Нба топ шоп что такое
Миллион за хайлайт. Что такое NBA Top Shot?
Для одних – поле чудес, для других – поле для экспериментов.
Вопрос, на что бы ты потратил 1 миллион долларов, если бы он у тебя был, банален, но найдутся и оригинальные ответы. В недавнем интервью владелец «Даллас Маверикс» Марк Кьюбан ответил на сакраментальный вопрос так: я бы заплатил 1 миллион за победный трехочковый Луки Дончича в NBA Top Shot.
Понятно, что человек, чье состояние оценивается в 4,2 миллиарда долларов, вероятно, тратит 1 миллион только на туалетный наполнитель для своих собак, и все же для осознания эксцентричности Кьюбана требуется несколько пояснений. Речь идет о 15-секундной записи эпизода прошлогоднего матча плей-офф, в котором Дончич под звуки финальной сирены хоронит «Лос-Анджелес Клипперс», а NBA Top Shot — это новая онлайн-платформа, объединяющая в себе элементы криптовалюты и коллекционирования спортивных карточек.
По сути, NBA Top Shot — это хранилище эффектных и значимых эпизодов матчей НБА, расфасованных в коллекционные наборы, каждый из которых обладает своей стартовой ценой в зависимости от характеристик.
Обычные наборы. Стоят 9 долларов и включают в себя 9 бросовых эпизодов, которые могут повторяться в наборах до 1000+ раз.
Редкие. Оцениваются в 22 доллара, поскольку помимо 7 обычных эпизодов включают в себя один редкий, тираж которого не превышает 999 клипов.
Легендарный. Для получения статуса легенды достаточно заплатить минимум 230 долларов, после чего вы станете обладателем 6 обычных моментов, 3 редких и одного легендарного, последний ограничен количеством в 99 экземпляров.
Каждый из этих наборов, даже самые дешевые, выпускаются ограниченными сериями. Авторизуясь на сайте NBA Top Shot, вы предоставляете адрес своей почты, после чего получаете приглашение на торги каждый раз, как появляется новая партия наборов хайлайтов. Помимо обычного купи-продай на сайте присутствует ряд челленджей, в рамках которых предлагается собрать определенную коллекцию или несколько эпизодов с участием одного и того же игрока. Выполнение каждого из них поднимает уровень репутации владельца и стоимость его коллекции.
В этом и состоит главная концепция всей затеи. Купив набор за 20 долларов, вы можете выудить тот самый момент, который будет необходим другому горе-трейдеру, готовому заплатить за его обладание в десятки раз больше стоимости всего вашего дома.
Можно скептически улыбаться и крутить пальцем у виска, но на сегодня NBA Top Shot прописался в Топ-3 NFT-платформ. NFT — эксклюзивный криптоактив, который невозможно поделить на части или подделать. Именно при поищи NFT-токенов сегодня заключаются колоссальные сделки на покупку виртуальных предметов искусства. В каждом видео, изображении, картине прописан неповторимый код NFT, это и делает их уникальными. Не так давно аргентинский дизайнер Андрес Рейзингер продал 10 предметов 3D-мебели за 450 тысяч долларов. Торги заняли около 10 минут. Не «12 стульев» Ильфа и Петрова, но тоже неплохо.
Так это искусство… Но только мы живем в эпоху, когда главным из искусств становится торговля, и чем в более изящную обертку завернут процесс, тем больше прибыль. Доказательство: блок-шот Зайона Уильямсона в матче с «Денвер Наггетс», который был продан на NBA Top Shot за 250 000 долларов.
Всего же за время существования платформы было куплено и продано хайлайтов более чем на 230 миллионов долларов. Рыночная стоимость обычных игровых роликов разогрета не только самим фактом новизны NBA Top Shot (ее запуск состоялся еще в 2019-м), а тем, что именно сейчас настает момент, когда люди осваивают процесс заработка посредством цифровых технологий.
Это понимает и сама лига, ведь именно НБА в соавторстве с компанией Dapper Labs, специализирующейся на создании блокчейн-сервисов, и запустили NBA Top Shot. То, что происходит сейчас, это, может, и не долгосрочная, зато идеальная ситуация для всех вовлеченных в процесс.
НБА, которая из-за пандемии просела по рейтингам, презентовала болельщикам новую возможность приобщиться к лиге, стать эксклюзивным обладателем ее частички. Люди, большая часть которых весь прошлый год сидела по домам, имели возможность и время заинтересоваться и разобраться в нюансах работы криптовалют. Сомневающихся тоже хватает, но даже они понимают, что NBA Top Shot — это не про хайлайты, которые можно бесплатно посмотреть на YouTube, это про инвестиции и экономические манипуляции.
К подобного рода инициативам можно относиться со скепсисом, но каждый раз, когда нечто подобное будет возникать на рынке, на это будет спрос, ведь желание разбогатеть быстро и с небольшими вложениями является частью не только западного менталитета, оно интернационально.
С ростом популярности NFT появляются все больше проектов, доступных для инвестирования. В этом материале мы расскажем про инвестирование в проект NBA Top Shot. Мы разберемся, как в нем работают аукционы, от чего зависит стоимость NFT и почему его главная проблема — вывод денег.

Что такое NBA Top Shot
Это маркетплейс с NFT по лицензии NBA — Национальной баскетбольной ассоциации. Его разработала компания Dapper Labs, создатели коллекционной игры CryptoKitties и блокчейна Flow. Команда разработчиков не имеет прямого отношения к NBA, но она работает по их лицензии. То есть, у них есть все разрешения на использование лейбла и интеллектуальной собственности NBA.

Суть NBA Top Shot в том, что ты коллекционируешь моменты из баскетбольных матчей. То есть NFT в проекте — это карточка, которая содержит короткий видеоролик с трех разных ракурсов с каким-то удачным движением баскетболиста. Например, когда кто-нибудь забрасывает мяч в корзину или проводит удачный блок. Каждый ракурс длится примерно 2-3 секунды. Названия карточек соответствуют имени баскетболиста, который изображен на видео. Например, Леброн Джеймс или Энтони Эдвард. В проекте эти карточки называются моментами (Moments).
Все видео уже прикреплены к NFT — их выпускает только NBA Top Shot. Загрузить свой момент или как-то его изменить нельзя. Сами видео, я так полагаю, делает организация, которая предоставляет эфир матчей NBA. То есть эти моменты берут с камер, которые снимали матч.
От чего зависит стоимость NFT в NBA Top Shot
Каждая карточка выпущена определенным тиражом. В зависимости от тиража, все NFT на платформе разделены на 3 вида:
Чем меньше тираж, тем дороже NFT. У карточек есть порядковый номер, например 1/500 или 742/2000. И чем красивее номер, тем дороже карточка.

Определить стоимость довольно просто. В NBA Top Shot очень удобный маркетплейс. Ты нажимаешь на карточку и система сразу показывает тебе количество таких моментов на рынке. Открываешь момент и там сразу появляется перечень, сколько стоят карточки с разными номерами. Есть возможность выбрать нужные номера и посмотреть цены по ним. Также маркетплейс сразу показывает минимальную цену момента.

Как работают аукционы в NBA Top Shot
В NBA Top Shot более 300 тыс. пользователей. И я очень сомневаюсь, что все они именно коллекционеры, фанаты баскетбола. Подавляющее большинство людей спекулируют на этой теме. Соответственно, они следят за рынком. И когда появляются новые карточки, они сразу заходят и прицениваются, делают предложения. Поэтому вероятность того, что кто-то продаст карточку сильно дешевле, крайне мала.

Особенности ввода и вывода денег в NBA Top Shot
Все сделки на платформе проходят через аккаунт Dapper — разработчиков проекта. В этом аккаунте можно узнать стоимость своей коллекции NFT для NBA Top Shot. На него переводишь деньги, с его баланса оплачиваешь покупки и выводишь тоже с него. С пополнением счета в NBA Top Shot проблем нет. Ты просто закидываешь деньги на внутренний счет Dapper прямо с карточки и на них покупаешь что-то. Я платил с обычной рублевой карты «Сбербанка». Сумма в рублях автоматически конвертировалась в доллары по актуальному курсу. То есть подойдет почти любая банковская карта. И проблем с тем, как пополнить свой счет в NBA Top Shot, ни у кого не возникает.

The App provides users with the opportunity to purchase, collect and showcase digital blockchain collectibles containing exclusive National Basketball Association content.

BY USING THE APP OR ANY PART OF IT, OR BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” BELOW OR INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN AN ADJOINING BOX, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS.
Any changes to these Terms will be in effect as of the “Last Updated Date” referred to at the top of this page. You should review these Terms before using the App or purchasing any product or using any services that are available through this App.
Your continued use of this App after the “Last Updated Date” will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.
By using this App, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into these Terms, and you accept and are bound by these Terns. You affirm that if you are using this App on behalf of an organization or company, you have the legal authority to bind any such organization or company to these Terms.
You may not use this App if you: (i) do not agree to these Terms; (ii) are not of the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence; or (iii) are prohibited from accessing or using this App or any of this App’s contents, products or services by applicable law.
1. USE OF THE APP; ACCOUNT SET-UP AND SECURITY
(i) Account and Wallet Set-Up. To most easily use the App, you should first install a web browser (such as the Google Chrome web browser). You will also need to use the Dapper® electronic wallet or another supported electronic wallet, which will enable you to purchase and store collectibles that you collect or purchase via the App. Each collectible is a Non-Fungible Token (an “NFT”) on the Flow™ blockchain network (the “Flow Network”).
(ii) Account Registration. You must provide accurate and complete registration information when you create an account for the App. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete account information about yourself, and to maintain and promptly update your account information as necessary. We reserve the right reclaim usernames without liability to you.
(iii) Account Security. You are responsible for the security of your account for the App and for your electronic wallets. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account with us, you agree to notify us immediately at support@nbatopshot.com
(iv) Account Transactions. You can use your electronic wallet to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using your credit card, or via one or more cryptocurrencies that we may elect to accept from time to time. Transactions that take place on the App are managed and confirmed via the Flow Network. You understand that your Flow Network public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the App.
2. PURCHASING AND EARNING YOUR MOMENTS
(i) Acquiring Moments. The App allows you to purchase, earn, collect and showcase moments (each, a “Moment”) from the National Basketball Association (the “NBA”). Each Moment is an NFT on the Flow Network.
(ii) Purchasing Moments. You can purchase Moments in two ways: (a) by buying packs of Moments from us on the App (each, a “Pack”); or (b) by buying Moments from other users in the App’s marketplace (the “Marketplace”). There are different types of Packs available for purchase on the App, and we reserve the right to modify the types, prices and numbers of Packs available at our discretion. Depending on the type of Pack you buy, you will collect Moments of varying levels of scarcity. Before you buy a Pack, we will let you know the types of Moments (but not the exact Moments) that are contained in that Pack. If you buy an individual Moment from another user in the Marketplace, you will know the exact Moment that youare purchasing. We strongly encourage you not to purchase Moments other than in Packs or on the Marketplace. If you decide to purchase Moments in any other way, you understand that such purchases will be entirely at your sole risk.
(iii) Earning Moments. You can earn Moments for free by participating in certain challenges or marketing campaigns on the App, or by completing certain in-App tasks that we may make generally available from time to time.
(iv) Characteristics of Moments. Moments are comprised of a photograph of one or more NBA players, a video of one or more NBA players, and a set of statistics that are associated with one or more NBA players. Each Moment has a defined set of attributes – including scarcity – which help determine the value of the Moment.
(v) Subjectivity of Moments. The value of each Moment is inherently subjective, in the same way the value of other collectibles is inherently subjective. Each Moment has no inherent or intrinsic value. Some collectors might prefer to have a Moment featuring a certain NBA player, while another might prefer an equivalent Moment featuring a different NBA player. Each NBA player can have more than one Moment associated with them, and those Moments will each have different characteristics.
(vi) Showcasing Moments. The “Showcase” feature of the App allows to you organize your Moments into collections, and show them to your friends.
3. PAYMENT, GAS FEES, AND TAXES
(i) Financial Transactions on App. Any payments or financial transactions that you engage in via the App will be conducted solely through the Flow Network. We have no control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any payments or transactions. We have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any payments or transactions that you engage in via the App, or any other payment or transactions that you conduct via the Flow Network. We do not provide refunds for any purchases that you might make on or through the App – whether for Moments, Packs, or anything else.
(ii) Gas Fees. Every transaction on the Flow Network requires the payment of a transaction fee (each, a “Gas Fee”). The Gas Fees fund the network of computers that run the decentralized Flow Network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that you instigate via the App. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, you will be solely responsible to pay any Gas Fee for any transaction that you instigate via the App.
(iii) Responsibility for Taxes. You will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, the “Taxes”) associated with your use of the App. Except for income taxes levied on us, you: (a) will pay or reimburse us for all national, federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value added taxes and taxes as required by international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and (b) will not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments (including Gas Fees) made to us pursuant to these Terms. To allow us to determine our tax obligations, unless you otherwise notify us in writing, you confirm that you are not a resident in Canada nor are you registered for Goods and services tax / Harmonized sales tax (GST / HST) or Provincial sales taxes (PST) in Canada, and will inform us if your status changes in the future.
4. OWNERSHIP, LICENSE, AND OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS
YOUR OWNERSHIP OF MOMENTS WILL ONLY BE RECOGNIZED BY US IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE RIGHTFULLY ACQUIRED SUCH MOMENTS FROM A LEGITIMATE SOURCE AND NOT THROUGH ANY OF THE CATEGORY B PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES (AS DEFINED BELOW).
For the purposes of this Section 4, the following capitalized terms will have the following meanings:
“Art” means any art, design, and drawings (in any form or media, including, without limitation, video or photographs) that may be associated with a Moment that you Own.
“Own” means, with respect to a Moment, a Moment that you have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (and not through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities (as defined below)), where proof of such purchase is recorded on the Flow Network.
“Purchased Moment” means a Moment that you Own. “Third Party IP” means any third party patent rights (including, without limitation, 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.
(i) Ownership of Moment. Because each Moment is an NFT on the Flow Network, when you purchase a Moment in accordance with these Terms (and not through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), you own the underlying NFT completely. This means that you have the right to swap your Moment, sell it, or give it away. Ownership of the Moment is mediated entirely by the Flow Network. Except as otherwise permitted by these Terms in cases where we determine that the Moment has not been rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (including, without limitation, through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), at no point will we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Moment.
(ii) We Own the App. You acknowledge and agree that we (or, as applicable, our licensors) owns all legal right, title and interest in and to all other elements of the App, 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 App (collectively, the “App Materials”)). You acknowledge that the App Materials are protected by copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and applicable laws. All App Materials are the copyrighted property of us or our licensors, and all trademarks, service marks, and trade names associated with the App or otherwise contained in the App Materials are proprietary to us or our licensors.
(iii) No User License or Ownership of App Materials. Except as expressly set forth herein, your use of the App does not grant you ownership of or any other rights with respect to any content, code, data, or other App Materials that you may access on or through the App. We reserve all rights in and to the App Materials that are not expressly granted to you in these Terms.
(iv) Further User Ownership Acknowledgements. For the sake of clarity, you understand and agree: (a) that your purchase of a Moment, whether via the App or otherwise, does not give you any rights or licenses in or to the App Materials (including, without limitation, our copyright in and to the associated Art) other than those expressly contained in these Terms; (b) that you do not have the right, except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, to reproduce, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any elements of the App Materials (including, without limitation, any Art) without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold in our 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 our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold at our sole and absolute discretion.
(v) User License to Art. Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the Art for your Purchased Moments, solely for the following purposes: (a) for your own personal, non-commercial use; (b) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Purchased Moments, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Moment owner’s rights to display the Art for their Purchased Moment to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art; or (c) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your Purchased Moment, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each Moment’s owner’s rights to display the Art for their Purchased Moment to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the Purchased Moment leaves the website/application.
(vi) Restrictions on Ownership. You agree that you may not, nor permit any third party to do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without our (or, as applicable, our licensors’) express prior written consent in each case: (a) modify the Art for your Purchased Moment in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes; (b) use the Art for your Purchased Moment to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (c) use the Art for your Purchased Moment in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; (d) use the Art for your Purchased Moment in movies, videos, or any other forms of media, except to the limited extent that such use is expressly permitted in these Terms or solely for your own personal, non-commercial use; (e) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Art for your Purchased Moment; (f) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Art for your Purchased Moment; or (g) otherwise utilize the Art for your Purchased Moment for your or any third party’s commercial benefit.
(vii) Third Party IP. If the Art associated with your Purchased Moment contains Third Party IP (e.g., licensed intellectual property from the NBA or an NBA player), you understand and agree as follows: (a) that you will not have the right to use such Third Party IP in any way except as incorporated in the Art, and subject to the license and restrictions contained herein; (b) that, depending on the nature of the license granted from the owner of the Third Party IP, we may need to (and reserve every right to) pass through additional restrictions on your ability to use the Art; and (c) to the extent that we inform you of such additional restrictions in writing, 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 the license contained in this Section 4.
(viii) Other Terms of License. The license granted in Section 4(v) above applies only to the extent that you continue to Own the applicable Purchased Moment. If at any time you sell, swap, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your Purchased Moment for any reason, the license granted in Section 4(v) will immediately expire with respect to that Moment without the requirement of notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the Art for that Moment. The restrictions in Sections 4(vii) and 4(viii) will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms.
(ix) User Feedback. You may choose to submit comments, bug reports, ideas or other feedback about the App, including without limitation about how to improve the App (collectively, “Feedback”). By submitting any Feedback, you agree that we are free to use such Feedback at our discretion and without additional compensation to you, and to disclose such Feedback to third parties (whether on a non-confidential basis, or otherwise). You hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license under all rights necessary for us to incorporate and use your Feedback for any purpose.

9. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
(i) Value and Volatility. The prices of collectible blockchain assets are extremely volatile and subjective and collectible blockchain assets have no inherent or intrinsic value. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Moments, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. Each Moment has no inherent or intrinsic value. We cannot guarantee that any Moments purchased will retain their original value, as the value of collectibles is inherently subjective and factors occurring outside of the NBA Top Shot ecosystem may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular Moment.
(ii) Tax Calculations. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Moment-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the App.
(iii) Use of Blockchain. The App does not store, send, or receive Moments. This is because Moments exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the App’s supporting blockchain in the Flow network. Any transfer of Moments occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Flow network, and not on the App.
(iv) Inherent Risks with Internet Currency. 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 electronic wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Flow Network, however caused.
(v) Regulatory Uncertainty. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the NBA Top Shot ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of your Moments.
(vi) Software Risks. Upgrades to the Flow Network, a hard fork in the Flow Network, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Flow Network may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the Flow Network’s NFT standard, including the NBA Top Shot ecosystem.
You agree to hold harmless and indemnify us and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, advertisers, licensors, suppliers or partners from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage (actual and consequential) of any kind or nature, suit, judgment, litigation cost and attorneys’ fees arising out of or in any way related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your misuse of the App; or (iii) your violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with your access to or use of the App. You agree that we will have control of the defense or settlement of any such claims.
The App may include hyperlinks to other websites or resources (collectively, the “External Sites”), which are provided solely as a convenience to our users. We have no control over any External Sites. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of any External Sites, and that we do not endorse any advertising, products or other materials on or made available from or through any External Sites. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred as a result of the availability or unavailability of the External Sites, or as a result of any reliance placed by you upon the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, products or other materials on, or made available from, any External Sites.
(i) Force Majeure Events. We will not be liable or responsible to the you, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of these Terms, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)”): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics, including the 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), tsunami, explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order, law, or action; (e) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this agreement; (f) strikes, labour stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances; (g) shortage of adequate or suitable Internet connectivity, telecommunication breakdown or shortage of adequate power or electricity; and (h) other similar events beyond our control.
(ii) Performance During Force Majeure Events. If we suffer a Force Majeure Event, we will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify you of the Force Majeure Event, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. We will use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. We will resume the performance of our obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that our failure or delay remains uncured for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days following written notice given by us under this Section 12, we may thereafter terminate these Terms upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice.
13. CHANGES TO THE APP
We are constantly innovating the App to help provide the best possible experience. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the App, and any part of it, may change from time to time without prior notice to you, and that we may add new features and change any part of the App at any time without notice.
