Germerika and Hecker, their names, background story, symbols and other
designs (for example clothes or maps), the term “U.S. German Shepherd
Service”, as well as all articles of germerika.net and the design of this
website are protected by law and international
treaties, as personal intellectual property.
For the Germerika logo all rights are reserved.
§ 2
Germerika
and Hecker serve cultural and educational goals. In this context individuals
as well as clubs, public institutions (for example schools, 911-services or
military units) are very welcome to show Germerika und Hecker and help them to serve as personifications, as long as the paragraphs here or the general
principles of the Germerika Project (see the golden bar below) are not
being violated in the same context. Apart from that Germerika und Hecker are
also created for children and youngsters, who require special protection. In the military context they may be shown on vehicles or
airplanes, but not on weapons (for example bombs). Generally they may only be
shown in contexts of respect for Germerika and Hecker, the
Germerika-Project, the German-Americans, the unity of the German people (see
our chapter “Identity”) and the United States of America. The rights
mentioned in § 1 would be violated by any creation of new products (for
example t-shirts, banners, pins etc.), even without commercial motivation.
Single
publications/ introductions of Germerika and Hecker in the media can of
course be a great help for them to achieve their goals. Repeating
publications would however not be legitimate without licence! The general
Principles of the Germerika Project have to be respected here as well!
§ 3
To
ensure these principles, exclusively the copyright owner is legitimated to
create depictions of Germerika and Hecker as well as of the above mentioned
other designs. Things like usual pictures of children are of course excepted.
Germerika and Hecker love it, to explore new worlds through the creativity of
children!
§ 4
Germerika
and Hecker are Americans! Institutions of
States that are not a part of the USA are generally not allowed to show them.
§ 5
The
use of Germerika and Hecker as well as of the above mentioned other designs
for any unlicensed commercial
purposes is strictly prohibited!
According licenses can not be given by partner organizations, but exclusively
