Common use of Special Collections Clause in Contracts

Special Collections. Upon mutual agreement, publishers may elect to include their titles in a desLibris Special Collection. Special Collection Publishers may establish their own pricing and terms of sale. Once established, the pricing and terms of sale applicable to a Collection are valid for one calendar year. Pricing and terms of sale may be changed once a year for the following calendar year between September 1 and October 31 of the previous year. Any changes made after that date will not be effective until the following calendar year. The same conditions apply to withdrawal of Special Collection; this may be done only annually between these dates. Seventy percent (70%) of all revenues from sales of each Special Collection (net of any refunds) will be paid to the owner of the Collection. Collections in the Canadian Electronic Library are sold to libraries, corporations, and other institutions for simultaneous online access to, copying/pasting of, and printing of electronic content in these collections for a defined period. Publishers contributing titles to CEL Collections are paid a share of revenue. Publishers are paid on a semi-annual basis, as of June 30 and December 31. Payments are made within 60 days of the end of the period. Each publisher’s share of the Pool is based in part on the number of titles contributed to the collection expressed as a percentage of the total number of titles (the “Title Inclusion Pool”), and in larger part on the frequency with which users view, copy/paste, print or download pages from the publisher’s titles expressed as a percentage of the total number of uses (the “Usage Pool”).
