Last updated: [April 20, 2026]

OpenSea NFT Terms: The Helga Norse Music Catalog Collection

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Helga Norse Music Catalog NFT Collection. These Terms of Sale ("Terms") govern your purchase of a non-fungible token ("NFT") from the “Helga Norse Music Catalog” collection (the “Collection”) on the OpenSea marketplace. These NFTs represent a unique digital collectible and grant you specific rights and perks related to a musical composition created by Helga Norse.

By purchasing an NFT from this Collection, you (“Holder,” “you,” or “your”) expressly agree to be bound by these Terms and all applicable laws. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not purchase or hold an NFT from this Collection.

2. The Project: Helga Norse Music Catalog

Helga Norse is on a mission to create one AI-fueled song per week, drawing inspiration from global events and cultures. This project will result in hundreds of unique tracks, each minted as a corresponding NFT. The future of music is community-driven, and these Terms outline how you can be a part of it.

3. What You Own

When you purchase an NFT from the Collection, you own the NFT itself as a digital token on the blockchain. Ownership of the NFT is governed by the smart contract and the license granted herein. The copyright to the underlying musical composition (the “Song”) is not sold to you and remains with Helga Norse and its licensors.

4. License & Co-Ownership Perks

Your purchase of an NFT grants you, for as long as you verifiably own the NFT, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license to the associated Song, including the following specific perks and rights:

Partial Co-Ownership: A 25% share of the publishing rights and royalties generated from the Song. This includes revenue from streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.), synchronization licenses (use in film, TV, games, advertising), and other mechanical royalties.
Holder Status & VIP Recognition: Official "Holder" status with VIP recognition on Helga Norse's applicable social media platforms.
Broadcast Rights: The right to publicly play and broadcast the Song on your personal social media or streaming channels.
Adaptation Rights: The right to create and share your own cover versions of the Song.
Exclusive DJ Rights: The right to publicly perform the Song at live events or on radio broadcasts.
Metaverse Usage Rights: The right to use the Song within virtual worlds or metaverse environments.
Merchandise License: A license to create and sell merchandise (e.g., t-shirts, posters) using the Song’s lyrics and the NFT's associated artwork, limited to a personal, non-mass scale.
Holder Discounts: Access to discounts on official Helga Norse merchandise. (coming Soon)
Airdrops & Bonuses: Eligibility for special airdrops or bonus rewards if the Song hits certain revenue milestones, to be determined at Helga Norse's sole discretion.

5. Royalty Distribution

Royalties from the Song’s exploitation (your 25% share) will be collected by Helga Norse or its designated agent. Distributions to the Holder of record will be made once per year, on the anniversary of the NFT's original minting date. Payments will be made in ETH, USDT or USDC to the Ethereum wallet address that holds the NFT on the distribution date.

Please Note: If the accrued royalty amount for a given year is less than $5.00 (USD), the payment will be deferred and added to the following year's distribution. No payments will be issued for amounts under $5.00 until the cumulative total meets or exceeds that threshold.

6. Important Notes on Song Distribution

Curation Process: Not every Song created weekly will be commercially distributed on streaming platforms (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music). Approximately four (4) Songs per month will be selected for distribution, some might be rejected from streaming platforms.

7. Restrictions

The license granted is subject to the following restrictions. You may not:

Use the Song to create, endorse, or imply a connection to hate speech, violence, illegal activity, or other offensive material.
Use the Song or the NFT in a way that infringes on any third-party rights.
Register any trademark, copyright, or otherwise attempt to claim exclusive intellectual property ownership in the Song or associated artwork.
Use the Song as the theme or core identity for another commercial music artist or project.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

THE NFT AND ALL RELATED ASSETS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. HELGA NORSE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT SHALL HELGA NORSE, ITS AFFILIATES, OR HELGA NORSE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR PURCHASE, USE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE NFT.

9. Changes to Terms

Helga Norse reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date and posting the new Terms on our website and official social channels. Your continued ownership of the NFT after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
