Introduction
As an NFT owner, you have the right to copy, display, remix, and do other creative things with your NFT image, with minimal restrictions. Under this license, you can incorporate your NFT image into physical objects, clothing, or even board games. Let us know if you do! We’d love to hear about what you are building!
The license does not give you ownership of the underlying art, brand, or other intellectual property associated with project/publisher organization. Also, while your license is broad and subject to few limitations, you cannot use your NFT image for economic activity that generates more than $50,000 in gross revenue per 12 months. If you want to engage in this sort of activity, we’re all ears, but please contact us about a commercial license. Finally, you are not allowed to do bad things with your NFT -- illegal, racist, sexist, or homophobic stuff, for example.
The General NFT License below is a legally binding agreement between you and us, so please review this document carefully before deciding whether to acquire a Pop Art Cat NFT, a Pop Art Specials NFT or a Pop Art Wonders NFT.
** This General NFT License (the “License”) states the terms and conditions governing each NFT that is offered, sold, or transferred to any person (which may be an individual or an entity). If you sell, purchase, transfer, or acquire an NFT, you agree to be bound by the terms of this License. **

You acknowledge and agree that we own all legal right, title, and interest in and to all elements of the Art. You acknowledge that the Art is protected by, as applicable, copyright, patent, or trademark laws or other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights.

You may exercise your commercial license for economic activity that generates up to $50,000 in gross revenue per 12 months, subject to the usage limitations described in Section 2.4 below.

** Transferring Your NFT. ** You may sell or transfer your NFT, and upon such sale or transfer, your entire license to the Art and any associated rights will transfer to the new owner. The new owner will enjoy the license and any associated rights described in Section 3 above, provided that the new owner’s ownership of the NFT is cryptographically verifiable on the Ethereum blockchain.

** Restrictions. ** You agree to not use the Art in any way that is unlawful, pornographic, defamatory, abusive, harassing, obscene, libelous, harmful to minors, racist, sexist, homophobic, hate speech, gender discrimination, violence, depicting the use of drugs or cigarettes or otherwise objectionable to any persons under the age of 18.
