OUR COPYRIGHT RESPONSIBILITIES
Timetable Content and Layout
Timetable publishers are automatically granted copyright protection on the information content and its presentation for a period of time. We will only offer timetables for which we have obtained a publisher's license or where we reasonably believe the item to be out-of-copyright.
We seek licenses to reproduce scanned images on the understanding that we make subsequent access on a non-commercial and free-to-users basis, and will credit items accordingly. The same terms will apply to any person or organisation that uses material obtained from Timetable World.
Copyright can be re-assigned, as often happens when a transport undertaking is acquired or liquidated. We will make reasonable efforts to identify the current beneficial owner in order to seek permission to reproduce images. If you believe we have inadvertently impinged your copyright, please contact us immediately at contact@timetableworld.com or at our registered postal address.
Embedded Services
A number of services are embedded in Timetable World. We will require users of this website to be bound by any licensing and copyright conditions applicable to those sites, unchanged.
LICENSING
Timetable Content and Layout
In-copyright items for which Timetable World holds a reproduction license are not available for re-licensing, but we may be able to facilitate negotiation of a license extention with the copyright owner for you. Out-of-copyright items can be used without limitation.
Scans
Scans of timetables and maps are the copyright of
Timetable World in all cases, even if the original is out-of-copyright. We will happily license non-commercial uses, but please ask first. And don't waste bandwidth by trying to screen-scrape every image - ask us for a DVD. Yes - we'll ask you for a financial contribution towards running the site.
