3. Derived Data

  • The Data may contain, or be derived (in whole or in part) from, third party data to which the Broads Authority a holds licence; the third party data supplier often retains rights in the Data. If this is the case the Broads Authority will endeavour to inform you (at the time of supply) of third parties that retain rights to the Data, the appropriate third party specific terms will then apply which may be more restrictive than those applying to Broads Authority owned Data. However, the Broads Authority accepts no liabilities for any failure to provide a notice of such third party retained rights.
  • Where a dataset is derived from multiple third party datasets including data licenced under the Open Government Licence all third party licencing terms apply. If the data is derived from both OS OpenData and data licenced under the Ordnance Survey Public Sector End User Licence – INSPIRE, then the Ordnance Survey Public Sector End User Licence – INSPIRE attribution statement should be used, along with any other third party attribution required under the OGL.
