PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE.
Ex Sports is a distributed App that runs on the Ethereum / Polygon network, using specially-developed smart contracts (each, a “Smart Contract”) to enable users to buy, trade and sell digital sports collectibles featuring real athletes ("Collectibles") on the Ex Sports website at https://marketplace.ex-sports.io/ ("Site"). The Smart Contracts, the Site and the Software are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “App”. Using the App, users can view their Collectibles and use the Smart Contracts to buy, trade and sell the Collectibles with other App users.
For the purposes of this Section 6, the following capitalized terms will have the following meanings:
“Image” means any name, face, photograph, picture, depiction, figure, painting, portrait, drawing, sketch, representation, signature, likeness, attributes and/or biographical material that may be associated with a Collectible, Product, Service or the App featuring the athlete.
“Extensions” means third party designs that: (i) are intended for use as extensions or overlays to the Image, (ii) do not modify the underlying Image, and (iii) can be removed at any time without affecting the underlying Image.
“Own” means, with respect to a Collectible, a Collectible that you have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired from a legitimate source, where proof of such purchase is recorded on the relevant blockchain.
“Purchased Collectible” means a Collectible that you Own.
“Third Party IP” means any third party patent rights (including, without limitation, patent applications and disclosures), copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how or any other intellectual property rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction in the world.
Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, Company grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, royalty-free, personal and limited license to use, copy, and display the Image for your Purchased Collectibles, along with any Extensions that you choose to create or use, solely for the following purposes: (i) for your own personal, non-commercial use; (ii) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase, sale, trade, donation, gift, transfer or disposal of your Purchased Collectible, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Collectible owner’s rights to display the Image for their Purchased Collectible to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Image; or (iii) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your Purchased Collectible, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each Collectible owner’s rights to display the Image for their Purchased Collectible to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Image, and provided that the Image is no longer visible once the owner of the Purchased Collectible leaves the website/application. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by the Company and its licensors.
You agree that you may not, nor permit any third party to do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without Company’s express prior written consent in each case: (i) modify the Image for your Purchased Collectible in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes (your use of Extensions will not constitute a prohibited modification hereunder); (ii) use the Image for your Purchased Collectible to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (iii) use the Image for your Purchased Collectible in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; (iv) use the Image for your Purchased Collectible in movies, videos, or any other forms of media, except to the limited extent that such use is expressly permitted in these Terms or solely for your own personal, non-commercial use; (v) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Image for your Purchased Collectible; (vi) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Image for your Purchased Collectible; or (vii) otherwise utilize the Image for your Purchased Collectible for your or any third party’s commercial benefit.
