2.4 DERIVATIVE WORKS

We understand that you may want to create derivative works of the Art (Digital Collectible Art Derivatives) for your specific Bubblegoose Ballers Digital Collectible, for example, by building out the rest of their body to use as an avatar in a game, or depicting them in other art styles such as pixel art. We allow you to create Digital Collectible Art Derivatives under the licenses granted above, provided that you do not create any Digital Collectible Art Derivatives that:

  1. Are the same as or substantially similar to Art for other Bubblegoose Ballers Digital Collectibles that you do not own;
  2. Other Digital Collectible Art Derivatives that others have already created; or 
  3. Could mislead the public into thinking that we have created, sold or endorsed your Digital Collectible Art Derivatives. 

Also, you acknowledge and agree that:

  2. Other holders of their own Bubblegoose Ballers Digital Collectibles may also create their own Digital Collectible Art Derivatives of any Art linked to their own Bubblegoose Ballers Digital Collectibles. 

These other Digital Collectible Art Derivatives may be similar or identical to your own Digital Collectible Art Derivatives. Accordingly, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, successors and assigns, you irrevocably covenant and agree not to assert or bring any suit, claim, demand or challenge against:

  1. Creator or its affiliates or licensees (or any of their employees, partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders) in connection with their use of any Art or any of their own Digital Collectible Art Derivatives; or

The foregoing is the case even if such Art or Digital Collectible Art Derivatives is similar to, or the same as, any Digital Collectible Art Derivatives that have been created by you.
