# Order Book

This article details what an order book is.

### What is an Order Book?&#x20;

An Orderbook is an trading protocol, used primarily in the stock exchange but has recently been an emerging presence in the crypto space. A *matching engine* uses this to determine which orders can be fully or partially executed.&#x20;

#### Buy and Sell&#x20;

The two main participants in an order book are the 'buyer' and the 'seller'. The buyer (the 'buy') bids for a certain amount of tokens at a specific price. This demand is then satisfied by the seller (the 'sell'), who asks for a particular fee for their tokens. A list of 'buys' and 'sell(s)' is generated with the matching engine pairing deals that satisfy both parties.&#x20;

#### Visual Representation

An *order book depth chart* dynamically shows the list of bids and asks for a specific commodity. A general rule of practice is that the buys are shown on the left and the sells on the right.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/xcfj7NSW2y5ttNeSqc3e" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 1 - An Order book depth chart shows the buys in green, and the sells on the right are in red. The x-axis is the unit price; the y-axis is cumulative order depth (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_book#/media/File:Order_book_depth_chart.gif">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_book#/media/File:Order_book_depth_chart.gif</a>)</p></figcaption></figure>

#### Order Book Terminology&#x20;

**Price Point**&#x20;

When multiple orders are the same price, they are referred to as a *price point*, meaning that if a bid comes at that *price level*, the sell orders could potentially fulfil it.   &#x20;

**Top of the book**

The top of the book is the highest buy and the lowest sell.&#x20;

**Book depth**

The book depth is the number of price levels available at a particular time.&#x20;


# Token Page

A description of the information CandySwap provides for each trading token.

## Top Tokens

The token page (also the home page) displays a table of the current top tokens trading on CandySwap (figure 1).  This is ordered by 7 day trading volume.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/uVJkmyY4gpEV7yK4wFVh" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 1: Tokens page</p></figcaption></figure>

## Token details

When a token is selected (from the table or by searching), detailed information for that token is displayed (figure 2). At the top of the page, you have the option to buy or sell the token, which takes you to the [Swap Page](/information/swap-page), with the token automatically selected.

<figure><img src="/files/6xloP4VqozFl1TmF6JvE" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 2: Token detail page for USDC</p></figcaption></figure>

The primary information conveyed is:

1. [#price](#price "mention")
2. [#order-book](#order-book "mention")
3. [#depth-chart](#depth-chart "mention")
4. [#swaps](#swaps "mention")

### Price

This data shows the token's price, deemed the last successful swap price. A plot of this over time is also provided to display the trading cycle.

### Order Book

The Order Book lists 'Buy'(s) and 'Sell'(s). It displays the amount of a token available at a specific price. The buys are displayed in green, while the sells are shown in red.&#x20;

Example (figure 2):&#x20;

This example shows (in red) 55 units of $ALPH selling at 1.3 $USDC per unit. The closest buy is at 1.2 $USDC per unit with 4.2 $ALPH available at that price. So, in this scenario, the 'buy' can't satisfy the 'sell', and no trades happen.&#x20;

### Depth Chart

The depth chart is a visual representation of the order book; it dynamically changes as more offers are submitted.  It is a standard analytical tool used in the stock markets; some methods of interpreting it are discussed in the learning section of this [doc](/information/order-book).

### Swaps

&#x20;Below the depth chart, a list displays a token's successful swaps (figure 3).

<figure><img src="/files/klkBY1N3CeCDQ3DbxVJB" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 3: Completed swaps for USDC</p></figcaption></figure>


# Swap Page

Here you will be able to swap tokens.

First, connect your wallet. Instructions on how to set up a wallet can be found here:  [Setting up an Alephium Wallet](https://docs.deadrare.io/community/setting-up-an-alephium-wallet)

## Token selection

<figure><img src="/files/Hu9HxCxjPqnPbx3p8nsr" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 1: Token selection</p></figcaption></figure>

Select a token you wish to swap (figure 1).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The token will be automatically selected if you came from the [Token Page](/information/token-page) and clicked 'Buy' or 'Sell'.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

The default when selecting a token is to create a **buy** order for that token pair. This can be easily switched to a **sell** order by clicking the double arrows.&#x20;

## Swap form

There are 3 types of swap to choose from:&#x20;

[#swap](#swap "mention")

[#limit](#limit "mention")

[#liquidity](#liquidity "mention")

### Swap

'Simple Swap' is the easiest and quickest way to swap your tokens. Simply specify either how much you wish to send **or** receive, and the form will autocomplete with your requirements. Simple Swap matches your requirements with current open orders, and displays the details of your swap for you to check before placing the order (figure 2).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You cannot specify price when using 'Swap'. To specify price, please see 'Limit'.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/I6K8gtsFjYAbKSYX1T6S" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 2: An example of a 'Swap' order.</p></figcaption></figure>

### Limit

A 'Limit Order' allows you to specify your price. Your order has to be matched with a fellow user for a trade to be successful, so it may not go through straight away. You can withdraw your order at any time.&#x20;

Complete the form with your requirements (figure 3). The current market price is automatically selected. You can enter a custom price, or use the price selection helper buttons (1%, 5%, 10%). These will be minus(-) for a sell order, or plus(+) for a buy order. The purpose of this would be to help your order to be fulfilled sooner.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Read the form through from top to bottom before submitting, to ensure it makes logical sense and all numbers have been entered correctly. Make sure the calculations at the bottom of the form are what you were expecting.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/I584Tp21D6wGhrSQyDww" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 3: An example of a 'Limit' order. </p></figcaption></figure>

Once you have double checked the form and are happy to proceed, click 'Place order' and sign the transaction in your Alephium wallet.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
N.B. These trades may take time to happen. Your order has to be matched with a fellow user for a trade to be successful. You can withdraw your order at any time.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Liquidity

Our Automatic Liquidity system allows you to concentrate liquid perfectly on any trading pair.&#x20;

Please see [Automatic Liquidity](/information/automatic-liquidity) for more information.&#x20;


# Automatic Liquidity

Our Automatic Liquidity system allows you to concentrate liquid perfectly on any trading pair.

You can also specify a spread, meaning traders can specify how much profit they want to make each time a Swap is made against their liquidity.

**Why is this superior to a liquidity pool?**

In contrast to a liquidity pool which spreads your tokens evenly across every possible price, automatic liquidity is concentrated perfectly at a specific price.

You can then insert automatic liquidity at as many price point as you want and create a completely custom liquidity profile across any trading pair.

This is immensely powerful and now makes us a global leader in DEX design.

**How does automatic liquidity work?**

Each time somebody matches with your Buy order, a corresponding Sell is instantly opened with the tokens you would have received.

You can specify the difference in price between the Buy and Sell, for example 1%, which results in automatic profit each time an Order matches with your liquidity (figure 1).

To access the automatic liquidity feature, open the swap form and select 'Liquidity'.

Automatic liquidity orders must be less than Market Price. This is because when a standard order is created, we first match as much as we can and then the remainder is created in a new order. For liquidity flipping, we want the full amount to be flipped, so we don't want to match first. This also prevents an unmatched overlap.

A flip order keeps flipping indefinitely until it is cancelled.

<figure><img src="/files/3CHSxvQHAAl23DVF9JTE" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Figure 1: An example liquidity order.</p></figcaption></figure>

The order can be locked for one of the specified times. This means the order cannot be cancelled until the time is up. This could be useful for project owners to provide a fair launch.

**The power of Alephium!**

The Stateful UTXO model on Alephium, combined with its Smart Contract language “Ralph” and its APS (Asset Permission System), make this automatic liquidity extremely safe and efficient compared to legacy blockchains.


# Rewards

**CANDYSWAP SEASON 2**

September 13th

🍬 Season 2 will last for 60 days.\
🍬 Earn CANDY for the first 30 days.\
🍬 Exchange CANDY for ALPH trading fees.

100% of all ALPH trading fees for days 0-60 will be distributed to CANDY token holders at the end of the season. The team will hold ZERO CANDY tokens.

<https://candyswap.gg/rewards> 👇\
\
![](/files/d5mnEtPJYAJw9HMRbkdu)

**What is the purpose of season 2?**&#x20;

We want to incentivise trading activity on CandySwap and help grow the DeFi ecosystem on @Alpehium.

#### **How do we earn tokens?**

Token are rewarded for completing any swap on <https://candyswap.gg/> but only the ALPH value of the swap counts towards your daily total.

#### **How are rewards calculated?**

1024 tokens are distributed for each day. These are split evenly based on the amount of ALPH traded by every trader across all pairs on the platform.

#### **When do we get the CANDY reward tokens?**&#x20;

We will be airdropping these after the first 30 days, but you can check your current balance on the leaderboard <https://candyswap.gg/rewards>.<br>

**How will the ALPH fees distributed?**

We will open a single Buy order on CandySwap to buy the entire supply of Candy for the total amount of trading fees accumulated during the season. The bought Candy will be burned or just folded into the next airdrop.

#### Can I hold my CANDY until next season?

Yes you can keep your candies for next season, then basically you are speculating that the trading fees will grow even higher.

#### **What should CANDY holders do to help?**&#x20;

You are now the decentralised CandySwap marketing team for the next 60 days! Help spread the hype, create new Meme Coins and have fun on the platform. The more people trade, the more ALPH you will earn.

#### **How can I maximise my rewards?**

Makers get a lower fee of 0.2% so try to supply liquidity to the Orderbook. Makers and Takers earn the same rewards so Makers will get more value out of each trade.

<https://docs.candyswap.gg/help/faqs#what-are-the-fees>

Try and be the majority trader over many days, just topping 1 day will only get you a share of rewards from that day.

#### How do I get a 10x multiplier for my rewards?

If you trade $10 of USDT or USDC, all trading volume of any token will be 10x for that day. This is indicated by a flame next to your wallet address on the rewards table.

# FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

### **Can I cancel an order on a decentralised order book?**&#x20;

Yes you can cancel an order at any time in the "My Wallet" section.

### **What are the fees?**

Maker fees are 0.2%.

Taker fees are 0.5%.

### **What's the difference between Maker and Taker ?**

A maker is somebody who creates an Order first and it sits in the book. They can be a Buyer or a Seller. A taker is the person who matches with the maker and therefore takes value out of the Orderbook.

You can think of a Maker as somebody providing liquidity, therefore they usually get a lower fee.

### **Why are the fees always 0.5% in the UI?**

We label it as 0.5% in the UI because we can't be sure before a trade which one you will get. Somebody might be creating an opposite order just before you submit your transactions.

You can guarantee you are a Maker by creating your order far away from the current price.<br>

### **Why does it cost 0.5 ALPH for a transaction?**&#x20;

\
**Gas** \
0.1 ALPH is for gas, although this won't all be used. You won't normally spend the max gas and we can change this number in the UI. You will just spend as much gas as you need and the rest will be sent back. \
\
**Temporary storage** \
These costs are part of the Alephium protocol and are design to give a cost for using on-chain storage.

1. `0.1 ALPH` for creating a price point
2. `0.1 ALPH` for your place in the queue at that price
3. `0.1 ALPH` for your actual Order object
4. `0.1 ALPH` inserting you Order into the OrderMap

If the price point already exists then you won't pay for 1. and it will be sent straight back. The remaining `0.3 ALPH` will be sent back once somebody matches with your order or if you cancel the order.

### **How do I know the price of an asset on a decentralised order book?**&#x20;

The supply and demand for that asset determine the purchase price on a decentralised order book. The price will tend to increase when there are more buyers than sellers. When there are more sellers than buyers, the price will tend to decrease.&#x20;

&#x20;

### **When I switch to a token and it does not set a suggested price automatically?**

The price is just taken from the last completed trade. If there are no completed trades then there is no price. \ <br>

### **What is a decentralised order book?**&#x20;

In a decentralised order book, users can place buy or sell orders for a particular asset at a specific price. These orders are recorded on the blockchain and stored in the order book. When a match is found between a buy and sell order, the trade is executed, and the asset is transferred from the seller to the buyer.

### **What are the benefits of using a decentralised order book?**&#x20;

There are several benefits to using a decentralised order book, including:

Increased security: Because a single entity does not control a decentralised order book, it is less vulnerable to hacking or tampering.&#x20;

Greater transparency: All orders and trades are recorded on the blockchain, making it easy to see the entire history of the order book.&#x20;

Reduced fees: Because decentralised order books do not require intermediaries to facilitate trades, costs are typically lower than those of traditional exchanges.&#x20;

### **What are the risks of using a decentralised order book?**&#x20;

There are also risks to using a decentralised order book, including:&#x20;

Volatility: The prices of assets on a decentralised order book can be more volatile than those on traditional exchanges, as there is often less liquidity.&#x20;

### **Can I place both buy and sell orders on a decentralised order book?**

You can place buy and sell orders on a decentralised order book. When you place a buy order, you indicate that you want to purchase a particular asset at a specific price. When you place a sell order, you say you want to sell an asset at a particular price. If a match is found between a buy and sell order, the trade will be executed, and the purchase will be transferred from the seller to the buyer.&#x20;

# Order Book vs Automated Market Maker (AMM)

Here are some pros and cons of AMMs and order books:&#x20;

### AMMs:

#### Pros:&#x20;

Simplicity: AMMs are generally easier to use than order books, as they do not require users to specify a particular price at which they want to buy or sell an asset.&#x20;

Efficiency: AMMs can facilitate trades more quickly than order books, as they do not require a matching order to be found before a trade can be executed.&#x20;

Accessibility: AMMs can be used by anyone, regardless of their trading experience or knowledge.&#x20;

#### Cons:&#x20;

Lack of control: Users have less control over the price at which a trade is executed with an AMM, as the price is determined by a mathematical formula based on supply and demand.&#x20;

Lack of liquidity: AMMs may not always have sufficient liquidity to facilitate trades, especially for smaller or less popular assets.&#x20;

Price slippage: The price of an asset may fluctuate significantly between the time a trade is initiated and the time it is completed, resulting in price slippage.&#x20;

### Order books:&#x20;

#### Pros:&#x20;

Customisation: Users have more control over the price at which a trade is executed with an order book, as they can specify a particular price at which they want to buy or sell an asset.&#x20;

Liquidity: Order books typically have greater liquidity than AMMs, as they match buyers and sellers who are willing to trade at a specific price.&#x20;

Price stability: Order books tend to have more stable prices than AMMs, as trades are only executed when there is a matching order at the same price.

#### Cons:&#x20;

Complexity: Order books may be more difficult to use than AMMs, as users need to understand how to place and cancel orders at specific prices.&#x20;

Slower trades: Order books may take longer to complete trades, as they require a matching order to be found before a trade can be executed.&#x20;


# Permissionless System

A decentralized exchange (DEX) is a type of cryptocurrency exchange that operates on a decentralized network, such as a blockchain. One of the key features of a DEX is that it is permissionless, which means that anyone can use it without needing to obtain permission or approval from a central authority.

This is in contrast to centralised exchanges, which typically require users to go through a lengthy and often complex process to get approved to use the exchange. With a DEX, users can create an account and start trading if they have the necessary software and hardware to interact with the decentralised network.

The permissionless nature of DEXs makes them more accessible and user-friendly, as users do not need to go through any kind of approval process to use them. It also makes them more decentralized and resistant to censorship, as there is no central authority that can block or restrict access to the exchange.

Overall, the permissionless nature of DEXs is one of their key benefits, as it enables anyone to use them freely and easily.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

1. **Your legal rights**

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

**No fee usually required**

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

**What we may need from you**

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

**Time limit to respond**

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

1. **Glossary**

**LAWFUL BASIS**

**Legitimate Interest** means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

**Performance of Contract** means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

**Comply with a legal obligation** means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

**THIRD PARTIES**

**External Third Parties**

* Service providers acting as processors.
* Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the UK.
* HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

**YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS**

You have the right to:

**Request access** to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

**Request correction** of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

**Request erasure** of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

**Object to processing** of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

**Request restriction of processing** of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

* If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
* Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
* Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
* You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

**Request the transfer** of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

**Withdraw consent at any time** where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

INTRODUCTION

The following Terms of Use (“Terms”) and conditions govern all use of the [deadrare.io](http://deadrare.io) website (“the Website”), including, without limitation, the creation, minting, listing, purchase, sale, exchange, or modification of certain digital assets (collectively, the “Service”).

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

In order to list and purchase crypto assets, you may need to register for an account on the Service (“Account”). By creating an Account, you agree to:

1. provide accurate, current and complete Account information about yourself;
2. maintain and promptly update from time to time, as necessary, your Account information;
3. maintain the security of your password and accept all risks of unauthorized access to your Account and the information you provide to us; and

2. buy, sell, rent or lease access to your Account or username, unless you have Dead Rare’s written permission first;
3. share your Account password with anyone; or
4. log in or try to login to access the Service through unauthorized third party applications or clients.

Dead Rare may require you to provide additional information and documents at the request of any competent authority or in case of application of any applicable law or regulation, including laws related to anti-laundering (legalization) of incomes obtained by criminal means, or for counteracting financing of terrorism. Dead Rare may also require you to provide additional information and documents in cases where it has reasons to believe that:

1. your Account is being used for money laundering or for any other illegal activity;
2. you have concealed or reported false identification information and other details; or
3. transactions made via your Account were made in breach of these Terms.

In such cases, Dead Rare, in its sole discretion, may pause or cancel your purchase transactions until such additional information and documents are reviewed by Dead Rare and accepted as satisfying the requirements of applicable law. If you do not provide complete and accurate information and documents in response to such a request, Dead Rare may refuse to provide the Service.

By registering an Account on Dead Rare, you give us permission to use your name and picture for marketing and promotional purposes. Users registered as creators also understand and agree that Dead Rare may display, reproduce, and distribute their works represented in digital assets minted, listed and tradable on Dead Rare, for the purpose of operating, promoting, sharing, developing, marketing, and advertising the Website, or any other purpose related to Dead Rare.

MODIFICATION TO TERMS OF SERVICE

Within the limits of applicable law, Dead Rare reserves the right to review and change this Agreement at any time. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these terms and conditions. Continued use and browsing of the Website after such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES

By creating an Account, you consent to receive electronic communications from Dead Rare (e.g. via email or by posting notices to the Service).

These communications may include notices about your Account (e.g. password changes and other transactional information) and are part of your relationship with Dead Rare.

You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that Dead Rare sends to you electronically shall satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing.

Dead Rare may also send you promotional communications via email, including, but not limited to, newsletters, special offers, surveys and other news and information we think will be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving these promotional emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided therein.

You acknowledge that the ownership of digital assets (NFTs) made available or purchased on the Website may give you the right to view, store, exchange, sell and display the NFT publicly but does not allow or imply commercial use or ownership of intellectual property on the brand, design, music, video, art or other media displayed in your digital asset NFTs, unless specifically stated otherwise.

DISCLAIMERS

Except as expressly provided to the contrary in writing by Dead Rare, the Service and content contained therein, and crypto assets listed therein are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied.

Dead Rare makes no warranty that the Service:

1. will meet your requirements;
2. will be available on an uninterrupted and timely basis.

Dead Rare disclaims all other warranties or conditions, express or implied, including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for particular purpose, title and non-infringement to the Service, as well to the content published therein.

While Dead Rare attempts to make your access to and use of the service and content safe, you accept the inherent security risks of providing information and dealing online over the internet and will not hold Dead Rare responsible for any breach of security unless it is due to our gross negligence.

Dead Rare shall not be responsible or liable to you for any loss and take no responsibility for, and shall not be liable to you for any use of crypto assets, including but not limited to any losses, damages or claims arising from:

1. user error, such as forgotten passwords, incorrectly authorising transactions, or mistyped addresses;
2. server failure or data loss;
3. corrupted wallet files;
4. unauthorized access to applications;
5. any unauthorized third party activities; including, without limitation, the use of viruses, phishing, brute forcing, or other means of attack against the service or crypto assets.

Crypto assets are intangible digital assets. They exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in a blockchain. Any transfer of title that might occur in any unique digital asset occurs on the decentralized ledger within the blockchain. Dead Rare does not guarantee that Dead Rare can effect the transfer of title or right in any crypto assets.

However, Dead Rare requests its users who register as creators to warrant that the crypto assets they mint as NFTs and list through Dead Rare are their own individual creations, which have not previously been published and/or exploited in any manner, in order for them to comply with these Terms, under liability to Dead Rare and other users.

Dead Rare is not responsible for sustained casualties due to vulnerability or any kind of failure, abnormal behaviour of software (e.g., wallet, smart contract), blockchains or any other features of crypto assets. Dead Rare is not responsible for casualties due to late report by developers or representatives (or no report at all) of any issues with the blockchain supporting crypto assets including forks, technical node issues or any other issues having fund losses as a result.

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit liability of either party for fraud, death or bodily injury caused by negligence, violation of laws, or any other activity that cannot be limited or excluded by legitimate means.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties in contracts with consumers, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

ASSUMPTION OF RISKS

You accept and acknowledge:

1. The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the crypto assets, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of crypto assets will not lose money.
2. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your crypto assets transactions. Dead Rare is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to crypto assets transactions.
3. There are risks associated with using an Internet based currency, including but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that Dead Rare shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the crypto assets, however caused.
4. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility or value of crypto assets.
5. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Service and the utility of crypto assets.
6. There are risks associated with purchasing user generated content, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit assets, mislabelled assets, assets that are vulnerable to metadata decay, assets on smart contracts with bugs, and assets that may become untransferable. Dead Rare reserves the right to hide collections, contracts, and assets affected by any of these issues or by other issues. Assets you purchase may become inaccessible on Dead Rare. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view your assets on Dead Rare serve as grounds for a claim against Dead Rare.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall Dead Rare be liable to you or any third party for any lost profit or any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages arising from these terms, the Service, or for any damages related to loss of revenue, loss of profit, loss of business or anticipated savings, loss of use, loss of goodwill, or loss of data, and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract, or otherwise.

The access to and use of the Services are at your own discretion and risk, and you shall be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or mobile device or loss of data resulting therefrom.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of Dead Rare arising out of or in any way related to these terms, the access to and use of the service, content, crypto assets, or any products or services purchased on the service exceed the greater of:

1. the amount received by Dead Rare from the sale of crypto assets that are the subject of the claim, and
2. the operational costs from the sale of crypto assets that are the subject of the claim.

The foregoing limitations of liability shall not apply to liability of Dead Rare for:

1. death or personal injury caused by a member of Dead Rare’s negligence; or for
2. any injury caused by a member of Dead Rare’s fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.

TERMINATION

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Service at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

SEVERABILITY

If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision shall be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.
