Translated Terms of Usage of Japanese blogs

slimmmeiske2 · 2014-05-30T22:27:42+0900

From time to time, topics show up asking if this Japanese site states that their resources can be used commercially, or they're looking for the author's name, so they can credit them properly. However, sometimes their terms are complex enough that google translate isn't able to do his job. That's why I figured it might be a good idea to translate their terms to English. In case you are looking for the terms of a site not mentioned here, feel free to comment and link the site. I will try and translate them as quickly as possible. If you want a speedy answer it's best to PM me. FAQQ: Is it possible you haven't translated [Z]? A: Yes. I've done over 100+ sites now, but I'm nowhere near done I'm afraid. ;.; Just comment here or PM me (in case you want a faster reply). Q: What are these spoilers in your translation posts? I can't read them! A: And you shouldn't have to They're the original terms copied over from the translated site/blog. This is proof in case the site/blog decides at a later date to change their terms or if they decide to close down/disappear forever. Q: I can't find the resources on the site./The first post says this site has [X], but I can only find [Y]. A: Feel free to PM me and I'll point them out for you~ Q: The terms mention I should credit them, but doesn't really state how... A: There's a number of ways you could go. The safest way would be to use the author's name, site's name and site's URL when crediting. However, there's nothing wrong by just crediting the site or author. It's really up to you in the end. Q: Does optional mean I shouldn't credit them? A: On the contrary, it just means that legally you're not required to do so. I find it common decency though, to give credit to these artists/scripters; you'll probably have some resources where you'll be required to credit anyway. Q: Could you check if has gotten back to you about commercial usage? A: Of course! Feel free to PM or comment in this thread. Since I use different methods for different sites, it's hard to keep up with it.

I need to know the ToS for this: http://foryou.opal.ne.jp/sfog/materialvxrtpfacemonster.html

I couldn't find it in the first post, so I don't know if you don't have them done, or if I just happened to skip a link.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't, no. Looking at the terms, I remember why I haven't translated it.

The terms under the VX RTP facesets state you can only use them if you own VX and only in RM engines.

...And that's it. The rest of the terms, which do mention credit/editing/commercial usage, are under the photo subtitle, so they seem to be only applicable to the photos.

It's possible since the terms mention that the facesets are edits of VX RTP, they expect you to simply follow the VX EULA, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks. That's exceedingly frustrating, mostly because I'm looking for a faceset like the Imp one. Since they're VX only, and likely not applicable for Ace, then I couldn't use them even if they were commercial allowed.
Thank you, you've saved me hours of frustration and garbled Google Translate.

Hello @slimmmeiske2 can you confirm for me whether TYPE74RX-T allows commercial usage of the plugins? On a glimpse, I think it's alright but I want to make sure xD

Hey there @slimmmeiske2,

I think the terms listed here from Cardboard Warehouse are for the graphic assets only.

I am wondering if there's any difference in the ToS for the music files.

I'd love to be able to use them in a commercial project.

Thank you in advance! :)

I actually ran the ToS from the Download page through Google Translate and got a fairly coherent translation from it. Translation in spoiler

I think you should link the entire page, instead of just a slight snippet. Those could be something completely irrelevant, or without the proper context, untranslatable.

From what I can determine from that particular page, the artist doesn't require credit, and it can be modified. However, there isn't anything regarding if you can use it commercially or not. To err on the side of caution, I would suggest using it only for non-commercial projects, if you plan on using it.

It seems during my time away there was a forum software update, which messed up the layout of all my posts. They've all been fixed by now, with the exception of the first post as I keep getting an error when I try to save my changes. :(

And better late than ever:
@cekobico Yes, commercial usage is allowed.
I've updated the terms of Cardboard Warehouse to now include the terms for the sound files as @Verdelite requested.
@OneManArmy Please use this to check the terms on that site in future. @Diretooth is right by the way. Commercial usage isn't mentioned, so it's best not to use it for commercial projects.

Sites still to be translated: pmelo.jp, moonlight.pw, TYPE74RX-T, Erufwa, Sundriveplus, vol.319
I'll do those when I've finally fixed the first post.
In the mean time, please use the forum search to find sites (and their terms) I've already translated.

Welcome back! Love the list since it makes it much easier to decipher how certain assets on Japanese websites can be used. Been a fan of this list, but never said it: Thanks for this. Keep up the great work and again, welcome back to RMW! You were missed.

It looks like Konoe recently change the term of use about the commercial use. From what I could grasp, it's said that the resources can be used for commercial games as long as the credit is given along with a link to the site. Can you verify this?

Thanks in advance. :)

#400 Jul 14, 2017, 10:59 AM Source

Thanks guys! :wub

@BlackMage Yes, that's correct.
Basically before you needed to comment when you downloaded the resources and you had to contact konoe to use the resources commercially. Now, you don't have to do either anymore. The only thing you still need to do is give credit when you use the resources in a commercial game.

I'll update the post with terms later.
