The person, institute or organization that contributes a knowledge object to oneFish is deemed either to be the owner or copyright holder of the knowledge object, or to have the permission of the copyright holder to contribute the knowledge object to oneFish. This does not in any way prevent a third party from submitting the details and location of any knowledge object accompanied by their own review, abstract or summary of the knowledge object. If an Editor has any doubt about the ownership or legality of a knowledge object submitted to them, they should seek confirmation from the contributor. If they are still in doubt, they should refer the matter to the Chief Editor. FAO reserves the right to refuse and/or remove any knowledge object from the oneFish Community Directory that have been improperly submitted, or for which there is any doubt about their ownership and/or legality. The ownership of individual oneFish knowledge objects remains with the registered members who have contributed them. It is their responsibility to ensure that the information they contribute is accurate, and to secure and retain any necessary permissions to use copyrighted materials and to link to websites.

When entering information about websites, the contributor should not copy verbatim any titles and descriptions used by other web directories or search engines. They should review each website and construct their own title, short description and review, abstract or summary as required. It is the duty of a topic editor to ensure that these conditions have been adhered to prior to activating the link to the website from oneFish.
