We compiled a binding termsheet, which recorded the fundamental agreements of the parties on the terms of the transaction, on the distribution of shares in the new company, on the procedure for transferring software, on the criteria for successful commercialization of software and on the consequences of failure to achieve success.
Preparing a package of documents for launching a Web3 game on behalf of a company registered in the UAE
We analyzed the legislation of key jurisdictions, including the requirements of the European GDPR and local UAE legislation in the field of personal data, assessing their impact on the content of the documents. We took into account the presence of Play-to-Own and Compete-to-Earn mechanics and how it affects game processes and the game economy. We analyzed how NFT generation, NFT transactions and NFT ungeneration back into the character affect the account of a specific user and their rights and obligations. We selected the most favorable applicable law for the company and jurisdiction in disputes with users. The documents (Privacy Policy and Terms of Use) are prepared taking into account the requirements of the UAE, since the operator of personal data and the copyright holder of the game is a company registered in the UAE.

The contract includes conditions that allow the client to concentrate exclusive rights to all intellectual property objects created by freelance developers and minimize risks associated with the rights of third parties.
