2. Royalties

Royalties will be payable by GoodBye Catz as follows:

• 2.5% Royalty will be owned by the initial Minter and White Lister;
• 2.5% Royalty will be earmarked for Charity and the recipient charity or charities will be voted on periodically by the GoodBye Catz Community.  This will occur at least quarterly or more often as management deems it appropriate in its sole discretion. Refer to our website for current Charity account balances. 
• 5.0 % to GoodBye Catz. 

The above calculation of Royalties will be on the “Transaction Price” exclusive of any gas fees or otherwise.  All sales and distributions will be in Ethereum.  With respect to all distributions, the royalty owner shall bear its proportionate share of gas fees and other reasonable transfer fees (Original Minter, Charitable Organization, and Scruffy Cats, LLC).  

Description of Royalty Distributions:

GoodBye Catz will have an “Ethereum Joint Account” for the royalty owners and will distribute royalties to recipients from time to time and at least quarterly, if there are royalties to be distributed.  Notwithstanding anything herein, if the balance of Ethereum credited to an owner’s account will not cover gas and other reasonable transfer fees, the Ethereum credited to the owner’s account will not be transferred until a subsequent distribution occurs where said credit to the account exceeds the cost of said transfer. All transactions will be in Ethereum, and all parties herein acknowledge and accept any inherent risks there may be as it relates to Ethereum on an as is, where is basis, with no warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied.  

Sale and Transfer of Royalty:

In the event a royalty owner elects to transfer its interest, it may only do so by transferring the account to a third party or different beneficiary at its sole risk and expense all pursuant to the guidelines of its Ethereum wallet.  Good Bye Catz will only distribute royalties to the account owner of record at the time of minting unless a transfer has occurred and the royalty owner has provided GoodBye Catz with documentation acceptable to GoodBye Catz proving such transfer to the reasonable satisfaction of GoodBye Catz. 

Record Keeping: 

GoodBye Catz will maintain all records pertaining to royalty ownership and calculations. This data will be fully verified and derived by the underlying smart contract and publicly available through Etherscan or otherwise.

3. Ownership

You Own the NFT. Each Cat is an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. When you purchase an NFT, you own the underlying Cat completely. Ownership of the NFT is mediated entirely by the Smart Contract and the Ethereum Network: at no point may we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Cat.

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, Scruffy Catz, LLC (DBA GoodBye Catz) grants you a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the purchased Cat, along with any extensions that you choose to create or use, solely for the following purposes: (i) for your own personal, non-commercial use; (ii) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Cat/NFT, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Cat owner’s rights to display the Art for their Cat to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art; or (iii) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your Cat, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each Cat owner’s rights to display the Art for their Cat to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the Cat leaves the website/application.

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, GoodBye Catz grants you an unlimited, worldwide license to use, copy, and display the purchased Art for the purpose of creating derivative works based upon the Art (“Commercial Use”). Examples of such Commercial Use would e.g. be the use of the Art to produce and sell merchandise products (T-Shirts etc.) displaying copies of the Art. For the sake of clarity, nothing in this Section will be deemed to restrict you from (i) owning or operating a marketplace that permits the use and sale of Cats generally, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Cat owner’s rights to display the Art for their Cat to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art; (ii) owning or operating a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of Cats generally, provided that the third-party website or application cryptographically verifies each Cat owner’s rights to display the Art for their Cat to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the Purchased Cat leaves the website/application; or (iii) earning revenue from any of the foregoing.

10. Risk Assumption

You accept and acknowledge each of the following:

A. To the extent that you sell your Cat NFT, please be aware that the prices of NFTs are extremely volatile and fluctuations in the prices of other NFTs and impact the price of your Cat both positively and negatively.  Given the volatility, NFTs such as Cats should not be considered an investment. You assume all risks in that connection.

B. Ownership of a Cat confers ownership of digital artwork only. Accordingly, no information on this Site (or any other documents mentioned therein) is or may be considered to be advice or an invitation to enter into an agreement for any investment purpose. Further, nothing on this Site qualifies or is intended to be an offering of securities in any jurisdiction nor does it constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase shares, securities or other financial products.  Due to the artistic nature of the project, GoodBye Catz has not been registered with or approved by any regulator in any jurisdiction. It remains your sole responsibility to assure that the purchase of the Cat and the associated art is in compliance with laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

C. You assume all risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet.

D. NFTs, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are relatively new and the regulatory landscape is unsettled. New regulations could negatively impact such technologies impacting the value for your Cat. You understand and accept all risk in that regard.

E. You assume all responsibility for any adverse effects of disruptions or other issues impacting Ethereum or the Ethereum platform.
