Sub-Licence Agreements

What does the Sub-Licence cover?

As a site representative, you must familiarise yourself with the Licence Agreements for each Digimap Collection to which you subscribe.

Each Sub-Licence is different.

• Definitions of terms used
• Grant and scope of licence, including:
• Permitted activities
• Obligations and restrictions
• Ownership and acknowledgement of Intellectual Property Rights
• Fee and payment terms
• Security requirements
• List of all map data covered by the Sub-Licence

How does the Ordnance Survey Collection differ?

Only the Ordnance Survey Collection has a separate End User Licence Agreement (EULA).

Every user agrees to the EULA whenever they access the Ordnance Survey Collection - see image below:
