By purchasing from us or using our pages, you agree to our Terms and Conditions, as well as to the Privacy Policy, Refund & Return Policy, and License and Intellectual Property Policy. Customer Reviews and FAQ are also available to the public.

1. General rule

Unless a specific product page states otherwise, all NOWINTIME products and content are protected and all rights are reserved.

Purchasing a product does not transfer any copyright, trademark rights, design rights, source rights, or any right to reproduce, redistribute, modify, scan, reverse engineer, remake, digitize, publish, or commercially exploit the product.

You are buying a lawful copy or object, not the underlying intellectual property.

For physical products sold by NOWINTIME, including but not limited to Game Boy literary cartridges, retro-tech objects, printed pieces, decorative items, and handmade or modified products:

You may:

  • own and use the item for personal, private, non-commercial purposes
  • display the item
  • resell the original physical item only, provided you do not reproduce it and do not imply any official affiliation that does not exist

You may not:

  • reproduce the object commercially or non-commercially
  • copy its packaging, design, layout, documentation, artwork, or presentation
  • scan, mold, cast, clone, mass-produce, or manufacture derivatives from it
  • use our branding, product photos, text, or presentation assets without permission
  • represent unofficial products as official merchandise

3. Digital products with restricted license

Unless otherwise stated, NOWINTIME digital products are licensed, not sold.

For fonts and 3D printing model files, the current license is:

Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)

That means you may:

  • download and use the file for personal, non-commercial purposes
  • print or use it privately, subject to the terms of the relevant license
  • share the unmodified file only where the CC BY-NC-ND license permits it, with proper attribution and without commercial use

You may not:

  • use it commercially
  • modify, remix, adapt, translate, convert, redraw, or create derivative works from it
  • redistribute edited versions
  • reupload it as your own work or sell it
  • sell prints, products, bundles, or outputs derived from it where that would violate the license

4. Other digital products

For software, games, tools, interfaces, assets, interactive works, text formatting, layouts, and any digital item not expressly released under a separate license, all rights are reserved.

No copying, redistribution, reverse engineering, decompiling, extraction, resale, sublicensing, mirroring, or derivative use is allowed without prior written permission, except to the extent mandatory law expressly permits.

5. GBbooks and literary cartridges

NOWINTIME GBbooks and related literary cartridges include original design, formatting, medium adaptation, and presentation work by NOWINTIME.

Where a cartridge contains a text in the public domain, only the underlying public-domain text remains in the public domain. The specific conversion, arrangement, formatting, design, packaging, branding, and medium-specific adaptation created by NOWINTIME remain protected.

Suggested notice for GBbooks product pages or inserts:

Designed and gameboynized by NOWINTIME ©2026. All rights reserved.
Contains a non-original Game Boy Color cartridge.
Game Boy Color is a trademark of Nintendo.
This product is an independent creation and is not affiliated with or authorized by Nintendo.
Where stated, the product may contain a public domain text adapted and reformatted for this medium.
Created with GameBoy Book Reader by MQP Electronics under CC BY 4.0.

Where a custom GB Book contains a third-party text, translation, or related material, all rights in the original story, characters, translation, and any associated copyrighted elements remain with their respective rights holders. Any such material is incorporated only as part of a custom technical adaptation for private reading and display on vintage-compatible hardware. NOWINTIME claims rights only in its own conversion, formatting, layout, packaging, and medium-specific presentation, and not in the underlying source material.

6. Unofficial branded decorative products

Some 3D-printed objects may depict or reinterpret famous software, app, or brand logos for decorative, referential, or descriptive purposes.

These products are unofficial, are not licensed merchandise, and are not authorized by the relevant rights holders.

All third-party names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

NOWINTIME claims rights only in its own original presentation, print execution, photography, packaging, and independent creative contribution, to the extent legally applicable.

7. Custom Requests and Third-Party Rights

At a buyer’s request, NOWINTIME may create custom adaptations, formats, layouts, or object designs based on materials, characters, texts, logos, symbols, or other intellectual property owned by third parties. In all such cases, all underlying rights in those source materials remain with their respective copyright holders, trademark owners, or other rights holders. NOWINTIME claims rights only, where legally applicable, in its own independent technical adaptation, formatting, layout, presentation, packaging, and medium-specific design contribution, and never in the underlying third-party property itself.

Where a custom product includes buyer-requested or buyer-supplied material, the buyer is responsible for ensuring that their requested use does not infringe the rights of third parties. NOWINTIME may refuse, cancel, or remove a custom order where the requested content appears unlawful, infringing, misleading, or legally risky.

Nothing in this policy shall be interpreted as a claim of ownership over third-party intellectual property or as a license, authorization, endorsement, or affiliation granted by its respective rights holders.

8. Breach of license

Any unauthorized use may result in license termination, listing removal requests, platform reports, legal notice, or further action where appropriate.
