NFT Creator License & Royalty Agreement
Minting an NFT does not automatically transfer copyright. This agreement makes clear exactly what an NFT buyer receives — and what the creator keeps. It addresses on-chain royalty percentages, how off-chain sales are handled, and the Copyright Act (Canada) section 14.1 moral rights waiver. Whether you're a solo artist or a generative collection, this template gives buyers and marketplaces the clarity they need.
