pixiv Service Master Terms of Use
pixiv updated two documents: the main Creator/Master Terms now let a Creator optionally give pixiv joint ownership of the copyright in their posted work (so pixiv can enforce it against infringers), and the 'Pastela' drawing-app terms were rewritten to add a new 'Material File' (brush/settings file) system with new disclaimers, sale rules, and new company discretion over cloud storage and posting features.
New option to let pixiv co-own the copyright to your posted work
pixiv added a feature where, if you choose to turn it on, your copyright in a posted work becomes jointly held by you and pixiv. This lets pixiv independently go after people who infringe your work, but it also means part of your copyright is now legally shared with the company rather than being yours alone. You keep the right to use, license, or sell the work freely, and pixiv can't otherwise exploit it without your consent, so the downside is limited if you don't opt in.
“If a Creator chooses to share the copyright in their Posted Content with the Company, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the copyright shall be jointly owned by the Creator who created and registered the Posted Content and the Company”
What you can do — This is opt-in — only enable copyright sharing if you're comfortable giving pixiv joint ownership and independent enforcement rights over that specific piece of content.
CONTENT LICENSE
pixiv can now restrict what you can store or post in Pastela
Previously, once you linked your account, you could store, view, delete, and post your drawing files as described in the terms. Now those same actions are only available 'within the scope permitted by the Company,' meaning pixiv can narrow or restrict these features at its own discretion without the terms specifying limits.
“The User can, within the scope permitted by the Company, do the following by carrying out Account Linkage:”
UNILATERAL CHANGES
No guarantee your brush/settings files will keep working
pixiv added language saying it does not promise that Material Files (like custom brush settings) — whether made by you or obtained from someone else — will keep working in the app. If a file you rely on or paid for stops functioning, pixiv isn't responsible.
“The Company does not guarantee that Material Files will permanently function on the App.”
LIABILITY LIMITS
You're responsible if a sold or shared Material File causes a dispute
If you buy, sell, or transfer Material Files with other users, pixiv now explicitly says it won't get involved if something goes wrong between you and that other person, and warns that a file could be misused by third parties after it's shared — the risk and resolution are entirely on you.
“The Company shall not be involved in any dispute between a User and a third party, and the User shall resolve such dispute at his or her own responsibility.”
What you can do — Be cautious about selling or sharing Material Files, since pixiv will not help resolve disputes or misuse involving them.
