If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential. You must not disclose it to any third party.

We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms of use.

If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your user identification code or password, you must promptly notify us at legal@creationrights.com.

The Platform and Services

The Platform provides the following services for all creative industries:

  • CR Studio — Campaign workflow management, production coordination, deliverable tracking, and approval workflows.
  • CR Agents — AI-powered governance agents providing automated compliance checking, Transaction Clearance, metadata validation, and CARI Score assessment. When you interact with a CR Agent, you are communicating with an automated system, not a human representative.
  • CR Base — Content provenance infrastructure, metadata management, rights chain tracking, C2PA provenance manifests, and digital asset management.
  • CR Talent — Talent identity clearance including NILP® protection, performer's rights management (CDPA ss.182–205), biometric consent workflows, and identity rights licensing infrastructure.
  • Transaction Processing — Modular agreement template generation, Order Form assembly, clickwrap acceptance, Stripe payment processing, payout gate management, and transfer/audit record creation.

The Platform is not an escrow agent, bank, tax adviser, legal adviser, talent agency, employment agency, or insurance provider. No transaction creates a security, investment opportunity, or fan ownership interest.

User Roles

Users accept Role-Specific Terms based on how they use the Platform:

  • Creator / Contributor — originality warranty; copyright ownership (CDPA s.11); moral rights (ss.77, 80, 84, 85); performer's rights (ss.182–205); equitable remuneration (s.182D).
  • Representative / Agent — valid written authority; fiduciary duties; no sub-licensing without consent.
  • Brand / Client — Permitted Use per Order Form; biometric consent (UK GDPR Art.9); ASA CAP Code compliance.
  • Agency / Producer / Studio — CDPA first ownership rules (s.11(1)/(2)); Equity/BECTU/MU agreements; sync/broadcast clearance.
  • API / Agent User — database extraction right (SI 1997/3032); computer-generated works (CDPA s.9(3)).

Third-party websites, integrations, and processors

The site and services may link to or integrate with third-party services, payment processors, storage providers, identity/KYC providers, analytics providers, AI providers, collaboration tools, and other vendors. We are not responsible for third-party terms, availability, accuracy, security, or processing except as required by law or expressly stated in our agreements.

Metadata, rights classification, and decision-support tools

A metadata code is not a legal clearance certificate. Metadata codes, clause references, sector classifications, asset classifications, rights classifications, risk indicators, risk scores, consent flags, payout gates, usage rules, expiry indicators, renewal triggers, publishing checks, and audit references are operational and decision-support tools only. They do not constitute legal advice, tax advice, rights verification, ownership verification, clearance confirmation, compliance certification, valuation advice, or a guarantee that any creative asset, use, transaction, licence, payout, publication, campaign, AI output, synthetic media asset, or cross-sector asset is lawful, cleared, enforceable, payable, publishable, or commercially suitable.

NILP-style identity rights, performer rights, and UK rights considerations

Creation Rights may support workflows involving a person's name, image, likeness, persona, voice, signature, performance, digital replica, avatar, identity attributes, or similar identity-related rights.

The UK does not have a statutory right of publicity. NILP protection arises through passing off, UK GDPR (Arts.6, 9), DPA 2018, common law privacy, ASA CAP Code, and CDPA performer's rights.

Relevant issues may include passing off, privacy, data protection, confidentiality, performer rights, moral rights, copyright, advertising rules, consumer protection, contract, and other rights. Users remain responsible for obtaining all required consents, releases, approvals, licences, waivers, and permissions.

AI and synthetic media features

AI-generated content, AI-assisted editing, synthetic likeness, voice cloning, digital replica, avatar generation, persona simulation, model training, fine-tuning, prompt reuse, agent-generated output, and AI metadata extraction require express terms where triggered. General account use, upload, or website access does not authorise AI training or synthetic identity use unless expressly approved in an applicable transaction document or consent flow.

How you may use material on our site

We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our site, and in the material published on it. Those works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved.

You may print off one copy, and may download extracts, of any page(s) from our site for your personal use and you may draw the attention of others within your organisation to content posted on our site.

You must not modify the paper or digital copies of any materials you have printed off or downloaded in any way, and you must not use any illustrations, photographs, video or audio sequences or any graphics separately from any accompanying text.

Our status (and that of any identified contributors) as the authors of content on our site must always be acknowledged (except where the content is user-generated).

You must not use any part of the content on our site for commercial purposes without obtaining a licence to do so from us or our licensors.

If you print off, copy, download, share or repost any part of our site in breach of these terms of use, your right to use our site will cease immediately and you must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the materials you have made.

No text or data mining, or web scraping, or unauthorised AI training

You must not conduct, facilitate, authorise, or permit text or data mining, scraping, crawling, harvesting, automated extraction, model training, dataset creation, prompt harvesting, reverse engineering, or other unauthorised copying or analysis of our site, services, metadata structures, templates, clauses, code, creative assets, user data, or platform materials. This is an express reservation of rights to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, including for purposes of UK and retained EU copyright rules. This includes using (or permitting, authorising or attempting the use of):

  • Any "robot", "bot", "spider", "scraper" or other automated device, program, tool, algorithm, code, process or methodology to access, obtain, copy, monitor or republish any portion of the site or any data, content, information or services accessed via the same.
  • Any automated analytical technique aimed at analysing text and data in digital form to generate information which includes but is not limited to patterns, trends and correlations.

The provisions in this clause should be treated as an express reservation of our rights in this regard, including for the purposes of Article 4(3) of Digital Copyright Directive ((EU) 2019/790).

This clause shall not apply insofar as (but only to the extent that) we are unable to exclude or limit text or data mining or web scraping activity by contract under the laws which are applicable to us.

AI-Generated Content

Under CDPA s.9(3), the person making arrangements for a computer-generated work is treated as author. EU AI Act Art.50/53 transparency obligations apply. The Platform makes no warranty regarding copyright subsistence in AI outputs. CR Agents are AI-powered systems.

Platform role and no professional advice

Creation Rights provides software, workflow, asset-management, rights-recording, metadata, clause-code, consent, approval, transaction-support, audit, and payout-instruction tools for creative industry workflows. Creation Rights does not provide legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, valuation, insurance, regulatory, employment, union, talent agency, collective management, payment institution, escrow, banking, trustee, fiduciary, or money transmission services.

Do not rely on information on our site.

The content on our site and in our product workflows is provided for general operational information only and is not legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, regulatory, or professional advice. You must obtain professional advice before acting on information that may affect legal rights, payments, tax, publication, or compliance.

Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our site, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our site is accurate, complete or up to date.

We are not responsible for websites we link to

Where our site contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. Such links should not be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them.

This website may include information and materials uploaded by other users of the site, including to social media pages, video-sharing sites, bulletin boards and chat rooms.

Private creative asset uploads and operational licence

Users retain ownership of creative assets, uploads, deal materials, source files, prompts, metadata, likeness materials, voice materials, and other user materials, subject to rights granted in an applicable order form, licence schedule, transaction document, or separate agreement. By uploading or submitting materials, you grant Creation Rights a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable where technically and legally feasible, worldwide licence to host, store, copy, process, display, transmit, classify, version, secure, audit, generate metadata for, and otherwise use those materials only as needed to operate the services, provide requested platform features, support approved transactions, maintain records, comply with law, and enforce the terms. This operational licence does not grant Creation Rights the right to sell your private creative assets, train foundation models on your private assets, use your NILP or biometric data for advertising, or grant third parties commercial usage rights unless you expressly approve that use in a separate transaction document.
