These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you"), and 2040WORLD GAMES PTE. LTD., a private company registered under the Singapore laws and regulations with UEN: 202321917, which is addressed at 10 Anson Road, #20-05, International Plaza, Singapore, 079903 (“we", “us", or “our") concerning your access to and use of the 2040world.io website and the 2040world app as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the “Site" and the “App"). 2040world is a distributed application that is currently running on the Polygon Network (polygon.technology), (the "Blockchain''), using specially-developed smart contracts (each, a “Smart Contract”) to enable users to own, transfer, battle, and breed genetically unique digital creatures. It also enables users to own and transfer other digital assets like plots of land and items.
These assets can then be visualized on a website that the user can interact with (the "Site").
The information on the Site and the Smart Contracts are not intended for distribution to any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, any persons who access the Site while breaking their local laws are doing it on their own initiative and will have to deal with the consequences when applicable.

You hereby waive any moral rights to any such Submissions, and you hereby warrant that any such Submissions are original with you or that you have the right to submit such Submissions.

4.1. The 2040world is not responsible for any breach of security or unauthorized access to your account (the "Account"). You are advised to: (a) avoid any use of the same password with your selected third-party private key manager that you have ever used outside of the third-party private key manager; and (b) keep your password and any related secret information secure and confidential and do not share them with anyone else.
4.2. Access to the Tools is provided via a third-party private key manager selected by you (e.g., a Web3 Provider, Metamask, a USB interface for Ledger Wallet, the Mist browser, or others). Security and secure access to each account in the Tools is provided solely by the third-party private key manager you select to administer your private key. You and the third-party private key manager you select are entirely responsible for security related to access of the Tools and all information provided by you to such third-party provider (including, without limitation, email or phone number)
4.3. You are solely responsible for all activities conducted through your Account whether or not you authorize the activity. In the event that fraud, illegality, or other conduct that violates this Agreement is discovered or reported (whether by you or someone else) that is connected with your Account, the 2040world may suspend or block your Account (or Accounts).
4.4. The 2040world cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your sharing or other loss of your private key or related information or any other damage or loss arising from unauthorized access to your Account.
5.1. You accept and acknowledge each of the following:
▪ The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of any digital assets issued by us (“Tokens”), which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of Tokens will not lose money.
▪ The Tokens are not investment instruments and should not be used for such purposes. We did not obtain any license or approval for their issue, and no authority performed the review of our offer of the Tokens. If our offer of the Tokens contradicts in any way with your local regulations, we hereby prohibit your acquiring and use of the Tokens. We will not bear any liability for your fines, losses, or any other negative consequences due to the violation of your local regulations.
▪ You are solely responsible for determining what taxes apply to your Token-related transactions, if any. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the App, the Site, or the Smart Contract.
▪ The App does not store, send, or receive Tokens. This is because the Token exists only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the App’s supporting blockchain on the Polygon network. Any transfer of Tokens occurs only on the Polygon network.
▪ There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that 2040world will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions, or delays you may experience when using the Polygon network, however, caused.
▪ A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the 2040world ecosystem and, therefore, the potential utility or value of Tokens.
▪ The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the 2040world ecosystem and, therefore, the potential utility or value of Tokens.
