By accessing, browsing, connecting a wallet to, or otherwise using the Services, you (“you”, “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

2. Definitions

For the purpose of these Terms:

  • • “Content” means any material (including images, videos, audio, text, metadata, and other works) uploaded, submitted, or displayed on or through the Platform.

  • • “Wallet” means a compatible digital wallet (e.g. MetaMask or other EVM-compatible wallets) that you connect to the Platform to interact with NFTs or payments.

  • • “Blockchain” means the public blockchain network(s) on which NFTs supported by the Platform are minted and transacted.

3. Eligibility

3.1 Age

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

3.2 Jurisdiction and legality

You may use the Services only if you reside in a jurisdiction where the purchase, sale, and ownership of NFTs and related digital assets are legal. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that your use complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

3.3 Legal capacity

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity and authority to enter into a binding contract with Maille and to use the Services in accordance with these Terms.

4. Scope of Services

4.1 Platform function

Piece Mode provides a digital platform enabling Users to:

  • • Discover, view, and interact with NFTs and related Content.

  • • Connect supported Wallets to claim, purchase, or transfer NFTs.

  • • For Creators, upload or submit Content to be associated with NFTs (including unique or limited pieces) and offered to fans or collectors.

4.2 No custody, no brokerage

Maille does not take custody of your NFTs or funds held in your Wallet, does not act as your broker, advisor, or agent, and does not guarantee execution of any transaction beyond the technical operation of the Platform.

4.3 No financial, investment, or legal advice

Information on the Platform is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. It does not constitute investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. You are solely responsible for your decisions.

5. Account Registration and Wallet Connection

5.1 Account or wallet-based access

Certain features may require creation of an account or connection of a compatible Wallet. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information and to keep such information updated.

5.2 Security of credentials

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any login credentials and for securing your Wallet and private keys. Any activity under your account or Wallet connection is deemed to be carried out by you.

5.3 Notification of unauthorized use

If you suspect any unauthorized access or use of your account or Wallet in connection with the Platform, you must notify us promptly using the contact details provided on the website.

6. Blockchain, Wallets, and Technical Risks

6.1 Independent blockchain networks

NFTs transacted via the Platform exist on public blockchain networks that are not under Maille’s control. Blockchain operations are subject to network congestion, failures, forks, and other technical events.

6.2 Wallet responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

  • • Choosing and maintaining a compatible Wallet;

  • • Safeguarding private keys, seed phrases, and any security measures;

  • • Ensuring correct transaction details (recipient address, amounts, gas settings).

6.3 Irreversibility of transactions

Transactions executed on the blockchain are typically irreversible. Maille cannot alter, reverse, or refund on-chain transactions once they have been broadcast or confirmed.

7. NFTs: Minting, Claiming, Reveal, and Metadata

7.1 Minting and claiming

The Platform may enable Users to mint, claim, or purchase NFTs, including via “drop” or “claim” mechanisms and deliberate reveal structures. By participating, you acknowledge that:

  • • NFT allocation (including token IDs) may be sequential or random depending on contract design.

  • • You may not be able to choose a specific token ID or individual NFT at the time of mint or claim.

7.2 Delayed reveal and surprise mechanics

Some NFTs may use a delayed reveal or placeholder metadata model. In such cases:

  • • Visual media, name, attributes, and other metadata may be hidden or presented as generic placeholders until a reveal event is triggered by authorized parties.

  • • You acknowledge that you are purchasing or claiming NFTs without full ex ante knowledge of specific visual appearance or rarity.

7.3 Metadata changes and updates

Within limits allowed by the underlying smart contracts, Creators or Maille may update or correct metadata (including descriptive text, images, or traits) for technical, artistic, or compliance reasons. We will use reasonable efforts to preserve the integrity of the project concept, but do not guarantee that metadata will never change.

7.4 No guarantee of value or rarity

Maille does not guarantee:

  • • Any specific rarity distribution or future market value of NFTs.

  • • Liquidity, resale opportunities, or listing on any marketplace. NFTs are inherently speculative digital assets, and your purchase or claim is at your own risk.

8. Payments, Fees, and Taxes

8.1 Pricing and currency

NFTs and services may be priced in cryptocurrency or, where applicable, in fiat currency. Prices, accepted currencies, and applicable fees will be disclosed in the interface at the time of transaction.

8.2 Gas fees and transaction costs

You are responsible for paying any gas fees or network transaction fees required by the blockchain for minting, claiming, or transferring NFTs.

8.3 Platform and creator fees

Maille may charge platform fees or commissions on NFT sales or claims. Creators may set their own prices and royalties. All such fees will be disclosed as part of the transaction flow where reasonably possible.

8.4 Taxes

You are solely responsible for determining, reporting, and paying any taxes arising from your use of the Services, including NFT purchases, sales, or income from Creator activity, in accordance with your local laws.

8.5 Refunds

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in a specific offer, all NFT sales and claims are final and non-refundable, subject only to mandatory consumer protection laws that may apply.

9. Creator Content and Licensing

9.1 Ownership of Creator Content

Creators retain ownership of the underlying intellectual property in their Content, subject to any separate agreements they may enter into with Maille or third parties.

9.2 License granted to Maille

  • • Host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute the Content in connection with the Services;

  • • Use and adapt the Content for purposes of minting, promoting, and operating NFT drops and related features.

9.3 License granted to Buyers

The purchase or claim of an NFT generally conveys:

  • • Ownership of the token itself and the right to display the associated Content for personal use, social media, and in connection with resale;

  • • Unless otherwise specified, it does not convey ownership of underlying copyrights or trademarks. Any additional commercial license or rights must be expressly stated in the NFT’s project description or a separate written agreement.

9.4 Creator representations and warranties

Creators represent and warrant that:

  • • They have all necessary rights and permissions to upload and tokenize the Content.

  • • The Content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.

if we believe that you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or harmed the integrity of the Platform or other Users.

Where liability cannot be fully excluded under mandatory law, it shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted, and in no case exceed the amount of fees you have paid to Maille for the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
