2) Future rights of use for the user

1. With the express confirmation, by electronic means, of this agreement and transmission of the communication material, the user receives the right – voluntarily granted by Zweibrüder for the relevant file and withdrawable at any time – to use the communication material downloaded from the Ledlenser Media Pool or sent by e-mail for the purposes described under paragraph (2).

4. A right for the user to transmit the communication material or the rights pertaining to it is ruled out. If the user transmits the communication material to third parties, this shall lead to the immediate withdrawal of any rights of use pertaining to it, without this requiring a separate withdrawal declaration.

3) Past rights of use for the user
