Membership Terms and Conditions

****************

This document contains very important information about Fnatic’s Memberships. Please read the whole document carefully.

You should note in particular that:

Each Member must set up a wallet to acquire a Membership. Each Membership is a type of digital blockchain collectible known as a Non-Fungible Token - a form of ‘cryptoasset’. Memberships are made available by Fnatic as a way to engage with our fans. However, should You consider trading Your Membership (or any other type of cryptoasset You may acquire from Fnatic through your Membership) on a secondary marketplace, it is important that You carefully consider and accept the following risks:

the value of a cryptoasset may go down as well as up;
capital gains tax may be payable on the proceeds of sale of a cryptoasset;
for UK residents: Cryptoassets are not regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority or protected by financial compensation schemes;
Cryptoassets do not carry rights like normal financial instruments or security tokens;
Fnatic makes no representation or guarantee about the value or earning potential of a Membership or any other cryptoasset You may acquire from Fnatic through your Membership, either now or in the future (e.g. if sold on a marketplace); and
Fnatic excludes any liability or responsibility to You for any losses You may incur in respect of any sale or purchase by You of a Membership, or any other cryptoasset You may acquire from Fnatic through your Membership, on a secondary marketplace.

Fnatic will receive a five (5)% royalty on any sale of a Core or Pioneer Membership.
