Such digital wallets allow each NFT Member to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using the native cryptocurrency. When each NFT member links their cryptocurrency wallet, they understand and agree that they are solely responsible for maintaining the security of their wallet and their control over any wallet-related authentication credentials, private or public cryptocurrency keys, non-fungible tokens or cryptocurrencies that are stored in or are accessible through their wallet. Any unauthorized access to an NFT Member’s cryptocurrency wallet by third parties could result in the loss or theft of NFT Memberships and/or funds held in each NFT Member’s wallet and any associated wallets, including any linked financial information such as bank account(s) or credit card(s). the Club is not responsible for managing and maintaining the security of any NFT Member’s cryptocurrency wallet. the Club has no responsibility or liability to any NFT member for any unauthorized access to or use of their cryptocurrency wallet or if the NFT member is unable to locate their credentials.
