Definitions
In this licence, the terms below have the following meanings:
'Information' means information protected by copyright or by database right (for example, literary and artistic works, content, data and source code) offered for use under the terms of this licence.
‘OGA’ means the Oil and Gas Authority, a company incorporated in England and Wales (registered number 09666504) and having its registered office at 21 Bloomsbury Street, London, WC1B 3HF which owns or otherwise has the authority to offer Information under the terms of this licence.

About the OGA Licence
The OGA has developed this licence to license the use and re-use of its Information, that is, information that the OGA owns or otherwise has the right to license in this way. The OGA may also publish information it does not own and may only offer limited use rights in respect of that information. In that situation, this OGA Licence will not apply and the OGA will specify the terms and conditions on which that information may be used, for example, the OGA User Agreement.

This is version 1.0 of the OGA Licence. The OGA may, from time to time, issue new versions of the OGA Licence. If it does so, and you are already using Information under a previous version of the OGA Licence, the terms of that licence will continue to apply.
