"PICO PARK" Series Gameplay Video Usage Guidelines
Thank you for playing the "PICO PARK" series (hereinafter referred to as "Our Titles").
To allow more people to discover and enjoy Our Titles, we have established these guidelines regarding the use of game footage, images, character assets, and other materials (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Game Footage").
When creating and posting livestreams, videos, thumbnails, and related content (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Gameplay Videos") using Game Footage from Our Titles, please comply with the following terms so that everyone may enjoy the content safely.
These guidelines apply solely to individual users who have obtained and are playing Our Titles through legitimate means and are using intellectual property owned by us (PICO PARK Inc. / TECOPARK Inc.). If your Gameplay Videos include intellectual property owned by third parties (including characters, music, etc. featured in collaboration titles with other companies), separate terms or permission from the respective rights holders may be required. Please understand that we cannot respond to individual inquiries regarding the ownership of specific rights.
In addition, specific titles may have their own individual terms or copyright usage guidelines for Gameplay Videos, which will take precedence over these guidelines. Please be sure to check the official website for each respective title as well.
1. Permitted Platforms
You may post and share Gameplay Videos on the following platforms:
- Personal, non-commercial blogs and websites
- YouTube, Twitch, Niconico Video / Live, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and other video-sharing platforms or social media services
However, you may not post Gameplay Videos on platforms or pages that fall under any of the following:
- Sites containing obscene, violent, or other content offensive to public order and morals
- Sites that unfairly damage the reputation or credibility of our company or Our Titles
- Sites that violate applicable laws and regulations
- Any other sites deemed inappropriate by our company
2. Monetization
Using Gameplay Videos for commercial or for-profit purposes is prohibited. However, as an exception, you may monetize your content solely through official partner programs provided by video-sharing platforms and social media services such as YouTube and Twitch (including advertising revenue, Super Chat, etc.). If a video-sharing platform inquires about your right to use the Game Footage for such partner programs, please refer them to these guidelines.
3. Copyright and Use of Official Assets
All copyrights to the Game Footage belong to our company or the rightful copyright holders.
Within the scope of these guidelines, you may also use images and logo assets published on the official websites of Our Titles when creating Gameplay Videos and thumbnails. However, for images containing intellectual property owned by third parties, please check the specific rules for the respective title.
4. Prohibition of Misleading Representation as Official Content
You may not advertise, label, or present your Gameplay Videos in a manner that could mislead others into believing they are official or officially endorsed videos of our company.
5. Requests Regarding Content and Editing
When posting Gameplay Videos, please refrain from extracting, splitting, and separately posting specific in-game elements alone (such as music, audio, images, or design data—for example, uploading a BGM compilation), or repurposing them in videos unrelated to Our Titles.
Note that if a gaming console or platform officially supports game-clip sharing features, you may post unedited gameplay clips directly using those features even without adding commentary or live reactions.
6. Prohibition of Cheating and Unauthorized Activities
Posting videos or images that explain, promote, or encourage cheating, data mining, modding, hacking, or unauthorized access is strictly prohibited.
7. Prohibition of Excessive Alteration
When editing or modifying Game Footage from Our Titles, you are prohibited from infringing upon third-party rights or making excessive edits or alterations that misrepresent the actual content of the game.
8. Handling of Unreleased and Unannounced Content
Regarding Game Footage and other content from Our Titles that have not yet reached their official release or service launch date (hereinafter referred to as "Unreleased Game Footage"), you may only use Game Footage and promotional materials officially released by us (including footage from official demos and open beta tests) in your Gameplay Videos.
Posting unreleased content not officially disclosed by us or engaging in any other unauthorized disclosure of information (leaks) is strictly prohibited. However, this does not apply when we have individually commissioned or granted permission to a company or individual to use the content or publish videos.
9. Consideration Regarding Spoilers (Puzzle Solutions, etc.)
When posting or streaming videos whose primary purpose is to show stage clear procedures or exact puzzle solutions, please be considerate so as not to spoil the experience for other players who have yet to play the game—for example, by clearly including labels such as "Spoiler Alert" or "Walkthrough / Guide" in your video title, description, or thumbnail.
10. Prohibited Content
In addition to the provisions above, posting Gameplay Videos containing any of the following is prohibited:
- Content that is obscene, violent, or otherwise offensive to public order and morals

- Content that unfairly damages the reputation or credibility of our company or Our Titles
- Any other content deemed inappropriate by our company

However, if we request the removal of your Gameplay Videos at our sole discretion (including cases where a rightful third-party holder requests removal through us), you must promptly comply with our request. Furthermore, please be aware that if you post Gameplay Videos in violation of these guidelines or our requests, in addition to having the videos removed, you may be held liable to compensate our company and the rightful holders for any damages incurred.
