Land and Development

  1. A key aspect of the OurWorld Meta Meta platform will be the ability for registered users to buy and sell land tiles (Virtual Land).
  2. To be eligible to buy and sell Virtual Land, you must first register as a user of the Website as set out in Part B above.
  3. Each tile of Virtual Land will be a virtual equivalent to a real-world measurement of approximately 300sqm, although they may not all be of exactly identical size. The size and positioning of the Virtual Land is established and controlled by us at our sole discretion.
  4. The first-sale of each tile of Virtual Land will be based on a value that we assign to it in USD. Future sales between registered users will be struck at a price agreed between those users.
  5. All subsequent sales of Virtual Land between registered users must be conducted through the marketplace that we provide on the Website for that purpose (Marketplace). We do not promise that the Marketplace will be always available, or that there will be an uninterrupted connection between the Marketplace and any Payment Account.
  6. Sales of Virtual Land will be conducted in credits on the Website that are equivalent to USD. It is each users responsibility to ensure they have sufficient credits to perform any transaction. Transactions made using credits are ultimately settled through payments of USD amounts equivalent to the Website credits, between Payment Accounts, credit cards, or any other method that we accept from time to time (for instance, we may in the future expand to accept payment in one or more crypto-currencies)
  7. Each registered user must maintain a valid Payment Account, linked and valid credit card (or other approved method from time to time) through which payments for Website credit-based transactions can be made, and must ensure the details of that account are kept up to date within the Website.
  8. If the registered user who holds the rights in any Virtual Land (Seller) wishes to sell that Virtual Land, it can place the land for sale on the Marketplace. Other registered users can bid on that Virtual Land, and the successful buyer (as determined by the Seller) will become eligible to take ownership of the Virtual Land (Buyer), subject to paying the agreed price to the Seller for the relevant Virtual Land, and payment to us of the relevant transaction fee (which is listed in the Marketplace) (Transaction Fee).
  9. For the avoidance of doubt, the sale of land does not grant holders of that land any intellectual property rights in the lands themselves, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
  10. When you purchase land in the above manner, you hereby represent and warrant, to and for the benefit of OurWorld Meta, its affiliates, and their respective representatives, as follows: Authority. You have all the requisite capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform your obligations under this Agreement, including to sell or buy land as applicable.
  11. The Buyer must pay the agreed price for the relevant Virtual Land in USD (or other method that we accept from time to time), together with our Transaction Fee. Ownership in the Virtual Land will pass on confirmation to our satisfaction of successful and complete payment of the agreed sale price and our Transaction Fee. If payment is not successfully received, then the sale will not proceed.
  12. No fluctuation in the value of any currency, whether cryptocurrency or otherwise, shall impact or excuse your obligations with respect to any purchase.
  13. OurWorld Meta may add or remove any payment processing services. There can be additional terms or conditions associated with these services. OurWorld Meta has the right to stop accepting any particular cryptocurrency at any time for use as a payment option. You consent to paying all fees due to OurWorld Meta without deduction for any withholding taxes and in full.

Nature of Rights in Virtual Land

  1. The value of Virtual Land that is not yet assigned to ownership by any particular user is set by us at our discretion, including by the use of algorithms that respond to various factors including the apparent supply and demand and desirability of particular lots.
  1. There is no inherent value in any Virtual Land and the value in particular blocks of Virtual Land, and in the Virtual Land generally, may fluctuate in value from time to time by various factors including user demand and user developed features will  determine land values.
  1. Your rights in any Virtual Land are not ownership and are conferred by contract only for the purposes of transacting within the Website as a registered user. Those rights are expressly subject to all of the terms that apply to use of the Metaverse Platform and require you to remain a registered user of the Platform.
  1. We reserve the right in the future to convert your holding of Virtual Land (or any equivalent credits held in the OurWorld Meta Meta platform) to an equivalent value of a cryptocurrency that we may create in the future. Any conversion would be conducted at a valuation reasonably determined by us.
  1. Rights in Virtual Land are not assignable from your account to any other account (other than by sale as contemplated by these terms). If your account is cancelled in accordance with these terms, or you cancel your use of the website for any reason, you forfeit any Virtual Land assigned to your account and we are not liable to you in any way (including without limitation for the payment of any amount in respect of the relevant Virtual Land). Any Virtual Land so forfeited returns to ownership by us and will be made available for sale to other users at the price determined by us.
  1. If we have converted Virtual Land holdings to a separate crypto currency (as permitted by these terms), then you will maintain your rights to that crypto currency separately from your registration to the Website, in accordance with the terms that govern that crypto currency. Those rights will not be automatically extinguished if your account is cancelled.
