By accessing the Service, the user acknowledges having read these ToS and agrees to comply with them.

2. Definitions

The capitalized terms below have the meanings set out here, whether used in the singular or plural.

2.1. Service and overall structure

- Exploitation Rights means non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable rights granted by an Artist to a Producer, a Client or to Drawn Lights, for the sole purpose of creating Drone Shows. This right authorizes, including outside the Service: (i) the use and integration of the Content in one or more Drone Shows, (ii) adaptations strictly necessary for their production, (iii) the reproduction and representation of the Content for the promotion, capture and distribution of said Shows. This right does not authorize the resale, rental, sub-licensing, redistribution, or republication of the Content (on the Platform or elsewhere) under the name of the Producer or a third party, nor its use in a competing service. Any provision of the Content source is solely to enable the authorized exploitation and does not entail any transfer of intellectual property. Drawn Lights does not ensure control over subsequent uses and is not responsible for violations committed by Users except if committed on the Platform. The Exploitation Right is granted for the purpose of creating a Drone Show and in any case benefits the Producer responsible for its implementation.

If an Account is deleted or suspended for ToS violations, the associated Credits are cancelled without compensation.

6. Content Usage Rights

When publishing Content, the Artist sets the rights granted to other Users and to the Service across three levels: Viewing, Integration, Exploitation. Each level has specific rules on visibility, use, and remuneration.

6.1 Viewing Rights

Define the conditions under which Content can be viewed on the Platform.

On publication, the Artist sets the visibility.

Public: visible to all Users.
Restricted: visible only to designated Users or groups.
Private: accessible only to the Artist.

No financial consideration. Viewing only. No authorization to modify, reproduce, or integrate.

6.2 Integration Rights

Govern the incorporation of Content into other digital content or a Show Arrangement on the Platform for design, simulation, or rendering purposes.

On publication, the Artist defines integration conditions.

Types or categories of Content with which integration is allowed.
Integration restrictions, such as excluded categories, projects, or uses.

No direct remuneration. No commercial exploitation rights are conveyed.

6.3 Exploitation Rights

Define use in a public or commercial context, notably within a Drone Show or any distribution outside the Platform.

On publication, the Artist specifies:

The exploitation price.
Whether exploitation is exclusive.

Acquisition constitutes a transfer of rights, not a temporary license. The purchasing Producer or Client uses the Content per the Artist's parameters and these ToS.

For a Custom Design Request, Exploitation Rights are automatically transferred to the Client and benefit the Producer executing the Show.

Exclusivity may be negotiated in a Custom Design Request or set at publication.
