The user must directly pay all transaction fees (e.g. gas fee) required for the purchase of NFTs issued by the Company, and transaction fees are automatically paid to a network of computers running the decentralized Ethereum network. The Company is not responsible for any problems that may arise from the user's failure to pay or the excessive payment of transaction fees.

- ③ The owner of NFTs issued by the Company is only granted the non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use the original works connected to the NFTs apart from the NFTs issued by the Company. NFTs issued by the Company do not indicate the actual intellectual property rights including copyright and trademarks of original works, or other specific rights such as portrait rights, publicity rights, and commercialization rights. Owning NFTs issued by the Company does not grant the user possession or acquisition of any intellectual property rights or other specific rights of the original works connected to the NFTs.

When a user purchases NFTs for the first time on the Company’s website, the action is recorded and managed on the Ethereum network, which renders the withdrawal of the subscription impossible due to its nature.
