By accessing the Site and each of its components (images, illustrations, videos, sounds, texts, graphic elements, branding…), including software, databases, and graphic design (hereinafter the “Content”), Users expressly acknowledge that the Site and its Content are the exclusive property of Pathé and are protected by the Intellectual Property Code as well as by applicable international treaties and agreements relating to the protection of intellectual property rights.

Pathé and/or its partners are the sole holders of all rights, titles, and interests in the Site and its Content, or guarantee that they have obtained authorization from the authors or rights holders to reproduce its Content on the Site, including all intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, image rights, all copyright, design rights, trademarks, trade names, company names, domain names, technology, know-how, processes, formulas, source codes and executable codes, data, and similar rights, including information relating to any application, registration, or renewal thereof that may be protected by the intellectual property laws, regulations, or rules of any country. The reproduction, representation, adaptation, exploitation, distribution, modification, transmission, dissemination, commercial use, translation, arrangement, transformation, or any derivative or composite creation of all or part of the works, the Content, and any element or information appearing on the Site is strictly prohibited, on any medium whatsoever, by any means whatsoever, current or future, without the prior written authorization of Pathé. Such actions are likely to constitute acts of infringement punishable civilly and criminally, engaging the responsibility of their author. Only the download of downloadable Content accessible on the Site is authorized solely for the exclusive purpose of information for personal use and/or within a strictly professional context, for journalistic communications (e.g., annual brochure, press releases and kits, CSR report).

6.2. Trademarks

All trademarks or logos appearing on the Site are subject to the intellectual property rights that Pathé, a company in its group or a third party in relation to it may hold. Any use, in any way whatsoever, of these trademarks and/or logos is prohibited. Pathé or any company holding intellectual property rights reserves the right to claim damages in case of infringement of its rights.

6.3. Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks are accessible on the Site and allow the User to access websites published by third parties, partners, or social networks whose content Pathé does not control. Consequently, and to the extent that the hyperlinks have been included on the Site solely to facilitate the User’s navigation on the internet, consulting these published sites is the sole choice and responsibility of the User.

Pathé cannot be held responsible for access to these external sites and sources, their content, advertisements, products, services, or any other information or data available on or from these external sites or sources to which the hyperlinks present on the Site refer.

As a principle, the use of the Site is reserved for strict personal use. Any creation of links to the Pathé Site, any framing of the Site, and more generally any use of an element composing the Site, is subject to the prior written authorization of Pathé. This authorization may be revoked at any time and at Pathé’s sole discretion.

6.4 Opposition to text and data mining by generative artificial intelligence

The structure of the present Site as well as all audiovisual works and content present on the Site, as well as all of their components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) are protected by intellectual property law and may not be used without the prior written authorization of Pathé.

As needed, Pathé hereby objects to all digital copies or reproductions of these audiovisual works, content and/or any of their protected components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) for the purpose of text and data mining by a generative Artificial Intelligence system (AI), within the meaning of Articles L. 122-5-3, III and L. 211-3, 8° of the Intellectual Property Code (CPI), transposing Directive (EU) 2019/790 of April 17, 2019 on copyright and related rights in the digital single market.

Article R. 122-28 of the CPI specifies that this opposition “does not need to be justified and can be expressed by any means. In the case of content made available to the public online, this opposition can notably be expressed using machine-readable means, including metadata, and by resorting to the general terms of use of a website or service.”

It is recalled that in the context of its activities, Pathé may authorize its contractors and/or its press organizations to use the audiovisual works, content and/or any of their protected components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc.) present on the Site, to the extent strictly necessary for the authorized exploitation or for information purposes. However, these authorizations do not permit these contractors and/or press organizations to make digital copies or reproductions of these works and/or content and/or their components for text and data mining, nor to authorize a third party to do so, particularly an AI system.
Consequently, any text and data mining operations by an AI system using audiovisual works, content and/or any of their copyright-protected components (text, graphics, signs, signals, sounds, images, etc) presented or made available online on the Site or by third parties, whether this making available is done by extracts or in its entirety, in free access for free or for a fee, constitute acts of infringement, punishable by the sanctions provided for in L. 331-1 et seq. of the CPI, unless prior written agreement is obtained from Pathé (or, where applicable, from the collective management organization to which Pathé has expressly entrusted a mandate for this purpose).

To facilitate the machine readability of this right to object or any automated data collection device, this objection is also expressed as: < TDM-RESERVATION: 1> or TDM: NO
