Content Usage / License Agreement [v.1.2] (Patreon)

Personal Use License Agreement: 

The Personal Use License Agreement applies to anyone that uses our content without a commercial license. This includes but is not limited to:

(1) Members of the PeaPu Patreon subscribed at tiers with the description of "Personal Use".
(e.g. Tier 1 Boop Patrons or Tier 2 Boopantry Patrons).

(2) Users who purchase our content on other platforms
(e.g. purchases made from Cartographyassets, Gumroad, Roll20, The Forge, etc.)

(3) Users who download our publicly available content (free content).
(e.g. anyone who downloads content without purchase or subscription) 

The Personal Use License Agreement allows for the following:
(1)You may print and use our content such as maps, tokens, or assets at home for your personal tabletop games.

(2) You may use our content online in virtual tabletops such as but not limited to Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, and Foundry VTT. 

(3) You may use our content to create non-profit products; free adventures, settings, campaigns, and worlds or articles on sites such as World Anvil.
(These non-profit products must forever remain free and cannot be converted to a paid product upon acquisition of a commercial license)

Personal Use License Commercial Exceptions:

This is a list of exceptions that apply to the Personal Use License Agreement that allow minor forms of commercialization.

(1) Paid Game Masters
- Sample Scenario: You are a game master and provide your story-telling services to run games for a fee. You use our assets to create maps which are used in your paid games

You are not required to have a commercial license for the use of maps that include our assets in your paid games.

(2) Streaming & Youtube 
- Sample Scenario: You are run a weekly game of your favorite TTRPG with your friends and stream it on Twitch. Your games often contain maps made with PeaPu assets. People subscribe to your channel financing your operations.

You may use any free or exclusive PeaPu content that you have access to, on video streaming such as but not limited to, Twitch, YouTube, Odysee, etc. You are permitted to commercialize your video content without a commercial license.

(3) Amateur Commission Artists
- Sample Scenario: You made some great maps, and were asked by someone to make them a map for money. You agreed but didn't know how often you were doing it so decided to use some PeaPu assets for this particular map. 

If you find yourself using our art irregularly for your commissions (not reliant on it for a majority of your projects), then you can monetize your services without acquiring a commercial license. However, if you find yourself regularly using our assets, then the acquisition of such a license becomes necessary.

Limited Commercial Use License Agreement

The Limited Commercial Use Agreement in this context is applied to anyone that has acquired a commercial license from us by subscribing to our Patreon Tiers that allow for commercial use (clearly stated in their description).
This is currently the only way of acquiring a commercial license.

[Subscribing]
As soon as you subscribe to a commercial tier the Limited Commercial Use License Agreement applies to any product you then create with our content going forwards.

[Unsubscribing]
If at any time you end your pledge to us at at a commercial tier on Patreon, you may not produce any new commercial products using our content.
(Older products created while you were pledged to us at a commercial tier on Patreon remain covered under this agreement.)

[Usage]
With the Limited Commercial Use Agreement, You may use any content that you have access to, both publicly available (free) and exclusive in your commercial products provided they abide by the limitations outlined in this license agreement.

You can use our content in almost all projects related to tabletop roleplaying games. This includes but is not limited to: the creation of modules, adventures, campaigns, books, and maps. They may be sold on sites such as but not limited to: DMsGuild, DrivethruRPG, Roll20, The Forge and CartographyAssets.

[Attribution]
Attribution must be included in any instance of your created content that uses our art. Attribution is considered as information that can allow the end-user to find us at any of our official marketplaces.
Examples:
(1) This product was made using assets created by PeaPu (www.patreon.com/PeaPu )
(2) Made this cool map using PeaPu stuff, you can find them here (https://cartographyassets.com/creator/peapu/)
(3) Here is a link to all assets used in the creation of my map
(Hyperlink to a page with our name and link listed among other

[Third-party Commercial Use]
The work you create using our assets is yours. You may pass on a commercial license of your own to third parties. However, third parties may not resell your work 'as is' and must include it as part of a larger project.

(i.e. You can sell your map to a third-party who may then sell a book containing the map or an adventure module or whatever other larger project. They cannot resell your map. In order to do so, they would have to be subscribed to our Patreon at a commercial tier, follow the license regulation outlined here, and have permission to sell your work from you.)

Credit must still be given to us by the third-party.
Example:
Map 'X' made by MapMaker69 using PeaPu assets (www.patreon.com/PeaPu)

Restrictions

Both the Commercial Use and Personal Use agreements cover the majority of the content your usage may require, however, there are a number of restrictions to the use of our content that these agreements DO NOT cover.

(1) If you are running a larger business (any financial endeavors that produce over $25,000 annually in sales revenue) that intends to utilize our art, you ARE NOT authorized to use any of our content and the above content use agreements do not apply. Instead you are encouraged to contact us directly via available means to create a separate agreement.

(2) You are NOT authorized to use ANY content for redistribution in part or whole for free or for sale as art displays or part of an art collection, for print-on-demand designs, or mass distribution / production. 

(3) You are not allowed to use or modify our content with any generative artificial intelligence programs such as but not limited to: Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and DALL-E.  This restriction includes training AI programs on our content. 

(4) You may modify our art for your own personal use, however you may not share that modified art publicly regardless of whether you distribute it freely or commercially.

If you wish to discuss any of the above license terms with us or if you want to craft a unique license for your purposes then please contact us through the Patreon Messaging system first.
