These terms apply to visitors, readers, subscribers and other users of Orbis Network's publicly accessible material. Additional terms may apply to specific services, subscriptions or commercial arrangements where separately agreed.
Permitted use
You may access, read and share links to publicly available Orbis Network material for personal, educational, research and other lawful purposes, subject to these terms.
You must not use the website or its material for unlawful purposes, attempt to interfere with its operation or security, misrepresent Orbis Network or its publications, or use automated means to extract or reproduce substantial portions of its content without permission.
You must not reproduce, distribute, republish, commercially exploit or create derivative collections of Orbis material beyond what is permitted by applicable law or expressly authorised by Orbis Network.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the content published by Orbis Network, including written analysis, articles, reports, editorial material, graphics, visual identity, design elements and original media, is owned by or licensed to Orbis Network and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Access to the website does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property or grant a general licence to reproduce or commercially use its material.
Third-party names, trademarks, images and materials appearing on the website remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to separate rights and permissions.
Citation and quotation
Orbis Network encourages appropriate reference to its published work. Short quotations may be used where permitted by applicable law, provided that the quotation is accurate, proportionate and accompanied by clear attribution to Orbis Network and, wherever reasonably possible, a link to the original publication.
Attribution does not itself grant permission to reproduce substantial portions of an article, report, publication or other protected material.
Requests for republication, commercial use, translation, syndication, licensing or reproduction beyond ordinary quotation should be directed to Orbis Network for written permission.
Disclaimers
Orbis Network publishes journalism, research, commentary and analysis concerning geopolitics, international affairs, markets, economics and related subjects. Its publications are intended for general informational and analytical purposes.
The material published by Orbis Network does not constitute investment, financial, legal, tax or other professional advice. Readers should exercise their own judgement and seek appropriate independent professional advice before making decisions based on published material.
Analysis, assessments and forward-looking observations reflect the information, evidence and judgement available at the time of publication. Circumstances may change, and Orbis Network does not guarantee that every assessment, projection or interpretation will prove accurate or remain current.
Although reasonable care is taken in preparing published material, Orbis Network does not warrant that all information is complete, error-free or suitable for every individual purpose.
Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Orbis Network shall not be liable for losses arising from reliance on published material, temporary unavailability of the website, technical interruptions or the use of external websites linked from its publications.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law, including liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Governing law
These Terms of Use are intended to be governed by the laws applicable to Orbis Network's operating entity and its place of incorporation, subject to any mandatory consumer protection or other legal requirements that apply in the jurisdiction of the user.
The precise governing law and jurisdiction provisions will be confirmed once Orbis Network's Canadian legal entity has been incorporated and its operating arrangements have been finalised.
Orbis Network may revise these terms from time to time. The current version will be published on this website, and continued use of the website following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.
