Linking Policy: terms and conditions of use

We welcome links to this website and ask that you observe the following guidelines:

Do not incorporate any content from this site into your site (e.g., by in-lining, framing or creating other browser or border environments around the content on this website) without specific written permission from UNESCO/WHC. Without such permission, you may only link to, not replicate content.

Unless we enter into a specific written agreement with you, you may not use any UNESCO or World Heritage names, emblems, designs, abstracts or service marks in or with your links, except that you may link to the UNESCO/WHC website using the plain text name of that site or the plain text name of World Heritage Centre. For further information about Partnership development see PACT regulatory framework. For further information about the Rules and Regulations governing the use of the World Heritage emblem please see Operational Guidelines Chapter VIII.

Your site should make every effort not to present false information about UNESCO or World Heritage.

You may not sell, license, or otherwise assign the use of any material from this web site.

Do not present the link to this website in any way which would suggest that UNESCO/WHC has any relationship or affiliation with your site or endorses your site, products or services, unless there is a specific written agreement between our two entities.

Do not use any of UNESCO or World Heritage names, emblems, designs, abstracts or service marks or any other words or codes identifying UNESCO/WHC's web sites in any "metatag" or other information used by search engines or other information location tools to identify and select sites, without UNESCO/WHC's express written permission for a particular use.

Your site should not contain content that could be construed as distasteful, offensive, controversial or that is in any way incompatible with the aims and principles of UNESCO.

UNESCO/WHC controls and operates this web site from UNESCO's headquarters in Paris, France. If you use UNESCO/WHC materials from locations outside of France, you are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws.

UNESCO/WHC may at any time revise these terms and policies. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit this page to review the current version of the Website Terms & Policies.
