All accounts must be registered with a valid personal email address that you access regularly so that moderation emails can be sent to you. Accounts registered with someone else's email address, or with temporary email addresses may be closed without notice. We may require users to re-validate their account if we believe they have been using an invalid email address.

(iii) Online safety:

We advise that you never reveal any personal information about yourself or anyone else (for example: full name, telephone number, postal address, home address or email address or any other details that would allow you to be personally identified) in any Tate community.

• You may not submit or share any defamatory or illegal material of any nature in tate.org.uk communities. This includes text, graphics, video, programmes or audio-visual material.
• Contributing material to a Tate community with the intention of committing or promoting an illegal act is strictly prohibited.
• You agree to submit to or share with Tate communities only contributions which are your own original work. You must not violate, plagiarise, or infringe the rights of Tate or third parties including copyright, trade mark, trade secrets, privacy, publicity, personal or proprietary rights.

(v) Under 18s:

We are concerned about the safety of all users of tate.org.uk but children in particular require special considerations. Parents and legal guardians who allow their children to participate in Tate Communities must supervise their children’s online activity. We remind parents and legal guardians that it is their responsibility to determine whether or not particular areas of the website are suitable for children.

We remind children to never reveal any personal information about yourself or any one else, including photographs of yourself, the name and address of your school, your telephone number, your full name, home address, postal address or email address to the online Tate Community.

(vi) If you breach these community rules:

Tate reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to our online services or any aspect of them if you fail to comply with the Community Rules or we have reasonable grounds to believe you are likely to breach them.

If you submit or share any offensive or inappropriate content to or with any Tate communities or anywhere else on tate.org.uk or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on tate.org.uk, and Tate considers such behaviour to be serious and/or repeated, Tate may use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop any further such infringements. This may include informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school or email provider about the infringement(s).

Tate reserves the right to delete any contribution, or take action against any Tate account, at any time, for any reason.

Tate would usually regard the following uses of Tate imagery as non-commercial activity:

• Use in free educational lectures and classes;
• Use on an individual or group’s website discussing the artwork in question;
• Use on websites that are primarily information-led, research-oriented and obviously non-commercial in nature, for example the William Blake Archive and Wikipedia;
• Use on personal social media accounts, provided the individual is not promoting themselves commercially.

Statutory exceptions to copyright also apply in certain situations. It is the user’s responsibility to satisfy themselves that an exception (such as fair dealing criticism and review, quotation, or reporting a current event) applies.

Creative Commons defines commercial use as “reproducing a work in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or monetary compensation”.

As well as obviously commercial activities such as merchandise production, use of Tate images editorially in films and on TV, in publications that are sold, in advertisements and commercial promotions, Tate would usually regard the following uses of Tate imagery as commercial activity:

• Use online or in print by commercial organisations, including (for the avoidance of doubt) trading arms of charities;
• Use on an individual’s website in such a way that adds value to their business, or for promotional purposes, or where offering a service to third parties;
• Use of images by university presses in publications online or in print;
• Use in publicity and promotional material connected with commercial events;
• Unsolicited use of images by news media, including front covers and centre-page spreads;
• Use in compilations of past examination papers;
• Use by commercial galleries and auction houses.

Under charity law, conflicts can arise when one charity is seen as assisting another. Therefore Tate needs to treat other charities (and their trading arms) as if they were ‘commercial’ organisations.

Tate is committed to providing online access to as many of the works in its collection and Archive as possible, via the Tate website.

Tate actively develops agreements with copyright holders and other licensing agents for the artists they represent. Whilst these agreements enable Tate to illustrate artworks, the permissions do not extend to any other party, unless specified.

However, many artworks are readily available as reproductions:

• To view free online at Art & artists
• To purchase as postcards and posters at Tate shop
• To order as framed prints
• To license, purchase and download high-resolution digital files for commercial use at Tate Images
• Commercial enquiries about other Tate content (e.g. text, video or design work) should be emailed to content.licenses@tate.org.uk

Please note that the further reproduction of artworks, or any other images or content, made available by Tate may constitute an infringement of copyright. It is therefore your responsibility to investigate and obtain permission from copyright holders or their agents before publishing such content.
