About Artnesh

Status & scope

This draft describes the proposed service rules for the Bad Ape / ARTNESH website. References to Broker Punks identify a related collection or external service; they do not establish a legal partnership, financial guarantee, or shared operator.

Collection-specific licenses, event rules, checkout disclosures, and smart-contract terms must be published before the relevant feature becomes transactional. Where a feature is unavailable or marked preview, it does not create an entry, bid, purchase, prize, or financial entitlement.

The Live Sales ticker currently displays sample activity, not a verified transaction feed. Raffle and auction previews include illustrative counts, prices, timers, and results. The reported $5,000 holder-distribution total is owner-reported; verified receipts have not been supplied.

Eligibility

Paid games, raffles, and auctions are intended only for adults aged 18 or above, or the higher minimum age required where they live. Participation must be lawful in both the participant's location and the event's operating jurisdiction.

Holder-only benefits require an eligible NFT on the specified chain and may require a wallet signature and current ownership check. Ownership, staking treatment, token allowance, entry limits, and deadlines must follow the published rules. Access is not proof that all legal eligibility checks have been completed.

Do not bypass location, age, sanctions, ownership, or participation restrictions. Features that require additional checks must remain unavailable until those checks are implemented.

Wallets & security

You control your wallet and must protect its credentials, verify the chain and recipient, and inspect every signature, approval, and transaction. The website does not ask you to submit a seed phrase or private key.

A sign-in message authenticates an address; it is different from a payment or token approval. A connected session does not authorize every future transaction. Changing accounts may require signing in again. Disconnecting the website does not revoke existing on-chain approvals.

Wallet providers and browser extensions have their own security and privacy practices. A lost key, malicious signature, incorrect address, or compromised device may lead to irreversible asset loss.

Security reference: Ethereum wallet security and scam prevention.

NFTs & artwork rights

Owning an NFT establishes control of a token under its smart contract. It does not, by itself, transfer copyright, trademarks, commercial rights, or ownership of every associated file.

Any rights to display, reproduce, modify, distribute, or commercially use collection artwork must come from that collection's written license or the rights holder's permission. This draft does not grant a new commercial license or modify an existing one.

Gallery downloads, wallpapers, and banners remain subject to those rights. A download button, wallet balance, or membership benefit is not permission to remove attribution, impersonate the creator, or sell unauthorized reproductions. Third-party logos, photographs, tweets, and artwork retain their respective rights.

License duration, transferability, termination, and rights after an NFT sale must be stated in the final collection license. Until that license is confirmed, do not assume rights beyond those already lawfully granted.

Rights reference: NFT ownership and usage-right distinctions.

Token-bound wallets

A token-bound account (TBA) is a smart-contract account associated with a specific NFT, chain, registry, and account implementation. It is separate from the holder's personal wallet.

Selecting multiple NFTs combines their balances and asset counts for viewing only. It does not merge accounts, move funds, or change ownership. Missing balance or indexer data is not a confirmed zero balance.

Transfers require the correct account controller and chain. Staking, transfer, or sale of the controlling NFT can affect who can operate its TBA; inspect the actual implementation and contents before selling or transferring. Never assume TBA assets remain accessible after disposing of the NFT.

An undeployed account, an unsupported token, a contract limitation, or an unavailable RPC may prevent a transfer. Verify deposits and submitted transfers on the chain explorer.

Transactions & fees

Before authorizing a payment, verify the item or token, network, currency, amount, recipient or escrow address, approvals, and any applicable fees. Gas charges are separate from purchase prices and may apply even if a transaction fails.

A submitted transaction hash is not proof of confirmation, fulfillment, or successful settlement. Blockchain finality and application verification determine whether a payment is credited. Do not send funds manually to an address that has not been published for that purpose.

On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by this website. This does not remove mandatory consumer rights or any refund obligation that applies to the operator. Refund and cancellation procedures must be disclosed for each paid offering before launch.

Prices and ETH/USD displays are informational, may be delayed, and are not investment, tax, or financial advice. You are responsible for understanding tax obligations applicable to your activity.

Shop & fulfillment

A product listing is not confirmation that inventory, shipping, or returns are available. The bag and order review are preparation steps, not accepted orders. Product availability, sizing, authenticity, prices, delivery fees, and taxes require merchant confirmation before payment. Crypto, QRIS, and bank transfer remain unavailable until the relevant payment service and merchant details are configured.

Before accepting an order, the seller must identify itself and provide the total price, delivery regions, shipping charges, estimated delivery, applicable taxes or customs duties, and cancellation, return, and defective-item procedures.

Digital goods also require delivery and license terms. This draft does not invent delivery deadlines or waive statutory return, warranty, or refund rights. Purchases completed on an external marketplace follow that seller's applicable terms.

Games & rewards

Game tickets, raffle tickets, task points, bananas, and auction bids are different balances or actions. They are not interchangeable unless a published rule expressly allows it. A ticket purchase must be verified before it is credited.

Rewards depend on the published prize pool, odds, available inventory, and server-side result. Idle animations and the visual arrangement of cards do not promise a particular outcome. No win, return, or prize value is guaranteed.

In-app points and bananas are not represented as cash, deposits, or guaranteed redeemable assets. Any external token or NFT reward requires a configured claim mechanism and successful settlement. A pending or submitted claim is not a completed payout.

Paid chance-based play must not launch until its legality, eligibility controls, responsible-participation requirements, funding, and refund rules have been reviewed for the intended markets. Do not spend money you cannot afford to lose.

Raffles

Each real raffle must publish its organizer, prize, eligibility, start and closing times, timezone, ticket price, entry limits, capacity, selection method, announcement process, claim deadline, and any shipping or tax obligations.

It must also publish cancellation, undersubscription, refund, unclaimed-prize, and alternate-winner rules. A funded prize and a verifiable draw are required before accepting paid entries. Holder verification does not replace applicable legal review.

Current raffle listings are previews. Their participants, ticket counts, winning ticket numbers, and countdowns are illustrations. No ticket payment or real prize claim is enabled by those entries.

Bids & auctions

Each real auction must identify the seller, exact NFT contract and token IDs or bundle contents, chain, currency, reserve if any, minimum increment, start and closing times, escrow, settlement process, and all platform or creator fees.

Binding-bid conditions, outbid-fund withdrawal, cancellation, failed settlement, refunds, and any extensions must be disclosed before bidding opens. A preview amount entered in a form is not a submitted or accepted bid.

Current auction previews do not escrow assets, accept payment, establish a winning bidder, or complete a sale. Community artwork cannot be publicly auctioned until its final version, minting authority, rights, and proceeds allocation are agreed and published.

Community artwork

The holder canvas currently allocates 10 publishable pixels per eligible NFT per board. Allowance belongs to the token, not a succession of owners: transferring the NFT does not reset a used allocation.

Local drafts and PNG exports are separate from published contributions. Publishing requires successful ownership verification and remaining allowance. Published cells cannot currently be overwritten through the holder editor.

Contribute only material you are entitled to submit. Contributions must not infringe rights or contain unlawful, abusive, or identifying personal content. The team may restrict access or moderate website display to protect the community.

Contributing pixels does not automatically create joint copyright ownership, a royalty entitlement, or a right to proceeds. A separate contributor agreement must settle publication and minting rights, attribution, board freezing, moderation, and revenue sharing before a collective NFT is minted or sold.

Tasks & holder access

Task rewards require valid proof, manual approval, and a successful claim. Clicking a task link does not complete it. Each approved task can be claimed once per authenticated wallet under the current rules.

Do not submit fabricated proof, reuse someone else's content, impersonate an account, automate fraudulent claims, or abuse multiple wallets to evade event limits. A rejected submission may be corrected where resubmission is available.

Holder access is conditional on current eligibility and service availability; it is not a promise of perpetual benefits. Discord verification and roles remain unavailable until their integration is configured. Connecting Discord must be a separate authorized action with its permissions disclosed.

Acceptable use

• Do not steal assets, exploit vulnerabilities, bypass access controls, manipulate bids or draws, or interfere with other users.
• Do not submit malware, phishing links, illegal content, harassment, deceptive promotions, or unauthorized personal data.
• Do not misuse creator names, collection trademarks, user profiles, or website material to imply an endorsement.
• Do not overload the service or scrape data in a way that harms availability or privacy.

Access to website features may be restricted while abuse or security incidents are investigated. Restricting website access does not authorize confiscation of assets in your independently controlled wallet. Mandatory legal rights remain unaffected.

Privacy & storage

The application uses wallet addresses, sign-in nonces and sessions, verified transaction references, game entries and balances, task proof URLs and review records, and published pixel contributions to operate its features. Public profiles, proof links, and blockchain activity may reveal information you choose to make public.

Sign-in cookie

ba_session is an HTTP-only, same-site session cookie with a seven-day maximum age. Sign-in nonces expire after ten minutes.

Browser preferences

Local storage remembers the selected theme, wallet provider, and shopping bag (product, variant, and quantity). Draft checkout contact and delivery details are kept in page memory, not submitted to a merchant or saved in local storage. Clearing browser data removes local preferences; disconnecting alone does not delete server records or revoke on-chain approvals.

Service records

Balances, purchases, rounds, claims, task reviews, and published contributions are stored server-side. Blockchain records remain public and cannot be erased by removing a website record.

RPC providers, indexers, image gateways, embedded X posts, Google Fonts, and wallet services may receive requests and associated technical information such as an IP address. Their own privacy practices apply. This draft does not make an unverified promise that those providers perform no tracking.

Before production launch, the operator must publish its identity and privacy contact, purposes and applicable legal bases, retention periods, recipients and international-transfer arrangements, and procedures for access, correction, deletion, complaints, and other applicable rights. A complete production privacy notice and any required consent controls are still pending.

Transparency reference: ICO privacy-notice guidance. This reference does not select UK law as the governing law.

Third-party services

External marketplaces, social platforms, Discord, wallets, chains, RPCs, indexers, and gateways operate independently. Their availability, prices, media, metadata, privacy practices, and terms can change.

Links, artwork credits, embedded posts, and collection references are not guarantees or endorsements of every statement made by a third party. Verify original sources and destination domains. This site is not represented as an official OpenSea or Robinhood service.

Risk & responsibility

NFT and token prices can fall to zero. Smart contracts can contain defects; networks, gateways, and websites can become unavailable; metadata or media may become inaccessible. There is no assurance of liquidity, resale demand, continuous access, or future benefits.

The operator should take reasonable care in operating its service, but an informational display is not a warranty of an external asset's value or of a third party's performance. No part of this draft excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable consumer protections.

Do not treat the website as investment, legal, or tax advice. Obtain independent advice when an activity or potential loss warrants it. No arbitrary liability cap, compulsory arbitration provision, or class-action waiver is imposed by this draft.

Changes & disputes

Final terms should display their version, effective date, operator, and a clear method of notifying users of material changes. Changes must not retroactively remove accrued rights or override mandatory law.

The final governing-law and dispute-resolution provisions require confirmation of the operator's jurisdiction and the markets served. This draft does not invent a court, arbitration venue, or applicable legal entity.

For a transaction issue, preserve the chain ID, contract or recipient address, token or event ID, transaction hash, timestamp, and the relevant published rules. Never send a seed phrase or private key as support evidence.
