Copyright notice

This template copyright notice has been designed to help website operators protect their copyright.

Websites as such are not copyright-protected works. However, most websites will incorporate text (literary works), images (graphic works), computer code (also literary works) and potentially other types of copyright-protected work too.

The notice has several different purposes: (i) it contains an assertion of the ownership of copyright in the website; (ii) it sets out licensing terms which describe the ways in which the website may be used; and (iii) it contains provisions relating to copyright infringements, enforcement and permissions.

If you are using one of our website T&Cs of use documents, you are unlikely to need this template, as most of those documents incorporate a copyright notice.
