Can I use these backgrounds...?

[Indica]

I highly doubt I can, but wanted to at least ask to make sure! Backgrounds like this from the Choices app, are they okay to use in our stories if we give proper credit?

@Indica @AMagic and @lanafrazer_episode

If they’re copyrighted by another app, then no, they are definitely not okay to use. Since Choices is also a competitor app, using their images in an Episode story is liable to get you into legal trouble.

From our Content Guidelines:

Hope that clears it up.
