How are the rights of the original copyright holder maintained when data archived at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) are re-used by others?
Access conditions for the dissemination of all materials deposited at the UKDA are agreed between the UKDA and the data depositor at the time of deposit, using the licence agreement. This agreement is a contractually binding legal document. Similarly, when materials are requested from the UKDA, a further document or access agreement, whereby the user undertakes to abide by all conditions stipulated in the agreement, will need to be completed before any materials are supplied. It is the combination of these contractual agreements that ensures copyright infringement does not occur.
