Terms of Services

Effective date: 14 February 2023  

1. Terms

The terms of this agreement (“Terms of Services” or “Agreement”) govern the relationship between you and BLOCKGATE BILGI TEKNOLOJILERI OYUN YAZILIM HIZMETLERI VE PAZARLAMA ANONIM SIRKETI, its subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership and/or any of their agents, consultants, employees, officers and directors (collectively, “BlockGate”) and applies to your access to and use of www.block-gate.com website and any other mobile applications, websites, games and/or any services related to games that are made available by BlockGate on the Apple App Store, Google Play App Store, Amazon App Store or on Facebook (collectively, the “Services”). Car Warriors is a distributed application that is going to launch and run on the Binance Smart Chain (the “Blockchain”), using a specially-developed system called Smart Contract (the “Smart Contract”) to enable users to battle as well as own, trade heroes with different rarities. These assets can then be visualized on a website that the user can interact with the Site. The Smart Contract and the Site are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “App”. By using the App, users can manage their assets and use the Smart Contract to battle and trade with other App users. Prior to your accessing or using the Services, please read these Terms of Services and the Privacy Policy carefully. THESE ARE LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND BLOCKGATE. BY INSTALLING, USING OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICES AND PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES OR CEASE USE OF THEM IMMEDIATELY. USE OF THE SERVICE IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICES ARE LICENSED, NOT SOLD, TO YOU. Information on the Site, the App, and the Smart Contract are not intended for distributing to or being used by any single person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be against its existing laws or regulations as well as any circumstance would subject us to any registration requirements within the territories of said jurisdiction or country. As a matter of fact, people who make their decisions to access the Site and/or the App from outside from our base country are deemed to have the understanding of doing so on their own choices and therefore are legally eligible for compliance with local laws, assuming they are applicable to them to some extent.

2. Changes to Terms or Services

BlockGate reserves the right to amend, change, modify, add or remove portions of the Terms of Services and Privacy Policy at any time, at its sole discretion, by posting the updated version on its website and within the games. You will be deemed to have accepted such changes by continuing to use any of the Services. If at any point you do not agree to any portion of the current version of the Terms of Services, the Privacy Policy or any other BlockGate policy, rules or codes of conduct relating to your use of the Services, then you must cease your use of the Services, and your license to use the Services will be immediately terminated. For your convenience, the date of last revision is included at the top of this page. BlockGate may make changes to the Services at any time or discontinue your access to the Services at any time without warning and without a refund of any kind. You understand and hereby agree that BlockGate may discontinue or restrict your use of the Services for any reason and without notice or compensation.

Such actions may result in the loss of your account, information, persona, benefits and in-game purchases. BlockGate is not and will not be held responsible for any information, persona, rankings, benefits and losses incurred, and is under no obligation to compensate you for any of this. BlockGate may also stop offering and/or supporting the Services, including, but not limited to, any particular game or part of the Services at any time, at which point your license to use the Services or a part thereof will be automatically terminated. In such an event, BlockGate shall not be required to provide refunds, benefits or other compensation to users in connection with such discontinued or terminated Services.

You hereby grant to BlockGate and its licensors, including, without limitation, its respective successors and assigns, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable, transferable, worldwide, paid-up right to reproduce, fix, adapt, modify, translate, reformat, create derivative works from, manufacture, introduce into circulation, publish, distribute, sell, license, sublicense, transfer, rent, lease, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform or provide access to electronically broadcast, communicate to the public by telecommunication, display, perform, enter into computer memory and use and practice such User Content as well as all modified and derivative works thereof, without compensation to you.

BlockGate does not screen or monitor User Content submitted on the Services. The users of the Services bear all risk associated with its use, including, but not limited to, exposure to offensive and indecent content. Though it is not obligated to, BlockGate reserves the right in its sole discretion to monitor, prohibit, review, edit, delete and/or disable access to or make unavailable any User Content without notice for any reason or for no reason at any time for the purpose of operating the Services, to ensure compliance with these Terms and to comply with applicable law or other legal requirements.

You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of any User Content, including, without limitation, chat text or voice communications.

4.4 Public Forums

BlockGate provides fun pages, forums, blogs and chat features in the Services, in which users can post information. Users may post topics of interest, general information, comments and sometimes even personal information in these mediums. You understand that BlockGate is not responsible for any information posted in the Services or whether others will view your information, comments and topics in the same light. Please do not submit, upload, write or transmit any information in the Services you deem to be confidential.

Furthermore, no compensation will be provided for any ideas, schemes or uses of any information provided in these mediums.

You will fully cooperate with BlockGate to investigate any suspected unlawful, fraudulent or improper activity, including, without limitation, granting BlockGate access to any password-protected portions of your Account. If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and BlockGate’ officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

5. Fees and Purchase Terms

5.1 Virtual Items

You may purchase with “real world” money a limited, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, revocable license to use (a) “virtual currency,” including but not limited to virtual cash, in-game coins and all other kinds of in-game monies, all for use in the games; (b) virtual in-game items (virtual currency and virtual in-game items referred to collectively as “Virtual Items”); and (c) other goods or services (“Merchandise”) within the Services for your personal and non-commercial entertainment. You are only allowed to purchase Virtual Items from BlockGate or its authorized partners through the Services, not in any other way. You understand that BlockGate has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Items and may revoke your access to them at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. BlockGate shall have no liability to you or any Third Party in the event that BlockGate exercises any such rights. You have no claim, right, title, proprietary or ownership interest in any of the Virtual Items regardless of any consideration paid for those virtual items.

5.2 WALLETS and DIGITAL ASSETS

Car Warriors allows its users to access and manage ERC20 digital blockchain-based assets (“Digital Assets”). Your wallet, Digital Assets, and cryptocurrencies are completely in your own control. You are the one and only one responsible for manipulating your fund to perform any transfers of Digital Assets. We cannot interfere with any of your Digital Assets storage and transactions from your wallets in any case. Car Warriors does not maintain any blockchain wallets. You hereby acknowledge and agree that Car Warriors has no liability for or control over the safety, suitability, quality, delivery, legality, or other aspects of any of your Digital Assets.

5.3 NFTs

You can purchase NFTs (“MODS” and “Avatars”). The number of Mod Collections now is 3 coming with distinctively different styles and we hope to make this number bigger in near future. When the marketplace is launched and players are allowed to make transactions with others, please note that such transactions are conducted solely through the Blockchain via a designated wallet and currency (CWAR). We will keep no information and provide no control, support, and the ability to reverse reported transactions. In general, we have no liability to you or to any third party for any alleged problems that arise during the alleged trades and transactions conducted via the Smart Contract, the Blockchain. The Blockchain requires the payment of a transaction fee for every transaction that occurs in the marketplace. The fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized network rather than as profits. In addition to the fee, each time you use the Smart Contract to conduct a transaction with another user via the App, you are agreed to allow us to collect a commission of 10% of the total value of that transaction. You should have a clear understanding that the commission will be transferred directly to us through the Blockchain as a part of the transaction. As a matter of fact, we (we and you users) will be legally responsible for paying any types of cost, duty, and tax as your government requests. Such numbers will vary according to your jurisdictions and countries as well as the national laws and regulations.

5.4 Fees, Refunds and Return Policy

All sales through the Service are final. You acknowledge and agree that any applicable fees and other charges (including, without limitation, virtual items) are not refundable in whole or in part. You are fully liable for all charges to your account, including any unauthorized charges. BlockGate does not issue any refunds or offer any exchanges of any products purchased on or through the Services. IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED, RECEIVE MONEY, OR BE OTHERWISE COMPENSATED FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS OR OTHER GAME ASSETS WHEN THE SERVICES ARE TERMINATED FOR ANY REASON AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY. BlockGate may, at any time, revise or change the pricing, availability, specifications, content, descriptions or features of the game or any products sold through the Services. The inclusion of any products through the Services at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products will be available at any other time. All such changes will be effective immediately upon posting of such new product prices to the Services.

6. Updates to the Services

You acknowledge and agree that BlockGate may update the Services and the games you have installed on your computer or mobile device with or without notifying you.

7. Third-party Services

The Services or/and the games may include links to Third-party services and/or the Third-party services may be made available to you via the Services or the games. The Third-party services may include, but are not limited to, gameplay recording and sharing, social media connectivity and the like. You acknowledge and agree that Third-party services are subject to respective Third-party terms and conditions. Please read these Third-party terms and conditions because they constitute an agreement between you and the applicable Third-party service provider.

8. Feedback

BlockGate welcomes feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). You can submit Feedback by emailing us at contact@block-gate.com or by posting your Feedback on “Customer Review” within the games or on the app-store pages. You grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable license under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to BlockGate, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.

9. Disclaimers

You expressly understand and agree that your access to and use of the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts are at your sole risk and that the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, we, our subsidiaries, affiliates, and licensors make no express warranties and hereby disclaim all implied warranties regarding the site, the app and the smart contracts and any part of it (including, but not limited to, the site, any smart contract, or any external websites), including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, correctness, accuracy, or reliability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we, our subsidiaries, affiliates, and licensors do not represent or warrant to you that: (i) your access to or use of the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts will meet your requirements, (ii) your access to or use of the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or free from error, (iii) usage data provided through the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts will be accurate, (iv) the Site, the App and the Smart Contracts or any content, services, or features made available on or through the Site, the App and the Smart Contracts are free of viruses or other harmful components, or (v) that any data that you disclose when you use the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts will be secured. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties in contracts with consumers, so some or all of the above exclusions may not apply to you. You accept the inherent security risks of providing information and dealing online over the Internet and agree that we have no liability or responsibility for any breach of security unless it is due to our gross negligence. We will not be responsible or liable to you for any losses you incur as the result of your use of the Blockchain, including but not limited to any losses, damages, or claims arising from: (a) user error, such as forgotten passwords or incorrectly construed smart contracts or other transactions; (b) server failure or data loss; (c) corrupted wallet files; (d) unauthorized access or activities by third parties, including but not limited to the use of viruses, phishing, brute-forcing, or other means of attack against the app, Ethereum network, or the Metamask electronic wallet. Mods and Avatars are intangible digital assets that exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Blockchain. All smart contracts are conducted and occur on the decentralized ledger within the polygon network. BlockGate has no control over and makes no guarantees or promises with respect to the smart contract. Car Warriors is not responsible for losses due to the blockchains or any other features of the Blockchain. Including but not limited to late report by developers or representatives (or no report at all) of any issues with the blockchain including forks, technical node issues, or any other issues having fund losses as a result.

10. Limitation of Liability

You understand and agree that we, our subsidiaries, affiliates, and licensors will not be liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages which you may have, including, but not limited to, any loss of profits (both directly and indirectly), loss of goodwill or business reputation, loss of data, cost of procurement of substitute goods or services, or any other intangible loss, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. You agree and acknowledge that our total, aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these terms or your access to or use of (or your inability to access or use) any portion of the site, the app, and the smart contracts, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you actually paid us under these terms in the twelve (12) month period preceding the date the claim arose, or (b) one hundred (100) US dollars. You agree and acknowledge that we have made the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts available to you and entered into these terms in reliance upon the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth herein, which reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between the parties and form an essential basis of the bargain between us. We would not be able to provide the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts to you without these limitations.

11. Assumption of Risk

  You accept and acknowledge each of the following: (1). The prices of blockchain assets are easy to change because the fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Mods and Avatars, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any owners or purchasers of Mods and Avatars will not lose money. (2). You are solely responsible for any taxes applied to your Mods and Avatars-related transactions, according to your own country’s or region’s tax rules. BlockGate is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the App, the Site, or the Smart Contract. (3). The App does not store, send, and receive Mods and Avatars. This is because Mods and Avatars exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the App’s supporting blockchain. Any transfer of Mods and Avatars occurs only on the Blockchain. (4). There are risks and limitations associated with using an Internet-based currency, 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 wallet. You accept and acknowledge that BlockGate will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions, or delays you may experience when using the Blockchain. (5). A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Car Warriors ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Mods and Avatars.

12.Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold BlockGate harmless from any claim, demand, damages or other losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, asserted by any Third Party resulting from or arising out of any breach by you of this Terms of Services. BlockGate reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify BlockGate, and you agree to cooperate with BlockGate’ defense of these claims. BlockGate will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it. You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your Account(s) or of the Services.

13. Dispute Resolution and Applicable Law             

If a dispute arises between you and BlockGate, BlockGate strongly encourages you to first contact BlockGate directly to seek a resolution by opening a help ticket directly in-game via the help section or contact BlockGate at contact@block-gate.com. You agree that all disputes between you and BlockGate shall be governed by the laws of Turkey by a court located in Istanbul without regard to conflict of law provisions, and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such a court.

14. No Class Actions

You and BlockGate can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A CLASS ACTION AND CAN ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST BLOCKGATE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. That means:
  • neither you nor BlockGate may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action or representative action;
  • the arbitrator or court cannot combine more than one person’s claim into a single case and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative arbitration proceeding (unless you and BlockGate both agree to change this); and
  • the arbitrator’s or court’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact the person who brought the claim, not other users of the Services, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other users.

15. Severability

If any portion of these Terms of Services or of the Privacy Policy is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

16. Assignment

BlockGate may assign or delegate these Terms of Services and/or the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time, with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms of Services or Privacy Policy without BlockGate’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is ineffective.

17. Supplemental Policies

BlockGate may publish additional policies related to specific services such as forums, contests or loyalty programs. Your right to use such services is subject to those specific policies and these Terms of Services.

18.  Entire Agreement

The Terms of Services and Privacy Policy contain the entire understanding of you and BlockGate and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, whether electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and us with respect to the Services.

19. No Waiver

The failure of BlockGate to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms of Services or the Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of BlockGate’ right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by BlockGate of any provision, condition or requirement of these Terms of Services or the Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement. Except as expressly and specifically set forth in these Terms of Services, no representations, statements, consents, waivers or other acts or omissions by BlockGate shall be deemed a modification of these Terms of Services nor legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by you and a duly appointed officer of BlockGate.

20. Equitable Remedies

You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms of Services to BlockGate are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm BlockGate and that cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone, so that BlockGate shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Services or the games, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith or exploitation of the Services or any content or other material used or displayed through the Services and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any), limited by Sections 5.2 and 11.

21. Force Majeure

BlockGate shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, without limitation, any failure to perform hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond BlockGate’ control such as natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

22. Partnership

You agree that your use of the Services does not constitute any joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship between you and BlockGate as a result of this Agreement.

23. Advertisers

We provide areas within the Site and the App for advertisements and other information. Advertisers are fully responsible for the reliability of the advertisements, including the services and products. These advertisements should not violate any rules, and advertisers must prove that they have the following rights, but are not limited to, intellectual property rights, publicity rights, and contractual rights. We hold no responsibility if there are any violations regarding these rights.

24. Notices

BlockGate may notify you via postings on www.block-gate.com, on app-store pages of the games, on Social Networking Sites, in the games and via e-mail or any other communication means using contact information you provide to us.
