However, we accept no responsibility or liability for loss of a Name NFT for any reason, including if you fail to transfer such NFTs after receiving such notice.
Despite the above, if you hold a Scheme Token in your BTX Wallet then this Section 2.5 is subject to the terms of issue of interests in the Horse Scheme.
2.6 External Non-Custodial Wallet
We may, but have no obligation to, provide functionalities to allow you to choose to associate a non-custodial wallet (by way of example, a MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet) (âExternal Non-Custodial Walletâ) with your Account. External Non-Custodial Wallets allow you to purchase, store and engage in transactions using the interface provided by the BTX Platform. Associating an External Non-Custodial Wallet, or a specific type thereof (e.g., a MetaMask wallet) may be required as a condition to receiving an NFT, as provided in the specific terms and conditions of an individual drop.
By using an External Non-Custodial Wallet in connection with the Services, you agree that you are using such External Non-Custodial Wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable providers of such External Non-Custodial Wallet. For example, for the MetaMask wallet, those terms and conditions are available at https://metamask.io/terms.html.
External Non-Custodial Wallets are not associated with, maintained by, supported by, or affiliated with Company. Company reserves the right to refuse to associate an External Non-Custodial Wallet with a Userâs Account in its sole and exclusive discretion. If you attempt to associate your Account with an External Non-Custodial Wallet bearing risk factors, such attempts may result in the suspension or termination of your Account, each as determined in Companyâs sole and exclusive discretion.

2.7 Wallet Transfers
We may, but have no obligation to, provide functionalities via the Services whereby you can transfer items from one wallet to another, such as from your BTX Wallets to other wallets such as External Non-Custodial Wallets.
Transfers and other transactions between the Services and External Non-Custodial Wallets may be facilitated by one or more smart contracts that Company has not developed and does not control. You acknowledge the risk of smart contracts and agree to be bound by the outcome of any smart contract operation that you initiate or that is initiated at your direction.
We accept no liability or responsibility for any such transfer, including for any loss, data corruption, or other negative impact that may occur to your NFTs or wallets or other assets when attempting to transfer assets between wallets.
Transfers of Scheme Tokens require the approval of the Responsible Entity (or the approval by BTX where BTX has delegated authority from or a standing approval from the Responsible Entity about such transfers).
2.8 Distributions Wallet
From time to time, as the holder of an interest in the Horse Scheme, you may be entitled to receive income or capital distributions from the Horse Scheme (whether during the investment period of the relevant class of interests or on the termination and winding up of the relevant class of interests) as described in the Product Disclosure Statement referable to the relevant class of interests in the Horse Scheme. Those distributions may be placed in a distributions account maintained by the Responsible Entity on terms described in the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (“Distributions Accountâ), and displayed in a digital wallet over which BTX or BTX’s nominee has custody (“Distributions Wallet”). The Distributions Wallet constitutes a non-cash payment facility under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and BTX is the issuer of this facility. To provide the Distributions Wallet, we and the Responsible Entity rely on the relief from the application of regulatory requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) provided by ASIC for low-value non-cash payment facilities set out in ASIC Corporations (Non-cash Payment Facilities) Instrument 2016/211 (“Instrument”).
In accordance with the Instrument, we state as follows:
a) The terms and conditions of the Distributions Wallet can be changed by us at any time. If those terms and conditions are changed, we will notify you of the change and you can find our new terms and conditions on our Website or through the App;
b) The Distributions Wallet will not expire;
c) If there is an unauthorised or mistaken transaction relating to your Distributions Wallet, you must notify us as soon as possible and provide us with all relevant information relating to the particular transaction. We will then undertake an investigation to understand what occurred. Following our investigation, we will seek to resolve and address the matter as required by law within a reasonable period of time;
d) We do not impose fees or charges for issuing, or otherwise making available, the Distributions Wallet. However, if you request your money to be transferred to your nominated Australian bank/credit union account, any applicable fees or charges levied by a financial institution or Stripe relating to your transfer will be deducted from your transfer amount; and
e) Where the payment of any income or capital distributions from the Horse Scheme (whether during the investment period of the relevant class of interests or on the termination and winding up of the relevant class of interests) into the Distributions Account and as shown in your Distributions Wallet would be unavailable or otherwise result in the inability to rely on the regulatory relief set out in the Instrument (such as your Distributions Wallet holding a balance in excess of $1,000), that payment may instead be made directly to your nominated bank/credit union account.
You are not entitled to any interest or other accretions on or in respect of funds in your Distributions Wallet, and we and/or the Responsible Entity are entitled to retain for our own account any interest or accretions that are earned on, or in respect of, such funds. By agreeing to these terms and conditions you consent to those funds being deposited in a non-interest bearing account held by the Responsible Entity with an authorised deposit-taking institution on terms described in the Product Disclosure Statement referable to the relevant class of interests in the Horse Scheme.
Where the functionality is available, we will permit you to withdraw some or all of the funds shown in your Distributions Wallet. We may also permit you to use funds shown in your Distributions Wallet to purchase goods or services available on the BTX Platform. More information about payments into and from the Distributions Account is set out in the relevant Product Disclosure Statement for the class of interests in the Horse Scheme you hold.
You may check the amount standing to the credit of your Distributions Wallet, and a record of recent transactions in your Distributions Wallet, on the App.
We may terminate the functionality for the Distributions Wallet at any time in our discretion. Where this occurs, any moneys shown in the Distributions Wallet will be transferred to persons entitled to it, and otherwise if it is unclaimed in accordance with applicable unclaimed moneys legislation.

Company has no obligation or liability to you for keeping, storing, or helping you recover any NFT that you purchase hereunder.
3.7 Limited editions and Unique NFTs
The Company will generally advise how many individual NFTs it is offering in the Horse Scheme or edition. In certain instances, a purchase of a NFT may come with a commitment by the Company that the NFT will be âone of a kindâ or a similar designation (âUnique NFTâ). In such an instance, Company commits that it will not sell any other NFT featuring the same Content or attached privileges as associated with such Unique NFT. Company will also provide you such documentation as determined by Company that attests that Company has not sold or distributed or otherwise made available any other NFT that is associated with the same Content or associated utility as associated with your Unique NFT. For clarity, Company does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that others have not created or downloaded their own copies of such Content (including via unauthorized ripping or downloading of such Content), or that others will not attempt to sell their own NFTs featuring such Content. Company has no obligation or liability to take down such other NFTs featuring such Content. Further, the foregoing does not restrict the Company from selling other Content associated with the same event, individual or property as featured in any Unique NFT, if such other Content or associated utility are different from the Content or associated utility of the Unique NFT (e.g., different image, art, camera angle, background music, privileges, etc.).
3.8 Signed NFTs

This includes being asked to provide personal information to complete a âKnow Your Customerâ process, which will require you to complete an identification process and provide copies of identity documents, and to supply other personal information for the purposes of applying for interests in the Horse Scheme. Once you have been verified, subsequent purchases can be completed without this verification step.
In the event that you are unable to complete a suitable verification of identity process upon request, or are otherwise ineligible to own interests in the Horse Scheme, you acknowledge that the Responsible Entity will be unable to issue interests in the Horse Scheme to you and will refund any subscription moneys paid.

8. Third-Party Services and Materials
8.1 Use of Third-Party Materials in the Services
The Services may display, include, or make available content, data, information, applications, or materials from third parties (âThird-Party Materialsâ) or provide links to certain Third-Party websites. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that the Company is not responsible for examining or evaluating the content, accuracy, completeness, availability, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality or any other aspect of such Third-Party Materials or websites.
We do not warrant or endorse and do not assume and will not have any liability or responsibility to you or any other person for any Third-Party services, Third-Party Materials or Third-Party websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third parties. Third-Party Materials and links to other websites are provided solely as a convenience to you.
8.2 Purchases on Third-Party Platforms
The Services may direct you to NFTs available for purchase on a Third-Party Platform. For clarity, a Third-Party Platform is not part of the BTX Platform.
When you click âPurchaseâ for a NFT that is only available for purchase on a Third-Party Platform, you will be redirected to a page on the Third-Party Platform where you may complete your purchase (subject to any applicable rules of transfer imposed by BTX or the Responsible Entity), or to a staging area (e.g., a queue) before the specific NFT is available for purchase. Your use of any Third-Party Platform is subject to that siteâs terms of use or terms of service, as applicable, and you must comply with applicable Third-Party terms of use or terms of service when completing your purchase and for any subsequent engagement with the NFT through the Third-Party Platform. If you do not have an Account with the Third-Party Platform at the time you attempt a purchase, you will be required to establish a User Account, with an approved payment method, to complete a purchase for the selected NFT.
The Third-Party Platformâs terms of service will disclose the custody or ownership model for the NFTs purchased through such Third-Party Platforms, which may include a custodial wallet made available to you by such Third-Party Platform (âThird-Party Platform Walletâ) or which may allow you to mint or transfer such NFTs into one or more External Non-Custodial Wallets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and the Company acknowledge that the Third-Party Platform is not responsible for addressing, and you release the Third-Party Platform from, any claims of yours or any Third-Party arising out of or relating to the purchase of a BTX NFT including, but not limited to:
a) product liability or breach of warranty claims;
b) any claim that the Company NFTs fail to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and
c) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
You and the Company acknowledge that, in the event of any Third-Party claim that the BTX NFT or your possession and use of that BTX NFT infringes that Third-Party claimantâs intellectual property rights, the Company, not the operator of the Third-Party Platform, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that the operators of any such Third-Party Platform, together with its subsidiaries, sub-licensees, employees and contractors, are Third-Party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your use of such Third-Party Platform for purchase of the BTX NFTs, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, such operators of any Third-Party Platform will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a Third-Party beneficiary thereof.
Any NFT purchased on a Third-Party Platform can only redeem any economic or reward entitlements attached to that token by registering an Account on the BTX website or App, completing the BTX KYC process and for Scheme Tokens receiving the approval of the Responsible Entity (or the approval by BTX where BTX has delegated authority from or a standing approval from the Responsible Entity about such transfers).
8.3 Secondary market users
Any secondary trading activity of BTX issued NFTs that were originally purchased in the BTX Platform will be conducted between participants (i.e., buyers and sellers).
For information about secondary trading activity of a Scheme Token, please refer to the terms of the Product Disclosure Statement referable to the class of interests in the Horse Scheme relating to the Scheme Token.
By participating on the Secondary Market, you acknowledge your understanding that:
a) all transactions will be executed only by direct electronic communications between Users, using tools made available on the Secondary Market;
b) all negotiations and funds settlement activities will be performed by Users and independent Third-Party banks and will not involve BTX, and
c) BTX will not receive, transfer, or hold funds or securities as an incident of operating the Secondary Market.
You transact in such markets at your own risk and could lose all the money in your Account(s) because of unauthorized transfers. As each token has a specified term, the term associated with that token does not change with a transfer in the secondary market. Furthermore, the holder of the token at the date of BTX distributions will be entitled to that distribution. For the avoidance of doubt if you are the original holder of the token and your horse wins prizemoney that has not been distributed yet by BTX, on transfer of your token to another party that party will be entitled to the prizemoney when it is distributed by BTX.
Any financial transactions that you engage in through a Secondary Market will be conducted solely through the Ethereum and Polygon networks. We have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. With that in mind, we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise because of any transactions that you engage in via the App, or using the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the Ethereum and Polygon networks or your Wallet software. Ethereum & Polygon requires the payment of a transaction fee (a âGas Feeâ) for every transaction that occurs on the network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the App.
In addition to the Gas Fee, each time you utilise a Smart Contract to conduct a transaction with another User, you authorize BTX to collect a commission on certain events only (a âCommissionâ). These events include purchasing or selling of an NFT. You acknowledge and agree that the Commission will be transferred directly to us through the Ethereum network as part of your payment.
We will have no liability or responsibility for your compliance with laws or regulations governing the transfer and use of NFTs. Further, you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable requirements of any laws, rules, and regulations of governmental authorities in Your Jurisdiction.
You further acknowledge that we will not be, by virtue of providing NFTs to you, an advisor or fiduciary to you. Neither party will be liable to the other for any Loss or Claim in the nature of consequential or indirect loss, including without limitation loss of profits, loss of chance, loss of expectations, or loss or opportunity. Our total liability to you under any circumstances is limited to the amount for which an NFT was originally sold by us or the amount of Commission we received for a sale or transfer of NFTs and we shall not be liable for any amount above these sums.
9. Horse Ownership and Management
9.1 Horse Ownership
As part of the Services offered, the Company:
a) provides a digital record of interests in Horse Scheme in relation to which it is the appointed manager and authorised representative of the responsible entity, Sire Custodians Ltd ABN 45 005 088 371 (AFSL 223671) (âResponsible Entityâ). The Horse Scheme holds, or proposes to acquire, specified interests in racehorses, broodmares, or stallions, and the Company provides a service to the Responsible Entity of maintaining a digital record of interests in the Horse Scheme; and
b) provides you with tools to locate an interest in a horse offered through the Horse Scheme meeting your criteria, including the relevant Product Disclosure Statement and target market determination issued by the Responsible Entity in relation to the relevant class of interests in the Horse Scheme relating to the relevant horse, in compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
It is important to note that BTX does not own the interests that are being issued in the Horse Scheme and that users are acquiring the interests from the Responsible Entity in relation to the relevant class of interests in the Horse Scheme. You will need to review the Product Disclosure Statement, target market determination and any other information carefully in respect of the relevant class of interests in the Horse Scheme and make your own independent judgment regarding your review of such information and selection of a racehorse ownership scheme. The Product Disclosure Statement and target market determination for each class of interests available for acquisition by users is available from [insert where these documents can be obtained]. You should consider the relevant Product Disclosure Statement for the relevant class of interests in the Horse Scheme in deciding whether to acquire, or to continue to hold, an interest in the relevant class of interests in the Horse Scheme.
BTX does not make any recommendations for any horse (or the related Horse Scheme) or endorse one horse over another.
9.2 Horse Management and Feedback
BTX may or may not own a share of any of the horses that are listed on the Website or the App. In some cases, BTX may acquire some or all the interests in one or more classes of interests in Horse Scheme that are not taken up by users but makes no representation that it will do so.
9.3 Risks of Horse Racing
BTX does not have or express any opinion on the value of the horses being acquired by the Horse Scheme. We are an exchange, providing tools to assist you in locating an investment in the Horse Scheme. Horse racing ownership is risky. Horses are living, breathing, fragile animals and significant expenses are associated with their ownership and care. No guarantees can ever be made about the outcomes of a certain investment in a racehorse. Most investments lose money. Some break even, and a few are profitable, and a very few, are extremely profitable. Before acquiring an interest in the Horse Scheme, you should read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement, which sets out the risks of investing in the Horse Scheme. If you are unsure as to whether to acquire, to continue to hold, interests in the Horse Scheme, you should consult your professional adviser.
10. General Terms
10.1 Disclaimers
If you hold a Scheme Token, your liability is governed under the terms of issue of interests in the Horse Scheme, which includes the terms of the constitution of the Horse Scheme and the terms of the Product Disclosure Statement referable to the class of interests in the Horse Scheme relating to the Scheme Token.

10.2 Limitations of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, any conditions, warranties, guarantees, rights, remedies, liabilities, and other terms implied or conferred by statute, custom or the general law that impose any liability or obligation on us are excluded under these Terms. If a supply under these Terms is a supply of goods or services to a consumer within the meaning of the Australian Consumer Law, nothing contained in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies the application of any provision, the exercise of any right or remedy or the imposition of any liability under the Australian Consumer Law except to the extent that we are permitted to limit our liability. Where our liability can be so limited then it is limited to, except in the case of a major failure, to our election between the remedies in the case of:
a) services, the cost of supplying the services again or payment of the costs of having the services supplied again; and
b) goods, the cost of replacing the goods, supplying goods, or having the goods repaired, or payment of the cost of replacing the goods, supplying equivalent goods, or having the goods repaired.
Subject to the above, you acknowledge and agree that we do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that the Service is free from any viruses or other defect or error which may affect your software or systems. To the extent not prohibited by law, you agree that in no event will the company entities be liable:
a) for damages of any kind, including direct, indirect, special, exemplary, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, procurement of substitute goods or services, loss of use, data , wallet keys, or profits, business interruption or any other damages or losses, arising out of or related to your use or inability to use the services), however caused and under any theory of liability, whether under these terms or otherwise arising in any way in connection with the services or these terms and whether in contract, strict liability or tort (including negligence or otherwise) even if the company entities have been advised of the possibility of such damage, or
b) for any other claim, demand or damages whatsoever resulting from or arising out of or in connection with these terms or the delivery, use or performance of the services. The companyâs total liability to you for damages finally awarded shall not exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00), or the amount you paid the company, if any, in the past six (6) months for the services (or NFTs purchased on the services) giving rise to the claim. The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.
10.3 Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold BTX including our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or unitholders harmless from any claims, actions, suits, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including legal costs on a solicitor and own client basis) relating to or arising out of your use of the Service or acquisition of interests in the Horse Scheme or related products, including:
a) your violation or breach of this Agreement;
b) your violation of any rights of any Third-Party;
c) your misuse of the Services;
d) your use of an External Non-Custodial Wallet or Third-Party Wallet with the Services;

g) any other activities in connection with the Service.
This indemnity shall be applicable without regard to the negligence of any party, including any indemnified person.
10.4 Assumption of NFT and Blockchain risks
You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with purchasing and holding NFTs and using blockchain technology. You acknowledge that you have obtained sufficient information to make an informed decision to purchase an NFT, including carefully reviewing the code of the smart contract and the NFT and fully understand and accept the functions of the same.
The risks associated with purchasing and holding NFTs and using blockchain technology include:
a) (Inherent risks with internet currency) There is a risk of losing access to NFTs due to loss of a PIN, wallet keys, two-factor authentication devices, or log-in information, custodial error or purchaser error, smart contract error, risk of mining or blockchain attacks, risk of hacking, phishing and security weaknesses, risk of personal information disclosure, risk of uninsured losses, unanticipated risks, and volatility risks. There are also risks associated with using an Internet based Service, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, and the risk of the introduction of malicious software. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failure, disruptions, errors, distortions of delays you may experience outside of our reasonable control.
b) (Regulatory uncertainty) The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, NFTs and cryptocurrencies is uncertain, and there is a risk of unfavourable regulatory intervention in one or more jurisdictions or risks related to token taxation. This may adversely affect the development of the BTX Platform and therefore the potential utility or value of your NFTs.
c) (Value and volatility) The prices of NFTs, including collectible blockchain assets, are extremely volatile and subjective and have no inherent or intrinsic value. Each NFT has no inherent or intrinsic value. Fluctuations in the price of NFTs could materially and adversely affect the value of your NFTs. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the BTX Platform, and therefore the potential utility or value of your NFTs.
d) (Use of blockchain) The App or Website do not store, send or receive NFTs. Instead, the balance of NFTs held by you are represented in the BTX Wallets. This is because NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the App and Websiteâs supporting blockchain in the Polygon network. Any transfer of NFTs occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Polygon network and not on the App and Website. Upgrades to any blockchain network or hard forks in such networks, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on such blockchain networks may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains, including any that are related to your NFTs.
e) (Purchasing risks) Any purchase or sale you make, accept, or facilitate outside of the BTX Platform of an NFT will be entirely at your risk. Any use of a wallet will be entirely at your own risk. Except as may otherwise be provided in these Terms, we do not control or endorse purchases or sales of NFTs outside of the BTX Platform.
You are solely responsible to pay all sales, use, value-added, GST and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority associated with your use of the Services. Except for income taxes levied on us, you:
a) will be solely responsible for reporting any tax obligations when, if ever, such obligations arise because of your use of the Services or in relation to an NFT;
b) will pay or reimburse Company for all national, federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including GST as may be required, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and
c) will not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties, or assessments from payments (including Gas Fees) made to us pursuant to these Terms. Neither these Terms nor any other communication from Company constitutes tax advice, and users are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to their interaction with the Services.
We expressly deny and disclaim any liability to you and deny any obligation to indemnify you or hold you harmless for any losses you may incur by transacting, or facilitating transactions, in NFTs outside of the BTX Platform.
10.5 Third-Party Links
Any links to Third-Party sites, either on the Service or on other social media sites on which we maintain a presence, are provided for your convenience only and we are not responsible for their use, effect, or content. If you access Third-Party sites, you acknowledge that you are subject to any terms and conditions which are imposed by those sites. We do not provide any warranty or assume responsibility about the accuracy, source, quality, or fitness for purpose of any content on any Third-Party site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by BTX of the website or a relationship with the organisations to which links are provided.
10.6 Posting Comments
The Service and/or any other social media sites on which we maintain a presence, may enable you to post comments (e.g., forums, blogs, reviews etc.). Any comments that you post (or which are posted using your username and password) are your responsibility and you agree to indemnify us in respect of any claims for loss or damage resulting from any content you post that infringes on our rights or the rights of any Third-Party.
