Fan Content Policy

Soulbound Fan Content Policy

At Soulbound, we deeply value our community and the incredible creativity it brings. Whether you’re streaming, drawing, modding, remixing music, or making merch—we’re here to support you. This policy is designed to be relaxed, fair, and pro-creator. We want to help you bring your love for Soulbound to life, responsibly and respectfully.

1. Why This Policy Exists

We know fan content can be confusing legally. This policy clears the path for what you can and can’t do with Soulbound’s intellectual property. Our goal: empower creators while protecting the world we’re building.

2. What’s Covered

This policy applies to in-game content from Soulbound.game, including:

  • Game art, screenshots, audio, dialogue, characters, and storylines
  • Avatars, UI, environments, and lore
  • Gameplay footage, streams, and in-game experiences

This policy does not cover:

  • Source code or underlying game software
  • Soulbound or Spiderware logos and trademarks (unless permission is granted)

3. What You’re Allowed To Do

If you follow this policy, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-commercial, revocable, non-transferable licence to make and share fan content. That includes:

3.1 Content Creation

  • Streaming Soulbound on platforms like Twitch and YouTube
  • Uploading videos and clips with commentary, overlays, or edits
  • Creating fan art, fan fiction, and in-world lore extensions
  • Making remixes or covers of in-game music (without using original tracks)

3.2 Limited Sales

We love handmade merch and want to support creators. So:

  • We don’t mind if you sell 100 units of a fan-made product per design (including physical goods like prints, keychains, or hand-painted items)
  • Production must be by hand or via a small third-party factory run (no print-on-demand platforms)
  • Each version must be visibly distinct (e.g., size, shape—not just colour)
  • Clearly state “Fan-made, unlicensed item. Created under Soulbound’s Fan Content Policy.”

We will not object to this kind of limited, good-faith community merch.

4. What You Can’t Do

You may not:

  • Sell mass-produced or print-on-demand items using Soulbound content
  • Claim your content is officially licensed, endorsed, or affiliated with Soulbound
  • Host private servers or recreate the Game’s code or gameplay
  • Use Soulbound IP in hateful, or discriminatory content
  • Imitate or replicate our website, branding, or game interface to mislead others

5. Credits

All fan content must include this notice (in video descriptions, product pages, or readme files):

“Created using Soulbound content under the terms of the Soulbound Fan Content Policy. This content is not officially affiliated with or endorsed by Soulbound.”

6. Ownership and Rights

  • We retain full ownership of all Soulbound intellectual property
  • We may revoke your licence to use our content at any time for any reason
  • By publishing fan content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to showcase, repost, or reference your work in our community channels and marketing

7. If You Break the Rules

If your content breaches this policy:

  • We’ll usually ask you to fix or remove it
  • If you don’t comply, legal action may follow
  • Repeated or serious breaches may result in bans or DMCA takedowns

We try to avoid copyright strikes unless necessary. We want to work with you—not against you.

8. Need Clarification or Want Commercial Rights?

Want to:

  • Use Soulbound IP for a big Kickstarter?
  • Make over 100 units?
  • Collaborate with us on something bigger?

Contact us: legal@spiderware.gg

We’re open to cool partnerships and good-faith commercial proposals.

10. Updates

We reserve the right to update this policy at any time. If you continue making fan content after changes are published, you agree to the updated terms.

For questions or requests, email us at legal@spiderware.gg.

Keep creating. Keep exploring. Soulbound thrives because of you.
