Last updated: November 29, 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to SmartLayers, a service operated by Global Marketing EOOD ("we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the SmartLayers platform, including our website, AI-powered NFT generation tools, smart contract deployment services, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

5. Intellectual Property & Content Ownership

5.1 Your Content

You retain all rights to the content you create using our Service, including AI-generated images, NFT collections, and metadata. By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to host, store, and display your content as necessary to provide the Service.

5.2 AI-Generated Content

Images generated using our AI tools are created using third-party AI models. You are responsible for ensuring your use of AI-generated content complies with applicable laws and the terms of the underlying AI providers.

5.3 NFT & Copyright Disclaimer

Important: Purchasing or minting an NFT does NOT automatically transfer copyright or intellectual property rights. NFT ownership represents ownership of a unique token on the blockchain, not ownership of the underlying artwork or associated rights unless explicitly transferred by the creator.

6. NFT Royalties Disclaimer

Royalty Enforcement: NFT royalties configured in smart contracts are NOT guaranteed to be enforced. Many NFT marketplaces have made royalties optional or do not support them at all.

SmartLayers provides tools to configure royalties in your smart contracts, but we cannot guarantee that secondary marketplaces will honor or enforce these royalties. Royalty enforcement depends entirely on the policies of each marketplace where your NFTs are traded.

You acknowledge and accept that royalty income from secondary sales is not guaranteed and may vary or be zero depending on marketplace policies.

7. Blockchain & Smart Contract Terms

7.1 Immutability

Smart contracts deployed on blockchain networks are immutable. Once deployed, they cannot be modified or deleted. You are solely responsible for reviewing and testing your smart contract configuration before deployment.

7.2 Gas Fees

All blockchain transactions require gas fees paid in the native cryptocurrency of the network. Gas fees are paid directly to network validators and are separate from our service fees. Gas fees are non-refundable.

7.3 Network Risks

Blockchain networks may experience congestion, forks, or other technical issues. We are not responsible for delays, failures, or losses caused by blockchain network issues.

8. Prohibited Uses

You agree NOT to use the Service to:

  • Create content that infringes on third-party intellectual property rights
  • Generate illegal, harmful, or offensive content
  • Engage in fraud, money laundering, or other illegal activities
  • Circumvent or attempt to circumvent usage limits or security measures
  • Create NFTs that misrepresent ownership, origin, or authenticity
  • Use the Service in violation of any applicable laws or regulations

  • Losses arising from third-party marketplace policies (including royalty non-enforcement)
  • Losses arising from cryptocurrency price volatility
  • Losses arising from your own negligence or failure to secure your wallet

Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bulgaria and the European Union, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Sofia, Bulgaria.

11. Changes to Terms
