Important information
Radical Penguins® is a collection of digital illustrations in the form of collectibles running on the Radix DLT Network in the form of Non Fungible Tokens (or NFTs). Those types of NFTs are referred to as "plain vanilla" NFTs, since they do not perform any other function except for being a collectible. They are essentially a collectible in substance, which just happen to have the form of a NFT.
The Site is only an interface allowing participants to reserve digital collectibles. Users are entirely responsible for the safety and management of their own private Radix DLT Network wallets and validating all transactions and contracts generated by this website before approval or engaging with us. Furthermore, as the Radical Penguins® smart contract will run on the Radix DLT Network, there is no ability to undo, reverse, or restore any transactions. Users are entirely responsible for the safety and management of their own private Radix wallets and validating all transactions and contracts generated by this website / Site before approval.
The Radical Penguins® name is Register, the logo is Trademarked, and the imagery is Copyrighted.
This Site and its connected services (including Radical Penguins®) are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind. By using this Site you are accepting sole responsibility for any and all transactions involving Radical Penguins® digital collectibles.
Important information about communication channels and marketing
The only official source of information about the Radical Penguins is found on this Site.
All other communications channels are considered informal and are not endorsed. Nobody should make any expectations based on such informal communications, rather than on their own risk. Especially, nobody should make any financial expectations whatsoever based on any communication, official or otherwise.
On occasion via Twitter / X and Telegram we may provide updates, post information or respond to queries. Whilst the project team takes great care to ensure all information is accurate, when communicating on such channels inaccuracies may occur, therefore we stress that:
1. Likes and Retweets (on Twitter / X) and / or thumbs up or other emoticon reactions on Telegram are not endorsements and may have been done by accident (as we are all busy and sometimes check our social media on the go, whilst living busy lives);
2. Both on Twitter / X and Telegram the wider community discusses about different topics. Such discussions are the community’s view only, and are not endorsed by the project team. We warn against relying on such information as it is not official, and especially we warn against making any expectations of financial value based on such discussions;
3. On Telegram there are a few admin / mods which are not part of the project team, with the main purpose of keeping discussions clean and deleting spam / hurtful images / conversations. However, if an admin / mods represents something, it does not mean that this is officially endorsed by the project team. Such members are from the community and voluntarily spend their time to help keep the conversation clean, but do not represent the Penguins officially;
4. We particularly distance ourself from all discussions which may be around pricing of Penguins which some people occasionally discuss. We do not endorse and mainly discourage such conversations as they are not congruent with our project and for what we stand for;
5. We take this opportunity to remind that all our marketing and communication is purposely made to centre around the artistic value, cultural impact and fun-ness of the penguins rather than anything which could be potentially interpreted as financial, as the Penguins are created and marketed as a collectible only. We want to make this point very clear, to ensure no financial expectations are set, not even unintentionally; and
6. The project team is only made up of Ice Penguin(@RadicalPenguins) and Pengu Creator (@PenguCreator) for Telegram and @PenguinsXRDfor Twitter / X.

This includes the risk of losing all your funds.
Similarly you expressly acknowledge and assume all risks related to the Radix blockchain, the Radical Penguins® NFT technology (in its code or wider), or any other system in relation to the use / operation of your NFT. For example if security vulnerabilities / exploits or mishandlings (either malicious or unintentional) where to be found and exploited or misused, as a result of Radix itself, or the Radical Penguins® NFTs itself, or any other computer / operating system used and if this cause any type of damage / loss of profit to you then you agree to hold the Radical Penguins® harmless from this.
This is especially true for Radix blockchain which is under development and such unforeseen consequences may occur.
You accept and acknowledge each of the following:
8.1. To the extent that you sell your Radical Penguins® collectible, please be aware that the prices of NFTs are extremely volatile and fluctuations in the prices of other NFTs, cryptocurrencies in general, popularity factors, subjective perceptions and so on, can impact the price of your Radical Penguins® both positively and negatively. Given the volatility, NFTs such as Radical Penguins® must not be considered an investment. You assume all risks in that connection;
8.2. Ownership of a Radical Penguin confers ownership of digital illustration only. Accordingly, no information on this website (or any other documents mentioned therein) is or may be considered to be advice or an invitation to enter into an agreement for any investment purpose. Further, nothing on this website qualifies or is intended to be an offering of securities in any jurisdiction nor does it constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase shares, securities or other financial products;
Due to the artistic nature of the project, Viking Labs LLC is not required to be, nor has it registered with, nor has been approved by, any regulator in any jurisdiction. You understand and are comfortable with the implication of this. It remains your sole responsibility to assure that the purchase of the Radical Penguins® and the associated illustration is in compliance with laws and regulations in your jurisdiction;
8.3. You assume all risks associated with using an NFT 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 unauthorised access to information stored within your wallet;
8.4. NFTs (like cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology) are relatively new and the regulatory landscape is unsettled. New regulations could negatively impact such technologies impacting the value for your Radical Penguins®. You understand and accept all risk in that regard;
8.5. You assume all responsibility for any adverse effects of disruptions or other issues impacting Radix DLT Network, the Radix DLT Network platform or coding / programming error in relation to the NFTs;
8.6. Rules and regulations might change and you (the owner) is responsible to keep up to date with such rules and regulations as they might be applicable to you;
8.7. Radical Penguins® , does not make any representation / warranty / promise of anything at all in relation to the Radical Penguins® collection / project (including, but not limited to, security of the NFT, availability, functionality, value, continued use, and so on), and will use this clause to the fullest extent if necessary, and you unequivocally accept this significant risk by interacting / owning with a Radical Penguins® collectibles / NFT;
8.8. Finally, by engaging / owning / trading NFTs (including Radical Penguins collectibles), all your funds are at significant risk which can result in you losing access to your funds, and / or the value of the NFT (including Radical Penguins) you own might go down to nil (sometimes instantaneously). Hence engaging with NFT is not suitable for most individuals and extreme caution is recommended;
8.9. Should you choose to trade our collectibles / NFTs, please ensure that you comply with VikingLand's T&C and address any technical / trading related queries to them. Should there be a dispute following a trade of Radical Penguins® NFTs, that is a dispute solely between the buyer and seller of such NFTs. We disclaim all trading related liabilities and responsibly (whether that liability stems from technical challenges, or a buyer / seller challenge);
Potential risk mitigation:
As a potential risk mitigation strategy no one owner should hold more than a very small number of Radical Penguins NFTs (if any) at any point in time. This is to minimise your exposure from the significant risks present in crypto / NFTs. This is not financial advice, but a common sense statement.

Any and all claims arising from the use of the VikingLand Marketplace functionalities must be addressed with VikingLand and subsequent Marketplaces (and not us).
Disputes on the Buying and Selling
Responsibility for disputes between the Buyers and the Sellers: When buying or selling Radical Penguins collectibles on the VikingLand Marketplace (or subsequent Marketplaces), you understand and agree that you are solely responsible for the relevant transaction. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, we shall not be held liable for damages caused by the sale, purchase, price, or any other act carried out by either Buyers or Sellers on or in connection with VikingLand Marketplace (or subsequent Marketplaces).
Dispute resolution between the Buyers and the Sellers: Any and all potential claims must be resolved between the relevant Buyer and / or Seller. The Seller is solely responsible for addressing any claim made against that Seller.
Taxes: As a matter of principle, the Seller / Buyer is responsible for all taxes, duties, and levies due in respect of the transaction it enters into with a Seller / Buyer.
Ownership title to a Radical Penguins collectible: For the avoidance of doubt we do not own (or hold title to) the Radical Penguins collectibles, such tiles apply to their individual holders. This also applies to the collectibles which are bought / sold / transacted on the VikingLand Marketplace (or subsequent Marketplaces). The ownership of the Radical Penguins collectible solely and unequivocally belongs to the seller / holder / or buyer (if the transaction successfully concludes) of the collectible. The ownership is verified by the VikingLand Marketplace via cryptographic ways and VikingLand Marketplace holds a central registry of ownership of the Radical Penguins collectibles holders' address.
15. Do I need to perform KYC/ AML to trade Radical Penguins?
What is KYC / AML?
KYC is an acronym for “know your customer”, or “know your client”. It involves the verification of a customer's identity and address. Identity verification requires information that can be used to verify your identity, like a valid driver’s license, a passport, etc. and address verification requires information that can be used to verify your address like a bank statement, council bill, utility bill, etc.
Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations are mandatory for major cryptocurrency exchanges, financial institutions because it ensures they comply with regulatory rules and laws, therefore remaining anti-money laundering (AML) compliant.
Do I need to do it?
Short answer: this is the responsibility of the NFT Marketplace (i.e. the crypto asset service provider). As such, VikingLand (or subsequent Marketplaces) may perform KYC / AML procedures on its clients, aligned with their legal requirements. Please refer to Marketplaces website for more information.
Long answer: Since Viking Labs LLC only created the Radical Penguins illustrations, it does not generally collect KYC on its customers, since such obligations reside with the relevant crypto assets service provider, trading provider and / or NFT marketplace.
Radical Penguins have selected and contracted with VikingLand (www.vikingland.io) as the NFT Marketplace for the Radical Penguins collectables. VikingLand is the largest NFT Marketplace on the Radix network by volume and by number of NFT projects listed. VikingLand has initially issued the Radical Penguins NFTs to the individuals who reserved them by performing an allocation process. As such, Radical Penguins has created the illustration and VikingLand has issued / minted the NFTs.
Importantly, Radical Penguins collectables can ONLY be purchased / traded / swapped on VikingLand in the moment that we have initially sold all the reservations. As such, VikingLand had made representations to us that they are operating legally and maintaining robust / proportional KYC & AML compliance procedures for transactions on all their customers. They further represented that they are responsible for setting relevant compliance thresholds, and so on as relevant, in accordance with their own legal requirements, as applicable in their jurisdiction.
If you do not complete the KYC & AML process (in case it is applicable to you, as / if decided by VikingLand), you will not be able to purchase / trade / swap your Radical Penguins on the VikingLand NFT Marketplace.
Although you may not enjoy full anonymity during cryptocurrency transactions, and there may be legal reporting requirements to relevant authorities, VikingLand may need to preform such procedures to comply with regulations.
Please note that VikingLand and Viking Labs LLC are not related / connected parties despite the name similarity.
After we have initially sold the Penguin collection on VikingLand in 2022 all other transfers / purchases / selling is solely governed between the buyer / seller and the Marketplace (initially VikingLand). Other subsequent Marketplaces such as RadLand, RadishSquare, etc. may have a different approaches to KYC, AML, etc. than VikingLand, however this is outside our purview as we are not party to the subsequent decentralised transactions.

16.16. The exclusions and limitation of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Viking Labs LLC and YOU.
17. Ranking
A ranking is made available, in a non-prominent way, for the Radical Penguins indicating, on average, how rare their traits are. This ranking is a very imprefect indication of potential rarity, since it is calculated as the sum of how frequent each of the 12 traits which compose a Radical Penguin collectible appears in the full collection, then adds them together, and sorts it on a scale of 1 to 100.
Due to the calculation mechanism, a Radical Penguin collectible, with only one extremely rare trait, but with 11 other frequent traits, may have a low rating, even if, looked from an aesthetic point of view the collectible can be considered a rare collectible.
Therefore, the ranking is not suitable for making determinations of value, and it is just added as a convenient way to sort.
We disclaim all liability which stems from any valuation of Radical Penguins, even if that stems from the ranking system, or from other sources. Please note that each potential valuation of a collectible (if any at all) is highly subjective, can change at any moment and can have a total loss of value in an instant.

You agree not to remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Site;
24.2. Entire agreement. These terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement understanding between Viking Labs LLC and you regarding the Site, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Viking Labs LLC and you regarding the Site. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extend permissible and the other provision of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Except where provided by applicable law in your jurisdiction, you may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Viking Labs LLC prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms absent our consent or your statutory right, without such consent, will be null. Viking Labs may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction.

25. Pre-Babylon notice
Radix DLT (the DLT technology that Radical Penguins operates on) is under development and still in its infancy. The main upgrade that is required for NFTs to be technically enabled is called "smart contracts" and is codenamed the "Babylon" upgrade. Babylon is currently scheduled for Q3 2023 by the Radix DLT team.
Before Babylon, Radical Penguins will operate as most (if not all) of the other NFT projects on the Radix DLT network, by effectively simulating what a NFT is generally expected to do. However, after Babylon Radical Penguins will take steps and deliver the project as a "full" NFT project.
You are accepting this technical distinction and all its implications (legal, risk, operational or otherwise).
Please be aware that the transition from Olympia (the current network) to Babylon (the future network) has a number of risks. Whilst we will do our best to minimise the impact of such risks, you assume all potential disruptions and negative consequence that may occur due to this change.
26. Donation awareness events
A "donation awareness event" is where we spotlight a reputable charity, usually chosen by a reputable community member publicly (such as on Twitter / Telegram, from the Radix CEO, Radix Head of Compliance, etc.) and ask our members to donate to the said charity. To kick-start the donation event, we promise to the person who donates / pledges the most a free unique Penguin Tribute NFT from us. The free Penguin is therefore more of an excuse to encourage charitable donations.
This is different from a traditional bid / auction, since in such cases a sale is implied and a therefore an explicit commercial interest. In our donation awareness events we are very clear that this is for charity only, hence no monetary gains should be expected / nor demanded.
How we typically conduct the donation awareness events in responsible manner? In all of our donation awareness events will:
26.1. Use the name “donation awareness event” and not bid / auction, for clarity;
26.2. Remind users to be responsible and only to donate / pledge what they are comfortable with and only to support the charity in question (usually a few times during the event to ensure coverage);
26.3. Allow plenty of time for the donation to unfold (usually a week or more), to remove the time pressure element;
26.4. Publish the rules to ensure that this nuance is clear and hence no monetary gain is to be expected from the donation;
26.5. If the amount pledged is over the amount specified our Risk Strategy / Risk Policy, then we will apply the necessary compliance procedures on the donation before we execute it, if the donation is intended to go through Viking Labs LLC's crypto wallet / bank account. Alternatively, if the donation is directly from the donor's bank / crypto account to the charity's crypto account the responsibility for checks rests with the bank and the charity and not with Viking Labs LLC;
26.6. If the individual who pledges the most is considered of unacceptable risk after the compliance procedures are applied, we will not send the free Penguin Tribute to such individual, but select the second highest pledge, and so on, until a suitable individual is identified;
26.7. We therefore reserve the right not to execute the donation if compliance checks are not passed.
27. Fair marketing
27.1. We NEVER discuss, talk about, engage, nor makes any price / value based representations / warranties / promises. As a matter of policy, all marketing around the Radical Penguins is done mindfully and only focused on the perceived artistic quality of the illustrations. We will never engage in unfair, abusive, deceptive marketing and only do fair, clear and not misleading marketing and / or representations;
28.2. We impose that if any owner of a Radical Penguin NFT will ever sell its NFT and / or wises to independently engage in marketing activities, it could do so only if the "fair marketing" principles, as specified herein, are observed, and in any case, in full compliance with the laws and regulations of the territory in which it conducts such marketing activities;
