Credits
Credits are optional for videos, streams, and games distributed free of charge. However, credits are required when this BGM is used in a game sold for a price.
For a game sold for a price, use the format below in at least one place users can find it, such as the in-game credits, an included README, or the distribution or sales page. If you use multiple tracks, list the title of each track used.
Replace 曲名 with the track title. You may also use this format when optionally crediting videos, streams, or games distributed free of charge.
Except for games sold for a price, you may use the BGM without credits as long as you follow these terms.
Including BGM in games
Including the audio in a game's data to play BGM within that game does not constitute prohibited redistribution of the audio on its own.
However, distributing or selling the audio on its own, in asset collections, game development templates, or similar products intended to provide BGM assets to others is prohibited. Games sold for a price must also meet the credit requirements above.
Processing and editing
Practical edits for videos, streams, and games are permitted. These include looping, fade-ins, fade-outs, volume adjustments, cuts, shortening, simple EQ adjustments, and audio format conversion needed to include the BGM in a game.
However, distributing or selling edited audio as a different BGM asset, or publishing content whose main focus is the audio itself, is prohibited.
Copyright and rights registration
Copyright and other rights that exist in Otoghi Aqua's BGM belong to the audio creator or the respective rights holders. Rights in AI-assisted works vary depending on human creative contributions, source materials and usage conditions; we do not claim that every work has copyright protection. These terms grant permission to use BGM in videos, streams, games, and similar uses; they do not transfer copyright or restrict uses permitted by law.
Registering the audio with Content ID or copyright management organizations, or making rights claims that interfere with others' use, is prohibited.
Track-specific conditions
If a track's video description, download page, or post states separate usage conditions, those conditions take priority. If you are unsure, check the information on the track's public page.
Responsibility and changes to these terms
Check the conditions for the track and the rules of each platform before use. Permission under these terms does not guarantee that no platform decisions or third-party rights claims will arise.
Where the audio creator has liability under applicable law, that law governs the responsibility. These terms do not exclude liability for the audio creator's intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or liability that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Contract Act or other applicable law.
If these terms are revised, we announce the fact of the revision, the changes and their effective date on this page or through another appropriate method before they take effect. Changes are made only to the extent permitted by law, with users' consent where required. Posting revised terms does not by itself impose adverse changes across all existing permissions.
The Japanese version is authoritative; the English version is a translation to assist understanding. In case of differences, the Japanese version is the reference without limiting rights under applicable law. These terms are governed by Japanese law without overriding applicable mandatory legal protections.
