RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES </strong></p> <p><strong>A.

Technology will not be used to hinder any rights granted under this section.</li> </ol> <p><strong>C. Not Permitted </strong></p> <p>Authorized Users at the Purchaser's institution may not</p> <ol> <li>disseminate content from Project MUSE outside the campus or institution by any means, except as noted above</li> <li>transmit the digital source code, whether plain ASCII or tagged</li> <li>use content from Project MUSE books in course packs offered for sale</li> <li>systematically download content by robots or other automatic processes without explicit approval from JHUP</li> <li>burden server(s) with activities, such as computer programs, that automatically download content, commonly known as web robots, spiders, crawlers, wanderers, or accelerators.

COPYRIGHT AND PERMISSIONS</strong></p> <p>Unless otherwise noted, Publishers hold the copyright on all ebooks on Project MUSE, whether the material is in print or electronic form.

ACCESS AND AUTHENTICATION </strong></p> <p>The Project MUSE file server permits entry by recognizing authorized IP addresses. Distance learners and alumni who access the internet via campus IP accounts or a secure proxy server may use Project MUSE, but direct access is not available through independent service providers. Referring URL is offered as an alternative method for remote access, so long as a secure system is in place allowing only Authorized Users, as described above, access to Project MUSE via the referring URL. Project MUSE also supports access via Shibboleth authentication, and via email domain authentication utilizing a MyMUSE account.</p> <p>At the time an order is placed, the Purchaser provides IP addresses for all institutional networks and computers that require access to MUSE ebooks, as well as any relevant details for enabling access via referring URL, Shibboleth, or email domain.</p> <p>The Purchaser will make reasonable efforts to create and maintain appropriate security measures to ensure that only Authorized Users can access purchased content online. The Purchaser also affirms that all IP addresses provided for use of MUSE ebooks are controlled by its institution exclusively for internet access by Authorized Users. Valid IP addresses must not include those of publicly accessible proxy or cache servers.</p> <p><strong>IV. USAGE STATISTICS </strong></p> <p>JHUP shall provide the Purchaser with COUNTER-compliant usage data (<a href="http://www.projectcounter.org">www.projectcounter.org</a>) on the purchased ebooks on a monthly basis.</p> <p><strong>V. PERPETUAL ACCESS AND ARCHIVING </strong></p> <p>Providing that full payment of the total purchase price is made, the Purchaser retains the right to perpetual access to the digital version of the purchased ebooks on the Project MUSE server. So long as the Purchaser has made a purchase of ebooks on MUSE within the previous 24 month period, or maintains an active subscription to a Project MUSE Journal Collection(s), perpetual access to previously purchased ebooks will be made available on the Project MUSE server at no charge. Should the Purchaser be neither an active subscriber to a Project MUSE Journal Collection, nor have purchased any further ebooks on MUSE in the previous 24 month period, JHUP reserves the right to charge a reasonable annual fee to recover the costs for providing continuing access and customer support on the Project MUSE platform.</p> <p>The Purchaser may participate in the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe) system for archiving digitized publications. To benefit from this support, the Purchaser must install a LOCKSS cache at their institution. (See <a href="https://www.lockss.org/">http://www.lockss.org</a> for further information.) The Purchaser may perpetually use the LOCKSS system to archive and restore ebook content, so long as use is otherwise consistent with this Agreement. eBook content may be made available to other LOCKSS system Purchasers who indicate a right to the purchased ebook content.</p> <p>Project MUSE participates in PORTICO&rsquo;s E-Book Preservation Service for the preservation of book content on the MUSE platform. (See <a href="http://www.portico.org/">www.portico.org</a> for further information.)</p> <p><strong>VI. ACCESSIBILITY COMPLIANCE</strong></p> <p>JHUP complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), by supporting assistive software or devices such as large print interfaces, text-to-speech output, voice-activated input, refreshable braille displays, and alternate keyboard or pointer interfaces, in a manner consistent with the Web Accessibility Initiative Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 AA (<a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/guid-tech.html">http://www.w3.org/WAI/guid-tech.html</a>).</p> <p>JHUP maintains an Accessibility web page, including downloadable copies of current Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) documentation, at <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/accessibility">https://muse.jhu.edu/accessibility</a>. JHUP shall ensure that product maintenance and upgrades are implemented in a manner that does not compromise product accessibility.</p> <p><strong>VII. PURCHASE TERMS</strong></p> <p><strong>A. eBook Access Activation </strong></p> <p>For access to be enabled, the Purchaser must provide technical and administrative data about its campus or institution either via the Project MUSE online order form, through its single title ebook vendor, or another mutually agreed upon method. Upon receipt of a fully completed order form, JHUP will permit the Purchaser access to the content from the applicable ebooks.</p> <p><strong>B. Invoicing and Payment: Book Collections</strong></p> <p>Book Collections on Project MUSE are available for a one-time purchase fee. When a Purchaser confirms an order for a MUSE Book Collection(s), an invoice will be generated for entirety of the fee for the Purchaser&rsquo;s selected collection(s). Payment must be received by JHUP within 60 days of receipt of invoice, or access to content from the Book Collection(s) on that invoice will be disabled. Access to ebook content will be re-enabled only upon receipt of full payment of any outstanding invoices. Upon receipt of full payment, perpetual access rights are granted to the Purchaser.</p> <p><strong>C. Invoicing and Payment: Individual Book Titles</strong></p> <p>Individual purchases of ebooks may be made through third party vendors. Invoicing and payment will take place via these vendors; vendors are responsible for forwarding appropriate order details, access information, and payment to MUSE in a timely manner. Project MUSE will enable access to the selected ebook(s) for the purchasing institution upon receipt of complete and accurate order details from the vendor.</p> <p>Individual titles may also be acquired directly with Project MUSE, or through Evidence-Based Acquisition (EBA). Titles purchased directly from Project MUSE will be invoiced at the time of order. Payment must be received by JHUP within 60 days of receipt of invoice, or access to all titles on that invoice will be disabled. Details of any EBA arrangements between the Purchaser and JHUP may be outlined in an amendment to this agreement.</p> <p><strong>D. Book Content Delivery</strong></p> <p>Book Collections on MUSE include both frontlist and backlist monographs from participating Publishers, and some books may be offered for sale in advance of publication. In the case of newly-published titles, Project MUSE will make all reasonable efforts to provide access to digital versions of the books within two weeks of receipt of files from the Publisher. Each Book Collection will be offered with a guaranteed number of ebooks to be delivered for the purchase price; there are no guarantees that specific book titles will be included in any particular collection. In the event that Project MUSE delivers fewer books than guaranteed upon purchase of a Book Collection, the Purchaser will be offered a credit equivalent to the percentage of the price paid represented by the deficit against the guaranteed number of books.</p> <p><strong>E. Multiple Collection Purchases</strong></p> <p>Successful execution of this Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase of unlimited MUSE Book Collections and/or single ebooks on Project MUSE. If desired, this Agreement may be amended to list the specific Book Collection(s) or single ebooks acquired by the Purchaser over time.</p> <p><strong>VIII.
