6.1 Disclaimer
The User acknowledges and accepts that the Platform, every function and every environment connected to it is to be understood "as it appears" or "as available" and that the platform and its services are subject to constant evolutionary updating in order to guarantee the User always the best available technology.
For this reason, Coderblock can not provide any guarantee about the possibility of access and use of the platform and the use of the tools made available through it.
6.2 Legal risks to encrypted systems
By using the platform and the services connected to it, the User declares that he is aware that he will come into contact with different innovative technologies that, by their nature, may represent a risk. Specifically, the User declares to be aware of the risks associated with and associated with the use of the systems related to the use of cryptocurrencies and specifically related to the Ethereum network and smart-contracts. In addition, the User declares to be aware of the risks associated with the use of AURA, the currency of Coderblock used within the platform to make purchases and transactions.
By using cryptocurrencies, the User acknowledges that such systems are based on blockchain technology and that the value of such assets is extremely volatile and interconnected to numerous factors that cannot be calculated at the time of purchase, such as, but not limited to: security-related risks, speculation, risks related to legislation in different countries.
6.3 Legal risks in multiple jurisdictions
Coderblock and its associated companies may be subject to verification procedures by one or more legal authorities in one or several legal systems. Depending on the nature of these procedures, they may restrict access to the platform or the use of certain services related to it.

The User declares that he is solely responsible for determining and discharging the tax charges due for the income deriving from the transactions carried out within his Land. The User hereby indemnifies Coderblock from any liability related to the discharge of tax and tax obligations and from any claims of third parties, whether private or public authorities.
6.5 Transactions and fees
If you choose to buy, trade or sell a Land, an Avatar, a 3D item or other non fungible token ("NFT") with or from other users through the tools made available by Coderblock such as, for example, the Marketplace, any financial transaction will be conducted exclusively through the Ethereum network, Layer 2 Solutions or other sidechains via Web3 providers.

In the light of the foregoing, Coderblock shall not be liable to you or any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions made, or any other transaction that the user conducts through the above technologies.
Ethereum and any third party transaction system on that network requires a transaction fee (c.d. "Gas Fee") for each transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network. The Gas Fee finances the network of computers that manage the decentralized Ethereum network. This means that you will need to pay that surcharge for each transaction you make. The user accepts and declares to be aware that such fee is unrelated to Coderblock and is not repeatable.
The User will be solely responsible for the payment of the taxes arising from all sales and transactions that generate an income carried out within their Land, with the exception of the taxes payable by Coderblock.
