The parties agree to the following terms and conditions:

Online: Terms and Conditions of Usage

Use of the HIMAA Australian Dictionary of Clinical Abbreviations, Acronyms & Symbols online version (Dictionary) is governed by the following terms and conditions:

1. Copyright

The HIMAA owns the copyright of the Dictionary, unless otherwise noted.

HIMAA Limited warrants that it has the authority to make available the online Dictionary and that it has secured all rights and permission necessary to enable authorized users to utilize such materials in compliance with this licence.

2. The Licence

Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement and upon payment of the annual subscription fee, HIMAA grants to the Institutional subscriber a one-year, non-transferable licence for access the online version of the Dictionary.

3. Terms of access

This licence will cover access, during the subscription year for which a subscription has been paid, to the full content of the Dictionary including any update to the Dictionary.

Access to the Dictionary shall be controlled through the use of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Institutional subscribers are responsible for ensuring that HIMAA has been supplied with a valid IP address (a registration form is provided for this purpose). Valid IP addresses cannot include publicly accessible proxy or cache servers.

Institutional subscribers should notify HIMAA within 30 days of any changes in registration data or IP addresses.

4. Definitions

For the purposes of this licence, an institution is defined as: “one contiguous campus community and network, including any halls of residence of faculty, staff or students; or, in the commercial sector, e.g. pharmaceutical companies, one contiguous commercial office complex”.

Authorized users include faculty (visiting or permanent), students and staff of the institution, and any on-site users, which may include the general public, of the institution’s library and campus computer networks.

5. Multi-site or consortium access

Extended licences for multi-site institutions and consortia are available. Each license confers online access via IP (Internet Protocol) address restrictions. These access restrictions allow either a single IP or a range of IP addresses. If a range of IP addresses is enabled these addresses must form one contiguous block. Disparate blocks of IP ranges shall be treated as separate and individual entities with each requiring the purchase of a licence. For example, an Institutional Subscriber applying for access using the IP address range of 203.45.000.000 to 203.45.255.255 is covered by a single licence. However, an institutional subscriber applying for access using 203.45.000.000 and 139.178.000.000 requires two licences as these are quite clearly non-contiguous (i.e., non sequential) blocks of IP addresses. Please contact support@himaa.org.au for more information in relation to multiple site (non-contiguous) IP-restricted access.

6. Usage restrictions: what authorized users are NOT allowed to do

Downloading of entire issues of the Dictionary is not allowed.

Pages from the Dictionary may not be translated, altered, re-compiled, manipulated or used to prepare derivative works, or published in any other format in any medium without written permission from HIMAA Limited.

The authors’ names or publisher’s copyright notices or other means of identification must not be removed from or altered as they appear in the Dictionary.

Items from the database may not be mounted or distributed on any electronic network, including without limitation the Internet and the World Wide Web.

HIMAA reserves the right to terminate the access of any authorized user in breach of the above restrictions.

7. Unauthorized usage

An institution will not be held liable to HIMAA for unauthorized use of the Dictionary provided that: such use is without the express or implied consent of the institution; and, in addition, that the institution shall promptly notify HIMAA of any known infringements of copyright, or any other such unauthorized activity, of which it becomes aware.

In addition, institutional subscribers shall take all reasonable steps to prevent or to cease such activity and to prevent any recurrence thereof.

8. Disclaimers

HIMAA does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in the online version of the Dictionary, or its merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

HIMAA will have no liability to any person for any loss or damage arising out of use of, or inability to use, the online/web version of the Dictionary.

HIMAA shall make all reasonable endeavours to make its server available to an institution on a 24-h basis, with the exception of normal server administration and down time.

If access is suspended or interrupted, owing to circumstances beyond HIMAA control, liability shall be limited to restoring access as soon as is practicable.

HIMAA reserves the right to modify the terms of this agreement immediately by providing notice online and directly to institutions by electronic and conventional mail. Continued use of the Dictionary Journal for more than 30 days after such notice shall constitute acceptance of such modification.

9. Termination of the licence

HIMAA may terminate this licence for the online Dictionary, for any breach of this agreement, by providing the institution with written notice in paper or electronic form. No refund will be provided upon such termination.

10. Term of the agreement

This agreement shall continue for {field:duration} year(s) from receipt of payment of the applicable subscription fee.

11. Governing Law

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New South Wales, Australia. Any disputes arising from this agreement shall be governed by the above jurisdiction.
