<p align="justify"><strong><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Please note that registration with the UKDFD is for the sole purpose of recording small finds of the type typically made by metal-detectorists. It is unnecessary to register unless you intend to record your finds, as all the recorded information is publicly accessible on the database. UKDFD will take measures to restrict registration to bona fide recorders.</font><font size="3" color="red" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font></strong></p>

<p align="justify"><font size="3" color="#071d3f" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">3. Uploading of Data<br>
<br>
3.1. You may only record finds made within the United Kingdom, and of the type typically found by metal-detectorists. Any other data (images and text) that are uploaded to the database will be removed. You should also be aware that certain finds, as a result of their frequency and/or minimal potential contribution to knowledge, are not eligible for recording on the UKDFD website. Detailed guidance on eligibility of items can be found <a class="classlinkbody" href="guidelines.html#eligible">here</a>.<br>
<br>
3.2. You warrant that all legal requirements relating to your finds have been fulfilled prior to uploading to the UKDFD website. Particular attention in this respect is drawn to the fact that the legal requirements for reporting finds differ in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Wales is subject to the same laws as England. Further information can be found at <a class="classlinkbody" href="http://www.finds.org.uk/treasure/treasure_summary.php" target="_blank">finds.org.uk</a> (England and Wales), <a class="classlinkbody" href="http://www.treasuretrovescotland.co.uk/" target="_blank">treasuretrovescotland.co.uk</a> (Scotland) and: <a class="classlinkbody" href="http://www.ehsni.gov.uk/" target="_blank">ehsni.gov.uk</a> (Northern Ireland).</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="3" color="#071d3f" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">3.3. You warrant that you are not infringing the copyrights of any third party in respect of the images or other data that you upload to the UKDFD website.<br>
<br>
3.4. You grant UKDFD a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free and sub-licensable licence to exercise your copyright in the information that you upload to the UKDFD website.

<br>
3.5. You are not able to edit or delete your records once they have been uploaded. On their validation, records are placed on the public database, to which users have read-only access. Records on the public database are permanent, and their removal, or any change to them, is solely at the discretion of UKDFD.<br>
<br>
3.6. You accept that UKDFD may remove any images or data uploaded to the UKDFD website that fail to meet the required standards of quality. Information regarding quality requirements can be found in the <a class="classlinkbody" href="guidelines.html">Guidelines for Recording</a>.<br>
