DIGITAL COLLECTIBLE LICENSE

when bears build,
they build together

Thank you for being a part of the Okay Bears community! We have prepared these Okay Bear Digital Collectible License Terms (Terms) to explain what rights the lawful owner of an Okay Bear Digital Collectible (defined below) has in the unique image of the Okay Bear associated with their Okay Bear Digital Collectible.  Okay Bear Digital Collectible means an Okay Bear-branded or themed Digital Collectible created by Okay Bears Pty Ltd (Creator, we, 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 Digital Collectible, you agree to these Terms.

IP license

Okay Bears are Digital Collectibles that are verified through blockchain technology (Okay Bear). When you lawfully acquire an Okay Bear Digital Collectible, depending on the blockchain, you own the actual token or inscription, verifiable through a unique token ID or inscription number. You also have rights to use the Art associated with your Okay Bear Digital Collectible, subject to your compliance with these Terms. The Art is made up of the:

  • Okay Bears IP Pack; and
  • Okay Bears Community Tool Kit,

identified within this IP License and associated with your Digital Collectible’s unique token ID or inscription number (Art).

Art For Personal And Commercial Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, our Terms of Service and Sale and our Usage Standards (see below), for as long as you lawfully own an Okay Bear Digital Collectible, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sub-licensable, worldwide, royalty free license to use the Art for both personal use (including but not limited to profile pictures, social media content, physical prints or as your avatar in other digital worlds) and commercial use (including but not limited to selling t-shirts, comic books, etc.), as long as all such uses are in line with our Usage Standards.  Also, if you want to bundle the Art associated with multiple Okay Bear Digital Collectibles in a single work for commercial use, including but not limited to a comic book or movie featuring multiple Okay Bears, you will need to submit an application to us and obtain our written consent before doing so.

Usage Standards

Your use of the Art for your Okay Bear Digital Collectible must be suitable for all audiences.

1. You own the Okay Bear Digital Collectible and that ownership gives you important rights in the Art associated with your Okay Bear Digital Collectible

Your rights to use the Art is defined by the IP License Terms and Conditions found here.

1.1 Okay Bear Digital Collectible.

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 Digital Collectible, you own the actual token or inscription of the Okay Bear Digital Collectible (e.g., the right to freely sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of that Okay Bear Digital Collectible).  Owning your Okay Bear Digital Collectible also gives you important rights in the Art for your Okay Bear Digital Collectible.  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 Art, in any and all media.

2. What Rights You Are Granted in The Digital Collectible Art for Your Okay Bear Digital Collectible

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.

2.2Digital Collectible 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 Digital Collectibles) on any marketplace, creating and selling merchandise or creating a comic book or video game that displays the Art. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, for as long as you lawfully own an Okay Bear Digital Collectible, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free, license to use, copy, reproduce and display the Art for your Okay Bear Digital Collectible for any Commercial Use; provided that you may not include the Art for more than one Okay Bear Digital Collectible 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 Digital Collectible and wish to use the Art for multiple Okay Bear Digital Collectibles 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 (Application), which will be available on the okaybears.com website or such other places we may make available from time to time.

This license does permit you to mint and create new Digital Collectibles and Digital Collectible projects based on your Art for your Okay Bear Digital Collectible 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 Digital Collectibles.

2.4 Usage Standards.

We care deeply about ensuring that Okay Bear Digital Collectibles are used in a kind and positive manner. You are not permitted to use the 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.

2.5 Derivative Works.

We understand that you may want to create derivative works of the Art (Digital Collectible Art Derivatives) for your specific Okay Bear Digital Collectible, 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 Digital Collectible Art Derivatives under the licenses granted above, provided that you do not create any Digital Collectible Art Derivatives that:

  1. are the same as or substantially similar to Art for other Okay Bear Digital Collectibles that you do not own;
  2. other Digital Collectible Art Derivatives that others have already created; or 
  3. could mislead the public into thinking that we have created, sold or endorsed your Digital Collectible Art Derivatives. 

Also, you acknowledge and agree that:

  1. we may also create our own future Digital Collectible Art Derivatives; and 
  2. other holders of their own Okay Bear Digital Collectibles may also create their own Digital Collectible Art Derivatives of any Art linked to their own Okay Bear Digital Collectibles. 

These other Digital Collectible Art Derivatives may be similar or identical to your own Digital Collectible 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:

  1. Creator or its affiliates or licensees (or any of their employees, partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders) in connection with their use of any Art or any of their own Digital Collectible Art Derivatives; or 
  2. any other Okay Bear Digital Collectible holder or its affiliates or licensees (or any of their employees, partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders) in connection with use of Art relating to their own Okay Bear Digital Collectibles or any of their own Digital Collectible Art Derivatives. 

The foregoing is the case even if such Art or Digital Collectible Art Derivatives is similar to, or the same as, any Digital Collectible 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 Digital Collectible Art

3.1 Transfer.

The licenses granted in these Terms are non-transferrable. If you sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of your Okay Bear Digital Collectible then you will no longer be granted the foregoing licenses in the Art. In connection with any sales, transfers (including migrations or bridging across blockchains authorised by us) or similar transactions of the Okay Bear Digital Collectibles, the transferee agrees that by purchasing, accepting, or otherwise acquiring the Okay Bear Digital Collectible, they hereby accept these Terms. You may not transfer an Okay Bear Digital Collectible 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 Digital Collectible is fractionalized into smaller ownership interests (which may be represented by other tokens or inscriptions), the rights licensed hereunder do not transfer to each of the owners of such fractionalized interests in the Okay Bear Digital Collectible, but are only granted to those who own all fractionalized interests in an Okay Bear Digital Collectible.

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.

3.2 Migrations and Bridging.

If we offer Migration or Bridging for your Okay Bear Digital Collectible to another blockchain (New Okay Bear Digital Collectible) and you accept this offer, then the licenses associated with the Okay Bear Digital Collectible will remain in effect and be associated with the New Okay Bear Digital Collectible. If you do not accept the Migration or Bridging offer then your license to the Art remains in effect.

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 Digital Collectibles

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 Art for your Okay Bear Digital Collectible, and you will need to modify the Art to remove or obfuscate such Okay Bears Trademarks before making any use of such 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 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 Digital Collectible or 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 Digital Collectible. If such event occurs and results in duplicate Okay Bear Digital Collectibles, any rights granted under these Terms to owners of any Okay Bear Digital Collectible will only be granted to the lawful owners of the Okay Bear Digital Collectible 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.

5. Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability, And Indemnification

To the extent not prohibited by law, you agree that in no event will the Creator Entities be liable (a) for any indirect, special, exemplary, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, procurement of substitute goods or services, loss of use, data or profits, business interruption or any other damages or losses, arising out of or related to your use or inability to use the Okay Bear Digital Collectibles ), however caused and under any theory of liability, whether under these terms or otherwise arising in any way in connection with the Okay Bears Digital Collectible or Art or these terms and whether in contract, strict liability or tort (including negligence or otherwise) even if the creator entities have been advised of the possibility of such damage, or (b) for any other claim, demand or damages whatsoever resulting from or arising out of or in connection with these terms or the delivery, use or performance of the Okay Bears Digital Collectibles or Art.

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.
