A. Digital Collectibles and Tokens

Sad Times digital collectibles (including NFTs, ERC-1155 tokens, and any future token formats) are digital items. They are not investments, securities, or financial instruments. We make no guarantees regarding their future value, utility, or transferability.

Ownership of a digital collectible grants you personal, non-commercial display rights to the associated artwork. It does not grant ownership of the underlying intellectual property, brand, or trademarks.

B. Rewards and Perks

We may offer rewards, discounts, access, or other perks to holders. These are provided at our discretion and may change or end at any time without notice. Rewards have no cash value and are not redeemable for currency unless explicitly stated.

C. The Barn

The Barn is a holder-only section of the site. Access requires a connected wallet with eligible collectibles. We may modify or discontinue The Barn at any time.

D. No Financial Advice

Nothing on our platforms constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. You are solely responsible for any decisions you make regarding digital assets.

E. Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge and accept the risks associated with blockchain technology, including price volatility, smart contract vulnerabilities, regulatory changes, and potential loss of access to digital assets. We are not responsible for losses resulting from these risks.

F. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

G. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sad Times LLC from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of holder-specific features or violation of these terms.
