The Top Dog Beach Club

The Top Dog Beach Club ("TDBC") and Top Cat Beach Club ("TCBC") is a collection of digital artworks (so called Non-Fungible Tokens or “NFTs”) utilising blockchain technologies on the Ethereum network. This website is only an interface allowing participants to purchase these digital collectibles. Users are entirely responsible for the safety and management of their own private wallets and validating all transactions and contracts generated by this website before approval. Furthermore, as the Top Dog Beach Club smart contract runs on the Ethereum network and is therefore bound by its immutability, there is no ability to undo, reverse, or restore any transactions, i.e., we are unable to offer refunds on any transactions.

This website, our smart contract, and all connected services related to the Top Dog Beach Club name are provided “as is” without any warranty or promise of availability of services of any kind. By using this website and minting the digital collectibles, you are accepting sole responsibility for any and all transactions involving Top Dog Beach Club collectibles.

Top Dog Tags and Top Cats

During 21 September 2021 and 26 September 2021 you will be able to "portalize" your Top Dog NFTs. This means "burning" your NFTs and loosing access to them. This process irreversible and even the TDBC will not be able to return your Top Dog NFT if you change your mind. You will no longer own these NFTs, they will be removed from your wallet, and you will not be able to sell them. In doing so you will receive a Top Dog Tag NFT. This Tag can either be left in an "unopened" state or redeemed for a rarer Top Cat. For the purposes of clarification, rarer means your Top Cat mint will be 100% random but in redeeming your Tag your cat will become 3 random traits rarer (i.e. Epic > Legendary). It does not guarantee you a rare Top Cat. By proceeding with portalization you agree not to hold TDBC liable as laid out under the "Limitations of liability" section below.

What you own

You will own the full commercial rights to your TDBC or TCBC and the underlying art so long as you continue to own and control the related NFT. Ownership of the NFT is mediated entirely by our smart contract. At no point can we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any NFT.

You may assign some of these rights to other commercial projects, but any future transfer of your NFT will be subject to those rights that you have already assigned. You can put your TDBC or TCBC on clothing and merchandise, include them in video games and video projects, and generally do whatever you want with your TDBC or TCBC. You cannot use the name “Top Dog Beach Club” or "Top Cat Beach Club" on any commercial product, or use “TDBC” unless connected directly to the name or the “#” and the number of your TDBC or TCBC signifying the NFT you own. You agree not to use your TDBC or TCBC in any project or derivative work that involves hate speech, racism, pornography, or any other illegal content.

Limitations of liability

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS, THE TDBC TEAM DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EX-PRESS, IMPLIED, WRITTEN, ORAL OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES OTHERWISE ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE.

You agree to not hold the TDBC team responsibly for any losses you may incur as a consequence of minting your NFT, whether due to Internet connection issues, demand outstripping supply, or other unforeseen problems. These potential losses include any gas fees for failed transactions, any excessive gas fees charged due to website or smart contract bugs, and any loss of your NFT due to website or smart contract bugs.

No guarantee or promises of future services

The Top Dog team are fully committed to this project and hopes to continually develop the story and grow the community. Our roadmap outlines future goals we hope to accomplish.

By minting a TDBC or TCBC, you agree that you are not relying on any future commitments by the Top Dog team.
