Content on DPD and prohibited use of DPD

Content available on DPD

The content available on DPD is protected by the laws in force on intellectual property rights and by related international treaties. Unless otherwise stated, use of any content is permitted exclusively within the limits set forth in the present clause.
The Owner grants the User, for the entire duration of the Agreement, a personal, non-assignable and non-exclusive license for the use of such content. Such license is solely intended for personal use of any such content and never for its commercial use and is limited to the User's device.
Therefore, User may not copy and/or download and/or share (beyond the limits set forth below), modify, publish, transmit, sell, sublicense, edit, transfer/assign to third parties or create derivative works from the content, even of third parties, available on DPD, nor allow any third party to do so through the User or its device, even without User's knowledge. Where explicitly stated on DPD, the User may be authorized, only for personal use, to download and/or copy and/or share some content available through DPD, for its sole personal use and provided that the copyright attributions and all the other attributions requested by the Owner are correctly implemented.

Content provided by third parties

The Owner does not moderate the content or links provided by third parties before their publication on DPD. The Owner is not responsible for the content provided by third parties or for its availability.

Content provided by the User

Users are responsible for their own content and that of third parties that they share through DPD, that they upload and post on or through DPD, or that they transfer by any other means. Users confirm that they have all the necessary consents from third parties whose data and/or content they share with the Owner and hereby indemnify the Owner for any liability or claim arising against the Owner in connection with illegal distribution of third-party content or unlawful use of the Service.
The Owner does not moderate the content provided by Users or by third parties but will act if complaints are received from Users or if orders are issued by the public authorities regarding content deemed offensive or illegal.

In particular, the Owner may decide to suspend or interrupt the visualisation of content in the event that:

  • other Users file complaints;
  • a notice of infringement of intellectual property rights is received;
  • it is decided to do so in view of, or as a result of, legal actions;
  • said action is solicited by a public authority; or
