How do your libraries handle end-user agreements?

[Rebecca Kemp <rkemp@email.unc.edu>]

We have come up against a situation here where there is a 
combination of an institutional license, which we can modify, and 
an optional end-user agreement (terms of use) to which users will 
have to agree if they want to use added functionality of the 
resource in question.  Because these terms of use are on the 
vendor's website, it's unlikely that we'd be able to modify them.

I understand that we, the library, are not bound by the end user 
agreement.  However, I don't like passing on the responsibility 
of looking at an agreement to our end users.

List members, how do you handle situations such as this?  Do you 
have policies regarding resources that may require end users to 
enter into an agreement?

Many thanks for considering,
Rebecca
