1. Purpose

This NFT License (the "License") sets forth the terms and conditions governing use of content associated with the DESTIGER NFTs (the "NFTs"), including without limitation art, designs, illustrations, images, videos, and text (collectively, the "Artwork").

2. Definitions

  • "NFT" means a DESTIGER non-fungible token issued on the Ethereum blockchain.
  • "Holder" means any person or entity that, at a given time, holds an NFT in its wallet.
  • "Artwork" means all creative works linked to the NFT metadata (e.g., tokenURI, images, traits/attributes), including visual content, audio, and written materials.
  • "Commercial Use" means any use for commercial advantage or monetary compensation, including (without limitation) sale of products, advertising, monetization of content (e.g., YouTube/streaming), use within apps/web services, and production and sale of merchandise.

3. Ownership (Copyright) — Copyright Remains with the Licensor

  • Purchasing or holding an NFT does not transfer to the Holder any copyright (economic or moral rights) or any other intellectual property rights in the Artwork.
  • All copyrights and intellectual property rights in and to the Artwork are owned exclusively by the Licensor.
  • The Holder receives only the rights expressly granted under this License (a limited license to use the Artwork).

4. License Grant — Commercial Use Permitted

Subject to the Holder's continued ownership of the NFT, the Licensor grants the Holder the following license while the Holder owns the NFT:

  • Scope: A worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license.
  • Permitted Uses: The right to use, copy, display, distribute (including publication/posting), modify (including creation of derivative works), and commercially exploit the Artwork.
  • No Media Restrictions: The Artwork may be used in any and all media or formats, online or offline, including digital, print, video, images, products, and similar media.
  • Use by Service Providers: The Holder may provide the Artwork to third-party contractors and service providers (e.g., manufacturers, designers, agencies) solely for the purpose of exercising the Holder's rights under this License, provided that such parties use the Artwork only on the Holder's behalf and do not acquire any independent rights in the Artwork.

5. Transfer — The License Follows the NFT

  • If the Holder sells, transfers, or otherwise disposes of the NFT, the Holder's license under this License terminates immediately.
  • The new owner of the NFT automatically receives the same license under the terms of this License.
  • The Holder may not sell, assign, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the Artwork license independently of the NFT (except as expressly permitted for service providers in Section 4.4).

6. Prohibited Uses (Important)

The Holder may not:

  • Illegal/Harmful Uses: Use the Artwork in connection with illegal activities, hate or violence advocacy, discrimination, child exploitation, infringement of others' rights, defamation, fraud, phishing, impersonation, or similar harmful purposes.
  • False "Official" Claims: Use the Artwork in a manner that misleads others into believing the Holder, the Holder's products/services, or any usage is "official" or endorsed by the Licensor or the Project.
  • Trademark/Brand Infringement: Use or attempt to register the trademarks or brand elements described in Section 7 without authorization.
  • Standalone Resale of the Artwork: Sell or distribute the Artwork file "as-is" or on a standalone basis (e.g., selling the original image file separately or charging for downloads). However, Commercial Use in the form of goods, content, or services that incorporate the Artwork is permitted under this License.
  • Confusing New NFT Collections: Create or launch another NFT collection using the Artwork (or substantially similar style/characters) in a way that is likely to cause confusion regarding affiliation with the Project.

7. Trademarks and Brand Assets Are Separate — No Brand Rights Granted

  • "DESTIGER", "SAJUVERSE", and all related logos, slogans, UI elements, and other brand identifiers (the "Brand Assets") are owned by the Licensor and are not included in this License.
  • The Holder may not register trademarks or configure domain names/social accounts in a manner that suggests official affiliation with the Licensor or the Project.
  • Factual statements (e.g., "I own a DESTIGER NFT") are permitted.

8. Termination

  • If the Holder no longer owns the NFT, this License automatically terminates.
  • If the Holder violates any prohibited uses under this License, the Licensor may request that the violation be cured. If not cured, the Licensor may revoke/terminate this License.
  • Upon termination, the Holder must cease using the Artwork and, to the extent reasonably possible, remove the Artwork from posts, listings, and sold/offered materials.

9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

  • The Artwork and NFTs are provided "AS IS" without warranties, including without limitation fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.
  • The Licensor is not responsible for damages arising from events outside the Licensor's control, including blockchain network issues, wallet loss, hacks, or marketplace policy changes.
  • Where liability is established, the Licensor's liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Third-Party Platforms (e.g., OpenSea)

Even if NFTs are issued and traded on third-party platforms such as OpenSea, such platforms are not parties to this License. This License applies only between the Licensor (issuer) and the Holder.

11. Changes to This License

The Licensor may modify this License as necessary. Any changes will be announced via the Project's website/community notice channels. If a change materially and adversely affects the rights of existing NFT Holders, the Licensor will provide reasonable additional notice.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

1) General Rule (Governing Law / Venue)

This License shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. Any dispute between the Licensor (issuer) and the user/Holder arising out of or relating to this License, the NFT, or the related services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Seoul Central District Court.

2) Consumer Protection Carve-out (Mandatory Rules Prevail)

However, where the laws of the country/region in which the user resides include mandatory consumer protection provisions (including mandatory rules on governing law and/or jurisdiction), this Section shall apply only to the extent permitted by such mandatory provisions, and the user retains any rights available under those laws.

3) Notice for EEA / UK Consumers (If Applicable)

If the user is a consumer residing in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), applicable laws may allow the user, to the extent permitted, to bring claims before the courts of the user's country of residence.

13. Summary (For Convenience Only)

  • Copyright remains with the Licensor.
  • Holders receive a license permitting Commercial Use while they own the NFT.
  • When an NFT is transferred, the prior Holder's license ends and the new Holder's license begins.
