Hello,

I'm considering purchasing iClone 7, 3DXchange, and Character Creator 2 for use in game development and design. I'm a solo indie game developer that plans to sell games, and I have some questions about the EULA and usage rights.

I understand the distinction between the iContent and Export licenses for assets purchased in the Marketplace etc. My questions are with regards to characters I create using Character Creator, animations I create in iClone, assets purchased with an Export license, and mass distribution rights for video games.

The EULA seems to state that for someone to legally use anything created in iClone or Character Creator (including anything purchased with an Export license) in a video game intended for mass distribution and sale, that additional permission must be sought from Reallusion in the form of a "Free mass distribution rights license agreement letter". To receive this license agreement, developers "must first register their game or application information with Reallusion".

My questions regarding this are as follows:

1. Under what circumstances might Reallusion decline to issue a mass distribution rights license agreement to a game developer? Is the game registration process with Reallusion an "approval" process, or just a formality?

2. What are the terms outlined in the mass distribution rights license agreement? Specifically, I want to know:

Are the distribution rights granted in perpetuity?

    - Does the license ever expire?

    - Could Reallusion, or a parent company (in the event Reallusion is purchased by another company) rescind the license agreement for any reason at any time in the future? If so, on what grounds?


I'm ready to purchase and get to work, I just need to know the answers to these questions first. If someone from Reallusion could please respond with definitive answers, I would greatly appreciate it. I decided to post these questions on the forum instead of sending a private email, because I searched the forums and could not find answers to these questions, and I noticed that these same questions have come up elsewhere on the web when users were discussing Reallusion products.

My concern is obviously that I want to be guaranteed the right to use content created with Reallusion's software in my planned commercial games before committing.

Thank you, hoping to do business with you!
Reki
