Hello Volganos!
Thanks for your inquiry, and we’re glad to see interest in E-mote and Emofuri from around the world. Sorry for the delay in our response, and thanks for your patience. We appreciate that you are taking the time to understand the terms of use.
Emofuri can be used for commercial purposes as long as you are using it as an individual or a hobbyist, and aren’t part of a company. This includes personal commissions you make as an individual or small scale group projects. If you make more than ten million yen a year with these activities, you qualify as a company, rather than an individual or hobbyist.
Even if you take a commission as an individual, it is not permitted for the resulting creation to be sold by a company. Individuals / hobbyists may not sell the data they create with Emofuri to a company for them to use in a commercial project.
If you are doing business with a company, please purchase the commercial version of Emofuri, known as E-mote.
Free distribution falls under the same rules. Hobbyists and individuals can use Emofuri for free distribution. Those who qualify as companies must purchase the full version of E-mote.
Additionally, as an individual, you are only allowed to sell the images and movies outputted from Emofuri. You are not permitted to resell the Emofuri project data (.MMO files).
I hope this explains things clearly. Please let us know if you have any further questions!
