☐ Recommended
☐ Not Required

Where credit is requested, the following format may be used:

Metadata supplied with the library is provided for documentation and identification purposes.

Sensitive wildlife-location information may be intentionally omitted or generalised where disclosure could potentially disturb or endanger wildlife.

12. WILDLIFE AND CONSERVATION RECORDINGS

Where recordings contain wildlife, bird, amphibian, insect or other animal sounds, the recordings are intended to document natural acoustic environments and wildlife behaviour.

The Licensee must not use the recordings in a manner that falsely represents staged, captive or manipulated wildlife behaviour.

Where applicable, species identification and location information should be treated as field-recording observations rather than absolute scientific determinations.

13. NO GUARANTEE OF SPECIES IDENTIFICATION

Unless specifically identified and verified by an appropriate expert, species names, behavioural descriptions and other biological information supplied with a recording are provided as field observations or best-effort identifications.

The Licensor does not guarantee scientific accuracy of species identification unless expressly stated.

The recordings should not be used to encourage harmful wildlife interaction, baiting, disturbance or illegal activity.

Custom licenses, commissioned recordings and specially prepared libraries may be non-refundable once production or delivery has commenced.
