An Originator under these terms is any party that wants to sell an NFT they originally created and/ or own on Nuqtah’s marketplace under their name and responsibility.
- Content. All content on the Nuqtah Platform is created by Originators. Nuqtah makes no representations or warranties as to the quality, origin, or ownership of any content found in the Marketplace. Nuqtah shall not be liable for any errors, misrepresentations, or omissions in, of, and about, the content, nor for the availability of the content. Nuqtah shall not be liable for any losses, injuries, or damages from the purchase, inability to purchase, display, or use of content.

In the absence of an express legal agreement between the Originator of a NFT and purchasers of the NFTs, there cannot be any guarantee or assurance that the purchase or holding of the NFTs confers any license to or ownership of the NFTs and it’s Metadata or other intellectual property associated with the NFTs or any other right or entitlement.

Once the artwork (NFT) is on the blockchain, and when a purchase is made, a later minting stage will Marketplacely, meaning the minting fees will be added to the original price set by the Originator, and the buyer will pay for it.
The NFT will be transferred to the buyer's wallet, and ownership will be registered on the blockchain to the buyer.

- Certain Uses and Risks of Blockchain Technology.
Use of Blockchain Technology. Nuqtah utilizes experimental cryptographic technologies and blockchain technologies, including tokens, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, “smart contracts,” consensus algorithms, voting systems and distributed, decentralized or peer-to-peer networks or systems in performing the Marketplace. Each User acknowledges and agrees that such technologies are novel, experimental, and speculative, and that therefore there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation and effects and risks thereof and the application of existing law thereto.
Certain Risks of Blockchain Technology. The technology utilized in delivering the Marketplace depends on public peer-to-peer networks such as Ethereum that are not under the control or influence of Nuqtah and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. Such technologies include the Nuqtah System, which Nuqtah may have limited or no ability to change, other than ceasing to support certain “smart contracts” and adding support for new “smart contracts”. Users are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with the blockchain address used to participate in the Marketplace. Nuqtah will not be able to restore or issue any refund in respect of any NFTs due to lost private keys. If a user is not able to spend or use an NFT due to loss or theft of the corresponding private key or otherwise, a user will be unable to exercise their
rights with respect to such NFTs.
Certain Risks of Smart Contract Technology. NFTs, and other digital assets relevant to the Nuqtah Platform depend on the Nuqtah System or other smart contracts deployed to Ethereum, some of which may be coded or deployed by persons other than Nuqtah. Once deployed to Ethereum, the code of smart contracts, including the Nuqtah System, cannot be modified. In the event that the Nuqtah System or other smart contracts are adversely affected by malfunctions, bugs, defects, malfunctions, hacking, theft, attacks, negligent coding or design choices, or changes to the protocol rules of Ethereum, users may be exposed to a risk of total loss and forfeiture of all NFTs, and other relevant digital assets. Nuqtah assumes no liability or responsibility for any of the foregoing matters, except as otherwise expressly provided by these Terms or required by applicable law.
Asset Prices. The fiat-denominated prices and value in public markets of assets such as ETH and NFTs, have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile. As relatively new products and technologies, blockchain-based assets are not widely accepted as a means of payment for goods and services. A significant portion of demand for these assets is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short- or long-term holding of blockchain assets. The market value of any ETH, NFT, may decline below the price for which a user acquires such asset through the Nuqtah Platform or on any other platform. Users acknowledge and agree that the costs and speeds of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Ethereum are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time, resulting in prolonged inability to access or use any ETH, NFTs, or other digital assets associated with the Nuqtah Platform.
Regulatory Uncertainty. Blockchain technologies and digital assets are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties, and the Nuqtah Platform, NFTs, could be adversely impacted by one or more regulatory or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines or judgments, which could impede or limit the ability of the user to continue the use and enjoyment of such assets and technologies.
Cryptography Risks. Cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to Ethereum, the Nuqtah Platform and NFTs, including the theft, loss or inaccessibility thereof.
Fork Handling. Ethereum, the Nuqtah System and the NFTs, may be subject to “forks.” Forks occur when some or all persons running the software clients for a particular blockchain system adopt a new client or a new version of an existing client that: (i) changes the protocol rules in backwards-compatible or backwards-incompatible manner that affects which transactions can be added into later blocks, how later blocks are added to the blockchain, or other matters relating to the future operation of the protocol; or (ii) reorganizes or changes past blocks to alter the history of the blockchain. Some forks are “contentious” and thus may result in two or more persistent alternative versions of the protocol or blockchain, either of which may be viewed as or claimed to be the legitimate or genuine continuation of the original. Nuqtah may not be able to anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks, and does not assume any risk, liability or obligation in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Nuqtah does not assume any responsibility to notify a user of pending, threatened or
completed forks. Nuqtah will respond to any forks as Nuqtah determines in its sole and absolute discretion, and Nuqtah shall not have any duty or obligation or liability to a User if such response (or lack of such response) acts to a user detriment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Nuqtah’s possible and permissible responses to a fork may include: (i) honoring the Nuqtah System and NFTs, on both chains; (ii) honoring the Nuqtah System and NFTs on only one of the chains; (iii) honoring the Nuqtah System and NFTs in different respects or to a different extent on both chains; or (iv) any other response or policy or procedure, as determined by Nuqtah in its sole and absolute discretion. Nuqtah reserves the right to only allow one NFT to be associated with the relevant metadata forming the NFTs, notwithstanding that copies of such NFT.
