- THE SITE.
To use the Site, you will need to have a web browser and the Phantom Wallet (www.phantom.app) or similar to interact with the Solana network. All transactions regarding Monks are managed and confirmed on the Solana blockchain. You understand that your Solana public address may be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction. We do not own nor control your web browser, Phantom Wallet, or similar wallets on the Solana network, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to interact with the Site. We are not liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties. Any tools or calculations that are displayed on the App or otherwise provided on the Site are for informational and entertainment purposes only. These calculations are in no way predictions of any value associated with MONKS and you agree that you will not construe any such tools or calculations as predictions of future prices or values in any way or that we are giving you any advice on any value associated with the Monks. For the avoidance of doubt, the Monks are finished products and any additional tools, gamification, folklore, online communities or calculations provided on the Site are solely for entertainment purposes. All decisions are made in your sole discretion without reliance on any information provided on the Site. There will be a total of 8,888 Monks initially minted for sale. All sales are final and we do not guarantee that all interested buyers will be able to purchase a Monks before they are sold out. We disclaim all liability in connection with the purchase of any Monks. It is your responsibility to ensure that your purchase of any Monks has been completed. We reserve the right to terminate or end the initial sale of Monks at any time. - OWNERSHIP; LICENSE; RESTRICTIONS.
Definitions. (i) “Art” means any art, design, and drawings that may be associated with a MONK that you Own. (ii) “Own” means, with respect to a Monk, a Monk that you have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired from a legitimate source, where proof of such purchase is recorded on the Solana blockchain. (iii) “Purchased Monk” means a Monk that you Own. (iv) “Third Party IP” means any third-party patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how or any other intellectual property rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction in the world. - Ownership. (i) When you purchase a Monk, you own only the NFT, not any associated Art. Each Monk is associated with an NFT on the Solana blockchain. When you acquire a Monk, you own the NFT, not the associated Art, or any other Monk Materials (as that term is defined below), or any Third Party IP. You can trade the NFT, sell it, or give it away for free similarly to physical artwork. Ownership of the NFT is governed solely by the Smart Contract and the Solana Network. (ii) We Own the Site, and the Site includes the Art. You acknowledge and agree that we (or, as applicable, our licensors) own all legal right, title and interest in and to all other elements of the Site, and all intellectual property rights therein (including, without limitation, all Art, designs, names, copyrights, trademarks, patents, systems, methods, information, computer code, software, services, “look and feel”, organization, compilation of the content, code, data, and all other elements of the Site (collectively, the “Monk Materials”)). Other than expressly stated in these Terms, you do not have any other rights in the Monk Materials. You acknowledge that the Monk Materials are protected by, as applicable, copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and applicable laws. All Monk Materials are the copyrighted property of us or our licensors, and all trademarks, service marks, and trade names associated with the App or otherwise contained in the Monk Materials are proprietary to us or our licensors. You may not use the Monk name without our prior written consent. Except as expressly set forth herein, your use of the Site does not grant you ownership of or any other rights with respect to any Art, content, code, data, or other Monk Materials that you may access on or through the Site. We reserve all rights in and to the Monk Materials that are not expressly granted to you in these Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, you understand and agree: (a) that your acquisition or purchase of a Monk, whether via the Site or otherwise, does not give you any rights or licenses in or to the Monk Materials (including, without limitation, our copyright in and to the associated Art or the Monk name/trademark) other than those expressly contained in these Terms; (b) that you do not have the right, except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, to reproduce, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any elements of the Monk Materials (including, without limitation, any Art) without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion; and (c) that you will not apply for, register, or otherwise use or attempt to use any Monk trademarks or service marks, or any confusingly similar marks, anywhere in the world without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion.
- License to Art. (i) General Use. Subject to your full and continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited worldwide, non-exclusive, non transferable, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the Art of your Purchased Monks solely for the following purposes: (a) for your own personal, non-commercial use; (b) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Purchased Monks, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Monk owner’s rights to display the Art for their Purchased Monk to ensure that only the actual owner of the NFT can display the Art; or (c) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your Purchased Monks, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each Monk owner’s rights to display the Art for their Purchased Monks to ensure that only the actual owner of the NFT can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the Purchased MONKS leaves or logs out of the applicable website/application. (ii) Non-digital Commercial Use. Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, copy, and display the Art for your Purchased MONK for the purpose of commercializing your own physical merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Art for your Purchased MONK (“Commercial Use”), provided that such Commercial Use does not (a) include any form of collaboration or involvement of any brand or other third party, or (b) result in you earning more than USD$100,000 in gross revenue each year. In the event your Commercial Use exceeds USD$100,000 in a given year, you will need to enter into a commercial license with us. If you exceed the USD$100,000 limitation, you will be in breach of these Terms, and must contact us regarding entering into a broader license agreement (which will be in our sole and absolute discretion). Without entering into a commercial license with us, you acknowledge and agree that: (x) you are in breach of these Terms; (y) in addition to any remedies that may be available to us at law or in equity, we may immediately terminate the license granted above; and (z) you will be liable and responsible to reimburse us for any costs and expenses incurred by us during the course of enforcing these Terms against you (including attorney and legal fees).
- Restrictions. You agree that you may not, nor permit any third party to do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without our express prior written consent in each case: (i) modify the Art for your Purchased Monks in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes; (ii) use the Art for your Purchased Monks to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (iii) use the Art for your Purchased Monks 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 incite violence or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; (iv) use the Art for your Purchased Monks 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 Art for your Purchased Monks, except as expressly permitted in these Terms; (vi) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Art for your Purchased Monks; or (vii) otherwise utilize the Art for your Purchased Monks for your or any third party’s commercial benefit. To the extent that Art associated with your Purchased MONK contains Third Party IP (e.g., licensed intellectual property from a celebrity, athlete, or other public figure), you understand and agree as follows: (w) that you will not have the right to use such Third Party IP in any way except as incorporated in the Art, and subject to the license and restrictions contained herein; (x) that the Commercial Use license in Section 2.C(ii) above will not apply; (y) that, depending on the nature of the license granted from the owner of the Third Party IP, we may need to pass through additional restrictions on your ability to use the Art; and (z) to the extent that we inform you of such additional restrictions in writing (email being acceptable), you will be responsible for complying with all such restrictions from the date that you receive the notice, and that failure to do so will be deemed a breach of this license. For the avoidance of doubt, it is strictly prohibited and a violation of these Terms to use any Art or Purchased MONKS in order to create a similar or derivative NFT based on the Art or Purchased MONKS. Such use constitutes a violation of these Terms as well as intellectual property infringement, which would cause monetary damages and irreparable harm to us. The restrictions in this Section will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms.
- Other Terms of License. The license granted in Section 2.C above applies only to the extent that you continue to Own the applicable Purchased MONKS. If at any time you sell, trade, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your Purchased Monk for any reason, the license granted in Section 2.C will immediately expire with respect to you and that MONK without requiring notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the Art for that MONK.
- Feedback. You may submit comments, bug reports, ideas or other feedback about the App (collectively, “Feedback”). You hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license under all rights necessary for us to incorporate and use your Feedback for any purpose. By submitting Feedback, you agree that we are free to use such Feedback at our discretion and without additional compensation to you, and to disclose such Feedback to third parties.
- Use of the MONKS name. Notwithstanding any contained in these Terms, You agree that you will not use the MONKS name for any purpose without obtaining our prior written consent. Approval shall be determined in our sole discretion. Furthermore, non-response to a request for such approval shall not be deemed an approval.
- Your Obligations. You are solely responsible for your own conduct while accessing or using the Site, and for any consequences thereof. You agree to use the Site only for purposes that are legal, proper and in accordance with these Terms and any applicable laws or regulations. By way of example, and not as a limitation, you may not, and may not allow any third party to: (i) send, upload, distribute or disseminate any unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, hateful, violent, obscene, or otherwise objectionable content; (ii) distribute viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, corrupted files, hoaxes, or any other items of a destructive or deceptive nature; (iii) impersonate another person; (iv) upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Site any content that infringes the intellectual property or proprietary rights of any party or otherwise violates the legal rights of others; (v) engage in, promote, or encourage illegal activity (including, without limitation, money laundering); (vi) interfere with other users’ use of the Site; (vii) use the Site for any unauthorized commercial purpose; (viii) modify, adapt, translate, or reverse engineer any portion of the Site; (ix) remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices contained in or on the Site or any part of it; (x) use any technology to collect information about the Site for any unauthorized purpose; (xi) access or use the App for the purpose of creating a product or service that is competitive with any of our products or services.

- SOLANA FEES AND PAYMENTS.
Any final acquisition or purchase of MONKS will be conducted solely through the Solana network, though the Site may serve as a platform to facilitate such transactions. We have no control over these transactions as or once they occur, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. You agree that we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions pertaining to the Smart Contracts or the Site, or any other transactions that are conducted via the Solana network. The Solana network requires the payment of a transaction fee for every transaction that occurs on the Solana network. This fee funds the network of computers that run the Solana network. This means that you will need to pay any such fees for each transaction. - DISCLAIMERS.

- RISKS. You accept and acknowledge the following risks: (a) The prices of blockchain assets and cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your MONKS, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any MONKS purchased will retain their original value. MONKS have no inherent or intrinsic value. For the avoidance of doubt, your purchase of MONKS should not be considered an investment. (b) You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your MONK-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to any of your transactions. (c) The Site does not store, send, or receive MONKS. MONKS exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the blockchain in the Solana network. Any transfer of MONKS occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Solana network.

You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Solana network, however caused. (e) A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the MONKS and, including but not limited to, the value of the MONKS. (f) The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is highly uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the MONKS, and therefore the potential value of MONKS. (g) Upgrades by Solana to the Solana network, a hard fork in the Solana network, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Solana network may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the Solana NFT Metaplex standard or similar, including the MONKS.
