6. Supply and storage of Material

In these terms, “Material” is defined as any material whatsoever and in whatever form which is capable of being offered and used for Reproduction, as derived from text or page images, photographic prints or transparencies or digital files or any other text, pictorial or graphic item and/or extracts from, (including, but not limited to) any of the following:

  • area guides;
  • why it matters guides;
  • showcase and vision mode images;
  • local reviews; and
  • posts comments and replies.

“Reproduction” is defined as any form of electronic or mechanical publication, or copying, of any part of any Material (whether or not altered) whether by printing, broadcasting, transcription, photography, slide projection, photocopying, artists reference, artists illustration, layout or presentation, storage or by any other similar means.

You are supplied with Material at your request by way of loan only and solely for the purpose of deciding whether you wish to Reproduce any such Material and you may not make any other use whatsoever of the Material. Unless we direct you to the contrary, you may store Material supplied to you by us provided that such storage is strictly in accordance with these terms and conditions.

Unless otherwise agreed, we will charge you a non-refundable service fee to cover our administrative costs and cost of despatch of Material to you each time you request Material from us or download Material (whether or not you subsequently choose to request a Licence). Payment of any such fee does not in any way guarantee that we will subsequently grant you a “Licence” (defined as a licence to Reproduce Material as subject to any further express terms and restrictions regarding size, manner of use, period of use, territory, and/or accreditation)

You do not at any stage acquire any Intellectual Property Rights in any Material or any other right, title or interest in any Material, except any granted specifically to you by a Licence. Such “Intellectual Property Rights ” are defined as copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks or business names, registered designs, design rights, utility models, titles, logos, topography rights, applications to register any of the aforementioned rights, trade secrets and know-how and any other intellectual or industrial property rights of any nature whatsoever in any part of the world

Possession by you of any Material does not constitute consent by us for you to Reproduce any of it and you may not Reproduce any Material unless and until a Licence is granted to you.

All Material will be deemed to have been delivered to you (by whatever means used for this purpose) complete and in good condition, unless you notify us to the contrary within 24 hours after receipt.

If Material is delivered to you by ftp or http download requiring you to be issued by us with a username(s) and password(s), you agree and undertake to be solely responsible for the security and proper use of such username(s) and password(s) and you further agree and undertake to take all reasonable steps to ensure that any such username(s) and password(s) is/are kept confidential, secure, used properly and not disclosed to or used by any third party without our prior written consent. In particular, you agree that each username and password is for the exclusive use of a named individual who is duly authorised by you for such purpose and no username or password supplied by us to you will be used by any other individual to access our ftp or http download site and you will, if additional usernames and passwords are required for operational reasons, make a written request to us for their provision.

7. Order and possible Licence

You agree that you will promptly (and in any event no later than 21 days after the date of Supply of Material to you) give us reasonably complete and accurate details of any intended use of such Material and, if you so require, submit a request for a Licence to us.

When we receive such a request, we may (but are not obliged in any way to) grant you a Licence. If we agree to grant you a Licence, we will submit to you a document entitled “Licence of Use” which will require you to pay us an agreed fee for such Licence upon its terms.

If we grant you a Licence in respect of any Material, such Licence will be, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to these terms and conditions and any other terms and conditions set out in the “Licence of Use” and will grant, unless otherwise specified, non-exclusive rights for a specified single use, over a specified period of time (if applicable), in a specified territory or territories. The Licence will be personal to you and not assignable or capable of sub-licence (unless otherwise agreed). The Licence will not confer on you any right to Reproduce the Material in question again or re-use it or to have a further or new Licence granted to you by us.

All our fees and charges are net of any applicable duties, taxes or imposts (including, but not limited to, any export or import duties and value added tax), all of which shall be payable by you, and shall be paid in full without any set-off, deduction or withholding whatsoever.

8. Permission to Reproduce

You agree and acknowledge that any Reproduction of Material by you before we grant the Licence to you, and/or if you fail to pay our invoice in full in accordance with its terms, and/or if you do not Reproduce Material strictly in accordance with these terms and conditions and those in any “Licence of Use”, is an infringement of our rights (including a breach of copyright) and a breach of contract which entitles us, amongst other things, to claim damages from you and terminate our contractual arrangements with you.

9. Your responsibilities

  • you will duly assess the need to obtain (and, where necessary, obtain) any additional releases, licences, authorisations, permits or consents for your intended use of Material;

  • any digital images, and any copies or records of such images, held by you on a database, and any hard copy Material held by you, will be subject at all times to these terms and conditions and those in the applicable licence to use, (notwithstanding expiry thereof) and will be destroyed (or returned to us, at your expense, as the case may be) by you either at the end of the period of use specified, or upon request by us;
  • you will store hard-copy Material only in an archive or other storage medium, access to which is private and restricted to those of your employees who require it for purposes permitted under these terms, or those of any applicable licence to use, and you will promptly, and in any event within 24 hours of receiving any such request, comply with any request by us for return or destruction of any Material, or its removal from any archive or other storage medium;

  • you will keep the fees and charges for which you are liable under these terms and conditions and any licence of use, and any terms and conditions relating to your use and storage of Material which are specific to you (including, but not limited to, details of any discount arrangements with us) confidential at all times and will not disclose any such information to any third party (save to your auditors or other professional advisers) without our prior written consent; and

We warrant to you that we have the right to grant permission to Reproduce in a Licence. We do not warrant the accuracy of any description of Material given to you or the identification of the subjects or persons appearing in it, nor do we make any claim or warranty in respect of your use of content, text, names, people, trademarks or other Intellectual Property Rights or proprietary rights, including moral rights, or as to the existence or non-existence or validity of model or other releases in respect of any Material or as to whether there are, or are not, any other statutory or contractual restrictions in respect of any Material or its use or Reproduction.

We do not grant you, in any Licence, any rights in respect of use of names, trade or service marks, logos, mastheads, newspaper titles (including The Times’ title and masthead containing the Royal Coat of Arms) or likenesses contained or depicted in any Material and you may not use any logos, mastheads or trade or service marks for any purpose

11. Termination, assignment and governance

If you wish to cancel a Licence after a fee has been agreed, you must request this in writing, any cancellation is at our entire discretion and will be upon payment of a cancellation fee.

We may terminate a Licence at any time by written notice to you:

You may not transfer, assign or sub-license any or all of your rights under these terms, or any Licence, without our prior written consent.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any rights under these terms, or under a Licence, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such rights at any time or times thereafter
