Vatican Museum is an attraction where mostly local suppliers/vendors upload the content and we have developed our in-house rules in order to prevent any misalignment of interests between the former and the later. Thereby also attempting to ensure that no material which is inconsistent with our terms and conditions set forth herein is present on the website, or in any physical form with the branding of Vatican Museum.

1. Upload only 100% unique content. The content should not be copied from any other website or any digital or physical source of information. If you have same the itinerary on your own website(in cases where required, you will have to provide substantial proof* of being the owner) we would suggest that you rewrite the content which will be different in structure but the same as the meaning you are trying to derive. In such a case, we may be able to assist you with content writers to undergo the task of rewriting the content.
2. The experience/tour needs to be conducted by you and not by any other party. You should have full rights of any information displayed on the Vatican Museum tickets website by you. The experience/tour cannot be outsourced by you to any other third party. Hence by uploading an experience/tour onto our website, you agree to being the party which conducts the experience/tour in it’s entirety**.
3. The uploader must own full rights to any media uploaded by him/her. All media including videos/pictures/slides/marketing material etc need to be owned by you/your company and Vatican Museum holds the right to use it from there onwards without the requirement for attribution of credits.
4. As per Rule 3, you should have sole and entire copyright for any form of information*** uploaded by you. Please do not upload anything which does not belong to you or your company and for which you do not have sole ownership. We prohibit you to use anything under Creative Commons license. If any violation of this rule takes place, indicated to us by either the company officials or the general public or the owner of the material itself, the infringing experience/tour will be immediately removed from the website and you will be held responsible for any kind of infringement be it image/video/content or anything else. This will also result in the removal of all experiences/tours uploaded by you onto our website and will end in a permanent ban from being a supplier for Vatican Museum.
5. Mismatch in the media and content uploaded is a bannable offense. If the images of the experience/tour and the content describing it do not match or are seen to be intentionally depicting incorrect information in order to misinform the viewer of the content, the experience/tour will be removed and the supplier will be banned.
6. In case of any true claims the company will pass on your details to the copyright claimer. This is subject to Vatican Museum's decision on that matter after its analysis of that issue.
7. If a supplier reports any copyright violation, appropriate actions will be taken within three business days.
8. By submitting listing on the website, you are consenting to its display in the marketplace, and/or on any of the other company websites. You are also consenting to its use for promotional purposes by the company.
9. Also please note that the textual content uploaded by you on the Vatican Museum tickets website should not be loaded/copied anywhere on any other website for 6 months after the tour is active on the website. We do not restrict you to use any other marketplace or website but the content should not be duplicated on other websites for at least 6 months.
10. By uploading or providing details of any tour/activity conducted by you/your company you take the entire responsibility of any copyright infringement issues pertaining to that tour/activity. We do a few random checks at our end but the final responsibility will be yours on all the materials provided.

1) In case of any copyright infringement, please send us an email detailing as to which experience/tour is in violation of copyrights and specifically what content on that page violates the copyright. Along with this, it is required that you submit proof of your copyright claim which should include proof that shows you to be the owner of the violating material.

2) In case of any reported copyright infringement, the copyright claim including all the related details will be sent to the vendor. Our team will then do a follow-up with the vendor on this which may take upto seven business days and may be extended to fourteen days. If the vendor does not reply within this time period, it will be assumed that the claimant’s claim is valid and on the seventh day, the experience/tour will be removed from our website. In case the vendor’s reply is inconclusive and he/she is unable to provide proper proof as to his/her ownership of the material under question, it will be deemed to be a violation of copyright laws and the entire experience/tour including the infringing material will be removed and the vendor will be banned from Vatican Museum . After this, the claimant will be connected with the vendor to take the legal issue forward.

3) To enable us to address your concerns, please provide the following information:

• For each allegedly infringing image or piece of content that you wish to have removed from our website, provide the exact permanent URL for the page containing the material and details of which is the infringing piece of content.
