All intellectual property rights in the system known as the Infoxchange Service Seeker (ISS) are held by Infoxchange Australia. Such rights will not be transferred to any other organisation that enters into partnerships for updating, adding data to, or using the ISS.

Such other organisations may be granted a licence to use the ISS system, but will not thereby develop any property rights in the system. A licence to use the ISS system will be subject to negotiation regarding annual licence fees.

Any enhancements or modifications made to the ISS during the course of partnerships will become part of the intellectual property rights owned by Infoxchange Australia.

Data already contained in or added to the ISS system is not itself capable of ownership by either Infoxchange Australia or its partners. Such data belongs to the persons or organisations to whom the data relates unless and until those persons or organisations themselves assign ownership to Infoxchange Australia or its partners.

Infoxchange Australia's intellectual property lies in the system of entering, organising, managing, accessing and presenting the data. Adding data to the system does not create new intellectual property.

The ISS system developed by Infoxchange Australia includes all documents, reports, charts, drawings, data bases, software, source codes, models, systems, slides, tapes, disks, style manuals, search thesaurus and specifications. All processes, tools and methodologies prepared or developed by Infoxchange Australia and improvements to those processes, tools and methodologies developed during any partnership with another organisation vest in and are owned by Infoxchange Australia.

Unless given the specific, limited, written approval of Infoxchange Australia, no partner will be granted the right to make changes or assume rights to any of the materials or systems of the ISS.
