13. In the event of a challenge by a third party regarding the rights or Licences acquired by Public Pressure in the terms hereof on the grounds that the Artistic Content and/or the Artistic Content NFT infringe the rights of the said third party, the Licensor undertakes to:
  1. supply Public Pressure, as soon as possible and with no unreasonable delay, with all information and documentation necessary to protect Public Pressure’ rights and interests, in particular to establish the absence of infringement or the lack of grounds for the third party’s claim; and

In addition, Public Pressure does not assume any responsibility or liability, nor does it offer any guarantee to the Licensor of the sale of the Artistic Content NFTs within the platform and, therefore, the Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Public Pressure against all claims arising in this respect and regarding any operation or effects related with the minting of Artistic Content.
16. If, at the completion of the duration of the Drop as determined by the Licensor, all of the Artistic Content NFTs have not been sold within the Platform, the unsold Artistic Content NFTs will be transferred to the Licensor’s Wallet.

The Smart Contracts are configured to facilitate the execution of a voluntary User offer, an acceptance of an offer, or other confirmation to purchase, sell, bid on, list, or transfer an Artistic Content NFT. The User acknowledges the risk of Smart Contracts and agrees to be bound by the outcome of any Smart Contract operation by invoking, calling, requesting, or otherwise engaging with the Smart Contract, whether or not the Smart Contract behaves as the User expects.

In the absence of such a Wallet, Public Pressure will not be able to proceed with the attribution of the Artistic Content NFT.
3. Public Pressure will have no liability in relation to such Wallet and will not have access to any private key thereof. You understand that your wallet public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the Platform.
4. Public Pressure, in the process of creation and attribution of the Artistic Content NFT, may make use of third party suppliers.

5. Artistic Content NFTs cannot be returned by the Buyer once they have been credited to the Wallet.
6. Public Pressure does not provide any services, including technical or IT support and assistance. Any possible assistance and support of a technical nature, aimed at a better management of the sale and acquisition process of the Artistic Content NFT, may be provided on a case by case basis by Public Pressure on the basis of its availability, without this implying any form of compulsory technical assistance for the Buyer.
DELIVERY OF THE SERVICES
1. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 and other relevant legislation might apply to contracts where the Seller supplies or undertakes to supply Artistic Content and/or Artistic Content NFTs or any other digital content to the Buyer, within or through the Platform, provided that the latter is a Consumer and pays or undertakes to pay a price.
2. In any case, the Artistic Content NFTs will need to be supplied by the Seller to the Buyer, without undue delay once the contract is in force. This obligation will be complied with when the Consumer has the possibility to download / access the content, physically or virtually.
3. If the Seller does not comply without undue delay, the Consumer will need to make a request to the Buyer for the Artistic Content NFTs service to be provided immediately or within an additional deadline agreed by both parties. Should this not happen, the Consumer has the right to terminate the contract with the Seller.
LACK OF CONFORMITY
1. In case the Artistic Content NFT not being as described, fit for purpose or of satisfactory quality, the Consumer (Buyer) will be entitled to have the Artistic Content NFTs service brought into conformity, to receive a proportionate reduction in the price, or to terminate the contract. The Consumer will be entitled to have the Artistic Content NFTs service brought into conformity, unless this would be impossible or would impose costs on the Seller that would be disproportionate, taking into account all the circumstances of the case including: (a) the value of the Artistic Content NFTs service would have if there were no lack of conformity; and (b) the significance of the lack of conformity.
2. The Seller will bring the digital content or digital service into conformity within a reasonable time from the time the Seller has been informed by the Consumer (Buyer) about the lack of conformity, free of charge and without any significant inconvenience to the Consumer (Buyer), taking account of the nature of the digital content or digital service and the purpose for which the Consumer required the Artistic Content and/or Artistic Content NFTs service.
3. The Consumer (Seller) will be entitled to either a proportionate reduction of the price where the digital content or digital service is supplied in exchange for a payment of a price, or the termination of the contract, in any of the following cases:
  1. the remedy to bring the Artistic Content and/or Artistic Content NFTs service into conformity is impossible or disproportionate;
  2. the Seller has not brought the digital content or digital service into conformity in accordance with the applicable Consumer Legislation;
  3. a lack of conformity appears despite the Seller’s attempt to bring the Artistic Content NFTs service into conformity;
  4. the lack of conformity is of such a serious nature as to justify an immediate price reduction or termination of the contract; or
  5. the Seller has declared, or it is clear from the circumstances, that the Seller will not bring the Artistic Content NFTs service into conformity within a reasonable time, or without significant inconvenience for the Consumer (Buyer).
4. The reduction in price will be proportional to the decrease in the value of the Artistic Content NFTs service which was supplied to the Consumer (Buyer) compared to the value that the digital content or digital service would have if it were in conformity. Where the contract between the Seller and the Buyer stipulates that the Artistic Content and/or Artistic Content NFTs service will be supplied over a period of time in exchange for the payment of a price, the reduction in price will apply to the period of time during which the the Artistic Content and/or Artistic Content NFTs service was not in conformity.
5. Where the Artistic Content and/or Artistic Content NFTs service is supplied in exchange for the payment of a price, the Consumer (Buyer) will be entitled to terminate the contract only if the lack of conformity is not minor.
PERIOD OF PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS (BUYERS)
1. The period of protection for Consumers (Buyers) will not be less than two years from the time of supply of the Artistic Content NFTs, taking into consideration applicable laws, unless a longer period of time is stipulated in the contract by the Seller and the Buyer.
2. The period of protection will be suspended in the case of lack of conformity, and will resume at the moment of proper conformity.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION
1. In the event of termination of the contract, the Seller will reimburse the Consumer for all sums paid under the contract. However, in cases where the contract provides for the supply of the Artistic Content and/or Artistic Content NFTs service in exchange for a payment of a price and over a period of time, and the Artistic Content and/or Artistic Content NFTs had been in conformity for a period of time prior to the termination of the contract, the Seller will reimburse the Consumer (Buyer) only for the proportionate part of the price paid corresponding to the period of time during which the digital content or digital service was not in conformity, and any part of the price paid by the Consumer in advance for any period of the contract that would have remained had the contract not been terminated.
2. In the cases where Public Pressure does not act as a Seller of the Artistic Content NFT, the above provisions shall not apply to the extent that they are not applicable by virtue of its role as a marketplace, provided that the applicable national consumer protection legislation does not state otherwise.
