Storie Terms Of Usage
January 14th, 2023
These are the terms and conditions for use of the voice and/or image of any Storie voicebank. Neither Eliza Ditton nor the distributors of these voicebanks are responsible for any damages, incidents, harm, loss, or legal action taken against any user caused by attempting to download, downloading, attempting to use, and/or using a Storie voicebank. All voicebanks are offered as-is for use in the UTAU vocal synthesis software (UTAU - 歌声合成ツール) and the OpenUtau vocal synthesis software. Though porting these voicebanks to other software is permitted in certain cases, neither Eliza Ditton nor the distributors of these voicebanks are responsible for any damages, incidents, harm, loss, or legal action taken against the user caused by doing so. Action will be taken against any user who violates these terms. These terms of usage may be subject to change without prior notice. Please check our website often to see the latest version of these terms and view the changelog at the bottom of the page for more information on any updates.
I. Permissions
- You may use the voicebanks of Storie characters free of charge so long as a.) proper credit is given to Eliza Ditton, b.) the Storie character and/or voicebank name is specified when used, c.) these terms are taken into account and followed and d.) the use is non-commercial. If you wish to use the voicebank of a Storie character commercially, you must first purchase a license from Eliza Ditton. Please see below for further details on commercial usage.
- You may port the Storie voicebanks for use in software other than UTAU and/or OpenUtau so long as a.) it is legal and complies with both these terms as well as the terms for the desired software, b.) proper credit is given and these terms are taken into account and followed and c.) it is done so privately, meaning that the newly ported voicebank is not redistributed publicly. As previously stated, neither Eliza Ditton nor any of the distributors of these voicebanks are responsible for any damages, incidents, harm, loss, or legal action taken against the user if a terms of use statement, agreement, contract, law, etc is violated. The user is porting the voicebank at their own risk.
- You are free to use any of the official artwork for any Storie character that comes packaged with any of that character's voicebanks, so long as a.) proper credit is given and these terms are taken into account and followed, b.) the Storie character and/or voicebank name is specified and c.) it is done so non-commercially. If you wish to use any image of a Storie character commercially, you must first purchase a license from Eliza Ditton. Please see below for further details on commercial usage.
II. Prohibitions
- Use of the voice and/or image of a Storie character without proper credit and/or without specifying the Storie character or voicebank used is strictly prohibited, unless you have purchased a commercial license from Eliza Ditton.

III. Commercial Usage

Once a license is purchased, the user is no longer required to specify the Storie character or Storie voicebank used.

- Doujin works, or the selling of merchandise using the image/voice of any Storie character in small batches at singular events for fun rather than for profit is allowed without credit or a commercial license, so long as a.) the merchandise is made by the user in question with the intention of selling it in small batches at singular events for fun rather than profit as previously described and b.) the other terms in this agreement are taken into account and followed.
IV. Closing
