(许可、上传与收入分成协议 – 电子签订)
草案 – 需要律师审查。本文件不构成法律建议。所有者将在使用前让越南律师审查。如越南文与英文文本不一致,以越南文为准。

简明摘要
本摘要不取代本协议。
- 您保留对您的漫画的所有权。ComicStation 获得非排他性许可,以托管、展示、使用 AI 翻译约 70 种语言、分发和推广这些漫画。
- ComicStation 是一家中介托管平台和电子商务分销商:它出售阅读权限并支付版税。它不是收款代理,也不是钱包。它不创作您的漫画,也不对您上传的内容进行预审。
- 您承诺该漫画为您所有或您拥有相应权利;若您上传他人作品,您将依据您所在国家的法律、越南法律及国际法承担全部法律责任。
- 一经发现复制的漫画将被删除。收益可能被冻结并被追缴,以向赞助者和读者退款并处理真实权利人。账户可能被关闭。
- 翻译收入按照存于 translation_pricing 中的费率分为两层。第1层为作者和赞助者。第2层为 ComicStation 对上述各部分收取的费用。您无需为翻译付款。赞助者支付费用以开启翻译。
- 原语言的付费阅读尚未开发。届时提供时,作者将获得更大份额,且不存在赞助者。
- 点击“我同意并签署”在阅读文本并勾选框后,即可电子完成本协议。稍后将添加一次性验证码。在此之前,登录状态即为记录的身份验证。
金币计算示例
说明性示例,不构成承诺。数值取自 translation_pricing,页面生成时读取。它们未以固定价格写入条款。
使用的列:coins_per_page_chapter = 20; later_reader_bps = 3000; creator_gross_bps = 7000; sponsor_share_bps = 3000; platform_of_creator_bps = 3000; platform_of_sponsor_bps = 1000; creator_share_bps = 7000; platform_share_bps = 3000; vnd_per_coin = 1000。
一本 20 页的章节。赞助者每页支付 20金币,整章支付 400金币。 后续读者支付该价格的 30% ,即整章的 120金币。 后续读者付款的第 1 层:作者 70% = 84金币;赞助者 30% = 36金币。 第 2 层:ComicStation 从作者部分中抽取 30% = 25.2金币,从赞助者部分中抽取 10% = 3.6金币。 两层分配后剩余:作者 58.8金币(49%),赞助者 32.4金币(27%),ComicStation 28.8金币(24%)。 原文语言阅读的付费尚未构建。开启后,作者获得 70% ,ComicStation 获得 30% 。赞助者不参与该项分成。
版税的现金基础是实际收到的净现金。每笔金币购买记录一个按用户划分的批次,其越南盾和美元价值为支付金额扣除支付网关费用后的数额,外汇汇率以购买时快照为准。金币消费时,按先进先出(FIFO)顺序消耗的批次的货币价值即为两层分配的依据。奖金、促销及免费金币价值为零,不产生版税。购买的退款和撤销会冲销仍处于暂扣期的收益。
第1条 定义
1.1. “ComicStation”、 “我们”:经营 ComicStation 网站和应用程序的越南实体(以下简称“本平台”)。法定名称、企业代码及地址将在律师完成发布文本后补全。
1.2. “创作者”、 “您”:在本平台注册创作者账户并签署本协议的个人或组织,包括未创作该作品但拥有版权的权利人。
1.3. “作品”:您上传的漫画、章节、页面、封面、标题、描述、角色名称、对白及其他材料。
1.4. “翻译”:由 ComicStation 使用人工智能生成的其他语言版本,可经或不经人工编辑,包含翻译文本、文字排版及元数据。该版本依据您在第6条和第7条授予的许可制作,并非 ComicStation 所创作的故事。
1.5. “赞助者”:为首个翻译赞助付费,以开启某章节的某语言翻译的用户。每一章节和语言对应唯一一位赞助者。
1.6. “翻译赞助”:赞助者为 ComicStation 制作并发布该翻译而支付的金币。此为开启翻译的预付服务费用。它不构成资本出资、贷款、证券或股份购买。赞助者不获得原作品或 AI 翻译的任何所有权,也不保证获得任何付款。
1.7. “后续读者”:使用金币阅读赞助者已开启的翻译的用户。
1.8. “翻译收入”,亦即版税计算基础:本平台实际收到的该次阅读的净现金。每笔金币购买均记录一个按用户划分的批次,其越南盾(VND)及美元(USD)价值为付款金额扣除支付网关手续费后的数额,外汇汇率以购买时的快照确定。金币被消费时,按先进先出(FIFO)顺序消耗的批次的金钱价值即为分配基数。奖励、促销及免费金币价值为零,不产生版税。购买的退款及冲销会冲回仍处于暂扣期的收益。
1.9. “金币”:预付服务信用,仅可在本平台用于解锁章节或赞助翻译。金币不是货币、电子货币或支付手段。金币不可兑换现金,不可在账户之间转移,也不可兑现。ComicStation 并非钱包。
1.10. “原语言收入”:读者为阅读原语言作品(本平台提供时)支付的金币,以及若提供打赏功能时的打赏金额。不包括赞助或翻译收入。
1.11. “政策”:使用条款、隐私政策、金币规则、内容标准以及第10条概述的通知、删除及反通知程序。发布于本平台的政策构成本协议的一部分。

5.3. 非作者的上传者不享有作者在翻译收入中的份额。如经核实确认为修复,ComicStation 可支付较低的编辑费用。虚假声明将构成违反第4条。

6.5. 翻译、文字排版、调整气泡并添加“AI 翻译”标签是必要的,并不构成曲解。您可以报告翻译错误。
6.6. ComicStation 透明地设定金币价格、展示顺序和翻译语言。价格取自 translation_pricing。价格并未在本协议中固定。
第7条. AI翻译
7.1. 翻译作品是依据您的许可产生的衍生作品。该翻译由人工智能完成,可能包含错误。ComicStation 将其标记为 “AI 翻译”,并不保证其完全准确。
7.2. 在法律承认因 ComicStation 编辑对翻译进行修改而产生的权利范围内,此等权利归属 ComicStation,且仅可在本平台与该作品一起使用。赞助者和读者不获得翻译的任何所有权。
7.3. 您可以在附件A中排除语言或地区。已拥有赞助者的语言按照第14条处理。

8.1. 仅当作品已通过检查,且来自符合条件的创作者,并且未因第5条而被禁止付费使用时,方可开放赞助。
8.2. 赞助者按 translation_pricing 中该语言层级的章节费率付款。后续读者按 later_reader_bps 的比例支付该价格。ComicStation 可在本平台提前通知后调整费率。
8.3. 初始赞助用于支付翻译及运营成本。您无需为 AI 翻译支付费用。
8.4. 读取时消耗的 FIFO 金币批次的货币价值被分为两个层级,使用 translation_pricing 中的基点列。默认配置下,剩余比例约为 49% 给作者,27% 给赞助者,24% 给 ComicStation:
- 层级 1:作者收到 creator_gross_bps,赞助者收到 sponsor_share_bps。上述两项比例之和等于读取的货币价值的 100%。
- 层级 2:ComicStation 从作者的部分中抽取 platform_of_creator_bps,从赞助者的部分中抽取 platform_of_sponsor_bps。
- 作者、赞助者与 ComicStation 实际保留的金额为两个层级的综合结果。附件 B 列出列项并提供了基于实时配置的示例。
- 没有批次的金币以及支出中的奖励部分价值为零。
说明性示例,不构成承诺。数值取自 translation_pricing,页面生成时读取。它们未以固定价格写入条款。
使用的列:coins_per_page_chapter = 20; later_reader_bps = 3000; creator_gross_bps = 7000; sponsor_share_bps = 3000; platform_of_creator_bps = 3000; platform_of_sponsor_bps = 1000; creator_share_bps = 7000; platform_share_bps = 3000; vnd_per_coin = 1000。
一本 20 页的章节。赞助者每页支付 20金币,整章支付 400金币。 后续读者支付该价格的 30% ,即整章的 120金币。 后续读者付款的第 1 层:作者 70% = 84金币;赞助者 30% = 36金币。 第 2 层:ComicStation 从作者部分中抽取 30% = 25.2金币,从赞助者部分中抽取 10% = 3.6金币。 两层分配后剩余:作者 58.8金币(49%),赞助者 32.4金币(27%),ComicStation 28.8金币(24%)。 原文语言阅读的付费尚未构建。开启后,作者获得 70% ,ComicStation 获得 30% 。赞助者不参与该项分成。
版税的现金基础是实际收到的净现金。每笔金币购买记录一个按用户划分的批次,其越南盾和美元价值为支付金额扣除支付网关费用后的数额,外汇汇率以购买时快照为准。金币消费时,按先进先出(FIFO)顺序消耗的批次的货币价值即为两层分配的依据。奖金、促销及免费金币价值为零,不产生版税。购买的退款和撤销会冲销仍处于暂扣期的收益。
8.5. 原语言的付费阅读尚未开发。若 ComicStation 今后提供,原语言收入按 creator_share_bps 分配给作者,平台份额 platform_share_bps 分配给 ComicStation。赞助者不获得任何分成。若后续提供小费,其费率将在附件 B 公布,且在扣款之前。
8.6. 赞助者的份额是 ComicStation 与赞助者之间的合同赞助利益,不构成您的债务。您通过 ComicStation 授予赞助者使用原作品的许可,以便进行翻译并在本条款下共享收入。赞助者不拥有 AI 翻译。您不得与赞助者另行达成协议以规避本平台。
8.6A. 赞助奖励受 royalty_config 限制:默认情况下为净赞助现金的 1.5 倍(sponsor_cap_bps = 15000),且自翻译上线之日起有 24 个月的窗口期。超过上限或窗口期后,后续读者的赞助者份额转归作者。赞助不可转让。无推荐奖励。
8.7. 通过虚假账户、洗号购买或串通获取的解锁不计入收入,且可能导致本协议终止。
8.8. 当相应页面可用时,您可查看赞助次数、解锁次数、暂扣余额以及可提取余额。
第9条 持有、冻结和税务
9.1. 您的份额以货币计入版税账本,独立于金币余额,以您选择的支付币种(VND 或 USD)记录。每笔收入的 USD 金额为购买金币时记录的外汇快照,并非付款时的汇率。
9.2. 收入在 royalty_config 设定的持有期(默认为 30 天)内保持待处理状态,随后即可使用。默认付款门槛为 200,000 VND 或 10 USD。仅限年满 18 周岁且身份已验证的自然人方可提出付款请求。ComicStation 对付款进行审核、批准并标记为已付款。不存在自动的金钱转移。
9.3. 收到有效侵权通知、出现欺诈迹象、主管部门有此要求,或您未依第 4.7 条提供证据时,ComicStation 可冻结与该作品相关的余额。冻结依据第 10 条执行。
9.4. 若该作品构成侵权,或您违反第 4 条或第 5 条,ComicStation 可将相应金额于您的余额及未来收益中抵扣,要求您偿还已支付的款项,并保留余额以支付真实权利持有人以及依据第 10 条向赞助者和读者退款。
9.5. 对于每一框架合同(作者或赞助者,分别计),ComicStation 按框架合同中超过阈值的部分预扣个人所得税。税率和阈值均自 royalty_config 读取,除该公式外不作硬编码。对越南居民的默认税率为该框架合同中超过 20,000,000 VND 部分的 5%;对非居民使用单独配置的税率和阈值,默认亦为 5% 与 20,000,000 VND。预扣金额在每笔付款中记入。您应提供税务信息,并仍须自行负责您所在地区仍应缴纳的税款。
第10条 通知、下架与退款
10.1. ComicStation通过本平台上的表格接收侵权通知。本流程是本协议的一部分。它遵循第17/2023/ND-CP号法令第113条和第114条、第147/2024/ND-CP号法令第36.7条以及适用的外国下架规则。
10.2. ComicStation可移除或停用该作品及所有翻译:在收到有权机关书面请求后24小时内;在收到权利人提供证据的请求后72小时内(内部目标为24小时);以及在出现明显侵权迹象时立即。
10.3. 在临时下架时,ComicStation会冻结该作品的收入并停止新的赞助以及新的付费阅读。本平台将告知您原因,您有10个工作日提交带有证据的反通知并声明您承担法律责任。如未收到有效的反通知,该作品将被下架并记入一次违规记录(strike)。
10.4. 在因侵权导致的最终下架时:根据赞助条款,赞助者将获得退款(已支付的赞助金币减去已在计数阅读中收到的赞助者份额,金额不得低于零;如果下架在赞助后30天内,则全额退款赞助金币)。后续读者在临时下架前30天内的解锁将返还金币信用。金币购买的退款或撤销将冲销仍在待支付的版税收入。已脱离暂扣期的收入不会因该退款而被冲销。您被冻结的份额将用于支付这些退款以及真实权利人的合法索赔。该通知将此称为翻译赞助退款。
10.5. 若反通知成功且未构成侵权,该作品将被恢复,冻结的余额将按照暂扣期安排释放。
10.6. 您同意,ComicStation可根据法律及下架程序的要求,将您的联系信息及反通知转发给投诉方,亦可将投诉方的联系信息转发给您。
第11条 重复侵权
11.1. 每一份未成功反驳的有效通知,或每一次 ComicStation 认定作品侵权的裁定,均视为一次违规记录(strike)。
11.2. 一次违规记录(strike)导致:内容移除、警告、相关收益冻结,且30天内不得进行新的赞助。12个月内累计两次违规记录(strike),则上传和提现暂停90天。12个月内累计三次违规记录(strike),本协议即终止,账户被关闭。
11.3. 故意冒充他人作品为己有、伪造证据、冒名行为,或为规避禁令而开设新账户的,均立即终止本协议。
第12条 赔偿
12.1. 您应赔偿、辩护并使ComicStation、其管理人员及工作人员、赞助者和读者免受因以下原因产生的索赔、诉讼、处罚、退款及合理费用(包括律师费用)的损害:违反第3条、第4条或第5条;作品侵犯第三方的权利;与合著者或许可方的争议;或您违反法律。
12.2. 对于故意或欺诈行为,赔偿责任为无限。否则,在法律允许的范围内,赔偿责任限于实际损失和合理费用。律师将在发布前审查任何上限。
第13条 限制ComicStation的责任
13.1. 本平台按原样提供。ComicStation 不保证收益、读者量或翻译的完全准确性。
13.2. 除故意不当行为、重大过失、侵犯您的精神权利或法律不允许设定限制的情形外,ComicStation 对您的全部责任最高不超过事件发生前12个月已支付或应支付给您的收益分成。
13.3. 任何权利或义务,若越南法律不允许排除,均不得被排除。
第13A条 中介托管与上传作品
13A.1. ComicStation 是一家中介托管平台和电子商务分销商。它提供存储与展示工具,销售阅读访问并支付版税。它不是代收机构,也不是钱包。它不创造作品,亦非作品的出版者,并且在作品存储至本平台之前不对您上传的内容进行预审。
13A.2. 在法律允许的范围内,包括中介服务提供者的规定,ComicStation 对您上传的作品以及因该作品引起的诉讼免除责任,前提是 ComicStation 未得知侵权行为并遵循第10条的删除流程。该豁免不适用于 ComicStation 的故意不当行为,也不免除一旦 ComicStation 知悉即有删除作品的义务。
13A.3. 您保证该作品为原创或您拥有足够的权利。您应依据您居住地的法律、越南法律及国际法,对该作品承担全部法律责任。
13A.4. 您依据第12条对 ComicStation、赞助者和读者进行赔偿,以应对因您上传的作品而产生的索赔及诉讼。
13A.5. AI 翻译由 ComicStation 根据第6条和第7条授予您的许可进行制作。制作翻译并不使 ComicStation 成为原作品的作者,亦不削弱第4条的保证。
13A.6. 在争议或删除情况下,金钱的处理遵循第9条和第10条的规定:收益将被冻结,赞助者和读者将获得退款,并将为真实权利持有人保留所需金额。
第14条 期限与终止
14.1. 本协议自您点击“我同意并签署”之时起生效,持续有效直至结束。您可通过本平台提前30天通知,撤回作品或终止本协议。
14.2. ComicStation 可因业务运营原因提前30天通知终止本协议,亦可在您违反第3条、第4条、第5条或第11.3条时立即终止,或因监管部门要求而终止。
14.3. 若您在未发生违规的情况下撤回,已获得赞助者赞助的翻译作品在附件B规定的存续期间内仍可阅读。该期间内,第8条约定的分成继续执行。自通知之日起不再开启新的赞助。
14.4. 若因违规导致协议终止,或因侵权被下架作品,则该作品及所有翻译均下架,相关款项依据第10条处理。您将不再获得该侵权作品的任何收入。
14.5. 第4条、第9条、第10条、第11条、第12条、第13条、第13A条、第14条及第15条仍然有效。
第15条 记录、数据及电子接受

15.2. 个人数据的处理遵循《个人数据保护法》91/2025/QH15号、《第356/2025/ND-CP号法令》及隐私政策。单独的框记录身份核查、向服务提供者的跨境数据传输以及在删除流程中的披露。
15.3. 本协议依据《电子交易法》20/2023/QH15号以电子方式订立。完整文本显示后,勾选必填框并在登录状态下点击同意,即为您的电子签名。当 ComicStation 启用该步骤时,您需通过手机或电子邮件获取一次性验证码。此之前,日志会记录您的账户 ID、时间、IP 地址、浏览器、版本、哈希以及您勾选的框。双方接受该日志作为证据。
15.4. ComicStation 可在提前至少 30 天通知的情况下修改本协议。对分成、许可或暂扣期的不利变更仅在您再次接受后生效。如您未接受,您可终止本协议,且在通知期间内适用前一版本。协议版本变更后再次发布须接受当时生效的版本。
# 第16条 管辖法律 {#clause-16}
16.1. 本协议受越南法律管辖。该规定不限制知识产权侵权发生地的强制性规则,这些规则适用于您对第三方的责任。
16.2. 双方首先通过内部投诉渠道进行为期30天的协商。此后,ComicStation 与您之间的争议应提交越南国际仲裁中心(VIAC)进行仲裁,由一名仲裁员审理,仲裁地点设在越南。仲裁裁决为终局。未作为当事方的真实权利人不受本仲裁条款的约束。
16.3. 本协议不构成雇佣、代理或合资关系。未经 ComicStation 同意,您不得转让本协议。

具有法律效力的英语版全文
COMICSTATION CREATOR AGREEMENT
(Licensing, upload and revenue share agreement – concluded electronically)
DRAFT – LAWYER REVIEW REQUIRED. This is not legal advice. The owner will have a Vietnamese lawyer review it before it is used as a final text. If the Vietnamese and English texts differ, the Vietnamese version prevails.
Version: CS-CA-EN-0.2 (draft) · SHA-256: stored with the acceptance record when you sign.
Plain-language summary
This summary does not replace the agreement.
- You keep ownership of your comics. ComicStation receives a non-exclusive licence to host, display, AI-translate into about 70 languages, distribute and promote them.
- ComicStation is an intermediary hosting platform and an e-commerce distributor: it sells reading access and pays royalties. It is not a collection agent and it is not a wallet. It does not create your comic and it does not pre-review what you upload.
- You promise the comic is yours or that you hold the rights, and you bear full legal responsibility under the law of your country, Vietnamese law and international law if you upload someone else's work.
- A comic found to be copied will be removed. Earnings can be frozen and clawed back to refund sponsors and readers and to deal with the true owner. The account may be closed.
- Translation revenue is split in two tiers, using the rates stored in translation_pricing. Tier 1 is the author and the sponsor. Tier 2 is ComicStation's fee on each of those parts. You pay nothing to translate. A sponsor pays to open the translation.
- Paid reading in the original language is not built yet. When it is offered, the author receives the larger share and there is no sponsor.
- Clicking "I agree and sign" after reading the text and ticking the boxes concludes this agreement electronically. A one-time code will be added later. Until then, being signed in is the authentication that is logged.
Worked coin example
Illustrative example, not a promise. The figures are read from translation_pricing when this page is built. They are not written into the terms as fixed prices.
Columns in use: coins_per_page_chapter = 20; later_reader_bps = 3000; creator_gross_bps = 7000; sponsor_share_bps = 3000; platform_of_creator_bps = 3000; platform_of_sponsor_bps = 1000; creator_share_bps = 7000; platform_share_bps = 3000; vnd_per_coin = 1000.
One 20-page chapter. The sponsor pays 20 coins per page, 400 coins for the chapter. One later reader pays 30% of that price, which is 120 coins for the chapter. Tier 1 of the later-reader payment: author 70% = 84 coins; sponsor 30% = 36 coins. Tier 2: ComicStation takes 30% of the author's part = 25.2 coins, and 10% of the sponsor's part = 3.6 coins. Left after both tiers: author 58.8 coins (49%), sponsor 32.4 coins (27%), ComicStation 28.8 coins (24%). Paid original-language reading is not built yet. When it opens, the author receives 70% and ComicStation receives 30%. The sponsor has no share of that line.
The cash basis of a royalty is the net cash actually received for that read. Each coin purchase records a per-user lot whose VND and USD value is the price paid minus the payment-gateway fee, with the foreign-exchange snapshot taken at purchase. When coins are spent, the money value of the lots consumed in first-in first-out (FIFO) order is what the two tiers split. Bonus, promotional and free coins carry zero value and create no royalty. Refunds and chargebacks of a purchase reverse earnings that are still in the holding period.
Clause 1. Definitions
1.1. "ComicStation", "we": the Vietnamese entity that operates the ComicStation website and app (the "Platform"). The legal name, enterprise code and address will be completed when the lawyer finishes the release text.
1.2. "Creator", "you": an individual or organisation that registers a creator account and enters this agreement, including a copyright owner who did not draw the work.
1.3. "Work": comics, chapters, pages, covers, titles, descriptions, character names, dialogue and other material you upload.
1.4. "Translation": a version in another language produced by ComicStation with AI, with or without human editing, including translated text, lettering and metadata. It is produced under your licence in Clauses 6 and 7. It is not a story ComicStation invented.
1.5. "Sponsor": the user who pays the first translation sponsorship to open the translation of one chapter into one language. Each chapter and language has one sponsor.
1.6. "Translation sponsorship": the coins a sponsor pays for ComicStation to produce and publish that translation. It is a prepaid service fee to open a translation. It is not a capital contribution, loan, security or purchase of shares. The sponsor acquires no ownership of the original work or of the AI translation and is not guaranteed any payment.
1.7. "Later reader": a user who spends coins to read a translation a sponsor has opened.
1.8. "Translation revenue", and the basis of a royalty: the net cash ComicStation actually received for that read. Each coin purchase records a per-user lot whose VND and USD value is the price paid minus the payment-gateway fee, with the foreign-exchange snapshot taken at purchase. When coins are spent, the money value of the lots consumed in first-in first-out (FIFO) order is what is split. Bonus, promotional and free coins carry zero value and create no royalty. Refunds and chargebacks of a purchase reverse earnings that are still in the holding period.
1.9. "Coins": prepaid service credit, usable only on the Platform to unlock a chapter or to sponsor a translation. Coins are not money, e-money or a means of payment. Coins are not exchangeable for cash, not transferable between accounts, and not redeemable. ComicStation is not a wallet.
1.10. "Original-language revenue": coins readers pay to read the work in its original language, if and when ComicStation offers that, plus tips if a tip feature is offered. It does not include sponsorships or translation revenue.
1.11. "Policies": the terms of use, privacy policy, coin rules, content standards, and the notice, removal and counter-notice process summarised in Clause 10. Policies published on the Platform form part of this agreement.
Clause 2. Subject matter and priority
2.1. This agreement covers uploads, the licence, translation sponsorship, revenue share and the parties' responsibilities.
2.2. If there is a conflict: (1) a separate agreement signed by ComicStation; (2) this agreement and its schedules; (3) the policies.
2.3. Each time you upload a series you confirm the Upload Declaration (Schedule A). It is part of this agreement.
Clause 3. Eligibility
3.1. An individual creator must be at least 18 with full civil capacity. A person aged 16 to under 18 may take part only with a legal representative who also signs; payouts go to the representative. An organisation must be lawfully established.
3.2. Uploading needs a verified account. Receiving money will also need a government ID, tax information and a payout account in your name when withdrawals open. ComicStation may ask for more checks when risk appears.
3.3. Identity information must be true, accurate and current. Each person may hold one paid creator account unless ComicStation agrees otherwise.
Clause 4. Warranties about rights
When you upload and throughout the term, you represent and warrant that:
4.1. You personally created the work and own it, or you are the lawful owner, or you hold a written licence wide enough to grant ComicStation every right in Clauses 6 and 7, including translation into other languages and paid distribution worldwide, except exclusions in Schedule A.
4.2. If there are co-authors, you have their written consent to the upload, the licence and the revenue arrangement, and you pay them yourself.
4.3. The work does not copy, adapt, translate, scan, raw, scanlate or compile anyone else's work without permission, and it does not infringe copyright, related rights, trademarks, protected characters, image rights or any other third-party right.
4.4. You have not granted an exclusive right that conflicts with this licence, in particular translation or digital distribution. Any limit must be declared in Schedule A.
4.5. You truthfully declare whether AI tools were used to create the work.
4.6. The work complies with Vietnamese law and ComicStation's content standards, including rules on prohibited content and the protection of children.
4.7. You keep, and provide within 5 working days on request, source files, sketches, edit history, earlier publication links, licence agreements and other evidence.
4.8. A false warranty or uploading someone else's work may lead to civil, administrative or criminal liability under Vietnamese law, the law of your country of residence, the law of the place of infringement and international treaties, including the Berne Convention. You bear that responsibility and the indemnity in Clause 12.
4.9. You notify ComicStation immediately if a warranty stops being true.
Clause 5. Public domain and open licences
5.1. You may upload a work you did not create only with a full declaration of source, the basis for public-domain status or the open-licence name and version, and a copy of the source page.
5.2. NC licences are shown free, without ads and without paid sponsorship. ND licences are not translated. SA licences, if translated, are released under the same licence and do not use a single exclusive sponsor. ComicStation may choose not to translate SA works.
5.3. An uploader who is not the author does not receive the author's share of translation revenue. ComicStation may pay a smaller editing amount if restoration is verified. A false declaration breaches Clause 4.
Clause 6. Licence to ComicStation
6.1. You keep ownership. This agreement does not assign copyright.
6.2. You grant ComicStation a non-exclusive, worldwide licence, except exclusions in Schedule A, paid under Clause 8, to: host and technically reproduce the work; display it and allow online reading, free or for coins; translate it into about 70 languages with AI, remove and insert text, and distribute the translations; promote it with excerpts, covers and your pen name without distorting the work; sublicense only to technical providers so they can perform this agreement. AI providers may not train their own models on the work.
6.3. Without a separate agreement, the licence does not include print, film adaptation, merchandise, or selling the work to another platform.
6.4. ComicStation will not use the work to train generative AI models unless you tick a separate opt-in, which you may withdraw. Using the work to improve the translation of that same work is not AI training for this purpose.
6.5. Translating, lettering, adjusting balloons and adding an "AI translation" label are necessary and are not distortion. You may report translation errors.
6.6. ComicStation sets coin prices, display order and translation languages transparently. Prices are read from translation_pricing. They are not frozen in this agreement.
Clause 7. AI translations
7.1. A translation is a derivative work produced under your licence. It is made by AI and may contain errors. ComicStation labels it "AI translation" and does not guarantee complete accuracy.
7.2. To the extent the law recognises rights in a translation because a ComicStation editor changed it, those rights belong to ComicStation and may be used only together with the work on the Platform. Sponsors and readers acquire no ownership of the translation.
7.3. You may exclude languages or territories in Schedule A. A language that already has a sponsor is handled under Clause 14.
Clause 8. Sponsorship and revenue share
8.1. Only a work that has passed checks, from an eligible creator, and that is not barred from paid use under Clause 5, may be opened for sponsorship.
8.2. The sponsor pays the chapter rate in translation_pricing for that language tier. Later readers pay later_reader_bps of that price. ComicStation may change rates with prior notice on the Platform.
8.3. The initial sponsorship pays for translation and operating cost. You pay nothing for the AI translation.
8.4. The money value of the FIFO coin lots consumed by a read is split in two tiers, using the basis-point columns in translation_pricing. On the default configuration the remainder is about 49% to the author, 27% to the sponsor and 24% to ComicStation:
- Tier 1: the author receives creator_gross_bps and the sponsor receives sponsor_share_bps. Those two rates sum to 100% of the money value of the read.
- Tier 2: ComicStation takes platform_of_creator_bps of the author's part and platform_of_sponsor_bps of the sponsor's part.
- What the author, the sponsor and ComicStation keep is the result of both tiers. Schedule B lists the columns and an example taken from the live configuration.
- Coins with no lot, and the bonus part of a spend, have zero value.
Illustrative example, not a promise. The figures are read from translation_pricing when this page is built. They are not written into the terms as fixed prices.
Columns in use: coins_per_page_chapter = 20; later_reader_bps = 3000; creator_gross_bps = 7000; sponsor_share_bps = 3000; platform_of_creator_bps = 3000; platform_of_sponsor_bps = 1000; creator_share_bps = 7000; platform_share_bps = 3000; vnd_per_coin = 1000.
One 20-page chapter. The sponsor pays 20 coins per page, 400 coins for the chapter. One later reader pays 30% of that price, which is 120 coins for the chapter. Tier 1 of the later-reader payment: author 70% = 84 coins; sponsor 30% = 36 coins. Tier 2: ComicStation takes 30% of the author's part = 25.2 coins, and 10% of the sponsor's part = 3.6 coins. Left after both tiers: author 58.8 coins (49%), sponsor 32.4 coins (27%), ComicStation 28.8 coins (24%). Paid original-language reading is not built yet. When it opens, the author receives 70% and ComicStation receives 30%. The sponsor has no share of that line.
The cash basis of a royalty is the net cash actually received for that read. Each coin purchase records a per-user lot whose VND and USD value is the price paid minus the payment-gateway fee, with the foreign-exchange snapshot taken at purchase. When coins are spent, the money value of the lots consumed in first-in first-out (FIFO) order is what the two tiers split. Bonus, promotional and free coins carry zero value and create no royalty. Refunds and chargebacks of a purchase reverse earnings that are still in the holding period.
8.5. Paid reading in the original language is not built yet. If and when ComicStation offers it, original-language revenue is split by creator_share_bps to the author and platform_share_bps to ComicStation. The sponsor receives none of it. Tips, if offered later, will have their own rate published in Schedule B before any money is taken.
8.6. The sponsor's share is a contractual sponsorship benefit between ComicStation and the sponsor. It is not your debt. You grant the sponsor, through ComicStation, a licence to use the original work so the translation can be made and so revenue can be shared under this clause. The sponsor does not own the AI translation. You must not make side deals with a sponsor to bypass the Platform.
8.6A. A sponsor reward is capped from royalty_config: by default 1.5 times the net cash sponsored (sponsor_cap_bps = 15000) and a 24-month window from the day the translation went live. After the cap or the window, the sponsor's part of later reads goes to the author. A sponsorship is non-transferable. There are no referral rewards.
8.7. Unlocks by fake accounts, wash purchases or collusion are excluded from revenue and may end this agreement.
8.8. You can view sponsorship counts, unlocks, held balance and withdrawable balance when those screens are available.
Clause 9. Holding, freezes and tax
9.1. Your share is recorded in money on the royalty ledger, separate from the coin balance, in the payout currency you chose (VND or USD). The USD amount on each earning is the foreign-exchange snapshot stored when the coins were purchased. It is not a rate taken at payout.
9.2. An earning stays pending for the hold in royalty_config (30 days by default) and then becomes available. The default payout threshold is 200,000 VND or 10 USD. Only a person aged 18 or over whose identity status is verified may request a payout. ComicStation reviews, approves and marks a payout paid. There is no automatic movement of money.
9.3. ComicStation may freeze balances related to a work when a valid infringement notice arrives, fraud is indicated, an authority so requests, or you do not provide evidence under Clause 4.7. A freeze follows Clause 10.
9.4. If the work infringes, or you breach Clause 4 or 5, ComicStation may set off amounts against your balances and future earnings, demand repayment of amounts already paid, and hold balances to pay the true rights holder and to refund sponsors and readers under Clause 10.
9.5. For each framework contract (author or sponsor, counted separately), ComicStation withholds personal income tax on the part above a threshold. The rate and the threshold are read from royalty_config. They are not hard-coded beyond that formula. The default for a Vietnam resident is 5% of the part above 20,000,000 VND under that framework contract. A non-resident uses a separate configured rate and threshold, also 5% and 20,000,000 VND by default. The withheld amount is recorded on each payout. You provide tax information and remain responsible for any tax still due where you live.
Clause 10. Notices, removal and refunds
10.1. ComicStation receives infringement notices through the form on the Platform. The process below is part of this agreement. It follows Articles 113 and 114 of Decree 17/2023/ND-CP, Article 36.7 of Decree 147/2024/ND-CP, and applicable foreign takedown rules.
10.2. ComicStation may remove or disable the work and all translations: within 24 hours of a written request from a competent authority; within 72 hours (internal target 24 hours) of a rights-holder request with evidence; and immediately on a clear sign of infringement.
10.3. On a temporary removal, ComicStation freezes earnings for that work and stops new sponsorships and new paid reads. You are told the reason and have 10 working days to send a counter-notice with evidence and a statement that you accept legal responsibility. If there is no valid counter-notice, the work is removed and one strike is counted.
10.4. On a final removal for infringement: sponsors are refunded under the Sponsor Terms (sponsorship coins paid, minus the sponsor share already received on counted reads, not below zero; a full refund of the sponsorship coins if removal is within 30 days of the sponsorship). Later readers receive coin credit back for unlocks in the 30 days before the temporary removal. A refund or chargeback of a coin purchase reverses royalty earnings that are still pending. Earnings that have left the holding period are not reversed by that refund. Your frozen share is used to cover those refunds and a lawful claim by the true owner. The notice calls this a translation sponsorship refund.
10.5. If a counter-notice succeeds and there is no infringement, the work is restored and frozen balances are released on the holding schedule.
10.6. You agree that ComicStation may forward your contact details and counter-notice to the complainant, and the other way around, as the law and the takedown process require.
Clause 11. Repeat infringement
11.1. Each valid notice that is not successfully countered, or each ComicStation finding that a work infringes, is one strike.
11.2. One strike: removal, a warning, a freeze of related earnings, and no new sponsorships for 30 days. Two strikes in 12 months: uploads and withdrawals suspended for 90 days. Three strikes in 12 months: this agreement ends and the account is closed.
11.3. Deliberately passing off someone else's work as your own, forging evidence, impersonation, or opening a new account to evade a ban ends the agreement immediately.
Clause 12. Indemnity
12.1. You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ComicStation, its managers and staff, sponsors and readers from claims, lawsuits, penalties, refunds and reasonable costs, including attorneys' fees, arising from: breach of Clause 3, 4 or 5; the work infringing a third party; a dispute with a co-author or licensor; or your violation of law.
12.2. The indemnity is unlimited for wilful or fraudulent conduct. Otherwise it is limited to actual loss and reasonable costs, to the extent the law allows. The lawyer will review any cap before release.
Clause 13. Limit on ComicStation's liability
13.1. The Platform is provided as is. ComicStation does not guarantee earnings, readership or a perfectly accurate translation.
13.2. Except for wilful misconduct, gross negligence, infringement of your moral rights, or where the law does not allow a limit, ComicStation's total liability to you shall not exceed the revenue share paid or payable to you in the 12 months before the event.
13.3. Nothing excludes a right or duty that Vietnamese law does not allow to be excluded.
Clause 13A. Intermediary hosting and uploaded works
13A.1. ComicStation is an intermediary hosting platform and an e-commerce distributor. It provides storage and display tools, sells reading access and pays royalties. It is not a collection agent and it is not a wallet. It does not create the work, it is not the publisher of the work, and it does not pre-review content you upload before the work is stored on the Platform.
13A.2. To the extent the law allows, including the rules on intermediary service providers, ComicStation is exempt from liability for works you upload and for lawsuits arising from those works, where ComicStation did not know of the infringement and followed the removal process in Clause 10. This exemption does not cover ComicStation's own wilful misconduct, and it does not remove the duty to take a work down once ComicStation knows.
13A.3. You warrant that the work is original or that you hold sufficient rights. You bear full legal responsibility for the work under the law of your place of residence, Vietnamese law and international law.
13A.4. You indemnify ComicStation, sponsors and readers under Clause 12 for claims and lawsuits arising from a work you upload.
13A.5. AI translations are produced by ComicStation on your licence in Clauses 6 and 7. Producing a translation does not make ComicStation the author of the original work, and it does not reduce the warranties in Clause 4.
13A.6. On a dispute or removal, money is handled under Clauses 9 and 10: earnings are frozen, sponsors and readers are refunded, and amounts needed for the true rights holder are held.
Clause 14. Term and ending
14.1. This agreement starts when you click "I agree and sign" and continues until it ends. You may withdraw a work or end the agreement on 30 days' notice through the Platform.
14.2. ComicStation may end it on 30 days' notice for operational reasons, or immediately if you breach Clause 3, 4, 5 or 11.3, or if an authority requires it.
14.3. If you withdraw without a breach, a translation that already has a sponsor stays readable for the survival period in Schedule B. During that period the split in Clause 8 continues. No new sponsorship opens from the notice date.
14.4. If the agreement ends for breach or the work is removed for infringement, the work and all translations come down and money is handled under Clause 10. You receive nothing from the infringing work.
14.5. Clauses 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13A, 14 and 15 survive.
Clause 15. Records, data and electronic acceptance
15.1. ComicStation keeps the agreement version, the hash, the consent log, upload declarations and takedown files for as long as needed to prove the contract, resolve disputes, keep accounts and meet duties to authorities.
15.2. Personal data is processed under the Law on Personal Data Protection No. 91/2025/QH15, Decree 356/2025/ND-CP and the privacy policy. Separate boxes record identity checks, transfer of data abroad to service providers, and disclosure in the takedown process.
15.3. This agreement is concluded by electronic means under the Law on Electronic Transactions No. 20/2023/QH15. Being shown the full text, ticking the required boxes, and clicking agree while signed in is your electronic signature. A one-time code to your phone or email will be required when ComicStation turns that step on. Until then, the log stores your account id, time, IP address, browser, version, hash and the boxes you ticked. The parties accept that log as evidence.
15.4. ComicStation may amend this agreement with at least 30 days' notice. An adverse change to the split, the licence or the holding period applies only if you accept it again. If you do not, you may end the agreement and the previous version continues during the notice period. Publishing again after the agreement version changes requires acceptance of the version then in force.
Clause 16. Governing law
16.1. This agreement is governed by the laws of Vietnam. That does not limit mandatory rules of the place where an intellectual-property infringement occurs, as they apply to your liability to a third party.
16.2. The parties first use the internal complaint channel for 30 days. A dispute between ComicStation and you is then resolved by arbitration at the Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC), one arbitrator, with the seat in Vietnam. The award is final. A true rights holder who is not a party is not bound by this arbitration clause.
16.3. This agreement does not create employment, agency or a joint venture. You may not assign it without ComicStation's consent.
Schedule A. Upload declaration
For each series you choose one basis of rights: sole author; co-author; owner or licensee; public domain; or an open licence. You declare excluded languages or territories and any use of AI in creation.
- You created the work or hold the rights to upload it and to license ComicStation to translate it into about 70 languages and distribute it for a fee worldwide, except exclusions.
- The work does not contain copied, scanned, raw or scanlated material, or anyone else's intellectual property, without permission.
- Every co-author has consented in writing.
- You will provide evidence within 5 working days on request.
- If the declaration is false, the work will be removed, earnings may be frozen or clawed back to refund sponsors and the true owner, the account may be closed, and you bear full legal responsibility.
You type your full name to confirm.
Schedule B. Commercial parameters
The figures below are read from the translation_pricing row in force when this page is shown. When that configuration changes, the example on the page changes with it. An adverse change to your share applies only after you accept a new agreement version.
Illustrative example, not a promise. The figures are read from translation_pricing when this page is built. They are not written into the terms as fixed prices.
Columns in use: coins_per_page_chapter = 20; later_reader_bps = 3000; creator_gross_bps = 7000; sponsor_share_bps = 3000; platform_of_creator_bps = 3000; platform_of_sponsor_bps = 1000; creator_share_bps = 7000; platform_share_bps = 3000; vnd_per_coin = 1000.
One 20-page chapter. The sponsor pays 20 coins per page, 400 coins for the chapter. One later reader pays 30% of that price, which is 120 coins for the chapter. Tier 1 of the later-reader payment: author 70% = 84 coins; sponsor 30% = 36 coins. Tier 2: ComicStation takes 30% of the author's part = 25.2 coins, and 10% of the sponsor's part = 3.6 coins. Left after both tiers: author 58.8 coins (49%), sponsor 32.4 coins (27%), ComicStation 28.8 coins (24%). Paid original-language reading is not built yet. When it opens, the author receives 70% and ComicStation receives 30%. The sponsor has no share of that line.
The cash basis of a royalty is the net cash actually received for that read. Each coin purchase records a per-user lot whose VND and USD value is the price paid minus the payment-gateway fee, with the foreign-exchange snapshot taken at purchase. When coins are spent, the money value of the lots consumed in first-in first-out (FIFO) order is what the two tiers split. Bonus, promotional and free coins carry zero value and create no royalty. Refunds and chargebacks of a purchase reverse earnings that are still in the holding period.
AI translation cost paid by the creator: 0. The sponsor pays to open the translation.
Paid original-language reading: not open yet. When it opens, the author receives creator_share_bps and ComicStation receives platform_share_bps.
Royalties are paid in VND to a Vietnam bank account, or in USD to PayPal, Payoneer, Wise or an international bank account, as recorded on the payee profile. The foreign-exchange snapshot stays on the coin lot and on the earning. A payout does not take a new rate. The default hold is 30 days. The default threshold is 200,000 VND or 10 USD. Identity is a status on the profile. No identity vendor is attached.
