4. Intellectual property
4.1 Protected content

The Site and its elements (photographs, videos, text, visuals, graphics, logos, editions, layout, structure and selection of content) are protected by copyright and, where applicable, by other intellectual property rights. These rights belong to the publisher or to the third parties who hold them.

4.2 Third-party rights preserved

Some content was created with photographers, videographers or other service providers, or as part of projects carried out for clients, artists, labels or brands. The rights of these persons in their creations, works, image, name and distinctive signs are preserved and remain theirs. Showing this content on the Site does not transfer any of these rights.

4.3 Prohibited uses

Except as permitted by law, you may not reproduce, display, modify, adapt, distribute, extract or exploit all or part of the Site, in any medium and for any purpose, without the prior written permission of the relevant rights holder(s). Viewing the Site grants no licence. Requests for permission should be sent to info@u-m.tv.

Any unauthorised use may constitute infringement, punishable in particular under Articles L.335-2 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code.

4.4 Artificial intelligence and automated collection

In accordance with Article L.122-5-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code, the publisher objects to any text and data mining of content in which it holds rights. This covers in particular automated scraping of content and its use to train or feed artificial intelligence systems, unless prior written permission has been given.

4.5 Name, logos and trademarks

The name « Urban Mythology » and the studio’s logo may not be used without the publisher’s prior written permission. Third-party names, trademarks and logos remain the property of their respective owners. They are cited solely to present projects and professional references. Their presence does not imply any ongoing partnership, sponsorship or endorsement of the Site, unless stated otherwise.

5. Image of individuals, credits and removal requests

The Site shows people photographed or filmed as part of artistic projects, shows, events or professional services. Their rights are preserved.

If you believe that content infringes your rights (copyright, image rights, privacy, trademark), or that a credit is missing or incorrect, write to info@u-m.tv stating:

  • your name and contact details and, if you act for a third party, your authority to do so;
  • the exact address of the page and the content concerned;
  • the rights relied on, with any useful supporting evidence;
  • the action requested (removal, modification or addition of a credit).

The publisher reviews each request as soon as possible and takes appropriate action where it is justified. Removing or modifying content is not an admission of liability. The author of an abusive or inaccurate request may be held liable.

6. Liability

The publisher takes reasonable care over the accuracy and updating of the Site, without guaranteeing that its information is accurate, complete or up to date at all times. The Site may be interrupted, in particular for maintenance, in the event of a breakdown or force majeure.

To the extent permitted by law, the publisher is not liable for:

8. Hyperlinks and third-party content

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and social networks, or embedded content from third parties. The publisher does not control these services and is not responsible for their content or practices. Their own terms and privacy policies apply.

A simple link to the Site is allowed if it is not misleading or disparaging and is not used for unlawful purposes. Embedding the Site in another website (framing) and linking directly to its image or video files are prohibited without written permission. The publisher may request the removal of any link at any time.
