All rights are reserved.

Users may:
-
share an ordinary link to a public NHF page;
-
quote a short and relevant passage where permitted by law;
-
refer to NHF content in personal, academic or critical discussion.
Any quotation must reproduce the original accurately, identify the author and Natural Health Fellowship and include a link to the source where reasonably possible.
A quotation must not substitute for the original work, create a misleading impression or suggest endorsement by the author or NHF.

6. Artificial intelligence and text and data mining
Assist – Natural Health Fellowship expressly reserves all rights concerning automated extraction, text and data mining and the use of its protected content for the development, training, fine-tuning, testing, evaluation or operation of artificial-intelligence systems.
Such uses are forbidden without prior written authorisation, except where a mandatory legal exception applies and cannot be reserved.
This reservation applies to texts, images, publications, translations, recordings, patterns, metadata and downloadable materials.
Appropriate machine-readable rights reservations may also be implemented through website metadata and technical access controls.
7. Third-party materials
Some pages may contain quotations, images, research materials or other content belonging to third parties. Their rights remain with their respective owners.
The presence of third-party material on NHF does not authorise users to reproduce it.
Assist seeks to identify sources and use third-party materials lawfully. A rights holder who believes that material has been used incorrectly may contact Assist with sufficient information to identify the work, the relevant page and the asserted right.
Assist will assess the notice and, where appropriate, correct attribution, restrict access or remove the material.
8. Contributions
A contributor retains copyright in original material unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise.
Submission alone does not transfer ownership to Assist. Any permission to edit, translate, publish or distribute a contribution will be defined through an express agreement or authorisation appropriate to the project.
The contributor remains responsible for ensuring that submitted material does not unlawfully reproduce another person’s work.
9. Enforcement and contact
Unauthorised use may result in withdrawal of access, a request to remove the material, a claim for compensation or other action available under applicable law.
