Common use of Main Body Clause in Contracts

Main Body. The main body of the CPA begins with a standard explanation of intent and definition of terms. It provides for a grant of license with terminology that is broad enough to cover changes in technology over time. The grant of license states, “Content Provider hereby grants to Custodians a paid-up, non-exclusive, world-wide, transferable license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, distribute, perform publicly, display publicly, digitally transmit and otherwise use the Licensed Materials at no cost in any media now known or hereinafter created in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.” The NGDA does not intend to function as a dark archive, hence the wording allowing for the public display and performance of the materials. The content provider agrees to provide the node with one copy of the content, which may, but does not have to be, shared with other nodes in the NGDA for preservation purposes. A clause in the Agreement allows the collecting node to remove the materials for any reason from its archive given it provides written notice to the depositor. Materials that are found to be in violation of copyright must be removed within 48 hours from any hosting node and returned or destroyed within 15 days of the receipt of the request.
