OPUS — Copyright & permitted use
This notice explains how copyright and related rights apply to authenticated non-fungible digital art editions published on OPUS (the service). It is a general draft pending legal review and should be read together with each artwork page and the terms of use.
1. Who holds copyright
- Copyright and related rights in each original digital artwork shown on the service generally remain with the artist.
- OPUS and its operator provide content under licences granted for platform display, authentication, and records (including The Chronicle), as agreed in contract.
2. Permitted personal use (general guidance)
The following describes typical expectations; conditions set for a specific edition or artwork may override this summary.
- Personal appreciation and custody of an edition you lawfully acquired, including private viewing. High-fidelity viewing is intended through authenticated smartphone and tablet mobile web; print output and use aimed at large external monitors, TVs, or similar displays are not within the service’s intended scope.
- In-product features OPUS provides (for example authenticated mobile web high-fidelity tiled viewing, sharing UI where explicitly allowed).
3. Prohibited conduct (examples)
The following may infringe copyright and breach the terms of use:
- Copying, distribution, or public communication without permission (including posting or transmitting outside the service).
- Commercial exploitation without a separate licence from the artist or operator (derivative goods, paid distribution on other platforms, and similar).
- Circumventing technical protection measures or misrepresenting edition or provenance information.
Distributed-ledger technology used for editions is a technical means to evidence authenticity and lineage; it does not by itself broaden or waive the rights described above.
4. Contact & updates
- For takedown requests or licensing questions, contact admin@opus-store.com.
- This notice may be updated as policies and contracts change.
