Pixiv's Pastela terms add rules for Material Files and rename illustrations to Canvas Data
The Pastela app terms now cover 'Canvas Data, Etc.' (Pastela-format data, time-lapse recordings and output works) instead of 'Illustrations, Etc.', and add a new 'Material File' category such as brush settings. New clauses say Material Files may stop working, allow users to sell them with limits, and ban reselling look-alikes of third-party files. Posting to linked services and some account-linked features are now limited to what the Company permits.
Taken from you

- Users must manage, sell or transfer their Material Files at their own risk and settle third-party disputes themselves
- Cannot restrict transferees' use of sold Material Files, such as banning commercial use
- Banned from using a third party's Material File to make and sell a similar one
- Backup duty no longer mentions image materials stored in the Cloud Storage, with no stated change in the Company's responsibility
Won back
