  2. License Grants.

    2.1 Your Content.  You are solely responsible for all Your Content that you Submit to us in connection with a Contest.  For purposes of these Terms, to “Submit” content means to upload through the Submission Site.  

    2.2 Content License    .  By participating in a Contest, you agree that Unblocked may, at its sole discretion, mint one or more non-fungible tokens or similar digital items (“NFTs”) that are based on Your Content and make such NFTs available for sale on Unblocked’s NFT marketplace, Unblocked Exchange, currently available at https://unblocked.exchange/ (the “Platform”).  Accordingly, you hereby grant us a worldwide (excluding any jurisdictions that may be prohibited by applicable law, such as applicable sanctions laws), non-exclusive, right to use, reproduce, display, and modify (but solely for adaptation purposes) Your Content in connection with (a) the creation of unique artwork, content and media that is based on Your Content (“NFT Media”) and that is linked to unique NFTs (“Licensed NFTs”), (b) the sale of such Licensed NFTs on the Platform and any related mobile application that we may develop in the future (and which sale of the Licensed NFTs will include a license granted to the buyer of any such Licensed NFTs for the right to display (and copy to the extent necessary to display) the NFT Media associated with such Licensed NFTs for non-commercial use), and (c) the promotion of such NFT Media, Licensed NFTs, and the Platform.

    2.6 Content Guidelines.  The Licensed IP (a) may not contain any material that depicts graphic violence, promotes harmful or dangerous behavior, is libelous, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit or in a manner intended to incite hatred on grounds of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation and (b) must at all times be, in compliance with the Official Rules for the applicable Contest and the Platform Terms, including all content guidelines, policies and requirements set forth therein.

    2.7 No Obligation to Produce or Exploit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we have no obligation to use or exploit the Licensed IP, or to otherwise produce, release, sell, advertise or exploit any Licensed NFT.  If Licensed NFTs are produced, you acknowledge and agree that we make no representation or warranty that the proceeds thereof will be sufficient to generate any minimum amount of profits or returns for you.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to obligate us to take any action to maximize revenues or to create a fiduciary relationship between you and Unblocked and you hereby release Unblocked, our affiliates and our and their respective officers, employees, directors, agents and representatives (the “Unblocked Entities”) from any liability whatsoever for any loss or damage you may suffer by reason of our failure to use or exploit the Licensed IP or otherwise produce, release, sell, advertise or exploit Licensed NFTs.
