LICENSE GRANT
Volcaneers NFT Art License. For as long as you lawfully own your Volcaneers NFT, and subject to your compliance with the terms of this License, we hereby grant you the following rights:

1. A non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, license to use, reproduce, display, modify, and create derivative works of the Volcaneers NFT Art for your Volcaneers NFT for personal, non-commercial use (such as to display in your wallet, as a profile picture, to create a pixel-art version for use in a third party platform);

2. A non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable (but only to service providers assisting you with a Commercial Use) license to use, copy, reproduce and display the Volcaneers NFT Art for your Volcaneers NFT for any Commercial Use. The license in this sub-section (2) does not include a right to create derivative works of the Volcaneers NFT Art except as necessary to adapt and depict the Volcaneers NFT Art in or on the goods or media created pursuant to this license, or as otherwise required in the “No Rights to Trademarks” Section below. But this license does permit you to mint and create new NFTs and NFT projects based on your Volcaneers NFT Art for Volcaneers NFTs that you own, as long as you don't use the Volcaneers Trademarks on, or to promote, such new NFTs. From time to time, we may collaborate with third parties to create Volcaneers NFTs which include artwork, images, works of authorship, logos, trademarks, service marks, or trade dress owned by a third party (“Third Party Content”). The license in this paragraph does not extend to any Volcaneers NFT or Volcaneers NFT Art that contains Third Party Content, and you may not use, copy, reproduce, display, create derivative works of, or create new NFTs based on such Third Party Content, or any portion thereof, for any Commercial Use, unless we or the applicable third parties expressly provide our consent in writing or by public announcement.
MODIFICATIONS AND DERIVATIVE WORKS
We recognize that you might want to create modifications and derivative works of your Volcaneers NFT Art, and we allow you to do so under the scope of the licenses granted above. However, you acknowledge and agree that Paima Studios may also modify, create derivative works of, and update any Volcaneers NFT Art and may create works of authorship similar or identical to your own adaptations, derivative works, and modifications of any Volcaneers NFT Art. Accordingly, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, successors and assigns, you irrevocably covenant and agree not to assert or bring any suit, claim, demand or challenge against Paima Studios or its affiliates or licensees in connection with their use of any Volcaneers NFT Art or any adaptations, derivative works, and modifications thereto, even if such artwork or content is similar to or the same as any adaptations, derivative works, or modifications in any Volcaneers NFT Art that have been created by you.

No Rights to Trademarks. Nothing in this License will be interpreted to grant you any rights to any Volcaneers Trademarks belonging to Paima Studios. Without our written permission, you may not use any Volcaneers Trademarks for any Commercial Use, including to register any domain names or social media accounts using any Volcaneers Trademarks. This includes any Volcaneers Trademarks that may be displayed or contained in any Volcaneers NFT Art for your Volcaneers NFT (and you will need to modify the Volcaneers NFT Art to remove or obfuscate such Volcaneers Trademarks before making any Commercial Use of such Volcaneers NFT Art). You may not remove, delete or obscure any trademark notice, copyright notice or other intellectual property notice in any Volcaneers NFT or Volcaneers NFT Art.

Transfer. The licenses granted above are non-transferrable, except that if you sell or transfer your Volcaneers NFT, you will no longer be granted the foregoing licenses in the Volcaneers NFT Art, and such license will transfer to the new owner of the Volcaneers NFT associated with such Volcaneers NFT Art. In connection with any sales, transfers or similar transactions of the Volcaneers NFTs, the transferee agrees that by purchasing, accepting, or otherwise acquiring the Volcaneers NFT, they shall be deemed to accept the terms of this License. You may not transfer an Volcaneers NFT to a transferee that is located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist-supporting country; or is otherwise listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Restrictions. Notwithstanding any of the above, you may not use the Volcaneers NFT Art in any way that constitutes unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, racist, hateful, vulgar, cruel, illegal or obscene activity, or that promotes any such activity.

Reservation of Rights. All rights in and to the Volcaneers NFT Art and any other intellectual property of Paima Studios not expressly licensed herein are hereby reserved by Paima Studios. All goodwill arising from any use of the Volcaneers Trademarks will insure solely to Paima Studios and its affiliates.
