MEs Marketplace 3D Model Data — Terms of Use

O Ltd. (the “Rights Holder”) grants users permission to use the Data defined in these Terms, provided that you agree to and comply with these MEs Marketplace 3D Model Data Terms of Use (these “Terms”). You must review these Terms before using the Data. By purchasing, downloading, installing, or otherwise beginning to use the Data by any means, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms. If you are a minor or otherwise lack full legal capacity, you must obtain prior consent from your parent or other legal guardian to agree to these Terms.

Article 1 — Definitions

“Data” — the data listed as licensed in the Individual Conditions and its Parts.
“User” — any individual or legal entity that has legitimately obtained the Data from the Rights Holder or a third party designated by the Rights Holder through proper purchase or download. “Splitting the cost among multiple persons using a single account” is not a proper method.
“Non-commercial with compensation” — acts not intended to generate profit, conducted to receive consideration only to cover material costs and necessary expenses. Acts that generate profit beyond necessary expenses are, in principle, deemed commercial.
“Commercial” — acts that do not fall under Non-commercial with compensation; i.e., acts for business/commercial purposes or to receive consideration.
“Avatar” — images, icons, 3D models, etc., used to represent some entity.
“Social communication platform” — a service that enables one-way or two-way communication with others online.
“Online game platform” — a service that provides games operating online, or the games themselves that operate online.
“Adjustment” — modifications made to the minimum extent necessary to use the Data normally (including minor fixes to weights and rigs).
“Modification” — processing beyond Adjustments that makes the whole or part of the Data different from the original state.
“Parts” — components, materials, or other data obtained by disassembling the Data (including weights and rigs).
“Assignment, etc., of rights / obligations” — having all or part of rights or obligations transferred, lent, pledged as collateral, or assumed by a third party.

Article 2 — Grant of License

1. The Rights Holder grants the User a non-exclusive license to use the Data personally worldwide, during the period specified in the Individual Conditions and the provisions on license changes, in the manner set forth in these Terms. If the User is a minor or otherwise lacks full legal capacity, this applies only if prior consent has been obtained from a legal guardian.

2. Where the Individual Conditions conflict with the Basic Terms, the Individual Conditions prevail. Where Special Notes conflict with other provisions, the Special Notes prevail.

3. Within the scope of these Terms, the User may reproduce the Data for use.

4. Where permission for use with a particular system is granted, such permission includes allowing, to the minimum extent necessary to achieve the purpose, the re-licensing of rights in the Data that the system requires of the User (for example, when uploading to a system whose operator requires a sublicense to use, reproduce, or distribute the Data solely to provide the service). This does not apply where the system's requirements or terms would cause damage or disadvantage to the Rights Holder.

5. If explicitly permitted in the Individual Conditions, the User may outsource Adjustments or Modifications of the Data to a third party (the “Contractor”). In that case, the User must prohibit the Contractor from using the Data for any purpose other than performing the commissioned work under the User's instructions, and the User shall be jointly and severally liable with the Contractor for the Contractor's acts.

6. Any use of the Data not provided for in these Terms requires the Rights Holder's prior express permission.

Article 3 — Disclaimer

The Data is provided “as is.” The Rights Holder makes no warranties as to fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights, absence of defects, or matters arising from laws, culture, business customs, or course of dealing. The User bears all responsibility for use of the Data and shall hold the Rights Holder harmless. The Rights Holder assumes no liability for any damages arising from use of or inability to use the Data. Even where the Rights Holder is liable, absent willful misconduct or gross negligence and unless prohibited by law, liability is limited to direct and ordinary damages up to the price paid for the Data.

Article 4 — Ownership of Rights; Open-Source Software, etc.

All intellectual property and other rights (including copyrights) in the Data and its Parts belong to the Rights Holder or third parties. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, no rights are granted to the User. The Data may contain software or open-source software owned by third parties; such components are licensed under their respective licenses (“Open-Source Licenses”). These Terms do not restrict the User's rights under any Open-Source Licenses, nor grant alternative rights. In case of conflict between these Terms and an Open-Source License, the latter prevails for the relevant portion.

Article 5 — Prohibited Acts; Revocation of License

Infringement of intellectual property (including copyrights, patents, trademarks), privacy, name, portrait, or other rights of the Rights Holder or third parties;
Acts that violate the terms of services provided by the Rights Holder or third parties and thereby cause damage;
Defamation or slander of individuals or organizations, or acts that damage their honor;
Acts that violate these Terms, laws, or public order and morals, or acts likely to do so;
Acts that disadvantage or undermine the trust of the Rights Holder or third parties;
Acts that interfere with the distribution, updates, or withdrawal from publication of the Data by the Rights Holder or designated third parties;
Other acts the Rights Holder reasonably deems inappropriate.

If the User breaches these Terms, the Rights Holder may revoke the license granted to the User. The Rights Holder assumes no responsibility for any disadvantages arising from such revocation.

Article 6 — Liability for Damages; Dispute Resolution

If the User causes damage to the Rights Holder or any third party due to a breach of these Terms, the User shall be liable for all damages, whether direct or indirect, and shall take measures at the User's own responsibility and expense to minimize such damages. Where the Rights Holder gives instructions on the measures, the User shall comply. If a dispute arises with a third party due to the User's breach, the User shall resolve it at the User's own responsibility and expense, and shall not trouble the Rights Holder in any way.

Article 7 — Elimination of Antisocial Forces

The User (and, if a corporation, its officers and employees) represents and warrants, now and in the future, that they are not affiliated with antisocial forces (including organized crime groups, their members, former members within five years, quasi-members, related enterprises, corporate extortionists, groups engaging in social-movement-like extortion, special-intelligence violent groups, and those equivalent thereto), and that they will not engage in illegal acts such as violent acts, deception or threats, or obstruction of business. The User shall not provide the Data or its Parts to antisocial forces, nor commission Adjustments or Modifications to them. If the User violates any provision of this Article, the Rights Holder may revoke the license without notice, owes no compensation, and the User shall compensate the Rights Holder for any damages incurred.

Article 8 — Governing Law, etc.

These Terms are governed by Japanese law and shall be interpreted solely under Japanese law. All disputes arising in connection with the license shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo Summary Court or the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance, depending on the amount in controversy. These Terms and the license under them are made in Japanese; even if a translation exists, it is for reference only, and only the Japanese version binds the Rights Holder and the User. However, where Individual Conditions or specific instructions are provided only in a language other than Japanese, this limitation does not apply to those provisions. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
