Licenses & Rights Guide

Licenses & Rights Guide (Preview)

This page summarizes KyaraFlip’s ("the Service") approach to licenses and rights management for UGC.
The binding source of truth is the Terms of Service. This guide may change without notice and does not constitute legal advice.

1. Terminology

  • work (作品 “Works”): The primary unit for copyright ownership and revenue distribution; includes the work page and metadata.
  • live card (Artifact): Characters or other asset elements. Rights and splits follow the work they belong to.
  • world / staging: Templates for lighting, audio, camera, and other effects.
  • Flip: The trigger that replays a work/character or highlights a scene.

2. Core principles

  • Copyright is managed per work. If a live card needs a different split, create a derivative work linked to that live card.
  • Live Cards follow the licence of their parent work. Even if a live card has a custom licence, the work’s licence governs in-service usage (replays, staging, distribution, payouts). To apply different terms, register a derivative work.
  • When a live card is not yet linked to a work, the KyaraFlip Fundamental License (KFL) applies by default. The live card detail page surfaces this fallback note until the creator assigns a work.
  • Uploaders must self-attest that they own the necessary rights (or have proper permission) and confirm the content does not infringe third-party rights.
  • Each work must record the rights holder name and license. If unknown, mark it accordingly and provide a URL or predefined option for the license.
  • The default license is the KyaraFlip Fundamental License (KFL). Creators may also choose Creative Commons (CC BY / CC BY-NC / CC0) or supply a custom license URL.
    If the license conflicts with the Terms of Service, the Terms prevail.
  • When a claim or dispute is filed, the team may hide the work, pause payouts, or adjust credit/splits as needed.
  • Ownership changes or transfers require documentation. After review, we update the display and split settings; historical accounting entries remain as recorded.

3. LLM processing, logs & audits

  • Content uploaded to the Service may be processed by LLMs or similar systems to provide features.
  • For quality, safety, and legal compliance, submissions can be stored in audit logs and reviewed by moderators.
  • Whether data is used for training follows the policies in the Terms, privacy notice, and in-product settings.

4. Submission checklist (UI requirements)

  • I am the rights holder or have obtained the necessary permissions, and my upload does not infringe third-party rights (copyright, trademark, likeness, etc.).
  • I understand that revenue is distributed per work, and live cards require derivative works for separate splits.
  • I have specified a license (KFL / CC / custom URL) and acknowledge that the Terms of Service take precedence.
  • I consent to LLM processing and audit logging as part of the moderation policy.

5. License options

  • KFL (recommended/default): Optimized for replay, distribution, and highlight creation within the Service.
  • CC BY 4.0 / CC BY-NC 4.0 / CC0 1.0: Use a standard license when you want a widely recognized reuse scope.
  • Custom license: Provide a URL and a short summary in English/Japanese. Include a note clarifying that the summary does not supersede the full license text.

Third-party use within the Service

  • Other users may Flip, embed, or create staged variants of works/live cards within the Service only.
  • Off-service reuse or redistribution remains subject to the work licence. If monetisation is involved, the Creator Support Guidelines apply.
  • Possible safeguards: document in KFL that such reuse is part of platform functionality and handle revenue via distribution; alternatively flag “non-commercial” works so they cannot automatically power paid features (requires UI/feature support).

6. Claims (takedown) & payout holds

  1. Receive a claim → temporarily hide the work or pause revenue (and unpublish if required).
  2. Notify the uploader → accept counter-notices where applicable.
  3. Evaluate evidence → adjust credits/splits, keep the work hidden, or restore it.
  4. Pre-settlement payouts may be held in escrow or offset at the team’s discretion.

7. Priority & changes

  • If this guide or a custom license conflicts with the Terms, the Terms of Service take precedence.
  • During preview the policy may change without prior notice; updates are published on this page.
