Permission granted is for the unaltered reproduction of the image. The image must be reproduced as supplied, and not cropped in any way (except for margins, captions etc…) unless express permission has been given.
The commercial or other use of photographs may be offensive on ethical or cultural grounds. For this reason, care must be taken in the use made of such reproductions and the proposed use may need to be discussed when applying for reproduction rights.
The Library’s permission and fee applies only to the use you have declared on the order form. Permission must be sought for any alterations or additions to the declared intended purpose. Further use of the image requires contacting us again for permission and may require a further fee.

Copyright and Privacy

The majority of the images in Paataka Ipurangi are free from copyright restrictions. The City Library does not charge an additional copyright fee.
If there are any issues surrounding copyright you will be informed on receipt of order.

Additional charges, payable to the copyright owner, may apply. Library staff may be able to assist with this process but are not qualified to give legal opinions.

In these circumstances the Library will accept a letter in which you accept responsibility for publishing an item for which you have not been able to clear copyright and outlining the steps you have taken to determine and clear copyright. Please note that this procedure does not give you indemnity.
The Library will not accept responsibility for any decision about copyright made by users.
Palmerston North City Library has made every effort to establish copyright status. Sometimes however, status is unclear. We welcome further information, so please feel free to Contact us if you can help us in this respect.
