6. Principles against the mining of texts and data

Pixels and Pictures Company objects to any text and data harvesting or mining operations within the meaning of Article L. 122-5-3 of the Intellectual Property Code.

This objection covers the entire Website and all the content to which it provides access

Any text and data harvesting or mining operations targeting the Website and its content, including those carried out using automated data collection tools, therefore constitute acts of infringement unless specific, formally expressed consent has been obtained from Pixels and Pictures Company. As Article R. 122-28 of the Intellectual Property Code specifies that the objection referred to in Section III of Article L. 122-5-3 may be expressed by any means, including through the terms and conditions of use or legal notices of a website or service, the absence of metadata associated with the Website, its directories or its content has no bearing on the exercise of the right to object set out in these general terms and conditions of use.
