For your intended use of historic images, we conclude the following agreement:
We point out that the Volkswagen Group archive does not have the full rights of use for the photo motifs you have requested, so you as a customer are responsible for their use under copyright law.
We agree to the one-off use of the selected historical photos free of charge for the purpose of supplying media representatives if a picture credit “Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft” is provided. All existing image rights remain with Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft.
This approval is subject to the condition that you do not manipulate these images when reproducing them.
Passing on to third parties is prohibited. If it is established that you exceed this consent granted by Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, then Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft shall be entitled to withdraw it at any time.
Finally, we would like to point out once again that Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft cannot assume any guarantee for the ownership of the full usage rights to these images. This means that recourse against Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft due to a possible claim by a third party is excluded.
