SAGA Project Additional Terms and Conditions:

SAGA Introduction.

Welcome to the SAGA Project, a community-driven narrative experience by CyberKongz®. By submitting your Genkai NFT for potential inclusion in the SAGA Project, you are engaging with a unique storytelling experience that is shaped and propelled by the contributions of the CyberKongz® community. These terms define the scope of participation, outline the rights and responsibilities of all parties, and ensure that your involvement in the SAGA Project is in harmony with the overarching ethos of the CyberKongz® community. Your voluntary submission of a Genkai NFT signifies your understanding and acceptance of the following additional terms and conditions intended to foster a creative and inclusive environment for all:

Ownership and Intellectual Property (“IP”).

• Ownership of NFTs: Genkai NFT holders retain full ownership of their respective NFTs regardless of their participation in the SAGA Project. This ownership is acknowledged and respected by CyberKongz® LLC, which does not assert any ownership claim over the individual Genkai NFTs themselves.
• Intellectual Property Rights of SAGA Content: While individual NFT owners hold their respective Genkai NFTs, CyberKongz® LLC exclusively maintains all intellectual property rights to any SAGA-related content. This includes, but is not limited to, narratives, depictions, derivative stories, distinctive characteristics, and any other intellectual creations or contributions that arise from or are connected with the SAGA Project. These IP rights extend to any engagement, adaptations, or developments that occur as a result of the SAGA Project and are integral to its unfolding and expansion.
• IP Rights in Derived Content: Participants understand and agree that by engaging with the SAGA Project, any new content, stories, attributes, or related material that are created, contributed to, or derived from the Genkai NFTs and the SAGA Project participation will be the exclusive property of CyberKongz® LLC. This encompasses any material that may be developed through community interaction, collaborations, or as a consequence of the Genkai NFTs' involvement in the SAGA narrative.
• Clear Distinction of Rights: It is essential for participants to understand the clear distinction between their ownership of the Genkai NFT and the separate IP rights held by CyberKongz® LLC. The latter exclusively retains all creative control and legal rights over the content associated with or generated by the SAGA Project.
• Licensing and Use: CyberKongz® LLC grants Genkai NFT owners a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and enjoy their NFTs within the guidelines of the CyberKongz® terms and conditions and the broader CyberKongz® ecosystem. This includes any additional rights or permissions that may be necessary for participants to utilize their NFTs in relation to the SAGA Project without infringing on the IP rights of CyberKongz® LLC.

SAGA Submission Process.

• To participate in the SAGA Project, Genkai NFT holders must submit their Genkai NFT’s according to instructions provided by CyberKongz®. Whether your Genkai NFT is included in the SAGA project, however, is subject to approval by the CyberKongz® community via a “Public Voting” system.

Character Narration and Traits.

• Character Attributes: Upon inclusion of your Genkai NFT in the SAGA project, certain character attributes or traits may be ascribed to your Genkai NFT.
