Intellectual Property Rights in Content

Archivo Hildegart is the owner of the compilation of content that is posted on kyrakietrys.com/Hildegart or hildegart.org. However, Archivo Hildegart does not necessarily own each component of the compilation. The Content that Archivo Hildegart makes available on the kyrakietrys.com/Hildegart or hildegart.org website may be owned by the Archivo Hildegart, owned by others and used with their permission (such as user-generated content), or used in accordance with applicable law. Some Content is in the public domain and some Content is protected by third party rights, such as copyright, trademark, rights of publicity, privacy, and contractual restrictions.

Archivo Hildegart is identified as having “no known copyright restrictions” when Archivo Hildegart is unaware of any copyright restrictions on its use. This may mean that: (1) a copyright existed at one time but was not renewed, or the copyright may have expired, or the owner may have intentionally placed the Content into the public domain; or (2) the Content was never eligible for copyright protection because it was created by an employee of the United States as part of his or her official duties, or (3) there are no copyright markings or other indications on the Content to indicate that it was copyrighted or otherwise restricted; or (4) Archivo Hildegart records do not indicate any evidence of copyright restrictions. These facts do not necessarily mean that the Content is in the public domain, but rather indicate that no evidence has been found to show that copyright restrictions apply.

Archivo Hildegart endeavors to provide information that it possesses about the copyright status of the Content and to identify any other terms and conditions that may apply to use of the Content (such as trademark, rights of privacy or publicity, donor restrictions, etc.); however, Archivo Hildegart can offer no guarantee or assurance that all pertinent information is provided or that the information is correct in each circumstance. It is your responsibility to determine what permission(s) you need in order to use the Content and, if necessary, to obtain such permission.
