3D objects (e.g. ships models) and sound and video recordings,

The names, marks, images and logos identifying the National
Maritime Museum, Royal Observatory, Greenwich or third parties

General
Access to, and use of, the Flinders Papers Website
(the 'Website') is provided subject to the following terms and
conditions. Please read these terms carefully as your access
to and use of the Website will be deemed as acceptance by you
of the terms of use.
Unauthorized attempts to deny service, upload information,
change information or to attempt to access non-public data from
this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable to
the full extent of the law of England and Wales.
Internet websites normally qualify for copyright protection
and probably Database Right protection under UK law. Each individual
page is considered as a broadcast. In addition, any attempt
to mount this material on another website will be considered
an act of communicating the Content to the public without the
consent of the copyright owner which will infringe the Right
of Communication to the Public. Database Right will also be
an issue as the site itself constitutes a database regardless
of the status of the individual items incorporated in it.
Copyright in a broadcast Web page covers the signal sent, whereas
copyright and database right cover the contents, so copyright
would be infringed by:
Non-permitted use
Other than as expressly permitted by these terms of
use, you may not copy, download, reproduce, publish, republish,
post, transmit, modify, adapt, translate, manipulate, add to,
delete from, adapt, distribute or otherwise use any Content
in whole or in part, in any medium without the National Maritime
Museum's prior written permission or without the written permission
of the relevant copyright holder. In addition, users shall not
be entitled to reproduce Content (or any part thereof) without
any identification mark or other mark of origin relating hitherto.
No Content, or any part thereof, may be permanently copied
or reproduced in any form or reproduced on any other system
or website, or stored in or transmitted to or from any other
electronic or digital from in whole or in part.
The National Maritime Museum reserves the right to require
the removal of any link established by a third party between
the Website and any third party website.
Third party copyright
From time to time the Content may include certain third party
materials for which the copyright is not owned by the National
Maritime Museum. In the case of the Flinders papers website,
the copyright for the following documents and the photographic
images of those documents is held by Lisette Flinders Petrie:
You may not print (or otherwise store in any permanent form) any
items which state that copyright is not held by National Maritime
Museum.
Permitted use
Access to and use of the Website is permitted only by individuals
for personal and/or educational use or non-commercial purposes.
Subject to certain limitations there is no infringement by 'fair
dealing', e.g. using material for research (non-commercial) or
private study, criticism or for news and current affairs.
You may access and download the Content and store a copy on
a temporary basis for the sole purpose of viewing such Content
without alteration or addition. You may print any Content (other
than third party copyright) in whole or in part provided that
such reproduction is to be used for personal and educational
purposes only.
Public Records/Crown Copyright
Any public record (e.g. ration books, discharge papers,
official documents), published or unpublished, that is available
to the public, can be copied and supplied without infringing
copyright. This includes material in public record repositories
such as the Public Record Office (PRO) and designated places
of deposit for public records (such as archives). Items can
include census returns, deposited plans, tithe maps and apportionments.
There are no problems with using such material that is still
in copyright as long as acknowledgements are made. If using
personal documents which happen to be held by the PRO but not
of Crown copyright e.g. personal letters between a sailor and
his wife, personal diary entries of a naval officer, permission
must be sought from the PRO.
Probate material post-1858 and pre-1858 material that was administered
by ecclesiastical courts is also covered by Crown copyright,
as are medical records created by the National Health Service
and predecessor bodies up to 1990. For medical records created
from 1990 onwards copyright rests with the individual bodies
(such as Health Trusts).
