The following terms govern the purchase of CryptoBeasties card packs during the Presale, and the use of the CryptoBeasties ERC-721 tokens in the future.
Crypto Beasties is a distributed application that runs on the Ethereum network, using specially-developed smart contracts (each, a "Smart Contract") to enable users to own, transfer, and trade unique digital cards, which can then be visualized on a website that the user can interact with (the "Site"). The Smart Contracts and the Site are collectively referred to in these Terms as the "App". Using the App, users can view their cards and use the Smart Contracts to acquire card packs, which each grant the players 3 probabilistically random cards. Playstakes is making the App available to you. Before you use the App, the Smart Contracts, or the Site, you will need to agree to these Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, these "Terms").
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE. THESE TERMS GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE, UNLESS PLAYSTAKES HAS EXECUTED A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOU FOR THAT PURPOSE. PLAYSTAKES IS ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS. BY USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE SITE, OR ANY PART OF THEM, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON THAT ENTITY"S BEHALF, IN WHICH CASE "YOU" WILL MEAN THAT ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN PLAYSTAKES IS UNWILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE.
1. Crypto Beastie Cards
a. Playstakes has used Smart Contracts to manage the initial sale and generation of CryptoBeasties Cards ("Cards"). Playstakes will release a limited number of Cards (and make them available for purchase) on the day Playstakes first launches the App. Card packs can be purchased through the App.
b. During the Presale, customers purchase digital card tokens that entitle them to receive equivalent, non-fungible ERC-721 digital tokens that will be deployed on the Ethereum network in the future.
c. When the game is ready to launch, the probabilities of receiving a cards of a specific rarity will be as follows: Common: 57%; Uncommon: 23%; Rare: 14%, Epic: 4.99%; Legendary: 1%; Phenomenal: 0.01%. During the presale, PlayStakes is offering a subset of the final card set, so the percentages of Rare, Epic, and Legendary cards will be somewhat higher.
2. The App
a. To use the App, you must first install the Google Chrome web browser, or another web browser that is compatible with the MetaMask browser extension. You will need to install MetaMask to purchase cards during the Presale. MetaMask is an electronic wallet, which lets you purchase (either directly via Coinbase if you are in the United States, or via other third-party sites), store, and engage in transactions using Ethereum cryptocurrency. You will not be able to engage in any transactions on the App other than through MetaMask (or other Ethereum-compatible browsers). The App will only recognize you as a user, and you will only be able to interact with the App, if your Ethereum electronic wallet is connected and unlocked through your MetaMask account. There is no other way to sign up as a user, or to interact directly with the App.
b. Transactions that take place on the App are managed and confirmed via the Ethereum blockchain. You understand that your Ethereum public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the App.
c. Playstakes neither owns or controls MetaMask, Coinbase, Google Chrome, the Ethereum network, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the App. Playstakes will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will Playstakes be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.
d. You must provide accurate and complete registration information when you create an account for the App. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete account information about yourself, and to maintain and promptly update as necessary your account information. You are responsible for the security of your account and your MetaMask wallet (and other Ethereum wallets and accounts). If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account with us, you agree to notify Playstakes immediately at info@cryptobeasties.com.
3. Fees and Payment
a. After the CryptoBeasties tokens are deployed as ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum network, if you elect to purchase, trade, or interact with card packs or Cards on the App, or with or from other users via the App, any financial transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the Ethereum network. Playstakes will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor does Playstakes have the ability to reverse such transactions. With that in mind, Playstakes will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the App, or using the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the Ethereum network or MetaMask.
b. Ethereum requires the payment of a transaction fee (a "Gas Fee") for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized Ethereum network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the App.
c. You will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, "Taxes") associated with your use of the App (including, without limitation, any Taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership, transfer, or acquisition of your Crypto Beasties cards). Except for income taxes levied on Playstakes, you: (i) will pay or reimburse Playstakes for all national, federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value added taxes and taxes as required by international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and (ii) shall not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to us pursuant to these Terms.

f. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Crypto Beasties ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Cards.
g. Upgrades by Ethereum to the Ethereum platform, a hard fork in the Ethereum platform, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Ethereum platform may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the ERC-20 and ERC-721 standards, including the Crypto Beasties ecosystem.
