FOAMSTARS Live Streaming and Video/Image Posting Guidelines

Last Updated: Monday Jan 29 2024 15:00 GMT

Square Enix Co., Ltd. ("Square Enix”) is pleased to receive requests from everyone interested in sharing videos and images of our games online, but we ask that you be mindful of a few things, as set out in these guidelines (the "Guidelines”).

Square Enix permits you to post online and otherwise use certain content from FOAMSTARS (the "Game”) subject to these Guidelines.

[Game Materials]

The “Materials” consist of the following content from the Game:

  • Gameplay footage, still images, characters, and music from the Game;
  • Text and information from the Game; and
  • Text, information, images, and video footage published on the Game’s official website including the fankit.

[Permitted Uses]

You may post the Materials online for the following permitted personal uses (the "Permitted Uses”) only:

  • Posting in-game images and footage on social media platforms, blog(s) or microblog(s).
  • Sharing gameplay videos on video sharing sites (such as YouTube and Twitch).

[Legal Notices]

Please display the following legal lines when posting/streaming:

© SQUARE ENIX

If an image or video is captured using the features in a game console, the lines above may be displayed automatically. If you are using these images or videos as-is, you do not need to display them yourself.

  • Do not delete or alter any legal notices included with the Materials.
  • On platforms that have limited space for text, such as X (Twitter), you do not need to display the legal notices.
  • If multiple images and/or videos are posted on a single page, you may display the legal notices collectively in one place for the entire page, rather than with each individual image or video.

[Usage Guidelines and Restrictions]

  • You may not use the Materials except as expressly described in the Permitted Uses above. You may not use any other materials owned or controlled by Square Enix without Square Enix’s prior written consent.
  • You are responsible for following these Guidelines when livestreaming and/or posting content that incorporates the Materials.
  • You may not use the Materials for any sales or commercial use, meaning you cannot receive license fees or advertising revenue, except as part of the partner programs operated by YouTube, Twitch, or similar programs provided the applicable video sharing site / similar service has a music usage license agreement with the Japan Society for Rights of Authors, Composers, and Publishers (JASRAC). If the operator of a partner program seeks to confirm our policy, please point them to this page as we do not have the resources to respond to all requests. As an exception, this restriction against commercial use will not be enforced against influencers for earning revenue or wages from corporate entities through the streaming of gameplay.
  • You may not use the Materials to promote anything, including other products or services.
  • Posting audio tracks and/or music data as standalone content, and/or posting video content with the sole intention of providing access to the Game’s music, is not permitted. Content playing music over a still image will be considered to fall under this restriction. Shared content that has been judged to exist to share the Game’s music may be deleted or monetized by the copyright holder.
  • You must comply with the applicable platform’s terms of use.
  • You may not use the Materials in any content that is or could appear to be offensive, racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, hateful, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, controversial, or otherwise inappropriate or illegal (including any use on or in connection with any piracy sites), or in any content that promotes any of the foregoing.
  • You may not share Materials on a site or service which i) requires payment to access or use, ii) is limited to viewers 18 years and older, iii) goes against public order and standards of decency, and/or iv) is affiliated with religious / political / antisocial activities.
  • You must immediately comply with any request from Square Enix to remove Materials from any shared content, website, or service, regardless of whether Square Enix provides a reason for the request or not. Square Enix reserves the right to require removal of any content incorporating the Materials that it deems to be inappropriate in its sole discretion. Square Enix may submit takedown requests to third parties for any Materials at Square Enix’s sole discretion.
  • When uploading to video sharing sites, you may receive a warning that it infringes on copyrights due to the music data it contains. If you believe the video does not violate the Guidelines, please file an objection with the site.
