The PAUSE content (website, social media, newsletter, tools, presentations, etc.) is the intellectual property of Capsana. This content was developed with the support of funders, including the Government of Quebec, and in collaboration with a committee of experts, professionals and organizations.
In an effort to reach more people with awareness messages related to positive screen use, Capsana authorizes the use of PAUSE content under certain conditions. Here are the conditions and requirements:
Permissions
- The PAUSE content (including graphic and audiovisual elements) cannot be reproduced on another site (including an Intranet for a community), even if only excerpts are used and the source is cited (copying content is bad practice and detected as plagiarism by search engines).
- Pages from the PAUSE website may be shared through clickable links on a website and PAUSE Facebook posts leading to the content may also be shared.
- PAUSE content may be rewritten after obtaining prior written permission from Capsana and subject to approval of the adaptation before posting on a website.
- The PAUSE content (including visual elements) can be used as is (in part or in sections) and without modification in a PDF tool (and not on a web page) upon agreement with Capsana. Every integration of PAUSE content into a tool must be validated by Capsana. Sources and creators must be clearly identified (wording to be determined with Capsana).
- In some cases, upon agreement with Capsana, a PAUSE tool may be integrated into a website provided that it is clearly presented (outside a PDF) as a PAUSE tool (with a clickable link to the PAUSE website and with the logo if possible). Before the tool is shared on the website, Capsana must approve the integration of its tool and validate the visibility given to PAUSE.
Prohibitions
- The layout of the PAUSE PDF tools must remain as is, with no modifications or adaptations. The copyright protects the tools’ intellectual property (text and images). Under no circumstances can a tool’s content be used in a layout produced by someone other than Capsana.
- It is prohibited to use the PAUSE brand, logos (basic logo as well as 24h logos) and content, in whole or in part, for commercial, lucrative or advertising purposes.
Any use that does not comply with PAUSE’s content terms of use is strictly prohibited under penalty of prosecution.
