Limitations on Public Access

otherRestrictions

Other constraints

Samples and cores collected by BGS are available for inspection, measurement and sub-sampling. Access to non-BGS material may be subject to seeking permission from the owner. A copy of any new data and reports arising from work done on the the sample and core material should be submitted to BGS to add to its archive. Data and reports can be held as commercial-in-confidence for an agreed period of time.

Other constraints

The copyright of materials derived from the British Geological Survey's work is vested in the Natural Environment Research Council [NERC]. No part of this work may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, or stored in a retrieval system of any nature, without the prior permission of the copyright holder, via the BGS Intellectual Property Rights Manager. Use by customers of information provided by the BGS, is at the customer's own risk. In view of the disparate sources of information at BGS's disposal, including such material donated to BGS, that BGS accepts in good faith as being accurate, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the quality or accuracy of the information supplied, or to the information's suitability for any use. NERC/BGS accepts no liability whatever in respect of loss, damage, injury or other occurence however caused.

Other constraints

Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Statement

BGS samples and cores are archived in the core store after examination and analysis. Non-BGS material may be archived directly without any examination or analysis by BGS. The volume and timing of adding new material is very variable. There is no requirement for organisations to donate material to BGS. When material is offered to the archive, BGS assesses if the material enhances the spatial/geological coverage of the already archived material before agreeing to accept it.
