Terms of Use for Datasets

Description

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ strives to enhance public access to and use of data that it collects and publishes. The data are organized in datasets listed in ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Data Catalog (the ¡°Datasets¡±). The Datasets are collections of data, managed by ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ and provided in a number of machine-readable formats. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ provides you with access to the Datasets free of charge subject to the terms of this agreement (these ¡°Dataset Terms¡±), and subject to the general Terms and Conditions for using the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ website, which are incorporated into these Dataset Terms.  Where these Dataset Terms conflict with the general Terms and Conditions, these Dataset Terms shall prevail. Use of data derived from the Datasets, which may appear in formats such as tables and charts, is also subject to these Dataset Terms.
