Copyright, Fair Dealing, Trademarks & Notice Policy

Last Reviewed: 14 November 2026 • Legal Framework: Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (United Kingdom)

1. UK Fair Dealing & Public-Interest Utility Telemetry

Under Section 30 of the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA 1988) governing fair dealing for the purpose of reporting current events, together with descriptive honest-practices provisions under Section 10(6) and Section 11(2) of the UK Trade Marks Act 1994, company, network operator, utility, bank, school portal and broadband ISP names appear on UKOutage strictly to identify the relevant third-party services whose operational status, geographic service areas or statutory consumer-compensation entitlements are being reported.

UKOutage claims no proprietary rights over third-party corporate trade marks, brand logos or statutory regulator marks (including Ofgem, Ofcom, Ofwat, NESO and Met Office designations), which remain the exclusive property of their respective proprietors. Appearance on UKOutage does not imply sponsorship, endorsement or commercial affiliation.

2. Open Government Licence (OGL v3.0) & Public Open Data Attribution

Several underlying public datasets integrated into UKOutage—including Environment Agency real-time flood warning boundaries, UK ONS postcode sector reference tables, National Energy System Operator (NESO) carbon-intensity streams, Transport for London (TfL) Unified API data and DNO OpenDataSoft public fault feeds—are published under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (nationalarchives.gov.uk) or respective public open-data licences. Where required, UKOutage acknowledges upstream public data origins across documentation, category pages and attribution footers.

3. Original UKOutage Content & Editorial Ownership

Original survival handbooks, visual illustrations, custom PHP/JavaScript diagnostic tools, source code, aggregated database architectures and design tokens published on ukoutage.co.uk constitute original copyright works protected under UK copyright law. Individual non-commercial linking, brief fair-dealing quotations with visible attribution back to ukoutage.co.uk, and council/parish integration via our Embeddable Widget are expressly permitted. Unauthorised bulk republication of full guide texts or scraper mirroring is prohibited.

4. Submitting a Copyright, Trademark or Defamation Notice
