Copyright guidance for the contributor

Any information published on this web site by a member of the public or an organisation, needs to have copyright permission; the responsibility for checking permission rests with the individual or organisation providing the information.

To ensure they do not infringe copyright, all contributors are required to confirm that they are the copyright holder, or have permission from the copyright holder for all the information, images or other attachments that they are sharing.

The project asks all contributors to provide a contact email address of an organisation (this will not be published), in the event that there is a query over copyright. The individual should seek to ensure that all files are kept with the organisation in case of a copyright query if there is any doubt about copyright ownership, the contribution will not be added to the website.

The South Gloucestershire WW1 memorials web site also operates a take-down policy and will remove any records that are found to be in breach of copyright, on notification by the copyright holder.
