# Art Contribution Agreement This Art Contribution Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you (“you”), the person identified as contributor digitally signing the agreement, and Nouns Foundation, a Cayman Islands foundation company (“we” or “us”), and is entered into as of the date of the digital signature. This Agreement applies to the Contribution (as defined below) submitted by you to be used by us and other users of our platform, available at https://nouns.wtf/ (the “Platform”). ## 1 - Definitions - “Contribution” means any artwork, images, or pixels, as identified the digital signature of this Agreement, submitted by you to us or to the Platform for use in connection with Nouns. - “Nouns” means the non-fungible tokens issued daily pursuant to the Nouns protocol as displayed and described on the Platform. ## 2 - CC0 License Purpose You acknowledge and agree that with respect to any Contributions that are submitted by you, we intend to apply Creative Commons CC0 to such Contributions, a copy of which is available at https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode. This is so that the public (including us and other users of the Platform) can reliably and without fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse, and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes such Contributions. You hereby authorize us to apply Creative Commons CC0 to your Contributions. ## 3 - Waiver To accomplish the purposes of Section 2 above, you agree that for any Contribution submitted by you, to the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of applicable law, you hereby permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waive, abandon, and surrender all of your copyright and related or neighboring rights (“Copyright and Related Rights”) and associated claims and causes of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of action), in the Contribution (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the “Waiver”). You make the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the detriment of your heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the enjoyment of the Contribution by us and users of the Platform as contemplated by Section 2 above. ## 4 - License Fallback Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account the purpose of making the Contributions available to the public, as specified in Section 2 above. In addition, to the extent the Waiver is so judged invalid or ineffective, you hereby grant to us, each owner of a Noun, and each user of our Platform a royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise your Copyright and Related Rights in the Contribution (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the “License”). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date the Contribution was submitted. Should any part of the License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case you hereby affirm that you will not (a) exercise any of your remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Contribution or (b) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the Contribution, in either case contrary to purpose set forth in Section 2 above. ## 5 - Representations and Warranties You represent and warrant that (i) you are legally entitled to grant the waivers and licenses set forth in Sections 3 and 4, (ii) each of your Contributions is your original creation, (iii) your Contributions do not include any third-party license or other restriction (including related copyrights) of which you are personally aware and which are associated with any part of your Contributions. You will notify us of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make the foregoing representations inaccurate in any respect or would call into question the grants of rights hereunder. ## 6 - Miscellaneous We may freely assign this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of California. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create an employment or agency relationship between you and us or any other recipients or contributors of products or other items distributed or managed by the Platform. In no event shall you be entitled to seek rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief, or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Platform, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith, or exploitation of the Platform, the Nouns, or any content or other material used or displayed through the Platform.
