It is common for intranet sites to contain terms and conditions
of access. Sometimes it is
necessary to agree to the terms and conditions each time the site is entered; other sites require
agreement to terms and conditions when log-in details are first issued. It is not uncommon for
these terms and conditions to allow only one copy to be created upon uploading of the intranet
pages for viewing, and to prohibit further copying or any other use of the material contained within
the intranet site.
It is also not uncommon for terms and conditions to contain
statements that the site owner does
not accept any liability for wrongful use of the material contained on the site.
If an intranet site contains material without the author’s
permission (because the copyright holder
can not be identified or located) the site should also include a notice stating that the site owner
has
been unsuccessful in identifying or locating the copyright owner and inviting the copyright owner to
contact the site owner.
