Terms of Use

The zipzapUTAU voicebanks are pretty useful - but PLEASE, read this before you go and mess with them!

First up: the things you CAN do. Make sure you read the entire terms of use.

• Use them like any other UTAUloid.

• (If you do use them, there's a chance of our artist Berry asking if you'd like to contact the Webmaster. This is perfectly normal.)

• Feel free to draw fanart and make covers.

• Mess with their insides!!!!!!!!!! (Voicebank config edits!) (Some have really bad OTOs. Nebula can't say the S in Su.)

Grey Area Stuff!

• Commercial use time! If you are a well known vocal synth producer - GO AHEAD! No permission needed! Just notify the one person running this site via email so he can happy stim and squeal in joy for hours on end.
  But, if you are a large soulless corporation, good luck trying to pay us to use the characters. If you do make very-high-quality plushies (bonus points if you can add sound modules!) and/or high-quality figurines, that's an exception.
  Small businesses are exempt from this. As long as nobody's problematic.

DO. NOT. I MEAN IT.

• Do not redistribute the zipzapUTAU voicebanks. Instead, link to the homepage. (If one or all of the voicebanks do get discontinued, there usually is a reason for it to happen!)

• Do not use the voices of the zipzapUTAUs for your own voicebank. If you see someone do this, please notify Sunny at sunny@zipzapproductions.com.

• Don't make artificial intelligence (AI) voice clones of the zipzapUTAU VBs, put their artwork through AI image generators, or make chatbots of the characters. This is theft! We'll DMCA the hell outta you for stealing our characters! Except we don't know HOW!!!

• Do NOT use the zipzapUTAUs for negativity of any kind - such as discrimination, hate, and politics (personal or for profit - any and all real-life politics break the terms of use!). Do not let the zipzapUTAUs get political in any way, shape, or form. Thin ice for national anthems. Chiikit politics are okay.

• No NSFW art of Stella, Marula, Stan, Mia, Lillia, or Topaz. These characters are underaged, plus Stella, Stan, Lillia and Topaz were created and voiced by minors.

• There is a blacklist of songs/artists found here.

• Blacklist of forbidden users can be found here. If there's a problematic person that needs to be added to the list, please email us.

If any of this happens - PLEASE NOTIFY US!!!
And remember: If Sunny sees, it's canon! (unless mentioned that it's not or it breaks the TOU)
