Contract Clauses & Negotiating with Electronic Publishers
David subsequently turned a similar question back to CALL-L subscribers, and whether they had gotten a clause removed, edited to their needs, or added a new clause to a contract with any online legal publisher. And, if so, whether they would share that clause.
The summary document David's produced is great. Among the suggested clause changes, additions, or removals are the following:
- keep the termination notice period as short as you are comfortable with
- remove indemnity clauses in government contracts since library cannot commit government to these
- eliminate specific number of terminals ("users") if license is restricted to a physical space so as not to limit access points to library hardware
- amended termination clauses
- amended user ceilings
- amended usage levels
- amended copyright limitations
