ärikasutuseks

ärikasutuseks is an Estonian term used in licensing to indicate that a work may be used for commercial purposes. It denotes permission for exploitation of the work in a way that can generate revenue, such as selling products, advertising, or other business activities. The exact scope depends on the specific license or contract, but the key distinction is between commercial use and non-commercial or personal use.

In practice, arikasutuseks appears in licenses for various types of works, including images, text, music, software, and data. When a license grants arikasutuseks, the user is generally allowed to reproduce, distribute, display, or perform the work in a commercial context, and to create derivative works or adaptations. However, the license may also impose restrictions or conditions, such as attribution, geographic limits, duration, or restrictions on sublicensing and exclusivity. Because rights are defined by the particular terms, it is important to read the full license to understand what is permitted and what is prohibited.

Differences from non-commercial use are central to many licensing schemes. Non-commercial terms prohibit commercial exploitation, while arikasutuseks authorizes it, potentially alongside other obligations. Users should verify the exact wording and consult the licensor if any part of the permission is unclear or if broader rights (such as exclusive use or wider redistribution) are needed.

In summary, arikasutuseks clarifies that a work may be used in commerce under the specified terms, and its precise scope is determined by the associated license or contract.
