Applying For Rights & Permissions

Photocopying Requests

If you wish to copy, photocopy, or in any way reproduce any part of the material in Oxford books – whether it be text, illustrations, diagrams or graphics - you must apply for permission to do so. This is so that you comply with the provisions of the Copyright Act and ensure that the authors of Oxford books receive the revenue due to them for their intellectual property.

Oxford uses DALRO to administer requests for photocopying. DALRO is The Dramatic Artists' and Literary Rights Organisation.

If you want to copy parts of Oxford books, you must obtain a licence. To do this:

• Fill in the attached form (the Photocopying Request Form)
• Send it to DALRO

DALRO contact details:

• Email dalro@dalro.co.za
• Fax +27 (0)8 6658 6299
• Telephone 086 12 DALRO or +27 (0)11 712 8000
• Postal address: P.O. Box 31627, Braamfontein, 2017

DALRO will then advise you if the amount you wish to copy is permissible, and quote you the charge for doing so. You will receive confirmation in writing.

If the material is not the copyright of Oxford University Press Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd, DALRO is mandated by most publishers and authors worldwide to administer their reprographic reproduction rights and issue licences.

Permissions Requests

If you wish to use an extract from an Oxford title in another publication, you will need to apply for permission.

• To do so, please fill in the attached Permissions Request Form

Then return it to us via our website, or as follows:

Email it to permissions.za@oup.com

Fax it to +27 (021) 596 1234 for the attention of The Permissions Officer.

Please check that Oxford University Press SA is the original copyright holder of the extract or work you wish to use, as we may not be, even if the book was originally published by us.

This is particularly the case with anthologies, diagrams, and graphics. In these cases please first check the acknowledgment page (if there is one) or the imprint page before contacting us.

Applying for Foreign rights, Translation rights or Electronic rights

If you wish to obtain rights to publish, display in electronic format or reprint outside southern Africa, or translate a title published by Oxford, you will need to obtain permission to do so.

First, please check that Oxford University Press Southern Africa is in fact the original copyright holder of the work in question by checking the details on the imprint page of the book.

If so, then please complete and submit this Foreign Rights, Electronic Rights, and Translation Rights Request Form.
