What can I do with Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa content?

This section describes what Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa authorises you to do with our content.

Current Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa licence-holders may print, store, re-use, and supply copyright content within the licence-holding organisation for the duration of the term of the Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa licence.

Former licence-holders may not print, store, and supply copyright content within the licence-holding organisation, except single copies of materials lawfully obtained during the duration of the licence, provided that these single copies are stored securely with a clear statement that the Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa licence is no longer active.

An organisation that does not hold a current Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa licence may not make use of our content in a way that may convey to others the impression that the organisation is a current Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa licence-holder. Other users of our copyright content not included in the aforementioned categories may reproduce, distribute, adapt, and translate copyright content without Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa explicit permission, provided that any changes made to the content are clearly indicated.

Adaptations, translations, or derivatives may not carry Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa logo unless explicit permission from Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa has been provided in advance of the creation of the adaptation, translation, or derivative. Our logo and brand are a registered trademark and may not be used without our prior express written permission. For any derivative work, please add this text to the work: “Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa assumes no liability or responsibility with regard to the edits made to, or translation of, the original work.”

When content published by Tāwhia Copyright Aotearoa, such as images, graphics, trademarks or logos, is attributed to a third party, and you wish to re-use such content, then you are solely responsible for clearing the rights with the rightsholders of the content.
