Welcome to the Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC (“Cheebiez”) website, which include but are not limited to cheebiez.com, (the “Sites”). The Sites are provided as a service to our customers. You must be age 18 or older or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater, to use the Sites.
The following terms and conditions govern your use of the Sites (the “Agreement”).
PLEASE READ THE TERMS BELOW CAREFULLY AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. THE AGREEMENT INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND REQUIRES BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. YOUR USE OF THE SITES CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO FOLLOW AND BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO UPDATE OR MODIFY THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. FOR THIS REASON, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW THE AGREEMENT WHENEVER YOU USE ANY OF THE SITES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITES.
Certain provisions of this Agreement may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices, rules or other terms located on different pages of the Sites. In order to participate in or use certain services you may be required to agree to additional or different terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”).
Sales hosted on third party sites (“Third Party Sites”) are governed by and subject to the Third Party Sites' Additional Terms and any other Additional Terms applicable to that specific sale. We have no control over, and do not necessarily endorse any Third Party Sites, services, or products. You acknowledge and agree that such Third Party Sites are accessed at your own risk and such risk includes, without limitation, any resulting tax reporting, compliance or payment obligations.
Through the Sites, you may be permitted to purchase or place a bid on and subsequently pay for certain non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) where proof of such purchase is recorded on the relevant blockchain.
Purchasing an NFT entitles you to the ownership of that certain NFT. Except as set forth below, you may use or resell that NFT as you choose, provided that any purchase of a resold NFT (the “Secondary Sale”) will also be subject to this Agreement and any applicable Additional Terms. Immediately following any Secondary Sale, your ownership of the NFT and rights under any associated licenses will terminate. Your purchase of, and the transfer of ownership of, that certain NFT is subject to your agreeing to this Agreement, any Additional Terms and any other applicable terms, including, but not limited to, the terms applicable to any other NFT marketplace that permits the Secondary Sale of NFTs in a manner that fully enables the smart contract contained within such NFTs (either such marketplace, the “Approved Marketplace”). If at any time you sell, trade, donate, give away, or transfer your NFT to a new owner through the Approved Marketplace, the associated license shall be transferred to that new owner, and you will have no further rights in or to the NFT or NFT IP (defined below). If at any time you burn or otherwise dispose of your NFT for any reason, or sell, trade, donate, give away, or transfer your NFT other than through the Approved Marketplace, the license will immediately expire with respect to that NFT without the requirement of notice or any further action, and you will have no further rights in or to the NFT or NFT IP.
You acknowledge and agree that Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC (or, as applicable, our licensors) owns all legal right, title and interest in and to all other elements of the Sites, and all intellectual property rights therein (including, without limitation, all art, designs, systems, methods, information, computer code, software, services, “look and feel”, organization, compilation of the content, code, data, and all other elements of the Sites (collectively, the “Site Materials”)). You acknowledge that the Site Materials are protected by copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and applicable laws. All Site Materials are the copyrighted property of Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC or our licensors, and all trademarks, service marks, and trade names associated with the Sites or otherwise contained in the Site Materials are proprietary to Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC or our licensors.
Except as expressly set forth herein, your use of the Sites does not grant you ownership of or any other rights with respect to any content, code, data, or other Site Materials that you may access on or through the Sites. Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC reserves all rights in and to the Site Materials that are not expressly granted to you in this Agreement.
For the sake of clarity, you understand and agree:
(a) that your purchase of a NFT, whether via the Sites or otherwise, does not give you any rights or licenses in or to the Site Materials (including, without limitation, any copyright in and to the associated art) other than those expressly contained in this Agreement;
(b) that you do not have the right, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, to reproduce, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any elements of the Site Materials (including, without limitation, any art) without Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC's prior written consent in each case, which consent may be withheld in Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC's sole and absolute discretion; and
(c) that you will not apply for, register, or otherwise use or attempt to use any of our trademarks or service marks, or any confusingly similar marks, anywhere in the world without Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC's prior written consent in each case, which consent may be withheld in Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC's sole and absolute discretion.
Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with this Agreement, applicable Additional Terms, and any other applicable terms, Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC grants you, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in connection with a Secondary Sale), non-sublicensable, revocable license to publicly or privately display (including on social media platforms and digital galleries) any intellectual property (or related intellectual property rights including patent rights, patent applications and disclosures, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how or any other intellectual property rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction in the world) included in the NFT owned by you (such intellectual property, including any name, image, likeness, art, design, and drawings (in any form or media, including, without limitation, video or photographs) that may be included in such NFT, “NFT IP”) solely
(a) for your own personal, non-commercial use;
(b) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your NFTs, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies your right to display the NFT IP to ensure that only the actual owner of such NFT can display such NFT IP; or
(c) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your NFT, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each NFT owner's rights to display the NFT IP for their NFT to ensure that only the actual owner of such NFT can display the NFT IP, and provided that the NFT IP is no longer visible once the owner of the NFT leaves the website/application.
For clarity, except for the foregoing license, neither your purchase of the NFT nor this Agreement grants you any other license or rights to any NFT IP and you agree that all rights, titles and interests in and to the NFT IP belong exclusively to Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC (or, as applicable, its subsidiaries and/or licensors) and no rights are granted to you other than the foregoing license.
Subject to your continued compliance with these this Agreement, Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC grants you a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, copy, and display the NFT IP for your NFT for the purpose of commercializing your own merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the NFT IP for your NFT (“Commercial Use”), provided that such Commercial Use does not result in you earning more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in gross revenue each year. For the sake of clarity, nothing in this Section will be deemed to restrict you from
(i) owning or operating a marketplace that permits the use and sale of NFTs generally, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each NFT owner's rights to display the NFT IP for their NFT to ensure that only the actual owner can display the NFT IP;
(ii) owning or operating a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of NFTs generally, provided that the third party website or application cryptographically verifies each NFT owner's rights to display the NFT IP for their purchased NFT to ensure that only the actual owner can display the NFT IP, and provided that the NFT IP is no longer visible once the owner of the purchased NFT leaves the website/application; or
(iii) earning revenue from any of the foregoing, even where such revenue is in excess of $100,000 per year.
The Commercial Use license granted above applies only to the extent that you continue to own the applicable purchased NFT. If at any time you sell, trade, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your purchased NFT for any reason, the Commercial Use license granted above will immediately expire with respect to that NFT without the requirement of notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the NFT IP for that NFT. If you exceed the $100,000 limitation on annual gross revenue set forth above, you will be in breach of this Agreement, and must send an email to Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC at Email: jisuchoeart@gmail.com within forty-five (45) days, with the phrase “Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC License - Commercial Use” in the subject line, requesting a discussion with Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC regarding entering into a broader license agreement or obtaining an exemption (which may be granted or withheld in Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC's sole and absolute discretion). If you exceed the scope of the Commercial Use license grant without entering into a broader license agreement with or obtaining an exemption from Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC, you acknowledge and agree that:
(i) you are in breach of this Agreement;
(ii) in addition to any remedies that may be available to Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC at law or in equity, Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC may immediately terminate any license that was granted to you, without the requirement of notice; and
(iii) you will be responsible to reimburse Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC for any costs and expenses incurred by Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC during the course of enforcing this Agreement against you.
To the extent that NFT IP associated with your NFT contains Third Party NFT IP (e.g., licensed intellectual property from a celebrity, athlete, or other public figure), you understand and agree as follows:
(i) that you will not have the right to use such Third Party NFT IP in any way except as incorporated in the NFT IP, and subject to the license and restrictions contained herein;
(ii) that the Commercial Use license above will not apply;
(iii) that, depending on the nature of the license granted from the owner of the Third Party NFT IP, Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC may need to pass through additional restrictions on your ability to use the NFT IP; and
(iv) to the extent that Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC informs you of such additional restrictions in writing (email is permissible), you will be responsible for complying with all such restrictions from the date that you receive the notice, and that failure to do so will be deemed a breach of such license. The restrictions in this Section will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Except and solely to the extent such a restriction is impermissible under applicable law, you may not:
If you elect to purchase or trade NFTS on the Sites, or with or from other users via the Sites, any financial transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the Ethereum network. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. With that in mind, we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the Sites, or using any smart contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the Ethereum network.
Transactions on the Ethereum network require the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized Ethereum network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the Sites.
No refunds or returns are permitted except with respect to any statutory warranties or guaranties that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same payment method, and/or orders that use the same billing address. In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed in bad faith.
We reserve the right to limit, change, cancel, or relist any auctions, without prior notice, even after bids have been submitted.
NFTs that are listed for sale through auction may be purchased using Ethereum.
Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC is an intermediary and not an agent or fiduciary for any purpose. NFTs are intangible digital assets and exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the Ethereum blockchain network. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the digital asset market, it is not possible to know all of the risks involved in making an investment in digital assets, and new risks may emerge at any time. The following are some, but not all, of the risks associated with services offered on the Sites:

Notice shall be sent to Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC at jisuchoeart@gmail.com, or:
Both you and Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.
Arbitration Agreement.
To the extent you cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, a Dispute must be resolved through binding individual arbitration. You and Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement and with respect to any Dispute. You and Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
You may begin an arbitration proceeding by sending an email requesting arbitration to:
Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC
Email: jisuchoeart@gmail.com
You agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules. Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 if the arbitrator rules in your favor on any material aspect of your claim. Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC waives its right to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration. However, if your claim is deemed by the arbitrator to be frivolous or brought in bad faith or with an improper purpose, as measured by the standards of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, then the arbitrator may award Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC the reimbursement of its costs and arbitration fees against you and/or your counsel. The place of arbitration will be Los Angeles, California. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions. You further agree that if your arbitration claim is filed at or around the time of other similar claims by the same or related counsel, you agree that your claim may be temporarily stayed or phased to allow the AAA to establish efficient and fair adjudication procedures. The language of the arbitration will be English. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC may seek and obtain injunctive relief in any jurisdiction in any court of competent jurisdiction, and you agree that this Agreement is specifically enforceable by Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC through injunctive relief and other equitable remedies without proof of monetary damages.
Waiver of Right to Bring Class Actions and Representative Claims.All arbitrations must proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court. However, to the extent permissible by applicable law, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC’s respective individual capacities and in so doing you and Jacqueline Choe Art, LLC hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If it is decided that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must proceed in court and be severed from any arbitration.
Other Terms. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of the Arbitration Agreement provisions shall survive after this Agreement terminates or your use of the Sites ends. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.
