Usage
Comprehensive downloading and storage on institutional or private systems is not allowed. MARIS BV monitors usage and has the right to intervene if this type of downloading has been detected. Intervention may result in restricting the number of allowed downloads per 24 hours or may result in temporarily blocking access to the account (this can be an account used by more than 1 user such as those users with IP range based authentication) until the client has taken steps to prevent this type of downloading.
Comprehensive downloading and storage on institutional or private systems will attract additional yearly license fees calculated at the cumulative maximum corporate fee covering all prior years of TAO publication (starting in 2021), i.e. the maximum corporate fee that would have been payable for a subscription for each year since 2021.
