of Purchases.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time for certain reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order or other reasons.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorised or illegal transaction is suspected.
Availability, Errors and Inaccuracies

We are constantly updating our offerings of products and services on the Service. The products or services available on our Service may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Service and in our advertising on other web sites.
We cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability, and services. We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.

Contests, Sweepstakes and Promotions

Any contests, sweepstakes or other promotions (collectively, "Promotions") made available through the Service may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules as well as our Privacy Policy. If the rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms, the Promotion rules will apply.
Subscriptions
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set on a annual basis.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Pixchange GmbH cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting Pixchange GmbH customer support team.
A valid payment method, via the App Store, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Pixchange GmbH with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Pixchange GmbH to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Pixchange GmbH will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.

Fee Changes

Pixchange GmbH, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.
Pixchange GmbH will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.
Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Refunds

Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.

You may be held accountable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) for misrepresenting that any Content is infringing your copyright.

Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content (excluding Content provided by users), features and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of Pixchange GmbH and its licensors. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the Switzerland and foreign countries. Our trademarks and trade dress may not be used in connection with any product or service without the prior written consent of Pixchange GmbH.

Artist “Pro Account” Terms of Use

A user who sells content on Pixchange must register a “Pro Account” and is considered an “Artist”. The Artist receives commission-based payment for their images and videos (referred to as “creations”).
Payment Conditions: For every sale of a creation, the Artist receives 70% of the sale price in Pixcoins. One Pixcoin has a fixed value at 2 cents USD. Payouts are sent in USD, Euros, or Yen at the mid-market exchange rate that is valid on the payment date. Payout payment is available via Paypal worldwide (transfer in USD, Euros, or Yen). The Paypal Payout transfer fee is 2%, and additional Paypal fees, including but not exclusively cross-border and exchange rate fees (when not receiving currency in USD, Euros, or Yen) are at the cost of Artist. Payout payment in European countries is available via SEPA (in Euros only) or Paypal (all currencies). Pixchange pays transfer costs to your European bank account, but your bank may also charge you fees to receive a SEPA payment depending on your country of residence. These fees tend to be much less than Paypal, and we encourage European Artists to select this option.

The Artist must wait 30 days after registration to cash out his coins. A minimum amount of 2 dollars USD is needed to request a payout. Payment will be executed within 20 working days of requesting a payout from Pixchange.

Copyright Infringement: If an Artist attempts to infringe on Copyright laws and sell someone else’s content, he is then subject to legal prosecution and will be legally responsible for refunding all monetary gains to the rightful Artist.
User Responsibility: The Artist is responsible to report his earnings in his country or residence. The Artist is responsible to enter the correct payment information. If he enters an inaccurate payment information, and the transfer is executed, Pixchange has no liability as Pixchange cannot objectively determine if this was done erroneously or not.
Avatar Cam App: Terms of Use

The Avatar Cam desktop app is an extension of the Service in which the user can create videos or stream an animated avatar that mimics your body movements. You can buy and sell avatar and scene components, but must use the main App or website to cash out your earnings.

Studio App: Terms of Use

The Studio app is an extension of the Service in which the user can create videos with an animated avatar, face masks, 3D models, and filters. You can buy and sell all these components in the Studio, but must use the main App or website to cash out your earnings.

NFT Marketplace: Terms of Use

The NFT Marketplace is an optional feature in the Service (website and App) where you can mint your content into a semi-fungible or non-fungible token on the Polygon blockchain. At the moment, we only transfer newly minted content to the Metamask wallet. The Metamask wallet was selected as it has become an industry-leader for security and reliability in web3. We pay gas fees to mint your content, but have no ownership nor control over your content once it was been minted. In other words, you are free to buy, sell, transfer, or even burn your NFTs to another wallet, or user in any web3 platform like Rarible or OpenSea. Your content is visible on web3 platforms that support Polygon within minutes after minting it. Your metadata is optimised so that higher quality images and videos of your NFT are displayed on 3rd Party sites. Your NFT metadata is stored on AWS S3.

Due to the decentralised nature of blockchain, we cannot help you recover stolen or lost NFTs, so please be very careful when you start to trade on blockchain outside our marketplace. We will never ask you for access to your Metamask wallet to execute any type of transaction. Wallets can receive NFTs sent to their unique address by default which is how we transfer your newly minted NFTs to your wallet.

Links To Third-Party Services

Our Service contains links to third-party mobile applications or services that are not owned or controlled by Pixchange GmbH.
Pixchange GmbH has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party mobile applications or services. You further acknowledge and agree that Pixchange GmbH shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such web sites or services.
We strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the image API services of Giphy, Sticker Pop, Unsplash, Sketchfab, and Deviant Art.

If you have connected a Metamask wallet to store your NFTs we strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies as well as best practice on how to safeguard your NFTs on blockchain. Never share your wallet password with anyone. We will never ask you for your wallet password.

Termination

In no event shall Pixchange GmbH, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; (iii) any content obtained from the Service; and (iv) unauthorized access, use or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Service.
