- Using our Site
We do not guarantee that our Site, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. We may update and change our Site from time to time. We may suspend or withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of our Site.
We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Site, and in the material published on it. Those works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved.
You may download extracts of any page from our Site for your personal use and you may draw the attention of others within your organization to content posted on our Site. You must not modify any copies of any materials you have obtained in any way, and you must not use any illustrations, photographs, video or audio sequences or any graphics separately from any accompanying text.
Our status (and that of any identified contributors) as the authors of content on our site must always be acknowledged (except where the content is user-generated). You must not use any part of the content on our site for commercial purposes without obtaining a license to do so from us or our licensors.
If you print off, copy, download, share or repost any part of our site in breach of these Terms, your right to use our Site will cease immediately and you must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the materials you have made.
You shall not conduct, facilitate, authorize or permit any text or data mining or web scraping in relation to our Site or any services provided via, or in relation to, our Site.
The content on our Site is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content on our Site.
Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our Site, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our Site is accurate, complete or up to date.
Our Site includes certain social media features, such as links to social networks like Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook. Your interactions with these features are governed by the terms and policies of the company providing the service.
- Using our App and Services
Through the App we allow you to interact with your digital identity (PFP) using your existing non-fungible token (“NFT”) and our face-tracking technology in augmented reality (“AR”). In order to access and utilize our Services in the App (including any intellectual property assets we may provide to you), you must own the relevant NFT. The App contains a wallet connection feature for blockchain interactions. By connecting your wallet, you can identify FILT3R NFTs associated with your Ethereum wallet address. FILT3R NFTs determine the appropriate NFT to showcase within the App. Only the owners of the NFT have access to assets facilitated by the wallet connect integration.
The website https://BORED.FILT3r.io provides a blockchain wallet connection that grants users access to their personal project page. Users can mint new NFTs on the website and provide details about associated wallet information.
FILT3R collaborates with Tokenproof, an external verification tool. Tokenproof verifies NFTs on behalf of NFT projects, particularly when users prefer not to store expensive NFTs directly in their primary wallet. For more information about Tokenproof’s services, please visit their official website: https://tokenproof.xyz/
You acknowledge that we are under no obligation to make available any updates of the App. However, we may automatically check your version of the App and offer you the opportunity to download and install updates.

- Payment
Our Site is made available free of charge.
In consideration for the license to use the App, you shall pay us a license fee. The license fee shall be specified by and paid to us via the App Store.
You acknowledge that the license fee only serves as consideration for the license to use the App. As such, it does not serve as consideration for the purchase of FILT3R NFTs, as those NFTs are not being sold as part of the App.
For certain NFT collections, different payment models may be implemented to access the technology. This can include fixed amounts per download for unlimited usage or customized membership models. FILT3R may choose to offer premium access subscriptions, which will provide you with extended possibilities within the App (“Subscription”).
Subscriptions may be available at different fees chargeable for a set period of time specified in the App (“Subscription Period”). Payment will be taken from your iTunes account (“Account”) when you confirm the Subscription.
A Trial Subscription is offered free of charge for a certain period of time from activation specified in the App. If you do not cancel the Subscription within the said period, the Subscription Fee will be taken from your Account when the trial period expires. Please note that your Subscription begins immediately after the activation of a trial Subscription, not after the seven-days trial period.
The Subscription is renewable automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the expiry of the current Subscription.
To manage your Subscriptions, visit https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039#subscriptions for your iTunes account.
The Subscription Fee will be taken from your Account during the 24 hours preceding the expiry of the current Subscription. In case the Subscription Fee cannot be taken from your Account due to the absence of monetary funds, invalidity of the credit card, or for any other reasons, your Subscription is automatically canceled.
Once you have bought a Subscription, you can manage it and switch off automatic renewal at any time after the purchase in your Account settings. You cannot cancel your current Subscription if it has already been activated. Except when required by law, paid Subscription Fees are non-refundable.
FILT3R, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription Fee. Any Subscription Fee change will become effective at the end of the current Subscription period. You will be provided reasonable prior notice of any change in the Subscription Fee. If you do not take action to agree to the increase in Subscription Fee, your Subscription shall expire at the end of the current Subscription period.
You acknowledge and agree that all billing and transaction processes are handled by the App Store, from whose platform you downloaded the App, and are governed by their terms and conditions. If you have any payment-related issues, then you need to contact the App Store.
We may enter into business arrangements with any business partners, including FILT3R’s technology partners. We may, at our discretion, agree alternative payment arrangements with such business partners.
- Intellectual property rights
In these Terms, “Intellectual Property Rights” mean all rights of use and commercial exploitation of an asset, including copyright and related rights, trade marks, rights in get-up, goodwill and the right to sue for passing off, rights in designs, database rights, rights to use, and protect the confidentiality of, confidential information (including know-how) and all other intellectual property rights, in each case whether registered or unregistered and all similar or equivalent rights or forms of protection which subsist or will subsist now or in the future in any part of the world.
Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, nothing in these Terms shall transfer, grant licenses or permissions in respect of any Intellectual Property Rights belonging to one party, apart from the permission to use the Site and license to use the App we set out in these Terms. Specifically, FILT3R remains the owner of its Intellectual Property Rights in the Site and the App.
FILT3R collaborates with projects whose members possess commercial property rights with respect to NFTs, such as the Bored APE Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) projects. When a holder of such commercial rights (BAYC/MAYC) purchases a FILT3R AR access pass NFT and activates their commercial right/NFT numbers, FILT3R shall offer to assign to you Intellectual Property Rights in 3D assets related to your NFT (including the provision of the relevant files). At the same time, you will be requested to grant us a license permitting us to use those 3D NFT assets so we can showcase them in the App.
- Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms and the Agreement shall operate to exclude or limit our liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence, or (2) any breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982, or (3) fraud, or (4) any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

We shall not be liable for any default, breach, or inaction of such third-party partners.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, under no circumstances, including negligence, shall we, our related corporations, shareholders, affiliates, partners, officers, employees, and agents be responsible or liable for any damages, losses, or expenses, including without limitation direct, indirect, consequential, or special damages or economic loss arising from or in connection with your access, loading, installation, or use of the Site, App or Services, regardless of whether we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall our total liability to you for all damages exceed the amount of one hundred pounds (£100.00). The limitations stated above shall apply even if the stated remedy fails to achieve its essential purpose.
You acknowledge and agree that all disclaimers and limitations of liability contained in these terms and conditions represent a fair and reasonable allocation of the risks and benefits of these terms and conditions, considering all relevant factors. You further agree that these disclaimers and limitations shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.
