The User also agrees not to interfere with or disrupt LOFI’s servers and to comply with any requirements, procedures, or general rules communicated to the User by LOFI.

It is strictly prohibited to use the Site for the following purposes:

  • the exercise of illegal or fraudulent activities or activities that infringe on the rights or security of third parties,- infringement of public order or violation of laws and regulations in force,- intrusion into the computer system of a third party or any activity of such a nature as to harm, control, interfere with or intercept all or part of the computer system of a third party, or to violate the integrity or security thereof- the sending of unsolicited emails and/or commercial prospecting or solicitation,- manipulations intended to improve the referencing of a third party site,- aiding or abetting, in any form and in any manner whatsoever, one or more of the acts and activities described above,- and more generally any practice diverting the Service for purposes other than those for which it was designed.

If the User fails to comply with the above obligations, LOFI reserves the right to suspend the User’s LOFI account at any time or to delete it permanently.

In the absence of conclusive evidence that the User complies with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, LOFI reserves the right, without further notice or formality, to suspend or terminate access to the Site.

In the event of non-compliance by the User with these commitments, LOFI also reserves the right to take legal action to obtain compensation from the User for the damage he has suffered and to notify any relevant authority.

8.2 – Obligations concerning the tracks accessible on the Site and the social networks

The Service allows the broadcasting, streaming, downloading, and sharing of track created by Beatmakers.

These tracks are accessible on the Site and the channels on the social networks of which LOFI is owner.

The User is authorized to reproduce and distribute the track for any use other than commercial. 

The reproduction, broadcasting or sharing of these tracks is only allowed on a limited list of platforms, namely: Youtube, Tik Tok, Twitch and Instagram.

A commercial use of the work chosen by the User is forbidden and can only be done after prior agreement obtained from LOFI by filling in this form.

LOFI’s and its partners’ authorship of the track must be respected in the following manner on the sites on which the track is reproduced, broadcast or shared:

For TwitchAdd the following to your description (via text or banner)

  • Track provided by Lofi Girl
  • Listen: bit.ly/lofigirI-playlists 

Not an obligation but much appreciated

  • Now playing with the track title on your screen

LOFI authorizes and encourages content creators to use its track on the above-mentioned platforms to monetize a video distinct from the sole distribution of the track itself.  It will be sufficient for the user to respect the authorship rights of the author of the track and LOFI according to the above-mentioned conditions.

LOFI will never file a copyright claim with the platforms if you follow the instructions above.

It is possible that persons who have no direct or indirect link with LOFI may make claims under copyright law, which would then be illegitimate because they do not come directly from the owner of the rights, which is LOFI. In such a case, LOFI cannot be held responsible

8.3 – Obligations concerning the illustrations accessible on the Site

The Service allows the distribution and downloading of illustrations created by Illustrators.

LOFI prohibits any use of the illustrations other than for private purposes.

8.4 – Obligations concerning the LOFI GENERATOR

LOFI grants free access to the LOFI GENERATOR without prior registration of the User or communication of personal data by the User.

LOFI GENERATOR is based on an original work called X which allows the LOFI User to generate as many derivatives works as are offered by default by LOFI GENERATOR, namely, a change of gender, morphology, hair, face, clothes, accessories, animals in the background, windows and cities illustrating the background behind said window.

The user is fully aware that the choices he or she makes from the LOFI GENERATOR are fully dictated by the contents of which LOFI holds the patrimonial rights on behalf of its author in accordance with international copyright rules.

LOFI agrees, as the owner of the economic rights on any work resulting directly or indirectly from the generator, to the User that :

  • Any use of the work named X in order to make a new derivative work is prohibited outside the strict framework allowed by the LOFI GENERATOR ;

  • The PNG file generated from the LOFI GENERATOR and received by email by the User can only be used in a private context or as an avatar on third party sites or social networks;
  • A commercial use of the work chosen by the User is forbidden and can only be done after prior agreement from LOFI. 

It is therefore forbidden for the User to make commercial profit from the work he/she downloads without prior authorization from LOFI.

The User is thus authorized to reproduce and distribute the work resulting from the LOFI GENERATOR for any use other than commercial. 

Only the reproduction and distribution of the original work as generated via the options is authorized. If the User wants to modify it, he must obtain the prior authorization of LOFI.

Article 9: Availability and access

LOFI undertakes to ensure that the User can connect to the Site at any time, excluding periods of maintenance and updates.

Any observation of total or partial unavailability of the Site by the User can be notified to LOFI at support@lofirecords.com with the subject line “Report a malfunction”.

LOFI may freely, at any time, interrupt direct or indirect access to the Site, for any reason, including technical reasons, such as maintenance, updating, etc., without notice or prior notice to Users. LOFI shall not be held responsible for the consequences of such interruptions or unavailability to Users or any third party.
