J. RIGHTS IN CONTENT YOU SUBMIT OR MAKE AVAILABLE FOR INCLUSION ON THE SERVICE

ATELIER DE DROUOT does not claim ownership of Content you post, submit or make available for inclusion on the Service. You retain all rights in and ownership of such Content, but you hereby grant ATELIER DE DROUOT and its partners the worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Site, in connection with the Service and in promotional and marketing materials and activities related to ATELIER DE DROUOT services and products.

When you post or submit Content for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of ATELIER DE DROUOT, you agree to grant to other users one of the following licenses (each a ” License”) with respect to such Content unless you designate such Content as All Rights Reserved (using the available user settings) or such Content is in the public domain (in which case you will so indicate):

Creative Commons Licenses:

  • Attribution (by) – This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in terms of what others can do with your works licensed under Attribution. The complete terms for the Attribution license are attached here and are incorporated herein by this reference.
  • Attribution Share Alike (by-sa) – This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use. The complete terms for the Attribution Share Alike license are attached here and are incorporated herein by this reference.
  • Attribution No Derivatives (by-nd) – This license allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to you. The complete terms for the Attribution No Derivatives license are attached here and are incorporated herein by this reference.
  • Attribution Non-commercial (by-nc) – This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms. The complete terms for the Attribution Non Commercial license are attached here and are incorporated herein by this reference.
  • Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike (by-nc-sa) – This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. Others can download and redistribute your work just like the by-nc-nd license, but they can also translate, make remixes, and produce new stories based on your work. All new work based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also be non-commercial in nature. The complete terms for the Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike license are attached here and are incorporated herein by this reference.
  • Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives (by-nc-nd) – Choose by-nc-nd license. This license is the most restrictive of the six main Creative Commons licenses, allowing redistribution. This license is often called the “free advertising” license because it allows others to download your works and share them with others as long as they mention you and link back to you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially. The complete terms for the Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives license are attached here and are incorporated herein by this reference.

The default License that will be applicable to all Content you post on publicly accessible areas of ATELIER DE DROUOT, unless you designate a different License with respect to a particular item of Content, select a different default option where available or designate the Content as All Rights Reserved using the applicable user settings, is the “Attribution (by)” license. You may change this default at any time, and you may select a different License for any particular item of Content or indicate that it is in the public domain. By posting such Content to publicly accessible areas of ATELIER DE DROUOT, you hereby grant to anyone the right to use such Content in accordance with the terms of the applicable License (see Creative Commons FAQ for further information on the Creative Commons licenses).
