Terms for local supporters

Access to and use of the brand assets and/or partner tools is permitted to local supporters on the following terms.

By using the marketing campaign brand assets of the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and/or partner tools you agree to be bound by these terms, which shall take effect immediately on your first use of the brand assets and/or tools.

If you do not agree to be bound by all of the following terms, please do not access and/or use the brand assets/tools.

OHID may change these terms from time to time, so you should check these terms every time you access the brand assets and/or toolkits. Your continued use of brand assets and/or tools will be deemed acceptance of the updated or amended terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you should cease using the brand assets and/or tools.

The terms are split into 2 parts: responsibilities of local supporters; and conditions of use of the brand assets/tools.

Responsibilities of local supporters

As part of the Campaign Resource Centre, you agree to:

1. Amplify and extend awareness of the OHID's marketing campaign messages through your own activity.
2. Contribute your unique expertise to the successful development and delivery of the campaign.
3. Support OHID, on request, with feedback or case studies of your campaign activity.
4. Operate in accordance with best practice guidelines or codes of conduct as outlined by the relevant industry bodies, trade associations or professional institutions to which you belong or by which your trade/sector is governed.
5. Support the behaviour-change goals of the campaign, specifically persuading citizens to adopt both a healthier diet and to engage in regular physical activity.
6. Accept that being part of this campaign by no means entitles you to claim that OHID endorses your product(s) or services in any way.

Conditions of use of the brand assets

You are entitled to use the brand assets/tools, provided you agree to:

1. Read and follow the brand guidelines provided on the website.
2. Acknowledge that Government, through OHID, will create, own and retain all rights to a campaign idea, brand and set of creative assets, including key campaign messages.
3. Avoid bringing the campaign into disrepute.
4. Accept that, should disputes arise concerning compliance with the campaign terms for local supporters; the brand guidelines; appropriate use of brand/messaging; or your association with the campaign; these will be adjudicated by OHID's board, which will have final jurisdiction. If OHID requires you to cease your involvement in the campaign, it shall have immediate effect.

If you are a local commercial or profit-making organisation you additionally agree:

• not to use the campaign brand on-pack under any circumstances
• not to use the brand assets on-pack except with the express permission of OHID
• not to use the brand assets or your association with the campaign in any way that could imply or promote false or unsubstantiated health benefits of your own products or services
