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 T from Staff asking if you'd like to contact the Webmaster, Veery-P. 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 (politics for example).

DO. NOT. I MEAN IT.

• This one's important. Do not use the zipzapUTAU voicebanks to harass Staff. If you try to, it'll be taken down as soon as Sunny sees. This includes making the voicebanks talk negatively about Staff, and editing the official art to make them hate on Staff.

• 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!)

• If you use the official artwork or have purchased a commission through our Ko-fi, please do not remove Sunny's signature (or any of the hidden signatures. Only Sunny can do this for official ZipZap stuff.)

• Do not use the voices of the zipzapUTAUs for your own voicebank (as in stealing the samples and claiming them as your own). If you see someone do this, please notify Sunny at sunny@zipzapproductions.com. Derivatives with custom blob OCs are perfectly fine!

• Don't make artificial intelligence (AI) voice clones of the zipzapUTAU VBs, put their artwork through AI image/video generators, or make chatbots of the characters. This is theft! We'll DMCA the hell outta you for stealing our characters! WE KNOW HOW! And Veery-P had a sora addiction...

• 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. Hate will not be tolerated. Do not edit the official art to be hateful. See: first rule.

• No NSFW art without permission. The blobs only do that kinda stuff if two or more consenting adult blobs want to start a family or add another child to an existing family. Kissing is seen as sexual in-universe as that's how the Blob species reproduce.
  However, if you really want to draw blobs getting it on, ask Sunny first. Adult blobs only. No problematic pairings. Sunny will tell you if it's okay or not.

• There is a blacklist of song types, songs and 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. We cannot remove blacklisted users. 

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