Terms of use
Version of 5 October 2026.
1. Purpose
These terms govern the use of the histoire-et-art.com website, its data and, for registered users, their account. Using the site constitutes acceptance of these terms.
2. Database and modelling
The whole formed by the registers, the KODO codes, the navigations, the dating systems, the correspondences, the 3D models and their organisation constitutes a database of which Guillaume Lemaitre is the producer. It is protected by Articles L341-1 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code (Directive 96/9/EC). The structure and the original texts are also protected by copyright.
The following are prohibited without written permission: extracting or reusing all or a substantial part of the content, and the repeated and systematic extraction of insubstantial parts.
3. Permitted use
Personal consultation; short quotation with mention of the source and a link to the quoted page.
4. Data licence
Unless otherwise stated, the original content of the site (texts, entries, selection and organisation of the data, original layouts and illustrations) is protected: all rights reserved.
Third-party data displayed on the site (reliefs, base maps, historical sources) remain subject to their original licence, indicated in the credits.
5. Automated collection
Search engine indexing robots are allowed according to the robots.txt file. Histoire et Art opts out of text and data mining of this site, including for training or feeding artificial intelligence systems, within the meaning of Article L.122-5-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code and Article 4 of Directive (EU) 2019/790, without prejudice to the exceptions for scientific research. This opt-out is expressed by machine-readable means (/.well-known/tdmrep.json, tdm-reservation header, robots.txt). Any other automated collection is subject to the site's rate limits and may lead to blocking. A licence may be requested at contact@histoire-et-art.com.
6. Account
Registration requires a valid e-mail address, confirmed by a link. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. The publisher may suspend an account used in breach of these terms or to harm the site. Online account deletion is not yet available; it can be requested at contact@histoire-et-art.com.
7. Subscriptions
The site currently offers no paid service. The terms of sale (offers, prices, duration, termination, right of withdrawal, consumer mediator) will be published here before any paid offer opens.
8. Liability
The content consists of educational and approximate representations; the publisher strives to cite its sources and to indicate the degree of certainty of each reconstruction, without guaranteeing that it is free of errors. The site may be interrupted for maintenance.
9. Applicable law
French law, subject to the mandatory protective provisions that the user enjoys in their country of residence. Disputes fall within the jurisdiction of the competent courts under the applicable rules. In the event of a discrepancy between language versions, the French version prevails.
