Guidelines for Derivative Works

1. Introduction

MEGALIGHT Inc. (hereafter, “the Company”) has created these Guidelines so that more of you can enjoy trouble-free access to the content provided by the Company in various formats.
Provided that you abide by these Guidelines, there is no need to contact us specifically about Derivative Works based on the Company’s content.

2. What these Guidelines cover

These Guidelines apply to Derivative Works that are based on official characters, images, videos and musical compositions (hereafter referred to as “the Content”) to which the Company holds the exclusive copyright.
In these Guidelines, “Derivative Works” are works based on the Content that you have made using your own creativity and ideas. You should note that unaltered use of the Content, or any work so lacking in creativity that it may be considered equivalent to unaltered use of the Content, is not a Derivative Work covered by these Guidelines and shall be deemed to infringe the Company’s copyright.
The Company shall not assert its rights in respect of users’ works that adhere to these Guidelines and thus qualify as Derivative Works.
