Guidelines for Internet Access to The Annals of Pharmacotherapy

This document provides Harvey Whitney Books Company's (publisher of The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, hereinafter referred to as the Publisher) Guidelines for Institutional Subscribers regarding Internet Access to content of The Annals of Pharmacotherapy (a.k.a. The Annals Online, hereinafter referred to as the Journal).

For the purposes of this document:

· Internet Access is defined as the viewing and use of subscribed Journal content online via the World Wide Web.
· An Institution includes all parts of a single organization that report to the same Chief Academic Officer, Chief Executive Officer or Director of a not-for-profit, agency, governmental or non governmental organization or independent company. (For multi-campus academic institutions, each organization listed in the Directory of Higher Education [http://www.educause.edu/MembershipDirectory/672], or its equivalent, is considered a separate institution. Academic law and academic medical libraries may be part of a University only if they report to the same CAO or CEO.)
· Authorized Users are persons with a current, authenticated affiliation to the subscribing Institution. This includes full- and part-time students and employees (including faculty, staff, affiliated researchers and independent contractors) plus other individuals who have permission to use the public computers on the subscribing institution's campus.

Upon receipt of the Institutional subscriber's completed order and the required subscription fee, the Publisher will issue a valid account number for use in the activation of the online Journal.

Institutional subscribers and Harvey Whitney Books Company agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. SUBSCRIPTION ACCESS: An online subscription permits unlimited simultaneous Internet Access to complete Journal content by Authorized Users for the entire subscription term. Secure proxy access from off campus locations is allowed.

2. COPYRIGHT: Unless otherwise noted, Harvey Whitney Books Company holds the copyright on all materials published in the Journal, whether in print or electronic form, both as a compilation and as individual articles. All Journal content is subject to "fair use" provisions of U.S. or applicable international copyright laws. [http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html]

3. AUTHORIZED USE: Authorized users are permitted to reproduce or disseminate Journal content within the parameters of applicable copyright law. The following uses are specifically authorized:
a. Downloading: Downloading, printing, or saving of Journal content for the purposes of research, teaching, and/or private study by Authorized Users is permissible. Systematic downloading (by robots or other automatic processes) is prohibited without explicit Publisher approval.
b. Interlibrary Loan: Institutional subscribers may fulfill interlibrary loan requests from other institutions via fax or paper document delivery under CONTU (National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyright Works) guidelines [http://www.cni.org/docs/infopols/CONTU.html]. Redistribution of Journal content to non-authorized users in electronic or digital form is prohibited without prior Publisher approval.
c. Accessibility: Institutional subscribers may transcribe any portion of Journal content into Braille script, enlarged type or other appropriate version in order to allow Authorized Users with disabilities to access the Journal.
d. Course Packs: Institutional subscribers may use a reasonable portion of Journal content, in printed or digital format, in the preparation of course packs or other educational materials for Authorized Users.

4. RESTRICTIONS:
a. Non-authorized users: Institutional subscribers are prohibited from making agreements for access to Journal content with individuals, organizations, vendors, affiliates, or partners, which are not parts of the same Institution purchasing the online subscription.
b. Commercial redistribution: No direct commercial re-use (e.g. downloading, posting of a file, or printing to resell or distribute to any non-authorized user) of any Journal content is permitted without prior, express written permission of the Publisher. Permission is granted, however, to provide a limited amount of print or electronic Journal content for purposes of regulatory approval, patent and/or trademark applications or other legal or regulatory purposes.
c. Removal of copyright notice: Institutional subscribers agree not to remove, cover, overlay, obscure, block, or change any copyright notices, legends, or terms of use.

b. Abuse: If Institutional subscribers become aware of unauthorized access to the Journal, they will notify the Publisher immediately and cooperate in locating and attempting to stop the specific individuals who are abusing the service. If the specific abuser(s) cannot be identified or stopped, the Publisher has the right to withhold, suspend, or terminate access to any or all Journal content, without liability.

6. TECHNICAL ACCESS: The Publisher intends for Journal web sites to be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. However, the Publisher WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR REFUNDS SHOULD A SITE BECOME UNAVAILABLE TEMPORARILY OR ACCESS TO A SITE BECOMES SLOW OR INCOMPLETE due to system back-up procedures, Internet traffic volume, upgrades, overload of requests to the servers, general network failures or delays, or any other cause which may from time to time make Journal content inaccessible to Institutional subscribers. The Publisher will make reasonable efforts to notify Institutional subscribers of any unusually extended interruptions and will attempt to restore access to sites as soon as possible.

7. WARRANTY: The Publisher affirms it has obtained any and all necessary permissions to license Journal content, and that use of such content by Authorized Users in accordance with these guidelines shall not infringe the copyright of any third party. While it seeks to ensure the accuracy of content posted online, the Publisher DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE ITS ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Neither the Publisher nor Institutional subscribers shall be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of data, business interruption, or loss of profits, arising out of the use of or the inability to use the Journal content.

8. DISPUTES: In the event of any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to these guidelines, the Publisher and Institutional subscribers agree to exercise their best efforts to resolve the dispute as soon as possible. Both parties shall, without delay, continue to perform their respective obligations that are not affected by the dispute.
