NFI.io is owned and operated by NFI limited (Cayman) (“NFI.io,” “we,” “us”, or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the NFI.io website(s), our APIs, and any other software, tools, features, or functionalities provided on or in connection with our services; including without limitation using our services to upload, list, view, customize and mint NFIs and use our tools, at your own discretion, to connect directly with others to purchase, sell, or transfer NFIs on public blockchains (collectively, the “Service”).
“NFI” in these Terms means a 3D-based NFT items (Non-fungible Item) or similar digital item implemented on a blockchain (such as the Ethereum blockchain), which uses smart contracts to link to or otherwise be associated with certain content or data.
For purposes of these Terms, “user”, “you”, and “your” means you as the user of the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity then “you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that
(a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and;
(b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.
NFI.io is a platform with an objective of providing designers a simple way to list 3D designs and earn, while users can customize, mint and collect NFIs. We do not have custody or control over the NFIs or blockchains you are interacting with and we do not execute or effectuate purchases, transfers, or sales of NFIs. To use our Service, you must use a third-party wallet which allows you to engage in transactions on blockchains.
NFI.io is not a party to any agreement between any users. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFIs that you mint/purchase from third-party designers/sellers using the Service and we make no claims about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFIs (and any content associated with such NFIs) visible on the Service.
Because we have a growing number of services, we sometimes need to provide additional terms for specific services (and such services are deemed part of the “Service” hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms). Those additional terms and conditions, which are available with the relevant service, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any additional applicable terms we may provide for a specific service, such additional terms shall control for that specific service.
NFI.io reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such changes, such as by providing notice through the Service or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference effective as of the date these Terms are updated. It is your sole responsibility to review the Terms from time to time to view such changes and to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service.
Your blockchain address functions as your identity on NFI.io. Accordingly, you will need a blockchain address and a compatible third-party wallet to access the Service. Your account on the service (“Account”) will be associated with your blockchain address.
Your Account on NFI.io will be associated with your linked blockchain address and display the NFIs for that blockchain address (and, if applicable, any content associated with such NFIs). By using your wallet in connection with the Service, you agree that you are using that wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the wallet. Third-party wallets are not operated by, maintained by, or affiliated with NFI.io, and NFI.io does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and has no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. NFI.io accepts no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Service will operate with any specific wallet. You are solely responsible for keeping your wallet secure and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. If you discover an issue related to your wallet, please contact your wallet provider. Likewise, you are solely responsible for your Account and any associated wallet and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or as a result of your Account or wallet being compromised. You agree to immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security issues related to the Service or your Account by emailing [email protected]

NFI.io may require you to provide additional information and documents in certain circumstances, such as at the request of any government authority, as any applicable law or regulation dictates, or to investigate a potential violation of these Terms. In such cases, NFI.io, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account and block your ability to access the Service until such additional information and documents are processed by NFI.io. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, NFI.io may refuse to restore your access to the Service.

That account holder is responsible for your actions using the Account. It is prohibited to use our Service if you are under 13 years old.
While NFI.io does not charge any fee/ price for minting, users will need to pay for gas prices. NFI.io will not issue refunds for any mints/purchases made on its website. If a user decides that they do not want an NFIs following their mint/purchase of the same, the user’s sole recourse is to resell their NFIs on a secondary market platform.
You hereby agree, and accept that each NFI minted on NFI.io and subsequently traded on NFI.io or any secondary marketplace will be subjected to a) NFI.io platform royalties and b) Designer royalties. NFI.io and designers may be entitled to receive royalties from any secondary sale of NFIs minted via NFI.io.

NFI.io and/or any other NFI.io party cannot effect or otherwise control the transfer of title or right in any NFIs or underlying or associated content or items.
No NFI.io party is responsible or liable for any sustained losses or injury due to vulnerability or any kind of failure, abnormal behavior of software (e.g., wallet, smart contract), blockchains or any other features of the NFIs. No NFI.io party is responsible for losses or injury due to late reports by developers or representatives (or no report at all) of any issues with the blockchain supporting the NFIs, including forks, technical node issues or any other issues having losses or injury as a result.
You accept and understand:
- The value of an NFIs is subjective. Prices of NFIs are subject to volatility and fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrency can also materially and adversely affect NFI prices. You acknowledge that you fully understand this subjectivity and volatility and that you may lose money.
- A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility of NFIs.
- The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, non-fungible tokens / items, cryptocurrency, and other crypto-based items is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Service and the utility of NFIs.
- You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions. NFI.io is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your NFIs.
- There are risks associated with purchasing items associated with content created by third parties, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit items, mislabeled items, items that are vulnerable to metadata decay, items on smart contracts with bugs, and items that may become untransferable. You represent and warrant that you have done sufficient research before making any decisions to mint, sell, obtain, transfer, or otherwise interact with any NFIs or accounts/collections.
- We do not control the public blockchains that you are interacting with that may be integral to your ability to complete transactions on these public blockchains. Additionally, blockchain transactions are irreversible and NFI.io has no ability to reverse any transactions on the blockchain.
- There are risks associated with using Internet and blockchain based products, including, but not limited to, the risk associated with hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to your third-party wallet or Account. You accept and acknowledge that NFI.io will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Service or any Blockchain network, however caused.
- The Service relies on third-party platforms and/or vendors. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers and/or vendors; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers and/or vendors change; if we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms and/or vendors; or if any of such platforms and/or vendors loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of the Service will suffer.
- NFI.io reserves the right to hide collections, contracts, and items affected by any of these issues or by other issues. Items you list /mint /purchase may become inaccessible on NFI.io. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view items on NFI.io or an inability to use the Service in conjunction with the listing, minting, purchase, sale, or transfer of items available on any blockchains serve as grounds for a claim against NFI.io.
- If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us from claims, demands, and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL NFI.IO OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES AND PRODUCTS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF NFI.IO OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM, DEMAND, OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF THE DELIVERY, USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES, AND PRODUCTS ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF NFI.IO ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE, CONTENT, NFIs, OR ANY NFI.IO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US$100.00 OR (B) THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY NFI.IO FOR ITS SERVICE DIRECTLY RELATING TO THE ITEMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.
Please refer to our privacy policy for information about how we collect, use, and share personal data about you.

- Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with NFI.io and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. This section does not govern disputes between users or between users and third parties. NFI.io does not provide dispute resolution services for such disagreements and the parties must resolve those disputes directly.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Service, to any products sold or distributed through the Service, or to any aspect of your relationship with NFI.io, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, including threshold questions of the arbitrability of such dispute, controversy, or claim except that (1) you or NFI.io may assert claims in small claims court, but only if the claims qualify, the claims remain only in such court, and the claims remain on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis; and (2) you or NFI.io may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
- Dispute resolution process. You and NFI.io both agree to engage in good-faith efforts to resolve disputes prior to either party initiating an arbitration, small claims court proceeding, or equitable relief for intellectual property infringement. You must initiate this dispute resolution process by sending a letter describing the nature of your claim and desired resolution to [email protected] Both parties agree to meet and confer personally, by telephone, or by videoconference (hereinafter “Conference”) to discuss the dispute and attempt in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial outcome that avoids the expenses of arbitration or, where applicable, litigation. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the Conference. Likewise, if NFI.io is represented by counsel, its counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but NFI.io agrees to have a company representative fully participate in the Conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process and Conference required by this paragraph. If the parties do not reach agreement to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after initiation of this dispute resolution process, either party may commence arbitration, file an action in small claims court, or file a claim for injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction for matters relating to intellectual property infringement, if the claims qualify.
- Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and NFI.io. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. You and NFI.io hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and NFI.io are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the second bullet of this Section 14, above (“Applicability of Arbitration Agreement”). An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
- Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations. All claims and disputes within the scope of this arbitration agreement must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a representative or collective class basis. Only individual relief is available, and claims of more than one user, person, or entity cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other user, person, or entity. Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and NFI.io agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties.
- NFI.io reserves the right to update, modify, revise, suspend, or make any future changes to Section 14 regarding the parties’ Agreement to Arbitrate, subject to applicable law. You hereby consent and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that your understanding of this Section is up to date. Subject to the applicable law, your continued use of NFI.io’s services shall be deemed to be your acceptance of any modifications to Section 14 regarding the Agreement to Arbitrate. You agree that if you object to the modifications to Section 14, NFI.io may block access to your account pending closure of your account. In such circumstances, the Terms of Use prior to modification shall remain in full force and effect pending closure of your account.
- Severability. Except as provided in this Section, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with NFI.io.
If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by NFI.io will terminate automatically. Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, with or without notice and in our sole discretion, to suspend, disable, terminate, or delete your Account and/or your ability to access or use the Service (or any part of the foregoing) at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us.
If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause, or provision of these Terms.
You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to NFI.io for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and NFI.io shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.
You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Service, and/or other information or materials provided by NFI.io hereunder, to any country for which the Cayman Islands or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Service may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any Cayman Islands embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the Cayman Islands as a “terrorist supporting” country, or (b) to anyone listed on any Cayman Islands Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You are responsible for and hereby agree to comply at your sole expense with all applicable Cayman Islands export laws and regulations.
All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by NFI.io or you. Termination will not limit any of NFI.io’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and NFI.io relating to your access to and use of the Service. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of NFI.io, and NFI.io’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.
