The Certifier has examined the Asset itself and / or has examined sufficient data related to the Asset to render an informed assessment, and provides various warranties, as set out in Annex 3 (the “Warranties”), for your benefit as a holder of those Mattereum NFTs to which this Warranty Agreement relates (the “Warrantied NFT(s)”).
    3. This Warranty Agreement sets out your ability to make a claim against the Certifier in the event that a Warranty is incorrect.

      3. in relation to Warrantied NFT(s) you own.
      4. where the Certifier has accepted responsibility for making the Warranties in relation to you (on which see also clause 3.2 below).
      5. if you have paid all relevant fees owed in relation to your Warrantied NFT(s), as set out in the relevant Asset Passport(s). This includes ensuring that the Warranty Price is paid in accordance with clause 5.
      6. if your claim is made before the Certification Expiry Date set out in Annex 4.
    2. If you pass the Asset to another person (whether by way of sale, gift or otherwise), the Certifier reserves the right not to issue Warranties to that person, in which case there will be no Certifier Fee (as explained at clause 5.1) payable by that person.

  4. HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM

    1. In order to make a claim you need to complete a Claim Form (a template of which is provided at Annex 6) and send it to contact@mattereum.com before the Certification Expiry Date (set out at Annex 4).
    2. The details of your claim will be sent to the Certifier, who may respond to any issues raised and may offer an amount to settle to claim (a “Response”).
    3. If the Certifier makes a Response and you are satisfied with it, you may accept the Response and the claim will be considered resolved.
    4. If the Certifier does not make a Response within 28 days of a claim, or if you are not satisfied by the Response, you may refer your claim to dispute resolution. Any dispute shall be resolved in accordance with UKJT Digital Dispute Resolution Rules, which are available here.
    5. If your claim under the UKJT Digital Dispute Resolution Rules is successful, then the Certifier will pay any fees to the appointment body / tribunal which considers the claim. If your claim under the UKJT Digital Dispute Resolution Rules is unsuccessful, then you will pay any fees to the appointment body / tribunal which considers the claim.

  5. FEES

    1. Where Warrantied NFT(s) are sold by an exchange, then a proportion of the fee you pay for the Mattereum NFT shall be passed to Mattereum (the “Mattereum Fee”) and a proportion shall be passed to the Certifier (the “Certifier Fee”). The Mattereum Fee and the Certifier Fee together form the “Warranty Price”. Further information regarding what these fees are is provided at Annex 5.
    2. If you buy Warrantied NFT(s) other than in accordance with clause 5.1, then it is your responsibility to ensure that the Certifier is paid the Warranty Price as part of the transaction. If you do not do so, and so the Warranty Price is not paid to the Certifier, then you will not be able to make a claim under this Warranty Agreement. The seller of the Warrantied NFT(s) will also not be able to make a claim under this Warranty Agreement.
    3. The Certifier confirms that the Warranty Price is due and valuable consideration for the purposes of binding the Certifier to this Warranty Agreement.

  6. OTHER MATTERS

    2. This Warranty Agreement may only be varied with the prior written consent of the Certifier and Mattereum. Your consent is not required for a variation.

If you are resident in Scotland you may also bring proceedings in Scotland and if you are resident in Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland.
    4. If any term of this Warranty Agreement is found by any court or body or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unlawful, void or unenforceable, such term will be deemed to be severed from this Warranty Agreement and this will not affect the remainder of this Warranty Agreement which will continue in full force and effect.
    5. Nothing in this Warranty Agreement and no action taken by the parties in connection with it will create a partnership or joint venture between the parties or give any party authority to act as the agent of or in the name of or on behalf of another party or to bind another party or to hold itself out as being entitled to do so.
