This English translation is provided for information purposes only. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the English translation and the original Norwegian text, the Norwegian text shall prevail.

This means, among other things, that DMF must be acknowledged in all contexts where the products or extracts thereof are used. This applies, for example, to applications, web solutions, printed materials, illustrations, or other forms of  use, with attrinbution provided as follows: © DMF. Where possible, a link to DMF’s website must also be included. External documents available for download through DMF’s map solution must be credited to the original source.

DMF’s free products are distributed “as is”. DMF accepts no liability for their use or reuse.

Reservations are made for possible errors and omissions in the maps and documents made available for download. For example, there may be extraction sites missing from the extraction map. With regard to maps showing operating licences, these represent licences persuant to the Minerals Act.

Detailed information and terms related to each individual map service are described in the data sheets available in the map catalogue on Geonorge.

If you discover any errors in our maps, we kindly ask you to notify us via the “Contact us” form in the map solution.

The provisions set out in the Geodata Act, along with its regulations and associated guidelines, shall apply unless otherwise specified.
