Rights in LemmingMeteo materials and the permission required for copying, redistribution and reuse.

Last updated

1. Protected materials

Rights in original LemmingMeteo software, texts, artwork, visual presentation, map renderings, diagrams, branding and original selection or arrangement of materials are reserved to LemmingMeteo or the relevant rights holder. Copyright, trademark and database protection apply where the requirements of the relevant law are met.

Access to a page, a file or an interface does not transfer those rights. The name LemmingMeteo and its visual identity may not be used to suggest an unauthorised affiliation or endorsement.

2. Prior written permission

Except for ordinary viewing through the service, a separately granted licence or a mandatory legal exception, copying, publishing, distributing, modifying, embedding, selling or commercially exploiting protected LemmingMeteo materials requires prior written approval from LemmingMeteo.

This includes reuse of screenshots, maps, charts, visual assets and protected collections in another publication, product or service. Giving credit or linking to LemmingMeteo does not, by itself, replace the necessary permission. Silence in response to a request is not approval.

3. Collections, extraction and redistribution

Automated or systematic extraction, bulk downloading, mirroring, repeated collection, resale and redistribution of materials through LemmingMeteo are not authorised by ordinary website access. The same applies to using protected materials or collections to supply a substitute service or to train a model without the necessary rights.

Where applicable, database rights may restrict substantial extraction or repeated extraction of smaller parts. Access conditions and technical limits remain applicable independently of whether a particular factual value qualifies for copyright protection.

4. Source data and third-party rights

LemmingMeteo does not claim exclusive ownership of weather facts, public-domain information or materials owned by others. Original source data and separately licensed components remain governed by their applicable terms. Those terms may permit uses that this notice cannot restrict.

For example, NOAA/NWS identifies much of its information as public domain, subject to its notices and restrictions on false attribution or implied endorsement. Nothing here removes rights you obtain independently and lawfully from such a source. Those rights do not automatically grant access to protected LemmingMeteo assets or permission to bypass its service controls.

Preserve applicable source acknowledgements and licence notices. Separate notices accompany certain weather-symbol assets used by the site.

6. Permission requests and rights concerns

Contact LemmingMeteo before the proposed reuse. Identify the materials, purpose, publication or service, intended audience, duration and whether the use is commercial. Any approval applies only to the scope stated in writing.

To report a possible rights infringement, identify the relevant material, the claimed right and the location of the disputed use, and provide a way to contact you. LemmingMeteo reserves the remedies available under applicable law.
