# Terminology

To avoid confusions, here are simple descriptions of some important terms that may have a particular meaning in the context we are bringing. These words will often be highlighted in italics throughout the text so you can come back and check them. &#x20;

* **Rental:** to rent an NFT is to pay a certain amount to temporarily enjoy some benefits related to that particular NFT. A *rental* can refer to a particular transaction of this sort or to the very object being rented.
* **Rentee:** to avoid the ambiguity of the word 'renter' we use the term *rentee* to refer to the party paying to acquire the rental.
* **NFT owner:** the party that has a rightful claim of ownership to an NFT listed for rent or being actively rented.
* **NFT holder:** the party marked as the owner of the NFT in the latter's contract at a given time. So a *holder* could be an owner or a rentee (or an escrow), depending on the rental status of the NFT.&#x20;
* **Smart Account:** an account embedded with some extra functionalities to provide better experience to users.
