Terms of Sale for Digital Collectibles.

(a)    Eligibility. To complete your purchase of a Digital Collectible, you must have a valid billing address within the Authorized Territories and must currently satisfy all eligibility criteria for establishing a .SWOOSH account. You must also have a current and valid payment method that is accepted by the External Payment Processor. To receive delivery of any Digital Collectible you must have a current and valid External Wallet.

(b)   Restrictions. We may place a limit on the quantities that may be purchased per order, per account, per payment card, per person, or per household. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to refuse service to any customer or reject any order at any time and refund any money you have paid for such order.

(c)    Price. Prices shown on the .SWOOSH Services exclude all taxes, delivery or payment processing charges or other fees (“Taxes and Fees”). Taxes and Fees will be added to the amount of your purchase and itemized on the checkout page. You will have an opportunity to review Taxes and Fees before you confirm your purchase. All prices on the .SWOOSH Services are subject to change at any time without notice. We do not collect taxes on merchandise shipped to a jurisdiction in which we do not have substantial nexus, in which case you will be liable to the appropriate taxing authority for any sales taxes relating to your purchase through the .SWOOSH Services.

(d)   Payment. Unless otherwise specified on the .SWOOSH Services, all payment must be made in U.S. dollars. To complete any Retail Transaction or Marketplace Transaction (collectively, a “Transaction(s)”), you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your payment card number and its expiration date, your billing address, and your shipping information, to us or our External Payment Processors. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any payment card that you submit in connection with a Transaction. We may receive updated information from your issuing bank or our External Payment Processors about any payment method you have stored with us. You authorize us to charge your payment method, including any updated payment method information we receive, for any charges you are responsible for under these Terms. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any Transaction. You will pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the .SWOOSH Services, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including all taxes and shipping and handling charges applicable to your Transactions. In the event that legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses.

(e)   Order Confirmation; Acceptance. You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including payment method and other details of your order. Although we may confirm orders by email, the receipt of an email order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of an order or confirmation of an offer to sell any Digital Collectible. We will display or send a notice when your offer is accepted, and acceptance will be complete at the time we display or send the formal acceptance notice. Payment must be received before our acceptance of an order.

(f)     Delivery. Digital Collectibles will be deemed to have been delivered upon initiation by the seller of the transfer of the associated NFT to the External Wallet address designated by you. You will pay all fees associated with transfer of the NFT to the specified External Wallet. Transfer of any NFT may be subject to delays and complications that are outside the control of Nike. We are not liable for any delays in such transfers.

(g)    No Transfer of Intellectual Property Rights. Transfer to you of the NFT associated with the Digital Collectible conveys ownership of the NFT and conveys the licence rights to the Related Content as set forth in the Digital Collectible Terms. When you acquire a Digital Collectible and the NFT is transferred to you, you do not acquire ownership of the Related Content or any other intellectual property. Ownership of the Related Content and any intellectual property rights in or to the Related Content or Digital Collectible are, as between you and Nike, retained by Nike.

(h)   Order Delays; Cancellation. We reserve the right to delay, refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. For example, if there are errors on the .SWOOSH Services or made in connection with your order or inaccuracies in any Product Description or pricing information or Product availability, we reserve the right to correct the error and charge you the correct price or cancel your order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Occasionally, the manufacture or distribution of a certain Product may be delayed. In such event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule.

(i)      No Refunds or Exchanges. All sales of Digital Collectibles are final. There will be no refunds or exchanges.

(j)      Reservation of Rights. Nike reserves the right, including without prior notice, to limit the available quantity of or discontinue making available any Digital Collectible; to impose conditions on the honouring of any coupon, discount, or similar promotion; to bar any user from making any Transaction; to alter the payment option for any Digital Collectible; and to refuse to provide any user with any Digital Collectible.

(k)    Limited WarrantyNike warrants to the Covered Purchaser(as defined below) that the Covered Digital Collectible (as defined below) will function on the .SWOOSH Services substantially in accordance with the specifications for the applicable Covered Digital Collectible, under normal operating conditions, during the Warranty Period (as defined below) (the foregoing warranty, the “Limited Warranty”). We will honour any Warranty Claims (as defined below) submitted in accordance with this Section 7(k); provided that we may deny your Warranty Claim with respect to a particular Digital Collectible if you are not a Covered Purchaser (as defined below), if the Digital Collectible is not a Covered Product (as defined below), if Warranty Claim is submitted following the expiration of the Warranty Period (as defined below), or if a Limited Warranty Exclusion (as defined below) applies.

              i.            Covered Digital Collectible. This Limited Warranty extends only to Digital Collectibles purchased on or through the .SWOOSH Services (each, a “Covered Digital Collectible”).

             ii.            Covered Purchasers. This Limited Warranty extends only to a purchaser of a Covered Digital Collectible through a Retail Transaction or a Marketplace Transaction (any of the foregoing, a “Covered Purchaser”). This Limited Warranty does not apply with respect to any person other than a Covered Purchaser.

           iii.            Warranty Period. This Limited Warranty starts on the date of transfer of the associated NFT for a Covered Digital Collectible by Nike for a Retail Transaction, or through the .SWOOSH Services for a Marketplace Transaction, to the original purchaser of the Covered Digital Collectible and lasts for one year (the “Warranty Period”). Any Covered Digital Collectible repaired or replaced under this Limited Warranty will be covered by the terms of this Limited Warranty solely for the remaining Warranty Period. The Warranty Period will not be extended in duration, nor will the Limited Warranty be expanded in coverage upon transfer of the NFT associated with a Digital Collectible from the original purchaser to a subsequent owner.

           iv.            Exclusions. This Limited Warranty will not apply: (1) to any failure to function in accordance with the applicable specifications (“Issue”), if the Issue is caused by any act of God, natural disaster, lightening, flooding, tornado, earthquake, fire, power grid or network outage, war, riot or other civil unrest, pandemic, or other event beyond the reasonable control of Nike; (2) if the Issue is caused by any third party network, service, platform or technology, including without limitation any Third Party Materials (as defined below) and any network, service, platform or technology provided by any External Providers; (3) if the Issue is caused by improper installation or operation of the Covered Digital Collectible or any technology needed to operate the Covered Digital Collectible; (4) to any Covered Product purchased or used outside the Authorized Territories; (5) if the Issue is caused by a failure by the Covered Purchaser to implement any correction, modification, enhancement, improvement, or other update made available to the Covered Purchaser by Nike; (6) to use of the Covered Digital Collectible with platforms or services not provided or otherwise authorized in writing by Nike; (7) to any Additional Benefit; (8) to any benefit, attribute, feature, function or Additional Benefit of a Marketplace Product that has been used or consumed by a prior holder; (9) with respect to any Covered Digital Collectible used in a commercial or institutional setting; or (10) to Products other than the Covered Digital Collectibles. Each of the foregoing exclusions is a “Limited Warranty Exclusion.

             v.            Remedies. If at any time during the Warranty Period the Covered Digital Collectible fails to conform to the Limited Warranty and is not otherwise subject to a Limited Warranty Exclusion, as determined solely by Nike, Nike will, at Nike’s discretion, use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Issue or replace the Covered Digital Collectible with a similar product with a similar function (at Nike’s option). The foregoing sets forth Nike’s entire liability and your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of warranty under Section 7 or any other defect or deficiency in the Digital Collectible.

           vi.            Submitting a Warranty Claim. If a Covered Digital Collectible fails to conform to the Limited Warranty and is not otherwise subject to a Limited Warranty Exclusion, please submit a claim by contacting Nike customer service at www.nike.com/help or 800-379-6453] (a “Warranty Claim”). In connection with your Warranty Claim, you may be asked to provide, among other information: (i) your name, company name, address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) a copy of your receipt, bill of sale, or other comparable proof of purchase for the defective Covered Product; and (iii) a written description of the problem.

         vii.            Review of Warranty Claim. Following receipt of your Warranty Claim submitted with required information in accordance with the procedure set forth above, Nike will review the Warranty Claim and determine whether any additional information is necessary. After you have submitted any additional information requested by Nike, Nike will review your Warranty Claim. Nike reserves the right to determine whether or not the Covered Digital Collectible is defective and whether or not the Limited Warranty applies, at Nike’s sole discretion. Nike will provide notice to you of Nike’s decision to try to resolve the Issue or issue you with a replacement product.

       viii.            Disclaimers. This Limited Warranty provides you with certain legal rights, but you may have additional legal rights which vary by jurisdiction. The disclaimer of warranties set forth in Section 19, below, applies to any Digital Collectibles and is part of the terms of sale for the Digital Collectibles. We limit the duration and remedies of all implied warranties with respect to the Covered Digital Collectibles not disclaimed pursuant to these Terms, including without limitation the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, to the duration of this Limited Warranty. Our responsibility for defective Covered Digital Collectibles is limited to repair or replacement as described in this Section 7.

8 .SWOOSH Marketplace

(a)     Generally. The .SWOOSH Services may include access to a marketplace (the “.SWOOSH Marketplace”) on which .SWOOSH Account holders may offer, buy and sell Marketplace Products in peer to peer transactions with other .SWOOSH Account holders. Any Marketplace Product made available for sale on the .SWOOSH Marketplace must: (i) be a Digital Collectible that was originally purchased from Nike, and (ii) be held in an External Wallet.

(b)   Payments. All payments from the buyer to the seller for Marketplace Transactions will be made using the External Payment Processor. For ease of administration by the External Payment Processor, Nike may be identified as the seller or recipient of funds for Marketplace Transactions on your credit card statement. However, the External Payment Processor remits the funds for Marketplace Transactions to the applicable Marketplace Seller (as defined below), not Nike, after deducting all applicable fees and charges payable to the External Payment Processor, Nike or any third parties.

(c)    Custody of Marketplace Products. Nike does not have custody or control over any Marketplace Product that is purchased or sold through the .SWOOSH Marketplace. All Marketplace Products are held in an External Wallet pursuant to agreements between sellers and the applicable Supported Vendor. Nike will not, therefore, be in a position to execute or effectuate any sale, purchases or transfers of Marketplace Products including transfer of associated NFTs.

(d)   Limited Role of Nike. Nike does not make the decision as to whether to purchase or sell any Marketplace Product and is not a party to the purchase or sale of any Marketplace Product (each, a “Marketplace Transaction”) or the agreement between the buyer and the seller. Neither is Nike a wallet provider, exchange, broker, financial institution, money service business, payment processor or market maker. Nike has no responsibility for the ability of a seller to sell or transfer any Marketplace Product or associated NFT, the ability of a buyer to purchase or pay for any Marketplace Product, the processing of any payment for a Marketplace Product, the completion of any Marketplace Transaction or the delivery or return of any Marketplace Product. Nike does not endorse or make any representations or warranties, and will have no responsibility or liability for any Marketplace Product or Marketplace Transaction.

(e)   Marketplace Sellers. A .SWOOSH Account holder that offers or sells any Marketplace Product for sale on the .SWOOSH Marketplace (each, a “Marketplace Seller”): (i) will include only truthful and accurate information in the listing or description of the Marketplace Product (the “Marketplace Listing”) that complies with all rules, policies and FAQs applicable to Marketplace Sellers or Marketplace Listings that are published on the .SWOOSH Services (“Seller Rules”), (ii) will comply with all other Seller Rules, (iii) has committed to sell a Marketplace Product to a buyer upon acceptance of the buyer’s offer through the offer and acceptance mechanisms made available through the .SWOOSH Marketplace for the listing type, and (iv) will transfer the applicable Marketplace Product to the wallet designated by the applicable buyer promptly after receipt of the purchase price for the Marketplace Product.

(f)     Marketplace Buyers. A .SWOOSH Account holder that buys any Marketplace Product through the .SWOOSH Marketplace (each, a “Marketplace Buyer”): (i) guarantees that the Marketplace Buyer has read and understood the Marketplace Listing and these Terms, (ii) knowingly and voluntarily assumes all risks, issues and uncertainties associated with Digital Collectibles, including without limitation those described in Section 9 of these Terms, (iii) will comply with all rules, policies and FAQs applicable to Marketplace Buyers, (iv) has committed to buy a Marketplace Product from a seller upon that seller’s acceptance of buyer’s offer through the offer and acceptance mechanisms made available through the .SWOOSH Marketplace based on the listing type, and (v) will promptly pay for any Marketplace Product that such Marketplace Buyer has committed to purchase through the .SWOOSH Marketplace.

(g)    Product Verification. You are responsible for verifying the scope of licence rights for Related Content under the applicable Digital Collectible Terms, other terms and conditions of the applicable Digital Collectible Terms, the existence and terms under which Additional Benefits (as defined below) may be offered for the particular Marketplace Product, and whether any benefit, attribute, feature, function or Additional Benefit of a Marketplace Product may have been utilized or consumed by previous holders. Nike may, but has no responsibility or obligation to, remove or obscure any Marketplace Listing that Nike determines at its sole discretion to be in violation of these Terms.

9 Other Terms Applicable to Digital Collectibles

(a)    Representations; Warranties; Guaranties. When you purchase or otherwise acquire any Digital Collectible through the .SWOOSH Services (whether a Retail Product or a Marketplace Product) you represent, warrant, guarantee and agree to the following:

              i.            you are acquiring the Digital Collectible solely for consumptive use in connection with the .SWOOSH Services or for your own personal collection, use, and enjoyment, and not for distribution;

             ii.            you are not acquiring the Digital Collectible as an investment and you have no expectation of economic benefit or profit as a holder of the Digital Collectible;

           iii.            you are acquiring the Digital Collectible for your own use and not with a present intention or view to sell the Digital Collectible to anyone else;

           iv.            you will not acquire any equity or other ownership or legal interest in Nike or any other entity by virtue of owning any Digital Collectible;

             v.            you will not promote or portray any Digital Collectible as an investment or an opportunity to obtain an economic benefit or profit (including, without limitation, on the .SWOOSH Marketplace);

           vi.            you have an adequate understanding of the functionality and characteristics of the Digital Collectible;

         vii.            your acquisition and use of the Digital Collectible complies with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including, without limitation, legal capacity, regulatory restrictions and governmental consents;

       viii.            you will not use the Digital Collectible for any illegal purpose or for any kind of wagering, betting or gambling; and

           ix.            you will comply with applicable tax obligations arising from your acquisition of the Digital Collectible.

(b)   Storage of Digital Collectibles. We do not offer a hosted digital wallet on the .SWOOSH Services or otherwise hold, or take custody of, Digital Collectibles for you or any other user. You will be required to link an External Wallet before you will be able to purchase or receive any Digital Collectibles through the .SWOOSH Services. You will be responsible for safekeeping the password associated with your External Wallet and for compliance with the Wallet Provider Terms applicable to your External Wallet. Do not expect Nike to be able to recover Digital Collectibles for you in the event that you lose access to your External Wallet or under any other circumstances.

(c)    Limitations on Transfer of Digital Collectibles. Transfer of a Digital Collectible is effected by transfer of the associated NFT. Notwithstanding anything in the Digital Collectible Terms, Digital Collectibles may not be transferable by you for a period of time after being transferred to your External Wallet. For particular types of Digital Collectibles (for example and without limitation your .SWOOSH ID and other Solebound Digital Collectibles) transfer of the associated NFT (i) to a third party, (ii) to a wallet that cannot be confirmed by Nike as a wallet that is controlled by you, or (iii) from a wallet Nike has specified in which the NFT is to be held, may result in termination of all licence rights hereunder with respect to the Related Content for the applicable Digital Collectible, Nike changing the Related Content so that it no longer displays the original Related Content or any Related Content, or other steps as determined by Nike in accordance with and pursuant to the applicable Digital Collectible Terms.

(d)   Blockchain Protocol; Wallet Compatibility. The Digital Collectibles are currently available only on the Polygon Blockchain. In the event that you transfer a Digital Collectible to a digital wallet that is not compatible with the Polygon Blockchain, your Digital Collectible may be lost, destroyed or otherwise become unavailable to you.

(e)   Assumption of Risk. You assume all risks associated with any Digital Collectibles acquired by you through the .SWOOSH Services, including without limitation the risks described in this Section 9(d).

Like physical collectibles, the price of Digital Collectibles may be subject to fluctuation based upon broader industry trends and sentiment. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of Digital Collectibles. Unlike cryptocurrencies and other fungible digital assets, Digital Collectibles and the associated NFTs are not used to make payments. Digital Collectibles and the associated NFTs are not mutually interchangeable and cannot be divided into smaller parts. These design features limit the usefulness of Digital Collectibles or associated NFTs as a form of payment or substitute for currency. Instead, Digital Collectibles are enjoyed as a collectible digital asset.

Although many users have no interest in parting with their Digital Collectibles, should you ultimately decide in the future to trade or sell your Digital Collectible, you understand that your Digital Collectible is unique, and the value of your Digital Collectible is solely dependent on another person’s interest in your unique Digital Collectible and what that person would be willing to trade for it or spend to purchase it. You understand that the value of your unique Digital Collectible is driven by many factors outside your control and outside our control, such as a buyer’s own connection and affinity with your unique Digital Collectible, the general interest in the Related Content (which can increase or decrease over time), general interest in collectibles (both physical and digital) overall, and many other factors. Given the above factors, you understand there is no guarantee that, should you ultimately want to sell or trade your unique Digital Collectible, you will be able to find a buyer for it or a person to trade with for your Digital Collectible, and if you are able to find a buyer or person to trade with, there is no guarantee that value of what you receive or the price you receive will be higher or lower at any time as compared to what you perceive as your value or what you spent or traded for to obtain your Digital Collectible.

Any future value of a Digital Collectible is not something that we or any third party can control or will attempt to control or influence. We are not responsible for sustained losses due to vulnerability or any kind of failure, abnormal behaviour of software (e.g., wallet, smart contract), the applicable blockchain or other third party service or infrastructure, including External Wallets and External Wallet Providers, or any other features of Digital Collectibles. We are not responsible for sustained losses due to late reports by developers or representatives (or no report at all) of any issues with the applicable blockchain supporting Digital Collectibles including forks, technical node issues or any other issues having fund losses as a result.

(f)     Additional Benefits. Products, content, Promotions (as defined below) or services made available on the .SWOOSH Services (or through other means) may be an “Additional Benefit” (as that term is defined in the Digital Collectible Terms). Per the applicable definition, neither Nike nor any third party has any obligation to provide any Additional Benefit with respect to any Digital Collectible. As such, neither Nike nor any third party will have any responsibility or liability to provide, or for failing to provide, any Additional Benefit to any Digital Collectible holder.

Any digital works of authorship or other content made available through the .SWOOSH Services to a holder of a Digital Collectible that is intended as an Additional Benefit will be identified as such on the .SWOOSH Services or at the time of download. Any such content will be licensed to you for as long as you are the holder of the applicable Digital Collectible pursuant to the terms of any licence presented at the time of download or, if no such terms are presented, pursuant to the applicable Digital Collectible Terms as Related Content for that particular Digital Collectible. Any other digital works of authorship and other content made available through the .SWOOSH Services is part of the Services and no licence rights are granted to you with respect to any such content.

10 Services Available Only to Specific Digital Collectible Owners

Certain .SWOOSH Services may be made available exclusively to the owner of a particular Digital Collectible or a combination of particular Digital Collectibles. You may be required to demonstrate ownership of the associated NFT for the applicable Digital Collectible (and not be in breach of these Terms or the Digital Collectible Terms) in order to access these .SWOOSH Services. Without limiting any other right to terminate or suspend .SWOOSH Services under these Terms, we may terminate your access or use of these .SWOOSH Services in the event that you transfer the applicable Digital Collectible or associated NFT to someone else.

11 Promotions

Any sweepstakes, contests, raffles, surveys, games, or similar promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through the .SWOOSH Services 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 {{agreement:NvsPrivacyPolicy:.SWOOSH Privacy Policy}}.  If the rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms, the Promotion rules will govern.

12 Fees

In addition to any amounts payable to Nike for purchase of Products or otherwise under the applicable Terms of Sale, you agree to pay Nike the amounts set forth on the fee schedule applicable to the .SWOOSH Services as well as any applicable taxes. Any taxes payable with respect to the purchase of any Products or .SWOOSH Services will be reflected on the checkout page at the time of payment. Nike may modify its fees from time to time by publishing an updated fee schedule on the .SWOOSH Services and such updated fee schedule will apply to any Marketplace Transactions or other activities occurring after the updated fee schedule is published. You hereby authorize Nike to instruct any applicable payment processing services provider to deduct amounts payable to Nike from payments made to you and to forward those amounts directly to Nike.

You acknowledge that (a) the use and availability of the .SWOOSH Services is dependent on third-party product vendors and service providers and (b) these Third-Party Materials may not operate reliably 100% of the time, which may impact the way that the .SWOOSH Services operate.

19 Disclaimers

Your use of the .SWOOSH Services and any content or materials provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) is at your sole risk. Except as otherwise provided in writing by us and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the .SWOOSH Services, and any content or materials provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Nike disclaims all warranties with respect to the foregoing, as well as all warranties not set forth in the Limited Warranty for Covered Digital Products or applicable terms of sale for other Retail Products, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, Nike does not represent or warrant that the .SWOOSH Services or any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free or that access to the .SWOOSH Services or any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) will be uninterrupted. While Nike attempts to make your use of the .SWOOSH Services and any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) safe, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that the .SWOOSH Services or any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) or our servers are free of viruses or other harmful components or content or materials. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the .SWOOSH Services and any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials). All disclaimers of any kind (including in this section and elsewhere in these Terms) are made for the benefit of Nike, Nike Parties, and Nike’s respective shareholders, agents, representatives, licensors, suppliers, and service providers, as well as their respective successors and assigns.

20 Limitation of Liability

(a)   To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Nike and the other Nike Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive, special or similar damages or lost profits, even if Nike or the other Nike Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(b)   The total liability of Nike and the other Nike Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the .SWOOSH Services or any Products, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount paid by you to use the affected .SWOOSH Services or for the affected Product, as applicable.

(c)    The limitations set forth in this Section 20 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct of Nike or the other Nike Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

21 Release

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Nike and the other Nike Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favour at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

22 Governing Law

Any Claims will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent pre-empted by U.S. Federal Law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The state and federal courts located in the boroughs of Brooklyn (Kings County) or Manhattan (New York County) in the state of New York, will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Nike waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.

23 Modifying and Terminating the .SWOOSH Services

We reserve the right to modify the .SWOOSH Services or to suspend or terminate providing all or part of the .SWOOSH Services at any time; charge, modify, or waive any fees required to use the .SWOOSH Services; or offer opportunities to some or all end users of the .SWOOSH Services.

You are responsible for compliance with United States export controls and for any export controls in the country where you live, as well as for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports.

26 Miscellaneous

(a)    The failure of Nike to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any of the provisions of these Terms or to exercise any rights or remedies under these Terms will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of Nike’s right to assert or rely upon any such provisions, rights or remedies in that or any other instance; rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect.

(b)   These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements, and understandings of the parties.

Appendix 1 - EU/UK-Specific Terms

If you are based in the EU or UK, these EU/UK-Specific Terms apply.

Section 4(b): Ownership; Licence: Section 4(b) is supplemented with the following additional terms:

If in any proceeding to enforce the perpetual licence grant set forth in Section 4(b) an applicable court or other governmental authority in the EU or UK refuses to enforce the perpetual licence term notwithstanding the provisions of the Terms, then the Terms shall be applied by such court or other governmental authority for the maximum duration permitted under applicable law. If in any proceeding to enforce the waiver of moral rights set forth in Section 4(b), an applicable court or other governmental authority in the EU or UK refuses to enforce the waiver of moral rights notwithstanding the provisions of the Terms, then the Terms shall be applied by such court or other governmental authority so as to ensure that Nike is permitted to exercise the licence rights granted by you without limitation to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 6(d): Product Descriptions: Section 6(d) is replaced with the following provision:

(d)   Product Descriptions. We attempt to ensure that the listings, descriptions, and images of Products, as well as references and links to Products and coupons or discounts for Products (“Product Descriptions”) made available for purchase through the .SWOOSH Services are complete, accurate, and current, but despite our efforts, the Product Descriptions may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Such Product Descriptions and the availability of any Product (including the validity of any coupon or discount) are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures, and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of Products, including the applicable colours; however, the actual colours you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colours.

Section 7: Terms of Sale for Digital Collectibles: The following additional subsections are added to Section 7:

(l)      Your right of withdrawal. Under applicable law in the EEA/UK, consumers may have the right to withdraw from the purchase of certain goods and services (including digital services, software, and other digital content) within a specified period of time, usually 14 days.

However, the right of withdrawal is subject to certain exceptions under applicable law. One such exception is that the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts relating to the supply of digital content, where that digital content is not supplied on a tangible medium (as is the case with the Digital Collectibles supplied by Nike through the .SWOOSH Platform). This exception applies where performance of the contract for the supply of digital goods has already begun and the consumer has consented to the contract beginning straight away.

As such, when you initiate a purchase of a Digital Collectible through the .SWOOSH Platform, you agree to the following terms:

                    i.            you agree that transfer of the NFT associated with the Digital Collectible represents the immediate performance of the contract; and

                   ii.            you acknowledge that you therefore lose the right of withdrawal.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to any Digital Collectibles we have airdropped to you without requiring payment. This is because we consider the performance of the contract to be immediate upon transfer of the NFT associated with the Digital Collectible.

The right of withdrawal is also not available in relation to secondary sales of digital content, so you do not have a right of withdrawal if you purchase a Digital Collectible from another user through the .SWOOSH Platform.

(m) Other Terms.

                    i.            We will not file a copy of the contract between us.

                   ii.            We are legally obliged to supply Digital Collectibles to you in a manner that conforms with the applicable terms of sale.

Section 19: Disclaimers: Section 19 is replaced with the following:

Your use of the .SWOOSH Services and any content or materials provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) is at your sole risk. Except as otherwise provided in a writing by us and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the .SWOOSH Services, and any content or materials provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) are provided “as is” and “as available”.
