TERMS OF SERVICE

1. DEFINITIONS

• "Platform" refers to the Four Paws website, app, and blockchain services.
• "Digital Collectibles" or "NFTs" refer to ERC-1155 non-fungible tokens representing digital adoption of rescue dogs.
• "PAWS Token" refers to the ERC-20 utility and governance token of the Four Paws ecosystem.
• "HAPPY Points" refers to the stable loyalty currency pegged at ₹0.10.
• "User" refers to any person who accesses or uses our Platform.

2. DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES

2.1 Collectible Lifecycle

Each rescued dog deploys its own ERC-1155 contract with a 14-year (168 month) lifecycle. Every month, 12 Common Collectibles are minted.

2.2 Ownership Rights

When you purchase a Digital Collectible, you own the NFT (the token) but not the intellectual property rights to the underlying content. Your purchase grants you:

• The right to display your owned Digital Collectibles
• The right to resell or transfer your Digital Collectibles
• The right to merge your Digital Collectibles into higher-tier collectibles

2.3 Merge Mechanism

Our platform allows users to merge lower-tier collectibles into higher-tier ones according to the following pathway:

• Merge 2 Commons to create 1 Standard
• Merge 3 Standards to create 1 Rare
• Merge 5 Rares to create 1 Super Rare
• Merge 10 Super Rares to create 1 Epic

Each merge consumes PAWS tokens and the NFTs being merged. This process is irreversible.

3. PURCHASE AND PAYMENT

3.1 Purchase Methods

Digital Collectibles can be purchased using:

• PAWS tokens
• UPI payments (for users in India)
• Other supported cryptocurrencies

3.2 Pricing

Common Collectibles are priced at ₹800 (~$10) each. Higher tier collectibles can only be created through the merge mechanism.

3.3 Refunds

Due to the nature of blockchain transactions, all purchases are final and non-refundable.

4. USER RESPONSIBILITIES

As a user of our platform, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information when creating an account

6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

OUR PLATFORM AND DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT OUR PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
