GENERAL TERMS OF USE OF DVP’S WEBSITE
LAST UPDATE: June 2022
The Société des Droits Voisins de la Presse (DVP) is a collective management organisation governed by a strict legal framework set out in Articles L. 321-1 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code (“CPI”), and applies rules of transparency, ethics, and good governance.
This website, owned by DVP, was designed to allow press publishers and news agencies, whether members or not, as well as online public communication services and, more broadly, anyone to obtain general information on DVP, as well as updates and the legal framework concerning neighbouring rights of the press.
More specifically, the website aims to:
- Provide press publishers and news agencies wishing to join DVP with access to useful information and documentation: membership procedure, download of membership files, contact details for admission requests, contributions, claims.
- Inform about events related to DVP’s corporate life: General Assemblies, candidates for the Management and Supervisory Boards.
- Allow online public communication services to obtain information on DVP’s authorisations and repertoire.
- Fulfil the transparency obligation imposed on collective management organisations by the French Intellectual Property Code, requiring the publication of certain documents and information such as DVP’s Articles of Association and General Rules.
By using this website, you agree to comply with applicable regulations, public order, and accepted standards of conduct, as well as these General Terms of Use.
You must therefore read them carefully and, as they may be updated, consult them regularly. If you continue to use the website after modifications have been published, the applicable terms will be those in force at the time of your use.
