You must read and agree to these documents before using the software.

Unlockable Content

Full‑release executables and cheat‑code lists (May included in some NFTs) are available only to verified NFT holders.

They are delivered through Art Debugger's Access, our wallet‑gated delivery layer that unlocks the file after a MetaMask or WalletConnect signature.

Sharing or redistributing URLs or files from this system is strictly prohibited.

For legal information Art Debugger's Access, please see Section 3.

Hosting & File Access

Security & Disclaimer

Refund & Resale Policy

Ownership of the NFT does not imply ownership of the underlying artwork, nor does it transfer copyright.

All NFT purchases are final and non-refundable.

If you purchase an NFT on a secondary market (e.g., from another collector), your usage rights remain subject to the original terms, but no direct relationship is formed with the creator.

Third-Party Licenses

Some software versions include bundled third-party open-source libraries (e.g. Pillow, keyboard), compiled into the application for functionality.

These libraries are used without modification and are subject to their original MIT licenses.

A document named `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt` is included in each software package.

You may view an example of this document here- this is the most up-to-date version: THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt

In unclear cases, LICENSE.txt takes precedence.


3. Art Debugger's Access - Legal Terms

This section refers exclusively to the delivery system used to verify NFT ownership and provide access to gated content.

It does not govern the software artworks themselves, which are covered in Section 2.

Art Debugger’s Access is a secure framework for connecting blockchain-based ownership (via wallet verification) with private file delivery.

It acts as middleware between the user’s wallet and the hosted content, and is not part of the artwork or its license.

Purpose

Art Debugger's Access is designed to:

The system only grants access when:

Security & Data Handling

Experimental Status

Art Debugger's Access is an experimental tool. It may:

By using it, you accept that access is not guaranteed, and Art Debugger provides no liability for errors, incompatibility, or failed access attempts.

Sharing & Redistribution

All links provided through Art Debugger's Access are confidential.

Legal Scope

Art Debugger's Access is covered by the same legal framework as other elements of this site:

If you are using Art Debugger's Access, you must also comply with:

Notice Regarding IPFS Hosting

Some content (including original software versions and cheat code files) is hosted via IPFS, a decentralized file storage system. While access to these files is technically gated using Art Debugger’s Access (via wallet verification), the decentralized nature of IPFS means that full deletion or guaranteed exclusivity cannot be assured.

If any file or link is shared outside the intended delivery mechanism, this constitutes a breach of license. Art Debugger is not liable for any unauthorized access resulting from IPFS persistence or third-party redistribution.

By using this platform or acquiring an NFT, you acknowledge and accept this technical limitation.

In short

This tool bridges NFT verification and file delivery. It is safe, simple, and experimental - use it wisely.


Security Update - May 2025

During early testing, a short window existed where the original software files and cheat code lists were theoretically accessible to anyone who manually extracted the IPFS links from the token page on Manifold.

While access required technical knowledge and no NFTs were purchased at the time, the issue has since been resolved.

Today, all protected content is securely hosted through our Art Debugger's Access framework, which verifies NFT ownership using wallet authentication.

External platforms can no longer serve or preserve these files on their own.

As with any decentralized storage system, content that was briefly accessible may technically remain available to parties who accessed it during that time. We believe this is unlikely and are confident that our current access protections are robust.

Thank you for your understanding. We remain fully committed to transparency, security, and creative freedom.
