the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, represented by the
President, implemented by the following institution: Johann Christian Senckenberg
University Library, represented by the Director the basic (non-exclusive) right for the
period of benefit and irrespective of geographical region
to provide public access to the work/collection including the abstract(s) and
metadata via the repository and to enable the necessary reproductions (e.g. data
back-up) in particular to store the work/collection and the abstract(s), as well as
metadata and to grant access by digital means or other transmission technology
for free and
to convert the work/collection in the future into another data format, if deemed
necessary, in order to protect the contents in the long-term and to ensure that
access and usability are technically guaranteed, acknowledging that for these
purposes it might be necessary to transfer content to another system for long-time
storage such as that of the German National Library.
The Institution/the undersigned 2 certifies that with such duplication, disclosure or
dissemination of the work/collection and each component thereof (such as images) no
legal rights of a third party (such as co-authors, joint authors, publishers, collecting
societies, funding institutions) will be violated. The Institution/the undersigned 2 pledges
to inform the operator of the repository immediately in cases of doubt or assumed or
actual related legal obstacles.
The Institution/the undersigned 2 agrees to indemnify the repository operator from claims
made by third parties arising from culpable misrepresentation of the Institution/of the
undersigned 2 with respect to the non-existence of third-party rights or any other
circumstances represented by it/by him/her by publishing the work/the collection in the
repository which leads to violating copyright or exclusive rights of usage. This does not
apply if the violation is based on willful or gross negligent behavior on behalf of the
repository operator and if the institution/the undersigned 2 is not burdened in the same
way by intent or gross negligence. In the latter case a division of the damage will be
made with consideration given especially to the party at fault.
The Institution/the undersigned 2 authorizes the German National Library and the
relevant special collections libraries, to store the above mentioned work/the collection
also in electronic form and to make it publicly accessible. The operator of the repository
is empowered by the rights of this agreement to provide abstract(s) and metadata of the
work/the collection via suitable interfaces for external providers of information (e.g.
search engines) and, on request, to transfer these without needing separate approval of
the Institution/the undersigned 2 .
