NFT license

when bears build,
they build together

Thank you for being a part of the Okay Bears community! We have prepared these Okay Bear NFT License Terms (“Terms”) to explain what rights the lawful owner of an Okay Bear NFT (defined below) has in the unique image of the Okay Bear associated with their Okay Bear NFT (“NFT Art”).  “Okay Bear NFT” means an Okay Bear-branded or themed non-fungible token (“NFT”) created by Okay Bears Pty Ltd. (“Creator” or “we” or “our” or “us”). These Terms are intended to promote consistency, cohesiveness, and quality in communications, products, and experiences associated with Okay Bears. By purchasing or acquiring an Okay Bear NFT, you agree to these Terms.

1. You Own the Okay Bear NFT and that Ownership Gives You Important Rights in the NFT Art for Your Okay Bear NFT 

1.1 Okay Bear NFT

info

Below we’re going to explain what rights you have in the artwork for your Okay Bears NFT.

When you lawfully acquire an Okay Bear NFT, you own the actual token of the Okay Bear NFT (e.g., the right to freely sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of that Okay Bear NFT).  Owning your Okay Bear NFT also gives you important rights in the NFT Art for your Okay Bear NFT.  Below we describe exactly what those rights are, which are intended to be broad, enabling you to make both personal and commercial uses of your NFT Art, in any and all media.

2. What Rights You Are Granted in the NFT Art for Your Okay Bear NFT

2.1 NFT Art Personal license

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, for as long as you lawfully own an Okay Bear NFT, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free, license to use, reproduce, display, modify, and create derivative works of the NFT Art for your Okay Bear NFT for personal, non-commercial use, such as to print and hang the NFT Art in your room, display as your profile picture, or use as a metaverse avatar.

info

You can use your Okay Bear artwork for personal use, such as for profile pics, social media content or as your avatar in other digital worlds.

2.2NFT Art Commercial license

Commercial Use” means any lawful activity that is performed with the intent to generate revenue, such as sale or transfer of items (including NFTs) on any marketplace, creating and selling merchandise or creating a comic book or video game that displays the NFT Art. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, for as long as you lawfully own an Okay Bear NFT, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free, license to use, copy, reproduce and display the NFT Art for your Okay Bear NFT for any Commercial Use; provided that you may not include the NFT Art for more than one Okay Bear NFT in any single work (such as multiple Okay Bears in a comic book or movie) for a Commercial Use except as set forth below. If you own more than one Okay Bear NFT and wish to use the NFT Art for multiple Okay Bear NFTs in the same work for a Commercial Use, you must apply to do so by completing and submitting to us a copy of the Okay Bears Commercial license Application (the “Application”), which will be available on the okaybears.com website or such other places we may make available from time to time. We will review your Application and determine if your proposed use aligns with our vision for the Okay Bears brand. We can approve or reject an Application in our sole discretion. The license in this Section 2.2 does not include a right to create derivative works of the NFT Art except as necessary to adapt and depict the NFT Art in or on the goods or media created pursuant to this license, or as otherwise required in the “No Rights to Trademarks” Section below. This license does permit you to mint and create new NFTs and NFT projects based on your NFT Art for your Okay Bear NFT that you lawfully own, but in no event can you use or display the Okay Bears Trademarks (or any confusingly similar trademarks) on, or to promote, such new NFTs.

info

If you want to use the art for your Okay Bear to make money, please submit an application letting us know your plans. We will approve applications based on alignment with our vision for the Okay Bears brand.

2.3 Third Party Content Displayed in Okay Bear NFTs

We may collaborate with third parties to create Okay Bear NFTs or versions thereof which include artwork, images, works of authorship artwork, logos, trademarks, service marks, or trade dress owned by a third party (“Third Party Content”). The licenses granted in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above do not extend to any Third Party Content included in any NFT Art, and you may not use, copy, reproduce, display, create derivative works of, or create new NFTs based on such Third Party Content, or any portion thereof, unless we or the applicable third parties expressly provide our consent in writing or by public announcement.

info

We may collab with other brands and projects to create new Okay Bear-related NFTs that feature third-party content. If you acquire an Okay Bear NFT that is the product of such a collab with another brand, then other license terms will apply.

2.4 Usage Standards

We care deeply about ensuring that Okay Bear NFTs are used in a kind and positive manner. You are not permitted to use the NFT Art in any way that is deceptive, offensive, is intentionally divisive, promotes hatred, violence, substance abuse, drug & alcohol related products, gambling, mature themes, a specific political or religious ideology, or is otherwise unsuitable for all audiences.

info

Please don’t turn your Okay Bear into a jerk. Your use of the artwork for your Okay Bear must be suitable for all audiences. It may not be used in association with content that we think is offensive or divisive in the public domain.

2.5 Derivative Works

We understand that you may want to create derivative works of the NFT Art (“NFT Art Derivatives”) for your specific Okay Bear NFT, for example, by building out the rest of their body to use as an avatar in a game, or depicting them in other art styles such as pixel art. We allow you to create NFT Art Derivatives under the licenses granted above, provided that you do not create any NFT Art Derivatives that (i) are the same as or substantially similar to (x) NFT Art for other Okay Bear NFTs that you do not own, or (y) to other NFT Art Derivatives that others have already created, or (ii) could mislead the public into thinking that we have created, sold or endorsed your NFT Art Derivatives. Also, you acknowledge and agree that (a) we may also create our own future NFT Art Derivatives, and (b) other holders of their own Okay Bear NFTs may also create their own NFT Art Derivatives of any NFT Art linked to their own Okay Bear NFTs. These other NFT Art Derivatives may be similar or identical to your own NFT Art Derivatives. Accordingly, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, successors and assigns, you irrevocably covenant and agree not to assert or bring any suit, claim, demand or challenge against (I) Creator or its affiliates or licensees (or any of their partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders) in connection with their use of any NFT Art or any of their own NFT Art Derivatives or (II) any other Okay Bear NFT holder or its affiliates or licensees (or any of their partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders) in connection with use of NFT Art relating to their own Okay Bear NFTs or any of their own NFT Art Derivatives. The foregoing is the case even if such NFT Art or NFT Art Derivatives is similar to, or the same as, any NFT Art Derivatives that have been created by you.

info

You can create change, modify, enhance and create derivatives of artwork for your Okay Bear. But just make sure you don’t mislead others to think that your derivatives are endorsed by or affiliated with us, and don’t copy other Okay Bears artwork or other derivatives that others may make. Also, we can create our own derivatives as well, and you agree not to bring a claim against us if what we happen to create ends up looking similar to your prior derivatives.

3. How You May Transfer Your Rights in the NFT Art

3.1 Transfer

The licenses granted in these Terms are non-transferrable, except that if you sell or transfer your Okay Bear NFT, you will no longer be granted the foregoing licenses in the NFT Art, and such licenses will transfer to the lawful new owner of the Okay Bear NFT associated with such NFT Art. In connection with any sales, transfers or similar transactions of the Okay Bear NFTs, the transferee agrees that by purchasing, accepting, or otherwise acquiring the Okay Bear NFT, they hereby accept these Terms. You may not transfer an Okay Bear NFT to a transferee that is located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist-supporting country; or is otherwise listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. If an Okay Bear NFT is fractionalized into smaller ownership interests (which may be represented by other tokens), the rights licensed hereunder do not transfer to each of the owners of such fractionalized interests in the Okay Bear NFT, but are only granted to those who own all fractionalized interests in an Okay Bear NFT.

info

These license in the Okay Bears art are not transferable unless you transfer your Okay Bears NFT. In that case, the licenses transfer to the lawful new owner. Also, please don’t sell your Okay Bears NFT to someone that is not legally allowed to buy it.

4. Other Key Considerations Regarding Okay Bears NFTs

4.1 Okay Bears Trademarks

“Okay Bears Trademarks” means any and all logos, trademarks, service marks, and trade dress associated with Okay Bears, okaybears.com, us, or any other names of Okay Bears-related characters or products or service developed by us, including the “Okay Bears” name and the phrase “Okay Cares.” Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to the Okay Bears Trademarks for any use (whether personal or otherwise), and you may not use the Okay Bears Trademarks or any confusingly similar variation thereof for any purpose. This restriction includes any Okay Bears Trademarks that may be displayed or contained in any NFT Art for your Okay Bear NFT, and you will need to modify the NFT Art to remove or obfuscate such Okay Bears Trademarks before making any use of such NFT Art. For the avoidance of doubt, the Okay Bears Trademarks does not include the phrase “OKB Community,” which you can freely use.

info

You cannot use the Okay Bears name, logo, brand message, key phrases, or visual identity for any commercial or personal use.

4.2Reservation of Rights

All rights in and to the NFT Art and any other intellectual property of Creator not expressly licensed herein are hereby reserved by Creator. All goodwill arising from any use of the Okay Bears Trademark will inure solely to Creator and its affiliates. You may not remove, delete or obscure any trademark notice, copyright notice or other intellectual property notice in any Okay Bear NFT or NFT Art.

info

You cannot use the Okay Bears name, logo, brand message, key phrases, or visual identity for any commercial or personal use.

4.3 Blockchain Forks

Due to the open-source nature of public blockchains, it is possible that there may be a fork, merge, or duplication of the underlying blockchain that has recorded ownership of your Okay Bear NFT. If such event occurs and results in duplicate Okay Bear NFTs, any rights granted under these Terms to owners of any Okay Bear NFT will only be granted to the lawful owners of the Okay Bear NFT whose ownership is recorded on the blockchain that is generally recognized as the legitimate version or successor of such blockchain (as determined in our sole discretion).

info

You cannot use the Okay Bears name, logo, brand message, key phrases, or visual identity for any commercial or personal use.

SOME JURISDICTIONS (SUCH AS THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY) DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

5.3 Indemnification.

6. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Additional Features.

Creator may choose to make additional features, access, content, items or other benefits available to owners of Okay Bear NFTs (“Additional Features”). Creator has no duty or obligation to provide you with any Additional Features, and you should not expect any Additional Features when acquiring an Okay Bear NFT. Additional Features may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which may be presented to you at the time they are made available.

info

We might add some cool new features accessible to Okay Bear holders. But hopefully it’ll be a surprise, and you understand that we are not obligated to do so.

6.2 Updating these Terms.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make changes that are material, we will use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you, such as by placing a prominent notice on the first page of our website. However, it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to view any such changes. Your continued access or use of the Okay Bear NFTs or NFT Art after these Terms have been updated will be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms.

info

We need the right to adapt and update these terms as the Okay Bears project grows. We will try to give the community prominent advance notice of any significant changes to these terms.

6.3 Termination of License.

If you materially breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted to you under these Terms will terminate automatically. Upon the termination of your licenses, you shall cease all marketing, distribution, or sale of goods, services and media that feature the NFT Art and shall cease all further use or display of the NFT Art (including any NFT Art Derivatives), and all sublicenses you have granted in the NFT Art shall automatically terminate. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by Creator or you. Termination will not limit any of Creator’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

info

If you breach the terms of this license, your license will be subject to termination. Hopefully that’ll never happen!

6.4 Miscellaneous.

If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be freely assigned by Creator but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of Creator. Any purported assignment in violation of these Terms will be null and void.
