Terms of Service
Last updated: 06/29/2024
These Terms of Service are subject to change.
Larken Association Inc has licensed the rights to create, mint, own, operate, and distribute smart contracts, tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and all other cryptocurrency related products that are associated with Larkena Inc and their intellectual property. This includes both on-metaverse and off-metaverse crypto related products. Larken Association Inc strictly manages all crypto related products independently of Larkena Inc.
In the MYTHDECK universe, players have the ability to possess digital vehicles, land, pets, mounts, and various in-game assets. These assets are issued as distinct non-fungible collectible tokens based on Ethereum Native Token NFTs or ERC-721 standards, or similar “non-fungible” token standards. These tokens can be traded directly among players in a peer-to-peer fashion, with each non-fungible token intricately linked to a unique Uniform Resource Identifier JSON file. This file contains essential metadata, including the name, description, or image file, securely stored on Arweave/IPFS or alternative storage networks. Additionally, these tokens are subject to specific usage terms related to the underlying intellectual property (“NFT”).
Larken Association Inc is the entity responsible for operating the MYTHDECK gaming platform, and throughout these Terms, references to “the Company,” “we,” or “us” pertain to Larken Association Inc. The MYTHDECK gaming platform is accessible to users via the https://mythdeck.com website, where users can actively engage with the platform. Collectively, the MYTHDECK gaming application, its associated Smart Contracts, and the website are herein referred to as the “App.” When utilizing the App, users can partake in gaming experiences, view their NFTs, interact with underlying Smart Contracts, and engage with fellow users within the immersive MYTHDECK gaming ecosystem.
Larken Association Inc is the entity that provides access to the App, Smart Contracts, and the Site. To use these services, you must agree to the Terms of Use and any additional terms and conditions incorporated by reference (collectively referred to as “Terms”). Please carefully review these Terms before utilizing the App, Smart Contracts, or the Site. These Terms govern your usage of the App, Smart Contracts, and the Site, unless a separate written agreement has been executed between you and Larken Association Inc for this purpose. We are willing to grant you access to the App, Smart Contracts, and the Site only if you accept all of these Terms.
By using any part of the App, Smart Contracts, the Site, or by indicating your acceptance through actions like clicking “I ACCEPT” in an adjoining box, you confirm your understanding and agreement to abide by these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or another legal entity, you assert that you possess the legal authority to accept these Terms on the entity’s behalf. In such cases, “you” will refer to the entity. If you lack such authority or do not accept all these Terms, we are unable to provide access to the App, Smart Contracts, or the Site. If you disagree with these Terms, you may not access or use the App, Smart Contracts, or the Site.
Supplementary terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site or the App occasionally are explicitly integrated into these Terms by reference. We retain the right, at our sole discretion, to make alterations to the Terms periodically. We will notify you of any changes by updating the “Last Updated” date of these Terms. By continuing to use the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts after such revised Terms are posted, you acknowledge and accept the changes, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each change. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically to remain informed about updates.
- THE APP
a. To ensure seamless usage of the App, it is advisable to begin by installing a web browser, such as Google Chrome, and an electronic wallet compatible with the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) standard on the respective Blockchain Network. Many Cardano-based wallets and the MetaMask electronic wallet, among others, are compatible with this standard. MetaMask and similar electronic wallets enable you to acquire, store, and conduct transactions using Ethereum cryptocurrency. Please note that transactions within the App can only be conducted through MetaMask or other browsers compatible with the relevant Blockchain Network.
b. Transactions facilitated by Smart Contracts are supervised and validated through the relevant Blockchain Network. It’s important to understand that your public address on the relevant Blockchain Network will become publicly visible whenever you engage in interactions with Smart Contracts or interact with the App.
c. We do not possess authority over MetaMask, Google Chrome, any electronic wallets, the relevant Blockchain Network, or any third-party sites, products, or services that you may access, visit, or utilize to enable the various features of the App. We shall not be held liable for the actions or omissions of such third parties, and we are not responsible for any damages you may incur as a result of your transactions or interactions with these third parties.
d. When you create an account for the App, it is essential to provide accurate and complete registration information. By creating an account, you commit to furnishing accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive account information about yourself. Additionally, you agree to regularly maintain and update your account information as necessary. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or modify a username you select if, at our sole discretion, we determine that such a username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable. You are fully responsible for the security of your account, password, and your MetaMask wallet (as well as other wallets and accounts on the relevant Blockchain Network). Should you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or account with us, please promptly notify us at legal@larkenassociation.com.
- MYTHDECK ECOSYSTEM GAMES
a. The MYTHDECK metaverse ecosystem encompasses a network of floating bubbles, zones, and domes that host virtual land, including Home Bubble, District Land Plots, and Custom Domes. These are immersive gaming environments where players can reside and exist as NFTs on the relevant blockchain network. Some domes feature curated content developed by the MYTHDECK team, such as The Island, Themed Zones, and The City, to provide engaging in-game experiences and rewards. These NFTs are freely tradable on various virtual currency exchanges and can be exchanged and accessed in a peer-to-peer manner by users. It’s important to note that NFTs have no physical manifestation and are exclusive to the MYTHDECK metaverse ecosystem.
b. Play-And-Earn:
By actively participating in MYTHDECK and the diverse mini-games, as well as accompanying mobile and browser-based games, players earn in-game currency known as “Gold.” This in-game currency can be exchanged for $LARKEN, which holds real-world value. Players are presented with a range of daily challenges of varying difficulty levels, such as resource collection, time trials, or map exploration. Successful completion of these daily challenges grants players access to the Play-to-Earn reward pool, which distributes a daily quantity of gold coins among all eligible participants. Similar to NFTs, $LARKEN can be freely traded on various virtual currency exchanges and can be exchanged and accessed in a peer-to-peer manner by users. $LARKEN serves exclusively within the MYTHDECK metaverse ecosystem and does not possess a tangible or physical form.
c. Build-And-Earn:
Players have the opportunity to gather resources and utilize their land to construct various structures, including residential houses, farms for crop cultivation, merchant stalls for peer-to-peer commerce, and workshops for resource processing and crafting. These activities have the potential to generate in-game currency.
d. Learn-And-Earn:
MYTHDECK collaborates with educational institutions to integrate learning into the metaverse. Players can assume the role of students, engage in learning experiences within educational centers, and earn rewards through educational mini-games.
e. Stake-And-Earn:
This feature allows users to stake tokens and earn rewards by participating in various activities within the MYTHDECK metaverse ecosystem. Active participants can earn tokens from the reward pool, with specific actions and incentive amounts subject to governance decisions.
f. Host-And-Earn:
Over time, Larken Association Inc plans to gradually introduce additional competitions, contests, games, or modules within the MYTHDECK ecosystem. Your interaction with any of these components should comply with these Terms, including full adherence to all aspects of these terms of service.
