Agreement. Whereas the USGS and TWC wish to promote sharing of data and leveraging of expertise, the parties agree to the following: As part of its programming, TWC may, when USGS determines it is appropriate, use certain USGS data and products. When using each other’s products, each party will give appropriate attribution to the other party. Appropriate attribution is a verbal or written citation of the source or provider of the data. An organizational or company logo attached to a product does not, in and of itself, constitute appropriate attribution. In giving attribution, TWC will not do so in such a way as to imply any official USGS endorsement of TWC services and/or products. The USGS may include a disclaimer that attribution to TWC does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. The parties may request that certain data and products be made available for use within operations. When both parties agree to such exchanges: 1) Each party will provide technical descriptions of format and content of the products or data. The technical description may be in the form of an interface specification document. 2) The organization providing the data or products will notify the other of any possible changes in format or content as soon as possible. TWC and the USGS will cooperate, as appropriate, to make products and services available for humanitarian relief efforts as a result of natural disasters. General Provisions. Both parties agree that: Because the USGS is restricted from showing preferential treatment to a specific private company, it must make available the data, products, or services it provides to TWC to any other firms upon request. There will be nothing in any program, announcement, or release that constitutes an endorsement, express or implied, by the USGS of TWC and/or any commercial products it advertises.
