3. NFT License #1.
3.1. Some Digital Content sold on the Platform may include NFTs. When selling or purchasing an NFT, you agree and understand what characteristics NFTs have and how the following terms apply to their sale. An NFT is a digital tool that can represent real-world objects such as photographs, videos, writings, or music. NFTs are usually built using similar technology to digital currencies. But while digital currencies are usually fungible, NFTs usually are not. Each NFT is coded into a blockchain, and contains built-in methods for evidence of authentication and proof of ownership. When you buy an NFT, the terms of your purchase, and the rights you actually purchase and own, may be limited by the terms or technology of the underlying NFT. Some NFTs may include a right to redeem the physical item to which the NFT relates to. In such instances, once the NFT has been redeemed, the NFT will remain in circulation, but the redemption right will be terminated. It is up to you to confirm your understanding of what you are selling or buying and the license you are receiving which is determined by the Seller in its sole discretion and if no custom license is provided by Seller to Buyer at the point of sale for an item, such as an NFT and its related Content, then the NFT Owner Content License (“NOCL”) provided below shall apply as between Seller and Buyer. The license to any purchased NFT is a matter between the Seller and Buyer, and Mason is not a party to the licensing transaction. All licenses and all ownership interests in any Digital Content, such as NFTs, shall pass directly from Seller to Buyer.
3.2. You further understand that blockchain transactions are usually not reversible. You understand that NFTs and other Digital Content may only exist by virtue of the ownership record maintained on a blockchain, and further that smart contracts are conducted and occur on decentralized ledgers. Mason has no control over and makes no guarantees or promises with respect to such smart contracts or the functioning of such blockchain or the persistence, or lack thereof, of the NFT or related content. In cases where a transaction involving Digital Content is revealed to be fraudulent or illegal or an infringement, or a Buyer or Seller acts fraudulently or illegally or in an infringing manner, then the defrauded or injured Buyer/Seller shall have no recourse against Mason, but solely against the respective Seller/Buyer.
