RIGHTS OF USE

Our products and services are provided exclusively for use as props, decorations, or for production purposes within audiovisual productions or comparable media projects of the client under the respective contractual relationship.

In accordance with our generally applicable General Terms and Conditions (GTC), the right of use arises only upon full payment of all claims arising from the respective contractual relationship.

Upon full payment, the client receives a non-exclusive, worldwide, and time-unlimited right of use, limited in scope to the respective contractual relationship.

  • Series and season productions

as well as comparable audiovisual media projects.

This also includes, in particular, reruns, streaming broadcasts, international licensing, and public performances within the scope of the respective contractual relationship.

Use in other or independent productions, or outside the original contractual relationship, is not permitted and requires a separate written agreement within the meaning of Section 126 of the German Civil Code (BGB).

The right of use includes, in particular:

  • Integration into film, TV, streaming, and online productions
  • Public performance, broadcasting, screening, and making available to the public
  • Reproduction and distribution on visual, audio, or data media

Fictional Brand Names and Designs

Fictional brand names and designs are not provided as registered trademarks. The application for or transfer of trademark, trade mark, or other intellectual property rights is not part of the grant of rights.

The provider creates fictional brand names and designs to the best of its knowledge and belief and conducts customary searches prior to initial provision, within reasonable limits. These searches are conducted once and without any claim to completeness. No warranty or guarantee is provided that no identical or similar marks exist, will exist, are registered, or will be registered.

The provider does not register or secure the fictional brand names itself.

After initial provision, the provider is under no obligation to continuously check or monitor previously created or delivered brand names and designs for newly created, applied for, or registered third-party mark rights.

Legal Review and Approval

The legal review and approval, as well as the decision regarding the type, scope, and specific presentation of the delivered products and services within a production or comparable media project, are the sole responsibility of the client.

This applies in particular to compliance with the statutory regulations applicable at the place of use, as well as to national and international exploitation.

Subsequent Expansion of Rights

Subsequent demands for the transfer of broader rights of use, additional rights, or other contractual obligations are not part of the contract. Any expansion requires a separate written agreement within the meaning of Section 126 of the German Civil Code (BGB), signed by both parties.

These notes on the rights of use are provided exclusively for general information and explanation.

Only our generally applicable General Terms and Conditions (GTC) are decisive and legally binding.
