IN CREATING THIS AGREEMENT, WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE WAY PEOPLE CREATE, USE, AND MONETIZE THEIR NFTS IS EVOLVING AND CHANGING. WE HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AGREEMENT SEEKING TO PROTECT THE HARD WORK AND CREATIVITY OF THE CREATORS, ON THE ONE HAND, WHILE GRANTING OWNERS THE FREEDOM AND FLEXIBILITY TO FULLY ENJOY THEIR BUSH BABIES NFTS AND RELATED ART.
