In this article is explained the framework of the user licence and particularly, what it says for commercial services and professional use.

The Climate Fresk tool can be used in a commercial and professional context.

According to a licence agreement dated 10 July 2019 extended by amendment on 13 November 2023, the Author has granted the association “La Fresque du Climat” the exclusive rights to use the French trademark “La Fresque du Climat” and the game “La Fresque du climat”.

As a result, the association may define the conditions of use of La Fresque du Climat and collect the royalties for commercial use or use within an organisation.

 

The use of the “Climate Fresk” workshop in a professional setting (excluding opportunities subcontracted with the association) can be done in three different ways:

  • Autonomous prospection

  • Via the association (opporunities dealt as “Business Contribution”)

  • As an employee trained within your organisation (also called an “internal facilitator”)

 

Note that the licence strictly prohibits the modification of the cards without the agreement of the author.

More information on the licence here.

 

Autonomous prospection: I invoiced a service including Climate Fresk tools (workshop/training/etc.)

Each Fresker is free to prospect on their own and offer Climate Fresk workshops independently of the association, by going directly to organisations.

No prerequisite is set by the association to facilitate (we recommend you to have a strong experience as a volunteer facilitator - if you wish to offer trainings, you will have to be a green belt at minimum).

It is not mandatory although highly recommended to be trained with the 7-hour professional training to start offering your services in a professional context. If you only followed the 3-hour training, you can check the materials for the 7-hour training in the resources of the pro page.

You will have to declare the 10% usage fee (excluding tax) on the turnover (excluding tax) generated by using the tool.

Business Contribution via the association: I invoiced a service, integrating Climate Fresk tools (workshop/training/etc.)

The association receives incoming requests from organisations and allocates them to freskers as either Subcontractors or Business Contributions (to find out more, read this article).

When opportunities are dealt as Business Contribution, incoming requests from organisations are sent directly to the professional fresker community via the facilitator space (“Pros” tab, “Pending Opportunities” section). In this case, the association did not have prior contact with the prospects; the person who gets the lead is in charge of managing the business relationship and reaching out directly to the prospect.

You will have to declare the 10% usage fee (excluding tax) on the turnover (excluding tax) generated by using the tool. To this, you will have to add business contribution fees, for you were introduced to the lead via the incoming requests of the association. The amount of this fee will also be 10% excluding tax on turnover (excluding tax).

 

 

 

As an employee of an organisation*: I have facilitated/trained during my working time (internally or externally)

Once you have been trained as a facilitator within your organisation, you are free to facilitate workshops to your co-workers (especially if Climate Fresk is rolled-out in your organisation): there are no prerequisite (we nevertheless strongly recommend you to facilitate beforehand and/or have a mentor to support you while you facilitate for the first time ) .

Your organisation will have to declare usage fees : 3€ excluding tax (€3.60 including tax) per participant.

*except if you facilitated within an educational institution or for the general public
