Linking to the OECD Website(s)
11. In order to promote its work and because Internet is about linking, the OECD encourages a User who maintains an external website to include hyperlinks to the main OECD website, to any of its satellite website(s) or to any of their pages (collectively "the OECD website(s)"), on that external site without having to ask prior permission, except as limited by section 1 above and under certain conditions listed below.
These hyperlinks must not:
-
infringe OECD's rights, in particular relating to its logo, acronym and intellectual property rights;
-
be used for the promotion of an Organisation or company, or of any commercial products or services.
As a consequence,
-
any link to the OECD website(s) must appear clearly as such, i.e. with the complete and obvious OECD URL;
-
if you link to the OECD website(s), you must refrain from creating frames, or using other visual altering tools, around the OECD pages;
-
any "material" from the OECD website(s) exceeding 400 words should not be uploaded on a website external to the OECD. Permission to make a link to the said material can be granted, on the condition the OECD URL appears clearly, as specified above;
-
it is formally forbidden to make a direct link to the .pdf itself of our publications. Can only be granted a permission to make a link to the presentation page for this publication on the OECD main website ( www.oecd.org) or our Online Bookshop ( www.oecd.org/bookshop), on the condition the OECD URL appears clearly, as specified above;
-
you are asked, as far as they exist, to use the user-friendly URLs that you will find soon under the Site Map to make a link to the OECD website(s);
-
once you have created a link the OECD website(s), please test it to confirm it works and meet the above conditions and then notify us.
For any question about linking to the OECD website, please feel free to contact us, with all the necessary information, by sending an e-mail to the Webmaster account: webmaster@oecd.org.
The OECD Logo
12. The OECD logo should not be associated to any event, product or link to the OECD website(s) without the prior consent of the OECD. Requests for permission to use the OECD logo must be sent to the Webmaster account: webmaster@oecd.org. To be accepted, the request must be justified and be related to a specific event or product the OECD takes part in (conference, co-editions etc.). The OECD logo may be also posted on another website, besides a link to the OECD website(s). The permission is then granted only for this specific event/product or for this specific linking purpose and must not be used for any other purpose or any longer than required for the allowed purpose. Rigourous respect of the OECD corporate identity (in particular of the recommendations concerning colour and language) is required in the use of the logo. Only the most recent version of the OECD logo should be used at all times.
