Description of Platform

Alexandria Labs provides the Platform for authors ("Authors") and collectors ("Collectors") to sell, purchase, list for auction, make offers on, and bid on (each, a "Transaction") Digital Assets (as defined below).

Smart-Contract Enabled. "Digital Asset" on the Platform refers to a non-fungible Ethereum- based token that uses smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain ("Smart Contracts"). The Ethereum blockchain provides an immutable ledger of all transactions that occur on the blockchain. This means that all Digital Assets are outside of the control of any one party, including Alexandria Labs, and is subject to many risks and uncertainties. We neither own nor control MetaMask, Coinbase, Magic Wallet, Crossmint, the Ethereum network, your browser, or any other third party site, product, technology, marketplace or service that you might access, visit, or use ("Third-Party Services") for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the Platform. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties. You understand that your Ethereum public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a Transaction on the Platform.

Noncustodial. While Alexandria Labs offers a marketplace for Digital Assets, it does not buy, sell, or ever take custody or possession of any Digital Asset as agent of any User. The Platform facilitates User collection of Digital Assets, but neither Alexandria Labs nor the Platform are custodians of any Digital Asset on behalf of any User. You agree and acknowledge that the Smart Contracts do not give Alexandria Labs custody, possession, or control of any of your Digital Assets or cryptocurrency at any time for the purpose of facilitating transactions on the Platform. You affirm that you are aware and acknowledge that Alexandria Labs is a non-custodial service provider and has designed the Platform to be directly accessible by the Users without any involvement or actions taken by Alexandria Labs or any third-party. As a marketplace, Alexandria Labs cannot make any representation or guarantee that Authors or Users will achieve any particular outcome as the result of listing their Digital Assets or engaging in any other Transaction on the Platform.

Copyright Complaints

DMCA: Alexandria Labs respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our Users to do the same. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify Alexandria Labs of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.

Alexandria Labs will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property Laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to Alexandria Labs's Copyright Agent at team@alexandriabooks.com (Subject line: "DMCA Takedown Request").

To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information:

  • an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
  • a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
  • a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Platform, with enough detail that we may find it on the Platform;
  • your address, telephone number, and email address;
  • a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or Law; and
  • a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf.

Counter-Notice: If you believe your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to Law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  • a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
  • your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within Northern District of California and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Alexandria Labs will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable Law, Alexandria Labs has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at Alexandria Labs's sole discretion, Users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. Alexandria Labs may also at its sole discretion (i) limit access to the Platform and/or terminate the memberships of any Users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement and (ii) terminate any Collector License related to a DMCA takedown notice.

Cooperation with Alexandria Labs: Author expressly agrees to refund to the Collector and/or Alexandria Labs, at Alexandria Labs's direction, the entire portion of Fees (as defined below) received from the sale of any Digital Assets that was subsequently removed from the Platform pursuant to an effective DMCA request to which the Author failed to timely submit an effective DMCA Counternotification. Alexandria Labs will not be held liable to any User for removing allegedly infringing works from the Platform or otherwise fulfilling its legal obligations under the DMCA.

Authors, Collectors, and all Users expressly agree to cooperate and timely respond to Alexandria Labs's investigations, requests, and inquiries related to DMCA disputes or allegations of infringement.

Fees and Payment.

Alexandria Labs does not generally collect any fees, commissions, or royalties for transactions occurring outside of the Platform. Users irrevocably releases, acquits, and forever discharges Alexandria Labs and its Affiliates and its and their officers and successors of any liability for royalties, fines, or fees not received from any transaction outside of the Platform.

All transactions on the Platform, including without limitation minting, tokenizing, bidding, listing, offering, purchasing, or confirming, are facilitated by Smart Contracts existing on the Ethereum network. The Ethereum network requires the payment of a transaction fee (a "Gas Fee") for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network, and thus every transaction occurring on the Platform. The value of the Gas Fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of the control of Alexandria Labs. The User acknowledges that under no circumstances will a contract, agreement, offer, sale, bid, or other transaction on the Platform be invalidated, revocable, retractable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable.

You may be required to provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to Alexandria Labs that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with Alexandria Labs or the Payment Processor (as defined below), as applicable, of any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALEXANDRIA LABS DOES NOT PROCESS PAYMENT FOR THE PLATFORM. To facilitate payment for the Platform via bank account, credit card, or debit card, we use third-party payment processors (collectively, "Payment Processors"). These payment processing services are provided by the Payment Processors and are subject to the applicable Payment Processor's terms and conditions, privacy policy, and all other relevant agreements (collectively, the "Payment Processor Agreements"). By agreeing to these Terms, Users that use the payment functions of the Platform also agree to be bound by the applicable Payment Processor Agreement for the payment function the user is using, as the same may be modified by the applicable Payment Processor from time to time. You hereby authorize the applicable Payment Processor to store and continue billing your specified payment method even after such payment method has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for your use of the Platform. Please contact the applicable Payment Processor for more information. Alexandria Labs assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through the Platform.

Taxes. Users are responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority, "associated with your use of the Platform (including, without limitation, any taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership, transfer, purchase, sale, or creation of any artworks).

Beta Platforms. Certain features on the Platform may be offered while still in "beta" form ("Beta Platforms"). Alexandria Labs will utilize best efforts to identify the Beta Platforms by labeling on its Platform. By accepting these Terms or using the Beta Platforms, you understand and acknowledge that the Beta Platforms are being provided as a "beta" version and made available on an "as is" or "as available" basis. The Beta Platforms may contain bugs, errors, and other problems. YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS AND ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE OF THE BETA PLATFORMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INTERNET ACCESS FEES, BACK-UP EXPENSES, COSTS INCURRED FOR THE USE OF YOUR DEVICE AND PERIPHERALS, AND ANY DAMAGE TO ANY EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, INFORMATION OR DATA.

Other Legal Terms

Indemnity and Release: You agree to release, indemnify and hold Alexandria Labs and its Affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agents (collectively, "Indemnitees") harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform, any User Content, your connection to the Platform, your violation of these Terms or your violation of any rights of another. You further agree that Alexandria Labs shall have control of the defense or settlement of any third party claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnitee from or against any liability, losses, damages or expenses incurred as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

  • Agreement to Arbitrate
    This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the "Arbitration Agreement." You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Alexandria Labs, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Platforms, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the Law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Alexandria Labs are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

  • Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
    YOU AND ALEXANDRIA LABS AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ALEXANDRIA LABS AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON **'** S OR PARTY **'** S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY **'** S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

  • Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
    Alexandria Labs is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by emailing customer support at team@alexandriabooks.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Alexandria Labs should be sent to 188 Grand St. Unit #274, New York, NY 10013 ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Alexandria Labs and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Alexandria Labs may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Alexandria Labs or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Alexandria Labs is entitled.

  • Arbitration Procedures
    Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA's consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/ as may be updated from time to time. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable Law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless Alexandria Labs and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Alexandria Labs agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

  • Costs of Arbitration
    Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the "Arbitration Fees") will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Alexandria Labs will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Alexandria Labs will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Alexandria Labs will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys' fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

  • Confidentiality
    All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

  • Severability
    If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

  • Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
    Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, Alexandria Labs agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a User of the Platform, you may reject any such change by sending Alexandria Labs written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
