“Ownership Agreement”
This is an agreement between the Rightsholder and NFT Owner. We are not a party to any Ownership Agreements. The Ownership Agreement states the share of royalties that the NFT Owner is entitled to as and when (if at all) any royalties are generated and become payable to the NFT Owner.
