I am in the process of signing different site licence/user agreements
for access to online journals. One I have in front of me at the moment
is the Institutional User Agreement for access to ASME journals and I am
a bit wary of one of the clauses in this agreement. It states:-
"The Subscriber must pay any taxes, other than taxes on ASMEs net
income, arising out of the Subscribers use of the ASME online journals
and/or the rights granted under this Agreement."
Does anyone know exactly what this clause means and the likelihood of
incurring costs by using the online journals?
I look forward to hearing other peoples ideas on whether it is a good
idea to sign this Agreement.
