NFT Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: October 1, 2021
By purchasing or otherwise obtaining a unique, non-fungible token created by the entity identified as the owner and issuer of such token (“Creator”) (“NFT”), either through an initial transfer from a licensee of Creator or a subsequent transfer from the prior owner of the Digital Collectible, you agree to these NFT Terms and Conditions by and between you and Creator (these “Terms”).
- The NFT is specifically associated with one or more works of authorship owned or controlled by Creator (“Creator Content”) such that, if you own the NFT, you can access, display and/or perform such Creator Content through the NFT pursuant to these Terms (the “Digital Collectible”). You hereby acknowledge and agree that the NFT is separate from the Creator Content; the NFT is sold or otherwise transferred to you and, by owning the NFT, you receive the rights to access the Creator Content through the NFT, subject to and in accordance with these Terms. The Creator Content is neither stored nor embedded in the NFT, but is accessible through the NFT, subject to compliance with these Terms.
- We may update these Terms from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by making available the updated Terms via a link embedded in the NFT. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we made available the updated Terms incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes. Your access to or use of the Digital Collectible following any changes to these Terms will constitute your acceptance of such changes. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when these Terms were last changed.
- Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Creator hereby grants to you, to the extent of Creator’s rights in the Creator Content, and solely for so long as you own the NFT, the non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable worldwide right to access, display and/or perform the Creator Content associated with the purchased NFT as part of the Digital Collectible, solely for your own personal, non-commercial use. Except as expressly set forth herein, all rights in the Creator Content are expressly reserved by Creatorand its licensors.
- In connection with the Digital Collectible, you may not, nor may you permit any third party to, do or attempt to do any of the following without Creator’s express prior written consent in each case: (i) modify the Creator Content associated with the Digital Collectible in any way, including, without limitation, the sounds, shapes, designs, drawings, attributes or color schemes; (ii) use the Creator Content associated with your Digital Collectible to advertise, market, promote, or sell any third party product or service or otherwise use the Creator Content for your or any third party’s commercial benefit; (iii) use the Creator Content in connection with images, videos or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, cruelty or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; (iv) use the Creator Content to, directly or indirectly, protest, defame or disparage the name, image, reputation, goodwill or proprietary rights of Creator or any of its affiliates, owners, teams, players, personnel, associated leagues, publications or programs; (v) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain) or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains or consists of the Creator Content; (vi) attempt to trademark, copyright or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Creator Content; or (vii) separate, unlink or decouple the Creator Content from the NFT with which it is associated to form the Digital Collectible.
- The Digital Collectible may incorporate intellectual property, including copyrighted materials, trade names, trademarks or service marks, and the names, likenesses, images or persona of Creator or other individuals or entities associated with Creator (the “IP”). As between you and Creator, such IP is owned by Creator and/or its affiliates. Your use of such IP is subject to the rights granted above and any additional restrictions imposed by the owner of such IP to the extent that Creator informs you of such additional restrictions, and you may not use any such IP in connection with any business, product or service, or in any manner that may imply endorsement of any business, message, product or service, or that is likely to cause confusion or dilute, blur or tarnish such IP. All use of such IP, including any goodwill generated by such use, shall inure to the benefit of Creator and/or its affiliates.

Your right to access, display and/or perform the Digital Collectible will also immediately terminate (without the requirement of notice) if you breach these Terms.
