Copyright

  1. The Information has been obtained by crawling the public websites of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in the .csiro.au domain.
  2. The CSIRO understands that all the documents in the Information are documents which have been at some time made publicly available on the CSIRO's public websites and which have been collected using a process which respects the commonly accepted methods (such as robots.txt) for indicating that the documents should not be so collected.
  3. Copyright in the material available in the Information is owned by CSIRO and third parties. You must not change in individual documents any of the material or remove any part of any copyright notice.
  4. Due to the amount of Information it has not been practicable to obtain permission from any third party copyright owners to provide the Information for the Permitted Uses. Owners of copyright in individual documents may choose to request deletion of these documents from the Information.
  5. The limitation on permitted use contained in the following section is intended to reduce the risk of any action being brought by third party copyright owners, but if this happens the Organisation agrees to bear all associated liability.

 Permitted Uses

  1. The Information may only be used for research and development of natural-language-processing, information-retrieval or document-understanding systems.

I undertake to delete within thirty days of receiving notice all copies of any nominated document that is part of the Information whenever requested to do so by any one of:

  1. CSIRO; or
  2. the owner of copyright for the particular document.

Access to the Information by Individuals

I understand that the Organisation has agreed to certain obligations in respect of my access and I agree that I will comply with those obligations as they affect me. Those obligations are that the Organisation:

  1. must control access to the Information by individuals and may only grant access to people working under its control, i.e., its own members, consultants to the Organisation, or individuals providing service to the Organisation;
  2. must ensure that before being given access I complete and submit this Individual Application form;
  3. must terminate my access when the conditions of the application no longer apply;
  4. remains responsible for any breach of the Individual Application form by me;
  5. will retain the applications of all persons ever granted access to the Information and make them available upon request to any of the copyright holders and to CSIRO;
  6. will maintain a list of people with current and recently-terminated access to the Information and make it available to CSIRO on request; and
  7. must make sure that I only display the information to or share the information with persons whom my Organisation lists as having access to the information.

Termination

Either CSIRO or the Organisation may terminate the Agreement at any time by notifying the other party in writing. On termination, the Organisation must a) return to CSIRO or destroy all copies of the Information and b) notify CSIRO in writing of the action taken.
