ESI and SDE copyright statement for 3rd party websites

Hello,

I am very sorry to place such a basic question but I was unlucky to discover clear information on this.

Please can you kindly point me to link in esi-docs which defines what has to be declared on my 3rd-party website which uses/shows ESI or SDE data or anything that is like legal property of CCP.

There is plenty of 3rd-party websites which has it, usually at the bottom of the page and it starts with text: “EVE Online and the EVE logo are the registered trademarks of CCP hf. All rights are reserved worldwide…”
Examples of such sites:
https://harvest.poisonreverse.net/
https://eveterminal.io/
https://evetycoon.com/
Some of the sites have full statement at the bottom on every page, some have only one sentence with link to full statement on other link.

I am interested where exactly it is defined WHAT and HOW it has to be displayed on the website, so if I deploy my website I do not break any rules/rights etc. I could not find it in docs, could not google it, technical support did not understand my question and could not help me.

I dont think it is mentioned here (or me must be blind):
https://developers.eveonline.com/license-agreement
https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/sections/8413327523612-EULA-ToS-Policies

I don’t think it’s stated anywhere that you need to have that on your site.

But, CCP owns everything in SDE and image server, so clearly stating that you do not own the images/data/etc. on your site is likely a good idea.

I could be wrong and I’m not a lawyer o7

EDIT:
There is no chance CCP will reply to this thread, as it’s a legal issue.
You could try making a eve ticket, as that is the would be only way to get an official response.

this was in the license agreement… of course instead of 2014 you would use 2024
