CaMa-Flood Terms and Conditions
Model Usage Rules
Access to and use of the Catchment-based Macro-scale Floodplain model (CaMa-Flood) is provided subject to the terms and conditions. PLEASE READ BELOW CAREFULLY AS USE OF THE DATA CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
Terms and Conditions
1. PROPERTY RIGHT
CaMa-Flood (v3.6) is a property of Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and the University of Tokyo (U-Tokyo).
2. CHARGE AND PURPOSE
CaMa-Flood is provided for free of charge, only for non-commertial academic purposes (research and education). Permission is needed if CaMa-Flood is used for other purposes (e.g. commercial use).
3. DISCLAIMER
CaMa-Flood is provided 'AS IS', without warranties of any kind. JAMSTEC&U-Tokyo can not take any responsibilities that may be caused by the use of CaMa-Flood.
4. REDISTRIBUTION
Redistribution of CaMa-Flood is strictly prohibited.
5. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CITATION
Please use the below journal papers to cite/refer the CaMa-Flood database.
Citation to the paper is adequate if you simply use the model. If you asked additional help for setting up/runnning the model, proper acknowledgement or co-authorship is recommended.
