OpenSea added a new feature called 'Unique Item Offers' that allows users to place open offers to purchase any NFT in a collection matching selected attributes, without requiring the item to be listed for sale. The updated terms clarify that attribute matching is approximate and based on creator-provided data that OpenSea does not independently verify, placing responsibility on users to review matching items before placing an offer. Users accept full responsibility for their offers and resulting transactions under these new terms.
