Roboto Games Streaming Policy
Effective Date: May 4th, 2020
We hope that you enjoy our games and we support your interest in producing gameplay videos, whether live or recorded, that share your gaming experiences with others and use images, video, sound effects, in-game music or other assets from our games (collectively “Content,” and such videos leveraging Content, “Videos”). Please note, however, that in most cases using our Content without our permission is illegal and a violation of our rights. This policy helps inform you of the limited rights we grant you to share your experience with our Content with the public in your Videos.
Use of Content
You may only use our Content in your Videos for non-commercial uses, except as we expressly state under this Streaming Policy. You may not license your Video to any company or anyone else for a fee or other form of compensation or for any other commercial use without first receiving our specific written permission to do so. Further, any of your Videos must contain commentary, gameplay, or sufficient originality to make it, in our sole discretion, educational or promotional.
We permit you to receive payment based on the following two methods, provided you comply with the other portions of this Streaming Policy:
Monetization of your Video through advertisements served by the platform which hosts your Video such as YouTube or Twitch (a “Platform”).
Receiving donations via a donation link posted on your profile or in the Video description on a Platform.
Distribution of your Videos
Subject to our Terms of Service and this Streaming Policy, you may create Videos using our Content, and you’re free to make these Videos available on websites where viewers are permitted to view these Videos without any charge of any kind.
What you may not include in your Videos
You may not include in any Video (nor anywhere linked near or on the same webpage as the Video) any content that is prohibited under the Terms of Service and the following:
Anything that could imply that the Video is produced by us or that we endorse you or your Video (unless you have an endorsement relationship with us as covered by a separate written or other agreement);
Any information related to cheats, hacks, exploits, or third party programs, including links to any of the foregoing; nor
Uses of our Content that breach applicable law or are derogatory to us or that, in our discretion, may damage the value, goodwill, or reputation of us, our affiliates, our products, Content, or brands.
Any behavior or conduct that violates public morals and ethics.
Ratings
Your Video should match the ratings guidelines for the game to which it relates and must not in any event contain any content that would violate the “E” rating of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (“ESRB”) or the “12” rating of the Pan European Game Information (“PEGI”).
Required Disclaimer on your Videos
In any Video that you provide, you must include a prominent disclaimer (either at the beginning of the Video or, if live-streaming, below or near the Video in a visible font) as follows:
Portions of this content, including trademarks and copyrights, are owned by Roboto Games, and all such rights are reserved by Roboto Games. This content is not endorsed or approved by Roboto Games.
Some additional important information
As solely determined by us, we may terminate your right to host, distribute or otherwise make available a Video for business or other reasons without notice or liability to you. In such cases, we may (but do not have to) contact you or applicable websites or Platforms regarding terminating such rights to any such Video.
