This provision clarifies the scope of content usage rights retained by Roblox beyond the direct operation of the platform. It establishes the operational framework for how creator content may be repurposed for commercial promotional activities.
Interpretive note: The change summary describes a simplification of existing rights, but the precise scope of the advertising license (royalty-free, exclusive, territorial scope, duration) requires review of the full Creator Terms incorporated by reference, which are not fully reproduced in the provided document text.
The updated Terms of Use incorporate previously separate AI tool disclosures and advertising policies directly into the main user and creator agreement sections.
