↑ Back to top4. Description of the Service
IMU operates a creator-first, licensed entertainment infrastructure platform. IMU is not a record label, music publisher, talent agency, content studio, or financial institution. Creators retain ownership of their Content while participating in transparent monetization. The Service consists of the following platforms:
- IMUTV: An interactive, on-demand video streaming and live broadcast platform delivering independent music videos, films, episodic television, animation, short-form content, and live streams through connected-TV applications (Roku, Fire TV, Google TV, Android TV, Apple TV), web, and mobile.
- IMUP3: An interactive, on-demand audio streaming application providing music streaming, user-created playlists and favorites, and podcast hosting through iOS, Android, and web applications.
- IM Collectibles (IMC): A digital collectibles and NFT marketplace built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) where Creators can mint, list, and sell digital art, music collectibles, and other digital assets.
- IMU Merch Store: An e-commerce platform for the sale of physical merchandise, including IMU-branded products and Creator-designed merchandise fulfilled through IMU's fulfillment services.
5. Monetization, Payments & Subscriptions
5.1 Revenue Model
The Service operates a multi-tier monetization model:
- Free with Advertising (AVOD): Users may access certain Content at no charge, supported by advertising.
- Pay-Per-View (TVOD): Users may purchase access to specific Content on a per-item basis.
- Creator Subscriptions (SVOD): Creators may offer subscription-based channels, paywalls, or content access tiers. Subscription payments are processed through the Service and paid to the Creator, less the Platform Fee described in Section 5.2.
- Merchandise Purchases: Users may purchase physical merchandise through the IMU Merch Store.
- Digital Collectible Purchases: Users may purchase NFTs and digital collectibles through IM Collectibles.
5.2 Creator Subscription Platform Fee
For Creator-offered subscriptions, IMU retains a platform fee of five percent (5%) of the gross subscription revenue collected. The remaining ninety-five percent (95%) is remitted to the Creator in accordance with the monthly payout schedule described in Section 5.5. This 5% platform fee covers payment processing, platform hosting, infrastructure costs, and content delivery. IMU reserves the right to modify the platform fee percentage with sixty (60) days' prior written notice to affected Creators.
5.3 Payment Processing
The Service supports the following payment methods:
- Fiat Currency: Processed through Stripe or other authorized payment processors. All fiat transactions are subject to the payment processor's terms of service.
- XRPL/XRP: The Service accepts XRP payments for eligible transactions. XRPL transactions are processed through a non-custodial architecture. IMU does not custody, hold, or control your XRP tokens, wallet, or private keys. You acknowledge that blockchain transactions are irreversible and that IMU bears no responsibility for wallet security, lost private keys, or incorrect wallet addresses.
Dynamic Pricing & XRP Payment Mechanics. When a User selects XRP as a payment method, the USD-denominated price is converted into an XRP equivalent using a real-time dynamic pricing mechanism. All XRP payment processing, dynamic pricing, exchange rate calculations, exchange rate risk allocation, refund mechanics for XRP-paid transactions, transaction settlement, wallet security responsibilities, and all other cryptocurrency-related payment terms are governed by Schedule A: XRP, RLUSD & XFT Cryptocurrency Payment Terms, which is incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Schedule A regarding cryptocurrency payment matters, Schedule A shall control.
5.4 Subscription Billing & Cancellation
Subscription billing and cancellation policies vary by payment method.
(a) General. Creator subscriptions are billed on the schedule set by the Creator (monthly or annually) in U.S. Dollars. Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. No partial refunds are provided for unused subscription time.
(b) Stripe (Fiat) Subscriptions. Subscriptions paid via credit or debit card through Stripe auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled by the subscriber. You may cancel through your account settings at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
(c) XRPL Subscriptions (XRP, RLUSD, XFT). Subscriptions paid via XRPL do NOT auto-renew. XRPL transactions are one-time payments granting access for the selected billing period. The subscriber must manually renew before or after expiry to continue access. IMU sends email reminders at seven (7) days and twenty-four (24) hours before XRPL subscription expiry, and a forty-eight (48) hour post-expiry grace period applies. The full recurring payment mechanics for XRPL subscriptions are governed by Schedule A: XRP, RLUSD & XFT Cryptocurrency Payment Terms, Section 10.
(d) Effect of Creator Plan Changes on Fan Subscriptions. Active fan subscriptions are not terminated when a Creator changes their plan. Subscribers retain access until their current billing period ends. However, subscriber-only features (such as private chat or private streams) may become publicly accessible if a Creator downgrades to a plan that does not support those features. IMU does not issue refunds to fan subscribers affected by a Creator's plan change. One-time content purchases (TVOD) and NFT-gated content entitlements are not affected by Creator plan changes. The full Creator Plan tier framework, including downgrade cascade effects on Creators and Subscribers, is set forth in Section 17 of these Terms.
(e) Tipping. Tips are voluntary, non-refundable, and passed through one hundred percent (100%) to the Creator. Tipping mechanics, including XRPL irreversibility and tax responsibility, are governed by Schedule A, Section 8.
5.5 Creator Payout Schedule
Creator payouts for subscription revenue (less the 5% platform fee) and pay-per-view revenue are processed instantly. Creator payouts involving XRP, RLUSD, or XFT-paid transactions, including payout currency election, revenue calculation basis, fair market value determination, and payout thresholds, are governed by Schedule A: XRP, RLUSD & XFT Cryptocurrency Payment Terms, Section 7.
5.6 Tax Reporting
Creators receiving payments through the Service are responsible for all applicable taxes on their earnings. IMU will issue IRS Form 1099 (or equivalent) to Creators earning six hundred dollars ($600) or more in a calendar year, as required by U.S. law. Creators are responsible for providing accurate tax information (W-9 or W-8BEN for non-U.S. Creators) upon request. The tax treatment of XRP, RLUSD, and XFT transactions, including fair market value determination, 1099 reporting methodology for cryptocurrency payments, buyer capital gains implications, and international tax considerations, is governed by Schedule A: XRP, RLUSD & XFT Cryptocurrency Payment Terms, Section 11.
5.7 Chargebacks & Disputes
If a payment is subject to a chargeback or dispute by a purchaser, IMU reserves the right to deduct the disputed amount from the Creator's pending payout balance. Repeated chargebacks associated with a Creator's content may result in account review or suspension.

9.3 Musician Exception

9.5 FTC Endorsement Disclosures
Live streamers who receive compensation, sponsorship, or free products in connection with their streams must make clear, conspicuous, and unavoidable disclosures (e.g., "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Ad") in compliance with FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). Failure to disclose material connections constitutes a violation of these Terms.
9.6 Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (NCII)
In compliance with the TAKE IT DOWN Act, any live stream broadcasting non-consensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated deepfakes, will be immediately terminated. Victims may report NCII content to legal@imutv.tv and IMU will remove such content within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving a valid report.

↑ Back to top17. Creator Plans
17.1 Plan Tiers
IMU offers four (4) Creator Plan tiers: Hobby (free), Beginner ($60/year or $6/month), Streamer ($100/year or $10/month), and Devoted (custom pricing set by IMU administration). Each tier provides a different combination of on-demand storage, monthly live streaming hours, monetization features (XRPL payment rails, NFT content gating, streaming royalty eligibility), subscriber-only features (private streams, private chat), and support level. Hobby Creators are limited to traditional Stripe-based payments, public content, and tipping; XRPL payment rails, NFT gating, and XFT streaming royalties are available only to Beginner, Streamer, and Devoted Creators. Tipping is available across all plans. Creator Plan subscriptions are billed monthly or annually in U.S. Dollars via Stripe. All Plan fees are non-refundable; no partial refunds are issued for unused subscription time. Stripe-billed Plans auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. If a renewal payment fails after Stripe's automatic retry process, the Plan is automatically downgraded to Hobby and the cascade effects in Section 17.2 apply. Devoted Plans are individually negotiated and may include additional written terms. The complete Creator Plan tier framework, including the full feature matrix and pricing, is incorporated into these Terms by reference and is published on the Service's pricing page.
17.2 Plan Transition Effects
When a Creator changes their Plan tier (whether by voluntary upgrade or downgrade, or by automatic downgrade due to payment failure), the following cascade effects apply:
(a) Downgrade to Hobby. XRPL payment rails are disabled and all paid content reverts to Stripe-only payment; NFT content gating is disabled on all Creator content; the Creator's public profile is hidden from public listings; XRPL tipping is disabled and tips revert to Stripe only; subscriber-only stream and chat locks are removed, making streams and chat publicly accessible; and XFT streaming royalty accrual ceases (already-accrued unpaid XFT remains payable per the XFT Streaming Rewards Program Terms).
(b) Downgrade from Streamer to Beginner. Private chat (subscriber-only chat rooms) is disabled and the Creator's chat room becomes publicly accessible; NFT content gating is disabled on all content (a Streamer-and-above feature only); all other Beginner-tier features remain active.
(c) Upgrades. Features unlocked by the new plan tier become available immediately; however, XRPL payment rails, NFT content gating, and other advanced features are NOT auto-enabled and Creators must opt in via their Dashboard settings to prevent unintended exposure of payment configurations; Creator profile visibility is automatically set to public when upgrading from Hobby.
(d) Effect on Active Fan Subscriptions. Active fan subscriptions are NOT terminated when a Creator changes their Plan; subscribers retain access until their current billing period ends. However, subscriber-only features may become publicly accessible if a Creator downgrades, and IMU does not issue refunds to fan subscribers affected by a Creator's Plan change. One-time content purchases (TVOD) and NFT-gated content entitlements are not affected by Creator Plan changes.
17.3 Storage Add-Ons and Plan Modifications
(a) Storage Add-Ons. Creators may purchase additional storage capacity as yearly add-ons in the following increments: 50 GB ($20/year), 100 GB ($35/year), or 250 GB ($75/year). Storage add-ons are non-refundable, non-auto-renewing one-time payments for a twelve (12) month period. IMU sends an email notification approximately thirty (30) days before a storage add-on approaches expiry. When a storage add-on expires, the corresponding capacity is automatically removed from the Creator's account; if total used storage exceeds the remaining limit, the Creator will be unable to upload new content until storage is freed or a new add-on is purchased (existing hosted content is not deleted). Storage add-ons are portable across plan upgrades and downgrades and stack on top of base allocations. Multiple add-ons may be purchased and stacked, each with its own independent twelve-month expiry.
(b) Subscriber Tier System. Creators on Beginner, Streamer, and Devoted Plans may offer multiple subscription tiers (each, a "Subscriber Tier") to their fans, with differentiated pricing and access levels. Each Subscriber Tier may unlock different combinations of subscriber-only content, private streams, private chat (Streamer+), and other Creator-defined perks. Subscribers retain access only to the content and features associated with the specific Subscriber Tier they purchased. If a Creator modifies or removes a Subscriber Tier, existing subscribers retain their original tier benefits until the end of their current billing period.
(c) Plan Modifications by IMU. IMU reserves the right to modify Creator Plan pricing, features, storage limits, streaming allocations, and other Plan attributes with thirty (30) days' prior written notice. Modifications apply to renewals occurring after the effective date of the change; existing paid Creators are not retroactively charged additional amounts during their current billing period.
(d) Cancellation. Creators may cancel their Plan at any time through their Dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused subscription time.

XRP, RLUSD & XFT Cryptocurrency Payment Terms
Governing all cryptocurrency and digital asset payment transactions across all IMU platforms — Effective Date: April 13, 2026
SA1. Scope and Relationship to Terms of Service
This Schedule A ("Schedule") supplements and is incorporated into the IMU, LLC Terms of Service ("Terms of Service" or "TOS"). This Schedule governs all cryptocurrency and digital asset payment transactions across all IMU platforms, including IMUTV, IMUP3, IM Collectibles, and IMU Merch Store (collectively, the "Service"). In the event of a conflict between this Schedule and the Terms of Service regarding cryptocurrency payment matters, this Schedule shall control.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms of Service.
↑ Back to topSA2. Definitions
- "Accepted Cryptocurrencies" means XRP, RLUSD, and XFT, as described in Section SA3.
- "Dynamic Pricing" means the real-time conversion of a USD-denominated price into a cryptocurrency equivalent at the time of transaction.
- "Exchange Rate Oracle" means the third-party pricing feed or aggregator used by IMU to determine the current exchange rate between USD and an Accepted Cryptocurrency.
- "Fair Market Value" or "FMV" means the USD-equivalent value of a cryptocurrency at a specific point in time, as determined by the Exchange Rate Oracle.
- "Price Quote" means the specific cryptocurrency amount displayed to the User at checkout, calculated via Dynamic Pricing and valid for the Quote Validity Window.
- "Quote Validity Window" means the period during which a Price Quote remains valid, as specified in Section SA4.2.
- "RLUSD" means the USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Ripple Labs on the XRP Ledger, designed to maintain a 1:1 parity with the U.S. Dollar.
- "XFT" means the utility token issued by IMU, LLC on the XRP Ledger, used as a platform engagement reward and accepted as a payment method on the Service.
- "XRP" means the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger.
- "XRPL" means the XRP Ledger, a decentralized, open-source blockchain.
SA3. Accepted Cryptocurrencies
The Service accepts the following cryptocurrencies for eligible transactions:
| Currency | Type | Issuer | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| XRP | Native XRPL asset | N/A (native) | Volatile; subject to Dynamic Pricing; exchange rate fluctuates |
| RLUSD | USD-pegged stablecoin | Ripple Labs | Designed to maintain 1:1 USD parity; treated as USD-equivalent for pricing purposes |
| XFT | Utility token (IOU) | IMU, LLC | Platform engagement reward; value set by IMU for payment purposes; NOT a security |
SA3.1 Not All Payment Methods Available on All Plans
XRPL payment rails (XRP, RLUSD, XFT) are available only to Users transacting with Creators on Beginner, Streamer, or Devoted plans. Hobby-plan Creators may accept fiat (Stripe) payments and 1 XRPL payment option. Tipping via XRPL is available across all plans.
SA3.2 IMU Reserves the Right to Add or Remove Accepted Cryptocurrencies
IMU reserves the right to add or remove Accepted Cryptocurrencies at any time with thirty (30) days' prior written notice.
↑ Back to topSA4. XRP Payment Mechanics
SA4.1 Dynamic Pricing
When a User selects XRP as a payment method, the Service converts the USD-denominated price into an XRP equivalent using a real-time Dynamic Pricing mechanism. The Exchange Rate Oracle sources the current XRP/USD rate from one or more reputable cryptocurrency pricing aggregators. The resulting Price Quote reflects the USD price, the XRP/USD exchange rate, and the calculated XRP amount.
SA4.2 Quote Validity Window
Each Price Quote is valid for a limited period displayed at checkout (the "Quote Validity Window"), typically between sixty (60) and one hundred twenty (120) seconds. If the transaction is not completed within the Quote Validity Window, the Price Quote expires and a new quote must be generated at the then-current exchange rate. IMU is not liable for price changes between an expired quote and a newly generated quote.
SA4.3 Settlement
Upon successful completion of an XRP payment, the XRPL transaction is settled on-chain. The transaction is confirmed when it is included in a validated XRPL ledger. IMU records the XRPL transaction hash, the USD amount, the XRP amount, and the exchange rate at the time of settlement for accounting and tax reporting purposes.
SA4.4 Exchange Rate Risk
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THAT THE VALUE OF XRP IS VOLATILE AND MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY. ONCE A TRANSACTION IS SETTLED ON THE XRPL, THE EXCHANGE RATE RISK PASSES ENTIRELY TO THE RECIPIENT. IMU IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY GAIN OR LOSS IN VALUE BETWEEN THE TIME OF PAYMENT AND ANY SUBSEQUENT CONVERSION TO FIAT CURRENCY.
↑ Back to topSA5. RLUSD Payment Mechanics
SA5.1 USD-Equivalent Pricing
RLUSD is designed to maintain a 1:1 parity with the U.S. Dollar. When a User selects RLUSD as a payment method, the RLUSD amount equals the USD-denominated price (e.g., a $10.00 purchase requires 10.00 RLUSD). No Dynamic Pricing conversion is applied to RLUSD transactions.
SA5.2 Peg Risk Acknowledgment
While RLUSD is designed to maintain a 1:1 USD peg, IMU does not guarantee this peg. In the event that RLUSD deviates materially from its USD peg (defined as a deviation exceeding 2% from $1.00 USD), IMU reserves the right to: (a) temporarily suspend acceptance of RLUSD payments; (b) apply Dynamic Pricing to RLUSD transactions until the peg is restored; or (c) permanently remove RLUSD as an Accepted Cryptocurrency.
SA5.3 Settlement
RLUSD transactions are settled on-chain on the XRPL in the same manner as XRP transactions. The transaction hash, USD amount, and RLUSD amount are recorded for compliance purposes.
↑ Back to topSA6. XFT Payment Mechanics
SA6.1 XFT as Payment Method
XFT may be used to pay for eligible transactions on the Service where XRPL payment rails are available. The XFT value for payment purposes is determined by IMU at its sole discretion based on the then-current platform valuation of XFT.
SA6.2 XFT Valuation
IMU sets the XFT-to-USD conversion rate used for payment transactions. This rate is displayed at checkout and may differ from any rate available on third-party exchanges or decentralized trading platforms. IMU makes no representation that its internal XFT valuation reflects any external market value.
SA6.3 XFT Is Not a Security
XFT IS A UTILITY TOKEN DISTRIBUTED AS A PLATFORM ENGAGEMENT REWARD. XFT IS NOT A SECURITY, INVESTMENT CONTRACT, COMMODITY, SWAP, OR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AS DEFINED UNDER U.S. FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS, INCLUDING THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, OR THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940. IMU DOES NOT OFFER, SOLICIT, OR PROMOTE XFT AS AN INVESTMENT. YOU SHOULD NOT ACQUIRE, HOLD, OR USE XFT WITH ANY EXPECTATION OF PROFIT, INVESTMENT RETURN, CAPITAL APPRECIATION, OR INCOME GENERATION.
SA6.4 No Guaranteed Value
IMU makes no representations or guarantees regarding the monetary value, market demand, exchange rate, liquidity, or future utility of XFT. XFT may have zero monetary value. The value of XFT is entirely at IMU's discretion for platform payment purposes and is inherently speculative in any external context.
↑ Back to topSA7. Creator Payouts
SA7.1 Payout Currency Election
Creators receiving revenue from cryptocurrency-paid transactions may elect to receive payouts in: (a) USD, deposited via their connected Stripe account; or (b) the original cryptocurrency (XRP, RLUSD, or XFT), deposited to their connected XRPL wallet address. The payout currency election is made in the Creator's Dashboard settings and may be changed at any time. Changes apply to future payouts only.
SA7.2 Revenue Calculation Basis
For XRP-paid transactions, Creator revenue is calculated based on the USD value at the time of the original transaction (using the exchange rate locked at settlement), less the applicable Platform Fee. For RLUSD-paid transactions, the USD value equals the RLUSD amount. For XFT-paid transactions, the USD value is based on IMU's internal XFT valuation rate at the time of settlement.
SA7.3 Payout Frequency
Creator payouts for subscription revenue (less the 5% Platform Fee per Section 5.2 of the TOS) and pay-per-view revenue are processed in accordance with the payout schedule described in TOS Section 5.5. Cryptocurrency payouts are processed via XRPL transactions to the Creator's connected wallet address.
SA7.4 Payout Threshold
Payouts are subject to a minimum payout threshold of one U.S. dollar ($1.00) or the cryptocurrency equivalent. Balances below the threshold accumulate until the threshold is met.
↑ Back to topSA8. Tipping
SA8.1 Tip Pass-Through
Tips sent to Creators via XRPL payment rails (XRP, RLUSD, or XFT) are passed through one hundred percent (100%) to the Creator. IMU does not retain any percentage, commission, or fee on tips. Creators are solely responsible for any fees charged by their connected Stripe account for fiat-denominated tips.
SA8.2 Non-Refundable
All tips are voluntary, non-refundable, and non-reversible. For XRPL-based tips, blockchain irreversibility applies โ once a tip transaction is confirmed on the XRPL, it cannot be reversed, cancelled, or modified by IMU.
SA8.3 Tax Responsibility
Tip recipients are solely responsible for reporting all tip income for tax purposes. IMU will include tip income in IRS Form 1099 reporting if the Creator's total earnings (including tips) meet the $600 annual reporting threshold.
SA8.4 Prohibited Conduct
The following tipping behaviors are prohibited and may result in account suspension: (a) tip manipulation or artificial tip inflation using multiple accounts; (b) coerced tipping or tip-for-favors schemes; (c) using tips to circumvent Platform Fees or subscription pricing; (d) money laundering or structuring transactions through tipping.
↑ Back to topSA9. Refund Mechanics for Cryptocurrency Transactions
SA9.1 General Rule
Due to the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions, cryptocurrency payments are generally non-refundable. Refunds for cryptocurrency-paid transactions are available only in the limited circumstances described below.
SA9.2 XRP Refunds
If a refund is approved for an XRP-paid transaction (e.g., due to a platform technical error as described in TOS Section 29), the refund will be issued in the USD-equivalent value at the time of the original transaction, deposited via the User's Stripe payment method (if available) or as a platform credit. IMU does not issue refunds in XRP. This protects both parties from exchange rate fluctuation between the transaction date and refund date.
SA9.3 RLUSD Refunds
Refunds for RLUSD-paid transactions may be issued in RLUSD to the User's original XRPL wallet address, or in USD via Stripe, at IMU's discretion. Because RLUSD is designed to maintain a 1:1 USD peg, the refund amount equals the original payment amount in either currency.
SA9.4 XFT Refunds
XFT used as payment is non-refundable. If a refund is approved for an XFT-paid transaction, IMU will issue the refund as a platform credit valued at the original XFT amount, redeemable for future transactions on the Service.
SA9.5 IM Collectibles
All Digital Collectible (NFT) purchases are final and non-refundable regardless of payment method, as set forth in the IM Collectibles Terms of Sale.
↑ Back to topSA10. Recurring Payments (XRPL Subscriptions)
SA10.1 No Auto-Renewal on XRPL
Fan subscriptions and Creator subscriptions paid via XRPL (XRP, RLUSD, or XFT) do NOT auto-renew. XRPL transactions are one-time payments granting access for the selected billing period (monthly or annually). The subscriber must manually renew before or after expiry to continue access.
SA10.2 Renewal Reminders
IMU will send email reminders at seven (7) days and twenty-four (24) hours before XRPL subscription expiry. Failure to receive a reminder does not extend the subscription or relieve the obligation to renew.
SA10.3 Post-Expiry Grace Period
After an XRPL subscription expires, the subscriber has a forty-eight (48) hour grace period during which subscriber-only content remains accessible. If renewal is not completed within the grace period, access to subscriber-only content, streams, and chat is revoked until renewal.
SA10.4 Dynamic Re-Pricing at Renewal
For XRP-paid subscriptions, the renewal price is recalculated at the then-current XRP/USD exchange rate at the time of renewal. The subscriber will see the updated XRP amount at checkout. RLUSD subscriptions renew at the same RLUSD amount (equal to USD price). XFT subscriptions renew at IMU's then-current XFT valuation rate.
SA10.5 Fiat (Stripe) Subscriptions Auto-Renew
For clarity, fan subscriptions paid via Stripe (credit/debit card) auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled by the subscriber through their account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period per TOS Section 5.4.
↑ Back to topSA11. Tax Treatment
SA11.1 General Tax Responsibility
You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling all tax obligations arising from your use of cryptocurrency on the Service, including but not limited to: income tax on earnings received in cryptocurrency, capital gains tax on the disposition of cryptocurrency, sales tax or value-added tax where applicable, and any reporting obligations under the laws of your jurisdiction.
SA11.2 1099 Reporting
IMU will issue IRS Form 1099 (or equivalent) to U.S. Creators and Users receiving cryptocurrency payments through the Service who earn six hundred dollars ($600) or more in a calendar year, as required by U.S. law. For 1099 reporting purposes, the USD value of cryptocurrency payments is determined at the Fair Market Value at the time of settlement, as recorded by IMU's Exchange Rate Oracle.
SA11.3 Fair Market Value Determination
For tax reporting purposes, the FMV of XRP is determined using the exchange rate from IMU's Exchange Rate Oracle at the time of transaction settlement. The FMV of RLUSD is its USD face value ($1.00 per RLUSD). The FMV of XFT is determined using IMU's internal valuation rate at the time of distribution or transaction.
SA11.4 Buyer Capital Gains
You acknowledge that using cryptocurrency (XRP, RLUSD, or XFT) to make a purchase on the Service may constitute a taxable event under U.S. tax law, potentially triggering capital gains or losses based on the difference between your cost basis and the FMV at the time of payment. IMU does not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional.
SA11.5 W-9/W-8BEN
Creators and Users receiving cryptocurrency payments are required to provide accurate tax identification information (W-9 for U.S. persons, W-8BEN for non-U.S. persons) upon request. Failure to provide tax documentation may result in withholding, payout suspension, or account restriction.
↑ Back to topSA12. Wallet Security and Non-Custodial Architecture
SA12.1 Non-Custodial
IMU does not custody, hold, or control your XRP, RLUSD, XFT, or any other digital assets. IMU does not custody your private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials. You connect your own XRPL-compatible wallet (e.g., Xaman) to the Service to complete transactions. IMU is not a digital asset exchange, broker, wallet provider, or custodian.
SA12.2 User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for: (a) the security of your XRPL wallet, private keys, and seed phrases; (b) ensuring you send payments to the correct wallet address; (c) maintaining a sufficient XRP reserve in your wallet to cover XRPL network fees; and (d) maintaining trustlines for RLUSD and/or XFT if you wish to receive direct Payment deliveries of those tokens.
SA12.3 Lost Access
IMU cannot recover lost or stolen tokens, restore access to compromised wallets, or reverse transactions sent to incorrect addresses. If you lose access to your wallet, any cryptocurrency or digital assets in that wallet are permanently inaccessible. IMU bears no responsibility for wallet compromise, lost private keys, or incorrect wallet addresses.
SA12.4 Network Fees
All XRPL transactions are subject to network fees (sometimes called "transaction fees" or "gas fees") determined by the XRPL network protocol, not set or collected by IMU. These fees are typically minimal (fractions of an XRP) but are the User's responsibility.
↑ Back to topSA13. Modifications
IMU reserves the right to modify this Schedule at any time. We will provide at least thirty (30) days' notice of material changes by updating this Schedule on the Service and, where possible, by email notification. Your continued use of cryptocurrency payment features after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Transactions completed before the effective date of any change remain governed by the Schedule in effect at the time of the transaction.

IM Collectibles Terms of Sale
Governing all purchases, sales, minting, and transfers of Digital Collectibles on the IM Collectibles marketplace at www.imcollectibles.io — Effective Date: April 13, 2026
A1. Introduction & Scope

A3. Nature of Digital Collectibles
A3.1 What You Are Purchasing
When you purchase a Digital Collectible on IM Collectibles, you are acquiring:
- A blockchain token: A unique, cryptographically verified entry on the XRP Ledger that represents your ownership of that specific Digital Collectible. This token is recorded on a public, decentralized, immutable ledger.
- A license to the Associated Content: A limited license to use the digital artwork, music, or other media linked to the token, subject to the terms described in Section A6 (License Granted to Buyers).
You are NOT acquiring:
- Copyright ownership in the Associated Content
- Any intellectual property rights beyond the limited license granted
- The right to commercialize, reproduce for sale, or create derivative works (unless a Commercial License is explicitly included)
- Trademark rights or any right to use the Creator's brand, name, or likeness for commercial purposes
- Any ownership interest, equity, profit share, revenue share, dividend, governance right, or voting right in IMU, LLC, the Creator's business, or any other entity
- Any right to future deliverables, access, or utility beyond what is expressly stated in the Listing at the time of purchase
A3.2 Digital Collectibles Are NOT Securities
DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES SOLD ON IM COLLECTIBLES ARE CONSUMER PRODUCTS PURCHASED FOR PERSONAL ENJOYMENT, USE, AND COLLECTION. THEY ARE EXPRESSLY NOT SECURITIES, INVESTMENT CONTRACTS, COMMODITIES, SWAPS, OR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AS DEFINED UNDER U.S. FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS, INCLUDING THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, OR THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940.
IMU does not offer, solicit, promote, or sell Digital Collectibles as investments. IMU makes no representations regarding the future value, appreciation potential, scarcity premium, or market demand of any Digital Collectible. You should NOT purchase Digital Collectibles with any expectation of profit, investment return, capital appreciation, or income generation.
The value of Digital Collectibles is inherently subjective, speculative, and volatile. Digital Collectibles may lose all value. Past sales prices are not indicative of future value. IMU is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, exchange, or alternative trading system. The Marketplace is not a securities exchange and does not facilitate securities transactions.
A3.3 No Guaranteed Utility or Future Benefits
Unless explicitly stated in the Listing at the time of purchase, Digital Collectibles do not include:
- Access to future events, concerts, or experiences
- Rights to future airdrops, token distributions, or additional NFTs
- Membership in any DAO, club, or organization
- Physical merchandise or redeemable physical goods
- Ongoing access to digital content beyond the Associated Content
If a Listing describes specific utility (e.g., "includes backstage pass to [Event]"), that utility is the sole responsibility of the Creator. IMU does not guarantee fulfillment of Creator-promised utility and is not liable for any failure to deliver.
↑ Back to topA4. How Transactions Work
A4.1 Marketplace Architecture
IM Collectibles operates as a non-custodial marketplace. This means:
- Your wallet, your keys: IMU does not hold, custody, or control your XRP, digital assets, or private keys at any time. You connect your own XRPL-compatible wallet to the Marketplace to complete transactions.
- On-chain settlement: All purchases, sales, and transfers of Digital Collectibles are settled directly on the XRP Ledger. IMU facilitates the Marketplace interface but does not serve as an intermediary, escrow agent, or custodian for any transaction.
- Batch Transaction and associated offers: Platform Fees and Creator Royalties are programmatically enforced through on-chain mechanisms where supported by the XRPL protocol.
A4.2 Primary Sales (Creator to Buyer)
When a Creator lists a Digital Collectible for sale and a Buyer purchases it:
- Step 1 โ Listing: The Creator mints the NFT on the XRPL and creates a sell offer on the Marketplace at a fixed price or sets up an auction.
- Step 2 โ Purchase: The Buyer connects their XRPL wallet, reviews the Listing (price, Associated Content, license terms, Creator Royalty percentage), and submits a buy offer.
- Step 3 โ Settlement: The XRPL matches the sell and buy offers. The NFT transfers to the Buyer's wallet, and the payment (in XRP) is distributed: the Creator receives the sale price minus the Platform Fee and any applicable network fees.
- Step 4 โ Confirmation: The Marketplace displays a transaction confirmation with the XRPL transaction hash, which can be independently verified on any XRPL blockchain explorer.
A4.3 Secondary Sales (Resales Between Collectors)
After the Primary Sale, the Buyer (now a Collector) may resell the Digital Collectible on the IM Collectibles Marketplace:
- Listing: The Collector creates a new sell offer at their chosen price.
- Creator Royalty: On each Secondary Sale completed through the IM Collectibles Marketplace, the original Creator receives a royalty payment equal to the percentage set at minting (typically 5-10%). This royalty is automatically deducted from the sale proceeds.
- Platform Fee: IMU's Platform Fee is also deducted from Secondary Sales completed on the Marketplace.
- External Sales: If a Collector transfers or sells the NFT outside of the IM Collectibles Marketplace (on another XRPL marketplace or through a direct wallet-to-wallet transfer), Creator Royalties and Platform Fees may not be enforceable, as enforcement depends on the receiving marketplace honoring on-chain royalty standards.
A4.4 Auctions
The Marketplace may support auction-format sales for Digital Collectibles:
- Reserve Price: Creators may set a minimum reserve price below which the NFT will not sell.
- Bidding: Bids are placed through the Marketplace interface. By placing a bid, you are making a binding offer to purchase the Digital Collectible at that price if your bid is the winning bid.
- Winning Bid: When the auction ends, the highest bid meeting or exceeding the reserve price wins. Settlement follows the same on-chain process as fixed-price sales.
- Bid Cancellation: Bids may be cancelled before the auction ends, subject to any auction-specific rules displayed at the time of bidding. Once the auction closes, the winning bid is final.

A Commercial License may permit uses such as merchandise production, inclusion in commercial projects, or derivative works, subject to the conditions stated.
A6.3 License Follows the Token
The license to the Associated Content is tied to ownership of the Digital Collectible token.

- Ownership: The Creator is the sole owner of the Associated Content, including all copyrights, or has obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to mint and sell the content as an NFT.
- No Infringement: The Associated Content does not infringe upon the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, right of publicity, right of privacy, or any other proprietary right of any third party.
- Original Work: The Associated Content is original work created by the Creator, except where AI assistance is disclosed and where third-party elements are properly licensed.
- Accurate Description: The Listing description, metadata, edition size, and any described utility are accurate and not misleading.
- AI Disclosure: If the Associated Content was created using AI tools (image generators, music generators, voice synthesis, etc.), this has been disclosed in the Listing.
- Legal Compliance: The Digital Collectible and its sale comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
A7.2 Creator Indemnification
Creators agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless IMU, its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) any breach of the Creator's representations and warranties; (b) any claim that the Associated Content infringes a third party's intellectual property rights; (c) any failure to deliver Creator-promised utility; or (d) any dispute between the Creator and a Buyer regarding the Digital Collectible.
A7.3 Content Removal
If a Digital Collectible's Associated Content is determined to violate these Sale Terms, the Terms of Service, or the Community Guidelines, or if a valid DMCA takedown notice is received, IMU may:
- Remove the Listing from the Marketplace
- Disable display of the Associated Content on the Marketplace
- Suspend or terminate the Creator's account
A8. Buyer Responsibilities & Acknowledgments
By purchasing a Digital Collectible on IM Collectibles, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
A8.1 Due Diligence
- You are solely responsible for evaluating the Digital Collectible, the Associated Content, the Creator, and the terms of the Listing before purchasing.
- IMU does not verify the accuracy of Creators' claims regarding the Associated Content, its provenance, or any promised utility.
- IMU does not provide appraisals, valuations, or investment advice regarding Digital Collectibles.
- You should conduct your own research and, if necessary, consult with legal and financial advisors before making purchases.
A8.2 Wallet Security
- You are solely responsible for the security of your XRPL wallet, private keys, and seed phrases.
- IMU cannot recover lost or stolen tokens resulting from compromised wallets, phishing attacks, or lost private keys.
- If your wallet is compromised, notify IMU immediately at legal@imutv.tv so we can flag the affected tokens in our system, but we cannot reverse on-chain transfers.
A8.3 Tax Obligations
You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling your tax obligations arising from the purchase, sale, or exchange of Digital Collectibles. This may include capital gains tax, sales tax, value-added tax, or other taxes depending on your jurisdiction. IMU does not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional regarding your specific situation.
A8.4 Risk Acknowledgment
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PURCHASING DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES:
- Market Risk: The value of Digital Collectibles is highly volatile and speculative. You may lose some or all of the value of your purchase. Past prices are not indicative of future value.
- Liquidity Risk: There may be no secondary market or buyer demand for your Digital Collectible. You may be unable to resell it at any price.
- Technology Risk: The XRPL, blockchain technology, and smart contracts may experience bugs, vulnerabilities, forks, or protocol changes that could affect your Digital Collectible.
- Regulatory Risk: The legal and regulatory landscape for NFTs and digital assets is evolving. Future laws or regulations may restrict, prohibit, or impose additional requirements on the purchase, sale, or ownership of Digital Collectibles.
- Content Hosting Risk: Associated Content hosted by IMU (off-chain) may become unavailable if IMU ceases operations or if the content is removed due to a legal dispute. The on-chain token would persist, but the visual/audio content may not be retrievable.
- Interoperability Risk: Your Digital Collectible may not be displayable or tradeable on all XRPL-compatible platforms or wallets. Creator Royalties may not be enforceable on external marketplaces.
A9. Refund & Cancellation Policy
A9.1 All Sales Are Final
DUE TO THE NATURE OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, ALL DIGITAL COLLECTIBLE SALES ON IM COLLECTIBLES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS, RETURNS, EXCHANGES, OR CANCELLATIONS ARE AVAILABLE ONCE A TRANSACTION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED ON THE XRP LEDGER.
This policy exists because:
- Blockchain transactions are irreversible by design. Once confirmed on the XRPL, neither IMU nor any third party can reverse the transaction.
- IMU operates a non-custodial marketplace. At no point does IMU hold or control the funds or tokens involved in a transaction.
- The transfer of the NFT and the payment occur simultaneously and atomically on-chain. There is no intermediate state where a reversal is possible.
A9.2 Limited Exceptions
In the following narrow circumstances, IMU may provide marketplace-level remedies (but cannot reverse on-chain transactions):
- Fraudulent Listing: If a Creator is determined to have engaged in fraud (e.g., minting stolen artwork, misrepresenting the Associated Content, or operating a counterfeit collection), IMU may remove the Listing, ban the Creator, and cooperate with Buyers in pursuing claims against the Creator. IMU is not responsible for refunding the purchase price in cases of Creator fraud.
- Technical Failure: If a technical failure on the IMU platform (not the XRPL network) causes a transaction to execute incorrectly (e.g., wrong price charged due to a platform bug), IMU will investigate and may issue a platform credit or coordinate a corrective transaction. This does not apply to XRPL network issues, gas fee spikes, or user error (e.g., sending to the wrong wallet).
- Duplicate Charge: If you are charged twice for the same transaction due to a platform error, IMU will refund the duplicate charge.
A9.3 Chargebacks (Fiat On-Ramp)
If IM Collectibles supports fiat currency purchases (USD via credit card) through an on-ramp provider, initiating a fraudulent chargeback after receiving a Digital Collectible constitutes a violation of these Sale Terms and may result in account termination, legal action, and reporting to fraud prevention databases. Legitimate chargebacks for unauthorized transactions are handled in accordance with the payment processor's policies.
↑ Back to topA10. Prohibited Marketplace Activities
The following activities are prohibited on the IM Collectibles Marketplace and may result in immediate account termination:
A10.1 Intellectual Property Violations

- Minting NFTs incorporating copyrighted characters, logos, or other IP without a license from the rights holder
A10.2 Market Manipulation
- Wash Trading: Buying your own NFTs (through alternate wallets or coordinated accounts) to create the appearance of market activity or artificially inflate the sale history or floor price of a collection.
- Shill Bidding: Placing bids on your own NFTs (or having collaborators bid) to drive up auction prices.
- Pump and Dump: Coordinating the artificial inflation of a collection's price through misleading promotion, then selling at the inflated price.
- Front-Running: Exploiting advance knowledge of upcoming Listings or marketplace changes to gain an unfair trading advantage.
- Insider Information: Using non-public information about Creator drops, platform features, or marketplace changes to trade ahead of public disclosure.
A10.3 Fraud & Deception
- Creating counterfeit or replica Digital Collectibles that impersonate established collections or artists
- Misrepresenting the Associated Content, edition size, rarity, or provenance

↑ Back to topA11. Copyright Disputes & DMCA for NFTs
A11.1 DMCA Takedowns
If you believe a Digital Collectible on IM Collectibles infringes your copyright, you may file a DMCA takedown notice with our Copyright Agent at legal@imutv.tv. Upon receipt of a valid takedown notice, IMU will:
- Remove the infringing Listing from the Marketplace
- Disable display of the Associated Content on the Marketplace interface
- Notify the Creator of the takedown
A11.2 Counter-Notifications
Creators who believe their content was removed in error may file a counter-notification as described in the Terms of Service (Section 8.3). The standard DMCA counter-notification process applies.
A11.3 Repeat Infringer Policy
Creators who are the subject of three (3) or more valid DMCA takedown notices will have their accounts permanently terminated and will be permanently banned from the IM Collectibles Marketplace.
A11.4 Rights Disputes Between Creators
When a copyright ownership dispute arises between Creators regarding a Digital Collectible, IMU will disable the Listing, and any associated revenue will be held pending resolution. IMU is not an arbiter of intellectual property disputes and encourages the parties to resolve disputes through mutual agreement, submission of copyright registration documentation, or court order.
↑ Back to topA12. AML/KYC & Sanctions Compliance
A12.1 Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
IMU implements the following measures to prevent the use of IM Collectibles for money laundering and illicit finance:
- Creator Identity Verification: Creators who mint and sell Digital Collectibles may be required to complete identity verification (KYC) before listing. Verification may include government-issued ID, proof of address, and tax identification.
- Transaction Monitoring: IMU monitors marketplace transactions for anomalous patterns, including unusually large purchases, rapid resale activity, and transactions with wallets flagged for suspicious activity.
- Transaction Logging: All marketplace transactions are logged (with XRPL transaction hashes) for audit and compliance purposes.
- Suspicious Activity Reporting: If IMU identifies transactions that it reasonably believes may involve money laundering, fraud, or other illegal activity, IMU may report such transactions to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) or other appropriate authorities.
A12.2 Know Your Customer (KYC)
IMU reserves the right to require identity verification for:
- All Creators before their first Listing
- Buyers conducting transactions exceeding a specified dollar threshold (as determined by IMU)
- Any User when IMU has reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent, illegal, or sanctioned activity
Failure to complete requested KYC verification will result in: suspension of listing privileges (for Creators), restriction of purchasing capabilities (for Buyers), or account suspension until verification is completed.
A12.3 OFAC Sanctions Screening
IMU screens marketplace participants against the following U.S. government sanctions lists:
- OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List
- OFAC Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI) List
- OFAC Consolidated Sanctions List
Users located in, or nationals or residents of, comprehensively sanctioned countries (currently including Cuba, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine) are prohibited from using the Marketplace. IMU may implement IP-based geographic restrictions and wallet screening to enforce these prohibitions.
A13. Platform Role & Limitations
A13.1 IMU as Marketplace Operator
IMU operates the IM Collectibles Marketplace as a technology platform that facilitates transactions between Creators and Buyers. IMU is NOT:
- A party to any transaction between a Creator and a Buyer
- A custodian, escrow agent, or fiduciary for any party
- A broker-dealer, investment adviser, or financial institution
- A guarantor of any Digital Collectible's value, authenticity, or quality
- A guarantor of any Creator-promised utility, access, or future benefits
A13.2 No Endorsement
The listing of a Digital Collectible on the Marketplace does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or approval by IMU of the Creator, the Associated Content, or the transaction. IMU's content review process verifies compliance with our policies, but does not constitute verification of artistic merit, market value, copyright ownership, or factual accuracy of Listing descriptions.
A13.3 Platform Availability
IMU does not guarantee that the Marketplace will be available at all times. The Marketplace may be subject to scheduled maintenance, unscheduled outages, or temporary suspension due to technical issues, security incidents, or regulatory requirements. IMU is not liable for any losses resulting from Marketplace downtime.
A13.4 First-Party Collections (Protectors of IMU)
IMU mints, lists, and sells certain Digital Collectibles directly through the Marketplace, including the Guardians of the Frequencies, Protectors of the Frequencies, Protectors of the Ledger, Protectors of Las Vegas, Firepit Protectors, Special Edition Protectors, and other IMU-branded collections (collectively, the "First-Party Collections" or "Protectors of IMU"). For First-Party Collection transactions, IMU acts as both the Marketplace operator and the Creator/Seller. The following provisions apply specifically to First-Party Collections:
(a) Dual Role Acknowledgment. The platform-neutrality limitations of Section A13.1 (which state that IMU is not a party to transactions between Creators and Buyers) do NOT apply to First-Party Collection transactions. For First-Party Collections, IMU is a direct party to the transaction as the Seller.
(b) Creator Warranties Made by IMU. The Creator representations and warranties set forth in Section A7.1 (Ownership, No Infringement, Original Work, Accurate Description, AI Disclosure, Legal Compliance) are made by IMU directly with respect to First-Party Collections.
(c) Creator Indemnification Inapplicable. The Creator indemnification provisions of Section A7.2 do not apply to First-Party Collection transactions, since there is no separate Creator to indemnify IMU.
(d) Disclaimer Scope. Notwithstanding the dual-role acknowledgment in this Section A13.4, the disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth in Section A14 (Limitation of Liability & Disclaimers), including the "AS IS" provision, the disclaimer of warranties of title and merchantability, the disclaimer of any guarantee of value or future utility, the buyer's assumption of risk, and the aggregate liability cap, continue to apply to First-Party Collection transactions to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) Securities and Investment Disclaimer Reaffirmed. First-Party Collections, like all Digital Collectibles on the Marketplace, are NOT securities, investment contracts, or financial instruments as set forth in Section A3.2. Holding a First-Party Collection NFT does not create any ownership interest, equity stake, profit share, governance right, or membership interest in IMU, LLC. Promotional rewards associated with First-Party Collections (including Frequency Fountain rewards, Burn 2 Earn eligibility, and any future Redeem distributions) are discretionary platform incentives, not dividends, yield, or investment returns, and are subject to the terms of the IM Collectibles Feature Addendum.
(f) DMCA Counter-Notification Process. For First-Party Collections, the DMCA counter-notification process described in Section A11.2 of these Sale Terms is initiated by IMU as the Creator/rights holder.

A14.3 Buyer's Assumption of Risk
You expressly assume all risks associated with purchasing, owning, and transacting in Digital Collectibles, including all risks described in Section A8.4. You agree that IMU shall not be liable for any losses arising from market volatility, technology failures, regulatory changes, Creator misconduct, or any other risks inherent in blockchain-based digital assets.
↑ Back to topA15. Dispute Resolution
A15.1 Creator-Buyer Disputes
Disputes between Creators and Buyers regarding Digital Collectibles (including disputes about the quality, accuracy, or utility of the Associated Content) are the responsibility of the parties involved. IMU is not a party to Creator-Buyer transactions and does not mediate commercial disputes. However, if a dispute involves a potential violation of these Sale Terms or the Terms of Service (e.g., fraudulent Listing, IP infringement), IMU will investigate and take appropriate enforcement action.
A15.2 Disputes with IMU
Any dispute between you and IMU arising out of or relating to these Sale Terms or the Marketplace shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the IMU Terms of Service, including the binding arbitration clause and class action waiver (Terms of Service, Section 34). To recap:

- Binding Arbitration: Unresolved disputes are subject to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in the State of Florida.
- Class Action Waiver: You and IMU agree to bring claims only in individual capacity, not as part of any class or representative action.
- Exception: Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement.
A16. Governing Law
These Sale Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Legal proceedings not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in such courts.
↑ Back to topA17. Modifications to These Sale Terms
IMU reserves the right to modify these Sale Terms at any time. We will provide at least thirty (30) days' notice of material changes by posting the updated Sale Terms on the Marketplace and, where possible, by email notification. Your continued use of the Marketplace after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Transactions completed before the effective date of any change remain governed by the Sale Terms in effect at the time of the transaction.
↑ Back to topA18. Account Termination & Marketplace Removal
A18.1 Termination by IMU
IMU may suspend or permanently terminate your access to the IM Collectibles Marketplace for violation of these Sale Terms, the Terms of Service, or the Community Guidelines. Upon termination:
- Your ability to list, purchase, bid on, and browse Digital Collectibles on the Marketplace will be disabled.

- Digital Collectibles already in your XRPL wallet will remain in your wallet (IMU cannot remove on-chain tokens).
- Any pending Platform Fee payments or Creator Royalty distributions may be forfeited.
- You retain the ability to interact with your NFTs through other XRPL-compatible interfaces, subject to any legal restrictions.
A18.2 Voluntary Account Deletion
If you delete your IMU account, your Listings will be removed from the Marketplace. Digital Collectibles in your wallet remain yours. The association between your IMU account and your wallet address will be removed from our systems, but on-chain transaction history is permanent and immutable.

C2.2 No Securities, No Investment Contract
NONE OF THE FEATURES, INCLUDING ANY REWARDS, POINTS, TOKENS, OR NFTS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THEM, CONSTITUTE SECURITIES, INVESTMENT CONTRACTS, COMMODITIES, SWAPS, OR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS UNDER U.S. FEDERAL OR STATE LAW. PARTICIPATION IN ANY FEATURE DOES NOT CREATE AN INVESTMENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND IMU. YOU SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY FEATURE WITH AN EXPECTATION OF PROFIT, INVESTMENT RETURN, OR INCOME GENERATION.

C2.4 Tax Responsibility

↑ Back to topC3. Burn 2 Earn
"Burn 2 Earn" is a promotional program that allows holders of qualifying Protector NFTs to permanently destroy ("burn") ten (10) qualifying NFTs in exchange for a custom 1-of-1 Frequency Firepit Protector NFT ("Firepit Protector") with Guardian-tier reward eligibility.
C3.1 Eligible NFTs
Only the following IMU first-party NFT collections are eligible for Burn 2 Earn: Protectors of the Frequencies and Protectors of the Ledger. Other NFT collections (including Guardians of the Frequencies, third-party Creator NFTs, and Digital Collectibles) are NOT eligible. Eligibility is determined by IMU and may change at IMU's discretion.
C3.2 Burn Process
C3.2.1 Selection. The User selects ten (10) eligible NFTs from their connected XRPL wallet for burning. The selection is made through the Burn 2 Earn interface at www.imcollectibles.io/burn-to-earn/.
C3.2.2 Design Submission. The User submits a design request for their custom Firepit Protector, including: a 200-character maximum design description, background selection, optional reference image (5MB maximum), an XRPL wallet address, an X (Twitter) handle, and an email address.
C3.2.3 Design Review. IMU reviews submitted designs at its sole discretion. IMU reserves the right to approve, reject, or request modifications to any design submission for any reason, including but not limited to: violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, infringement of third-party intellectual property, technical infeasibility, or inconsistency with the Protectors brand aesthetic.
C3.2.4 Burn Confirmation. Upon design approval, the User is prompted to sign the burn transactions through their connected XRPL wallet. The User must explicitly confirm each burn transaction.
C3.2.5 Firepit Protector Mint. Upon successful burning of all ten (10) NFTs, IMU will mint and deliver the custom Firepit Protector NFT to the User's connected XRPL wallet within thirty (30) calendar days of design approval and burn confirmation. Delivery timing may be affected by XRPL network conditions, design complexity, or operational factors.
C3.3 Design Rejection
If a User's design submission is rejected, the User may submit a revised design or a different design at no additional cost. NO BURNS OCCUR until a design has been approved. If a User chooses not to submit a revised design after rejection, no burns occur and no Firepit Protector is minted.
C3.4 Guardian-Tier Reward Eligibility
Firepit Protectors are minted with Guardian-tier reward eligibility, meaning they qualify for the same Frequency Fountain reward rate as Guardians of the Frequencies NFTs (see Section C4 below). Guardian-tier eligibility is encoded in the Firepit Protector's metadata at minting and persists through subsequent transfers, except as IMU may modify in accordance with Section C2.1.
C3.5 License and IP
C3.5.1 The license to the Associated Content of each burned NFT terminates upon burning. The Firepit Protector is a new digital asset with its own license terms as set forth in the IM Collectibles Terms of Sale, Section A6.
C3.5.2 Custom design elements submitted by the User and incorporated into the Firepit Protector remain subject to IMU's standard NFT license framework. By submitting a design, the User grants IMU a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the design in connection with the minted Firepit Protector and IMU's promotional materials. The User represents and warrants that any submitted design or reference image does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights.
C3.6 No Refunds
Burn 2 Earn participation is non-refundable. Burned NFTs cannot be restored under any circumstances. If the Firepit Protector cannot be delivered due to a technical failure on IMU's platform (not due to XRPL network issues, user wallet issues, or design rejection), IMU's sole obligation is to attempt redelivery or, at its discretion, mint a substitute Firepit Protector with equivalent Guardian-tier eligibility.
↑ Back to topC4. Frequency Fountain
"Frequency Fountain" is a daily XFT distribution program for holders of qualifying IMU NFTs and XFT tokens. Frequency Fountain rewards are claimable every twenty-four (24) hours based on holdings recorded at the time of each user's claim.
C4.1 Eligible Holdings
C4.1.1 Qualifying NFTs. The following IMU first-party NFT collections qualify for Frequency Fountain rewards: Guardians of the Frequencies, Protectors of the Frequencies, Protectors of the Ledger, Protectors of Las Vegas, Firepit Protectors (minted via Burn 2 Earn), and Special Edition Protectors. Reward rates may vary by collection, with Guardian-tier collections (Guardians of the Frequencies and Firepit Protectors) typically receiving higher per-NFT rates than Protector-tier collections.
C4.1.2 Qualifying XFT. Holders of XFT tokens in their connected XRPL wallet at the time of the user's claim also qualify for Frequency Fountain rewards based on their XFT balance.
C4.1.3 Wallet Connection Required. To receive Frequency Fountain rewards, the User must have an XRPL wallet connected to their IMU account, and the wallet must hold the qualifying NFTs and/or XFT tokens at the time of the users claim.

IMU may modify, reduce, or eliminate Frequency Fountain rewards at any time, and Users have no contractual right to continued distributions.
YOU SHOULD NOT ACQUIRE IMU NFTS OR XFT TOKENS WITH AN EXPECTATION OF EARNING FREQUENCY FOUNTAIN REWARDS OR DERIVING FINANCIAL BENEFIT FROM THEM. PAST DISTRIBUTIONS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS.

IMU may suspend or permanently terminate the Frequency Fountain at any time.

"Redeem" is a future promotional program through which holders of qualifying IMU NFTs may receive a portion of advertising revenue generated by IMU once paid advertising is launched on IMUTV. The Redeem program is not currently active and will be activated by IMU at a future date.
C6.1 Activation Conditions
The Redeem program will become active when IMU has secured paid advertisers and begins generating advertising revenue on IMUTV at a level sufficient, in IMU's sole discretion, to support distributions. IMU makes no commitment as to when, or whether, the Redeem program will become active. Until activation, the Redeem feature page may display program information but no distributions will occur.
C6.2 Eligible Holdings
Eligibility for Redeem distributions will be determined by IMU prior to activation and may include holders of specified IMU NFT collections, XFT token holders, or other participant categories. Specific eligibility criteria, distribution rates, and qualifying snapshot mechanics will be published before the program becomes active.
C6.3 Distribution Mechanics
C6.3.1 Redeem distributions, when active, will be calculated based on a percentage of net advertising revenue determined by IMU at its sole discretion. "Net advertising revenue" means gross advertising revenue received by IMU from paid advertisers, less applicable platform costs, payment processing fees, ad network commissions, taxes, and operational expenses.
C6.3.2 Distributions, when active, will be paid in XFT or other tokens or credits as determined by IMU. Distributions will be made to the connected XRPL wallets of eligible participants on a schedule determined by IMU.

C6.4 Securities Disclaimer โ Critical
THE REDEEM PROGRAM IS A PROMOTIONAL DISTRIBUTION DESIGNED TO REWARD ACTIVE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION. REDEEM DISTRIBUTIONS ARE NOT DIVIDENDS, NOT PROFIT SHARES, NOT INTEREST, NOT YIELD, AND NOT SECURITIES. HOLDING AN IMU NFT OR XFT TOKEN DOES NOT CREATE OR REPRESENT AN OWNERSHIP INTEREST, EQUITY STAKE, MEMBERSHIP INTEREST, OR ANY OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT IN IMU, LLC.
REDEEM DISTRIBUTIONS, IF AND WHEN MADE, ARE DISCRETIONARY PROMOTIONAL PAYMENTS BY IMU. THEY DO NOT ARISE FROM ANY CONTRACTUAL ENTITLEMENT, ARE NOT REQUIRED BY LAW, AND CAN BE MODIFIED, REDUCED, OR ELIMINATED AT IMU'S SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. NO USER HAS ANY VESTED RIGHT TO RECEIVE ANY REDEEM DISTRIBUTION.
YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE, MINT, OR HOLD ANY IMU NFT OR XFT TOKEN WITH ANY EXPECTATION OF RECEIVING REDEEM DISTRIBUTIONS OR DERIVING FINANCIAL BENEFIT FROM THEM. THE REDEEM PROGRAM MAY NEVER BE ACTIVATED. EVEN IF ACTIVATED, DISTRIBUTIONS MAY BE NEGLIGIBLE OR ZERO. PAST PROMOTIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS BY IMU ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, IMU reserves the right to structure the Redeem program differently or to abandon it entirely if doing so is necessary to comply with applicable law, including securities, money transmission, gaming, or consumer protection regulations.
