B. The Licensee is authorized to provide on-site access through the Websites to BookBrowse to any Authorized User. The Licensee and Websites are authorized to provide remote access to BookBrowse only to their patrons as long as security procedures are undertaken that will prevent remote access by institutions, employees at non-subscribing institutions or individuals that are not parties to this Agreement who are not expressly and specifically granted access by BookBrowse. This specifically prohibits employees and patrons at non-subscribing institutions from using their personal library card to access Websites via their library. Excepting that licensees who subscribe to "in-library access only" are not authorized to provide remote access to their patrons.

C. Licensee and Authorized Users agree to abide by the Copyright Act of 1976 as well as any contractual restrictions, copyright restrictions, or other restrictions provided by publishers and specified at BookBrowse. Pursuant to these terms and conditions, the Licensee and Authorized Users may download or print limited copies of citations, abstracts, full text or portions thereof provided the information is used solely for personal, non-commercial use. Users shall not utilize the records contained in BookBrowse for cataloging purposes.

Within the period of such notice Licensee shall make every reasonable effort and document said effort to remedy such a breach and shall institute any reasonable procedures to prevent future occurrences of such breaches. If the Licensee fails to remedy such a breach within the period of thirty (30) days, BookBrowse may (at its option) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Licensee.

B. If BookBrowse becomes aware of a material breach of Licensee's obligations under this Agreement or a breach by Licensee or Authorized Users of the rights of BookBrowse or its licensors or an infringement on the rights of BookBrowse or its licensors, then BookBrowse will notify the Licensee immediately in writing and shall have the right to temporarily suspend the Licensee's access to the Product(s).
