Upload Terms & Originality Statement

> Draft v2026-11-13 (replaces the 2026-10-30 version). Must be reviewed by a licensed U.S. attorney before use. Not legal advice.

VELDO is a design platform and a brand of Nidol Inc. In mainland China it is operated by Nidol's wholly-owned subsidiary 澄铭科技（无锡）有限责任公司 ("VELDO", "we", "us"). You must read and accept these terms each time you submit work. The terms in bold affect your rights the most.

1. Originality

1. The work is your own original creation, or you hold every right needed to submit it and grant the rights below. 2. It contains no one else's intellectual property: characters from anime, games or film; brand logos; team or school marks; likenesses of real people; or fonts, photos and assets you aren't licensed to use. 3. You state the creation source truthfully: made by hand, AI-assisted or AI-generated. 4. You have not licensed or transferred the work to anyone else for products, and you will not do so during the Priority Period (Section 4). 5. If the work infringes someone's rights, you are responsible, and you will reimburse our losses (including third-party claims and reasonable attorneys' fees).

2. Who owns the copyright

1. You keep the copyright. Uploading does not transfer it to us. 2. You are always credited as the creator; we show your nickname when we display the work (unless you turn off worldwide display).

3. License you give us when you upload (free)

You grant VELDO a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, sublicensable to Nidol Inc., its affiliates and our service providers, to:

1. store and copy the file, compute its hash and record when we received it, as proof of first submission; 2. evaluate the work, including previews, product mock-ups (the work shown on hats, apparel, wall art, etc.) and physical samples; 3. display the work, make share cards, and promote VELDO and you on VELDO's sites and apps and our official channels (worldwide display follows your setting).

This license ends when you delete the work, except that promotional materials already made may be used for a reasonable time. We will not sell products made from your work until a Work License Agreement is signed.

4. Priority Period (important)

1. Priority Period: 90 days from the date you submit the work. 2. During the Priority Period VELDO has the first right to select the work. You may not license, sell or transfer the work (or anything substantially similar) to anyone else for products or other commercial use, and you may not sell products using it yourself on other platforms. 3. If we select the work, you agree to sign our then-current standard Work License Agreement. We will notify you and ask you (or your parent/guardian, if you are under 18) to sign online. In short, that agreement gives VELDO the exclusive, worldwide, long-term right to use the work commercially — any product, any sales channel, derivative designs and IP licensing — and you earn rewards under the Reward Rules and keep your credit. 4. If the work is not selected by the end of the Priority Period, these restrictions end automatically and you are free to use it as you wish. 5. If someone else offers to work with you on the work during the Priority Period, tell us first; we have 15 business days to select it on terms no less favorable to you.

5. Selection and rewards

Most works are not selected. Rewards for selected works follow the Reward Rules, which differ by sales channel. We do not promise any earnings.

5A. Minors

If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must consent before you submit. Your parent or guardian signs any selection agreement, rewards are paid to an account they designate, and they provide tax forms on your behalf.

6. Infringement notices

When we receive a valid notice from a rights holder, we remove the work first and let you know (see our Copyright & IP Policy, including our DMCA process). Accounts of repeat infringers are terminated, and rewards on a disputed work may be held until the dispute is resolved.

7. Withdrawal

You may delete any work that has not been selected at any time; deleting it also ends the Priority Period restrictions. Works under a signed Work License Agreement are governed by that agreement.

8. General

These terms form part of the VELDO Terms of Use. We record the version of these terms and the time you accepted them with each work.
