The information on the Indonesian Heritage Society website may not be retransmitted or reproduced in any form without permission. This information has been compiled from sources which we, the Indonesian Heritage Society and volunteers related to this site, believe to be reliable. While reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the facts are accurate and up-to-date, opinions and commentary are fair and reasonable, we accept no responsibility for them.

The information contained does not make any recommendation upon which you can rely without further personal consideration and is not an offer or a solicitation to buy any products or services from us.

Opinions and statements constitute the judgment of the contributors to this open forum at the time the information was written and may change without notice.

Image guidelines
Images and photographs, like written works, are subject to copyright. Someone owns them unless they have been explicitly placed in the public domain. Images on the internet need to be licensed directly from the copyright holder or someone able to license on their behalf. In some cases, fair use guidelines may allow a photograph to be used.

Contributors' Rights and Obligations
If you contribute material to the Indonesian Heritage Society, you thereby license it to the public. In order to contribute, you therefore must be in a position to grant this license, which means that either you own the copyright to the material or acquired it from a source that allows the licensing. When you own the copyright, you retain copyright to your materials. You can later republish and re-license them in any way you like.

Using Copyrighted Work from Others
If you use part of a copyrighted work under ‘fair use ‘, or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates). It is our goal to be able to freely redistribute as much of the Indonesian Heritage Society s material as possible, so original images and sound files in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use.
Never use materials that infringe the copyrights of others. If in doubt, write it yourself. Note that copyright law governs the creative expression of ideas, not the ideas or information themselves. Therefore, it is perfectly legal to read an encyclopedia article or other work, reformulate it in your own words, and submit it to the Indonesian Heritage Society.

Linking to Copyrighted Works
Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. Linking to a site that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on the Indonesian Heritage Society.

If You Find a Copyright Infringement
If you suspect that someone’s copyright has been infringed, you should draw it to the attention of the webmaster at webmaster@heritagejkt.org. Upon investigation, all infringing content will be removed. If you are the owner of Indonesian Heritage Society -hosted content which was used without your permission, you may request the page to be immediately removed from the Indonesian Heritage Society website by writing to us at webmaster@heritagejkt.org. It may take up to a week for the page to be deleted. Please provide some evidence to support your claim of ownership.
