Auction and Sales Rules
Access to Auctions and Sales: You can participate in Auctions and Sales by going to our website and connecting your MetaMask wallet (https://metamask.io/) which requires you to sign the connection transaction.
Bids (i.e., offers to purchase NFTs) can only be made during the Auction Window of an Auction, or period in which a Sale is offered, if you hold sILV2 or ETH at your Ethereum public address.
Bidding: When submitting your Bid, you will be prompted to sign to authorise the Bid but the sILV2 or ETH will remain at your Ethereum public address, no Gas Fee will be incurred and a data record of your Bid amount denominated in sILV2 or ETH as well as your IP address and Ethereum public address will be stored in a secure database controlled by Illuvium.
In Auctions: Participants can only submit one Bid per English Auction at a time. Participants that have already submitted a Bid in an English Auction may submit a higher Bid in that Auction which will cancel the existing Bid. Participants that do not maintain a sufficient sILV2 or ETH balance at their Ethereum public address for the duration of the Auction may have their Bid cancelled during the Auction.
In Sales and Auctions: Participants can submit Bids in multiple Sales and Auctions across the Illuvium website up to the Participant’s sILV2 or ETH balance at their Ethereum public address.
Reserved Auction Rights: Illuvium reserves all rights to end an Auction before the Closing Time or to extend an Auction if the Reserve Price has not been met.
Failed transaction: If you made the Successful Bid but did not maintain a sufficient sILV2 or ETH balance at the time the Illuvium smart contract called for the sILV2 or ETH balance to trigger the payment of sILV2 or WETH you forfeit the right to purchase the NFT. If you had a sufficient sILV2 or ETH balance and the transaction fails due to network error or other circumstances outside of your control please send an email to support@illuvium.io for support within 24 hours of the Closing Time of the Auction.
Paying the Auction Price or Sale Price: If your Bid is successful to purchase an NFT in a Sale or at the Closing Time of an Auction, and subject to completion of any processes that are applicable to the particular Sale or Auction, or NFT, your sILV2 or ETH will automatically be transferred to the Illuvium DAO Vault (or other nominated address that the prevailing model of Illuvium DAO governance specifies) to pay the Auction Price or Sale Price (as the case may be) and the NFT will be transferred to your Immutable X public address. You may need to take additional steps to add the NFT smart contract to your Immutable X wallet to display the NFT in your Immutable X wallet.
Purchase of NFT: Once the Participant with the Successful Bid pays the Auction Price to Illuvium, or a Participant pays the Sale Price for an NFT, that Participant becomes the NFT Buyer. The purchase occurs when the Buyer authorises or signs a transaction to confirm payment sufficient to cover the Sale Price and applicable Gas Fees.
Failure to pay Auction Price within a reasonable time: Except for the IP address of the device used by a Participant to submit a Bid, a Participant’s Ethereum public address and the Bid amount, no information is collected by Illuvium to be able to identify each Participant or the Participant with a Successful Bid, or a Participant that pays the Sale Price for an NFT. Accordingly, if the Participant with a Successful Bid does not hold sufficient sILV2 or ETH to pay the Auction Price after the Auction and the transaction but you do not send an email to support@illuvium.io for support within the time stipulated, Illuvium reserves all rights to re-list the NFT for Auction or Sale on the Illuvium website and determine other action appropriate such as blocking of access of the Participant for future Auctions or Sales.
Use of third-party software: All Bids made through the Illuvium website are facilitated and run through MetaMask which is a third-party electronic wallet extension (Third-party Extension), and all NFTs are minted using the Immutable X platform (Third-party Platform).

ANNEXURE 2 - ILV & Staking Terms
ILV: Illuvium, (ticker: ILV) is the governance and utility token for the Illuvium DAO, which is an ERC-20 standard fungible token minted on the Ethereum blockchain.
sILV2: Is a rewards token available to Stakers of ILV.
Details about ILV and sILV2 is available in the Illuvium Whitepaper published here.
Annexure 3 - Information About Risks
General: All transactions involving tokens carry risk. Risks can be managed but in many cases risks cannot be eliminated. The appropriate level of risk for you may depend on the your age, financial objectives and needs and how your tokens are invested. It also may vary depending on how comfortable you are with the possibility of the reduction of value of or capacity to use assets or tokens you acquire.
Risk of decline in value of tokens: The value of Illuvium Tokens (including sILV2, ILV, Illuvium NFTs and Fuel) may fluctuate over time and Illuvium cannot guarantee the value of these tokens at any time. In decentralised technology, there is no proven economic model that values any or all the smart contracts, the auditing of those smart contracts and the network effects of interactions with smart contracts. There is also no clear model demonstrating the impact of externalities (such as unrelated third-party influencers).
Market integrity risk: Illuvium Tokens will be freely traded Illuvium Tokens and accordingly their price outside of the game will be influenced by external market forces. Their value will fluctuate and may fluctuate extremely. Their value may reduce to zero. As Illuvium is newly established, there is limited or no history upon which you can evaluate the likely value of these tokens. As tokens are subject to only limited regulation, there is a risk that markets for tokens are inefficient and / or subject to manipulation. This means that you may not be protected if the Illuvium ecosystem fails or is hacked.
Financial risk: There are a number of financial risks, including the Illuvium DAO’s ability to maintain a strong enough treasury to continue operations. There is a risk that the Illuvium DAO is not sufficiently responsive to changes in the industry and/or trading conditions.
Operational risk: Operational risk includes but is not limited to, technology risk (including smart contract technology which is nascent and on a public blockchain), reputational risk, fraud, compliance, outsourcing, business continuity planning, legal risk and key person risk.
Technology risk:Transactions carry the risks of Third-party Extension and a Third-party Platform to access our Services as discussed above in the section entitled Auction and Sale Rules. There is also a risk that any Illuvium Tokens you acquire in the Illuvium ecosystem could be stolen or exploited by a smart contract vulnerability. The level of this risk will vary based on how you hold and use your Illuvium Tokens and your security practices including in relation to your digital wallets. You should also be wary of scams designed to convince you to sell or lend your Illuvium Tokens and should only engage with Illuvium in accordance with these Terms.
Custody risk: Illuvium Tokens are tokens that are generally stored in a self-hosted digital wallet or hardware wallet. Illuvium Tokens such as ILV and NFTs rely on cryptography and technology such as blockchain for security and other features. A wallet generally has a private key (unique code) that is used to authorise outgoing token transactions on the blockchain ledger, authorised by the applicable blockchain network according to the prevailing consensus mechanism. A hardware wallet stores these private keys on a secure hardware device not connected to the internet. This can protect your wallet from hackers who can potentially steal the contents of your internet-connected digital wallet. Your digital wallet will have a public key and a private key (like a password or PIN). However, blockchain systems allow users to remain relatively anonymous (pseudonymous) and there is no central authority that collects identity information or that can recover lost or stolen tokens or private keys. If a hacker steals your private key, you have little hope of getting the private key back in order to deal with the tokens you held. Using a wallet that’s held offline, called a ‘hardware wallet’ or ‘cold storage’, may provide additional protection. You are responsible for seeking independent, professional advice in relation to the cyber security of your blockchain and token activities.
Governance risk: Under Illuvium’s decentralised and evolving governance structure, members of the Illuvium Council may pass a vote to modify how the DAO, including Sales and Auctions, operates. You are responsible for monitoring Illuvium’s official social channels and staying updated on changes affecting the Illuvium.
Regulatory risk: The legal and tax characterisation of DAO structures and of digital assets is uncertain in most jurisdictions and regulatory efforts are evolving. It is your responsibility to ensure that your access and use of our Services is lawful. All Illuvium Tokens are not financial products and accordingly the Illuvium DAO, nor its service entities are licensed by ASIC, the SEC, CFTC or any other financial services regulator. You will not have access to the consumer protections available to customers acquiring a financial product under the financial services laws of any country. If the Illuvium DAO or its service entities or contributors or the Illuvium Tokens fail, your Illuvium Tokens will likely be of no value and there is no complaints scheme or ombudsman that can protect you from losses.
Tax Treatment & policy environment: The tax treatment of token activities is subject to uncertainty. Tax authorities around the world are seeking to understand the technology, issue guidance to the public and consult on relevant tax reform that is necessary. The application of traditional tax principles to novel technology, the DAO structure and token activities remain largely untested in court. The value and tax treatment of your Illuvium Tokens may be impacted by this uncertainty and risk in how the tax laws apply and may change.
Immutability risk: Transactions executed on Ethereum are irreversible by design. Errors, false inputs, or other errors are the sole responsibility of each individual customer of Illuvium. No other customers of Illuvium or members of the Illuvium DAO have any obligation whatsoever to reverse or assist to reverse any erroneous transactions.
Merge and fork risk: In the event of a network merge or fork, there is a risk any transactions with Illuvium may not be completed, completely partially, incorrectly completed, or substantially delayed. The Illuvium DAO, its contributors and service companies are not responsible for any losses suffered in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by a merge or fork of the Ethereum blockchain.
Smart contract risk: While the Illuvium DAO has taken steps to ensure the Illuvium Protocol is safe and secure, there may be vulnerabilities in the suite of smart contracts that collectively form the Illuvium Protocol. You may experience damage, interruptions or loss caused by the exploitation of smart contract vulnerabilities in the form of hacks, mining attacks, cyber-attacks, distributed denial of service attacks, or other security breaches, attacks, or deficiencies.
Phishing risk: Scammers may create phishing websites which pretend to be Illuvium. You are responsible for carefully checking that you are accessing the correct domain and application.
