- NFTs.
- Each lawful holder of a Finished Item, a 10KTF NFT or a Special NFT (“Holder”) does not own any rights in the digital art associated with or featured in the Finished Item, 10KTF NFT or Special NFT (“Art“) unless such right or license is expressly granted to Holder: (i) under the terms applicable to the relevant Parent NFT (“Parent NFT Terms“), (ii) under these Terms by Yuga Labs, or (iii) by Yuga Labs or a third-party licensor under the Special Terms. In the event of conflict between the rights granted to you under these Terms and the rights granted to you under the Parent NFT Terms or the Special Terms, the rights granted under the Parent NFT Terms or the Special Terms, as applicable, will prevail.
- All rights not expressly granted herein or in the applicable Special Terms are reserved by Yuga Labs and its third-party licensors.
- Subject to Holder's compliance with these Terms, for so long as Holder holds a Finished Item, 10KTF NFT or Special NFT, Yuga Labs grants to Holder a non-exclusive, universe-wide, royalty-free, license to use, copy, and display (but without any right to sublicense, whether through one or more tiers) the Art associated with Holder's Finished Item, 10KTF NFT or Special NFT solely for Holder's own personal, non-commercial use, including (i) for home display, display in a virtual gallery, or as a social media avatar; and (ii) to create a reasonable number of back-up copies and a physical print out, each to be retained only for so long as Holder owns the associated Finished Item or 10KTF NFT.

- in a manner that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on membership in a protected class, such as race, religion, gender, orientation, or disability;
- in a manner that violates applicable law;
- in a manner that would be prejudicial to the honor or reputation of Yuga Labs, Parent NFT creators, Yuga Labs' licensors or creators of Art associated with any Special NFT;
- for any commercial purpose (including, without limitation, as advertising, marketing, creating, making or manufacturing any product or service); or

- Ownership of a 10KTF NFT, Finished Item or Special NFT, and the license granted in Section V(3)(C) are not separable in any way. Holder may not engage in any transaction or activity that purports to decouple or separate the license granted in Section V(3)(C) from Holder's 10KTF NFT, Finished Item or Special NFT.

Any license purportedly granted hereunder to the owner of a non-fungible token recorded on a Blockchain not designated by Yuga Labs is void ab initio.
- Your Intellectual Property.
- As between Yuga Labs and you, you retain all right, title and interest in and to the digital art associated with any Parent NFT that you own (provided, the foregoing shall not be construed as Yuga Labs granting any right, title or interest in or two the Parent NFT, all of which rights, title and interest shall be determined between you and the creator of such Parent NFT or the digital art associated therewith).

- a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the materials on the Services of which you are complaining is not authorized by the copyright or other intellectual property right owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or other intellectual property right owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf.
- Repeat Infringers. Yuga Labs' policy is to: (a) remove or disable access to material that Yuga Labs believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or authorized agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being made available through the Services; and (b) to disable and block smart contract access to (and, in the event that Yuga Labs establishes user accounts, to terminate the accounts of and block access to) the Services by any user who repeatedly or egregiously infringes other people's copyright or other intellectual property rights.
- Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from Yuga Labs that material made available by you on or through the Services has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide Yuga Labs with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to Yuga Labs' Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section (V)(6)(B), and include substantially the following information:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

- Reposting of Content Subject to a Counter Notification. If you submit a Counter Notification to Yuga Labs in response to a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then Yuga Labs will promptly provide the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a copy of your Counter Notification and inform that person that Yuga Labs will replace the removed content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days, and Yuga Labs will replace the removed content and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless Yuga Labs' Designated Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Yuga Labs' system or network.
- False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) that: “[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of Yuga Labs relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.” Yuga Labs reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law.

- GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM CHOICE
These Terms, and any action related thereto, will be governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section XII “DISPUTE RESOLUTION,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and You and Yuga Labs each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
- DISPUTE RESOLUTION
- Informal Resolution of Disputes. You and Yuga Labs must first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) informally. Accordingly, neither you nor Yuga Labs may start a formal arbitration proceeding for at least sixty (60) days after one party notifies the other party of a claim in writing. As part of this informal resolution process, you must deliver Your written notices via hand or first-class mail to us at Yuga Labs 1450 S Dixie Hwy Ste 105 1075, Coral Gables, FL 33146. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights at any time.
- Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Yuga Labs agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that You and Yuga Labs are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
- Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section XII (2) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.
- Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where You live, with provision to be made for remote appearances to the maximum extent permitted by the AAA Rules, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement.
- Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we will not seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorneys' fees and costs and will not seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
- Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section XII(3) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
- Class Action Waiver. YOU AND YUGA LABS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties' Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
- Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section XII(7) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
