Permission to re-use free of charge In a limited number of circumstances we do allow the re-use of certain data free of charge. Please refer to our published policy on re-use. Commercial re-use of information We allow most people, subject to a charge and certain other terms and conditions, a non-exclusive non-transferable licence to re-use our information for internal and commercial business use. A smaller range of our information is available for commercial business use and separate terms and conditions apply. Where Ordinance survey has intellectual property rights in our data we can currently only allow internal business use of those data due to our licensing arrangements with Ordinance Survey. Exceptions We may refuse certain people who apply if they: - have previously copied intellectual property owned or managed by the Crown without permission and this was not settled with us (or another part of the UK Government); or
- do not have enough credit worthiness (according to our check with a credit reference agency) to pay any licence fees and they are not willing to offer another method of payment (for example, a bank guarantee, payment in advance, and so on).
We may refuse to allow you to reproduce material that: - relates to an identified or identifiable person and they have not given their permission for it to be re-used (such as where the Data Protection Act does not allow it); or
- is protected by the rights of another organisation and that organisation has not given its permission.
