Some of our datasets, however, have access restrictions placed
upon them. This is because the data suppliers wish to monitor
the use of their data and require an acknowledgement of the data
source if they are used in any publication. Although restricted
datasets are distributed under strict Conditions of Use,
the data remains Free of Charge*.
Outlines of the Conditions of Use and Full data agreements
are presented below.
