Terms & Conditions

“Creator” means the entity that created the Collection.
“Licensee” means the current owner of the Keensight NFT. There can be several different owners of each Keensight NFT throughout time, but only one Licensee at a time. The owner of each Keensight NFT is the owner who has the license, subject to the terms herein, to the associated NFT Art.
