  • reproduction (including storage on the website’s servers, copying to a computer or electronic storage medium, and electronic archiving),
  • communication to the public,
  • distribution,
  • adaptation as necessary for the purpose and operation of the website and the Operator’s activities—provided such adaptation does not infringe upon the author’s integrity or moral rights (e.g., cropping images, resizing).

The User acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 16(4) of the Copyright Act, the Operator is not obligated to provide any financial compensation for the display of the Content, its further use, or any potential benefits arising from the operation of the website. By accepting this statement, the User expressly waives any such claim for compensation.

3. Warranty

By uploading the Content, the User expressly warrants that:

  • the User holds unlimited and exclusive copyright and usage rights to the uploaded Content, OR
  • the Content is a freely usable work in the public domain (e.g., the term of protection has expired, or it falls under the free use provisions of Sections 33–34 of the Copyright Act), OR
  • the User has a valid, express, and verifiable license from the original author and rights holder of the Content for use as described in this declaration (and for transfer to the Operator); AND
  • the Content does not infringe upon any third party’s exclusive copyright, personal rights, trademark, or trade secret; AND

The User bears full and exclusive legal and financial liability for any breach of the warranty set forth in Section 3.

5. Operator’s Limitation of Liability and Removal of Infringing Content

The Operator—as an intermediary service provider—assumes no liability for the legality of Content uploaded to the website.

If the Operator becomes aware, on credible grounds (e.g., upon receiving a notice from the rights holder), that uploaded Content infringes the rights or legitimate interests of a third party, the Operator is entitled to immediately remove the infringing Content from the website without prior notice or justification, and, in the event of a serious or repeated infringement, to suspend or terminate the User’s access. The User may not assert any claims for damages or other claims against the Operator as a result of the removal of the Content.
