This "Owner Agreement" is by and between TuneGO, Inc. ("Licensor") and the individual or entity that owns the NFT (as defined below) (the "Owner"), and is effective as of the date ownership of the NFT is transferred to the Owner (the "Effective Date").
OWNER ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT AND UNDERSTANDING OF THIS OWNER AGREEMENT, AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS, IN THEIR ENTIRETY. OWNER'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE NFT SHALL BE DEEMED ACCEPTANCE OF AND CONSENT TO BE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF OWNER DOES NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, THE LICENSE CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER SHALL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE.
In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, and intending to be bound, the parties agree as follows:
Licenses & Restrictions.
NFT. The "NFT" sold or otherwise transferred to Owner pursuant to this Owner Agreement is a non-fungible token, ownership of which is registered on a blockchain. The NFT is associated with a single instance of a digital art or media file ("Digital Object"). As detailed below, Owner may own the token, but shall have only a limited license to the Digital Object, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Owner Agreement.
Digital Object. The Digital Object is subject to copyright and other intellectual property protections, which rights are and shall remain owned by Licensor or third parties.
License. Upon a valid transfer of the NFT to Owner, Licensor grants Owner a limited, non-sublicensable, license to use, publish, and display the Digital Object during the Term, subject to Owner's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Owner Agreement, including without limitation, the restrictions in Section 1.4 below, solely for the following purposes: (a) for his/her/its own personal, non-commercial use; (b) to list the Digital Object for resale or trade as part of an NFT marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of the NFT, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each NFT owner's rights to display the Digital Object associated with the NFT to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Digital Object; and/or (c) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of NFTs, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each NFT owner's rights to display the Digital Object associated with the NFT to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Digital Object (the "Owner License"). The Owner license is non-transferable and non-sublicensable, except that it will automatically transfer in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined below) of the NFT. Upon expiration of the Term or breach of any condition of this Owner Agreement by Owner, all license rights shall immediately terminate.
License Restrictions. The Digital Object provided pursuant to this Owner Agreement is licensed, not sold, and Owner receives no title to or ownership of the Digital Object or any associated intellectual property rights thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the license to the Digital Object does not grant Owner any right, title or interest in or to the individual layered files, traits or digital works associated with same (collectively, the "Layered Files"). Except for the express license granted to Owner by the Owner License, no other rights (express or implied) to the Digital Object are granted and all rights that are not specifically granted to Owner are reserved by Licensor. This includes, but is not limited to, the intellectual property rights, and publicity rights, associated with the images, names, logos, Layered Files, trademarks, the ability to mint 3D, voxel or other versions of the NFTs, the smart contract code, or anything else not specifically granted by the Owner License. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owner shall not, nor authorize, permit or assist any third party to, do or attempt to do any of the following: (a) copy, modify, create derivative works from, or distribute the Digital Object or the NFT; (b) display the Digital Object other than as expressly licensed in Section 1.3; (c) use the NFT or Digital Object to advertise, market, or sell a product and/or service; (d) incorporate the NFT or Digital Object in videos or other media; (e) sell merchandise incorporating the NFT or Digital Object; (f) attempt to register any trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Digital Object; (g) impose a fee or require other consideration for another to view the Digital Object; (h) use the Digital Object for its or any third party's commercial benefit; (i) use the Digital Object to create, sell or attempt to create or sell any new cryptographic token; or (j) fractionalize, pool, rent or stake the NFT or Digital Object, unless done so in compliance with all applicable laws, rules or regulations. Moreover, Owner agrees not to: (i) remove any copyright or other legal notices associated with the NFT or Digital Object; or (ii) remove or alter any metadata of the NFT, including without limitation, any link or other reference to this Owner Agreement. Failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Sections 1.3 and 1.4 hereof constitutes a material breach of this Owner Agreement.
Transfers. Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth herein, and payment to Licensor of the Resale Royalty (defined below), Owner may transfer ownership of the NFT, including without limitation, the Owner License to a third-party (a "Secondary Acquirer"), provided that: (a) Owner has not breached this Owner Agreement prior to the transfer; (b) the Owner License has not otherwise expired or terminated for any reason; (c) Owner notifies the Secondary Acquirer that any sale of the NFT by the Secondary Acquirer shall be subject to the Resale Royalty; (d) such transfer is conducted through a marketplace or other platform that cryptographically verifies that the Owner is the actual, current owner of the NFT; (e) such transfer complies with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, regulatory guidance, and terms of the marketplace or other platform on which such sale or transfer takes place; and (f) Owner ensures that the Secondary Acquirer is made aware of this Owner Agreement and agrees to be bound by its obligations and restrictions (a "Permitted Transfer"). Upon conclusion of a Permitted Transfer including acceptance of this Owner Agreement, Secondary Acquirer shall be deemed the Owner for purpose of this Owner Agreement. In no case shall the Owner License granted herein, or the Digital Object alone, be transferrable apart from ownership of the NFT. For clarity, only a single individual/entity may own the NFT at any time, and only that individual/entity has the Owner License. As used herein, the term "Resale Royalty" means the royalty amount Licensor shall receive for any sale of the NFT by the Owner, equal to 5% of the purchase price, taken from the Owner's or any Secondary Acquirer's (who becomes an Owner) sale proceeds. Owner shall pay any and all transaction fees, payment transfer fees and taxes (other than taxes on Licensor's net income) associated with the Permissible Transfer and shall not deduct any such amounts from the amount paid to Licensor as the Resale Royalty. To the extent a smart contract associated with the NFT is programmed to automatically transfer the Resale Royalty to Licensor, payment shall be deemed made when and if such Resale Royalty is actually paid to Licensor.
Warranty; Disclaimers and Assumption of Risk.
Owner Warranty. Owner represents and warrants that Owner: (a) is at least the age of majority in Owner's state of residence (which is typically 18 in most U.S. states) and has the legal capacity to enter into this Owner Agreement; (b) will use and interact with the NFT, including the Digital Object associated therewith, only for lawful purposes and in accordance with this Owner Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations; and (c) will not use the NFT, including the Digital Object associated therewith, to violate any law, regulation or ordinance or any right of Licensor or any third party, including without limitation, any right of privacy, publicity, copyright, trademark, and/or patent.
DISCLAIMER; ASSUMPTION OF RISK. THE NFT AND ASSOCIATED DIGITAL OBJECT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY, "COVERED PARTIES") DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THOSE RELATED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE NFT OR THE ASSOCIATED DIGITAL OBJECT WILL MEET OWNER'S REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS. Further, Licensor provides no warranty regarding, and will have no responsibility for, any claim arising out of: (a) a modification of the NFT or ASSOCIATED Digital Object made by anyone other than Licensor, unless Licensor approves such modification in writing IN ADVANCE; (b) Owner's misuse of or misrepresentation regarding the NFT or ASSOCIATED Digital Object; (c) the fluctuation in value of the NFT; AND/or (d) any technology that fails to perform or ceases to exist.
FURTHER, OWNER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT Ownership of, and transactions involving, the NFT may require or rely on third-party technology and/or platforms, including without limitation digital walletS, blockchainS or related technology, smart contracts, Internet service providers, marketplaces, equipment or other infrastructure (collectively, "Third Party Technology"). OWNER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT The existence and performance of Third Party Technology are outside of Licensor's control. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR THE USE, UNAVAILABILITY, OR FAILURE OF ANY THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY.
THE NFTS ARE INTENDED AS COLLECTIBLE ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL ENJOYMENT ONLY. THEY ARE NOT MEANT AS INVESTMENT VEHICLES. LICENSOR MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO PROMISE OR GUARANTEE THAT THE NFTS WILL INCREASE IN VALUE, OR MAINTAIN THE SAME VALUE AS THE AMOUNT OWNER PAID TO PURCHASE SAME. OWNER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE NFTS HAVE NO INHERENT MONETARY VALUE, AND THEY SHOULD BE TREATED AS NOTHING MORE THAN COLLECTIBLES WITH POTENTIAL FUTURE VALUE OR LACK THEREOF. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE PRICES OF NFTS ARE EXTREMELY VOLATILE, AND PRICE FLUCTUATIONS IN ETH COULD IMPACT THE PRICE OF NFTS BOTH POSITIVELY AND NEGATIVELY. GIVEN THIS VOLATILITY, NFTS SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED INVESTMENTS. OWNER ASSUMES ALL RISKS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. NO INFORMATION AND/OR CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE BY AND/OR THROUGH THE SITE OR OTHERWISE BY LICENSOR IS OR SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ADVICE OR AN INVITATION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR ANY INVESTMENT PURPOSE. FURTHER, NO ELEMENT OF THE NFTS QUALIFIES OR IS INTENDED TO BE AN OFFERING OF SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION, NOR DOES IT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OR AN INVITATION TO PURCHASE SHARES, SECURITIES OR OTHER FINANCIAL PRODUCTS. OWNER IS SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSURING THAT THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF NFTS, AND THE USE OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES, COMPLIES THE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN OWNER'S JURISDICTION. OWNER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USING AN INTERNET-BASED CRYPTOCURRENCY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RISK OF HARDWARE, SOFTWARE AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS, THE RISK OF MALICIOUS SOFTWARE INTRODUCTION, AND THE RISK THAT THIRD PARTIES MAY OBTAIN UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO INFORMATION STORED WITHIN OWNER'S WALLET. NFTS, CRYPTOCURRENCIES AND BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY ARE RELATIVELY NEW AND THE REGULATORY LANDSCAPE IS UNSETTLED. NEW REGULATIONS COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT SUCH TECHNOLOGIES WHICH MAY, IN TURN, IMPACT THE VALUE OF OWNER'S NFTS. OWNER UNDERSTANDS AND ACCEPTS ALL RISK IN THAT REGARD. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, OWNER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS OF DISRUPTIONS OR OTHER ISSUES IMPACTING THE APPLICABLE CRYPTOCURRENCY AND/OR BLOCKCHAIN.

Term & Termination.
Term. This Owner Agreement shall continue until terminated pursuant to the terms of this Owner Agreement (the "Term").

Any provision of this Owner Agreement that must survive to fulfill its essential purpose will survive termination or expiration.
Miscellaneous.
Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors and shall so represent themselves in all regards. Neither party is the agent of the other, and neither may make commitments on the other's behalf.
Force Majeure. No delay, failure, or default, other than a failure to pay fees when due, will constitute a breach of this Owner Agreement to the extent caused by acts of war, terrorism, hurricanes, earthquakes, epidemics, other acts of God or of nature, strikes or other labor disputes, riots or other acts of civil disorder, embargoes, government orders responding to any of the foregoing, or other causes beyond the performing party's reasonable control.

Any purported assignment or transfer by Owner in violation of this Section 5.3 is null and void.
Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law that would render any clause of this Owner Agreement invalid or otherwise unenforceable in any respect.

No Waiver. Neither party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under this Owner Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an authorized representative in an explicit written waiver. No waiver of a breach of this Owner Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other breach of this Owner Agreement.
