6 . FEE AND PAYMENT

You can purchase, trade cars (collectively, “CARS"). The number of CARS now is more than 40 coming with distinctively different in prefab, speed, handle, acceleration, nitro and we hope to make this number bigger in near future. When the marketplace is launched and players are allowed to make transactions with others, please note that such transactions are conducted solely through the Blockchain via a designated wallet and currency (MRS). We will keep no information and provide no control, support, ability to reverse reported transactions. In general, we have no liability to you or to any third party for any alleged problems that arisen during the alleged trades and transactions conducted via the Smart Contract, the Blockchain. The Blockchain requires the payment of a transaction fee for every transaction that occurs in the marketplace. The fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized network rather than as profits. In addition to the fee, each time you use the Smart Contract to conduct a transaction with another user via the App, you are agreed to allow us to collect a commission of 3% of the total value of that transaction. You should have a clear understanding that the commission will be transferred directly to us through the Blockchain as a part of the transaction. As a matter of fact, we (we and you users) will be legally responsible for paying any types of cost, duty, and tax as your government requests. Such numbers will vary according to your jurisdictions and countries as well as the national laws and regulations. We have no liability and will provide no data, no support to you in such processes.

We would not be able to provide the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts to you without these limitations. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, and some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so the above limitations may not apply to personal injury claims.

13 . ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You accept and acknowledge each of the following: (1).

MetaRacers is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the App, the Site, or the Smart Contract. (3). The App does not store, send, and receive CARS. This is because CARS exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the App’s supporting blockchain. Any transfer of CARS occurs only on the Blockchain. (4). There are risks and limitations associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet.

A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the MetaRacers ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of CARS. (6). The current state of regulations regarding blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain. When new regulations or policies are introduced, they may materially adversely affect the development of the MetaRacers ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of CARS.
