Terms of Service & End-User License Agreement (EULA)

Via’s Network and asset store[s] Last Updated: 7/5/2026

These Terms of Service and End-User License Agreement ("Terms") govern the purchase and use of digital goods sold by Viakole, including but not limited to VRChat world assets, avatar prefabs, and shaders. By purchasing, downloading, or using any Product, you, the buyer, agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not purchase or use the Products.

1. Definitions

• Product: Any digital asset sold by the Seller, including world assets, avatar prefabs, shaders, textures, or related files.
• Personal Use License: The right to use a Product on content the Buyer owns and does not sell or transfer to others for compensation.
• Complete Product: A finished item (avatar, world, or asset) that incorporates one or more of the Seller's Products as a component, and is itself sold or distributed to a third party.
• End Recipient: A third party who receives, purchases, or uses a Complete Product built using the Seller's Product.
• Dual-License Requirement: A condition under which both the Buyer and the End Recipient must separately hold a valid license to the Seller's Product before the End Recipient may use the Complete Product.

2. General License Grant

Purchase of a Product grants the Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Product according to the terms below. Ownership of the Product (including source files, shader code, and models) remains with the Seller at all times. You are purchasing a license to use the Product, not the underlying intellectual property.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all licenses are for use within VRChat only. Use in other platforms or engines is not permitted without separate written permission.

Dependencies required to use a Product (e.g., a paid base avatar, a paid shader that a world asset relies on, or other third-party assets) are the Buyer's own responsibility to legally acquire. The Seller is not responsible for supplying or licensing dependencies not sold by the Seller.

3. Product-Specific Terms

3.1 World Assets

• May be used freely in public, free-to-access VRChat worlds.
• May be used in paid/gated worlds, subject to the Dual-License Requirement in Section 6.
• May not be extracted, repackaged, or redistributed as a standalone asset pack.

3.2 Avatar Prefabs

• May be used on avatars distributed for free (public models).
• May be used on avatars sold for compensation (paid models), subject to the Dual-License Requirement in Section 6.
• May not be used to create competing prefab products or resold/redistributed as a standalone asset.

3.3 Shaders

• May be used freely on personal, non-commercial projects.
• May not be resold, repackaged, or distributed as a standalone product, whether modified or unmodified.
• May be used as a component of a Complete Product (e.g., a world or avatar that is sold), subject to the Dual-License Requirement in Section 6.

4. Prohibited Uses (All Products)

Regardless of Product type, Buyers may not:

1. Redistribute, share, leak, or upload the Product's original files, modified or unmodified, anywhere, including but not limited to file-sharing sites, "ripping"/asset-leak websites, Discord servers, or public repositories.
2. Resell the Product as a standalone item, or claim authorship or ownership of it.
3. Use the Product in any way that infringes on the rights of others or violates VRChat's Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
4. Use the Product to create content that is illegal, hateful, or sexually exploitative.
5. Knowingly deliver a Complete Product to an End Recipient without ensuring the Dual-License Requirement (Section 6) is met.
6. Chargeback or dispute a legitimate purchase after receiving and using the Product.

Violation of these Terms results in immediate revocation of license without refund, and may result in DMCA action as described in Section 9.

5. (Reserved)

(Intentionally left blank for future Terms updates.)

6. Complete Products, Resale & Dual-Licensing

Buyers may incorporate a Product into a Complete Product and sell or distribute that Complete Product to others (for example: a world built using the Seller's grass shader, or a commissioned avatar built using the Seller's prefab).

However:

• The Buyer may only do this if each End Recipient who receives or purchases the Complete Product separately holds a valid license to the underlying Seller Product used within it.
• It is the Buyer's responsibility to inform End Recipients of this requirement and to reasonably confirm compliance before delivery.
• If a Complete Product is sold or given to an End Recipient who does not hold a valid license to the Seller Product it contains, this constitutes a violation of these Terms regardless of whether the violation originates from the Buyer's failure to disclose the requirement or the End Recipient's failure to obtain a license.

This rule applies uniformly to world assets, avatar prefabs, and shaders.

7. Payment & Refunds

All sales are final. Products are sold as-is. Due to the nature of digital goods, no refunds will be issued once a Product has been delivered or made available for download.

Prices are subject to change without notice; purchases are locked in at the price paid at time of transaction.

8. Updates & Support

Buyers are entitled to free updates to any Product they have purchased, for as long as the Seller continues to support and develop that Product. Support is provided on a best-effort basis via [Discord/email] and is not guaranteed for heavily modified or third party integrated setups.

9. Intellectual Property & DMCA

All Products remain the intellectual property of Viakole a.k.a -VIA-. No transfer of copyright occurs upon purchase.

The Seller reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to file a DMCA takedown notice or pursue other legal remedies against any individual or platform found to be:

• Distributing, leaking, or hosting a Product without authorization, or
• Otherwise violating these Terms in a manner the Seller determines constitutes copyright infringement or unauthorized use.

10. Disclaimer of Warranty

Products are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose or compatibility with future VRChat/Unity SDK updates. The Seller does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Seller shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use a Product, including lost profits or business interruption.

12. Termination

The Seller may terminate a Buyer's license at any time for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, the Buyer must cease all use of the Product and destroy all copies in their possession.

13. Changes to These Terms

The Seller reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of previously purchased Products after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes will be posted on discord.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
