SHADOWBOX LEGAL F: FORMS & FILING
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2019
PLEASE NOTE: THOSE PARTICIPANTS (AKA SHADOWBOXERS) WHO ARE SELECTED TO BE “PAID PARTICIPANTS” THROUGH OUR SHADOWBOX “TOKEN” MODEL, WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE IRS FORM W-9. AFTER THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE IRS FORM 1099-MISC SHOWING THE SHARE OF PROFITS RECEIVED.
FORM W-9
IF YOU’VE MADE THE DETERMINATION THAT THE PERSON YOU’RE PAYING IS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, THE FIRST STEP IS TO HAVE THE CONTRACTOR COMPLETE FORM W-9 (PDF), REQUEST FOR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND CERTIFICATION. THIS FORM CAN BE USED TO REQUEST THE CORRECT NAME AND TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, OR TIN, OF THE WORKER. A TIN MAY BE EITHER A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (SSN), OR AN EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (EIN). THE W-9 (PDF) SHOULD BE KEPT IN YOUR FILES FOR FOUR YEARS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IN CASE OF ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE WORKER OR THE IRS.
FORM 1099-MISC
FORM 1099-MISC (PDF) IS MOST COMMONLY USED BY PAYERS TO REPORT PAYMENTS MADE IN THE COURSE OF A TRADE OR BUSINESS TO OTHERS FOR SERVICES. IF YOU PAID SOMEONE WHO IS NOT YOUR EMPLOYEE, SUCH AS A SUBCONTRACTOR, ATTORNEY OR ACCOUNTANT $600 OR MORE FOR SERVICES PROVIDED DURING THE YEAR, A FORM 1099-MISC (PDF) NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED, AND A COPY OF 1099-MISC (PDF) MUST BE PROVIDED TO THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR BY JANUARY 31 OF THE YEAR FOLLOWING PAYMENT. YOU MUST ALSO SEND A COPY OF THIS FORM TO THE IRS BY FEBRUARY 28 (ALTHOUGH THE FORM DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SENT TO THE IRS UNTIL MARCH 31 IF THE BUSINESS FILES THE 1099S ELECTRONICALLY, USING THE FIRE SYSTEM).
ALSO NOTE THAT INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS MAY HAVE THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES OR MAY HIRE OTHER INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS (SUBCONTRACTORS). IN EITHER CASE, THEY SHOULD BE AWARE OF THEIR TAX RESPONSIBILITIES, INCLUDING FILING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, FOR THESE WORKERS. THERE ARE CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE A 1099 IS NOT REQUIRED. THESE EXCEPTIONS ARE LISTED IN THE 1099 INSTRUCTIONS (PDF).
FILING ELECTRONICALLY
THE FILING INFORMATION RETURNS ELECTRONICALLY (FIRE) SYSTEM IS SET UP FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND OTHERS TO FILE INFORMATION RETURN FORMS 1042-S, 1098, 1099, 5498, 8027 OR W-2G.

SHADOWBOX LEGAL G: SEC NOTICE
UPDATED JULY 2018
SEC.GOV/ICO NOTICE-INVESTOR BULLETIN: INITIAL COIN OFFERINGS DEVELOPERS, BUSINESSES, AND INDIVIDUALS INCREASINGLY ARE USING INITIAL COIN OFFERINGS, ALSO CALLED ICOS OR TOKEN SALES, TO RAISE CAPITAL. THESE ACTIVITIES MAY PROVIDE FAIR AND LAWFUL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. HOWEVER, NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, SUCH AS THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH ICOS, CAN BE USED IMPROPERLY TO ENTICE INVESTORS WITH THE PROMISE OF HIGH RETURNS IN A NEW INVESTMENT SPACE. THE SEC’S OFFICE OF INVESTOR EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY IS ISSUING THIS INVESTOR BULLETIN TO MAKE INVESTORS AWARE OF POTENTIAL RISKS OF PARTICIPATING IN ICOS. BACKGROUND – INITIAL COIN OFFERINGS VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS ARE CREATED AND DISSEMINATED USING DISTRIBUTED LEDGER OR BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY. RECENTLY PROMOTERS HAVE BEEN SELLING VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS IN ICOS. PURCHASERS MAY USE FIAT CURRENCY (E.G., U.S. DOLLARS) OR VIRTUAL CURRENCIES TO BUY THESE VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS. PROMOTERS MAY TELL PURCHASERS THAT THE CAPITAL RAISED FROM THE SALES WILL BE USED TO FUND DEVELOPMENT OF A DIGITAL PLATFORM, SOFTWARE, OR OTHER PROJECTS AND THAT THE VIRTUAL TOKENS OR COINS MAY BE USED TO ACCESS THE PLATFORM, USE THE SOFTWARE, OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN THE PROJECT. SOME PROMOTERS AND INITIAL SELLERS MAY LEAD BUYERS OF THE VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS TO EXPECT A RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A SHARE OF THE RETURNS PROVIDED BY THE PROJECT. AFTER THEY ARE ISSUED, THE VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS MAY BE RESOLD TO OTHERS IN A SECONDARY MARKET ON VIRTUAL CURRENCY EXCHANGES OR OTHER PLATFORMS.
DEPENDING ON THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL ICO, THE VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS THAT ARE OFFERED OR SOLD MAY BE SECURITIES. IF THEY ARE SECURITIES, THE OFFER AND SALE OF THESE VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS IN AN ICO ARE SUBJECT TO THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. TO FACILITATE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS NEW AND COMPLEX AREA, HERE ARE SOME BASIC CONCEPTS THAT YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND BEFORE INVESTING IN VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS:
WHAT IS A BLOCKCHAIN?
A BLOCKCHAIN IS AN ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTED LEDGER OR LIST OF ENTRIES – MUCH LIKE A STOCK LEDGER – THAT IS MAINTAINED BY VARIOUS PARTICIPANTS IN A NETWORK OF COMPUTERS. BLOCKCHAINS USE CRYPTOGRAPHY TO PROCESS AND VERIFY TRANSACTIONS ON THE LEDGER, PROVIDING COMFORT TO USERS AND POTENTIAL USERS OF THE BLOCKCHAIN THAT ENTRIES ARE SECURE. SOME EXAMPLES OF BLOCKCHAIN ARE THE BITCOIN AND ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAINS, WHICH ARE USED TO CREATE AND TRACK TRANSACTIONS IN BITCOIN AND ETHER, RESPECTIVELY.
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL CURRENCY OR VIRTUAL TOKEN OR COIN?
A VIRTUAL CURRENCY IS A DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF VALUE THAT CAN BE DIGITALLY TRADED AND FUNCTIONS AS A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE, UNIT OF ACCOUNT, OR STORE OF VALUE. VIRTUAL TOKENS OR COINS MAY REPRESENT OTHER RIGHTS AS WELL. ACCORDINGLY, IN CERTAIN CASES, THE TOKENS OR COINS WILL BE SECURITIES AND
MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY SOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION WITH THE SEC OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION.
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL CURRENCY EXCHANGE?
A VIRTUAL CURRENCY EXCHANGE IS A PERSON OR ENTITY THAT EXCHANGES VIRTUAL CURRENCY FOR FIAT CURRENCY, FUNDS, OR OTHER FORMS OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY. VIRTUAL CURRENCY EXCHANGES TYPICALLY CHARGE FEES FOR THESE SERVICES. SECONDARY MARKET TRADING OF VIRTUAL TOKENS OR COINS MAY ALSO OCCUR ON AN EXCHANGE. THESE EXCHANGES MAY NOT BE REGISTERED SECURITIES EXCHANGES OR ALTERNATIVE TRADING SYSTEMS REGULATED UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. ACCORDINGLY, IN PURCHASING AND SELLING VIRTUAL COINS AND TOKENS, YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME PROTECTIONS THAT WOULD APPLY IN THE CASE OF STOCKS LISTED ON AN EXCHANGE.
WHO ISSUES VIRTUAL TOKENS OR COINS?
VIRTUAL TOKENS OR COINS MAY BE ISSUED BY A VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION OR OTHER CAPITAL RAISING ENTITY. A VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION IS AN ORGANIZATION EMBODIED IN COMPUTER CODE AND EXECUTED ON A DISTRIBUTED LEDGER OR BLOCKCHAIN. THE CODE, OFTEN CALLED A “SMART CONTRACT,” SERVES TO AUTOMATE CERTAIN FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION, WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE ISSUANCE OF CERTAIN VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS. THE DAO, WHICH WAS A DECENTRALIZED AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATION, IS AN EXAMPLE OF A VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION.
SOME KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ICO
IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN AN ICO, HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER:
DEPENDING ON THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, THE OFFERING MAY INVOLVE THE OFFER AND SALE OF SECURITIES. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THE OFFER AND SALE OF VIRTUAL COINS OR TOKENS MUST ITSELF BE REGISTERED WITH THE SEC, OR BE PERFORMED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. BEFORE INVESTING IN AN ICO, ASK WHETHER THE VIRTUAL TOKENS OR COINS ARE SECURITIES AND WHETHER THE PERSONS SELLING THEM REGISTERED THE OFFERING WITH THE SEC. A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND ABOUT REGISTRATION:
– IF AN OFFERING IS REGISTERED, YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION (SUCH AS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR “FORM S-1”) ON SEC.GOV THROUGH EDGAR. – IF A PROMOTER STATES THAT AN OFFERING IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, AND YOU ARE NOT AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR, YOU SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL – MOST EXEMPTIONS HAVE NET WORTH OR INCOME REQUIREMENTS.
– ALTHOUGH ICOS ARE SOMETIMES DESCRIBED AS CROWDFUNDING CONTRACTS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION CROWDFUNDING OR WITH THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS GENERALLY.
– ASK WHAT YOUR MONEY WILL BE USED FOR AND WHAT RIGHTS THE VIRTUAL COIN OR TOKEN PROVIDES TO YOU. THE PROMOTER SHOULD HAVE A CLEAR BUSINESS PLAN THAT YOU CAN READ AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND. THE RIGHTS THE TOKEN OR COIN
ENTITLES YOU TO SHOULD BE CLEARLY LAID OUT, OFTEN IN A WHITE PAPER OR DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP. YOU SHOULD SPECIFICALLY ASK ABOUT HOW AND WHEN YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY BACK IN THE EVENT YOU WISH TO DO SO. FOR EXAMPLE, DO YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO GIVE THE TOKEN OR COIN BACK TO THE COMPANY OR TO RECEIVE A REFUND? OR CAN YOU RESELL THE COIN OR TOKEN? ARE THERE ANY LIMITATIONS ON YOUR ABILITY TO RESELL THE COIN OR TOKEN?
– IF THE VIRTUAL TOKEN OR COIN IS A SECURITY, FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS REQUIRE INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS AND THEIR FIRMS WHO OFFER, TRANSACT IN, OR ADVISE ON INVESTMENTS TO BE LICENSED OR REGISTERED. YOU CAN VISIT INVESTOR.GOV TO CHECK THE REGISTRATION STATUS AND BACKGROUND OF THESE INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS.
– ASK WHETHER THE BLOCKCHAIN IS OPEN AND PUBLIC, WHETHER THE CODE HAS BEEN PUBLISHED, AND WHETHER THERE HAS BEEN AN INDEPENDENT CYBERSECURITY AUDIT.
– FRAUDSTERS OFTEN USE INNOVATIONS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO PERPETRATE FRAUDULENT INVESTMENT SCHEMES. FRAUDSTERS MAY ENTICE INVESTORS BY TOUTING AN ICO INVESTMENT “OPPORTUNITY” AS A WAY TO GET INTO THIS CUTTING EDGE SPACE, PROMISING OR GUARANTEEING HIGH INVESTMENT RETURNS. INVESTORS SHOULD ALWAYS BE SUSPICIOUS OF JARGON-LADEN PITCHES, HARD SELLS, AND PROMISES OF OUTSIZED RETURNS. ALSO, IT IS RELATIVELY EASY FOR ANYONE TO USE BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE AN ICO THAT LOOKS IMPRESSIVE, EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A SCAM.
– VIRTUAL CURRENCY EXCHANGES AND OTHER ENTITIES HOLDING VIRTUAL CURRENCIES, VIRTUAL TOKENS OR COINS MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FRAUD, TECHNICAL GLITCHES, HACKS, OR MALWARE. VIRTUAL TOKENS OR VIRTUAL CURRENCY MAY BE STOLEN BY HACKERS.
INVESTING IN AN ICO MAY LIMIT YOUR RECOVERY IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD OR THEFT. WHILE YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, YOUR ABILITY TO RECOVER MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITED. IF FRAUD OR THEFT RESULTS IN YOU OR THE ORGANIZATION THAT ISSUED THE VIRTUAL TOKENS OR COINS LOSING VIRTUAL TOKENS, VIRTUAL CURRENCY, OR FIAT CURRENCY, YOU MAY HAVE LIMITED RECOVERY OPTIONS. THIRDPARTY WALLET SERVICES, PAYMENT PROCESSORS, AND VIRTUAL CURRENCY EXCHANGES THAT PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES IN THE USE OF VIRTUAL CURRENCIES MAY BE LOCATED OVERSEAS OR BE OPERATING UNLAWFULLY. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS MAY FACE PARTICULAR CHALLENGES WHEN INVESTIGATING ICOS AND, AS A RESULT, INVESTOR REMEDIES MAY BE LIMITED. THESE CHALLENGES INCLUDE:
– TRACING MONEY. TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS (SUCH AS BANKS) OFTEN ARE NOT INVOLVED WITH ICOS OR VIRTUAL CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW THE FLOW OF MONEY.
– INTERNATIONAL SCOPE. ICOS AND VIRTUAL CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND USERS SPAN THE GLOBE. ALTHOUGH THE SEC REGULARLY OBTAINS INFORMATION FROM ABROAD (SUCH AS THROUGH CROSS-BORDER AGREEMENTS), THERE MAY BE RESTRICTIONS ON HOW THE SEC CAN USE THE INFORMATION AND IT MAY TAKE MORE TIME TO GET THE INFORMATION. IN SOME CASES, THE SEC MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PERSONS OR ENTITIES LOCATED OVERSEAS.
– NO CENTRAL AUTHORITY. AS THERE IS NO CENTRAL AUTHORITY THAT COLLECTS VIRTUAL CURRENCY USER INFORMATION, THE SEC GENERALLY MUST RELY ON OTHER SOURCES FOR THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION.
– FREEZING OR SECURING VIRTUAL CURRENCY. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY FREEZING OR SECURING INVESTOR FUNDS THAT ARE HELD IN A VIRTUAL CURRENCY. VIRTUAL CURRENCY WALLETS ARE ENCRYPTED AND UNLIKE MONEY HELD IN A BANK OR BROKERAGE ACCOUNT, VIRTUAL CURRENCIES MAY NOT BE HELD BY A THIRD-PARTY CUSTODIAN.
– BE CAREFUL IF YOU SPOT ANY OF THESE POTENTIAL WARNING SIGNS OF INVESTMENT FRAUD.
– “GUARANTEED” HIGH INVESTMENT RETURNS. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GUARANTEED HIGH INVESTMENT RETURNS. BE WARY OF ANYONE WHO PROMISES THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE A HIGH RATE OF RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT, WITH LITTLE OR NO RISK.
– UNSOLICITED OFFERS. AN UNSOLICITED SALES PITCH MAY BE PART OF A FRAUDULENT INVESTMENT SCHEME. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION IF YOU RECEIVE AN UNSOLICITED COMMUNICATION—MEANING YOU DIDN’T ASK FOR IT AND DON’T KNOW THE SENDER—ABOUT AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY.
– SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. IF THE INVESTMENT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS. REMEMBER THAT INVESTMENTS PROVIDING HIGHER RETURNS TYPICALLY INVOLVE MORE RISK.
– PRESSURE TO BUY RIGHT NOW. FRAUDSTERS MAY TRY TO CREATE A FALSE SENSE OF URGENCY TO GET IN ON THE INVESTMENT. TAKE YOUR TIME RESEARCHING AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY BEFORE HANDING OVER YOUR MONEY. – UNLICENSED SELLERS. MANY FRAUDULENT INVESTMENT SCHEMES INVOLVE UNLICENSED INDIVIDUALS OR UNREGISTERED FIRMS. CHECK LICENSE AND REGISTRATION STATUS ON INVESTOR.GOV.
– NO NET WORTH OR INCOME REQUIREMENTS. THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REQUIRE SECURITIES OFFERINGS TO BE REGISTERED WITH THE SEC UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION APPLIES. MANY REGISTRATION EXEMPTIONS REQUIRE THAT INVESTORS ARE ACCREDITED INVESTORS; SOME OTHERS HAVE INVESTMENT LIMITS. BE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS OF PRIVATE (I.E., UNREGISTERED) INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT DO NOT ASK ABOUT YOUR NET WORTH OR INCOME OR WHETHER INVESTMENT LIMITS APPLY.
BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT, CAREFULLY READ ANY MATERIALS YOU ARE GIVEN AND VERIFY THE TRUTH OF EVERY STATEMENT YOU ARE TOLD ABOUT THE INVESTMENT. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO RESEARCH AN INVESTMENT, READ OUR PUBLICATION ASK QUESTIONS. INVESTIGATE THE INDIVIDUALS AND FIRMS OFFERING THE INVESTMENT, AND CHECK OUT THEIR BACKGROUNDS ON INVESTOR.GOV AND BY CONTACTING YOUR STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR . MANY FRAUDULENT INVESTMENT SCHEMES INVOLVE UNLICENSED INDIVIDUALS OR UNREGISTERED FIRMS.
PLEASE NOTE: ON JULY 25, 2017, THE SEC ISSUED A REPORT OF INVESTIGATION UNDER SECTION 21(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 DESCRIBING AN SEC INVESTIGATION OF THE DAO, A VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION, AND ITS USE OF DISTRIBUTED LEDGER OR BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO FACILITATE THE OFFER AND SALE OF DAO TOKENS TO RAISE CAPITAL. THE COMMISSION APPLIED EXISTING U.S. FEDERAL
SECURITIES LAWS TO THIS NEW PARADIGM, DETERMINING THAT DAO TOKENS WERE SECURITIES. THE COMMISSION STRESSED THAT THOSE WHO OFFER AND SELL SECURITIES IN THE U.S. ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THOSE SECURITIES ARE PURCHASED WITH VIRTUAL CURRENCIES OR DISTRIBUTED WITH BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY.

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF ANY DATA THAT YOU DISCLOSE ONLINE. YOU ACCEPT THE INHERENT SECURITY RISKS OF PROVIDING INFORMATION AND DEALING ONLINE OVER THE INTERNET AND WILL NOT HOLD US RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BREACH OF SECURITY UNLESS IT IS DUE TO OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.
WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS AND TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR, ANY USE OF CRYPTO ASSETS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (A) USER ERROR SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS, INCORRECTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, OR MISTYPED ADDRESSES; (B) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (C) CORRUPTED WALLET FILES; (D) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO APPLICATIONS; (E) ANY UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE USE OF VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTEFORCING 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 THE ETHEREUM NETWORK. ANY TRANSFER OF TITLE THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN ANY UNIQUE DIGITAL ASSET OCCURS ON THE DECENTRALIZED LEDGER WITHIN THE ETHEREUM PLATFORM. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT SHADOWBOX OR ANY SHADOWBOX PARTY CAN EFFECT THE TRANSFER OF TITLE OR RIGHT IN ANY CRYPTO ASSETS.
SHADOWBOX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUSTAINED CASUALTIES DUE TO VULNERABILITY OR ANY KIND OF FAILURE, ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR OF SOFTWARE (E.G., WALLET, SMART CONTRACT), BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF THE CRYPTO ASSETS. SHADOWBOX 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 RISKYOU ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE:
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.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHAT, IF ANY, TAXES APPLY TO YOUR CRYPTO ASSETS TRANSACTIONS. NEITHER SHADOWBOX NOR ANY OTHER SHADOWBOX PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE TAXES THAT APPLY TO CRYPTO ASSETS TRANSACTIONS.
OUR SERVICE DOES NOT STORE, SEND, OR RECEIVE CRYPTO ASSETS. THIS IS BECAUSE CRYPTO ASSETS EXIST ONLY BY VIRTUE OF THE OWNERSHIP RECORD MAINTAINED ON ITS SUPPORTING BLOCKCHAIN. ANY TRANSFER OF CRYPTO ASSETS OCCURS WITHIN THE SUPPORTING BLOCKCHAIN AND NOT ON THIS SERVICE.
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 SHADOWBOX WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COMMUNICATION FAILURES, DISRUPTIONS, ERRORS, DISTORTIONS OR DELAYS YOU MAY EXPERIENCE WHEN USING THE CRYPTO ASSETS, HOWEVER CAUSED.
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.
THE REGULATORY REGIME GOVERNING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES, CRYPTOCURRENCIES, AND TOKENS IS UNCERTAIN, AND NEW REGULATIONS OR POLICIES MAY MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUCTION AND/OR SERVICE AND THE UTILITY OF CRYPTO ASSETS.
THE SERVICE WILL RELY ON THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS SUCH AS METAMASK TO PERFORM THE TRANSACTIONS FOR THE AUCTION OF CRYPTO ASSETS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH SUCH PLATFORM PROVIDERS; IF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR PRICING OF SUCH PLATFORM
PROVIDERS CHANGE; IF WE VIOLATE OR CANNOT COMPLY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH PLATFORMS; OR IF ANY OF SUCH PLATFORMS LOSES MARKET SHARE OR FALLS OUT OF FAVOR OR IS UNAVAILABLE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME, ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE WILL SUFFER.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PURCHASING USER GENERATED CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RISK OF PURCHASING COUNTERFEIT ASSETS, MISLABELED ASSETS, ASSETS THAT ARE VULNERABLE TO METADATA DECAY, ASSETS ON SMART CONTRACTS WITH BUGS, AND ASSETS THAT MAY BECOME UNTRANSFERRABLE. SHADOWBOX 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 SHADOWBOX. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE INABILITY TO VIEW YOUR ASSETS ON SHADOWBOX SERVE AS GROUNDS FOR A CLAIM AGAINST SHADOWBOX.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITYTO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SHADOWBOX 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, PRODUCTS OR THIRD PARTY SITES AND PRODUCTS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, 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, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF SHADOWBOX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY OF SHADOWBOX FOR (A) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY A MEMBER OF SHADOWBOX’S NEGLIGENCE; OR FOR (B) ANY INJURY CAUSED BY A MEMBER OF SHADOWBOX’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.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF THE SERVICE, TO ANY PRODUCTS SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE SERVICE, OR TO ANY ASPECT OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SHADOWBOX, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT (1) YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY; AND (2) YOU OR SHADOWBOX MAY SEEK EQUITABLE RELIEF IN COURT FOR INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (SUCH AS TRADEMARKS, TRADE DRESS, DOMAIN NAMES, TRADE SECRETS, COPYRIGHTS, AND PATENTS).
ARBITRATION RULES AND FORUM. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY JAMS, AN ESTABLISHED ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVIDER. DISPUTES INVOLVING CLAIMS AND COUNTERCLAIMS UNDER $250,000, NOT INCLUSIVE OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND INTEREST, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO JAMS’S MOST CURRENT VERSION OF THE STREAMLINED A R B I T R AT I O N R U L ES A N D P R O C E D U R ES AVA I L A B L E AT H T T P : // WWW.JAMSADR.COM/RULES-STREAMLINED-ARBITRATION/; ALL OTHER CLAIMS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO JAMS’S MOST CURRENT VERSION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES, AVAILABLE AT HTTP://
WWW.JAMSADR.COM/RULES-COMPREHENSIVE-ARBITRATION/. JAMS’S RULES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE AT JAMSADR.COM OR BY CALLING JAMS AT 800-352- 5267. IF JAMS IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ARBITRATE, THE PARTIES WILL SELECT AN ALTERNATIVE ARBITRAL FORUM. IF THE ARBITRATOR FINDS THAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY JAMS’S FILING, ADMINISTRATIVE, HEARING AND/OR OTHER FEES AND CANNOT OBTAIN A WAIVER FROM JAMS, SHADOWBOX WILL PAY THEM FOR YOU. IN ADDITION, SHADOWBOX WILL REIMBURSE ALL SUCH JAMS’S FILING, ADMINISTRATIVE, HEARING AND/OR OTHER FEES FOR CLAIMS TOTALING LESS THAN $10,000 UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THE CLAIMS ARE FRIVOLOUS. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO HAVE THE ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE, BASED ON WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS, OR IN PERSON IN THE COUNTRY WHERE YOU LIVE OR AT ANOTHER MUTUALLY AGREED LOCATION. ANY JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
AUTHORITY OF ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO (A) DETERMINE THE SCOPE AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND (B) RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO THE INTERPRETATION, APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR FORMATION OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY CLAIM THAT ALL OR ANY PART OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS VOID OR VOIDABLE. THE ARBITRATION WILL DECIDE THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES, IF ANY, OF YOU AND SHADOWBOX. THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING WILL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER MATTERS OR JOINED WITH ANY OTHER CASES OR PARTIES. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GRANT MOTIONS DISPOSITIVE OF ALL OR PART OF ANY CLAIM. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO AWARD MONETARY DAMAGES AND TO GRANT ANY NON- MONETARY REMEDY OR RELIEF AVAILABLE TO AN INDIVIDUAL UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE ARBITRAL FORUM’S RULES, AND THE TERMS (INCLUDING THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT). THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ISSUE A WRITTEN AWARD AND STATEMENT OF DECISION DESCRIBING THE ESSENTIAL FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON WHICH THE AWARD IS BASED, INCLUDING THE CALCULATION OF ANY DAMAGES AWARDED. THE ARBITRATOR HAS THE SAME AUTHORITY TO AWARD RELIEF ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THAT A JUDGE IN A COURT OF LAW WOULD HAVE. THE AWARD OF THE ARBITRATOR IS FINAL AND BINDING UPON YOU AND US.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. YOU AND SHADOWBOX HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. YOU AND SHADOWBOX ARE INSTEAD ELECTING THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 14(B) ABOVE. AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT AND MUST FOLLOW THESE TERMS AS A COURT WOULD.

# WE’RE ASKING YOU TO:
### **RESPECT OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS.**
A STRONG COMMUNITY IS BUILT ON RESPECT, SO PLEASE KEEP ALL CONVERSATIONS CIVIL AND CONSTRUCTIVE. THE CRYPTO ART COMMUNITY BY AND LARGE IS FILLED WITH ARTISTS AND COLLECTORS WHO CELEBRATE, INSPIRE, AND MENTOR CREATIVITY, TALENT, AND INNOVATION. WE UNDERSTAND THAT LIKE MOST CRYPTO AND ART C O M M U N I T I E S , T H E S H A D O W B O X C O M M U N I T Y I S N O T W I T H O U T DISAGREEMENT OR DEBATE. KEEP ALL DISCOURSE CIVIL, OPEN-MINDED, AND RESPECTFUL.
### **AVOID HARASSMENT OR HATE SPEECH**.
DO NOT HARASS, BULLY, IMPERSONATE, OR INTIMIDATE ANYONE IN THE SHADOWBOX COMMUNITY. SHADOWBOX HAS A ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY TOWARDS ATTACKING OR HARASSING A PERSON OR GROUP BASED ON RACE, ETHNICITY, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION, DISABILITY, DISEASE, AGE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER, OR GENDER IDENTITY. WE WILL REMOVE PEOPLE WHO PERSISTENTLY HARASS OR USE HATE SPEECH AGAINST OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
### **RESOLVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL DISPUTES.**
WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO RESOLVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL DISPUTES WITH OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN A RESPECTFUL, HONEST, AND WELL-INTENTIONED MANNER. IN THE INTEREST OF PRESERVING AN OPEN, UNBIASED, AND TRANSPARENT COMMUNITY, THE SHADOWBOX TEAM WILL NOT INVOLVE ITSELF OR WEIGH IN ON PETTY PERSONAL DISPUTES, TWITTER WARS, OR DEBATES ABOUT ART OR CRYPTOCURRENCY.
### **NOT GIVE POWER TO HATE.**
THIS SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING, BUT DO NOT PROMOTE, SUPPORT, OR GLORIFY HATEFUL OR EXTREMIST IDEOLOGIES, SUCH AS WHITE SUPREMACIST OR T E R RO R I ST G RO U P S .

### **PROTECT YOUR KEYS.**
ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR ETHEREUM PRIVATE KEY AND BACK IT UP SOMEWHERE OFFLINE. SHADOWBOX TEAM MEMBERS WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR YOUR PRIVATE KEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONAL INFO. IF ANYONE ASKS YOU TO SEND ETH OR TOKENS, IT’S MOST LIKELY A SCAM. BE SMART AND STAY SAFE.
### **RESPECT THE ARTISTS.**
THE ARTISTS ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN, SO BE RESPECTFUL TO ALL SHADOWBOX ARTISTS EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A FAN OF THEIR WORK. SHADOWBOX COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE THE NEW TASTEMAKERS OF THE DIGITAL ART FUTURE, SO IT IS COMPLETELY FINE (AND ENCOURAGED!) TO COMMENT ON OR CRITICIZE SHADOWBOX ARTISTS OR ARTWORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSION. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD NEVER PUBLICLY DISPARAGE OR TARGET A SPECIFIC ARTIST WITH THE INTENTION OF INTERFERING WITH HIS OR HER ABILITY TO SELL WORKS, PROMOTE ARTWORK, OR RECEIVE A FAIR PRICE FOR A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION.
### **SHARE, LINK, AND PROVIDE ATTRIBUTION**.
SHARING IS CARING. WE AT SHADOWBOX BELIEVE THAT MORE EYES ON SHADOWBOX ARTWORK BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

THIS ENSURES THAT THE ARTIST WILL ALWAYS RECEIVE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT FOR HIS OR HER CREATIVE EFFORTS.

### **DO NOT HACK.**

USERS OF THE SHADOWBOX PLATFORM SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO HACK, CIRCUMVENT, OR SPAM THE SHADOWBOX SMART CONTRACTS.

SHADOWBOX IS A MARKETPLACE FOR *AUTHENTIC* AND *ORIGINAL* DIGITAL ART. OUR TERMS OF SERVICE EXPRESSLY FORBID ARTISTS FROM POSTING UNAUTHORIZED, COPIED, OR OTHERWISE UNORIGINAL CONTENT. SHADOWBOX ARTISTS SHOULD ESPECIALLY REFRAIN FROM POSTING, REPURPOSING, OR REMIXING THE WORK OF OTHER SHADOWBOX ARTISTS WITHOUT PERMISSION. IF YOU ARE UNSURE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT AN ARTWORK IS A PROHIBITED REPRODUCTION OF SOMEONE ELSE’S WORK, THEN DO NOT TOKENIZE IT.
### **MONITOR YOUR CONTENT.**
ALL ARTISTS SHOULD MONITOR THEIR OWN ART FOR INFRINGING CONTENT BEFORE M I N T I N G A T O K E N T O E N S U R E T H E I N T E G R I T Y A N D AUTHENTICITY OF THE MARKETPLACE. OUR TERMS OF SERVICE EXPRESSLY REQUIRE ARTIST TO REPRESENT THAT THEIR WORKS CONTAIN NO INFRINGING OR UNAUTHORIZED MATERIAL.

USERS ARE FORBIDDEN FROM, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SELLING WORKS TO THEMSELVES, CREATING FICTITIOUS ACCOUNTS TO BID ON A WORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF INFLUENCING ITS MARKET PRICE, OR TRANSFERRING WORKS TO OTHER WALLETS CONTROLLED BY THE USER OR OTHER CONSPIRATORS TO DEVALUE OR OVERVALUE THE WORK OR WORKS CREATED BY A PARTICULAR ARTIST.
### **USE THE MARKETPLACE TO BUY ART… AND NOTHING ELSE.**
SHADOWBOX IS A PLACE FOR ARTWORK TRANSACTIONS, AND NOT A PLACE FOR ILLICIT ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. USERS ARE EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN FROM ENGAGING INTO ANY TRANSACTION ON THE SHADOWBOX MARKETPLACE FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONCEALING ECONOMIC ACTIVITY NOT RELATING TO ARTWORK TRANSACTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, AND WITHOUT LIMITATION, USERS ARE FORBIDDEN FROM USING THE MARKETPLACE TO LAUNDER MONEY, CONCEAL OR TRANSFER PROCEEDS RELATING TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, OR TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE FOR CONSIDERATION OTHER THAN A SHADOWBOX ARTWORK.
### **FOLLOW THE LAW.**
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND ANY OTHER LEGAL REGULATIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE SHADOWBOX COMMUNITY. IF YOU’RE WONDERING IF IT’S ILLEGAL, THEN IT PROBABLY DOESN’T HAVE A PLACE WITHIN SHADOWBOX. WE LOVE CREATIVE FREEDOM AND HAVE SPENT YEARS

## SHADOWBOX AUCTIONS
NO ART MARKETPLACE WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT AN AUCTION HOUSE, WHICH IS WHY SHADOWBOX HAS EXPANDED UPON ITS CORE SET OF SMART CONTRACTS TO INTRODUCE AUCTIONS. BUT DELIVERING THE EXCITEMENT OF A LIVE, PEER-TO-PEER DIGITAL AUCTION WITHIN A SMART CONTRACT-ENABLED ART MARKETPLACE INTRODUCES CERTAIN RISKS FOR AUCTION PARTICIPANTS. SHADOWBOX IS STEADILY PROGRESSING THE DECENTRALIZATION OF ART THROUGH THESE NEW MARKET MECHANICS, BUT NOT WITHOUT ENSURING THAT ITS USERS UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND ACCEPT THE RISKS OF PARTICIPATING IN AUCTIONS. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OR USING THE PLATFORM, THE USER AFFIRMATIVELY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES TO THE [SHADOWBOX AUCTION TERMS OF USE]

A SCHEDULED AUCTION MAY BE CANCELLED PRIOR TO THE START OF THE AUCTION, I.E. WHEN IT IS COUNTING DOWN TO KICK OFF. AFTER THE AUCTION BEGINS, IT CANNOT BE STOPPED, CANCELLED, OR UNDONE.

## ARBITRATION AGREEMENT & WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING CLASS ACTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA (AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION) RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR SHADOWBOX WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
### YOU AGREE TO WAIVE A JURY TRIAL
YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF THROUGH COURT PROCEEDINGS. YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO ANY JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM. ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, OR OTHER DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND SHADOWBOX RELATING TO THESE TERMS, OUR SITE, SHADOWBOX ITEM, OR ANY ORDERS SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“*AAA RULES*”). THE ARBITRATION WILL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING UPON THE PARTIES AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATION WILL BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL AND THAT THE EXISTENCE OF THE PROCEEDING AND ANY ELEMENT OF
IT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PLEADINGS, BRIEFS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED OR EXCHANGED AND ANY TESTIMONY OR OTHER ORAL SUBMISSIONS AND AWARDS) WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED BEYOND THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS, EXCEPT AS MAY LAWFULLY BE REQUIRED IN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE ARBITRATION OR BY APPLICABLE DISCLOSURE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF SECURITIES, REGULATORY AUTHORITIES, OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES.

YOU AND SHADOWBOX MAY ALSO BRING QUALIFYING CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. IN ADDITION, YOU AND SHADOWBOX RETAIN THE RIGHT TO APPLY TO ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION FOR PROVISIONAL RELIEF, INCLUDING PRE-ARBITRAL ATTACHMENTS OR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIONS, AND ANY SUCH REQUEST SHALL NOT BE DEEMED INCOMPATIBLE WITH THESE TERMS, NOR A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO HAVE DISPUTES SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS.
### ARBITRATION COSTS
IF YOU DEMONSTRATE THAT THE COSTS OF ARBITRATION WILL BE PROHIBITIVE AS COMPARED TO THE COSTS OF LITIGATION, SHADOWBOX WILL PAY AS MUCH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND ARBITRATOR FEES REQUIRED FOR THE ARBITRATION AS THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE COST OF THE ARBITRATION FROM BEING PROHIBITIVE. IN THE FINAL AWARD, THE ARBITRATOR MAY APPORTION THE COSTS OF ARBITRATION AND THE COMPENSATION OF THE ARBITRATOR AMONG THE PARTIES IN SUCH AMOUNTS AS THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS APPROPRIATE.
### CLASS ACTION WAIVER
YOU MAY NOT ACT AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, NOR PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS MEMBER OF ANY CLASS CLAIMANTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM. CLAIMS MAY NOT BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. YOU MAY ONLY BRING INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY DECIDE INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED.
