Terms of Use of the content and Dattalion reservations

The majority of the footage is prepared by witnesses or those directly affected by events, not by professional journalists, photographers, or videographers. Some images and videos may be of low or poor quality: this is often due to the means used for recording (usually a smartphone camera), connectivity issues, and operating conditions extremely dangerous for life and personal security.

Collection process is complicated by war conditions and consequential variety and questionable credibility of the sources of related information. Wherever possible, we verify and make clear the source through which we received the material or on which it was published. The database includes some material from private accounts on social networks, where videos and photos are often published without attribution, and from Telegram channels, where third-party videos are published without credentials or references.

Please note that the database contains two types of content.

For the first type of content we could not find and record a reliable source. Majority of the content dated up to 11 April 2022 is from this category. The content of the first type is included to the database purely for informational purposes. You have no rights or consents to reproduce, disseminate or communicate to the public content without attribution  etc. You must comply with all requirements mentioned below if you wish to use such content.

The second type of content (majority of it dated after 11 April 2022) is attributed with one or more sources. Along the content file itself it contains a separate data file with source reference which we have managed to identify.

The reproduction and communication to the public of a videogram can be undertaken without the rightsholder’s permission under Article 21 and for education or scientific purposes under Article 42 of the Law of Ukraine “On Copyright and Related Rights.” Art. 21 of the Law allows to use with attribution of the author and source (1) quotes from the published works within the scope justified by purpose (work to which the quote to be included has to be of critical, controversial, scientific, or informational nature) or (2) short fragments from performances and works included to videogram.

If you wish to use such content as quote (based on Art. 10 of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works) you must comply with strict rules: 1) attribute the author and source and 2) reproduce only a fragment scope of which is justified by the purpose of reproduction, and 3) use for critical, polemic, scientific or informational types of your works.
