Traditional recipes, culinary processes, professional techniques, cooking methods and gastronomic know-how are not, in themselves, automatically protected by copyright.
Restaurant Services Equipment does not claim any exclusive rights over traditional recipes, common culinary knowledge, general techniques or historical texts that are in the public domain.
However, original recipe writing, commentary, historical analyses, documentary studies, technical explanations, photographs, illustrations and original editorial developments may be protected under the conditions laid down by law.
Where content draws on historical books, archives, publications or the work of third parties, the rights applicable to those sources must be respected.
Conditions for Reproduction and Reuse
Access to the website and its content does not grant any general right to reproduce, republish or commercially exploit protected material.
Unless an exception provided by law applies or prior authorisation has been obtained from the rights holder, any reproduction, representation, distribution, translation, adaptation or exploitation, in whole or in part, of protected content is prohibited.
This provision applies in particular to the substantial reproduction of editorial texts, studies, culinary reference materials, commentary, photographs, illustrations and original documents published on the website.
Republishing this content on another website, incorporating it into a book, commercial publication, paid training course or database, or exploiting it as part of a commercial activity requires the prior authorisation of the rights holder whenever legally required.
Exceptions provided by law, including those relating to quotations of limited length, remain applicable under the conditions laid down by the relevant legislation.

Requests concerning the reproduction or exploitation of protected content may be submitted to Restaurant Services Equipment using the contact details provided in the “Contact” section.
The rights of Restaurant Services Equipment are exercised within the limits established by the French Intellectual Property Code and other applicable legal provisions.
This clause shall not be interpreted as granting Restaurant Services Equipment exclusive rights over traditional recipes, general culinary techniques, common knowledge or works in the public domain.
4. Database Rights
The website may contain a database that could qualify for protection under Articles L. 341-1 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code, provided that the legal requirements are met.
Where Restaurant Services Equipment qualifies as the producer of such a database, it reserves the right to oppose unauthorised extraction or reuse of all or a substantial part of its contents, in accordance with the applicable provisions.
Repeated and systematic extraction or reuse of insubstantial parts may also be prohibited under the conditions laid down by law, particularly Article L. 342-2 of the French Intellectual Property Code.

5. Photographic Credits, Illustrations and Images Generated by Artificial Intelligence
Photographs, illustrations, visual materials and other graphic elements published on https://restaurantservices.equipment/ may originate from Restaurant Services Equipment, its partners, suppliers, image banks, service providers or other rights holders.
Some visual materials may also be created, transformed, retouched or enhanced using digital tools and generative artificial intelligence systems.
These materials are used subject to applicable rights, licences, authorisations and transparency requirements.
Where necessary, photographic credits and information identifying authors, sources or rights holders are provided alongside the relevant content or in the “Photo Credits” section.
Images Generated or Modified Using Artificial Intelligence
Restaurant Services Equipment may use generative artificial intelligence tools to create or illustrate content relating in particular to cooking, gastronomic heritage, recipes, culinary techniques, restaurant settings and the presentation of professional equipment.
These visuals may serve an illustrative, educational, documentary or promotional purpose. They are not necessarily photographs of actual scenes, prepared dishes or existing products.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, images generated by artificial intelligence should not be interpreted as proof that a dish has actually been prepared as depicted, that a piece of equipment has exactly the appearance shown, or that a represented scene corresponds to a documented historical event.
Visual reconstructions inspired by historical recipes or documents are interpretative illustrations, unless they are expressly identified as faithful reproductions of a specific, identified document or object.
Images generated or modified using artificial intelligence are not presented as authentic photographs where doing so could mislead visitors about the nature of the content or the characteristics of a product.
Product Photographs and Illustrations
Photographs and illustrations used to present equipment offered for sale are provided for informational and illustrative purposes, unless otherwise stated.
Depending on the circumstances, these may be photographs of the actual product offered for sale, photographs supplied by the manufacturer, commercial illustrations or visuals created or modified using digital tools or artificial intelligence.
Visuals may differ from the actual product being sold, particularly because of variations in configuration, finish, presentation, accessories or changes to the model.
For used, demonstration or showroom equipment, the actual condition of the product, its specifications, accessories and any signs of use must be assessed on the basis of the offer description and the information provided during the sale.
The essential characteristics of the product sold are those stated in its product description, the commercial offer and the contractual documents applicable to the order.
In the event of a discrepancy between an illustrative image and the characteristics expressly stated for the product, the expressly stated characteristics shall prevail, subject to applicable legal provisions.
Rights of Use Relating to Visual Materials
The rights attached to photographs, illustrations and other visual materials depend on their origin, author, licence and the conditions under which they were created or acquired.
The use of an artificial intelligence tool does not, by itself, guarantee that the resulting material may be freely exploited or that it is automatically protected by copyright. Any protection depends in particular on the applicable legal requirements and the characteristics of the work concerned.
Website users are not authorised to reproduce or exploit protected photographs, illustrations or other visual materials unless they hold the necessary rights or authorisations, subject to exceptions provided by law.
This section does not grant Restaurant Services Equipment any exclusive rights over materials belonging to third parties or materials that may be freely used under applicable law.
