Hi! I am considering buying assets from the unity asset store to put in my game. Is it allowed? I know a lot of games that do the same thing. But do they get special permission? I emailed the creator of the asset I wanted to buy to ask them. I just got the email back.
I censored out personal info like last names, addresses, etc. In summary he said I could use them, but not resell them.

As long you have permission, you should be okay. If they are copyrighted, you might want to have a permission in order to use it in your game.

All assets are copyrighted. Though you probably mean free assets.

You probably can, but you may want to make sure that you’re also given the right to sublicense that content to Roblox who can then sublicense that content out to other entities. Anything that you upload on Roblox is yours, but Roblox can also gain unlimited use of that asset for corporate initiatives or otherwise.
Section 6(B)(3) of the Terms of Service.

Anything posted on the Unity Asset Store is free domain. The only exception is if it is paid. But even then it would be your domain after you purchase it.

I don’t think that’s the case. The EULA of the store mentions third party licence agreements apply to some assets.
It’s quite bad advice and could end up quite badly for yourself if you assume that you can do whatever you like just because you’ve paid for something. That’s not how licences tend to work.
Check for end user licence agreements before purchasing to protect yourself from buying something you can’t use.

You have full control over whatever you want to put into your game, if your buying assets from a website and putting them I really dont see a problem unless the assets are either stolen and being sold or something else more sinister

My apologizes, BanTech (30 characters)
Yes, that’s why I was worried as I would buy a license to use it for unity not roblox.
