Institutional Subscriber:

Institution Subscribers are responsible for storing the ECA Publication(s) on an internal network and its access has to be monitored to limit the access to the chosen number of simultaneous users.

Subscribing libraries which provide public access may provide access to and permit copying from the online form of the ECA Publication(s) by members of the public for their scholarly, research, educational and personal use by means of workstations located at the library facility.

Data Delivery

The Publisher reserves the right to withdraw from the ECA Publication(s) any item or part of an item that it no longer retains the right to publish, or which it has reasonable grounds to believe infringes copyright or is otherwise offensive, defamatory or erroneous.
