Terms of use for photos

1. All photos available on the media server are subject to copyright and may only be used in accordance with these terms of use. The term "use" used in the following includes downloading and any form of reproduction, editing, distribution and publication, regardless of the technical form in which this occurs. Before downloading or otherwise using a photo for the first time, the user recognises these terms of use as a binding agreement between him/her and Hamburg Marketing GmbH (HMG).
Unlawful use may be prosecuted under civil and criminal law in accordance with the general laws and these terms of use.

c) Use by administrative organisations based outside the Hamburg Metropolitan Region exclusively for editorially designed publications (e.g. brochures) to inform the public about the Hamburg Metropolitan Region.

d) Use for the illustration of journalistic-editorial reporting to inform the public about the Hamburg Metropolitan Region in all media, in particular printed matter, film contributions, websites, etc., provided that no advertising reference is made to services, products and other offers of identifiable providers and/or such providers.

e) It is expressly pointed out that the use on/in products that are offered for sale against a purchase price is not permitted. This applies in particular to merchandising items such as (in a non-exhaustive list) postcards/posters/posters, calendars, books, clothing, bags, decorative items, stationery, CDs/DVDs/Blue Ray Discs and similar data carriers. Use in newspapers and magazines available for purchase is permitted under the conditions set out in d) above.

3. In addition to the user groups/purposes of use specified above under item 2, the photos designated as "For Everyone" in the media server may also be used by other companies, i.e. those in which administrative organisations of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region have neither a direct nor an indirect interest, and by non-profit associations based in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, provided that the use is exclusively for the purpose of location marketing for their activities in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region without advertising specific services, products and other offers.
Any other use of "For Everyone", in particular advertising and/or commercial use, may be authorised in writing by HMG (contact: markenservice@marketing.hamburg.de) on request in individual cases. HMG is authorised to grant or refuse approval at its own discretion, even without giving reasons. Even after authorisation has been granted, responsibility for use in accordance with section 4 of these Terms of Use remains with the user.

4. The use of the photos is the sole responsibility of the user. Users are obliged to comply with these Terms of Use, the generally applicable laws and other binding legal provisions when using the photos. In particular, they are obliged to respect the rights of third parties (e.g. personal rights, right to one's own image, copyrights, trademark rights) and to comply with criminal law and youth protection regulations.
HMG is not liable for claims arising from unlawful use of the photos. This exclusion of liability does not apply if HMG or its employees have acted wilfully or with gross negligence.

5. Photos that are no longer offered on the media server at the time of the intended use may no longer be used. Embodied (e.g. printed) products that have already been fully produced may - provided they have been produced and offered/distributed in compliance with these terms and conditions of use - be redistributed, unless this conflicts with third-party rights and/or court/contractual injunctions.
In individual cases, a limited period of use has been agreed with the photographers. Corresponding information is provided with the photos shown in each case. The user is only authorised to use these photos until the expiry of the period of use stated with the photo. In the event of unauthorised further use, sections 9 - 11 of these terms of use shall apply.

6. The user himself may not transfer the rights granted to him to third parties. An exception to this is the transfer of photos to companies that have been commissioned by the user with the production/technical realisation of a use permitted under these terms of use and the general laws/legal regulations. Such companies are also permitted to download the files themselves for this purpose, whereby the files must be completely deleted immediately after completion of the order.

7. Editing/modification of the photos is not permitted. This also applies to image montages and electronic editing of any kind and the use of excerpts.
Editing that does not change the basic image content and the image message and does not infringe the rights of third parties or the legitimate interests of HMG may be authorised in exceptional cases following prior written request by HMG (contact: markenservice@marketing.hamburg.de). HMG is authorised to grant or refuse approval at its own discretion, even without giving reasons. Even after authorisation has been granted, responsibility for use in accordance with section 4 of these Terms of Use remains with the user.

8. The user is obliged to include the copyright notice "Photo: Mediaserver Hamburg" plus, if indicated, the name of the photographer (example: "Photo: Mediaserver Hamburg / Max Mustermann") with every publication as a caption or picture caption.
The caption or picture caption must be attached directly to the photo concerned. Collective designations are only permissible in exceptional cases if they allow the copyright notice to be easily and clearly assigned to the photos concerned. A link to the respective image must be created on the web. Exceptions may be authorised in writing by HMG in individual cases.

9. HMG reserves the right to prohibit the use of the photos in individual cases or for the user as a whole in the future for good cause. Good cause includes, in particular, a breach of these terms of use, laws or other legal provisions.
In this case, the user undertakes not to make any further use and to completely delete the photos (downloads) in his possession. Uses in online media, e.g. on the Internet, must be terminated immediately and any photos stored for this purpose must be deleted. Embodied (e.g. printed) products that have already been produced in full may - provided they have been produced and offered/distributed in compliance with these terms of use - be distributed further, unless this conflicts with third-party rights and/or court/contractual injunctions.

10. In the event of a breach of these terms of use, HMG may demand that the user withdraws or corrects his products featuring the photos at his own expense or ceases distribution altogether. In addition, HMG reserves the right to assert legal claims in this case, in particular claims for damages and claims pursuant to Section 11 of these Terms of Use.

11. If the photos are used in violation of these terms of use or the law, the user undertakes to pay a standard market image fee as compensation for licence damages, which is generally calculated according to the annual fee overviews of the Mittelstandsgemeinschaft Fotomarketing (MFM). The user and HMG are at liberty to prove a higher or lower licence fee.

In addition, HMG and the photographers/image authors reserve the right to assert legal claims, in particular for injunctive relief/removal and further claims for damages. The user is obliged to provide HMG immediately upon request with complete and truthful information in writing about the type and scope of his unauthorised use as well as any further information required for the enforcement of or defence against claims and to affirm the accuracy and completeness of this information in writing in lieu of an oath upon request.

12. Users are obliged to send HMG two specimen copies of all uses of the photos (irrespective of the form in which the use has taken place (e.g. printed copies, CD/DVD or similar, online link)) immediately and free of charge upon request.

13. The image data provided has been produced to the best of our knowledge and belief. Nevertheless, HMG accepts no liability for the constant availability of the data, errors in the data or for any resulting system errors or malfunctions. This exclusion of liability does not apply if HMG or its employees have acted wilfully or with gross negligence.

14. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply with the exception of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Hamburg is agreed as the place of jurisdiction for disputes in connection with the use of the photos and these Terms of Use, insofar as this is legally permissible.
The invalidity of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the intended economic purpose. The same applies in the event of a contractual loophole.
