In most cases, you can search through the Assets in the library without registering or logging in. From the home page or Assets page, you can use the search box to search either by keywords (tags), or Asset id (if known). However, by registering and logging in you may be able to find and access Assets that would otherwise not be visible to you, based on your user role and status.
Yes, all users are required to register/login to be able to download any Asset from the Toolkit.
From the home page, click on the ‘login/register' button in the top right corner. From there you need to supply and validate your email address and then set a password and complete your user profile.
Once registered you will be assigned the default user role. To access some Assets and more advanced features you may be granted a different user role by the site Administrators. Alternatively, you may receive an emailed User Invitation with a different user role pre-assigned to you. If you need a different user role, please contact us.
If you have lost your password, you will have to reset it. To do so, click the Forgotten Your Password link on the login form and enter your registered email address (the email you registered on this site with). We'll send you an email with instructions on how to reset your password.
That depends. If the Asset has an Expiry Date (which can be found in the Asset detail page and Licence detail panels when downloading, sharing and sending), you must cease all use of those Assets at the date of expiry. If there is no Expiry Date, then you can use the Asset as long as you like OR until the owner of the IP (in most cases the brand/company/organisation providing it to you) requests that you cease using it.
Some of the videos available are raw footage and do not include a soundtrack. Usually you will see an Audio icon overlay indicating if the video has an Audio track.
Brand identity and logos should never be edited, altered or broken apart. Other Assets should generally not be edited or altered. However if the Licence rules or Usage instructions specifically allow for repurposing or alteration, editing of Assets is permissible.
All assets MUST ONLY be used for the purpose of promoting New Zealand and/or New Zealand products and services offshore. Please refer to asset licence for more information.
That depends. Refer to the License conditions for each individual Asset. If mentioned in Licence conditions “unpaid media only”, the Asset must NOT be used for paid media. However, if the Licence conditions allow for “paid and unpaid digital and print media”, then you can use the Asset in paid media. “Paid” means where payment is (or is agreed to be) received or paid for the marketing activity, and/or media space, and/or advertising space, and/or publication, in which the Asset appears, but excludes tradeshows.
User Roles are used to give Users certain abilities such as the ability to edit meta-data, upload Assets, view private Assets, etc. The public (not yet registered or not logged in) are deemed to be 'Guest' users. All registered users get the role of 'Standard User' by default. If you think you should have a different User Role, please contact us and request a role change.
