License Terms

LINDAT Web Crawl Licence (further as “Agreement”) between The publisher of the dataset (“The Publisher”) and The user of the dataset (“The User”).

The User agrees to use the collection data set collected by The Publisher (the "Collection"). The User agrees to abide by the following understandings, terms and conditions. These understandings, terms and conditions apply equally to all or to part of the Collection, including any updates or new versions of the Collection supplied under this Agreement.

Copyright

The Collection has been obtained by crawling the Internet. Due to the size of the Collection it has not been practicable to obtain permission from copyright owners to provide the Collection for the uses permitted under this Agreement (“Permitted Uses”).

The User understands that all the documents in the Collection are documents which have been at some time made publicly available on the Internet and which have been collected using a process which respects the commonly accepted methods (such as robots.txt) for indicating that the documents should not be so collected.

Owners of copyright in individual documents may choose to request deletion of these documents from the Collection.

The limitation on permitted use contained in the following section is intended to reduce the risk of any action being brought by copyright owners, but if this happens The User agrees to bear all associated liability.

Permitted Uses

The Collection may only be used for research and development of natural-language processing, information-retrieval or document-understanding systems.

Summaries, analyses and interpretations of the linguistic properties of the Collection may be derived and published, provided it is not possible to reconstruct the Collection from these summaries.

Small excerpts of the Collection may be displayed to others or published in a scientific or technical context, solely for the purpose of describing the research and development carried out and related issues.

All efforts must be made not to infringe the rights of any third party including, but not limited to, the authors and publishers of any excerpts used in accordance with the clauses above in this “Permitted Uses” section.

The User must make sure that they only display the Collection to or share the Collection with persons who also signed this Agreement with The Publisher.

Agreement to Delete Data on Request

The User undertakes to delete within thirty days of receiving notice all copies of any nominated document that is part of the Collection whenever requested to do so by either The Publisher or by the owner of copyright for the particular document.

No Warranty

The Collection is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement. In no event shall The Publisher be liable for any claim, damages or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort or otherwise, arising in any way of the use of the Collection.

Termination

Either The Publisher or The User may terminate this Agreement at any time by notifying the other party in writing. On termination of the Agreement The User shall destroy all copies of the Collection.
