Gallery Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: December 29, 2025

These Gallery Terms and Conditions describe your rights and obligations as a verified User who uses the Service to create, mint, sell, transfer, or otherwise distribute any NFTs, Collectibles, or other cryptographic assets via the Service (a "Gallery"), and references to "you" or "your" mean the individual or legal entity that creates or operates the Gallery.

For clarity, "Gallery" is a defined term that includes individuals and entities such as artists, artist estate holders, agencies, curators, collectors, photographers, and other verified participants who make available digital works or assets through the Service.

If you are not a Gallery, then only the Terms of Service ("Terms of Service") apply to you. These Gallery Terms and Conditions are "Supplemental Terms" under, and supplement, the Terms of Service. If there is a conflict between these Gallery Terms and Conditions and the Terms of Service, the provisions of these Gallery Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

By signing up for a Gallery Account or otherwise using or accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by the Gallery Terms and Conditions and Terms of Service (together the "Agreement") as of the date of such access or use of the Service. If you are not eligible to use the Service as a Gallery, or do not agree to the Agreement, then you do not have our permission to use the Service as a Gallery.

For the purposes of this Agreement, any capitalized terms used but not defined here will have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Service. The original language of the Agreement is English. We may make available translations for convenience. In case of conflicts between the original English version and any translation, the English version shall prevail.

Digital Original reserves the right to change or modify these Gallery Terms and Conditions at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Gallery Terms and Conditions, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by updating the "Effective Date" date at the beginning of these Gallery Terms and Conditions. By continuing to access or use the Platform and Service at any point after such update, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Gallery Terms and Conditions and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference. We encourage you to review these Gallery Terms and Conditions frequently to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Platform and Service. If you do not agree to the revised Gallery Terms and Conditions, you are free to reject them. Unfortunately, that means you will no longer get access to or use the Platform and Service.

1. GALLERY ELIGIBILITY

To obtain the Gallery's status and access the Gallery's features of the Service, you are required to create an account on the Service (the "Gallery Account"). You may be required to provide any necessary information we may request at any time. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information during registration, verification, and at all other times when requested. We reserve the right to deny, suspend, or terminate your Gallery's status at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to a violation of our Terms of Service or Gallery Terms and Conditions, or failure to provide the requested information.

After creating a Gallery Account, the user shall connect a compatible cryptocurrency wallet to the Service in order to sell Collectibles via a Digital Original-Supported Blockchain. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Gallery Account credentials and are liable for all activities under your Gallery Account. If you suspect your Gallery Account is no longer secure, notify us immediately at [email protected].

When using a wallet in connection with the Service, you agree to the terms of the wallet provider. Digital Original does not operate, maintain, or affiliate with these wallets and has no control over their contents. We are not responsible for any issues related to your use of a wallet and make no guarantees regarding compatibility with our Service. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet and should not share your credentials or seed phrase with any third party. For wallet-related issues, contact your wallet provider directly.

Where applicable, after creating a Gallery Account and successfully completing the initial verification process (if applicable), the Gallery may optionally submit information about associated artists or artist estate holders for the purpose of receiving their consent (including consent to receive royalties, to designate or use a crypto wallet for royalty payments, and any other consents or authorisations required in the course of the process) and crypto wallet authorisation. This process is not mandatory for all Collectibles. In cases where the Gallery itself is the artist or estate holder, the gallery may submit its own information. Upon successful completion of this process, the artist or artist estate holder will receive a blue checkmark displayed on their profile avatar. This badge serves solely as an indicator that certain information has been received by us and does not constitute an endorsement, partnership, or warranty of authenticity. Confirmation of artist or artist estate holders consent and wallet authorisation are not required for listing Collectibles, unless otherwise specified by our platform guidelines or as a condition for certain store categories or features.

2. COLLECTIBLES AND STORE REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Collectibles Requirements

All Collectibles must meet the criteria defined in either the Digital Original or Digital Native standards, depending on the category under which they are submitted. These standards outline the artistic, technical requirements for each type of Collectible.

You are authorized to list, sell, or offer for sale or auction only those Collectibles under the standard Digital Original that have successfully completed our verification process.

All Collectibles listed in any store powered by Digital Original must fully comply with our applicable standards. Collectibles that do not meet the relevant standard will not be eligible for listing, sale, or auction until they are modified and re-submitted for verification.

If your Collectibles fail to meet the applicable standard upon initial review, we may offer optional assistance services to help you revise them to meet the required criteria. These services are subject to a separate agreement and may incur additional fees.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Digital Original reserves the absolute right to delist, hide, or otherwise remove any Collectible from the Service at its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice or liability to you. This may include, but is not limited to, content that Digital Original believes could create legal, financial, or reputational risk for the Platform.

For the avoidance of doubt, the completion of the verification process under the Digital Original standard does not constitute and shall not be construed as a representation, warranty, or guarantee by Digital Original that the person listing, selling, or offering the Collectible is the lawful owner of the underlying artwork or that such person holds all necessary rights, title, authority, or permissions to list, sell, or otherwise exploit the Collectible.

Digital Original does not verify and does not assume any responsibility for the ownership, authorship, provenance, authenticity, or legality of any Collectible listed or sold under either the Digital Original or the Digital Native standard. Any and all risks related to title, intellectual property rights, moral rights, or other third-party claims remain solely with the Gallery and the buyer.

2.2 Selection of the Phygital category

In addition to the selected category Digital Original or Digital Native, you may also choose the Phygital category. Selecting the Phygital category indicates that the buyer will receive both a digital token and a physical object connected to the applicable Collectible directly from you. This option should be enabled by you only if you intend to deliver both components. Shipping details and costs must be negotiated separately between you and the buyer after the purchase is completed.

You acknowledge that Digital Original facilitates only the digital sale and token issuance. The Platform does not assume any responsibility for the shipment, handling, storage, or condition of any physical components. All matters related to shipping, packaging, delivery timelines, damages, returns, or loss of the physical component are handled exclusively between the Gallery and the buyer.

If the buyer claims for phygital, you shall answer on this request within 10 (ten) business days. Upon mutual agreement of the Gallery and the buyer on the delivery terms, including but not limited to the method of delivery, delivery costs, and other relevant conditions, the Gallery shall organize and duly deliver the physical components to the buyer within thirty (30) calendar days, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Gallery and the buyer.

If a buyer fails to provide the required delivery details or does not respond to communication, the Digital Original platform bears no responsibility for any resulting delays or complications.

For any shipping-related inquiries or concerns, the buyer should contact you directly through the contact form available on your storefront.

2.3 Store Page Display Requirements

As a Gallery, you are responsible for ensuring that your store page on the Service complies with the following requirements, unless otherwise authorized in writing by Digital Original:

(a) Retention of Platform Branding and Elements: You may not remove, hide, modify, or reposition any platform-provided elements, including footers, disclaimers, navigation elements, logos, or other components designated by Digital Original.

(b) Mandatory Legal Links: Your store page must include clearly visible and functional links to: Digital Original's Terms of Use and Digital Original's Privacy Policy. These links must be placed in a standard footer location or as otherwise instructed by Digital Original, and must not be modified or redirected.

(c) Attribution and Notices: Any legal notices, copyright statements, or other disclaimers provided by Digital Original must be displayed clearly and without alteration.

(d) Prohibited Modifications: You may not implement any customizations or technical changes that interfere with platform integrity, suppress required disclosures, or mislead users about the source or function of any element on your store page.

(e) Compliance Monitoring: Digital Original reserves the right to audit or review your store page at any time for compliance with these requirements and may suspend or restrict your access to the Service if violations are identified.

3. PAYMENT AND TAXES

3.1 General Payment Provisions

Creating, selling, or otherwise transferring NFTs and the Collectibles embodied therein may be subject to platform fees, commissions, royalties, or other charges payable to Digital Original, as specified in Section 3 of the Terms of Service. All fees and charges payable to Digital Original are non-refundable, except where refunds are required by applicable law or otherwise expressly provided for in the Terms of Service or these Gallery Terms and Conditions. These amounts may be updated from time to time at Digital Original's sole discretion, with or without notice, as permitted by the Terms of Service, these Gallery Terms and Conditions and applicable legislation.

You are solely responsible for all applicable taxes, including but not limited to sales, use, value-added, property, or other taxes and customs duties imposed by any governmental authority, that may result from your activities on or through the Service. If we are required by law to collect or withhold any taxes in connection with your use of the Service, we will notify you of such obligation and will collect the applicable amounts from you accordingly, and you hereby agree to the collection and payment of such taxes.

You are also solely responsible for linking, maintaining, and updating accurate and functional wallet information associated with your Gallery Account in compliance with this Agreement. Digital Original will not be liable for any delay, failure, or inability to transfer or receive funds due to: (a) inaccurate or outdated wallet details; (b) your failure to comply with this Agreement or applicable law; or (c) technical issues or restrictions outside Digital Original's control, including blockchain network failures or third-party provider issues.

3.2 Subscriptions

Certain features or portions of the Services may only be accessible upon obtaining and maintaining a valid subscription ("Subscription"). Subscription requirements, including applicable fees, terms, and access levels, will be disclosed before the purchase of the Subscription.

In general, we offer monthly and yearly Subscription packages.

By selecting a Subscription, you agree to pay us the fees indicated in the terms of such a Subscription. Such fees will be charged on a pre-pay basis on the day you sign up for the Subscription and will cover the use of the features or Services included in that Subscription for the period indicated.

Except where required by applicable law or otherwise specified by us, a payment for the Subscription is not refundable (including payments for the unused part of the Subscription). You agree that once you make a purchase of the Subscription, it is final and cannot be cancelled, and Digital Original will not provide any refunds for the transaction, except where required by applicable law. However, Digital Original reserves the right to provide refunds at its discretion and subject to its published policies.

Please note that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to modify our pricing at any time and for any reason. Any changes to our fees will be communicated by posting the updated rates on the Platform, or by providing notice in another prominent manner. By continuing to use or renew your Subscription after the revised pricing takes effect, you agree to be charged the updated rates unless you cancel your renewal package beforehand.

By submitting your payment card information, you authorize us and our third-party payment processors to charge your payment card for all applicable fees. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your payment card details, billing information, and contact information are accurate, current, and kept up to date at all times.

At the end of the Subscription, your Subscription will automatically renew, and all applicable fees will be charged automatically, unless otherwise specified in the terms governing such Subscription. The renewal period will match the duration of your original Subscription period, unless a different period is disclosed to you on the Platform. You may cancel your Subscription before its expiration in your Gallery Account or by contacting our customer support team at [email protected]. It is your responsibility to be aware of the expiration date of your Subscription.

If you choose to cancel your Subscription, it will remain active until the end of the prepaid Subscription period, after which it will not renew.

If you choose to upgrade your Subscription, you will be required to pay only the difference in fees between your current Subscription and the new one. This difference will be calculated and charged at the time the upgrade is made, and access to the upgraded Subscription will be granted immediately upon payment. If you elect to downgrade your Subscription, the downgrade will take effect at the start of the next Subscription period.

3.3. Subscription Withdrawal Rights of EU and UK Consumers

If you are a resident of the European Union or the United Kingdom and purchase a Subscription, you have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days from the date of purchase, in accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation. You may exercise this right by notifying the Company of your decision to withdraw by means of a clear written statement sent either by post or by email to [email protected].

As the Subscription does not constitute a single item of digital content and the Services are provided on a continuous basis, you expressly request and consent to the immediate provision of the Services upon purchase. Accordingly, if you choose to exercise your right of withdrawal during the 14-day withdrawal period, the Company reserves the right to deduct from any refund an amount proportionate to the Services provided up to the date on which you notified us of your withdrawal. You acknowledge and agree that once the Services under the Subscription have been fully performed, you will no longer have the right of withdrawal.

Any applicable refund will be processed within 14 days from the date on which the Company is notified of your decision to withdraw and will be issued using the same means of payment as used for the original transaction.

You may use the model withdrawal form provided below. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that you send your notice before the 14-day period expires.

3.4 Payment ProcessorWe use third-party payment processors (each, a "Payment Processor") to process payments for Subscriptions. The processing of payments is subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the applicable Payment Processor, in addition to these Gallery Terms and Conditions. Our current Payment Processor is Stripe, and your payments are handled by Stripe in accordance with its terms of service and privacy policy. Digital Original reserves the right to change the Payment Processor at its sole discretion.

By making a purchase, you agree to pay all applicable fees at the prices in effect at the time of the transaction, and you authorize us to charge such fees through the Payment Processor using the payment method associated with your Gallery Account. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our Payment Processor to correct, any errors or discrepancies, even if a payment has already been requested or processed.
