Terms of use

About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and the VTuber Smash team ("we" or "us"), which is making the game. They apply when you use vtubersmash.com, including the forums, requests, bug reports and creator applications.

By using the site, you agree to these terms and to the Community Guidelines, which are part of them. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

If you're under 18, read these terms with a parent or guardian.

Who can use the site

Anyone can read the public pages. To sign in, post, vote or apply, you must be 13 or older.

If the law where you live sets a higher age for using sites like this, you must meet that age. If it says you need a parent's or guardian's permission, get it before you sign in.

We delete accounts that belong to children under 13 when we learn about them.

You can't use the community features if we've banned you, or if the law where you live doesn't allow you to.

Your account

• You sign in with Discord, Twitch, Google or a link we email you. Keep that account secure: whoever controls it controls your account here.
• One account per person. Don't share your account or use someone else's.
• Pick a display name that follows the Community Guidelines. It can't pretend to be a VTuber, the team or anyone else, and it shouldn't include your real name or other personal details. We can change a display name that breaks these rules.
• You're responsible for what happens on your account. If you think someone else is using it, tell us right away.
• In preview mode there's no account: your display name and posts stay in your browser.

For help with your account, see Contact.

Using the site

Follow the Community Guidelines everywhere on the site. Also, don't:

• break the law, or help anyone else break it;
• post anything you don't have the right to post;
• try to get into accounts, data or parts of the site that aren't yours;
• attack the site, overload it, spread malware, or get around its security or limits;
• use bots or scripts to post, vote or make accounts, or to copy the site's content in bulk;
• get around a suspension or ban, including with a new account;
• use the site to advertise, spam, or collect information about other players.

What you post

You keep ownership of what you post: your threads, replies, requests, bug reports and anything else you share here.

To run the site, we need your permission to use it. When you post, you give the VTuber Smash team a worldwide, non-exclusive license, with no royalty or other payment owed to you, to host, store, copy, format and show your content on vtubersmash.com and in any other community space we run for VTuber Smash, and to let our service providers do the same for us. This license ends when your content is removed, except for copies in backups that haven't been replaced yet.

You promise that you have the right to post what you post, and that it follows these terms and the Community Guidelines.

Anything you post publicly can be seen, copied and shared by anyone. We don't check posts before they go up. Posts show their authors' views and don't speak for us.

Fan art

You're welcome to make fan art of VTuber Smash and its original VTubers, and to share it here and elsewhere. Please:

• keep it non-commercial, and ask us first if you'd like to sell it or make money from it;
• don't make it look official, or use our logo in a way that suggests we made or approved it;
• don't trace or copy official art and present it as your own;
• follow the Community Guidelines when you post it here.

You keep the rights to your own artwork. The characters, names and designs in it still belong to us, and if we ask you to take a piece down, please do. If we'd like to share your fan art in our own channels, we'll ask you first and credit you.

Drawing VTubers who aren't part of VTuber Smash? Follow their creators' own fan-art rules.

Ideas and feedback

We want your requests, suggestions and bug reports. Here's how ideas work:

• Sharing an idea doesn't mean we'll use it. We decide what to build and fix.
• If we use an idea, we don't owe you payment, credit or anything else, even if it came from your post.
• We may already be working on something similar, or come up with it on our own later.
• When you share an idea, you give us permission to use it, change it and build on it, in VTuber Smash or anywhere else, forever and without restrictions.
• Don't share ideas you want to keep for yourself, or anything that belongs to someone else or was shared with you in confidence.

Our content

VTuber Smash, its name and logo, its original VTubers and characters, its art, and this site's design and text belong to the VTuber Smash team or to the people who license them to us. The law protects them.

You may use the site, share links to it, make fan art as described above, and use the press kit as the Press page allows. Otherwise, don't copy, sell or reuse our content without our written permission.

Real VTubers join only with their written permission.

Moderation and closing accounts

We can review, hide or remove any content, and warn, suspend or ban any account, when we believe it breaks these terms or the Community Guidelines, puts someone at risk, or could cause legal trouble. People on the VTuber Smash team, and moderators we choose, make these decisions. The Community Guidelines explain how it works.

When we act on your content or account, we tell you what we did, why, and how to appeal, unless that would put someone at risk or the law doesn't allow it. To appeal, follow the appeal steps.

You can stop using the site at any time, and ask us to delete your account, as our Privacy Policy explains.

We can stop offering the site or any feature at any time. If your account closes, the parts of these terms about what you post, ideas, our content, disclaimers, limits of liability and governing law still apply.

A game in development

VTuber Smash is in development. Its VTubers, modes, stages, art and plans can change, and some may be dropped. Nothing on this site is a promise about a release date, a price or a platform.

The site can change too. Parts of it may be unavailable at times, and features may come and go.

In preview mode, what you post stays in your browser. We can't see it, restore it or move it to the community server.

Disclaimers

We provide the site "as is" and "as available." To the extent the law allows, we make no promises about it beyond what these terms say, including promises that it will always work, work without errors, or fit a particular purpose.

We aren't responsible for other sites we link to, or for what players post.

If you live somewhere with consumer laws that give you rights we can't take away, such as the EU or the UK, these terms don't take those rights away.

Limits of liability

To the extent the law allows, the VTuber Smash team isn't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost data, profits or goodwill, that come from your use of the site. Our total liability to you for all claims about the site is limited to [amount].

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't let us limit.

Governing law and disputes

If something goes wrong, talk to us first. Most problems get solved faster that way.

These terms are governed by the laws of [state or country], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the courts of [place].

If you're a consumer in the EU or the UK, you can also bring a claim in the courts where you live, and you keep the protection of your local consumer law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site and the game grow, and we update the date at the top when we do. For important changes, we post a notice on the site, and email players with accounts where we can, before the changes take effect. If you keep using the site after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree with them, stop using the site and ask us to delete your account.

This is the first version of these terms.

General terms

• These terms, with the Community Guidelines, are the whole agreement between you and us about the site.
• If a court finds that part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
• If we don't enforce part of these terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
• We may transfer these terms to a company that takes over VTuber Smash. You can't transfer them without our permission.

A direct contact address for questions about these terms, fan art and your account will be listed here soon.
