Hello John,
Thanks for contacting SNK PLAYMORE regarding the Blue's Journey t-shirt.
According to our legal department, since the site is not-for-profit and
moneys will only be used for server sustainment, we do not see a problem
with you using the license. However, we do have a few requirements to this
informal agreement:
1. The shirts can only be sold on your site and not at any other online or
offline outlet.
2. If requested, a sales report of the quantity sold will be provided to
SNK.
3. SNK reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time and
production of the shirts will be discontinued.
Please reply to this email letting me know if this is acceptable.
Regards,
Mark
SNK PLAYMORE USA

Hello, my name is John Dixon. I run a not-for-profit t-shirt shop
<http://133024.spreadshirt.com/> on behalf of Gaming World
<http://www.gamingw.net>, a website about playing and making video
games. We have been using the main character from Blue's Journey
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%27s%20Journey> as our unofficial
mascot for years (he is usually coupled with the slogan "Are you
resistins me?"), and I would like to have one of my guys draw up a
representation of this character to be used on t-shirts. We don't make
any money off the t-shirts; it is used for server sustainment. We'd
just like to be able to wear shirts with our favorite character on them!
I'd like to talk to whomever can help me secure permission so I can
legally use it on the t-shirts. Thank you for your time, and I look
forward to your response.
