Terms of Service

Chonkly uses ERC-721 standard smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. Our contracts have been developed with security as a priority, implementing best practices for NFT minting, transfers, and sales. Each NFT minted on Chonkly is a unique, verifiable digital asset that represents ownership of the associated artwork.

When you connect your wallet to Chonkly, you're interacting directly with our verified smart contracts. All transactions are recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, providing transparent and immutable proof of ownership and transaction history.

When you mint an NFT on Chonkly, the following steps occur:

1. You upload your digital artwork to our secure storage system
2. Our platform generates a unique metadata file containing details about your artwork
3. When you confirm the transaction in MetaMask, our smart contract mints a new ERC-721 token
4. The token is assigned to your wallet address, establishing verifiable ownership
5. The token's metadata points to your artwork, creating a permanent link between the token and the digital asset

The digital art you purchase on Chonkly is represented by ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. These tokens are stored in your personal wallet, not on our servers. Your ownership is verified and secured by the blockchain, allowing you to display, transfer, or sell your NFTs as you wish.

Each NFT in your collection has a unique token ID and metadata that links to the digital artwork. This metadata is stored securely and follows industry standards to ensure compatibility with wallets, other marketplaces, and future applications.

Chonkly implements multiple security measures to protect our users and their digital assets:

• Secure metadata storage with redundant backups
• Smart contract security best practices
• Secure wallet connection protocols
• Transaction verification and confirmation systems
• Regular security audits and updates

All transactions on the Ethereum blockchain require gas fees, which vary based on network congestion and are paid directly to Ethereum validators. These costs are determined by the Ethereum network and are not controlled by Chonkly.

All financial transactions on Chonkly are conducted in cryptocurrency through the Ethereum blockchain. We do not process or store credit card information or traditional banking details. All transaction records are publicly visible on the blockchain, providing transparency and accountability.

When you purchase an NFT on Chonkly, you are buying ownership of the token that represents the digital artwork, not necessarily the copyright to the artwork itself. The specific rights granted to NFT owners are determined by the creator and may vary from one NFT to another.

By default, creators retain copyright and intellectual property rights to their work, while collectors receive ownership of the NFT and limited rights to display the artwork. Creators are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights to mint NFTs of their artwork.

Response to Valid DMCA Notices: Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, Chonkly will act in accordance with applicable law, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content.

You warrant that you have all necessary rights to mint, sell, or transfer any digital artwork you upload to our platform. This includes ensuring that any remixes, derivative works, or adaptations you create and upload comply with all applicable copyright laws and do not infringe on the rights of any third party.

Content Responsibility: You are solely responsible for ensuring that any content you upload does not infringe on copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights. Chonkly does not monitor, review, or verify the originality or ownership rights of user-uploaded content. All responsibility for copyright compliance rests with the user who uploads the content.

Legal Compliance: You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations when using our platform, including all copyright and intellectual property laws. Any violations are your sole responsibility, and Chonkly disclaims all liability for user actions that violate applicable laws. Chonkly's sole obligation with respect to copyright infringement is to respond to valid DMCA takedown notices as required by law.
