Copyright

Copyright and our licensing to you
Unless otherwise indicated, any copyright in material on the Site is owned by the Lead Agency or its licensors. The scope of our licence to you for you to copy and use such material depends on the range of data to which you have authenticated access and the category of data you wish to use.
The two broad categories of data that the Site displays are:

• forward works data; and
• network data (i.e., data showing, for example, the location of cables, piping, routers, mobile repeaters and the like).

Only a controlled subset of registered users are able to view the network data.  Access depends on agreements between the Lead Agency and the network data providers.

Using Forward Works data
If your authenticated access includes the ability to view visualisations of network data, your rights are limited to:

• viewing those visualisations on this Site;
• taking isolated screenshots of areas that are limited to your specific work(s) or, in the case of authorised agencies and organisations, limited to areas that are relevant to the agency or organisation's planning activity;
• noting any implications that the location of a specific network element may have on your or related works; and
• discussing such implications with the relevant network provider(s) and organisations or others involved with your or related works.

Except as expressly permitted above, you are not permitted to use the visualisations of network data for any other purpose (including copying network visualisations of entire or substantial parts of wide areas, using the visualisations to develop your own geospatial dataset of network locations, using the visualisations for commercially competitive purposes or publishing the visualisations in any form) without our written consent or the written consent of the relevant network provider(s). We will not grant such consent without obtaining consent from the relevant network provider(s).
You agree that:

• the network data and visualisations of those data are confidential;
• any unauthorised use or disclosure of them is strictly prohibited;
• damages would not be a sufficient remedy in the event of wrongful use or disclosure (for reasons of public health and safety and commercial sensitivity); and
• we or the relevant network providers may seek urgent interlocutory relief to protect the data and visualisations in the event of unauthorised use or disclosure.

Licence limitations
The licences above do not apply to the Site's design elements or to any government or other organisations' emblems or logos. These elements, emblems and logos may not be reproduced without our written consent.
If the licences above do not cater for your needs and you would like to speak to someone about obtaining a broader licence to re-use content on this Site, please contact support@forwardworks.co.nz.

Your license to us for contributions to the Site
Forward works data
Except for personal information not visible on the Site (which is covered under the privacy policy), any forward works data you provide to the Lead Agency for posting on the Site, or that you post to the Site directly, will be considered non-confidential. To the extent there is any copyright in these data sets or their compilation, you grant the Lead Agency a non-exclusive, royalty-free and irrevocable licence to:

• publish such data on this Site and on a public version of a forward works viewer, in hard copy publications, in email notifications and alerts and in web feeds; and
• sub-license such data for copying and re-use by others involved in infrastructure activities that have authenticated access to this Site to enable them to better understand, accommodate and plan for works across their region, as set out above (under "Using forward works data").

This licence survives termination or expiry of these terms of use for any reason.

Network Data
To the extent that you provide network data to us for visualisations on the Site, you grant the Lead Agency a limited licence to:

• publish such data on this Site and on a public version of a forward works viewer, in hard copy publications, in email notifications and alerts and in web feeds; and
• sub-license such data for copying and re-use by others involved in infrastructure activities that have authenticated access to this Site to enable them to better understand, accommodate and plan for works across their region, as set out above (under "Using forward works data").
