Under no circumstances shall any of your physical merchandise replicate, or be at all similar to, existing physical products created, sold, previewed, or contemplated by the Hosting Parties, existing now or in the future.

You further understand and agree that this license does not permit the ability to create any digital merchandise. The creation and minting of any digital assets which are derivatives of Licensed NFTs or Digital Assets are expressly prohibited.

You understand and acknowledge that you may not, nor permit any third party to do or attempt to do the foregoing without the express prior written consent from us; (1) modify the Art in your Licensed NFT or any applicable Licensed NFT Crop in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, color schemes, or design elements of the Licensed NFT; (2) produce any merchandise in connection with your Licensed NFT that depicts lewd behavior, illegality, hatred, intolerance, cruelty, vulgarity, pornographic or other “adult-only” material, discrimination, or otherwise harmful material that may be considered to harm the public’s perception of the Art as determined by us in our sole discretion; (3) or attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise attempt to acquire additional intellectual property rights in your Licensed NFT or any applicable Licensed NFT Crop. These restrictions notwithstanding, the user may be allowed to modify the Art in the Licensed NFT through separate alteration services conducted and expressly allowed by the Hosting Parties. However, such modifications performed by the Hosting Parties shall not confer additional rights to the Licensed NFTs to you beyond the existing licenses described in Section 4 of these Terms.

8. Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge and agree that the Licensed NFTs are made solely for entertainment purposes only. You further acknowledge and agree that: (1) the market and prices for a blockchain asset are extremely volatile; (2) subjective and collectible blockchain assets, such as the Licensed NFTs, have no inherent or intrinsic value, and fluctuations in the price of such blockchain assets could materially and adversely affect the price and value of your Licensed NFTs; (3) there are risks involved with using digital currencies and assets, including, but not limited to, risk of hardware, software, internet connection failure, risk of malicious software, and risk that unauthorized parties may gain access to your personal information including such information and assets contained in your digital wallet or elsewhere; (4) there is an inherent risk that new regulations or policies specific to digital assets may occur which may materially affect the value of any Licensed NFTs; (5) there is an inherent risk that you may lose access due to loss of private keys, custodial error, or even purchaser error; (6) there are risks related to taxation; and (7) we do not make any guarantees or representations about the availability of the Licensed NFTs or the art or that they will host the Licensed NFTs or the Art in any specific location for any specific period of time.

You understand that the Licensed NFTs sold by the Hosting Parties may be changed by their respective owner through certain conditions being met or by certain allowed services being performed. You understand that these changes may cause material elements of the Licensed NFT to change which may not be immediately visible on the Licensed NFTs as they may appear on NFT Trading Platforms. You agree that your bid, purchase, or offer for any Licensed NFT is made with the understanding that specific elements of any Licensed NFT may have changed without being reflected on NFT Trading Platforms. You understand that losses in value may occur from such a change occurring in the Licensed NFTs, and such changes may occur prior to the completion of your purchase of one of the Licensed NFTs on a third party platform.

You agree that any bid, purchase, or offer to purchase any of the Licensed NFTs are made at your own risk. You agree that you have received sufficient information to make an informed decision regarding the decision to purchase or otherwise obtain the Licensed NFTs and that you understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining the value, nature, and appropriateness of the above risks for yourself.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE HOSTING PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXTRAORDINARY, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS, TECHNOLOGY FAILURE, OR MALFUNCTION, REVENUE, PROFITS, USE OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE RELATED TO ANY LICENSED NFT OR OTHERWISE) HOWEVER ARISING, EVEN IF YOU AND/OR THE HOSTING PARTIES KNOW THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

10. Release

IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE. YOU RELEASE US FROM ANY LIABILITY RELATING TO OUR SITE OR CONTENT, AND YOU RELEASE US, OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AND AGENTS FROM ANY CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE AGAINST US. THIS RELEASE DOES NOT APPLY TO NEW JERSEY USERS.

If you are a resident of a jurisdiction that requires a specific statement regarding the release, then the following applies. For example, California residents must, as a condition of this Agreement, waive the applicability of California Civil Code Section 1542 which states, “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” You hereby waive this section of the California Civil Code. You hereby waive any similar provision in law, regulation, or code that has the same intent or effect as the aforementioned release. You release us from any liability relating to our site or its content, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against us. This release does not apply to New Jersey users.

11. Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1988

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted on the Site infringe your copyright, you or your agent may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon the Hosting Parties actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter- notice. All notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. You may reach our copyright agent by providing a direct message to Random Character Collective’s Twitter at @RNDMCHARACTERS.
