The Art of Podcreature
Terms of Use, for my 3D Assets:
- After purchasing, you do not need to pay me additional royalties for works they are featured within, as long as my assets are published in works such as renders or games and "ripping" them is not allowed. You must condemn this behavior as it extends to all assets of mine which you've published in your media, whether or not it is free or monetized.
- You may never re-sell or redistribute my assets, art or products in whole or in part, even if you alter them.
- I must be credited as the modeler of assets that you purchase from me, somewhere in either the art, caption, description or credits-section. If I see someone featuring my models as representative of their own modeling abilities, this person will be liable for plagiarism - theft.
-If you use my assets in explicit, ideologically sensitive or NSFW media, I am not judging, as long as it falls in the realm of art or entertainment and is not specifically meant to harm, defame, abuse, insult or harass any actual individual or group. However, if you credit me for the assets, I would appreciate that you add a disclaimer that "Podcreature" is not the artist of the composition, and that it doesn't necessarily represent my views and ideals.
Read further for a thorough description about how your license affects what you can do with my 3D assets:
1. Scope: These terms govern the commission of 3D sculptures created by Podcreature ("the Artist") for yourself, ("the Client").
2. Ownership of Character Design: The Artist acknowledges that the character designs provided by the Client for the purpose of the commission are the property of the Client. The Artist does not claim any rights over the original character designs.
3. License and Usage Rights for Completed Sculpts:
a. Standard License: By default, all completed sculptures are provided under a standard license. Under this license, the Client is granted the right to use the sculpture for personal, non-commercial purposes only. The Client may not resell, redistribute, or otherwise profit from the sculpture without obtaining a full license as described in section 3(b) below.
b. Full License: To use the sculpture for commercial purposes, the Client must purchase a full license from the Artist. The terms and pricing for such a license will be negotiated separately.
4. Artist’s Use of Completed Works:
a. The Artist shall not use, display, or feature the completed sculptures or any derivative art based on the Client's character designs on any platforms, promotional materials, or portfolios without the express formal consent of the Client.
b. The Client's consent for the Artist to use the sculptures can be provided in writing, and any limitations or conditions set by the Client must be respected by The Artist.
5. Violations and Remedies: Any unauthorized use or violation of these terms may result in legal action. Both parties acknowledge the importance of respecting each other's rights and will strive to resolve any disputes amicably before resorting to legal remedies.
6. Miscellaneous: These terms may only be amended in writing if signed by both parties. If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remainder will remain in full force and effect.
TERMS AS APPLIED TO COMMON USES:
Avatars: Access to game-ready models that I've created may not be granted to third parties. You may not sell my models so that individuals can modify them or upload as their own mods to games. They may have access to the content through a game interface.
Games: My models and meshes may be contained within completed products, but it is the responsibility of the developer who includes my assets within their product, to ensure that third parties/customers, cannot access and download the asset's files. They must forbid the redistribution of content that I've created.
3D Printing: You may sell physical prints from assets you've purchased from me with an extended license. You may NOT sell access to the 3D file, as the license grants only you rights to use it.
By commissioning the Artist,
the Client agrees to be bound by these Terms of Service.
