3. GRANT PARAMETERS

3.1 The Accessible IP is provided via a decentralized blockchain-based network (the “Network”) that enables permanent data storage of the Accessible IP and Accessible IP Owner to add parameters (“Grant Parameters”) to the scope of the Grant through “tags”. The “tags” below determine the scope of your use of the Accessible IP. The specific tags and values that Accessible IP Owner has selected and that define your Grant Parameters may be set forth in an addendum or annex to this Access Agreement.

Further, the “Category-Specific-Derivatives-Cap” subtag does not apply if the Accessible IP is a Cognitive Engine Accessible IP (and even if such subtag has been accidentally tagged by Accessible IP Owner for such a Cognitive Engine Accessible IP, the subtag will have no effect on the Grant for such Cognitive Engine Accessible IP):

(a) Territory.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Territory”, then your Grant will only be exercisable in the territories and jurisdictions indicated by the value in the “Territory” tag.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Territory”, then your Grant will be exercisable throughout the universe across all territories and jurisdictions.

(b) Channels of Distribution.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Channels-of-Distribution”, then your Grant will only be exercisable in the channels of distribution indicated by the value in the “Channels-of-Distribution” tag. Examples of channels of distribution include: television, physical consumer products, video games, etc.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Channels-of-Distribution”, then your Grant will be exercisable throughout all channels of distribution.

(c) Expiration.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Expiration”, then the term of your Grant will continue for the time period indicated by the value in the “Expiration” tag, and the Grant (and all rights granted thereunder) shall automatically expire at the end of such term. For clarity, the term of the Grant commences upon your lawful acquisition of the Access Token.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Expiration”, then the term of your Grant will be perpetual.

(d) Irrevocable.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Irrevocable”, then your Grant will be irrevocable, unless revocation is otherwise required to ensure compliance with law.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Irrevocable”, then your Grant may be revoked by Accessible IP Owner or the Framework Provider if you materially breach the terms of this Access Agreement (and for clarity, if your exercise of the Grant violates the law as determined in Accessible IP Owner’s or the Framework Provider’s reasonable discretion, that is automatically deemed a material breach) and fail to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice.

(e) Attribution.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Attribution”, then (i) on any reproductions of the Accessible IP, you shall identify the Accessible IP Owner and/or any other parties designated to receive attribution credit as specified in the value for the “Attribution” tag as the creators of the Accessible IP, (ii) on any reproductions of the Accessible IP, you shall include a link to the Accessible IP if Accessible IP Owner has specified such link in the Attribution tag, (iii) on any Derivative Accessible IPs, you shall indicate that your Derivative Accessible IP is derived from the Accessible IP, and that such Accessible IP is licensed by the parties identified in subsection (i) above, and (iv) if Accessible IP Owner has specified in the value of the “Attribution” tag that attribution will be administered by a specific accreditation system, you shall follow the requirements set forth by Accessible IP Owner to enable the accreditation system. You shall provide such attribution in a reasonable manner in light the nature of the use of the Accessible IP and/or Derivative Accessible IP.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Attribution”, then you do not need to provide attribution to Accessible IP Owner for any reproductions of the Accessible IP or for Derivative Accessible IPs that you distribute in connection with your exercise of the Grant.

(f) Derivatives.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Derivatives”, then you are permitted to create Derivative Accessible IPs in connection with your exercise of the Grant, but subject to the value of the tag as set forth below:

(i) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-With-Attribution”, you are allowed to create Derivative Accessible IPs, provided that you provide attribution to Accessible IP Owner in accordance with Section 3.1(e).

(ii) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-With-Approval”, then you are allowed to create Derivative Accessible IPs, provided that prior to using or exploiting your Derivative Accessible IP, you submit your Derivative Accessible IP for approval by Accessible IP Owner.

(iii) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-With-Reciprocal-Grant”, you are allowed to create Derivative Accessible IPs, provided that you license your Derivative Accessible IPs under the same license terms that Accessible IP Owner has designated for the original Accessible IP hereunder, and you shall not include any additional or different terms in the license to your Derivative Accessible IPs to your licensees. For clarity, if this tag is tagged by Accessible IP Owner, you are required to also register your Derivative Accessible IP to the Fipchain Framework and make available and license your Derivative Accessible IPs to others.

(iv) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-With-Revenue-Share”, you are allowed to create Derivative Accessible IPs, provided that you pay to Accessible IP Owner the Revenue Share in accordance with Section 3.1(s). Accessible IP Owner shall indicate the percentage value of the Revenue Share in this tag. “Derivatives-Allowed-With-Revenue- Share”, can only be tagged if Accessible IP Owner has also tagged “Commercial-Use” pursuant to Section 3.1(i) below.

(v) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-With-Revenue-Ceiling”, you are allowed to create Derivative Accessible IPs, provided that your Revenues from such Derivative Accessible IPs do not exceed the Revenue Ceiling value specified in the tag, in accordance with Section 3.1(s). Accessible IP Owner shall indicate the value of the Revenue Ceiling in this tag. “Derivatives-Allowed-With-Revenue-Ceiling” can only be tagged if Accessible IP Owner has also tagged “Commercial-Use” pursuant to Section 3.1(i) below.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Derivatives”, then you are not allowed to create Derivative Accessible IPs.

For clarity, if the Accessible IP is a Cognitive Engine Accessible IP, a Derivative Accessible IP of a Cognitive Engine Accessible IP is an artificial intelligence or machine learning model and any related machine- learning code that is another model or related software that is a fine tuned, adapted, modified or otherwise altered model or software that is based in whole, or in part, on the original Cognitive Engine Accessible IP. The Derivative Accessible IP does not include any output generated by the Cognitive Engine Accessible IP or Derivative Accessible IP.

(g) Limitations on Creation of Derivatives.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Derivatives”, they may impose limitations on your creation of Derivative Accessible IPs by also tagging “Derivative-Limitations”. If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Derivative-Limitations”, Accessible IP Owner will also be required to tag one or more of the following subtags:

(i) “Derivatives-Cap”. You are allowed to create Derivative Accessible IPs, provided that you do not create more than a certain number of unique Derivative Accessible IPs (i.e., each separate work that is based on or derived from its original Accessible IP is considered a unique Derivative Accessible IP). Accessible IP Owner shall indicate the number of unique Derivative Accessible IPs you may create in the value of this subtag.

(ii) “Category-Specific-Derivatives-Cap”. You are allowed to create Derivative Accessible IPs, provided that you do not make more than a certain number of a specific category of Derivative Accessible IPs. Accessible IP Owner shall indicate the number of Derivative Accessible IPs allowed to be created in the specific category, as well as the category, in the value of this subtag. For clarity, this subtag does not affect your use of the Accessible IP in accordance with the Grant to create Derivative Accessible IPs that do not fall within the category that has been indicated in this subtag. For example, Accessible IP Owner can specify in the value of this subtag that you may only create one Derivative Accessible IP that is a film using the Accessible IP. In such case, you may only use the Accessible IP to create one Derivative Asset that is a film, but you can use the Accessible IP to create unlimited Derivative Assets that are not films, provided that Accessible IP Owner has not also tagged the “Derivatives-Cap” subtag above.

The “Category-Specific-Derivatives-Cap” subtag is only applicable if the Accessible IP is a Media Accessible IP. For clarity, if the Accessible IP is a Cognitive Engine Accessible IP, this subtag will not be able to be tagged by Accessible IP Owner.

(h) Content Standards.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Content-Standards”, Accessible IP Owner will also be required to tag one or more of the following subtags:

(i) “No-Hate.” In this case, you may not use the Accessible IP in any way that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, racist, hateful, or cruel, or that promotes any such activity, as determined in Accessible IP Owner’s sole discretion.

(ii) “Suitable-for-All-Ages.” You may only use the Accessible IP in a manner that is suitable for all ages, and contains nothing in theme or language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that would offend parents whose younger children view your exercise of the Accessible IP, as determined in Accessible IP Owner’s sole discretion.

(iii) “No-Drugs-or-Weapons.” You may not use the Accessible IP in connection with the advertising or promotion of any drugs, weapons, or related accessories.

(iv) “No-Pornography.” You may not use the Accessible IP in a manner that would be considered pornographic, as determined in Accessible IP Owner’s sole discretion.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Content-Standards” then no content standards apply to your exercise of the Grant other than you are required to use the Accessible IP in accordance with applicable law and the rest of the terms of this Access Agreement.

(i) Commercial Use.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Commercial-Use”, then you are permitted to make both Commercial Use of the Accessible IP in connection with your exercise of the Grant and non- commercial personal use of the Accessible IP during the term of the Grant, but subject to the value of the tag as set forth below:

(i) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed”, you are allowed to make Commercial Use of the Accessible IP.

(ii) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-But-Only-for-Certain-Commercializers”, then Licensor may indicate in the value of the tag, specific category(ies) of licensees or other prerequisites for being able to make Commercial Use of the Accessible IP.

(iii) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-With-Attribution”, you are allowed to make Commercial Use of the Accessible IP, provided that you provide attribution to Accessible IP Owner in accordance with Section 3.1(e)(e).

(iv) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-With-Revenue-Share”, you are allowed to make Commercial Use of the Accessible IP, provided that you pay to Accessible IP Owner the Revenue Share. Accessible IP Owner shall indicate the percentage value of the Revenue Share in this tag.

(v) If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Allowed-With-Revenue-Ceiling”, you are allowed to make Commercial Use of the Accessible IP, provided that your Revenues from such use do not exceed the Revenue Ceiling value specified in such tag.

For clarity, “Commercial Use” being tagged allows you to make Commercial Use of the Accessible IP only, and does not enable you to create Derivative Accessible IPs and make Commercial use of such Derivative Accessible IPs unless the “Derivatives” tag is also tagged. If “Derivatives” is also tagged, you may make Commercial Use of your Derivative Accessible IP; provided that your use may be subject to other restrictions as indicated by the Grant Parameters. If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Commercial-Use-Allowed-With-Revenue-Share” or “Commercial-Use-Allowed-With-Revenue-Ceiling”, the Revenue Share or Revenue Ceiling applies solely to Revenues from the Accessible IP, and not your Derivative Accessible IP. If your Derivative Accessible IP is subject to a Revenue Share or Revenue Ceiling, that will be indicated by the “Derivatives-Allowed-With-Revenue-Share” or “Derivatives-Allowed- With-Revenue-Ceiling” tags.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Commercial-Use,” then your Grant is for non-commercial, personal use only, and no Commercial Use of the Accessible IP is allowed.

(j) Revenues.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Derivatives-Allowed-With-Revenue-Share”, “Derivatives-- Allowed-With-Revenue-Ceiling”, “Commercial-Use-Allowed-With-Revenue-Share”, or “Commercial-Use-Allowed-With-Revenue-Ceiling”, then they will also be required to tag “Revenues”. If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Revenues”, they can provide a definition of what consideration received by you in connection with the exploitation of the Accessible IP or your Derivative Accessible IP (as applicable) constitutes Revenues for purposes of determining the Revenue Share and Revenue Ceiling, and such definition will be indicated in the value of the “Revenues” tag. If Accessible IP Owner has not provided a definition for Revenues in the value of the “Revenues” tag, then the following default definition will apply:

“Revenues” means gross amounts actually received by you, the Grantee, in connection with your use and exploitation of the Accessible IP or your Derivative Accessible IP, as applicable, under this Grant.

(k) Grant Fee.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Grant-Fee,” then you will be required to pay either a monthly grant fee (“Monthly Grant Fee”) or a one-time Grant fee (“One-Time Grant Fee” and together with the Monthly Grant Fee, the “Grant Fee”) and Accessible IP Owner will be required to tag one of the following subtags:

(i) “Monthly-Grant-Fee.” In this case, your Grant is subject to a Monthly Grant Fee, in accordance with Section 3.1(s). The amount of the Monthly Grant Fee due to Accessible IP Owner will be as set forth in the value of this tag.

(ii) “One-Time-Grant-Fee.” In this case, your Grant is subject to a One-Time Grant Fee, in accordance with Section 3.1(s). The amount of the One-Time Grant Fee will be as set forth in the value of this tag.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Grant-Fee,” then you may exercise the Grant free of any Grant Fees. For clarity, whether Accessible IP Owner has or has not tagged “Grant-Fee” shall not affect your obligation to also make Revenue Share payments if “Commercial-Use- Allowed-With-Revenue-Share” has been tagged.

(l) Sublicensable.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Sublicensable”, then you may sublicense the rights granted under this Grant to any other persons or entities, provided that such sublicensees agree to comply with the terms of this Grant and you remain liable for the acts or omissions of such sublicensees in connection with their exercise of such sublicense.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Non-Transferable”, then you may freely transfer your Grant to another individual or entity.

(n) Currency.

The “Currency” tag shall automatically be tagged, and Accessible IP Owner must specify a currency value in this tag. All payments that are required to be made in connection with your exercise of the Grant will be paid in the currency specified by Accessible IP Owner in this “Currency” tag.

(o) Payment Address.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Payment-Address”, then all Grant Fees due hereunder must be sent to the address indicated by the value in the “Payment-Address” tag.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “Payment-Address”, then the payment address will be, (i) if a smart contract is attached to the Accessible IP, the address defined in the smart contract, and (ii) if a smart contract is not attached to the Accessible IP, the address that posted the Accessible IP on the Network.

The “Payment-Address” may also have different designated values for each of the various Grant Fee and Revenue Share arrangements that Accessible IP Owner has chosen.

(p) AI Learning Models.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “AI-Learning-Model-Permitted”, then you may use the Accessible IP to train, develop, improve or refine other artificial intelligence and/or machine learning models or similar technologies (“AI Learning Models”). In such case, your use of the Accessible IP to train AI Learning Models may be subject to certain fees, and Accessible IP Owner shall specify such fees in the value of this tag.

If Accessible IP Owner has not tagged “AI-Learning-Model-Permitted”, then you may not use the Accessible IP to train, develop, improve or refine AI Learning Models.

(q) Restriction on Cross-Platform Use.

If Accessible IP Owner has tagged “Restriction-On-Cross-Platform-Use”, then you may only distribute, copy, or sublicense your licensed Accessible IP or any Derivative Accessible IP on the specific digital application or platform from which you first obtained or received your License.
