You understand and agree that the Service is provided on an AS IS and AS AVAILABLE basis. Myopengrid disclaims all responsibility and liability for the availability, timeliness, security or reliability of the Service. Myopengrid also reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue the Service with or without notice at any time and without any liability to you. To the extent that you access Myopengrid Grid, you agree that the Myopengrid Terms of Service are expressly incorporated by and into this Agreement, as is the Myopengrid Exchange Privacy Policy.

3. "Myopengrid Tokens" are virtual tokens that we license.

3.1 Each Myopengrid dollar is a virtual token representing contractual permission from Myopengrid to access features of the Service. Myopengrid Tokens are available for Purchase or distribution at Myopengrid's discretion, and are not redeemable for monetary value from Myopengrid. The Service includes a component of virtual tokens ("Myopengrid Tokens" or "M$"), each of which constitutes a limited license permission to use features of our Service as set forth below. Myopengrid may or may not charge fees to acquire or use Myopengrid dollars, and these fees may change at any time. When you acquire a Myopengrid dollar, Myopengrid hereby grants you a limited license ("Myopengrid Dollar License") to use the Myopengrid dollar as a virtual token to be held, bartered, traded and/or transferred in Myopengrid Grid with other users (and/or Myopengrid), in exchange for permission to access and use Content, applications, services, and various user-created features, in accordance with these Terms of Service. The Myopengrid Dollar License is transferable by the holder to any other user, provided that both users comply with these Terms of Service, maintain their Accounts in good standing, and are not delinquent on any Account payment requirements. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or otherwise expressly permitted by Myopengrid, the Myopengrid Dollar License may not be sublicensed, encumbered, conveyed or made subject to any right of survivorship or other disposition by operation of law or otherwise, and you agree that any attempted disposition in violation of these Terms of Service is null and void. Myopengrid may revoke the Myopengrid Dollar License at any time without notice, refund or compensation in the event that:

  1. (i) the Myopengrid dollar program is suspended or discontinued;
  2. (ii) Myopengrid determines that fraud or other illegal conduct is associated with the holder's Account;
  3. (iii) Myopengrid imposes an expiration date on usage of Myopengrid Tokens in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
  4. (iv) the holder's Account is terminated for violation of these Terms of Service; or
  5. (v) the holder becomes delinquent on any of that user's Account payment requirements, ceases to maintain an active Account or terminates this Agreement.

You acknowledge that Myopengrid Tokens are not real currency or any type of financial instrument and are not redeemable for any sum of money from Myopengrid at any time. You agree that Myopengrid has the right to manage, regulate, control, and/or modify the license rights underlying such Myopengrid dollars as it sees fit and that Myopengrid will have no liability to you based on its exercise of this right. Myopengrid makes no guarantee as to the nature, quality or value of the features of the Service that will be accessible through the use of Myopengrid dollars, or the availability or supply of Myopengrid dollars.

3.2 Myopengrid dollar Exchange

Myopengrid offers a Myopengrid dollar exchange, called the Myopengrid Exchange, for the trading of Myopengrid Tokens, which uses the terms "Buy" and "Sell" to indicate the transfer of Myopengrid Dollar Licenses. The Service includes a component called the "Myopengrid Exchange" or the "Exchange" which refers to an aspect of the Service through which Myopengrid permits transactions in which users may exchange their Myopengrid Tokens with one another. The Service may include other, similar Myopengrid dollar exchange sites and methods, including the Myopengrid Marketplace "Currency Exchange" (to the extent we make that method available), and the Service may from time to time include other, similar methods or sites on which Myopengrid dollars may be exchanged (referred to collectively as the "Exchange" or "Myopengrid Exchange"). You acknowledge that the Exchange has been created to enable users of Myopengrid Grid to enhance their experience using the Service with the ability to transfer license rights to other users of the Service, and that the terminology used is solely for the purpose of enabling this use of the Service. Regardless of terminology used, you acknowledge that as used in this Agreement and throughout the Service in the context of Myopengrid dollar transfers:

  1. (a) the term "Sell" means "to transfer for consideration to another user their Myopengrid Tokens in accordance with the Terms of Service,"
  2. (b) the term "Buy" or "Purchase" means "to receive for consideration from another user their Myopengrid Tokens in accordance with the Terms of Service,"
  3. (c) the terms "Buyer," "Seller," "Sale," "Recipient" and "Purchaser" and similar terms have corresponding meanings to their root terms,
  4. (d) "Sell Order" and similar terms mean a request from a user to Myopengrid to list Myopengrid Tokens for Sale on the Exchange at a requested Sale price, and
  5. (e) "Buy Order" and similar terms mean a request from a user for Myopengrid to match open Sale listings with a requested Purchase price and facilitate completion of the Sale of Myopengrid Tokens.

You acknowledge that Myopengrid may deny any Sell order or Buy order individually or with respect to general volume, price or other limitations set by Myopengrid. Myopengrid may halt, suspend, discontinue, or reverse any Exchange transaction (whether proposed, pending or past) in cases of actual or suspected fraud, violations of other laws or regulations, or deliberate disruptions to or interference with the Service.

We may increase (or decrease) this fee in our sole discretion. If we increase this fee, it will be disclosed in the Marketplace website.
