1. User licences
In some places, the participating portals use content which users have provided to the portals.
This content is used and displayed on the portals under the licence “All rights reserved”.
However, this means that you hereby grant MAIRDUMONT, for the duration of the statutory copyright and ancillary copyright protection, irrevocably and gratuitously the non-exclusive use right, without any restriction in relation to time, place or content, to all content for any exploitation in all known types of electronic use, in particular the right to reproduction and dissemination, to public communication including the rights of recital, performance and presentation, the right to make it available to the public, the transmission right, the right of playback on picture and sound carriers and the right of playback of radio transmissions as well as the archiving, database and synchronisation right.
MAIRDUMONT shall further be entitled without restriction to edit the content, provided that this does not violate the author’s right of personality, in particular to modify, amend, shorten or expand, divide or edit it in some other way in order to adapt it in particular to the format specifications which are required for utilisation within the framework of the services which are offered and/or in other granted types of use and/or to improve the quality of the representation.
If possible, use rights shall furthermore also be granted to MAIRDUMONT for digital types of use which are not yet known.
MAIRDUMONT shall further be entitled to transfer the abovementioned rights in whole or in part to third parties and to issue licences thereto.
When you upload content, you undertake not to exercise your right arising from Section 13 sentence 2 of the German Copyright Act (naming as the originator). However, MAIRDUMONT shall, without acknowledging any legal obligation to do so and only where it is technically possible and appropriate, endeavour to name the originator in a proper way.
Content and other data (e.g. user names) may also be used on other portals and search engines and in any other media for providing notification about and promoting the website and the products of MAIRDUMONT.
MAIRDUMONT shall be entitled to place and/or carry out advertising in the periphery of the content and when using it. You hereby give your explicit consent to this.
MAIRDUMONT shall be entitled to exercise the above rights separately in each case in respect of the entire content and for parts or extracts thereof.
You provide an explicit guarantee that you are the owner of all the necessary rights to the content which you have provided and/or uploaded and are not prevented from granting the above rights to MAIRDUMONT. You guarantee further that you have not yet disposed of the rights in the scope set out above to the content which you have uploaded exclusively elsewhere, that with the above granting of rights you do not violate any rights of third parties and that there are no contractual relationships with third parties. In the event of a breach of these guarantees and/or a granting of rights which is non-existent, incomplete or defective, you shall indemnify MAIRDUMONT against any claims made by third parties.
