Providing you are an Authorised User at a subscribing institution you may use the British Geological Survey data for Educational Purposes but not for Commercial Use. “Educational Purposes” means using the maps and data for the purpose of education, teaching, distance learning, private study and/or research. “Commercial Use” means the use of the maps and data for any reason which generates a profit. However, you may not supply British Geological Survey data to your sponsors (see clauses 4.1.5 and 4.1.7). You may provide your sponsors with paper maps or electronic map images as part of your research report.
