IV. Video Policy and Use of Intellectual Property
If you have Fantasy Strike stories to tell, especially in video form, we’re all for it! But please follow these guidelines.

Monetizing ads. You may run ads or other revenue generating streams via the YouTube Partner Program or similar programs on other video sharing sites that don’t interfere with a user’s access to the video.

Sponsorships. You may display a sponsor’s logo at the beginning of the video, in the credits, or as a shout out during the video. Please keep sponsor mentions to a reasonable, minimal length and make it clear (either by mentioning a sponsor or a “sponsored by” with their logo) that they are acting as a sponsor only (and a sponsor for you, not for Fantasy Strike).

Fantasy Strike and Sirlin Games logos. Do not use the Fantasy Strike and Sirlin Games logos without express written consent from Sirlin Games.
