Last Updated August 5, 2022

This COPYRIGHT LICENSE AGREEMENT for Apocalyptic Apes Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) (the “Agreement“), dated as of August 5, 2022 (the “Effective Date“), is made by and between the owner of the digital wallet containing the NFT (“Licensee” or “you”), and Apocalyptic Apes, LLC (“Licensor“), a State of California Limited Liability Company.

Apocalyptic Apes NFTs are a collection of 8,888 digital assets on the Ethereum blockchain. Each NFT represents a unique hash associated with an underlying work of art (“Art”). The Art resides on the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and is tied to a distinct content identifier (CID). All copyrights and trademarks associated with Apocalyptic Apes are owned by Licensor.

By receiving, whether by purchase, transfer, or other acquisition, an Apocalyptic Apes NFT and holding it in your digital wallet you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

The “Art” is defined as the imaged housed on the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and assigned to the NFT by the Content ID (CID) and is a part of the generative profile picture collection known as the Apocalyptic Apes.

The Licensor may modify this Agreement from time to time. It is your duty to ensure compliance with this Agreement.

Have fun with your Apocalyptic Ape. You have a broadly construed commercial use license to enjoy.

  3. Indemnification.

    3.1 Licensee Indemnification. Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, permitted assigns, and licensees the/each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, arising out of or in connection with any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (each a “Third-Party Claim”) relating to any actual or alleged breach by Licensee of its representations, warranties, covenants, or other obligations hereunder.

    3.2 Indemnification Procedure. The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Licensee on becoming aware of a Third-Party Claim under this Section 8. Licensee shall promptly assume control of the defense and investigation of the Third-Party Claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with Licensee in connection therewith, in each case, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim, with counsel of its own choosing and at its own cost and expense.

Neither the Indemnified Party’s failure to perform any obligation under this Section 8.2 nor any Indemnified Party’s act or omission in the defense or settlement of any such Third-Party Claim will relieve Licensee of its obligations under this Section 8.2, except to the extent that Licensee can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result thereof.
