MindShiftMeta Terms of Service

1. Introduction and Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the relationship between you (“you,” “your” or “user”) and MindShiftMeta, a blockchain-based metaverse platform owned and operated by MSM, Inc. and its affiliates, subsidiaries, and related entities (collectively, “MSM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and any other agreements or policies expressly referenced herein, set forth the legally binding conditions governing your access to and use of the MSM platform and its services, including but not limited to the platform itself, the assets created or exchanged within the platform, the games or interactive elements built using the platform’s tools, and any content, functionality, or services made available through the platform (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing, browsing, or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue the use of our Services. You also agree that any disputes arising from these Terms will be subject to binding arbitration, as outlined in Section 11, unless otherwise prohibited by local law.

1.1. Scope of the Services

The MSM platform offers a variety of blockchain-based services that allow users to create, buy, sell, and interact with virtual assets, such as non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), in-game currencies, and land parcels. Users may create content such as games, virtual environments, and digital assets that can be monetized and traded on the MSM marketplace. MSM serves as a decentralized platform enabling ownership and interaction with digital assets in a persistent, evolving environment. 

By participating in MSM, users engage in decentralized technology-based activities with an inherent risk, including the risks associated with the volatility of digital assets, the immutability of blockchain transactions, and potential regulatory shifts affecting blockchain and digital currencies.

1.2 Assumption of Risk and User Responsibilities

By accessing MSM, you expressly acknowledge the following:

• Blockchain Risk: MSM is built on decentralized blockchain networks (including but not limited to Ethereum, Polygon, etc.), which are subject to rapid change and inherent risks. Transactions executed through the blockchain are irreversible once confirmed and may involve risks such as fluctuating asset values, failed transactions due to network congestion, and potential exposure to bad actors (e.g., hacking, theft of private keys).
• Financial Risk: You acknowledge that participating in the MSM ecosystem, including purchasing NFTs, tokens, or other digital assets, involves financial risk. MSM does not guarantee any return on investment, appreciation of digital assets, or stability of asset prices. Digital currencies are inherently volatile, and their value may fluctuate widely within short periods of time. You assume all responsibility for evaluating such risks and understand that MSM is not liable for any financial losses you may incur.
• Technology Risk: MSM is built using various cutting-edge technologies, including blockchain, smart contracts, and decentralized systems. While we strive to maintain high security standards, MSM cannot guarantee that the platform will always be free from vulnerabilities, errors, or disruptions. You assume the risk that your digital assets may be exposed to cyberattacks, technical failures, and security breaches.
• Legal and Regulatory Risk: Blockchain technology and digital assets operate in a legal grey area in many jurisdictions, and regulations may vary or evolve. You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction, and MSM disclaims any liability for actions that may be illegal in your region. Changes in the regulatory environment could impact your ability to use the platform or result in restrictions on the trading or holding of digital assets.

1.3 Acceptance of Terms

By using or accessing the Services in any way, including but not limited to creating an account, purchasing NFTs, land, or digital assets, or using the MSM platform’s creation tools, you affirm that you are entering into a legal agreement with MSM, and you agree to abide by these Terms. This agreement will continue for as long as you use or access the Services, subject to any modifications made by MSM as detailed in Section 3 (Changes to Terms). Your use of the MSM platform constitutes your acceptance of these Terms and acknowledgment of the risks outlined in Section 1.2. If you do not agree to these Terms, your license to use the Services is automatically revoked, and you must immediately cease using the Services.

1.4 Electronic Communication and Signatures

When you use our Services, you consent to receive electronic communications from us, including but not limited to communications regarding updates, modifications to the Terms, and notifications of transactions. You agree that MSM may provide such communications via email, platform notifications, or any other method reasonably designated by MSM. You acknowledge that any electronic agreement, signature, or consent you provide will be legally binding and equivalent to a written agreement or signature. You further agree to maintain accurate and up-to-date contact information for electronic communications.

1.5 International Use

The Services are controlled and operated from facilities within the United States. We make no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. By using MSM outside the United States, you assume all risks associated with complying with local laws and regulations. You are solely responsible for determining whether accessing or using the Services in your jurisdiction is legal, and MSM disclaims any responsibility for users who access the platform from restricted areas. If you are a user accessing the Services from a jurisdiction where blockchain technologies, NFTs, or other digital assets are prohibited or restricted, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and acknowledge that MSM is not liable for any violations you may incur.

2. Eligibility

To access or use the Services, you must meet the following criteria. MSM has the right to enforce eligibility requirements and may, at its sole discretion, suspend or terminate access to any users who fail to meet these conditions.

2.1. Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) to access or use the Services. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

• Parental Supervision for Minors: If you are under 18, or under the legal majority age in your country of residence, you may access and use the MSM platform’s free tools (such as game creation or asset creation tools) only with the explicit consent and active supervision of a legal guardian. In such cases, both you and your legal guardian agree to be bound by these Terms. MSM reserves the right to require proof of parental consent at any time and may suspend or terminate a minor’s account if such proof is not provided.
• Misrepresentation of Age: If you falsify your age during the account creation process, MSM reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account without notice. Additionally, any transactions, including NFT purchases, sales, or transfers, made under a misrepresented account may be rendered void at MSM’s discretion.

2.2. Legal Capacity

You further represent and warrant that you are not prohibited by any applicable law from using blockchain technology, trading digital assets, or participating in decentralized financial ecosystems.

• Entities Represented by Users: If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of a legal entity (such as a corporation or organization), you warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. Furthermore, the entity agrees to indemnify MSM for any violation of these Terms committed by the individual user. MSM is not liable for any misrepresentations made by users claiming to act on behalf of legal entities.
• User Responsibility for Legal Compliance: You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to laws governing financial transactions, cryptocurrency trading, blockchain regulations, and data privacy. MSM disclaims any responsibility for legal violations that arise from a user’s failure to comply with local or international laws. Users who engage in illegal activities while using MSM’s services are subject to suspension, termination, or reporting to law enforcement, as appropriate.

2.3. Compliance with Laws and Regulations

Your use of the Services must comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. This includes but is not limited to laws governing digital assets, data privacy, intellectual property, and consumer protection. MSM reserves the right to suspend or terminate any accounts, transactions, or activities that it believes, in its sole discretion, violate any applicable law or regulation.

• KYC and AML Compliance: MSM may, at its discretion, implement Know Your Customer (KYC) or Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks in certain jurisdictions. By using the MSM platform, you agree to comply with any KYC or AML requirements as requested by MSM. Failure to comply with such requests may result in the suspension or termination of your account and the forfeiture of digital assets.
• Prohibited Transactions: Users are prohibited from using MSM’s Services to engage in any transaction or activity that is deemed illegal under local or international laws, including but not limited to money laundering, fraud, tax evasion, or the trade of illicit goods. Any use of the MSM platform to facilitate illegal activities will result in immediate account suspension, and MSM may report such activities to relevant authorities.

2.4. Restricted Territories

MSM may restrict access to the Services from certain territories where the use of blockchain technologies, digital assets, or NFTs is prohibited by law. This includes, but is not limited to, countries under U.S. sanctions, such as those listed by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

• Representations of Non-Restricted Status: By using the Services, you affirm that you are not a resident of any such restricted territory, including but not limited to those listed under OFAC sanctions or similar international restrictions. You further represent that you are not listed on any U.S. government or international prohibited parties list (e.g., the OFAC list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons).
• Suspension for Sanctioned or Restricted Users: MSM reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Services if it determines that you are accessing the platform from a restricted territory or if you are subject to any international sanctions. In the event of a violation of this clause, MSM will not be responsible for any financial losses, the confiscation of assets, or legal actions taken against you by any government authority.

2.5. User Disqualification for Non-Compliance

MSM reserves the right to disqualify users who fail to meet any of the eligibility requirements outlined in this section. Disqualified users may lose access to their accounts, NFTs, or other digital assets stored on the platform, and MSM is under no obligation to compensate for such losses. Additionally, any benefits, rewards, or features associated with disqualified accounts may be forfeited.

3. Changes to the Terms

We reserve the right to modify, update, or amend these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. Any changes made to these Terms will become binding and effective immediately upon posting the updated Terms on the MSM website or otherwise notifying you via the communication methods outlined in Section 3.1. Users are responsible for reviewing the Terms periodically to ensure they remain informed about any modifications.

3.1. User Notification

Whenever MSM modifies the Terms, we will notify you by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and by posting the revised Terms on our website. In some cases, we may also notify you via additional communication channels, including but not limited to email notifications, in-app alerts, or push notifications to registered devices. MSM will make reasonable efforts to notify users, but failure to receive notification does not invalidate the applicability of the updated Terms.

• Notification Timeline: MSM will attempt to notify users within 14 days prior to significant updates or modifications to the Terms that affect the legal rights or obligations of users. However, for urgent changes, such as those required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, MSM reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice. Users are encouraged to review these Terms regularly to ensure compliance.
• In-App and Transactional Updates: Changes to the Terms may also be communicated during key platform interactions, such as the purchase of NFTs, the use of new features, or the participation in staking or rewards programs. By continuing to engage with MSM’s features after changes are implemented, users automatically accept the revised Terms.

3.2. Binding Nature of Changes

If you do not agree to any changes or modifications made to these Terms, your sole remedy is to discontinue using the Services immediately. Your continued use of the Services after such changes or modifications have been made constitutes your agreement to be bound by the revised Terms. Failure to review updated Terms does not exempt you from compliance.

• Deactivation or Suspension for Non-Acceptance: Users who do not agree to changes may request account deactivation, or MSM may suspend the account until the issue is resolved. If an account is deactivated due to non-acceptance of the updated Terms, MSM will retain the right to suspend access to any assets, wallets, or content associated with that account.
• Opting Out of Non-Material Changes: For minor, non-material changes that do not significantly affect users’ rights or obligations, MSM may implement the updates without providing opt-out options. These changes may include grammatical corrections, feature updates that do not alter user obligations, or formatting improvements. Material changes, such as those affecting fees, payment structures, or the scope of services, will be subject to notification and opt-out procedures outlined above.

3.3. Retroactive Changes

In certain circumstances, MSM may be required to make retroactive changes to these Terms to comply with applicable laws, regulatory obligations, or security requirements. Retroactive changes will be clearly indicated, and users will be provided with an explanation of why the changes are necessary.

• Regulatory Compliance: MSM may implement retroactive changes as part of ongoing compliance with legal requirements, including but not limited to international blockchain regulations, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, or anti-money laundering (AML) laws. If MSM is legally obligated to enforce retroactive changes, users will be given notice but may not have the option to opt-out.
• User Recourse for Retroactive Changes: If retroactive changes negatively affect your use of the platform or your ability to interact with digital assets, you may contact MSM to request assistance or dispute the changes. However, MSM reserves the right to enforce retroactive changes if they are legally mandated or necessary for the ongoing operation of the platform.

3.4. User Feedback on Changes

MSM encourages feedback from users regarding updates or changes to the Terms. While MSM retains sole discretion over the final content of the Terms, user feedback may be taken into account for future revisions. Users may submit feedback or concerns regarding the Terms through MSM’s support channels or community platforms.

• Dispute Resolution for Updated Terms: If users believe that changes to the Terms create unfair or unreasonable obligations, they may initiate a formal dispute with MSM as outlined in Section 11 (Dispute Resolution). MSM will review each dispute on a case-by-case basis and may offer solutions, including reinstating certain privileges or adjusting the applicability of specific clauses. However, the ultimate interpretation of the Terms remains at MSM’s discretion.

3.5. Ongoing Updates to Features and Services

MSM reserves the right to introduce new features, functionalities, or services on the platform, each of which may be subject to new or updated Terms of Service. Users acknowledge that new features introduced on MSM may require additional agreements or acknowledgments in order to use them, and users will be required to accept any additional terms associated with those features before accessing them.

• Beta and Trial Features: Certain features of MSM may be introduced on a beta or trial basis, and the use of these features may be subject to separate terms. Beta features are provided “as-is” without any guarantees or warranties, and MSM reserves the right to modify or discontinue any beta or trial features at any time without prior notice.

4. User Accounts

4.1. Account Creation and Security

To access certain features of the MSM platform, including the purchase, sale, or interaction with NFTs, land parcels, and other digital assets, you must create an account. During the account creation process, you are required to provide accurate, current, and complete information. By creating an account, you affirm that all the information you provide is true and that you will update your account promptly if any information changes.

• Identity Verification: MSM may, at its sole discretion, request that you complete an identity verification process (including but not limited to Know Your Customer (KYC) verification), particularly for certain high-value transactions or access to specific platform features. MSM reserves the right to suspend or limit your account until identity verification is completed. Failure to comply with identity verification requests may result in account suspension or a limitation on transaction capabilities.
• Account Credentials and Responsibilities: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials, such as your username, password, and any private keys associated with your blockchain wallet. MSM is not liable for any unauthorized access to your account resulting from the loss or mismanagement of your credentials.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): MSM recommends enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. 2FA adds an additional layer of protection, requiring a second form of authentication (such as a mobile app or SMS code) to access your account. While MSM encourages the use of 2FA, it is ultimately your responsibility to secure your account through appropriate security measures.
• Password Complexity Requirements: For security reasons, you are required to create a strong password that meets MSM’s password complexity requirements. This typically includes a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Weak passwords may be subject to rejection, and MSM reserves the right to prompt users to update their passwords periodically.

4.2. Prohibition on Multiple Accounts

You are prohibited from creating multiple accounts on MSM unless express written permission has been granted by MSM. This includes creating accounts for different entities (such as personal and business accounts) without informing MSM in advance.

• Multi-Account Detection: MSM uses advanced tools and techniques to detect and prevent the use of multiple accounts by the same individual. If MSM determines that multiple accounts have been created without permission, the associated accounts may be suspended or terminated. Any assets, NFTs, or digital currencies linked to these accounts may be temporarily or permanently inaccessible.
• Business vs. Personal Accounts: If you are operating on behalf of a business or organization, you must create a separate account specifically for business use. Personal and business accounts cannot be merged, and each must comply with MSM’s respective terms and policies. Failure to properly classify accounts may result in suspension or the forfeiture of assets or funds.

4.3. Account Suspension and Termination

MSM reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for violations of these Terms or for any reason at its sole discretion. This includes, but is not limited to, violations of MSM’s code of conduct, unauthorized account access, illegal activity, or any behavior deemed harmful to the platform or its users.

• Immediate Termination: MSM may immediately terminate your account without prior notice in cases of severe breaches, including hacking, fraudulent activities, or repeated violations of platform policies. In such cases, you will lose access to all associated assets, NFTs, digital currencies, and data, and MSM shall not be held responsible for any losses incurred.
• Restricted Access Pending Investigation: In cases where a violation is suspected but not confirmed, MSM may restrict your access to certain platform features (such as the ability to trade, sell, or transfer digital assets) pending an investigation. During this period, you may not be able to withdraw funds or access certain aspects of your account, but you will be notified of the investigation and the timeline for its completion.
• Forfeiture of Rights and Assets: In the event of account termination due to violations of these Terms, you forfeit any claim to the assets or funds held within your account at the time of termination. MSM reserves the right to seize, lock, or redistribute any digital assets or NFTs linked to terminated accounts to rectify the situation or return value to other users impacted by the violation.

4.4. Blockchain Wallet Integration

Your MSM account is linked with your blockchain wallet, which facilitates transactions, asset management, and interactions within the MSM ecosystem. MSM does not control, store, or manage your private keys, and you bear full responsibility for the safekeeping and security of your wallet.

• Wallet Security: MSM strongly advises you to back up your private keys and implement all recommended security measures to protect your wallet. Any loss of private keys, wallet access, or digital assets due to user error is the sole responsibility of the user, and MSM will not be able to assist in recovering lost assets.
• Non-Reversibility of Blockchain Transactions: All blockchain transactions facilitated through the MSM platform are irreversible once confirmed. MSM has no control over the blockchain network and cannot reverse or modify any transaction, even if made in error by the user. Double-check all transaction details before initiating transfers or sales.
• Third-Party Wallet Integration: MSM may integrate with third-party wallet providers to allow users to connect external wallets to the MSM platform. MSM is not responsible for any issues that arise from third-party wallet providers, including but not limited to security breaches, service outages, or transaction failures. Users are encouraged to review the terms and policies of their chosen wallet provider.

4.5. User Obligations and Restrictions

By creating an account, you agree to adhere to all MSM guidelines, policies, and Terms of Service. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in account suspension or termination, as outlined in Section 4.3.

• Account Activity Monitoring: MSM reserves the right to monitor user activity on the platform for compliance with these Terms and to detect suspicious or fraudulent behavior. Users acknowledge that their interactions on the platform may be reviewed, and any activity deemed harmful or illegal may result in enforcement actions, including temporary suspension or permanent termination.
• Reporting Unauthorized Access: You agree to promptly notify MSM in the event that you suspect any unauthorized access to your account or compromise of your login credentials. Failure to notify MSM in a timely manner may result in additional consequences, including the loss of access to assets or data. MSM will take reasonable steps to secure your account once an unauthorized access report is received.

MSM Content is protected under applicable intellectual property laws, including copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret laws, as well as international treaties.

The MSM brand, including but not limited to its name, logo, tagline, and related trade dress, are registered and unregistered trademarks owned by MSM. Any unauthorized use of MSM’s trademarks or branding, including usage that creates confusion among users or implies a false association with MSM, is prohibited.

Users are not permitted to use MSM’s trademarks in domain names, social media accounts, or any advertising materials without explicit written consent from MSM. Unauthorized use of MSM trademarks may result in immediate account suspension or legal consequences.

All third-party trademarks appearing within the MSM platform belong to their respective owners, and any use of those trademarks by MSM is either through license or legal permission. Users are not granted any rights or permissions to use third-party trademarks by interacting with the platform.

6.4 Ownership and Licensing of Digital Assets (NFTs)

The MSM platform allows users to create, purchase, and sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other digital assets within the platform.

Users purchasing NFTs are granted a non-exclusive license to display and interact with the asset within the MSM platform. This license does not extend beyond personal use unless explicitly stated.

When creating digital assets using MSM’s tools, users grant MSM a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to use, display, and distribute these assets within the MSM platform for purposes such as promotion, marketing, and platform development.

If you believe that any content on the MSM platform infringes upon your intellectual property rights, you may submit a claim under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). To do so, you must provide the following information:

• A description of the copyrighted work or intellectual property right that you claim has been infringed.
• A description of where the alleged infringing material is located on the MSM platform.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in question is unauthorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, MSM will take reasonable steps to investigate and, if appropriate, remove the infringing content. Repeated violations of MSM’s intellectual property policies may result in the termination of user accounts and permanent suspension from the platform.

6.7 Third-Party Content and Licensing

MSM integrates and provides access to third-party content, including assets, tools, and services provided by external creators or companies. Such third-party content remains the intellectual property of their respective owners, and users are subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant third-party licenses when accessing or using such content.

MSM disclaims any responsibility for third-party content, including its accuracy, reliability, or compliance with intellectual property laws.

11. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

11.1. Arbitration Agreement

By using the MSM platform, you agree that any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, the use of the platform, or any transactions conducted through the platform will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except where prohibited by applicable law. Arbitration is a process in which disputes are resolved by an impartial arbitrator, rather than a judge or jury, and decisions rendered in arbitration are legally binding and enforceable. This arbitration provision applies to all claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory.

11.2. Initiating Arbitration

To initiate arbitration, the party seeking arbitration must send a written notice to the other party describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), including its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and will take place in Fort Worth, Texas, or a mutually agreed-upon location. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any relief that would be available in a court of law, including injunctive relief or specific performance. Both parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted in English, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding.

11.3. Costs and Fees

The costs and fees associated with arbitration, including administrative fees and arbitrator compensation, will be shared equally between both parties, unless the arbitrator determines that one party is responsible for an undue portion of the costs. Each party will bear its own legal expenses, including attorneys’ fees, unless the arbitrator determines that the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party, in which case the arbitrator may award such fees and costs.

11.4. No Class Actions

You agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the MSM platform will be resolved on an individual basis and not as part of a class action, collective proceeding, or representative action. You expressly waive any right to participate in class-wide arbitration or to join claims with others. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties or preside over any form of class action or collective proceeding.

11.5. Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring claims in small claims court if the claims qualify for small claims jurisdiction. Additionally, MSM may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction if necessary to prevent or stop unauthorized use of its intellectual property, violation of its Terms, or breach of confidentiality.

11.6. Informal Dispute Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting MSM customer support or through other means of communication. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the initial informal contact, either party may proceed to initiate arbitration. Informal dispute resolution is mandatory, and both parties must make a good faith effort to settle the matter without legal proceedings.

11.7. Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. This applies to all users of the MSM platform, regardless of location, and supersedes any conflicting local laws that may apply. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

11.8. Venue for Legal Proceedings

In cases where arbitration is not possible or allowed by law, and where arbitration does not apply to a dispute, any legal action or proceeding related to these Terms, the platform, or any transactions conducted on the platform will be brought exclusively in the courts of Fort Worth, Texas, United States. Both parties consent to the jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objections to venue or jurisdiction based on inconvenient forum or otherwise.

11.9. Statute of Limitations

You agree that any claim arising out of or related to these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose, or it will be permanently barred. This statute of limitations applies to all claims, including claims for breach of contract, tort, and statutory violations.

11.10. Survival of Arbitration Provisions

The provisions regarding arbitration, governing law, and venue for legal proceedings shall survive the termination of these Terms or your use of the MSM platform.

MSM’s total liability to any user shall not exceed the amount paid by the user to access the platform or its services within the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability. In jurisdictions that do not allow for limitations on certain liabilities, MSM’s liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

12.8. No Warranty

MSM provides its services on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties or guarantees of any kind, whether express or implied. MSM makes no warranties regarding the:

• Reliability, accuracy, or completeness of any content, services, or information provided through the platform;
