This page outlines the Tour of Tasmania's policies concerning copyright matters, privacy, and legal responsibility. It definitely isn't the most exciting part of the Tour, but in the modern world is a necessity.

Copyright notice

The Interactive Tour of Tasmania is protected by Australian, United States, and international copyright laws. Unauthorised use of material contained in the Tour of Tasmania is strictly prohibited.

In particular, re-publication or re-distribution of any Tour of Tasmania content, via the Internet or any other means, is expressly disallowed.

Text, graphics, video and audio:
Small fragments of text and graphics from the Tour of Tasmania (totalling no more than one page or one screen dump) may be quoted or reproduced for editorial purposes as permitted by copyright law. Where this is done, an acknowledgement to the Tour of Tasmania as the source of the text or graphic (and which incorporates the Tour of Tasmania's URL, http://www.tourtasmania.com) must accompany the quoted or reproduced segment. You must receive permission from the author before using text or graphics for any other purpose, or before reproducing greater quantities than described above. The use or re-distribution of video or audio from the Tour of Tasmania is strictly prohibited regardless of quantity or purpose.
