Consequently, Artstorm explicitly prohibits the use of its Game(s) and/or Artstorm Materials for political purposes, as outlined above. The Content must not include any political symbols, logos, attributes, slogans, appeals, statements, or other politically oriented content unless such content is officially added to the Game(s) by Artstorm.

2. GENERAL RULES FOR ARTSTORM PARTNERS

2.1. Artstorm may enter into a partnership agreement with select Creators (referred to as “Artstorm Content Partner” or “Partners”). If a Creator becomes an Artstorm Content Partner, their Content may include a unique referral link, as outlined in the terms of the partnership agreement.

Under no circumstances may a Creator who is not an Artstorm Content Partner impersonate a Partner, use their individual referral link, or otherwise act as a Partner.

2.2. Artstorm Content Partners must not engage in activities that, in Artstorm’s sole discretion, contradict these Guidelines or violate any principles set forth herein or that may harm (or potentially harm) Artstorm or its Game(s).

For example, Artstorm Content Partners are prohibited from distributing content that promotes xenophobia or misanthropy or encourages illegal activities. This rule applies across all public-facing media, whether related directly to the Game(s) (such as YouTube or Twitch channels) or other platforms (like personal websites or social media).

2.3. Based on complaints or violations of these Guidelines, Artstorm may suspend or terminate a partnership if the Artstorm Content Partner violates Clause 2.2 or any other terms of the partnership contract. This may occur at any time, and Artstorm will not be held liable for any damages resulting from the suspension or termination. If Artstorm chooses to suspend or terminate the cooperation, it will notify the Creator, but no prior notice or justification is required.
