Subscription
Licence
Subscribing to a NATSPEC specification package and/or purchasing a single worksection will license you to reproduce the material in specifications during the subscription period. At all times, ownership of all information and material supplied by NATSPEC remains with NATSPEC.
This licence only extends to specifications produced in your office for projects on which you are engaged to produce the specification and either the drawings or the bill of quantities. You may not use it to provide a commercial specification preparation service, or for any other purpose, unless NATSPEC has given approval in writing.
If you have more than one office you must have a subscription for each office that is using NATSPEC material. Note: For multi-office organisations that have a single office preparing specifications, it is required that each office subscribe to NATSPEC. This allows us, as a not-for-profit organisation, to more equitably share the costs across the whole industry.
NATSPEC material may not be placed on an organisation's national server unless all Australian offices listed on the organisation's website are subscribers to NATSPEC.
Term of Subscription
NATSPEC subscriptions run for a minimum of two years. After the first year of subscription a renewal invoice will be issued for the part-calendar-year bringing the subscription to the common renewal date of 1 January.
Termination
After the initial period a subscription to a NATSPEC package will continue until either party cancels it in writing. Payment will be required to the end of the calendar year. Once the subscription is terminated all copies of our material must be destroyed and no new specifications may be developed using all or part NATSPEC material.
