to Asker: thank you ; yes, "quiet use **and** enjoyment" sounds fine also (even though, from a strictly legal viewpoint, this wording may be more relevant for rights on tangible goods than for intellectual property rights - main Google hits for this wording actually refer to premisses...).

Notes to answerer
Asker: except that there's not one Google hit for this expression...

Asker: Free fruition maybe, althouth it has only 528 hits and most seem to be in a historical context, and peaceful fruition does not seem very common at all in a legal context...


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Donald Scott Alexander: The word "fruition" in English is rarely used except in the idiom "to come to fruition" (= "to bear fruit [figuratively]"). Maybe you were thinking of "usufruct"?

Asker: Yes, I like freedom of use, but in this context I think it's probably a clause, and not a warranty

GARANTIE DE JOUISSANCE LIBRE ET PAISIBLE
release


Explanation:
une idée

comme en italien j'aurais traduit par "liberatoria"
j'ai cherché le mot en italien sur google et j'ai trouvée ceci:

Quando le fotografie di persone non sono scattate per uso personale ma vengono utilizzate per essere pubblicate in concorsi, mostre, pubblicazioni, internet o per qualsivoglia altro uso pubblico, è necessario che il fotografo si faccia rilasciare una LIBERATORIA detta anche release in inglese.

j'espère tu puisses comprendre un peu l'italien. Je n'ai pas fait attention à tes langues. excuses moi.

neutral  Aude Sylvain: Il me semble que "release" (décharge) et "garantie de jouissance libre et paisible" (le cédant protège le cessionnaire des éventuelles revendications de tiers quant aux droits cédés) sont deux choses différentes (voire opposées selon signataire décharge).
1 hr
  -> je comprends ton point de vue mais s'agissant d'un titre, je metterais *release use/release conditions* car le terme release dans ce contexte sous entends déjà la guarantie d'une utilisation libre etc.

neutral  Aude Sylvain: Hello, this would mean that there is no right likely to be opposed to anyone; here rights still exist but are transferred, as far as their use is concerned, to another party (who will be entitled to challenge a third party's use of such rights, then).

(photo/goods) warranty of unfettered & peaceful possession; (land) covenant for quiet enjoyment


Explanation:
It IS a warranty is sale of goods and covenant for land, despite Google hits totally mixing up the two e.g. in a leasing context.









Example sentence(s):
  • Every natural or legal person is entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of ..... Cyberspace where there will be complete and unrestricted freedom of expression. ...
  • obligation, failure to perform any obligation, breach of any warranty or ... possession of the collateral, it is best to obtain a peaceful possession agree- ...
