Terms of Use for CommonKnowledge

1. General: The Site is maintained by the Pacific University Oregon Libraries and Pacific University Oregon Information Technology Services (ITS), in support of our mission to disseminate information and research to scholars, educators and the public. As used in these Terms of Use, the terms "we, "us," and "our" refer to the Libraries, ITS, and Pacific University Oregon ("Pacific University Oregon"). Use of CommonKnowledge (the Site and its contents) is subject to the following terms and conditions and all applicable laws. By using the Site or any of its content, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and all applicable laws. If any of these Terms of Use are unacceptable to you, do not use the Site.

2. Changes to Terms of Use Are Binding: We may change these Terms of Use from time-to-time without advance notice. Your use of the Site or any of its content after any changes have been made will constitute your agreement on a prospective basis to the modified Terms of Use and all of the changes. Accordingly, you should read these Terms of Use from time-to-time for any changes.

3. Copyright and Use of CommonKnowledge Content: The Site includes text, images, graphics, information, articles, multi-media objects, scholarly projects and other works protected by copyright, trademark and other laws ("Content"). Some of the Content on this site may include materials from older published works that have passed into the "public domain" under U.S. copyright law. Where such information is known, it is included specifically in the metadata associated with each item of Content. However, the Site itself and most of the materials held as Content on the Site are protected by copyright and other laws. These materials have been deposited to enable teaching, research, and other non-profit educational activities. Unless otherwise specified in the metadata attached to an item of Content, you may use the Site and the Content only for non-commercial, research, educational, or related academic purposes. Further, you have the responsibility to make your own assessment of the copyright or other legal concerns that might affect your use of CommonKnowledge content and to assume personal responsibility for your uses of Content.

4. Special Permissions: CommonKnowledge does not have the authority to grant or deny special permissions to use images or other Content found on the site beyond those uses that are specifically described in these Terms of Use or as noted specifically on individual items of Content. CommonKnowledge staff are not able to undertake copyright investigations on behalf of Site users.

5. CommonKnowledge Access Levels: Where possible, CommonKnowledge makes its Content available to the general public. However, some of the Content on this Site has been made available only to Pacific University Oregon community users or other user subgroups by the depositor. Such Content cannot be used, downloaded, or distributed outside the Pacific University Oregon community (or subgroup identified) without the specific permission of the depositor.

6. Use of CommonKnowledge Site and Content: Unless otherwise specified in the metadata attached to an item, Content that has been made accessible to the general public may be used for non-commercial, research, educational, or related academic purposes only. Such uses include personal study, distribution to students, research and scholarship (including computational research uses such as data and text-mining, citation-extraction, or cross-referencing) as long as you do not sell the Content or sell advertising on any page on which the Content is displayed. If you make an item of Content available to others, you shall do so in accordance with the terms of the rights granted pursuant to the particular item of Content, or at a minimum, you will retain with the Content its title, the name of the author(s), a reference to these Terms of Use, any copyright notice included on the original, and any metadata associated with the original. You may not use a facsimile of the published version of an article that may be posted in CommonKnowledge under these open access terms, unless the publisher so permits. You will not make any translation, adaptation or other derivative work of an item of Content except as authorized under U.S. law. You may not sublicense or otherwise transfer your rights in an item of Content, unless specifically authorized by the copyright license granted to the item of Content and will only make Content available to others for use by them under these Terms of Use. Links on the Site to third-party web sites are provided solely as a convenience to you. We do not approve or endorse the content of linked third-party sites, and you agree that we will have no responsibility or liability in connection with your use of any linked third-party sites.
