If you are using Information from several Information Providers and listing multiple

excludes all representations, warranties, obligations and liabilities in relation to

Definitions
In this licence, the terms below have the following meanings:
'Information' means information protected by copyright or by database right (for

use under the terms of this licence.
'Information Provider' means the person or organisation providing the Information
under this licence.

and Information subject to copyright and database right that has been assigned to

'Use' means doing any act which is restricted by copyright or database right, whether
in the original medium or in any other medium, and includes without limitation
distributing, copying, adapting, modifying as may be technically necessary to use
it in a different mode or format.
'You', 'you' and 'your' means the natural or legal person, or body of persons c

About the Open Government Licence
The National Archives has developed this licence as a tool to enable Information
Providers in the public sector to license the use and re-use of their Information
under a common open licence. The National Archives invites public sector bodies
owning their own copyright and database rights to permit the use of their Information
under this licence.
The Keeper of the Public Records has authority to license Information subject to
copyright and database right owned by the Crown. The extent of the offer to license
this Information under the terms of this licence is set out in the UK Government
Licensing Framework.
This is version 3.0 of the Open Government Licence. The National Archives may, from
time to time, issue new versions of the Open Government Licence. If you are already
using Information under a previous version of the Open Government Licence, the
terms of that licence will continue to apply.
These terms are compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 and
the Open Data Commons Attribution License, both of which license copyright and
database rights. This means that when the Information is adapted and licensed under
either of those licences, you automatically satisfy the conditions of the OGL when
you comply with the other licence. The OGLv3.0 is Open Definition compliant.
Further context, best practice and guidance can be found in the UK Government
Licensing Framework section on The National Archives website.
