OTHERDEED EXPANDED NFT LICENSE AGREEMENT

These terms (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement by and between Yuga Labs, Inc. (“Yuga Labs,” “we” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, and any holder of an Otherdeed Expanded NFT (defined below) (“you” or “Holder”) governing the parties’ rights and obligations with respect to Otherdeed Expanded NFTs and the Art (defined below). “Otherdeed Expanded NFT” means a non-fungible token minted by a smart contract deployed and associated with the contract metadata containing these Terms, or such other smart contract(s) as designated by Yuga Labs from time to time in its sole discretion, including any replacement, upgrade, or successor smart contract(s) that Yuga Labs may designate in its sole discretion (the “Otherdeed Expanded NFT Smart Contract”). An Otherdeed Expanded NFT Smart Contract associates each Otherdeed Expanded NFT with a piece of digital art resembling a digital plot of land commonly referred to as an “Otherdeed,” as may be changed from time to time (the “Art”).

NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER:

BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND YUGA LABS THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 10 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION) BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES, THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IN SECTION 10 WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU, BUT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 12 (GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM CHOICE) AND RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW WILL STILL APPLY.

YOU ALSO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS WIDE ARBITRATION.

1. Ownership.

  • (a) You Own Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT. When you own a digital wallet that holds an Otherdeed Expanded NFT, as recorded by the Otherdeed Expanded Smart Contract, you hold the exclusive right to hold, sell, transfer, and execute blockchain transactions involving that Otherdeed Expanded NFT (“Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT”). Except for the Otherdeed Expanded NFTs we own, Yuga Labs has no right or ability to seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Otherdeed Expanded NFT without authorization from the Holder; provided, the foregoing shall not restrict Yuga Labs’ right to modify the Art.
  • (b) We Own (but License to You) the IP in Your Art. Yuga Labs owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the Art including any and all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein (“IP”). However, we grant you the Non-Commercial License (as defined below) to use the Art associated with Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT (“Your Art”) for as long as you hold Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT.
  • (c) Utility. Holders may be offered utility, benefits, or entitlements (collectively, “Utility”) from time to time, but these Terms do not confer any Utility except as granted by the Non-Commercial License. Yuga Labs makes no assurances of any Utility. Any Utility may be subject to other terms and conditions. Yuga Labs will not be responsible in any manner for any Utility offered, or proposed to be offered by, any third party.
  • (d) Replacement or Successor NFTs. From time to time and in Yuga Labs’ sole discretion, you may be offered the opportunity and option to mint, claim, or otherwise receive replacements, substitutions, or upgrades to Your Otherdeed Expanded NFTs (a “Successor NFT”). A Successor NFT may display new Art. In connection with, and to be eligible for the receipt or redemption of, a Successor NFT, you will be required to agree to any and all additional terms and conditions associated with such receipt or redemption, including but not limited to the burning of your then-existing Otherdeed Expanded NFT, as Yuga Labs shall determine and communicate to you from time to time. You are not obligated to mint, claim or receive a Successor NFT, but if you do, you agree to continue to be subject and bound by these Terms with respect to your Successor NFT.
  • (e) Acceptance of These Terms. Your continued ownership of Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT shall be deemed acceptance of these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, any ownership and license rights are deemed immediately terminated, you are not permitted to use or display Your Art in any way, and you shall shall immediately either (i) return Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT to Yuga Labs or (ii) burn Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT such that it is permanently irretrievably by you and anybody else.

2. License.

  • (a) Non-Commercial License Grant. Subject to your acceptance of, and compliance with, these Terms, upon lawfully acquiring Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT and for so long as you hold Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT (both dates as recorded by the Otherdeed Expanded Smart Contract) (the “Non-Commercial License Term”), Yuga Labs grants to you 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) Your Art solely for your own personal, non-commercial use, including (i) for home display, display in a virtual gallery, or as a social media avatar; (ii) to create a reasonable number of back-up copies and a physical print out, each to be retained only for so long as you own the associated Otherdeed Expanded NFT; and (iii) as part of a Yuga Labs’ website or application, or the website or application of a third party approved in Yuga Labs’ sole discretion, that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT (the “Non-Commercial License”).
  • (b) Restrictions and Reservations.
    • i. The Non-Commercial License does not grant you any rights in or to Yuga Labs’ (or any other) trade names, brands, trade dress, or trademarks (e.g., “Yuga Labs” or “Otherdeed Expanded”), all of which are expressly reserved to Yuga Labs (collectively, “Yuga TM Rights”). You hereby agree that any Yuga TM Rights you purport to acquire, together with any associated goodwill, shall automatically, immediately, and at your expense be assigned to Yuga Labs.
    • ii. You may not use Your Art 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.
    • iii. You may not use Your Art in a manner that violates applicable law.
    • iv. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by us.

3. Enforcement.

Yuga Labs has no obligation to support the resolution of, or resolve any, dispute that may arise between Otherdeed Expanded NFT holders.

4. Transfers.

  • (a) No Decoupling. Except as expressly provided herein, ownership of an Otherdeed Expanded NFT and the Non-Commercial License are not separable in any way. You may not engage in any transaction or activity that purports to decouple the Non-Commercial License from Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT.
  • (b) Termination of License. Upon the transfer of Your Otherdeed Expanded NFT to a new Holder, as recorded by the Otherdeed Expanded Smart Contract: (i) your Non-Commercial License hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate; (ii) you must discontinue any use of Your Otherdeed Expanded Art.

  • (b) will only use and interact with any Otherdeed Expanded NFT and Art in accordance with these Terms;

  • (b) EACH OTHERDEED EXPANDED NFT IS AN INTANGIBLE DIGITAL ASSET THAT EXISTS ONLY BY VIRTUE OF THE OWNERSHIP RECORD MAINTAINED ON THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN. ANY TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN ANY UNIQUE DIGITAL ASSET OCCURS ON THE DECENTRALIZED LEDGER WITHIN THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN, WHICH YUGA LABS DOES NOT CONTROL.
  • (c) YUGA LABS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO HOLDER FOR ANY LOSS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHERDEED EXPANDED NFT OR ART AND TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO HOLDER FOR, ANY USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE ANY OTHERDEED EXPANDED NFT OR ART, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (I) USER ERROR SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS, SEED PHRASES, INCORRECTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, OR MISTYPED WALLET ADDRESSES; (II) THE BEHAVIOR OR OUTPUT OF ANY SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE; (III) DATA LOSS OR CORRUPTION; (IV) ANY FEATURES, DEVELOPMENT, ERRORS, OR OTHER ISSUES WITH BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS OR WALLETS; (V) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO ANY OTHERDEED EXPANDED NFT OR ART; OR (VI) THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

  • (f) SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES IN CONSUMER CONTRACTS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

7. Assumption of Risk.

Holder accepts and acknowledges all risks associated with the following:

  • (a) Yuga Labs is not responsible for determining or paying any taxes that apply to any Holder’s purchase, sale, or transfer of rights in each Otherdeed Expanded NFT. As between the parties, Holder is responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to such transactions.
  • (b) Transactions involving Otherdeed Expanded NFTs and Art rely on third-party or decentralized platforms, systems, or marketplaces. We do not maintain, control, or assume any obligations with respect to such platforms, systems, or marketplaces. To the extent that Yuga Labs provides links or access to third party platforms, sites, or other resources, it does so only as a convenience and is not responsible for the content, products, or services on or available from those third parties or through any content displayed thereon.

8. Indemnity.

Holder shall defend, indemnify, and hold Yuga Labs, its licensors, affiliates, representatives, and service providers, and each of them, and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, expenses, and other similar results or occurrences (including attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly arise from, or are related to or in connection with, any claim, suit, action, demand, or proceeding or other similar occurrence, process, or activity that is initiated, made, brought, or financed by a third party (including any person who accesses or transacts using any Otherdeed Expanded NFT or Art, whether or not such person personally purchased an Otherdeed Expanded NFT) against the Indemnified Parties, or on account of the investigation, defense, or settlement thereof, arising out of, related to, or in connection with: (a) your access to or use of any NFT marketplace or third-party services or products; (b) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms; (c) your exercise or attempted exercise of the Non-Commercial License; or (d) your actual or alleged violation of applicable law. Counsel to be used in the defense of such claim must be approved by Yuga Labs in writing prior to retention of such counsel and, upon our request, you will allow us to participate in the defense of any such claims. You will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim or litigation or that includes an admission of liability without our prior written consent.

9. Limitation of Liability.

  • (a) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO INDEMNIFIED PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, OR SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE OR INTERACT WITH ANY OTHERDEED EXPANDED NFT OR ART, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT YUGA LABS OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY HEREUNDER FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
  • (b) BY PURCHASING OR OWNING AN OTHERDEED EXPANDED NFT, HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YUGA LABS AND HOLDER.

10. Dispute Resolution.

  • (a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. 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 Otherdeed Expanded NFT or Art (“Dispute”) must be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. Each party waives the right to a trial in court and/or by a jury. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination of the Non-Commercial License or these Terms.
  • (b) Exceptions. As a limited exception to Section 10(a) above: (i) the parties may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of its intellectual property rights.
  • (c) 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 one lives, with provision to be made for remote appearances to the maximum extent permitted by the AAA rules, unless the parties 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 these Terms.
  • (d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and Yuga Labs won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees for which Yuga Labs is responsible unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute is frivolous. If Yuga Labs prevails in arbitration, Yuga Labs will pay all of its attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t 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.
  • (e) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 10(d) 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 Yuga Labs 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 reliefs shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
  • (f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND YUGA LABS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if a Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with a party’s 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.
  • (g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 10(f) (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.

11. Amendments.

Yuga Labs reserves the right to clarify or amend these Terms by publicly publishing a new version of them, including, but not limited to, on yuga.com/links/licenses, https://otherside.xyz/license/otherdeed-expanded, and any other website that Yuga Labs may use to display these Terms.

12. 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 New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 10 (Dispute Resolution), the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined above) will be the state and federal courts located in the State and City of New York, and you and Yuga Labs each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

13. Miscellaneous.

  • (a) The Non-Commercial License applies only to the Otherdeed Expanded NFT on the blockchain that Yuga, in its sole discretion, may designate, which designation shall apply retroactively. Thus, for example, if a fork or other event purports to result in duplicate Otherdeed Expanded NFTs, only the non-fungible token recorded on the blockchain designated by Yuga Labs will be eligible to receive the benefit of the Non-Commercial License. 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.
  • (b) These Terms will transfer and be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
  • (c) These Terms constitute the entire agreement, and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings and agreements, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of these Terms, all of which are hereby merged into these Terms. Without limitation, the terms of any other document, publication, course of dealing, or course of trade will not modify these Terms, except as expressly provided in Sections 11 or 13(a) or as the parties may agree in writing.
  • (d) Failure to promptly enforce a provision of these Terms or any rights related to the Otherdeed Expanded NFT or Art will not be construed as a waiver of such provision or rights.
  • (e) Nothing contained in these Terms will be deemed to create, or be construed as creating, a joint venture or partnership between the parties. Neither party is, by virtue of these Terms or otherwise, authorized as an agent or legal representative of the other party. Neither party is granted any right or authority to assume or to create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf or in the name of the other party. Nothing contained in these Terms will be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary right upon any third party whatsoever.
  • (f) The parties shall execute and deliver to the other party any and all such other instruments in reasonable mutually acceptable form and substance and shall take any and all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry the intent of these Terms into full force and effect.
  • (g) If any one or more of the provisions of these Terms should be ruled wholly or partly invalid or unenforceable, then the provisions held invalid or unenforceable will be deemed amended, and the arbitrator, court, or other government body is authorized to reform the provision(s) to the minimum extent necessary to render them valid and enforceable in conformity with the parties’ intent as manifested herein.
  • (h) The headings to sections of these Terms are for convenience or reference only and do not form a part of these Terms and will not in any way affect its interpretation.
  • (i) Neither party will be afforded or denied preference in the construction of these Terms, whether by virtue of being the drafter or otherwise.
  • (j) For purposes of these Terms, the words and phrases “include,” “includes,” “including,” and “such as” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.
  • (k) Holder may give notice to Yuga Labs by contacting Yuga Labs at [email protected]. Notice is effective upon receipt.
  • (l) The parties have agreed to contract electronically and, accordingly, electronic signatures or any other forms of acceptance permitted by law, will be given the same effect and weight as original signatures.
