World of Warships Blitz

COMMUNITY PROGRAM

  • 1. Intro

    Our aim with this program is to build a healthy and constructive community that is welcoming for new players to join, and helpful for veterans to flourish. As a Community Contributor (CC), we are placing you in the spotlight as a positive example and role model. Your personal and professional growth are of utmost importance to us, so we will be happy to promote your quality content and provide assets for you to create it.

    You may have noticed that we’ve already reached out to some creators and provided press accounts to help them grow their social media channels, and provide more useful updates and opinion about the latest events in World of Warships Blitz. If you are a keen content creator and want to help build this community, this is your best chance to get involved!

  • 2. Intellectual Property Rights

    You may use Wargaming materials we provide you solely for creation of materials about World of Warships Blitz (“Content”) and as long as you use the content as a part of the CC Program and comply with this Policy.

    Wargaming materials can’t be altered or defaced in a way deemed negative by Wargaming. They can’t be sold or repurposed for making a financial gain.

    Your Content must have no commercial (i.e., monetary) objective. As an exception to this, you are permitted to monetize web videos (such as YouTube) with advertisements, so long as those videos otherwise meet the requirements of this Policy. Wargaming in its sole discretion, can revoke your permission to create the Content at any time and for any reason.

    You may not say, nor imply that your Content is endorsed or approved by Wargaming. Also, you may not create or use any Content in a manner that could cause people to believe that it is an official Wargaming production.
