1. Ownership. No cancellation.
a. When Holder acquires an NFT, Holder owns all personal property rights to that NFT (e.g., the right to freely sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of that NFT). Such rights, however, do not include the ownership of the intellectual property rights in the NFT Content (which are licensed pursuant to the section herein titled “NFT Content License. Restrictions.”)
b. All purchases of NFT, as well as any consideration and associated charges, are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the NFT, any disruption to the operations of any components of the NFT, or any other reason whatsoever.
c. You acknowledge that sales of each NFT are dictated via smart contract automated code (“Smart Contract”) on the blockchain provided under the Platform where specific NFT are made available and are by nature irreversible. As a consequence, You are not entitled to any right of withdrawal in respect of the purchase of the NFT and any such withdrawal right you might be granted in any jurisdiction are hereby waived by You.
With specific reference to Italian law, right of withdrawal granted by Decreto Legislativo del 6 settembre 2005, n. 206 (so called Codice del Consumo), whenever applicable, is however excluded in case of “The supply of digital content through a non-material medium if the performance has commenced with the express agreement of the consumer and their acceptance that, in such a case, they would forfeit their right of withdrawal.” (art. 59.1(o)). Your purchase of NFTs on Platforms implies immediate performance of the relevant transfer. You acknowledge and accept the immediate performance and the relevant forfeit of any right of withdrawal you might be entitled under Codice del Consumo.

The license in the prior sentence is non-transferrable, except that it will automatically transfer in connection with the valid transfer of the NFT as provided by these Terms. At the transfer of the NFT You will interrupt immediately any use of the NFT Content. Holder may not make any other use of the NFT Content.
