The brands of the Centre Pompidou and its partners, together with the logos featured on the Site, are registered trademarks filed with the INPI (National Institute of Intellectual Property) and as such are protected by intellectual property rights. 

It is strictly prohibited to reproduce these brands and/or logos in whole or in part using elements of the Site without the express authorisation of the Centre Pompidou or their owners; any such use constitutes an infringement offence, according to the Intellectual Property Code.

The term "Resources" includes all content presented in the Site's resource centre, including fixed and animated images, screen captures, illustrations, texts, complete works or excerpts and sound files (recordings of conferences, interviews, works or parts of musical works, sound installations, etc.).

The Site resource centre does not include the so-called "institutional" part, meaning  information, at the date of the General Conditions of Use, in the sections entitled "The Centre Pompidou" and "Your Visit", available on the Home Page.

The Centre Pompidou provides web users with these Resources, which are protected by current laws as to their use. Authorisation for any further use must be requested directly from the rights holders, the copyright management associations representing them or, if need be, the Centre Pompidou.

Without such authorisation, any reproduction or total or partial representation, and any use, adaptation, provision or modification of these elements is strictly prohibited and constitutes an infringement offence, according to the Intellectual Property Code. 

All credits for Resources can be viewed by web users on the page where they are presented.  The Centre Pompidou undertakes to check the accuracy of the information it provides to web users. Should this information contain any inaccuracies or errors, it undertakes to make every effort for these to be corrected as soon as possible.  

According to act no. 78-753 of 17 July 1978 concerning measures for improved relations between the administration and the public, certain Site contents are considered as administrative documents, notably information content.

The Site Publisher may under no circumstances be held responsible for the nature of such content or for any damage or prejudice arising from same.

Furthermore, as the Publisher has no means of controlling or monitoring the sites referenced, or any changes or updates, the provision of hypertext links gives rise to no obligation of any kind on the Publisher's part.

The Centre Pompidou provides users with the option of using a personal space (hereinafter "the Service") on the site, in which they can find all the pages or digital content of the resource centre they wish to save in their "favourites", and manage the personal information associated with this account. The majority of site elements can be added to this "personal space": if so, they are indicated by the "add to favourites" icon shown beside these elements. 

In their personal space, users can also create a list or a compilation of links to one or more digital contents of the resource centre, called "Circuits".

Definition

Users can request to become "contributors" through their personal spaces. Once the request is approved by the Centre Pompidou, this function gives them access to different types of contributions, described below, enabling them to add to the site's resource centre. 

Types of contributions

Users can propose a so-called open "Contribution" to the Centre Pompidou. Centre Pompidou agents will then process this Contribution and decide whether to publish it on the site, or modify it.

Users can also propose a Contribution in the form of collaborative keywords, by attributing it to a Resource. This keyword is selected from the thesaurus provided by the   Centre Pompidou. It is possible to suggest the addition of a keyword not contained in the thesaurus: in this case, the keyword is validated by the Centre Pompidou agents in the thesaurus before being potentially added to the Resource.

A keyword can be accompanied by a comment. The purpose of this is to explain the reason for the indexation to other contributors. 

Users who provide Contributions guarantee the Centre Pompidou that their Contributions contain no elements constituting defamatory or abusive remarks made punishable by the Freedom of the Press Act of 29 July 1981 on defamation, abuse and incitement to racial hatred, which is applicable to the Internet.
