Oil Market Report Terms and Conditions

The Oil Market Report is published once a month. Other oil market information (for example, the Medium-Term Oil Market Report, the Annual Statistical Supplement and other information relating to the Oil Market Report that the user may access via the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) OMR website) is published less frequently. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the Oil Market Report and such other oil market analyses, supplements or other information are referred to as the ‘OMR Material’.

Initially, OMR Material is only available to paying subscribers, governments of IEA Member countries and other IEA authorised recipients (‘Subscriber Edition’). Restrictions apply on the use of the Subscriber Edition. Many of these restrictions are lifted when OMR Material is made available on the IEA OMR public website. It is then known as the ‘Free Edition’. Some information in the Subscriber Edition may be excluded from the Free Edition. The period between release of the Subscriber Edition, and publication of the Free Edition may vary. The Terms and Conditions that apply to the Subscriber Edition and the Free Edition are outlined below.

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions ‘Subscriber’ means the individual or organisation that has purchased a subscription from the IEA and the term ‘User’ means any individual user who accesses OMR Material, whether Subscriber Edition or Free Edition. In some cases the Subscriber and the User will be the same person.

A. General terms and conditions of use for all Users (Subscriber Edition and Free Edition)

Use of the OMR Material that the IEA provides free of charge (‘Free Edition’) constitutes an agreement between the IEA and the User and the User’s acceptance of the following terms and conditions.
Use of the Subscriber Edition OMR Material constitutes an agreement between the IEA and the Subscriber/the User as well as the Subscriber’s and each User’s acceptance of the following terms and conditions.
The Terms and Conditions listed here are the only Terms and Conditions of use that relate to the OMR Material. Therefore, the IEA’s general terms and conditions for other IEA publications or website materials do not apply.
The User and, additionally in the case of the Subscriber Edition, the Subscriber, is responsible for any breach of copyright committed by the User accessing the OMR Material.
Portions of the OMR Material may contain material copyrighted by a third party. If the User/the Subscriber wishes to reproduce any such material, it must obtain the necessary permission from the copyright owner.
Copying, reproduction, modification, translation, alteration, amendment or disassembly work of OMR Material are not permitted without the prior written consent of the IEA, except as set out below (see articles 9 & 16), and subject to articles 7 & 8. Persons seeking the IEA’s prior written consent for other proposed copying, reproduction, modification, translation, alteration, amendment or disassembly work of any OMR Material should complete an IEA Permission Request Form.
Notwithstanding any use permitted in accordance with article 6 and those articles referred to therein, without prior written permission from the IEA, Subscribers/Users:

cannot sell, barter or otherwise profit financially from the distribution of, or provision of access to, copies of the OMR Material, or part thereof where such part represents more than 15% of any single edition of OMR Material;
cannot store any OMR Material in a shared electronic archive or database; and
cannot use OMR Material to compile historical (i.e., involving data from more than one OMR Material publication) compilations or analyses other than for internal use.

If the User/the Subscriber has the right to reproduce certain portions of the OMR Material in accordance with these Terms and Conditions of use, the User/Subscriber must ensure that the relevant material is correctly attributed to the IEA, mentions the title and date of the publication and includes a notation that the OMR Material is copyrighted by the OECD/IEA (i.e., © OECD/IEA, Oil Market Report [date of publication]).

B. Additional terms and conditions of use for the Free Edition (for OMR Material available free on the IEA OMR public website)

Exceptions to the prohibition on copying/reproduction in article 6: Subject to articles 5, 7 and 8, above, Users can reproduce the following from the Free Edition Oil Market Report or Free Edition OMR Material without the prior written permission of the IEA:
- any and all tables, graphs and figures (excluding Table 13 to which article 5 applies), provided:
  
  i. that such tables are reproduced in their entirety without alteration; and
  ii. that no more than 3 tables are published at one time in any publication or website;
- up to 15% of the text of a report (not including data, graphs and figures etc); and
- (once the Subscriber Edition becomes the Free Edition) material reproduced in accordance with article 16 (previously only applicable to Authorised Users of the Subscriber Edition).
A User may make the link to the IEA OMR public website on the User’s intranet or website.

C. Additional terms and conditions of use for the Subscriber Edition (i.e., any OMR Material that is not available on the IEA OMR public website)

For the purposes of this section C of the Terms and Conditions, the term 'Organisation' does not extend to affiliates, subsidiaries, or sister or parent companies.

Single-user and multi-user subscriptions are available for the Subscriber Edition OMR Material.
A Registered User is an individual who is authorised to access the Subscription Edition OMR Material following payment, by the Subscriber, of the subscription fees (which vary according to the number of Registered Users). For example, if a Subscriber purchases a multi-user licence for 2-5 users, the Subscriber can designate up to 5 individuals within the Subscriber’s Organisation as Registered Users.
Authorised Users include Registered Users, certain representatives of IEA Member country governments and other IEA Authorised recipients.
Authorised Users of the Subscriber Edition OMR Material are not permitted, under any circumstances, to distribute copies of, or password(s) for, the Subscriber Edition OMR Material outside their Organisation, including to clients, consultants or other third parties.
Once the Subscriber Edition is posted on the IEA OMR public website it becomes the Free Edition and the Terms and Conditions of use for the Free Edition apply.
Exceptions to the prohibition on copying/reproduction in article 6: Subject to articles 5, 7 and 8, above, Authorised Users can reproduce the following from the Subscriber Edition of the Oil Market Report / Subscriber Edition OMR Material without the prior written permission of the IEA:

data from Table 1 (‘World Oil Supply and Demand’) in the rows entitled OECD Demand, Non-OECD Demand, Total World Demand, Non-OPEC Supply, OPEC Supply, Total Supply, Total Stock Changes and Miscellaneous, Miscellaneous to Balance, Call on OPEC Crude and Stock Changes;
up to 15% of the data points from any of the Tables 2 to 15 (excluding Table 13 to which article 5 applies) of a report and any of the tables appearing in the body of a report for the purpose of preparing a comparative study; and
provided the information does not contain material belonging to a third party, all or part of the Highlights section, the market overview and any of the graphs or figures (provided such graphs or figures are reproduced in their entirety without alteration) in the Oil Market Report or other OMR Material or on the oil market report website.

Single-user subscription:

A single-user subscription may be held by an individual or an entity. It permits the following use of the OMR Material, without the IEA’s prior written permission:

a) Paper copy: A single-user subscription allows the Subscriber to:

circulate the original paper issue or one print-out of the PDF version of the OMR Material within the Subscriber’s Organisation; and
store the original paper issue of the OMR Material and use it for consultation purposes (i.e. in the Subscriber's library).

b) Electronic copy: The Registered User only may access the OMR Material online, if available, via the password-protected IEA OMR website by using the password provided to the Subscriber by the IEA. The PDF version cannot be published on the intranet or circulated or redistributed electronically inside or outside the Subscriber’s Organisation.

Multi-user subscription:

A multi-user subscription is held by an entity who may designate a certain number of individuals within the Subscriber’s Organisation as Registered Users (in accordance with the licence purchased from the IEA). For example, if a Subscriber purchases a multi-user licence for 2-5 Users, the Subscriber can designate up to 5 individuals within the Subscriber’s Organisation as Registered Users. It permits the following use of the OMR Material, without the IEA’s prior written permission:

a) Paper copy: A multi-user subscription allows the Subscriber to:
- make copies and circulate the paper issue or print-outs of the OMR Material within the Subscriber’s Organisation. Except as provided below, the number of copies is limited to the number of Registered Users;
- if the licence is for more than 10 Users, the Subscriber may make as many copies as desired for internal use only within the Subscriber’s Organisation.
b) Electronic copy: A multi-user subscription allows the Subscriber to:
- receive from the IEA, password(s) for use by Registered Users only for access to the OMR Material online via the password-protected IEA OMR website;
- if the licence is for more than 10 Users, the Subscriber may make available the current PDF version only on the Subscriber’s intranet and/or make the link to the IEA OMR website available to employees on the Subscriber’s intranet.
Notwithstanding the above, the Subscriber/User is not permitted to make the OMR Material available to clients, consultants or to any other third parties, not even via the Subscriber’s intranet.
