This includes Works written by the Members in connection with a competition organized by Elibro.
The right of disposal as stated above applies exclusively to Orwest for a period of three years from the conclusion of the agreement. After the period of three years of exclusive right of disposal, the author has the right to dispose of and make his own transfers and transfers in and out of the work.

Orwest uses personal information in the form of names, social security numbers, addresses and personal information for the purpose of administering the Website. In connection with the registration of membership, the member/author is requested to approve/consent for the processing of its personal data.

For those under the age of 18, Orwest needs your guardians consent that you use the Service and that you submit your personal information to Orwest. Asking for consent means that Orwest needs your and your guardian's clear, voluntary, informed and unambiguous approval for processing the specific personal data for this particular purpose.
Communication to users in the form of messages and offers may also occur with consent as the legal basis for the processing. When registering, it is possible to voluntarily fill in a code in order to be able to receive targeted offers with the consent and the guardians consent as a legal basis.
