Please Note: Licence Agreement
tanz:digital offers you the possibility to present your material in various formats. If you would like to make your own material available, we require a signed licence agreement that the material may be used on and through the tanz:digital platform.
In order for DTD, as the operator of the platform, to be able to show the documents and media in the platform on the internet in perpetuity, it needs the consent of those who want to present their documents and media on the platform. This consent is called a licence agreement. However, this agreement can also be revoked at any time. The licence agreement is made between the DTD as operator of the platform and the dance professionals (ensembles, archives, etc.) as licensors.
In order for the licensors to be able to conclude the agreement, they themselves must have clarified with all participants and rights holders that the corresponding documents and media may also be presented online.
In order for DTD, as the operator of the platform, to be able to include (archive) the documents and media in the platform and show them to the public, it requires formal rights, such as the following in particular, which are only mentioned here as examples. The legally agreed granting of rights can be found in detail in the licence agreement.
- the right of reproduction and distribution,
- the archiving and indexing right,
- the right of retrieval on the Internet,
- the broadcasting right.
The DTD and the licensors agree on a general licensing agreement. This agreement is made once and is valid until it is revoked or amended. The specific documents and media to which the agreement relates are recorded in the "Dokumente und Medien" list, which is part of the agreement. The list shall record all documents of the same licensor which are included in the platform, with time limits or other conditions, if any. The licensor can add documents and media, withdraw the presentation or change conditions.
The DTD aims to present the licensor's documents and media on the platform permanently, if possible, but cannot promise this to the licensor, as the DTD is also dependent on the legal and financial framework as well as the conditions of the licensor.
Please download the documents Lizenzvereinbarung (licence agreement) and Annex (list of documents and media). Fill in the required information and sign the agreement. You will need to scan or photograph the agreement first before you can upload it.
The licence agreement is currently only available in German. We are working on an English reading version. However, since German law applies, we require the German licence agreement to be signed and returned.
Please keep in mind: Only materials accompanied with a signed licence agreement can be presented on the tanz:digital platform.
