What is Neopets Metaverse Collection?

Neopets Metaverse Collection is a collection of 10,500 unique Collectibles that exist on the Solana blockchain. Each Collectible represents a unique Image of a Neopet, and you as the owner of an Collectible may have exclusive access to the Project Purpose which may be developed by the Seller.

For the avoidance of doubt, the development and your access to and use of the Project Purpose is at the sole discretion of the Seller.

How do I get an Collectible and what are the timelines?

You can get an Collectible through a two-stage process:

  • Stage 1 – Buy a NMC Box from the Seller’s Website https://www.neopetsmetacollection.com). The NMC Box will be available on 12 November 2021 at 09:00 UTC, until:
    • 15 November 2021 at 09:00 UTC;
    • the time the Maximum NMC Box Supply is reached; or
    • at a date and time specified as NMC Box Closing by the Seller at its discretion.
  • Stage 2 – Redeem an Collectible with your NMC Box at the Seller’s Website (https://www.neopetsmetacollection.com). Redemption will be available immediately after the Maximum NMC Box Supply is reached or on 15 November 2021 at 09:00 UTC, whichever comes first, until:
    • 18 November 2021 at 10:00 UTC;
    • the time the Maximum Collectible Supply is reached; or
    • at a date and time specified as Collectible Closing by the Seller at its discretion.

Key details of this process are set out in Sections C and D of these Specific Terms and Conditions, in particular Section C clause 8 (“NMC Box Launch and NMC Box Closing”) and Section D clause 21 (“Collectible Launch and Collectible Closing”).

How much does it cost to buy a Neopets Metaverse Collection?

NMC Box: The cost of a NMC Box is determined by the Pricing Schedule detailed in Section C clause 5 (“Pricing Schedule”).

Collectible: Collectible = 1 NMC Box.

You may also incur Gas or third-party transaction fees for obtaining a NMC Box and/or Collectible.

Is there an unlimited supply of NMC Boxes and Collectibles?

No.

There will be a maximum supply of:

  • 10,000 NMC Boxes; and
  • 10,500 Collectibles, and only 10,000 will be redeemable with NMC Boxes.

The Seller reserves 500 Collectibles for giveaways, competitions, future ecosystem rewards or other purposes determined by the Seller, for distribution and/or use before or after the Collectible Closing at the Seller’s discretion.

Can I return my NMC Box or Collectible?

No, once purchased, you are not entitled to and will not have right to seek a refund from the Seller and/or its Associates for the purchased NMC Box or Collectible (even if you do not redeem the Collectible prior to the Collectible Closing).

    E. Risk disclosure

    Participating in the Collection Sale, holding Tokens and using the Project Purpose (if and when developed) involve risks, some of which are set out below.

    These risks, and additional risks arising either now or in the future, could result in the failure of the Collection Sale, the destruction of Tokens or the utility of Tokens, and/or the termination of the development of the Project Purpose.

    You may lose your entire Payment or Tokens (or their functionality).

    You must consider carefully whether the risks set out below, as well as all other applicable risks, are acceptable to you prior to purchasing any Tokens.

    You must seek professional advice (legal, taxation, financial, technical or otherwise) regarding your particular situation before participating in the Collection Sale, holding the Tokens or using the Project Purpose.

    1. Developmental nature of the Tokens and the Project PurposeTokens and the Project Purpose may undergo significant changes before they are released. Various features of Tokens and the Project Purpose , including (but not limited to) its terms and conditions, fees, structure, purpose, consensus protocol, algorithm, source codes, infrastructure design and other technical specifications and parameters, may be updated and changed frequently without notice.Further, Tokens and the Project Purpose may encounter difficulties during development, including financial, resourcing and technical difficulties. These difficulties are unpredictable and may be unresolvable.Development of Tokens and the Project Purpose may therefore fail, terminate or be delayed at any time for any reason. Further, Tokens and the Project Purpose as a whole may never be realised. Such failure, termination or delay is likely to reduce and may completely obliterate any utility that Tokens may hold.
    2. Development team riskThe development team currently consists of a limited number of individuals. Changes to the team may therefore adversely impact on the creation and establishment of Tokens and the Project Purpose.The Seller may face substantial financial and operating risks and may experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financing, and general management, among others, which frequently cannot be solved. In additional, the Seller may require substantial amounts of financing, which may not be available through institutional private placements, the public markets or otherwise.
    3. Incomplete information regarding Tokens and the Project PurposeYou may not have full access to all the information relevant to the Seller, the Tokens and/or the Project Purpose. The Seller is not required to update you on the progress of the Tokens and the Project Purpose. It is possible that you may not be aware on a timely basis of material adverse changes that have occurred with respect to certain of its investments.
    4. Lack of operating history of the SellerThere may be no operating history or track record that could be used (on its own) to evaluate the Seller’s ability to deliver Tokens and the Project Purpose.
    5. Lack of operating history of Tokens and the Project PurposeTokens and the Project Purpose are in a development stage and there is no operating history or track record that could be used (on its own) to evaluate their stability, efficiency or resilience.
    6. No governance rights attaching to TokensTokens confers no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Project Purpose or the Seller. Accordingly, subject to other written arrangements to the contrary, all decisions involving Tokens and the Project Purpose will be made by the Seller, including decisions to discontinue the Collection Sale and Project Purpose . These decisions could adversely affect the Project Purpose and the utility of any Tokens that you hold.
    7. No assets or property underlying TokensTokens confer no ownership interest in any assets or property. Nothing underpins the value of Tokens other than the prospect of accessing the Project Purpose.
    8. Potential for misuse of the Tokens and the Project PurposeTokens and the Project Purpose may be banned, restricted or deemed immoral in certain jurisdictions. Further, Tokens and the Project Purpose may potentially be used for activities that are illegal in certain jurisdictions. As a result, governmental authorities or regulators may take action against Tokens and the Project Purpose . This may deter users from using Tokens and the Project Purpose or may involve the complete shutdown or cessation of the Project Purpose.
    9. Reliance on third-party contractorsDevelopment of Tokens and the Project Purpose, and the operation of the Collection Sale, will require third-party contractors with particular expertise in Solana and blockchain technology. The availability of such contractors is limited. They may be appointed on a formal or informal basis. If appointed under a service agreement, that service agreement may not be fit for purpose, and may fail to adequately protect the Seller against the loss caused by or arising in respect of the contractor. There may not be sufficient (or any) such contractors available on terms deemed acceptable by the Seller. The costs associated with any such contractors may be significantly greater than currently estimated. Further, the quality, reliability and timely delivery of services by such contractors may vary significantly.
    10. Utility of Tokens may depend on the Project PurposeThe utility of Tokens may depend on the success of the Project Purpose, if developed. The Project Purpose may not be popular or widely used after Collectible Launch. In the long term, the Project Purpose may fail to attract a critical mass of users. The Project Purpose may be merged with other projects. Various circumstances, including technical advancement and competitors, may render the Project Purpose obsolete. Such a lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of the Project Purpose and therefore the potential utility and value of Tokens.
    11. Competitor successThe Seller seeks to maintain a competitive advantage over the market. Though, potentially one or more persons could produce, a better, cheaper, more accessible, more versatile, more customer friendly or otherwise more favourable product, relative to Tokens and the Project Purpose. The Seller may make changes to the features and components of Tokens and the Project Purpose to address market demand.If another person produces a better, cheaper, more accessible, more versatile, more customer friendly or otherwise more favourable product, the use of the Project Purpose and the demand for Tokens may decrease. This could have a range of negative implications to the Seller, the Tokens and the Project Purpose.
    12. Speculation may drive demand for TokensTokens are transferrable in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. Accordingly, demand for Tokens may be partially or wholly driven by speculation. Speculation may continue to drive demand for Tokens even after the launch of the Project Purpose.
    13. Further sales and development and sale of additional TokensThe Seller may, from time to time, and without prior notice or consultation, sell additional Tokens outside of the Collection Sale. Further, the Seller may develop and sell additional Tokens, or otherwise raise funding for Tokens and/or the Project Purpose through any other means it deems necessary. You will not necessarily receive notice of the sale of additional Tokens or of any other tokens or fundraising means.
    14. Volatility of TokensThe circulation of Tokens is not the responsibility of the Seller, and the Seller will not support or otherwise facilitate the secondary trading of Tokens. As a result, Tokens may not circulate freely or widely, and may not be listed on any secondary markets.Even if Tokens do circulate on secondary markets, the value of Tokens may be highly volatile. Factors such as perceptions of the Seller, delays in the development of the Project Purpose, fluctuations in comparable projects and Collection Sales, market dynamics, regulatory actions and changes, technical advancements, as well as broader economic and political factors, may cause the value of Tokens to change significantly over a short period of time.In addition, there may be insufficient liquidity to support an active market in Tokens, or the market in Tokens may become susceptible to market manipulation.
    15. Volatility of virtual assetsPayments are made in Eligible Virtual Assets. The Seller may hold the Proceeds in Eligible Virtual Assets or other virtual assets, or a combination of any of them. The value of these assets may fluctuate significantly over a short period of time as a result of market dynamics, regulatory actions and changes, technical advancements, exchange availability and broader economic and political factors. This volatility is likely to impact the funding that is available for developing the Project Purpose and may affect the utility of Tokens.
    16. Concentration of Token ownershipAt any point in time, one or more persons may directly or indirectly control significant portions of the total supply of Tokens. Acting individually or in concert, these holders may have significant influence over Tokens and the Project Purpose. They may make decisions that are not in your best interest as a holder of Tokens.
    17. Legal status of the Tokens, Collection Sale and the Project Purpose may be variableThe Seller is seeking legal advice on a number of matters relating to Tokens, the Collection Sale and the Project Purpose. Pending such advice, and the Seller’s decisions in relation to it, some or all aspects of the Terms and Conditions may need to be varied in accordance with clause 13 of the General Terms and Conditions.Further, the laws of various jurisdictions may apply to Tokens, the Collection Sale and the Project Purpose. The application of these laws and regulations to Tokens, the Collection Sale and the Project Purpose is largely untested, and is subject to change without notice. In particular, any current governmental or regulatory tolerance of virtual assets can change rapidly, and Tokens may at any time be deemed to be a security, investment, asset or money by governmental authorities or regulators.On the other hand, new or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, in any jurisdictions, may materially and adversely impact the value at which Tokens may be exchanged, if applicable, the liquidity of Tokens, and the structure, rights and transferability of Tokens. This includes the assignment of, and enforceability of terms against, subsequent purchasers.As a result, it is possible that there could be legal disputes over the interpretation of the rights of Token holders, and the smart contracts used in connection with the Project Purpose, thus undermining the functionality of the Project Purpose and Tokens.At this stage, the Seller expects that Tokens and the Project Purpose may be regulated in a number of key markets. This will require licensing, approvals and authorisations. You must not assume that the Seller will be able to attain any required licensing, approval or authorisation. This means that Tokens and the Project Purpose may not be available at certain markets, or at all. This could require fundamental restructuring of Tokens, the Collection Sale and the Project Purpose.The Seller may receive formal or informal queries, notices, requests or warnings by governmental authorities and regulators. Action may be taken by governmental authorities and regulators against the Seller, Tokens or the Project Purpose. As a result of such events, the Seller may be required to discontinue the Collection Sale and/or the Project Purpose.You may also be subject to governmental or regulatory action by participating in the Collection Sale, holding Tokens and/or using the Project Purpose(if and when developed).
    18. Tax treatment and accountingThe tax treatment and accounting of virtual assets is a largely untested area of law and practice that is subject to prospective and retrospective changes without notice. Tax treatment of virtual assets may vary amongst jurisdictions. Your participation in the Collection Sale or use of the Project Purpose as a result of or in connection with any purchase, grant, delivery, exercise, vesting, distribution, activation, release, holding, use, appreciation, conversion, sale, exchange, redemption, assignment, transfer, disposal, may attract Taxes either now or in the future. The Seller may receive formal or informal queries, notices, requests, or summons from tax authorities and as a result the Seller may be required to furnish certain information about the Collection Sale and/or the Project Purpose. You must seek independent professional advice on the tax implications in relation to the Collection Sale, use of Project Purpose and/or other transactions for your particular situation.
    19. Reliance on the InternetTokens, the Collection Sale and the Project Purpose rely heavily on the Internet. However, the public nature of the Internet means that either parts of the internet or the entire internet may be unreliable or unavailable at any given time. Further, interruption, delay, corruption or loss of data, the loss of confidentiality in the transmission of data, or the transmission of malware may occur when transmitting data via the internet.
    20. Reliance on Internet infrastructureTokens and the Project Purpose relies on the infrastructure and reliability of the Internet infrastructure of the markets in which it operates. There may not be alternative networks or data servers in the event of failures or interruptions with the Internet infrastructure. Any unscheduled service interruption or failure could result in unavailability or limited performance of the distribution of Tokens and/or the Project Purpose.
    21. Reliance on SolanaTokens, the Collection Sale and the Project Purpose rely on Solana. Solana is open source software that is built upon experimental technology, namely blockchain. As an open source project, the Seller will not be represented, maintained or monitored by an official organisation or authority. Risks arising from this reliance include (but are not limited to):
      1. the existence of technical flaws in Solana;
      2. targeting of Solana by malicious persons;
      3. changes in Solana’s consensus protocol or algorithms;
      4. decreased community or staking support for Solana;
      5. rapid fluctuations in the value of SOL;
      6. the existence or development of competing networks and platforms;
      7. the existence or development of Forked versions of Solana;
      8. flaws in the Rust scripting language;
      9. disputes between Solana developers, stakers and/or users; and
      10. regulatory action against Solana developers, stakers and/or users.
    22. Conflicts of interestThere may be potential circumstances where the interests of the Seller may diverge from those of Token holders. The Seller is not obliged to refrain from such decisions in the interests of the Seller. By supporting the Collection Sale, each Purchaser will be deemed to have acknowledged these potential conflicts of interest and to have waived any claim with respect to any liability arising from the existence of any such conflicts of interest.
    23. Unknown risksThere are things that will be discovered in the development process which at this point cannot be predicted. In other words, despite best efforts, The Seller may not yet know all the risks that will be associated with the Project Purpose and Tokens.
    24. Source code changes and flawsThe various source codes used in the Collection Sale and the Project Purpose (if and when developed) are subject to change and may at any time contain one or more defects, weaknesses, inconsistencies, errors or bugs.
    25. No anonymity when using SolanaYour participation in the Collection Sale, holding and transfer of Tokens and/or use of Project Purpose (if and when developed) will not be anonymous. Your address and such participation will be recorded on an un-permissioned blockchain, namely Solana. It is possible to match addresses to identities.
    26. Inadequate computing resourcesThe Collection Sale and the Project Purpose will require intensive computing resources. The demand for these resources may exceed the Seller’s estimates. Ultimately, the Seller’s resources may prove inadequate to support the Collection Sale and/or develop the Project Purpose , which may affect the delivery and/or utility of Tokens.
    27. Loss of private key is permanent and irreversibleYou alone are responsible for securing your private key, whether or not the Seller holds the private keys on behalf of you.Losing control of your private key will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to your Tokens. Neither the Seller nor any other person will be able to retrieve or protect your Tokens. Once lost, you will not be able to transfer your Tokens to any other address or wallet. You will not be able to realise any value or utility that the Token may hold now or in future.
    28. Targeting of Tokens, the Collection Sale, the Project Purpose and the Seller by malicious personsTokens, the Collection Sale, the Project Purpose (if and when developed) and the Seller may be targeted by malicious persons who may attempt to steal Tokens or the Proceeds, or otherwise intervene in the Collection Sale, the Project Purpose or the Seller.This includes (but is not limited to) interventions by way of:
      1. distributed denial of service;
      2. Sybil Attacks;
      3. phishing;
      4. social engineering;
      5. hacking;
      6. smurfing;
      7. malware;
      8. Double Spending;
      9. misinformation campaigns; and
      10. spoofing.
    29. Targeting of data through the platformThe Seller will have access to a large amount of information through the NMC Box Sale and the Collection Sale and Project Purpose, and the improper use or disclosure of such information could harm its reputation and/or the operation of Tokens and the Project Purpose. The Seller may experience security breaches and be subject to attacks, which may compromise the security of the information stored or controlled by the Seller. The Seller may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks. Failure to do so would result in a loss in confidence of the Seller’s business, Tokens and the Project Purpose.
    30. Targeting of Purchaser by malicious personsMalicious entities may target you in an attempt to steal any Tokens, neocollectibles or virtual assets that you may hold, or to claim any Tokens that you may have purchased. This may involve unauthorised access to your Digital Wallet, your private keys, your virtual assets addresses, your Account, your email or social media accounts, as well as unauthorised access to your computer, smartphone and any other devices that you may use.You alone are responsible for protecting yourself against such actions.
    31. Payment using Eligible Virtual AssetsCertain Eligible Virtual Assets may be securities or regulated products in your jurisdiction. You should satisfy yourself that payment using a particular Eligible Virtual Assets is lawful in your jurisdiction.

Greetings, Neopians!

The Neopets Team has taken a close look at every nook and cranny of Neopets, and after doing so, the decision has been made to transition away from the Neopets Metaverse game and redistribute those resources to the development of a game that we feel can better reflect our values and vision.

For those of you who support the Neopets Metaverse project, we appreciate your loyalty and dedication. Thanks to your feedback, we have learned so much through the development process. The lessons we have garnered are invaluable, and we will continue to apply these insights into all our future Neopets endeavours. Since making this decision, we have repurposed some of the best assets from the Neopets Metaverse game while refocusing the core game loop and overall direction.

The Neopets - Genesis Collection, Neopets - Pizzaroo Collection and Neopets - Masterpiece collection are all still available on the open marketplace, and we will continue to support the Web3 community that has embraced ownership of these collections. To learn more, check out our Medium.
