Creators (the makers and sellers of stickers) can only sell stickers they have created once they have been approved by the LINE Creators Market review process. Sticker designs that are determined by LINE to fall under or risk falling under the categories listed below stand a good chance of being rejected for or removed from sale by LINE. Please review the following guidelines carefully before submitting your stickers. Please note that some stickers may be approved for sale despite falling under the categories listed below due to the content of the stickers, their regions of distribution, or the characteristics of their creator. If you use photos as part of your graphics, we may request that you provide documentation supporting your right to use them.
