3 Rights and the Nordvision / Nordif3 exchange Exchange programmes The Nordvision collaboration agreement states that partners are given unlimited rights to broadcast programmes offered for regular exchange (Factual screenings, Children s exchange screenings, etc.). Individual programmes might carry restrictions due to rights or sensitive material. Always check the metadata to ensure that no limitations apply before downloading programmes. Rights to VOD will vary from programme to programme, see Chapter for more information. Co-productions and other programmes Rights to co-productions and other programmes should always be stated clearly in the coproduction agreement or in the written agreement between partners.
