NRC Research Press Electronic Journals

1. Rights

NRC Research Press grants the Subscriber and authorized users at the Subscriber's institution the right to access the electronic version of those NRC Research Press journal volumes for which the Subscriber maintains an electronic subscription.

It is a condition of receiving access to the electronic journals that any person who violates either the copyright or the restrictions on distribution, or who condones such acts, may be deprived of future access, including access to back issues, without compensation or refund, while NRC retains the further right to any legal remedies that may be available.

2. Authorized Users

Authorized users are defined as employees, faculty, and students of the Subscriber who access the electronic journals from a computer terminal within the range of the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses provided by the Subscriber at time of purchase. Access to the electronic journal by persons other than those listed above is restricted to the use of a computer terminal located in a Subscriber library.

3. Authorized Site

An authorized site is a contiguous campus community or buildings that are located within the same city and reporting to the same administrative body. Affiliated locations outside of the defined site are considered to be separate sites. Within a multi-company complex or building, each company is considered to be a separate site.

4. Usage Restrictions

The Subscriber and authorized users may view, print, and download single copies of articles or other content for personal use.

The Subscriber and authorized users may not make copies for general distribution, for advertising or other promotional purposes, for creating new collective works, or for any resale purpose such as document delivery. For such copying, separate agreements must be made with the copyright owner. The Subscriber will notify all authorized users of permitted and prohibited use, and the Subscriber will take any corrective action necessary against authorized users who contravene these conditions.

5. Warranty

NRC accepts no responsibility for statements or opinions expressed by a contributor and consequently accepts no liability for damages that may result from the Subscriber's use of the NRC journals. Acceptance of an advertisement, announcement, or other material does not imply endorsement by either the Journal Editors or NRC.

The Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office and authoring Departments accept no responsibility for the accuracy of any recipe, formula, or instruction contained within any British Crown copyright article or any other material in this publication.
