Copyright and Related Issues The history of the AND and the many and various sources of supplementary material made available on this site mean that copyright issues are necessarily complicated, hence the relative length of what follows. Please note that separate considerations apply to Dictionary material on the one hand and source texts and scholarly articles on the other. ANOH = The Anglo Norman On-Line
Hub Copyright in the Anglo-Norman Dictionary All rights in the
substantive content of AND1 (including
those appertaining to digital as well as print publication)
are owned by the MHRA. For AND1 entries published on this site,
the intellectual property of the ANOH extends only to the XML
markup and XSLT rendering applied to the AND1 material, and
not to that material itself. AND1 entries appear on this site with
the kind permission of the MHRA, and on the basis of that permission
they may be viewed and searched here. Any copying
of AND1 material, whether or not sourced from this site, requires
the prior permission of the MHRA, to whom all enquiries should
be addressed.

Copyright in the non-Dictionary materials Broadly speaking, source texts and scholarly articles on this site fall into one of four categories. 1. Items which are in the public domain, either because they have been placed there by their creators or former owners, or because copyright has expired. In the case of such items the ANOH claims intellectual property rights only in the XML markup and the underlying document analysis which it expresses, and in the XSLT rendering that produces the on-screen display. The status of such items is identified in the introductory material, and/or at the foot of displayed pages. 2. Items which are wholly the intellectual property of third parties, who have granted the ANOH exclusive or non-exclusive permission to republish the items digitally on this site. In this case, that permission extends only to viewing or searching the items on this site. Any other copying or use of the materials, even if derived from the digital version on this site, requires the prior and explicit permission of the copyright owner(s), who should be approached directly. The introductory material of each item and/or a footer attached to its display identify the intellectual property owners of the item concerned. Should users experience any difficulty in contacting such owners, the ANOH will be glad to assist by supplying any required additional details. 3. Items which are published for the first time on this site and are the intellectual property of their author(s) or editor(s) and/or of the ANOH. Any copying or use of these items that exceeds the limits of any "fair dealing" defined in any applicable jurisdiction, and in particular the making of multiple hard copies of the whole or any part of such items for any purpose whatever, including educational use, is forbidden unless prior specific permission has been given in writing by the ANOH. Such permission will readily be granted upon request, and without fee, for bona fide educational or scholarly purposes. Please note that any multiple copying agreements that may be in force between institutions and publishing houses or their agents do not cover copying of materials in this category. Again, the status of such items is indicated in introductory material and/or at the foot of displayed pages. 4. Material from the DEAF Complément bibliographique which that project kindly allows us to associate with our own bibliographical data. All such material, whether or not accessed via the AND servers, is the intellectual property of DEAF, and its use is subject to terms stated on their web site, to which every DEAF item on the ANOH site bears a hyperlink. |

In addition to the respecting the intellectual
property rights indicated above, you must not incorporate any digital
AND entries, or any source material or scholarly article on this site,
in whole or in part, into any other publication in any medium, whether
for profit or otherwise, without prior and specific permission of the
ANOH and any other interested parties. In particular, any unauthorised
copying of entire AND entries or substantial portions of other copyright
materials published here on to other web sites, whether the sites concerned
are commercial, academic, open access or community based, will be treated
as a breach of copyright and appropriate measures will be taken against
those responsible for any such copying and their Internet hosting and
connection providers. This
prohibition extends to "user-community-authored" reference
sites and meta-search facilities that return site contents
in full rather than via links to the site of origin. The purpose of
this restriction is to ensure that the work of the ANOH contributors,
funded largely by United Kingdom taxpayers, can be freely accessible
to all in a way that allows the authors' contributions to scholarship
to be acknowledged and the integrity of their work to be safeguarded.
It does not of course attempt to override "fair
dealing" provisions
as defined in any jurisdiction to which users and/or the ANOH may be
subject: in particular, citation of AND entries or other material on
this site for the purposes of illustration, scholarly
discussion and review requires no specific prior permission from the
ANOH. |

All the material on this site for which the AND editors are responsible has been prepared and checked to the highest attainable academic standards, both by project members and, in many cases, by external assessors, and remains under constant scholarly review. However, the ANOH offers NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER as to the correctness or fitness for purpose of anything on this site, and accepts no liability for any consequences that may arise from the direct or indirect use of site contents in any way whatever. |
