Terms of Service

Definitions

• Service: Refers to the MagnificentH Application and Website.
• User Roles: Visitors (access and view rights), Creators (same as Visitors plus listing rights).

User Obligations to respect licensing terms

1. Far and foremost, use of Service requires to follow license terms by rightsholders and providers of images, either uploaded or made available via APIs:
   • specific licenses applied to images are visible on each image displayed (visible on the Create page) as well as in “Curated with” section to each published micro-museum.
2. License Types Explained For Creative Commons Images:
   • Most images carry CC licenses like CC BY or CC BY-SA, enabling creative reuse with simple conditions: attribute the creator, link the license, and sometimes share alike. Our platform handles this seamlessly in the “Curated with” section of every micro-museum, embedding proper credits. Here’s what the rights statement mean in plain language:
     • CC0 (No Rights Reserved): Public domain dedication—use freely for any purpose, no attribution needed.
     • CC BY (Attribution): Remix, adapt, and share commercially or non-commercially, as long as you credit the creator and link the license.
     • CC BY-SA (Attribution-ShareAlike): Like CC BY, but your adaptations must use the same license.
     • CC BY-NC (Attribution-NonCommercial): Reuse freely (except commercial), with attribution.
     • CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike): Like CC BY-NC, but adaptations share alike.
     • CC BY-ND (Attribution-NoDerivs): Share as-is (no remixing), with attribution.
     • CC BY-NC-ND (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs): Share unchanged, non-commercially, with attribution—the most restrictive.
3. License Types Explained For Copyrighted Images:
   • Images with statements “In Copyright” (or when there is no license stated, which is the case when Users upload images) mean the images are protected by full copyright, unless they are reused with permission or rely on EU exceptions. One such exception relevant to micro-museum stories is for creative reuse for quotation, criticism, or review, e.g. when paired with your transformative storytelling context. When creating micro-museums with images labelled “In Copyright”, balance the use by adding your curation and narrative for fair and analytical use.
4. Terms of use links. If you are unsure, you can check term of use-pages of each provider (and contact them if more clarification is needed):
