Background
- Ordnance Survey is the national mapping agency of Great Britain and as such it is responsible for the official, definitive surveying and topographic mapping of Great Britain.
- Ordnance Survey has created a mapping data application programming interface (called the OpenSpace API) which allows developers to build Web 2.0 applications using Ordnance Survey data. Ordnance Survey is keen for developers to use the OpenSpace API and a feed of Ordnance Survey data to develop experimental, innovative web-based applications using Ordnance Survey's world leading geographical information.
- Ordnance Survey hereby agrees to supply the OpenSpace API to You under the open source licences set out in Schedule 1 of this Agreement.
- Ordnance Survey hereby also agrees to provide You with a unique API key to facilitate access to and use of a range of Ordnance Survey mapping datasets for non-commercial experimentation, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.
It is agreed as follows:

Schedule 2 Usage limits
- A single API key shall be able to access up to 30 000 tiles in a given twenty-four (24) hour period. Depending on the dataset accessed, tiles may be either 200 x 200 or 250 x 250 pixels in size.
- A single API key shall be able to make up to 1000 requests to the Gazetteer Service in a given twenty-four (24) hour period.

For the express avoidance of doubt, You may not create a Web Application which directly or indirectly enables any End‑user to increase the number of tiles accessible beyond that stated at paragraph 1 of this Schedule 2. Only one (1) API Key shall be used per Web Application.
Schedule 3 End‑user licence agreement
The following text shall be seen by a End‑user when a hyperlink entitled 'EULA' appears on Ordnance Survey Data.
Your use of the Web Application is governed by an agreement between 'you' and the Developer. We shall refer to this as the EULA. The terms and conditions below form part of the EULA. Please read the terms and conditions below and ensure that you have understood them. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please forthwith cease use of the Web Application, including the Ordnance Survey Data.
Background
- Ordnance Survey is the national mapping agency of Great Britain and as such it is responsible for the official, definitive surveying and topographic mapping of Great Britain.
- Ordnance Survey has created a mapping data application programming interface (called the OpenSpace API) which allows developers to build experimental, innovative web-based applications using Ordnance Survey's world leading geographical information, for non commercial purposes.
- The Developer has created a Web Application using the OpenSpace API. The Web Application consists of, and allows you to access and use, Ordnance Survey mapping via the use of a unique API key embedded in the Web Application.
- This EULA governs your use of the Ordnance Survey mapping and related services provided by Ordnance Survey through the delivery of the Web Application. The terms of this EULA do not cover the Web Application itself or any content/data of the Developer or third parties.
