Terms here are for consultation. Seek qualified legal advice before relying on them. Register interest in governance updates.

Privacy

This page covers landscapearchive.org — the public home of the TLA-185 / TLA-169 specification. Commercial products, billing, and subscriber library access are operated by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd.

Member sign-in on this site uses the existing Landscape Archive account. There is no second password store for the Foundation site.

What this site collects

Open specification pages, the field registry, draft dictionary, public validator, Evidence Checker, and Field Notes are readable without an account.

When you send a volunteer application, director expression of interest, term proposal, or draft consultation, we receive the name, email, organisation, and written material you submit so the Archive desk can review it.

If you sign in, the Foundation site confirms your existing Landscape Archive session through the identity bridge. That session is the same account used for web Accounts, Landscape Archive Tools, the Revit connector / Hub tray, and organisation seats.

How information is used

Enquiry forms are review channels. They do not create a commercial licence, a director appointment, or a public listing.

A signed-in session lets the Foundation site show member programme pages that already belong to your Archive account. It does not create a separate Foundation login.

Binding privacy terms for Archive products, billing, and desktop tools are published by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd.

The Landscape Archive Foundation is stewarded and powered by The Landscape Vault Pty Ltd, the IP holding company that owns the underlying software and holds the public TLA-185 / TLA-169 specification copyright. The Foundation is not yet incorporated as an independent entity; copyright is intended for assignment to it once a suitable independent entity is established. If and when incorporated, the Foundation remains a separate non-commercial steward of the open specification, not an industry association or professional institute. Commercial products and support are operated by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd.

The Landscape Archive, Archive Studio+, TLA-185, the plant catalogue, and Landscape Archive Planting Factory are authored by The Landscape Archive.

TLA-185 is authored by Mark Norlan Laririt, founder of The Landscape Archive.

Intellectual property in this work is held by The Landscape Vault Pty Ltd and commercially licensed by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd. It is not the property of any professional institute, association, or working group.

Use of TLA-185 beyond the published Creative Commons citation of the open grammar, and use of compiled plant kits, Library fill, and Studio+ catalogue models, is by licence or purchase. Implementing TLA-VIS under CC BY 4.0 grants no right to those Archive packages. Citation, contribution, implementation, or institutional interest does not assign ownership.

Made in Australia. The open TLA-185 standard is international; landscapearchive.com.au is the live commercial hub; additional regional hubs are planned and not live until published. We do not claim ownership of landscapearchive.com.
