We will not ordinarily issue licences to cover entire BGS digital dataset(s), unless such use can be justified within the contexts of the specific research being undertaken. So, if you have a defined geographic study area of interest and\/or you know which particular BGS digital datasets you need to use, please advise us of this as soon as possible so that we can ensure that your licence is activated as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Please be sure to advise us if use by colleagues on the same project will be required, so that we can include this additional use on the licence documentation to ensure that all proposed use is covered under the licence.<\/p>\n<p>BGS data licence documentation needs to be signed by someone authorised on behalf of the licensee institution. If you are a student, this will normally be a tutor, supervisor or other member of staff within your institution.

Because geological map datasets are revised on a periodic rather than an annual basis, you will not necessarily receive a new dataset each year unless changes have been made to the data.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any doubts about whether your proposed use of BGS data will be covered by a BGS digital licence, the digital licencing team will be happy to discuss this with you. We will usually be able to provide reassurance that the licence will cover your individual user requirements and\/or may be able to include additional &#8216;special conditions&#8217; in the licence documentation, addressing specific requirements (whilst always aiming to maintain our requirement to treat all of our data licensees consistently and fairly).<\/p>\n<p>In some cases a Letter of Undertaking (LoU) will be used instead of a BGS data licence. An LoU is used to cover BGS data that has not yet been approved for licencing, but where there are no external IPR concerns that would mean the data are not suitable for external release. The terms of the LoU make it clear that the materials being provided may not have been subjected to current BGS standards of scrutiny and approval and are provided &#8216;as is&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h3>Licence templates<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/download\/digital-data-licence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital data licence<\/a> for approved data<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/download\/letter-of-undertaking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Letter of undertaking<\/a> for non-approved data<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/download\/suds-viewer-licence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Web-viewer subscription service<\/a> for approved data delivered as a web-viewer subscription service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please be aware that the templates are provided solely in order to give guidance as to the kind of terms and conditions under which the BGS may release its digital materials.
