Terms and conditions
1 - Terms used in this agreement
For the purposes of this contract the term "Registrant" should be taken to mean any person or business making use of the registration system provided on this site. The term "IP Rights Office" refers to the Intellectual Property Rights Office (see "Parties to this Agreement", below). The term "Work" refers to the file or files submitted for registration or intended for submission to registration.
2 - Registering Works
By completing the registration process the Registrant grants the IP Rights Office and its authorized archive partners the unrestricted right to record and copy their Work for archiving purposes only. Any copies made will be treated as confidential and will not be made public or knowingly made available to any persons or organizations other than authorized archivists and, if required by law, law enforcement agencies.
By submitting a file for registration the Registrant asserts that they are the rightful owner of the Work, or are acting on behalf of the rightful owner, and that the details of the rightful owner have been given as those to whom the work is registered, and are correct and accurate to the best of the Registrant's knowledge. The Registrant warrants that all items submitted are suitable for registration, and is aware that the IP Rights Office does not make any judgement regarding the suitability of submitted material.
The Registrant shall, if requested by the IP Rights Office, supply it with any declaration necessary for the purposes of obtaining any consent or clearance which the IP Rights Office might be required to obtain by any competent authority to enable it to perform the service being requested by the Registrant, in a form specified by the IP Rights Office.
In order for a Work to be registered the Registrant must make appropriate payment via the WorldPay payment facility only. Payment cannot be accepted by any other means. Works to be registered must be submitted via the upload facility provided, or (failing that) by email (upon invitation only). No Works will be accepted in hard copy format or by email prior to payment. If the Registrant fails to upload the Work using the upload facility and also fails to provide the Work by email within 28 days of the payment of the registration fee then the information provided relating to the Work and/or the registration fee will be archived alone as evidence of the date of claim to copyright ownership. Without the actual Work archived, however, the efficaciousness of the registration will be seriously compromised, for which the IP Rights Office can accept no liability.
Payment made for registration covers the uploading and archiving of the Work and/or the details of the Work and associated registration fee payment only. Storage of said Work and/or details is provided free of charge and as such any early termination of registration does not affect the cost of the registration and does not constitute grounds for refund, either in whole or in part.
No changes can be made to the registered Work or the details relating to it after registration. If an error such as a typing error has occurred during registration then the Registrant may apply to have this error corrected within 28 days of registration upon payment of a Registration Correction Fee of AUD $13 / GBP £5 / CAD $10 / EUR €8 / NZ $15 / USD $9. Corrections to spelling and minor changes to wording will be accepted only. No alteration of details will be accepted.
3 - Permitted use of CRS seals
After registration Registrants are granted limited rights to reproduce CRS seals in print only. No seals may be used in any way other than that intended by the IP Rights Office. Seals intended for use in print must not be used online and online seals may not be used in print. When using online seals the Registrant must serve their own copy of the image and not use the copy stored on this site.
Seals may only be used in conjunction with the registered Work and must not continue to be used after the end of the period of registration, or after the registration has been terminated either by the Registrant or the IP Rights Office. Upon expiry or termination of the registration any seals must be removed immediately from online. In print, the seal must not be printed on any future copy of the Work, and must be crossed out or obscured on any existing copies in the Registrant's possession.
Whenever a seal is used (or the registration is cited upon the Work) the reference number of the Work must be placed immediately alongside it.
Registrants must not make or allow to be made any alteration to any seal, nor distribute them to any other person other than for the sole purpose of applying the seal to the Work in question. Distribution includes but is not limited to the placing of seals or copies of seals online or in emails, or making the URL of seal images available to others in any way.
The IP Rights Office reserves the right to demand the immediate withdrawal of any CRS seal it feels to be misused in any way.
Failure to comply with any of the terms of use for CRS seals will result in the termination of the associated registration without refund, and could also result in legal action.
