Such Virtual Items may be modified, replaced, altered or removed by Dacoco at any time under Section 10 of this Agreement, whether or not they were purchased for consideration or obtained as part of the gameplay.
6.2 Trilium
Dacoco may from time to time offer "Trilium" for purchase or as an award for certain achievements within Alien Worlds' gameplay in accordance with the procedures and further terms specified within Dacoco's sole discretion. Units of Trilium may be issued as tokens issued on the WAX Blockchain or otherwise as Blockchain based tokens and may used to pay for certain other Virtual Items, advantages and services within or in connection with Alien Worlds, as may be offered from time to time. Trilium may be purchased within the Services using a credit card (or other payment means accepted by us, such as a debit card, prepaid payment card, or a promotional code or gift card) or other cryptocurrency. All sales of Trilium are final and non-refundable to the extent permissible under applicable laws. Trilium does not constitute personal property, has no cash value, and has no value outside of Alien Worlds and/or the Services. Other than within the gameplay of Alien Worlds, Trilium may not be transferred or sold to any other person.
6.3 NFTs
Notwithstanding the above, Alien Worlds' gameplay allows its users to own certain specific virtual assets, as Dacoco may design and release, within its sole discretion, from time to time, in form of non-fungible tokens issued on the WAX Blockchain or otherwise as Blockchain based tokens, as well as the underlying smart contracts ("NFTs"). NFTs may, but do not have to, be designed as digital collectibles and/or items with a function within Alien Worlds' gameplay. Such NFTs are subject to the following policy:
Distribution of NFTs:
NFTs can be earned within Alien Worlds in accordance with the smart contracts’ functionality, as may be determined at the sole discretion of Dacoco, from time to time. In addition, Dacoco may at any time, but has no obligation to, offer NFTs for sale or otherwise distribute NFTs in such process and pursuant to such terms as Dacoco may determine within its sole discretion. This includes, without limitation, the right to provide NFTs at no charge to any individual user of group of users of Alien Worlds, the Website, Materials and/or Services or to third parties. Unless otherwise agreed with Dacoco in writing, users of Alien Words, including the End User, have no preferential subscription rights or similar rights in connection with any issuance and/or distribution of NFTs by Dacoco.
Purchase of NFTs:
To purchase NFTs, you must have (i) an active User Account and (ii) an active WAX compatible digital wallet (a WAX-Account). Dacoco reserves the right, at its sole discretion, not to offer or to cease to offer NFTs for your purchase or to restrict your NFT purchases. NFTs may only be purchased at such purchase price and any NFTs available for purchase may only be purchased by such means and in accordance with such further terms and conditions as Dacoco may specify at its sole discretion from time to time.
Transfer of NFTs:
NFTs are not designed to be transferred other than within and as required by the gameplay of Alien Worlds. Dacoco reserves the right to subject the transfer of NFTs to a dedicated transfer policy, as drafted up at Dacoco's sole discretion (an "NFT Transfer Policy"). Any applicable NFT Transfer Policy, as in force from time to time, shall be made available on the Website.
You acknowledge and understand that your transactions on the WAX platform are public and that your WAX address will be associated with these transactions. You further acknowledge and accept that you will be solely liable for any fees, costs, deductions or expenses associated with your transactions on the WAX platform. After an NFT is initially sold or otherwise released or put into circulation by us, we have no control over subsequent transactions. Accordingly, we will have no liability to you (or anyone else) as a result of any transactions that you engage in with respect to NFTs.
Risks related to the nature of the NFTs:
NFTs are subject to certain inherent risks, in particular because NFTs may be based or enabled by the Atomic Assets Smart Contract on the WAX Blockchain (or any successor digital item standard). These risks include, inter alia, the following, which you acknowledge and accept to solely bear when acquiring, holding, managing, using, selling and/or otherwise alienating NFTs:
i) There may not be a market with a sufficient number of potential buyers and sellers of NFTs. NFTs may therefore not be liquid and you may not be able to effectively resell NFTs you have acquired. We make no representations or warranties that NFTs can effectively be resold.
ii) NFTs may not have a use other than within Alien Worlds, if at all.
iii) The value of an NFT may be volatile. Virtual currencies and assets can be very volatile and impact the value of NFTs. We make no representations or warranties that any NFTs will retain increase their value. You might lose money.
iv) The WAX platform may subject your ability to purchase, hold, manage, use sell, and/or otherwise alienate NFTs to costs, fees, deductions or expenses, which you hereby agree to fully and solely bear.
v) The WAX platform may not function properly and may be subject to hacking, malicious software, interruptions and failures. These events may cause delays or failures in your ability to purchase, hold, manage, use sell, or otherwise alienate NFTs.
vi) Atomic Assets accounts may not function properly and may be subject to hacking, malicious software, interruptions and failures. These events may cause delays or failures in your ability to purchase, hold, manage, use sell, or otherwise alienate NFTs.
vii) Laws may apply in certain jurisdictions and new regulations could be enacted that might limit or require changes to the functionality enabled by the WAX platform, which could impact and/or impede on your ability to purchase, hold, manage, use sell, or otherwise alienate NFTs.
viii) Other changes to the WAX platform could impact and/or impede on your ability to purchase, hold, manage, use sell, or otherwise alienate NFTs.
6.4 Withdrawal right

6.5 Loss of access

If you breach any provision of or undertaking under this Agreement, Dacoco shall have the right to seek specific performance ("Realexekution") in respect of your obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to the right to request that you cease and/or desist from committing any breach of such obligations, whether or not this forces you to abandon any commercial activity or not to pursue any opportunities at that time (cease and desist injunction).
Dacoco has the right to seek interim legal protection ("Vorsorgliche Massnahmen") to prevent detrimental consequences and effects that cannot easily be remedied or to ensure an effective enforcement of your obligations under this Agreement. In such event, you fully waive any right you may have under applicable laws to request the provision of securities ("Sicherheitsleistung") by Dacoco.
19. Term and Termination
This Agreement shall remain in effect for a term of 30 calendar days, beginning on such date as it is entered into. Upon expiry of such initial term, this Agreement shall remain in effect for successive additional terms of 30 calendar days each, unless terminated by either Party no later than 15 days prior the end of the relevant term.
This Agreement (and therefore your right to make Permitted Use of Alien Worlds) shall be terminated with immediate effect in the event that an Incremental Fee is not paid within the applicable 10 day period.
In addition, Dacoco may terminate this Agreement if, in our sole discretion, we determine that there has been a breach these Terms of Use, a material breach of any other agreement between the Parties or a violation of law. If the cause of such termination is reasonably capable of being remedied, we will provide you notice of what actions you must take to reinstate a state acceptable to us within our sole discretion. If you fail to take such actions or the cause cannot be remedied within 10 calendar days, the Agreement will be terminated with immediate effect.
Upon termination, all licenses granted herein end immediately. You will cease using Alien Worlds and return to us or uninstall and destroy any Materials you may have in your possession. Termination of the Agreement will not relieve you of your obligation to pay any amounts you owe up to and including the date of termination.
The effects of an expiry or termination of this Agreement on any NFTs are governed by Section 6 hereof.
