The other sections of this Terms of Use webpage continue to apply. By searching, accessing, or using any of the records in LAC collections, you are agreeing to be bound by these terms.</p> <p>You understand and acknowledge that certain information that is contained in LAC collections is generated by third parties and not by LAC. Some of the digitized images have been transcribed, tagged, translated, or described by third parties using Co-Lab, a crowdsourcing tool made available to members of the public by LAC. Public Research Lists is another crowdsourcing tool made available by LAC that allows third parties to generate and share lists of items from our collection on a specific theme or topic, alongside third party generated information including the name of the list, tags, topics, and description. These crowdsourcing tools are intended to improve your experience by making LAC records easier to search.</p> <p>To the extent possible, LAC marks and categorizes the content that includes information generated by a third party. You may choose not to use the marked content that contains crowdsourced information. For example, if you do not wish to review records in your search results that contains Co-lab contributions from third parties (marked with a blue tag icon), you can use the search filters to hide the records that contain these contributions.</p> <p>You acknowledge that LAC does not review all information generated by third parties in the LAC collections and that you are solely responsible for your use of this third party information. <b>You agree that in no event will the Crown be liable to you or anyone else for any loss that is experienced as a result of your reliance on the accuracy, completeness or currency of the information generated by third parties in the collections</b>. </p> <p>If you see information generated by a third party that contains inappropriate language that you think LAC should review, please contact us: <a href="mailto:reference@bac-lac.gc.ca">reference@bac-lac.gc.ca</a>. Please include as much detail as possible about the language that requires our attention, such as the archival reference number or permalink to the record. </p> <p>You understand that any views or opinions that may be expressed in the information generated by third parties in the LAC collections are not reflective of the view of the Government of Canada and LAC is not endorsing any information generated by a third party, even if LAC has reviewed and allowed that specific information to be public. </p> <h3 class="h4">Harmful language and historical advisories.</h3> <p>Please read the notice about <a href="/eng/pages/notices-collection.aspx">historical language</a> in LAC’s collection. </p> <details> <summary> <h3>Contributing content on My Shared Research Lists or Co-Lab</h3> </summary> <p>The following section applies to your use of LAC’s crowdsourcing tools, including My Shared Research Lists and Co-Lab. The other sections of this Terms of Use webpage continue to apply. </p> <p>My Shared Research Lists is a crowdsourcing tool that allows you to share lists of items from our collection on a specific theme or topic, alongside additional information you may produce, including the name of the list, tags, topics, and description. Co-lab is a crowdsourcing tool that allows you to transcribe, tag, translate or describe digitized images in the LAC collections. Each time you submit a new public contribution through My Shared Research Lists or Co-Lab, you agree to be bound by these terms when you submit the contribution. If you do not wish to be bound by these terms, you must not submit a contribution; you will be unable to publish contributions through LAC’s crowdsourcing tools.</p> <p>For the purpose of the terms in this section, “content” means any written text that you contribute through our crowdsourcing tools, whether you contribute original text or you revise the text of a third party. This text includes but is not limited to: list names, tags, descriptions, transcriptions, and titles.</p> <h4>Restrictions</h4> <p>The content you contribute to the LAC collections <b>must not</b>:</p> <ul> <li>include personal information, other than personal information directly related to the contents of a historical record</li> <li>include protected or classified information belonging to the Government of Canada</li> <li>infringe intellectual property or proprietary rights</li> <li>be racist, hateful, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or defamatory, or contain or refer to obscenity or pornography</li> <li>be threatening, violent, intimidating or harassing</li> <li>be contrary to any Canadian federal, provincial or territorial laws</li> <li>constitute impersonation, advertising or spam</li> <li>encourage or incite criminal activity</li> <li>be written in a language other than English, French, unless the language is directly related to the contents of the historical record</li> <li>otherwise violate these Terms of Use</li> </ul> <h4 id="review-examen">Content review by LAC</h4> <p>LAC reserves the right to review any content you contribute through My Shared Research Lists or Co-Lab, either before or after the content is published on the LAC collections, to ensure that the content is compliant with these Terms of Use. If LAC undertakes review of your content prior to publication, this may result in a delay in your content being published; LAC provides no guarantees on the length of time LAC will require to complete a review of your content.</p> <p>Following review, LAC may decide, at its sole discretion and without prior notice to you, to revise or remove your content from the LAC collections, in the following circumstances:</p> <ul> <li>if LAC determines that your content is not compliant with the Restrictions outlined above</li> <li>if LAC considers the inclusion of your content in the LAC records to be contrary to the principles of the <cite>Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the Constitution Act, 1982</cite></li> <li>if LAC determines that your content includes errors, inaccuracies, incomplete information, or information that is not relevant to the records or the LAC collections</li> </ul> <p>Where LAC deems it appropriate, in addition to revising or removing your content, LAC may also suspend or terminate your access to the crowdsourcing tools through your MyAccount. In such cases, LAC will notify you when this action has been taken, and will provide a reason for the decision.</p> <p>You understand that any decision by LAC to allow your content to be published does not prevent LAC from reviewing the content again in accordance with these Terms of Use. You also understand that, even if LAC reviews your content and allows it to be published in the LAC collections, the Government of Canada and LAC do not endorse any views or opinions you include in the content you contribute.</p> <h4>Content review by third parties</h4> <p>Some of LAC’s crowdsourcing tools have a peer review function that allows third party crowdsource contributors the ability to revise and remove your content, without notice, with the goal of ensuring accuracy and relevance of the completed information on the LAC collections. LAC is not responsible for decisions made by third parties to revise or remove your content, nor will LAC be responsible for making available to you any previous versions of content that contain your contributions.</p> <h4>Copyright assignment and waiver of moral rights</h4> <p>To the extent that copyright may exist and subject to these Terms of Use, you hereby grant to His Majesty the King a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, sublicensable, fully transferable licence to reproduce, display, distribute, translate, modify, and create derivative works of any works contained in the content you contribute though My Shared Research Lists and Co-Lab.
