The Vixine Avatar Base package contains one unique 3D character model with supporting clothing accessories, for personal use only. While it may be edited and presented with your own changes, you do not at any time hold ownership of the mesh through the purchase of this asset pack.

It is for private use, and is subject to commercial use licensing fees and other restrictions beyond the small creator clause. Should you wish to use these models in a commercial capacity, it is requested you speak to Hecka via email.

We do not collect any user information beyond what you provide your storefront at purchase. Contact information such as your Discord or VRChat handle are divulged at your own discretion, though are unavoidable if you wish to participate with the SpaceCat community in any capacity.

We retain all copyrights to the 2D and 3D assets used in the creation of the Vixine. At no point will editing the textures, mesh, or other assets transfer copyright of it to you, in part or in whole.

This includes:

1. Recoloring or retexturing the base model
2. recoloring or retexturing assets attached to the base model- hair, tail, clothing, and so on.
3. Edits, in any other capacity, to the assets included within this package

If, at any time, we receive notice of copyright infringement, we will act to protect our rights as the original creator of these models. In the event that you feel we have infringed on your copyright, please contact hecka via email.

A derivative work is a work based on or derived from one or more already existing works; and the unauthorized adaptation of a work may constitute copyright infringement.

For example, creating assets with a different shape but in a way that directly mimics the original Vixine asset could constitute copyright infringement. Any new assets created that are “inspired by” or “referenced”, with obvious influence from the original model’s design, shall not be sold without written permission from Hecka.

Any Derivative Works sold without permission shall be subject to licensing and additional fees, depending on the volume sold. As the original creator of the Vixine species and the assets used therein, we reserve all rights and privileges granted under Copyright law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the creator and their authorized agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, cost or debt, and expenses arising from (i) your use of this model, (ii) your violation of these terms, (iii) your violation of any other laws, and (iv) your personal online conduct.
