PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY GOVERN YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE EBISU'S BAY NFT MARKETPLACE.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Ebisu's Bay NFT marketplace (the "Platform," and "we," "us," "our," or "Ebisu's Bay"). By accessing, browsing, connecting a wallet to, or otherwise interacting with the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by any additional terms presented to you in connection with a specific feature. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Platform.
Certain features — including Drops, Mystery Boxes, and Buy Competitions — may carry their own additional rules published alongside them. Where those rules conflict with these Terms, the feature-specific rules control for that feature only.
Ebisu's Bay is a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace on the Cronos blockchain, available at https://ebisusbay.com/ and its subdomains. The Platform provides an interface for:
Ebisu's Bay is operated and maintained by the Ebisu's Bay team (the "Operator"). References in these Terms to "Ebisu's Bay," "we," "us," or "our" mean the Operator of the Platform.
Ebisu's Bay is a venue, not a counterparty. This is the single most important thing to understand about the Platform:
The Platform is available only to persons who are at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction if higher, and who have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
You are responsible for understanding and assuming the risks associated with NFTs, digital collectibles, Blockchain technology, and self-custody. You should exercise a high degree of caution and take responsibility for every decision you make in connection with the Platform.
Ebisu's Bay is not available to individuals or entities who reside in, are citizens of, are incorporated in, or have a registered office in any of the following jurisdictions (each a "Restricted Territory"). Any such person or entity from a Restricted Territory is a "Restricted Person":
Ebisu's Bay is not available to any person or entity who resides in, is a citizen of, is located in, is incorporated in, or has a registered office in any member state of the European Union or the wider European Economic Area. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
No part of the Platform or its features is offered, marketed, advertised, or otherwise made available to the public in the European Union or the European Economic Area. Nothing on the Platform or in any related material constitutes, or is intended to constitute, an offer to the public of crypto-assets, an admission of crypto-assets to trading, a solicitation, or the provision of crypto-asset services within the European Union or the European Economic Area.
If you are a Restricted Person, you are strictly prohibited from accessing or using Ebisu's Bay.
The use of virtual private networks (VPNs) or any other tools or methods to circumvent these geographical restrictions is strictly prohibited. Any attempt to disguise your location or identity in order to access the Platform from a Restricted Territory is a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of access.
We have the right to choose the markets and jurisdictions in which to operate and may restrict or refuse the provision of the Platform in certain countries or regions at our discretion. We reserve the right to update the list of Restricted Territories at any time without prior notice.
You represent and warrant that you are not listed on, and are not acting on behalf of any person listed on, any trade embargo or economic sanctions list, including the United Nations Security Council sanctions list, the list of specially designated nationals maintained by OFAC, the Financial Action Task Force listings, the denied persons or entity lists of the U.S. Department of Commerce, or the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List.
When you list an NFT for sale, you authorise a Smart Contract to transfer that NFT on your behalf if and when a Buyer meets your stated price. You keep the NFT in your Wallet until that happens.
By creating a Listing, you represent and warrant that:
You are responsible for the accuracy of your Listing, including price and quantity. Listings, edits, cancellations, and bulk operations are on-chain actions that cost Gas Fees, and a cancellation is not effective until it is confirmed on-chain. A Listing may be filled at any moment before cancellation confirms.
Sweeps batch multiple purchases into a single transaction. Individual items in a Sweep may become unavailable between the time you build your cart and the time your transaction confirms; partial fills, price changes, and failed transactions are normal outcomes and are not our responsibility.
We may, at our discretion and without notice, hide, delist, or restrict any Listing, Collection, or item — including for suspected infringement, fraud, wash trading, malicious contract behaviour, or breach of these Terms. Hiding an item from the Platform interface does not remove it from the Blockchain and does not cancel any on-chain Listing.
When you make an Offer or a Collection Offer, your native CRO is committed to a Smart Contract and held in Escrow until the Offer is accepted, cancelled by you, or expires. While your funds are escrowed you cannot use them elsewhere.
You acknowledge that:
We do not hold, control, or guarantee the return of escrowed funds. Escrow is a function of the Smart Contract.
Many Collections declare a Royalty payable to the Creator on secondary sales, typically under the EIP-2981 standard. Where a Royalty is declared and enforceable, it is deducted from sale proceeds and paid to the address the Creator has designated.
You acknowledge that:
A Marketplace Fee applies to completed sales and is displayed at the point of transaction. The applicable fee is determined by the Platform at the time of the transaction. We may change the Marketplace Fee at any time; the fee shown when you confirm a transaction is the fee that applies to it.
Fees are separate from Gas Fees, which are charged by the Blockchain and are never received by us.
Where the Platform routes sale or royalty proceeds through a pull-payment Escrow contract, those proceeds are held until you claim them. Claiming is an on-chain action that costs a Gas Fee. Unclaimed proceeds remain in the contract; we do not hold them and cannot release them on your behalf.
Drops are published by third-party Creators. The Creator, not Ebisu's Bay, is the seller and the offeror.
We do not audit Drop Smart Contracts, verify Creator identity, confirm that a Creator owns the rights to the content they mint, or guarantee that any stated supply, allowlist, mint price, reveal mechanic, utility, or roadmap will be honoured or delivered.
You acknowledge that a Drop may sell out, fail to sell out, be cancelled, be delayed, reveal content different from what was promoted, or never reveal at all; that mint transactions may fail while still consuming Gas Fees; and that a Creator may abandon a project after minting. Any claim arising from a Drop lies against the Creator, not against us.
Mystery Boxes contain items determined probabilistically. Any stated odds, rarity tiers, or pool contents are provided by the relevant Creator or by the Platform for the specific promotion and may be implemented on-chain or off-chain.
You acknowledge that:
Do not purchase Mystery Boxes with funds you cannot afford to lose. If purchasing items of this kind is restricted or prohibited where you live, you must not purchase them.
Buy Competitions and similar promotions rank Users by qualifying purchases during a defined period and may award prizes.
Participation is voluntary and promotional. Prizes are discretionary and are not consideration, compensation, an entitlement, or a return on any investment. We may set, change, or clarify competition rules; extend, shorten, suspend, or cancel a competition; recalculate rankings to correct errors; and disqualify any participant whose activity we reasonably consider to be wash trading, self-dealing, coordinated multi-wallet manipulation, or otherwise abusive — with or without notice, and without any obligation to award a prize.
Rankings displayed during a competition are provisional until finalised. Prize distribution may be manual and may take time.
Creators and Users may submit content to the Platform, including Collection names, descriptions, images, banners, avatars, social links, usernames, profile details, and metadata or image URL templates used to index a Collection.
By submitting content, you:
We may remove, modify, or refuse to display any submitted content at our discretion.
You must not submit content that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive, malicious, or designed to impersonate another Collection, Creator, or brand.
This section is important and is frequently misunderstood.
Buying an NFT transfers the token. It does not, by itself, transfer copyright or any other intellectual property right in the underlying artwork, image, media, or content.
Any rights you receive in the content associated with an NFT are solely those the Creator has separately granted you, under whatever licence that Creator publishes. Those rights vary enormously between Collections — some grant broad commercial rights, some grant a narrow personal-use licence, and many grant nothing at all in writing.
Ebisu's Bay:
Before buying, read the Creator's licence. If there is no published licence, assume you are acquiring the token only.
The Platform itself — including its software, interfaces, design, branding, logos, text, and compilations of data — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. The Ebisu's Bay name and logos are our trademarks and may not be used without prior written permission.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, scrape, republish, or create derivative works from the Platform or its data without our prior written consent.
We do not pre-screen Collections or user-submitted content, and copy-minting — minting NFTs of artwork the minter does not own — is a known problem across all NFT marketplaces.
If you believe content displayed on the Platform infringes your intellectual property rights, contact us at [email protected] with:
We will review notices we receive and may hide or delist the affected content. The party whose content was removed may submit a counter-notice to the same address. We may restrict or terminate the accounts and access of repeat infringers.
Removing content from the Platform does not remove it from the Blockchain. We cannot burn, alter, or reclaim an NFT minted by someone else.
Badges, verification marks, "featured" placement, curated shelves, rarity ranks, trait floors, leaderboards, and similar Platform features are informational and editorial only. They are not:
Rarity ranks and trait floors are calculated from indexed data and active listings, and they change as the market changes. Different platforms calculate them differently. Treat them as one input among many, never as a fact about value.
Do your own research before every purchase.
You must not:
We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including hiding or delisting content, restricting or terminating access, disqualifying competition entries, and reporting to the competent authorities. Breach of the security provisions above may constitute a criminal offence, and we will cooperate with law enforcement in such cases.
The Platform includes an interface for swapping tokens on supported networks. That feature routes through third-party decentralized exchange liquidity and carries its own risks, including slippage, failed transactions, price impact, and third-party protocol failure. See our Risk Disclosure. We are not the counterparty to any swap.
Ebisu's Bay does not have access to, custody of, or control over your Wallet, your Private Keys, or your digital assets. Losing control of your Private Keys will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to your assets, and neither we nor anyone else will be able to retrieve them.
You are solely responsible for:
Any action taken in connection with your Wallet is deemed to have been taken by you. We are not liable for loss caused by authorised or unauthorised use of your Wallet, including loss caused by phishing, social engineering, malicious approvals, fraudulent websites impersonating the Platform, or malware.
All transactions performed in connection with the Platform are irreversible and final, and there are no refunds — including purchases, sales, mints, Sweeps, Offers, Mystery Box openings, and transfers. We are not liable for transactions performed on similar, cloned, or fraudulent sites or contracts.
By using the Platform you accept the risks inherent in NFTs, Blockchains, and Smart Contracts, including but not limited to:
This list is not exhaustive. Users may incur a complete loss of their digital assets.
NFTs that are genuinely unique and non-fungible are generally treated as outside the scope of dedicated crypto-asset regimes. However, NFTs issued in large series, NFTs that are fractionalised, and NFTs whose economic substance resembles a fungible or investment product may be treated differently under Applicable Law, and that treatment continues to evolve.
Nothing on the Platform is an offer of securities, an investment product, a financial instrument, or a collective investment scheme, and nothing on the Platform should be interpreted as a promise of profit, yield, appreciation, or return.
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or Applicable Law, engaged in fraudulent, abusive, or manipulative activity, or for any other reason at our discretion.
Termination of access does not affect NFTs or funds in your Wallet, which remain under your control on the Blockchain, nor does it reverse any completed on-chain transaction.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates, contractors, licensors, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, actions, proceedings, investigations, demands, suits, costs, expenses, and damages (including legal fees, fines, or penalties imposed by any Authority) arising out of or related to:
We have the right, at our discretion, to control the defence of any such matter and to determine whether and on what terms to settle it.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE, ALONG WITH OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, PARTNERS, LICENSORS, AND DISTRIBUTORS, DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, PROMISES, OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE PLATFORM. WE PROVIDE THE PLATFORM "AS-IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS," AND "AS AVAILABLE."
YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DISPLAYED DATA — INCLUDING OWNERSHIP, PRICES, FLOORS, RARITY, TRAITS, METADATA, MEDIA, OR HISTORY — WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.
WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ABOUT THE AUTHENTICITY, ORIGINALITY, LEGALITY, TITLE, QUALITY, UTILITY, OR VALUE OF ANY NFT, COLLECTION, DROP, OR MYSTERY BOX, OR ABOUT THE IDENTITY, INTENTIONS, SOLVENCY, OR CONDUCT OF ANY CREATOR, SELLER, OR BUYER.
SOME JURISDICTIONS PROVIDE FOR CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SUCH AS MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL SUCH WARRANTIES.
To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, we will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform.
We and our affiliated entities shall not be liable for any loss of profits, revenues, business opportunities, digital assets, or diminution in value arising from or in connection with:
In no event shall our aggregate liability to you exceed the greater of (a) the total Marketplace Fees paid by you to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (US$100). These limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.
We are not liable for the fault of third-party service providers we instruct or of any third-party service. Our liability in such cases is limited to using reasonable care in their selection and instruction.
We have no responsibility or liability for any failure or delay in the performance of the Platform, or any loss you may incur, due to any circumstance beyond our reasonable control, including flood, extraordinary weather, earthquake or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labour dispute, accident, pandemic, any law, order, regulation, or action of any government, communications or power failure, Blockchain network failure or attack, or equipment or software malfunction.
We may change, add to, or remove parts of these Terms at any time. We will publish changes on this page and update the "Last Updated" date. Changes become effective upon publication. It is your responsibility to review the amended Terms, and your continued use of the Platform after publication constitutes acceptance of them.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Romania, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or their breach, termination, or invalidity, shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Bucharest, Romania.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE, OR BE FOREVER BARRED.
Class Action Waiver: To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
These Terms, together with any policies or feature-specific rules incorporated by reference (including the Privacy Policy and the Risk Disclosure), constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Platform.
Any invalid or unenforceable provision of these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
The following sections survive termination of your access, in addition to any provision which by law or by its nature should survive: Definitions, What Ebisu's Bay Is Not, Intellectual Property in NFTs, Infringement Notices and Takedowns, Indemnification, Warranty and Disclaimers, Liability, Governing Law and Disputes, and this Miscellaneous section.
No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of that or any other provision. Our failure to enforce any right or provision does not waive future enforcement of it.
You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms at our discretion.
We must comply with Applicable Law, which may require us, upon request by an Authority, to take certain actions or provide information that may not be in your best interests.
Questions about these Terms, or infringement notices, can be sent to [email protected], or reach us through our official channels on X and Discord.
BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
