(“ATANA CONSULTING CORP.”). By acquiring any non-fungible blockchain-based digital token (“NFT”) associated with Third Party Content (as defined below) through the Website or by subsequently acquiring any such NFT from any previous owner of the NFT, you agree to be bound by these Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE WEBSITE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Website from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms at any time and for any reason. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms by your continued use of the Website after the date such revised Terms are posted.
YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE IS SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION. PLEASE SEE THE ARBITRATION SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.
1. Each NFT made available by ATANA CONSULTING CORP. through the Website is associated with certain digital works of authorship or other content, whether or not copyrighted or copyrightable, and regardless of the format in which any of the foregoing is made available (“Related Content”). Related Content is separate from the associated NFT, and is not sold or otherwise transferred to you but is instead licensed to you as set forth in these Terms. A “Digital Collectible” consists of the applicable NFT originally acquired through the Website and the license rights granted pursuant to these Terms for the Related Content.
When you purchase an NFT, you own only the non-fungible token associated with the NFT, and not any Related Content or third-party intellectual property rights (including, but not limited to, patent, copyright, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights) that may be associated with the NFT. You expressly acknowledge that you do not own any of the Related Content or third-party intellectual property rights (including, but not limited to, patent, copyright, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights) associated with your purchased NFT.
2. These Terms apply when any of the Related Content for a particular NFT is owned, in whole or in part, by a third party (“Third Party Content”). The description on the Website of the applicable NFT or Digital Collectible will include information about whether the Related Content for that particular NFT or Digital Collectible includes any Third Party Content. Certain Third Party Content may also be subject to Additional Terms as defined in Section 18. If all Related Content for that NFT or Digital Collectible is owned by ATANA CONSULTING CORP., different terms will apply.
3. The licenses granted pursuant to these Terms are granted by any third party identified in the Digital Collectible description as an owner of any Third Party Content, and by ATANA CONSULTING CORP. for any Related Content owned by ATANA CONSULTING CORP (as applicable, the “Rights Owner”). Subject to your compliance with these Terms (including any Additional Terms, as defined in Section 18 below), for as long as you own the applicable NFT, the Rights Owners grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, worldwide license under any copyright owned by the Rights Owners in any Related Content to display and perform the Related Content for personal, non-commercial use.
4. Section 3 sets forth all of your license rights hereunder with respect to any Related Content. There are no other license rights, whether express or implied, with respect to any of the Related Content or any derivative works thereof, and no license rights are granted under any patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right other than any copyright owned or controlled by any Rights Owner. This is true even if exercise of any license rights granted herein would be prevented, frustrated or impaired without such a license. Without limiting the foregoing, the licenses granted herein do not grant you the right to, and you will not, and you will not authorize, permit or assist any third party to:
(a) exercise any of the license rights granted herein in any way that results in direct or indirect, compensation, financial benefit or commercial gain of any kind to you or any third party, whether currently realized or to be provided in the future and regardless of the nature thereof (whether monetary, conveyance of assets, in-kind products or services or other item or service of value);
(b) copy any Related Content (other than temporary copies stored in short term memory on your device for purposes of displaying or performing the Related Content on your device) or store the Related Content on any device or computer owned or controlled by you;
(c) modify or create any derivative work of any Related Content;
(d) delete, remove or obscure any trademark notice, copyright notice or other intellectual property notice in any Related Content;
(e) exercise any license rights herein to create, endorse, support, promote or condone any content, material or speech that is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, abusive, offensive, harassing, violent, hateful, racist, discriminatory, inflammatory or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate as determined by ATANA CONSULTING CORP. at its discretion;
(f) exercise any of the license rights granted herein to advertise, market, or sell merchandise or any third party product or services;
(g) attempt to trademark, copyright, or acquire any other intellectual property rights in the Related Content or Third Party Content;
(h) reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to discover the source code for any NFT or Related Content except to the extent that applicable law permits you to do so notwithstanding this prohibition; or
(i) use any Related Content in any manner not expressly authorized herein or exercise any license rights herein in any manner that violates applicable law.
In the event any additional restrictions exist regarding the nature and/or use of the Related Content or third-party intellectual property rights (including, but not limited to, patent, copyright, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights) that may be associated with the NFT, we will notify you of such additional restrictions, and you agree that you will be solely responsible for complying with all such restrictions. Failure to comply with the aforementioned restrictions and/or any additional restrictions shall be deemed a breach of the license terms contained within these Terms.
5. The Rights Owners retain all right, title and interest in the Related Content and all copyright or other intellectual property rights in any Related Content. Except for the license rights expressly granted in Section 3, above, you do not have and will not have any right, title or interest in or to any Related Content. Without limiting the foregoing, the Related Content may include trade names, brands, logos, trademarks, names, likenesses, images or other personal characteristics of persons or characters (“Embedded IP”). Your use of such Embedded IP is limited to use in connection with the exercise of your license rights under these Terms and subject to all limitations set forth herein and any other restrictions that ATANA CONSULTING CORP. may inform you of in the future. You may not use any such Embedded IP in connection with any business, product or service, or in any manner that may imply endorsement of any business, message, product or service, or that is likely to cause confusion or dilute, blur or tarnish such Embedded IP. All use of such Embedded IP, including any goodwill generated by such use, will inure to the benefit of the applicable Rights Owner.
6. You will not create, sell or attempt to create or sell, fractionalized interests in the NFT or the Digital Collectible, or separate, unlink or decouple the Related Content from the NFT with which it is associated.
7. To the extent that you are not prohibited from doing so by any other terms or conditions applicable to a particular NFT or Digital Collectible, you may transfer the NFT to a third party, provided that the following conditions are met:
(a) such transfer is conducted through a marketplace or other platform that permits the purchase and sale of NFTs and cryptographically verifies that you are the actual owner of the applicable NFT;
(b) such transfer must comply with (i) any applicable terms of the marketplace or other platform on which such sale or other transfer takes place and (ii) any applicable laws, regulations, regulatory guidance, and rules;
(c) prior to such sale or other transfer, you must (i) provide written notice to the would-be transferee that such transferee’s exercise of the license rights included as part of the NFT or Digital Collectible will be conditional upon such transferee agreeing to be bound by these Terms, and (ii)ensure that such transferee is provided with an opportunity to review these Terms; and
(d) after such transfer, your right to display and perform the Related Content and all other license rights under these Terms will immediately terminate (without the requirement of notice).
8. Upon transfer of any NFT, in consideration of the transfer of the license rights set forth in these Terms, the ongoing hosting of any Related Content and any other associated services, you will pay (or caused to be paid to) ATANA CONSULTING CORP. a fee in an amount calculated by multiplying the total amount paid by the acquiror for the NFT (without any deductions of any kind) by the percentage for the applicable NFT specified atTransfer Fees(the “Transfer Fee”). If the platform or service used to facilitate the transfer captures and pays the full amount of the Transfer Fee directly to ATANA CONSULTING CORP. then you will have no obligation to pay any additional amounts. You will pay any and all transaction fees, payment transfer fees and taxes (other than taxes on ATANA CONSULTING CORP.’s net income) associated with the transfer and will not deduct any such amounts from the amount paid to ATANA CONSULTING CORP. All amounts owed hereunder will be paid in US Dollars or in a cryptocurrency acceptable to ATANA CONSULTING CORP. and will be paid to the account or digital wallet designated by ATANA CONSULTING CORP.
We are not responsible for determining the withholding, sales, use, value added, transfer or other taxes, together with any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto (“Taxes”), that may apply to your transfer of an NFT. You agree that you are solely responsible for determining what, if any, Taxes apply to your transactions and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amounts of Taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities.

IN ALL EVENTS, EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE.

ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. IF A COURT DECIDES THAT APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS PARAGRAPH’S PROHIBITIONS ON CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS AS TO ANY CLAIM, THEN THAT CLAIM (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM) MUST BE SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND RESOLVED IN COURT, SUBJECT TO YOUR AND OUR RIGHT TO APPEAL THE COURT’S DECISIONS.

The Parties agree that the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a party; (b) any dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. All disputes not subject to the Agreement to Arbitrate will be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in California in the state of California and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such state and federal courts and waive any defense of forum non conveniens.
20. These Terms do not, and may not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture or agency between you and ATANA CONSULTING CORP. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and otherwise deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The failure of ATANA CONSULTING CORP. to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any of the provisions of these Terms or to exercise any rights or remedies under these Terms will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of ATANA CONSULTING CORP.’s right to assert or rely upon any such provisions, rights or remedies in that or any other instance; rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect.
