Partner Contract Overviews

Under the terms of the Framework Contract (Partners), Licence Partners may only create and licence products and services for use within defined Contracts, under rights that are constrained by that contract. 

Ordnance Survey has defined a number of Contracts in response to demand from partners.  Ordnance Survey will consider defining other Contracts as market needs require.

Currently we have Contracts available for:

This contract sets out the terms by which partners can resell Ordnance Survey data for an end user's own business use, meaning the internal administration and operation of their business. The terms mirror those of our Framework Contract (Direct Customers) including the newly added Free to use data terms.

This contract is designed to meet the needs of partners providing consumer services via the internet, mobile phones, and/or devices such as PCs’ in the form of a Leisure Product or a standard On-Demand Service.

This contract covers electronic products and/or services in the form of a Software Package or an On-Demand Service that enables users to select a route and reach their destination by receiving automatically updated step-by-step instructions based on their navigation devices position and movement throughout the journey.

This contract covers the use of Licensed Data to create paper products whose primary purpose is for use as a map. The products may either be printed onto paper or made available in an electronic raster format and not geo referenced. 

This contract enables an end user to view Licensed Data that is hosted remotely. It also enables Licensed Data made available as part of a hosted service or software package to be used for the purposes of tracking and/or scheduling. Tracking in this context means locating and/or monitoring the movements of a transponder. Scheduling means pre-planning the movements of an object and/or obtaining instructions on how to get to, or route to, a destination.

The following overviews relate to Specific Use Contracts that continue to be available to partners under the Specific Use Framework Partner Licence Terms.

A dataset created by a Partner, using or which contains OS MasterMap® Topography Layer Hydrology Theme but no other Ordnance Survey data.

A partner - created dataset that utilises Ordnance Survey data in part only.  The derived data may be in the form of points, polygons or height grids.

The provision of a service through a partner’s website whereby developers can access and use the partner’s API (application programming interface) and/or the Open Space API for the purpose of creating web applications for delivery to end-users.
