7) NFT Land Keys
The Platform will use location-based keys in connection with the buying, selling or purchasing of digital asset NTFs. Holding a location-based key like a virtual land key enables you to build and utilize the virtual land that the NFT is tied to, especially regarding building rights and things you create on the virtual land.
You acknowledge and agree, with respect to all digital asset NTFs associated with your User Account the following:
- If you sell the key, all rights that come with holding the key are also transferred to the new owner. This includes things you build on the virtual land.
Remember that keys only grant you the permission to build and use the virtual land, but you technically do not own the virtual land. We will respect and honor your building rights and will not revoke your access to it lightly, except from serious violations of these Terms of Use.
It is possible for Theuplift.world to suspend your access or to "reset" your virtual land if you violate these Terms of Use in an obvious way. This means the introduction of any content that is pornographic or aims to offend or discriminate others in an obvious way. We take the right for free speech very seriously, but the Platform is built on the foundation of collaboration and will tolerate no obvious display of discrimination, racism, or anything else that is more than just an opinion but aims to hurt or trigger other people.

11) Inherent Risks of NFTs
Please note the following risks in accessing or using the Platform or the Sites:
- The price and liquidity of blockchain assets, including NFTs, are extremely volatile and may be subject to large fluctuations;
- Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect NFTs, which may also be subject to significant price volatility;
- Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of NFTs;
- NFTs are not legal tender and are not backed by the government;
- Transactions in NFTs may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;
- Some transactions in NFTs shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that you initiated the transaction;
- The value of NFTs may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency or digital assets for NFTs, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular NFT should the market for that NFT disappear;
- The nature of NFTs may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyberattack, and may mean that technological difficulties experienced by Theuplift.world may prevent the access to or use of your digital assets; and
- Changes to Third Party Sites (discussed in Section 12 below) may create a risk that your access to and use of the Platform and the Sites will suffer.
You agree and understand that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks for yourself, and that Theuplift.world does not give advice or recommendations regarding NFTs, including the suitability and appropriateness of, and investment strategies for, NFTs.

28) Notice of Claims of Intellectual Property Violations
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any materials submitted to the Service, the Platform and/or the Site infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Theuplift.world a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site or the Platform are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Theuplift.world to locate the material on the Site or the Platform; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site or the Platform should be sent to [INSERT EMAIL FOR OFFICER FOR CLIENT CONTACT]. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
Please provide all of the information requested above. No specific form is required to provide Theuplift.world with notifications of possible infringement. However, it will take Theuplift.world longer to process your notice if any of this information is not provided, and in some cases, we may not be able to process your notice. Also please note that, due to security concerns, attachments cannot be accepted. Accordingly, any notification of possible infringement submitted electronically with an attachment will not be received or processed.
