A. Celsys reserves the right to delete content or suspend accounts even if the posted content or actions are not explicitly prohibited under the terms of service or other policies if Celsys deems it necessary.
We request that all users abide by the terms of service and policies, and act appropriately with common sense to maintain a pleasant and reliable service for everyone.
A. In principle, Celsys does not intervene in issues regarding copyright infringement. However, if content posted on this service appears to infringe on your rights, please contact us at Clip Studio Support. We will take the necessary steps in accordance with the above “Responding to Reports” section.
A. In principle, materials downloaded or purchased from Clip Studio ASSETS can be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. However, some materials have special conditions, similar to limited license materials. For more information, see the ASSETS Terms of Service and material information.
A. You can publicly transmit, upload, distribute, transfer and lend work created using materials from Clip Studio ASSETS worldwide.
A. You may only post materials made entirely by you, so you cannot post such materials. However, you can post 3D drawing figure body shapes and poses, 3D head model configurations, and 3D primitives from the materials in Clip Studio Paint. Please check the Best Practices for Posting on Clip Studio Assets (https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/information/notice) before posting.
A. Currently, we only allow users to post content to which they own all copyrights. We believe that if a user does not own the copyrights to content, posting such content poses significant risks to our users.
Celsys does not permit users to post third-party content even with permission from the copyright holder.
This is for the following reasons:
・ If a copyright holder mistakenly states the scope of permission to use their material, they may no longer be able to assert their rights if their rights are infringed.
・ If a poster of third-party content misunderstands the scope of permission, the copyright owner may claim copyright infringement against them.
・ Users may be harmed by infringement of their copyrights.
However, generally speaking, we believe that it is a good thing for artists to share their copyrighted content with each other with mutual consent.
CELSYS will continue to consider methods to avoid risks related to copyright issues.
Please feel free to send any feedback or thoughts to us through Clip Studio Support.
