Section 25, Paragraph seven of
the Geospatial Information Law

I. General Provisions

1. This Regulation prescribes:

1.1. the requirements which shall be mandatorily indicated by the holder of a geospatial data set (hereinafter - data holder) in the provisions for the use of the geospatial data set (hereinafter - the provisions for the use); and

1.2. the procedures by which a public authority or private individual who needs to use a geospatial data set shall receive a permit from the data holder for the use of the geospatial data set (hereinafter - the permit).

2. This Regulation shall not apply to the following cases:

2.1. if a geospatial data set is used, without downloading it, with such view services available at the National Uniform Geospatial Information Portal (hereinafter - the geoportal) www.geolatvija.lv which make it possible to display, navigate, zoom in and zoom out, pan the viewable geospatial data set, display legend information of the geospatial data set and any relevant content of metadata, but do not allow to overlay the viewable geospatial data set with other geospatial data sets;

2.2. if a geospatial data set is used, without downloading it, with such view services available at the geoportal www.geolatvija.lv which make it possible to overlay the viewable geospatial data sets, and if the data holder has given its consent to the administrator of the geoportal, to include the geospatial data set in such view services.

3. The permit is a licence issued or a licensing agreement concluded within the meaning of the Copyright Law regarding the use of a geospatial data set, which contains provisions for the use specified by the data holder. A public authority or private individual may become a user of a geospatial data set (hereinafter - data user), if they agree with the provisions for the use, by receiving a licence or concluding a licensing agreement. Within the meaning of the licence or licensing agreement, the data holder and data user shall be the licensor and licensee accordingly.

4. This Regulation shall be applied in case of joint use of a geospatial data set or re-use of a geospatial data set.

5. A data user has the right to use a geospatial data set for such purposes only and in such manner only as indicated in the provisions for the use.

6. If a data user is a public authority or private individual employing employees, its duty is to ensure administratively and managerially that all the employees thereof comply with the provisions for the use.
