Nature specialists journals license

[Paul Wrynn <wrynnp01@library.med.nyu.edu>]

Has anyone come to an agreement with Nature specialist journals?    The
language of the indemnity clause indicates that libraries that sign the
license can be held responsible for reckless behavior by faculty or staff
that is really beyond our control, and that there is no way we can ever
police this.

See below.  BTW, "You" is the institution.

"You shall be responsible for any claims or legal proceedings arising from
any misuse of the Service under this Agreement, whether authorised by you
or not, (including, but not limited to claims in respect of breach of
copyright or other infringements of our Intellectual Property Rights)
which are brought against you by third parties."

12.2 "This paragraph shall survive the Renewal Date without prejudice to
other remedies."
