Use by individuals or unincorporated entities
We grant permission for individuals or unincorporated organizations to publish and distribute derivative works based on our characters for non-commercial, non-profit, and paid use (with the aim of recovering actual costs).
Profit from the Creator Incentive Program, video advertisements, memberships, and donations by individuals and circles will also be considered as non-profit and paid use.
Any use beyond the scope of the above is subject to permission, even if it is by an individual or a coterie of artists.
※1 When using voice or Singing synthesizing software, you must comply with the terms and conditions of the respective platform or software.
※2 If you use the characters of this project to promote other contents or products that have nothing to do with VirVox Projet under contract with a corporation, it is considered a commercial activity and requires a license. (Other than that, mere creative use is not a problem.)
Use of Official Illustrations
The official illustrations officially distributed by this project may be used freely within the scope of non-profit and free use.
However, there are exceptions for paid use, so please refer to "Guidelines and Examples of Official VirVox Illustrations" for details.
If a corporation wishes to use an official illustration for a fee, please contact the VirVox Project.
For works containing NSFW expressions
If you upload a work that contains R-18 or R-18G (NSFW) material related to VirVox project characters, please limit the scope of the work so that minors will not be able to see it.
When submitting your work, please use the following hashtag for quarantine if you like. (*Use of the tags is not mandatory.)
