What am I allowed to do with the art associated with my NFT?

You have broad rights to use the art associated with your NFT. In the case of Multiverse of Women (MoW), you can do any of the following:

Use the MoW art for your own personal, non-commercial use;

Use the MoW art when you’re on a marketplace that allows the purchase and sale of your MoW, so long as the marketplace cryptographically verifies that you are the owner;

Use the MoW art when you’re on a third-party website or app that allows the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your MoW, so long as the website/app cryptographically verifies that you are the owner, and the MoW art doesn’t stay on the website/app after you’ve left; and

Use the MoW art to commercialize your own merchandise, provided that you aren’t earning more than $100,000 in revenue each year from doing so.

What am I NOT allowed to do with the art associated with my NFT?

There are a few things that aren’t appropriate uses for your NFT art. They include:

Modifying the art;

Using the art to market or sell third-party products;

Using the art in connection with images of hatred, violence, or other inappropriate behaviour; or

Trying to trademark your art, or otherwise acquire intellectual property rights in it.

What does “personal, non-commercial use” mean?

It’s personal, non-commercial use if you’re copying or using your NFT art in a way that doesn’t involve selling or using it (or trying to sell or use it) for commercial gain. Some examples of personal, non-commercial use include:

• Printing a copy of your NFT art on a t-shirt or hat that you wear yourself, or give to a small group of friends;
• Commissioning a famous painter to paint a special painting of your MoW art, that you put on your wall at home; or
• Making a video using your MoW art, that you share with your family or a small group of friends.

What does “cryptographically verify” mean, and why is it important?

The goal is to make sure that you enjoy the full benefits of NFT ownership. First and foremost, that means making every effort to make sure that only the real owner of the NFT gets to use the art associated with it. We want any marketplace or third party site/app that incorporates NFTs to check to confirm that anyone placing art on that marketplace/site/app actually owns the associated NFT. They can do this by checking the blockchain record. This way, only you can use the NFT art you own!
