for Free Materials

Yes, you can.
Using the materials as thumbnails for monetized accounts is considered an indirect means of income for creators, so it is permitted.
(*Please note that interpretations may vary among creators. This rule does not apply universally to all materials available online.)

Examples of prohibited actions include:
Selling goods made using the distributed materials.
Selling the materials themselves.
Using the materials in thumbnails or other items distributed as return gifts during monetized streams.
Such actions are considered commercial use or redistribution and are therefore not allowed.

Sharing materials with anyone, even among friends, is considered “redistribution” and is prohibited.
While we truly appreciate your enthusiasm, I kindly ask you to share HAKU’s X account instead of the materials themselves.

This is considered “redistribution” and is prohibited.
However, materials explicitly marked as “Allowed for use as return gifts” on X posts or BOOTH are exceptions and may be given as rewards.

There is absolutely no problem with this.

I want more people to discover HAKU's works.
Through follows and reposts, which are conditions for using these free materials, people have experienced my design quality firsthand, leading to an increase in new work requests such as website development.
Furthermore, through artwork using these materials, I've connected with new content creators and artists, which has become an opportunity to expand HAKU's activities even further.

While most creations are original, AI-generated content is sometimes utilized.
This might include using AI to fill in missing parts of materials, enhance image quality, improve efficiency, or maintain consistency in a unique illustration style. Patterns are generated based on existing creations learned by AI, followed by manual adjustments and refinements. (From a copyright perspective, illustrations created by others are not used.)

Additionally, considering current trends in digital materials, many stock photo platforms increasingly include AI-generated content. It is practically challenging to comprehensively identify and entirely avoid such materials. Given this context, there are cases where AI-generated images may be used.
※ For materials where AI-generated content constitutes a significant portion, they are explicitly labeled as "AI-generated.(AI生成)"

Please refrain from extreme edits like trimming vertical materials into horizontal formats or cutting out just the text parts—it’s simply too much for HAKU’s poor heart to handle...really. Such modifications could also confuse other users. For the sake of fairness and HAKU’s mental well-being, we kindly ask you to keep edits to simple tasks like adding text or logos. If color adjustments are allowed, they will be noted separately.

We live in the age of social media, especially for streamers whose actions can easily spread online. For content creators in particular, recognition is a key part of their business, making their work highly shareable but also exposing them to risks of backlash over minor issues. Please handle materials with care. To maintain your reputation and dignity, always adhere to the guidelines and conduct your activities ethically and responsibly.

If unauthorized use becomes widespread, we may consider switching all materials to paid distribution.
If you discover any violations, please let HAKU know on the down-low :D

Please purchase the paid version which has no conditions attached. Using the free materials without following these requirements is strictly prohibited.
