undertake any or all of the obligations of the Licensee
under this License, as agreed between the Licensee and
the Agent.
Authorised Users Current members of the faculty and other staff of the
Licensee (whether on a permanent, temporary, contract
or visiting basis) and individuals who are currently
studying at the Licensee's institution, who are permitted
to access the Secure Network from within the Library
Premises or from such other places where Authorised
Users work or study (including but not limited to
Authorised Users' offices and homes, halls of residence
and student dormitories) and who have been issued by
the Licensee with a password or other authentication
together with other persons who are permitted to use the
Licensee's library or information service and access the
Secure Network but only from computer terminals
within the Library Premises.
Commercial Use Use for the purposes of monetary reward (whether by or
for the Licensee or an Authorised User) by means of
sale, resale, loan, transfer, hire or other form of
exploitation of the Licensed Materials. For the
avoidance of doubt, neither recovery of direct costs by
the Licensee from Authorised Users, nor use by the
Licensee or by an Authorised User of the Licensed
Materials in the course of research funded by a
commercial organisation, is deemed to be Commercial

1
Course Packs A collection or compilation of materials (e.g. book
chapters, journal articles) assembled by members of
staff of the Licensee for use by students in a class for

of instruction.

secure network. A typical single site would have a
single billing address for all subscription purchases and
all physical locations accessing the licensed materials
would be located on the same physical campus.
If the library/Licensee maintains or provides service to
users that are outside one single geographical
contiguous location, or multiple departments that
operate independently of the parent institution, then the
library/Licensee may need to obtain a multi-site or
consortium license.
