Internal Business Use
2.1
Internal Business Use is defined as the use of Ordnance Survey Data in the ordinary
day-to-day activities involved in the internal administration and running of the
Customer’s business or organisation.
2.2
Such use of Ordnance Survey Data is
only permitted in the following circumstances:
2.2.1
solely and explicitly for the administration and operation of the
Customer’s business or organisation (which excludes its supply to any
third party unless expressly permitted in this Schedule);
2.2.2
in reports and submissions to third parties (where such activities relate to
the internal administration and running of the Customer’s business or
organisation and the Customer shall advise such third parties that such
Ordnance Survey Data shall not be used for any other purpose),
provided such reports and submissions do not carry paid for advertising
in respect of third parties. Such use shall include electronic transmission
of a graphic image that is a raster data file produced solely for the
purposes of allowing such third party to view and print one copy;
2.2.3
by the Customer’s contractors and agents when undertaking any activity
for the Customer which the Customer is permitted to undertake itself
under this Schedule but solely and explicitly to provide the
Ordnance Survey Data for the purpose of enabling them to provide
goods or services to the Customer or to tender for the provision of such
goods or services. The Customer must require such contractor or agent
to sign a contractor licence with the Customer in the form of the
Contractor Licence. The Customer must enforce the provision in such
Contractor Licence which requires the contractor or agent to erase all
copies of Ordnance Survey Data on or before termination of such
Contractor Licence. This must include those held in paper based or any
electronic format, provided that the Customer may permit such
contractor or agent to retain one paper-based archive copy of
Ordnance Survey Data which is relevant and necessary to document the
goods or services delivered to the Customer;
2.2.4
where Ordnance Survey Data are available on an internal network or on
a remotely accessible server operated by an electronic hosting service,
the Customer must either take steps itself or enter into a written
agreement in relation to the facilities provided by the electronic hosting
service to provide for appropriate industry standard safeguards
restricting third party access to any data of the Customer’s which include
or incorporate any Ordnance Survey Data;
2.2.5
within any professional services provided by the Customer to its clients,
provided that:
a)
the provision of Ordnance Survey Data is not a service in itself and
does not form a significant part of any service offered by the
Customer;
b)
Ordnance Survey Data may be provided only in paper for or by
electronic transmission of a graphic image that is a raster file
produced solely for the purposes of allowing the recipient to view
and print one copy;
Page 2
c)
only such amounts of Ordnance Survey Data may be used as are
necessary to meet the specific need for which they are used; and
d)
the use to which such clients shall put the Ordnance Survey Data
shall be personal (in the case of a consumer client) or for the
administration and operation of its business (in the case of a
business client);
the rights referred to in this Section 2.2.5 shall not apply where the
Customer is an Excluded Body.
2.3
For the avoidance of doubt the permission of Ordnance Survey for such supply of
Ordnance Survey Data to third parties as specified in Section 2.2.3 above is given
on the basis that the Customer remains responsible and primarily liable to
Ordnance Survey for the acts and omissions of such contractors and agents.
2.4
Such use does
not extend to use of the Ordnance Survey Data:
2.4.1
by any associated undertaking of the Customer, including associated,
subsidiary, affiliated, holding or any parent or group companies or any
other undertaking (save to the extent such associated undertaking is
acting as a contractor or agent providing services pursuant to Section
2.2.3 or is a client for professional services pursuant to Section 2.2.5); or
2.4.2
save in the case of contractors and agents providing services pursuant
to Section 2.2.3 or provision of professional services pursuant to Section
2.2.5, for any Financial Gain or commercial purposes of the Customer,
whether the Ordnance Survey Data are used on their own or in
combination with any products or services of the Customer or which
convey any Financial Gain for the benefit of any person other than the
Customer or its employees.

Conditions of use for publishing for display and/or promotional
purposes
3.1
Subject to the restrictions in Section 3.2 below, Ordnance Survey Data may be
published for display and/or promotional purposes provided there is no Financial
Gain but only:
3.1.1
as a background to display information specific to the Customer’s
activities; or
3.1.2
to promote the Customer’s commercial or public services, provided that
the use of Ordnance Survey Data is secondary to the Customer’s
services or business activities and is not a service or business activity in
itself; or
3.1.3
in order to provide directional guidelines on how to locate the Customer’s
premises or a location relevant to the Customer’s day-to-day business
activities.
3.2
The following conditions apply to the publishing of the Ordnance Survey Data for
Display and/or Promotional purposes by the Customer:
Page 3
3.2.1
the correct database right, copyright, trade mark acknowledgements and
licence number must be used. Acknowledgements are always required
and each individual image using Ordnance Survey Data must contain
the appropriate acknowledgement(s). Non-compliance will be regarded
as a breach of your obligations under this Schedule and, without
prejudice to any other rights, may incur royalties at our normal
commercial use rates;
3.2.2
the Customer must overlay outputs generated using the
Ordnance Survey Data with information that is specifically relevant to the
purpose of the Display and/or Promotion. Use of Ordnance Survey Data
in this manner must only be to demonstrate the services or activities to
which the Ordnance Survey Data makes a significant contribution.
Ordnance Survey Data must not be published on their own or in any
format or as the primary or dominant part of any Display and/or
Promotion and must always be combined with appropriate additional
information relating to the Customer;
3.2.3
a visible background watermark to identify the source of the publication
may be required by Ordnance Survey. This is a mandatory requirement
when publishing Ordnance Survey Data electronically. The Customer
shall choose its own method of applying a watermark from suitable
alternatives. The purpose of the watermark is not to obscure or change
the meaning of the Customer’s message, but to establish the source of
the material and to deter its use for other purposes;
3.2.4
when using the Ordnance Survey Data, whether in paper or electronic
format, the Customer is to include a brief statement of the purpose of the
publication and the reason why mapping information is included together
with limitations for its further use. This can be placed anywhere within
the document;
3.2.5
the Customer shall use all reasonable endeavours to prevent the
improper use of the Ordnance Survey Data by its staff or any third
parties;
3.2.6
only such amounts of Ordnance Survey Data may be used as are
necessary to meet the specific need for which they are used;
3.2.7
Ordnance Survey Data must not be published in their original condition
either in paper or electronic form. Any publication, both paper and
electronically, must feature such additional elements or content as are
specifically relevant to the purpose to which they are put. Such additional
content must be provided by the Customer and unless otherwise agreed
with Ordnance Survey must be sufficiently significant to render the
underlying Ordnance Survey Data unusable for any other purpose.
When published electronically this additional content must be
incorporated into the Ordnance Survey Data in a manner which does not
allow them to be separated from each other unless expressly agreed in
writing by Ordnance Survey; and
3.2.8
Ordnance Survey Data must not be published electronically in a manner
which will allow vector map data to be extracted from the published
materials. For the avoidance of doubt, this means in whole, part or
derived vector data.

purpose to which it is put. Such additional content must be provided by the

4.7
The Customer may provide copies of Ordnance Survey Data to any other customer
of Ordnance Survey which has a Statutory Obligation and which is a party to an
agreement with Ordnance Survey by which such customer is licensed on specific
terms to use Ordnance Survey Data, provided that:
