Provisional version: this document is under legal review. It honestly describes how the service works today but is not yet a final contractual version.
This English version is provided for convenience. In case of discrepancy, the French version prevails.
Referencing
A resource appears on the marketplace when:
- it was submitted from the creator workspace with a rights declaration;
- its version was reviewed and accepted by the CuriaVia team;
- it has not been withdrawn by its creator or suspended.
A resource may be delisted after a well-founded report, a breach of the creator terms or at its creator’s request.
Default ranking
For a search, results are ranked deterministically:
- resources containing all the search terms;
- then by text relevance (title, description, content);
- then by number of published reviews;
- then from the most recent to the oldest publication.
You can also sort by publication date, average rating or price.
No paid ranking
No placement is paid. Creators cannot buy a better position, and there are no sponsored results. The commercial relationship between a creator and CuriaVia (activation, commission) does not influence ranking.
If paid promotion were ever introduced, it would be clearly labelled as such and this page would be updated before it is activated.
CuriaVia resources
CuriaVia also publishes its own resources. They are identified as such and ranked with the same criteria as the others.
Editorial selections
The marketplace home page shows selections chosen manually by the CuriaVia team (featured resources, collections). They are distinct from search results, which follow the criteria above.
Reviews
Reviews are published by families who obtained the resource. A rating is shown only when reviews exist.
