If any change is unacceptable, Your only recourse is to cease using WorldCat.org Services. Your continued use of WorldCat.org Services following OCLC’s issuance of notification of a change to these Terms or posting of a new version of these Terms on the OCLC WorldCat.org web site will constitute binding acceptance of the change or such new agreement (whichever applies). <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>3. USE OF WORLDCAT.ORG SERVICES</strong></p> <ol type="A"> <li><strong><em>Data. </em></strong>OCLC grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use Data solely for Non-Commercial Use.

DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY</strong></p> <ol type="A"> <li>You are responsible for all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by OCLC, its subsidiaries and affiliates and/or their respective suppliers (including those incurred in connection with third-party claims) as a result of your breach of these Terms.</li> <li>WORLDCAT.ORG SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND YOUR USE OF AND RELIANCE ON WORLDCAT.ORG SERVICES [INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COPYRIGHT STATUS INFORMATION (IF ANY)] <em><u>IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK</u></em>.

If you are a California resident, You waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which states, "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." Residents of other states and nations similarly waive their rights under analogous laws, statutes, or regulations. Some states do not permit the exclusion of warranties, so the above warranty exclusions may not apply to You.<strong></strong></li> <li>Neither party shall have any liability or obligation to the other for indirect, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages (including, without limitation, lost profits, loss of business, or loss of or damage to data) whether based on contract, tort or any other legal theory and regardless of whether a party foresaw such damages. <strong></strong></li> </ol> <p><strong>6.

For purposes of subpart (ii) of the foregoing sentence, a “small amount” is about 1,000 records per month or 12,000 records for each year of coverage.
