Identify the relevant terms
For a character workflow, preserve the applicable service and version information where relevant. Do not infer the meaning of one provider's terms from a different tool or an old account arrangement.

Check the source artwork, brands and other contributed material through the appropriate process. A platform statement should not be expanded into an unsupported conclusion that every possible input and output is cleared for commercial merchandise.
