WHEREAS
THEREFORE
The Minister of STUFF is authorised to create and enter into licensing agreements with third parties in relation to the operation and control of all national web assets. In these agreements the Ministry of STUFF shall be the licensor and the third party shall be the licensee.
Any web asset that is surplus to requirements may be licenced to a licensee for a particular purpose and, during the term of that licence agreement, the licensee shall have control over the named web asset(s) for the specific purposes as outlined in the agreement.
Licence agreements must also be in place between the Ministry of STUFF and any third party that requests accounts or access to File Transfer Protocol (FTP), database systems, any server level technology (including webhosting control panels), any backend email systems, any subdomain, any domain, any backend dashboards for website installations where such access would give significant levels of control, any social media accounts, and any other internet based system, be it a system wholly owned by the Kingdom or not, where such levels of access is significant.
All licence agreements shall be publicly posted and shall contain the exact terms of agreement and, whenever possible, shall be of a defined term with an expiry date, either fixed or renewable. Upon expiry of a licence agreement that is not being renewed the Ministry of STUFF must ensure that all account accesses relating to the agreement are revoked.
Before a licence agreement can be finalised the licensee must provide a copy of identity documents that must show the legal name and address of the licensee. These documents must be verified by both the Ministry of STUFF and the Chancery.
During the term of a licence agreement the licensee shall not be permitted to transfer the agreement to any other party.
The existence of a licence agreement does not, and cannot, transfer ownership of any web asset.
