• Collector Terms;
• and any other posted and referenced guidelines, rules, policies, terms, or conditions applicable to services that may be available at the Site.
This Agreement is between you and Acmé concerning your use of the website located at https://www.acme.art/ (including any successor sites and any other website, mobile app, marketplace, social media, or software that we operate or make available for the sale of NFTs) and any content, products or services that we make available there (collectively, the “Site”).The Site may allow users to mint and buy non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) that contain or correspond to digital artworks (“Artworks”) created by Violeta Hernández or other artists (each, an “Artist”). For ease of reference, we refer to NFTs originally acquired through the Site as “Site NFTs” and a Site NFT together with the license rights in the corresponding Artwork as a “Digital Item.”
When you connect your cryptocurrency wallet to the Site using a trusted service provide such as MetaMask or Wallet Connect, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference. By agreeing to these Terms, you hereby certify that you are at least 18 years of age. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Site.

5. Our Content. Our trade names, trademarks, and other indicia of origin include Acmé, and any associated logos (collectively, “Our Trademarks”) on the Site other than Our Trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

You acknowledge and agree that we aren’t, and won’t be, responsible or liable for any Payment Service’s services, site, or acts or omissions.

These Collector Terms govern the rights of owners of non-fungible tokens minted on distributed digital ledgers or blockchains (“NFTs”) that contain or correspond to digital artworks (“Artworks”) created by Violeta Hernández or other artists (each, an “Artist”), which NFTs are first made available through the website operated by Acmé, currently located at https://acme.art/ (the “Site,” as further defined in the). Such owners are referred to in these terms as “Collectors.”

If you mint or buy an NFT through the Site, the blockchain will identify your public blockchain address as the owner of the NFT and you will receive a limited license to the corresponding Artwork as described in these Collector Terms. But other than that license, you do not have any rights in the Artwork, all of which rights remain with and are reserved by us. For ease of reference, we refer to NFTs originally minted through the Site as “Site NFTs”. Subject to and conditioned upon your compliance with these Collector Terms, for as long as you own a Site NFT, we grant you a limited, personal, non-sublicensable license to display and perform the corresponding Artwork uniquely identified by the Site NFT, solely and exclusively for personal, non-commercial use. We grant you no other rights, whether express or implied, with respect to any Digital Item (in whole or in part), all of which we reserve.
2. Restrictions. You may not modify or prepare any derivative work based upon any Site NFT, or commercialize in whole or in part. Your license doesn’t permit you to, and you won’t authorize, permit or assist any third party to:

e. use any Site NFT, in whole or in part in connection with any product, service, business, lobbying effort, political campaign, or message, or in any manner that could suggest or imply our sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement, or in any manner that is likely to cause confusion or dilute, blur or tarnish our rights.
3. Collector Perks. Although we have no obligation to do so, we may, or we may authorize third parties to, occasionally make additional content, physical items or other benefits available to the owners of Site NFTs (“Collector Perks”). It’s up to you to stay informed about Collector Perks (e.g., by visiting the Site or other social media accounts) and, if necessary, take any steps to request or collect Collector Perks, which may include verification of your ownership of the applicable Site NFTs).
4. Termination. If you breach these Terms or any other policies posted on the Site, your rights to any Site NFT, including the rights to display and perform corresponding Artworks, will immediately terminate without notice
