1. Use of the Platform and Security
(i) Account and Wallet Set-Up. You will need to use an electronic wallet which will enable you to store and access Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs that you collect or purchase via the Platform. Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs are stored on a blockchain network (the “Network”). As such, the Company does not maintain the Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs on this Platform and, aside from adding the NFT minter’s wallet address to the applicable smart contract for the Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs, the Company has no control over the generation, minting, transfer, storage, ownership or maintenance of the Pepsi Mic Drop NFT.
(ii) Account Registration. To the extent enabled or required by the Platform, you must provide accurate and complete registration information when you create an account for the Platform. By creating an account, you agree, represent and warrant to provide accurate, current and complete account information about yourself, and to maintain and promptly update your account information as necessary. We reserve the right to reclaim usernames without liability to you.
(iii) Account Security. You are responsible for the security of your account for the Platform and for your electronic wallets. Any unauthorized access to your wallet by third parties could result in the loss or theft of an Acquired NFT (as defined below) and/or other digital assets held in your wallet and any associated wallets, including any linked financial information such as bank account(s) or credit card(s). PepsiCo is not responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your wallet nor for any unauthorized access to or use of your cryptocurrency wallet. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account with us, you agree to notify us immediately at? https://contact.pepsico.com/pepsi/contact-us.
(iv) Account Permissions. You may never use another user’s account without express permission.
2. Payment, Gas Fees, and Taxes
(i) Cryptocurrency Financial Transactions on Platform. To the extent offered on the Platform, any cryptocurrency payments or financial transactions that you engage in via the Platform will be conducted solely through the Network. We have no control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any payments or transactions. We do not provide refunds for any purchases that you might make on or through the Platform – whether Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs or anything else. Whether a particular cryptocurrency is accepted as a payment method by Company is subject to change at any time in Company’s sole discretion.
(ii) Fiat Currency Financial Transactions on Platform. To the extent offered on the Platform, any fiat currency payments via credit cards or other means will be directed to our unaffiliated third-party payment processor. All bank, credit card, or other payment information is sent directly to and stored with the payment processor using its security protocols. Company does not store your payment information on its systems and shall not have any responsibility for the safety or security of that information. Company may add or change any payment processing services at any time. Such services may be subject to additional terms or conditions including their privacy policies.
(iii) No liability for Financial Transactions. We have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any payments or transaction that you engage in via the Platform, or any other payment or transactions that you conduct via the Network.
(iv) Gas Fees. Certain transactions on the Network may require the payment of a transaction fee (each, a “Gas Fee”). The Gas Fees fund the network of computers that run the decentralized Network. This means that you may need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that you instigate via the Platform on top of the NFT purchase price (if any). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, or except as indicated by Company based on the manner in which it makes Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs available, you will be solely responsible to pay any Gas Fee for any transaction that you instigate via the Platform. To the extent you elect to acquire a Pepsi Mic Drop NFT on a third-party platform, a Gas Fee may be applicable to such transaction and you agree that Company shall have no liability with respect to such Gas Fee.
(v) Responsibility for Taxes. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for determining and paying to the applicable taxing authority all applicable taxes (“Taxes”), including U.S. federal and applicable state and local taxes, that you may owe as the result of the receipt, minting or any other activity with respect to Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs. You represent that you are an individual who is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, a U.S. citizen or resident alien) and that you reside at an address in a State within the United States. You agree, promptly upon our request, to provide to us a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any other tax form that we determine is required in order for us to comply with applicable tax reporting obligations, as a condition of the receipt and minting of Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs.
(vi) Responsibility for Payment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and only to the extent applicable, you agree and understand that you will be unable to mint a Pepsi Mic Drop NFT unless you agree to pay, and do pay, all associated Network gas fees required for the transaction, and that we bear no responsibility for paying any such fees on your behalf. In addition, you understand and agree that we will not be minting any Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs on your behalf or transferring any Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs to you, and that, subject to your payment of all applicable gas fees (if any), the Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs will be minted by you and deposited directly into your cryptocurrency wallet upon generation. No refunds are permitted except with respect to any statutory warranties or guarantees that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
3. Ownership, License, and Ownership Restrictions

This means that, with the exception described in Section 2, you have the right to swap your Pepsi Mic Drop NFT, sell it, or give it away. Ownership of the Pepsi Mic Drop NFT is mediated entirely by the Network. Except as otherwise permitted by these Terms in cases where we determine that the Pepsi Mic Drop NFT has not been rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (including, without limitation, through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), at no point will we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Pepsi Mic Drop NFT.
(ii) We Own the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that we (or, as applicable, our licensors) own all legal right, title and interest in and to all other elements of the Platform, and all intellectual property rights therein (including, without limitation, all Art, designs, systems, methods, information, computer code, software, services, “look and feel”, organization, compilation of the content, code, data, and all other elements of the Platform (collectively, the “Platform Materials”)).

(iv) Further User Ownership Acknowledgements. For the sake of clarity, you understand and agree: (a) that your purchase of a Pepsi Mic Drop NFT, whether via the Platform or otherwise, does not give you any rights or licenses in or to the Platform Materials (including, without limitation, our copyright in and to the associated Art) other than those expressly contained in Section 3(v) of these Terms; (b) that you do not have the right to reproduce, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any elements of the Platform Materials (including, without limitation, any Art) without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion; and (c) that you will not apply for, register, or otherwise use or attempt to use any of our trademarks or service marks, or any confusingly similar marks, anywhere in the world without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold at our sole and absolute discretion. All rights in and to the Art not expressly provided for in these Terms, or in the applicable terms or license provided when minting a Pepsi Mic Drop NFT are hereby reserved for Company. Company Owns and will retain all title, interest, ownership rights, intellectual property, and other proprietary rights in and to the Art.
(v) User License to Art. Subject to any specific terms and conditions provided by Company (if any) governing the sale of any individual Pepsi Mic Drop NFT, and subject to your continued compliance with these Terms and continued ownership of the Acquired NFT, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in connection with an ownership transfer of the Acquired NFT) license under Company’s rights in the Art, solely in the territories where Company has such rights, to use and display the Art associated with your Acquired NFTs, solely for your own personal, non-commercial use. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that you are permitted to sell, swap, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of Acquired NFTs, royalties may apply. Please refer to the specific terms and conditions that govern the sale of individual Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs as offered on the Platform. Your license to the Art will immediately terminate if you convey or otherwise relinquish your Acquired NFT for any reason. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms grants you the right to use any of Company’s trademarks. No trademark or other rights based on designation of source or original are licensed to you.
(vi) Restrictions on Ownership. For the avoidance of doubt, your license to Art under this agreement does not permit you or any third party to do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without our (and, as applicable, our licensors’) express prior written consent in each case: (a) modify the Art for your Acquired NFT in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes; (b) use the Art for your Acquired NFT to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (c); use the Art for your Acquired NFT in movies, videos, or any other forms of media, except to the limited extent that such use is expressly permitted in these Terms or solely for your own personal, non-commercial use; (d) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Art for your Acquired NFT; (e) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Art for your Acquired NFT; or (f) otherwise utilize the Art for your Acquired NFT for your or any third party’s commercial benefit.

(viii) Disassociation of Acquired NFT and Art. You specifically acknowledge and agree that your ownership of the Acquired NFT does not grant you any right, title, or interest in or to the Art except as expressly set forth herein, and that Company may remove or terminate access to the Art that is made accessible by the Acquired NFT if Company determines in good faith that the Art may be defamatory, violate applicable law, or infringe the intellectual property or other rights of a third party.
(ix) Other Terms of License. The license granted in Section 3(v) above applies only to the extent that you continue to Own the applicable Acquired NFT. If at any time you sell, swap, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your Acquired NFT for any reason, the license granted in Section 3(v) will immediately transfer to the new owner of the Acquired NFT and your own license will immediately expire with respect to that Pepsi Mic Drop NFT without the requirement of notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the Art for that Pepsi Mic Drop NFT. The restrictions in this Section 3 will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms.

From time to time, the Platform may include features and functionality that allow you to interact with other sites that are not under our control (“Linked Site”), including Social Media Sites. Company provides these features, functionality and links to you only as a convenience and does not endorse any Linked Sites or social media sites.

You may be able to sell, transfer, trade and transact your Acquired NFT on a third party marketplace. You acknowledge and agree that Platform may implement a transaction fee on any secondary sale of the Acquired NFT, and such transaction fees may be incorporated into the smart contract for such Acquired NFT. If you sell, transfer, trade and/or transact your Acquired NFT, you agree to cause any subsequent owner of the Pepsi Mic Drop NFT to agree to these terms as part of the applicable disposition of the Acquired NFT.

WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PLATFORM TO YOU WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK
(i) Value and Volatility. The prices of Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs can be extremely volatile and subjective, and Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs have no inherent or intrinsic value. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Pepsi Mic Drop NFT, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. Each Pepsi Mic Drop NFT has no inherent or intrinsic value. We cannot guarantee that any Pepsi Mic Drop NFT purchased will retain its original value, as the value of Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs is inherently subjective and factors occurring outside of the Platform ecosystem may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular Pepsi Mic Drop NFT. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs. Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs are not legal tender and are not backed by any government. Transactions in Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Some transactions in Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that you initiated the transaction. The value of Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency or digital assets for Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular Pepsi Mic Drop NFT should the market for that Pepsi Mic Drop NFT disappear.
You agree and understand that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks for yourself, and that we do not give advice or recommendations regarding Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs, including the suitability and appropriateness of, and investment strategies for, and tax consequences of, Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs. You agree and understand that you access and use this Site at your own risk; however, this brief statement does not disclose all of the risks associated with Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs and other digital assets.
(ii) Tax Calculations. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your NFT-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the Platform.
(iii) Use of Blockchain. The Platform does not store, send, or receive Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs. This is because Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Platform’s supporting blockchain in the Network. Any transfer of Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Network, and not on the Platform.
(iv) Inherent Risks with Digital Assets. There are risks associated with using Internet-based digital assets such as Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs and cryptocurrency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your electronic wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Network, however caused.
(v) Regulatory Uncertainty. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Company Platform ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of your Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs.
(vi) Software Risks. Upgrades to the Network, a hard fork in the Network, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Network may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the Network’s NFT standard, including the Company Platform ecosystem.

You acknowledge that in order for Company to be authorized to takedown any content, your DMCA Takedown Notice must comply with all of the requirements of this section.
Once you provide us with an adequate notice as described above, we will respond expeditiously and take whatever action, in our sole discretion, that is deemed appropriate including removal of the disputed copyrighted work from the Platform.

If you believe that a DMCA notice of copyright infringement has been improperly submitted against you, you may submit a counter-notice to the Designated Agent with the following information required by the DMCA:
Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the copyrighted work that has been removed or to which access has been disabled including a link to the page on the Platform that contained the material before it was removed or disabled;

In the event that the Company receives a counter-notice in compliance with the above requirements, we will provide the person who submitted the DMCA copyright infringement notice with a copy of the counter-notice, informing them that the Company will replace the removed material in 10 business days from the date of the counter-notice unless the Company first receives notice from the person who submitted the DMCA copyright infringement notice that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Framing, in-line linking or other methods of association with the Platform are expressly prohibited without prior written approval from Company.
10. Ability to Accept Terms
You affirm that you are more than eighteen (18) years of age, or otherwise of legal drinking age in your country of residence, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in the Terms, and to abide by and comply with the Terms.
11. Assignment
The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, except for the above-granted license to the Art (which shall automatically transfer to a new owner of a Acquired NFT in the event of sale, swapping, selling, or giving away, of the Acquired NFT), may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Company without restriction.
12. Notice
From time to time, we may revise these Terms. To help you stay current of any changes, Company may take one or more of the following steps: (1) Company notes the date the Terms was last updated above, and (2) when Company makes a material change to the Terms, we may post conspicuous announcements of such changes on the Platform next to the link to these Terms. Your use of the Platform following the posting of any revised Terms shall be deemed acceptance of the revised Terms. Company strongly recommends checking the Terms periodically. If we are required by law to obtain your express consent for any changes to the Terms, then we will make a commercially reasonable attempt to obtain your consent before implementing such revisions.
13. Changes to the Platform
Company is constantly innovating the Platform to help provide the best possible experience. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Platform, and any part of it, may change from time to time without prior notice to you, and that we may add new features and change any part of the Platform at any time without notice.
14. Binding Arbitration
Carefully read the following arbitration agreement ("Arbitration Agreement"). It requires you to arbitrate disputes with PepsiCo, Inc. and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Platform, to any Services sold or distributed through the Platform, including Pepsi Mic Drop NFTs, or to any aspect of your relationship with PepsiCo, Inc. will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or PepsiCo may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).
Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington Delaware 19808. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, PepsiCo will pay them for you. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or video conference or based on written submissions, or you may request to meet in-person for arbitration in New York City, New York. You agree that any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and PepsiCo. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. And you agree that to the extent monetary or non-monetary remedy or relief is granted, such a request for relief may be enforced as needed by any court of competent jurisdiction.
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND PEPSICO HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and PepsiCo are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as otherwise indicated in this Section. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Arbitration Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A OR COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: PepsiCo, Inc., 700 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, NY 10577, Attention Legal Department, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. You may also submit your decision to copyrights@pepsico.com. Your notice must include your name and address, the cryptocurrency wallet address you used to transact on this Platform (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
Except as provided herein, if any part or parts of these Terms, including the arbitration agreement in Section 14, are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of these Terms, including the arbitration agreement in Section 14, shall continue in full force and effect.
15. Miscellaneous
Company’s failure to enforce any provision of the Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. A printed version of the Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

We will use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. We will resume the performance of our obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause.

(iv) Referral to Governmental Authority. Company has the right, without provision of prior notice, to take appropriate legal action, including, without limitation, referral to law enforcement or regulatory authority, or notifying the harmed party of any illegal or unauthorized use of the Platform. Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone using the Platform.
(v) Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms, whether by you or us, you may no longer have access to information that you have posted on the Platform, and you acknowledge that we will have no obligation to maintain any such information in our databases or to forward any such information to you or to any third party. Sections 1 through 18 will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms for any reason, except that the license to the Art granted to you under Section 3 shall immediately terminate.
YOU WAIVE AND HOLD US AND OUR PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND OUR AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, LICENSEES, SUPPLIERS, AND SUCCESSORS HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY US AND ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES RELATING TO ANY INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER US OR SUCH PARTIES OR BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
