Copyright and image use principles

Moonbase is a non-commercial fan community. Gundam, Gunpla and anime images are the intellectual property (IP) of rights holders such as Bandai Namco and Sunrise (Sotsu), so we use them only to the minimum needed for reviews, information sharing and community discussion, with credit.

Please post like this (allowed)

• Photos of Gunpla you bought, built and photographed yourself — post freely.
• Box photos and scene quotes kept to the minimum needed for product reviews, build logs and questions — with credit.
• When featuring someone else's photo, credit the author and link the original, without editing or cropping it.

Not allowed (prohibited)

• Reposting high-resolution graphics from Bandai's official site or other modelers' BUILDS photos without credit, or posting them as your own work.
• Using Gundam images for commercial promotion such as online shops, event merchandise or thumbnails of monetized channels.
• Selling unlicensed derivative works copying Gundam designs — stickers, decals, 3D-printed parts and the like — on MARKET.

What Moonbase protects

• The logo, charts and infographics are our own images. The "0083 STARDUST MEMORY" scenes and unit images in the site background are works of the rights holder (© Sotsu · Sunrise), shown with credit and removed immediately at the rights holder's request.
• Official unit images in GUN_DATA are shown only as small quotations (480px or less) for information, with source and rights notices and a link to the original. They are not exposed to search previews or image search.
• Official news, products and videos show only small previews that link to the official pages; videos play via the official channel's embed.
• Free-license photos (Wikimedia Commons) are credited with author and license.
• MARKET only allows real photos taken by the seller and requires confirmation that items are genuine, not bootlegs. Moonbase does not broker deals and runs no ads or revenue business.

Report rights infringement

• Choose "copyright / unauthorized image use" under "Report" on a post, and moderators will check it and hide it right away.
• If you are a rights holder, or want to report without logging in, post in the Q&A BOARD with the original location. Once confirmed, it will be removed without delay.

These principles summarize general usage standards and are not legal advice. We follow any requests from rights holders.
