These terms, in addition to our General Terms and Conditions and your applicable User Agreement (available here for residents of the US.; here if you are a resident of a country that is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland; or here if you reside anywhere else in the world), govern your use of VCOIN on the Uphold Platform. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the General Terms and Conditions or the applicable User Agreement. By obtaining or using VCOIN, you understand and expressly agree to these VCOIN Terms, and you acknowledge that you have reviewed and understand each of the statements made in these Terms.

1. In certain jurisdictions, the Uphold Platform allows you to hold, transfer and exchange VCOIN, a cryptographic digital asset built on the Ethereum Network and sold by IMVU, Inc. (“IMVU”) that is intended for use in connection with the virtual world platform operated by IMVU (“VCOIN”). Users wishing to transfer VCOIN onto the Uphold Platform from the IMVU virtual world platform must abide by the IMVU Terms of Service, available here, and a breach of such Terms of Service shall be deemed to be a breach of these Terms. IMVU is not affiliated with Uphold.
2. VCOIN may only be exchanged on the Uphold Platform for the fiat currency of your home country, or if such currency is not supported on the Uphold Platform, U.S. Dollars. Any exchange into fiat currency is subject to any applicable exchange fees or spreads as generally charged to users of the Uphold Platform.
3. All VCOIN purchased on the IMVU virtual world platform must be held for a minimum period of time as set by IMVU prior to it being transferred to the Uphold Platform. IMVU may set maximum daily and monthly amounts that you may transfer to the Uphold Platform and/or convert to fiat currency. IMVU may change these limits in its sole discretion.
4. You acknowledge and agree that VCOIN is not intended by IMVU to be an investment opportunity of any kind and should not be perceived as one, consistent with the factual basis for the no-action relief that IMVU received from the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff with respect to the sale of VCOIN, VCOIN, available at: https://www.sec.gov/corpfin/imvu-111920-2a1. VCOIN is not intended to be treated as a “security” in any jurisdiction.

In order to properly process and validate VCOIN transactions between the IMVU virtual world platform and the Uphold Platform, or to link your Uphold account to the IMVU virtual world platform, Uphold may share your Personal Data, including your Uphold account information and transaction history, with IMVU, and IMVU may share certain Personal Data gathered by IMVU with Uphold. All such processing of Personal Data by Uphold is subject to our Privacy & Data Policy as well as IMVU’s Privacy Notice.
