Website T&C
Just a few basics to make things clear for all visitors.
General
Access to this website is granted to all visitors on an as-available basis. Website availability is not guaranteed. Whilst every effort is made to verify the accuracy of material, no responsibility can be accepted for any errors or omissions. You should verify for yourself anything you wish to rely on.
Any and all references to this website, it's contributors or operator by the media must be approved in advance.
Linking
You are free to link to this site, indeed, it is encouraged, but please try to link to http://www.viewdata.org.uk/ itself rather than the content pages directly, as occasionally these can move about.
You are NOT permitted to link directly to images on this site, or include them in other websites or forum postings for example, without specifically including a link to the site or web page that it comes from. This can be a link made by clicking on the image itself. This is so that viewers may see the context the image came from.
Occasionally links to test or trial areas of the site may be given out in the forum or by private email. Please do not distribute these as such material is likely to be moved or withdrawn without notice.
Copyright
All original text is copyright 2009-2010 Robert O'Donnell or other contributors as will be acknowledged at the time. The programs used to generate the screen images and interpret and utilise the routing within them is also copyright 2010 Robert O'Donnell. These may however be found at Google Code if you are interested.
You may not reproduce or copy anything from this website without specific written authority, except as is required by normal web browsing technology.
Copyright in scanned material generally rests with the original authors or publishers and where possible, any included copyright notices are retained.
Much material relating to Prestel originates from BT. Prior to privatisation in 1984, this was a state-owned corporation, and thus any documentation from this period count as public records. As their interest in Prestel was sold in 1994, the copyright status of any documents originating from after 1984 is unclear, as the eventual owners, Financial Express, have no records remaining. I have asked BT for their comments. Micronet, aka Telemap Group Ltd, was bought out by BT and so I presume any residual copyright in any of their material is the same.
Many screenshots contain contributions from other service subscribers. Whilst they retain copyright in their submitted material, they will have been assumed to grant a non-exclusive licence for publication of that material at the time. I believe that reproducing it here is therefore fair and appropriate.
This is my interpretation of the law and I am happy to be corrected. If you believe you are the copyright owner of any material I have published here, and do not wish it to be distributed, then I am happy to remove it on receipt of any request that includes sufficient documentation to give me no doubt as to the status and identity of the requester.
If you are an individual and believe that any current personal information has been included, I am happy to remove this on request.
As with anything on the site, if you have any issues, concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to Contact me first so things can be dealt with quickly and amicably.
