We here at lowiro are delighted that you would like to make your own original content based on Arcaea! Our fans, including content creators, are a big reason for our success. To ensure a positive contribution to the community and fanbase via a video or streaming site, such as YouTube or Twitch, we ask that you please read, understand, and follow the guidelines set forth below.
1. General Guidelines
- We allow players to create and stream content that is instructional or shows reactions, commentary, reviews, or live game play. We encourage the commentary to be related to the game play being shown.
- We allow uploading to any website that allows streaming or video uploads, including your own.
- Fan content, or any other content not released in an official format by lowiro, may not be promoted as official lowiro content.
- Please be mindful of any story or gameplay-related spoilers in your stream or content. Many players may wish not to be spoiled before seeing something for themselves, so we recommend clearly marking spoilers beforehand where needed. Ultimately, however, this is down to your own judgement.
- Any posting or otherwise unauthorized disclosure of content that has not yet been publicly announced is strictly forbidden.
- You may not distribute, in video form or otherwise, assets from the game that have been removed from actual gameplay. Any video or other created content may only use Arcaea gameplay as a whole, with both video and sound footage included. The sound and video may not be used separately, and ALL content must be used in conjunction with gameplay.
- In the same vein, the content you make should be original in some way. Videos that are purely duplications of officially released content, such as trailers or previews, are forbidden.
- All collaboration content in Arcaea (marked in the “Collaboration Pack” section) is excluded from these permissions and you will need to obtain permission from appropriate rights holders.
- We encourage the streaming of most songs in the Main Story and Side Story packs, with certain exceptions. While we strive to provide these guidelines so that creators can understand our endorsement of streaming Arcaea, please understand that we cannot provide an exhaustive list of permitted songs, and that you stream at your own discretion in regard to the right held by parties other than lowiro.
- We cannot take responsibility for any Content ID claims that may arise from the usage of songs from other rights holders. Please handle these at your own discretion.
- Confirming song rights and streaming rights are the responsibility of the streamer or video creator. Please understand that the guidance above is all we can provide, and that certain songs may be subject to further restrictions.
2. Commercialization Guidelines
- We do not allow any commercial use of content in Arcaea without prior permission.
- The exception is if you are an individual monetizing through partner programs or advertising from streaming sites and/or collecting the types of voluntary contributions listed below, as long as the video itself is available for free and you are not monetizing on behalf of a non-individual entity. The allowed voluntary contributions are: SuperChat (YouTube), Bits (Twitch), and tipping (Facebook).
- If you wish to monetize on behalf of a non-individual entity, or are otherwise part of a non-individual entity, please contact us at contact@lowiro.com to obtain permission.
3. Impermissible Uses
- We do not allow inappropriate content in Arcaea-related videos. This includes age-restricted content as well as any content that is illegal, is prejudiced in any way (including racist, sexist, or disparaging content), or is otherwise offensive. We reserve the right to take down such content.
- We do not allow Arcaea-related videos to contain any unreleased content or “leaks”, and we reserve the right to take down such content.
4. Other Rules
- This policy only applies to Arcaea and lowiro content. If your video or stream includes content from elsewhere, you may need to familiarize yourself with their policies on video content as well.
- Failure to abide by these rules and guidelines regarding video and streaming content may result in lowiro taking action to have such content removed. lowiro reserves the right to change these policies, at any time for any reason, without informing you. Please ensure that you check this policy first when creating Arcaea-related content.
- This policy is not exhaustive, and we reserve the right to remove any objectionable content that does not fit into the guidelines set forth in it.
