1. Purpose

‍This statement sets out Orecast's position on intellectual property (IP) — both in relation to our website and in the context of client engagements.

‍

‍

2. Website content

‍All material published on orecast.com.au is the intellectual property of Orecast or used under licence. This includes:

• The Orecast name and logo.

4. Client engagements

‍Intellectual property arising during a client engagement is addressed in the relevant engagement agreement. As a general principle:

• Orecast retains ownership of its underlying methodologies, tools, model structures, and know-how.
• Clients receive a licence to use bespoke deliverables — including final financial models — for their intended purpose.
• Client data, confidential information, and project-specific inputs remain the property of the client.

Where an engagement involves third-party IP (for example, licensed software, published commodity forecasts), use of that IP is governed by the relevant third-party terms.
