Terms and Conditions
Subscribers will be asked to agree to the following terms and conditions:
- Subscriptions to the PEP-Web Archive are valid for twelve months from date of purchase are non-transferable and subject to the conditions of use set out below. Each subscriber is an authorized user.
- Subscriptions are for personal use only. The subscription may not be used for teaching or other activities for a 3rd party (for example a university or public hospital) and access will not be possible from such computers in public institutions with an IP address logged in PEP’s systems.
- Access is to the most up-to-date version of PEP-Web located at https://www.pep-web.org and is only for those who have paid the relevant fees and are registered with PEP (authorized users). No authorized user may assist anyone other than another authorized user to access PEP-Web and is expressly prohibited from doing so in any way whatsoever. Usage is monitored. Any breach of this condition will result in immediate removal of access rights without compensation and in the imposition of a liability to indemnify PEP for any lost subscription fees.
- Content. PEP-Web stays approximately three years behind current journal content. However, due to contractual obligations, there are a few Journals that are five years behind current journal content.
- Additional Fees. PEP intends to keep the annual subscription to PEP-Web stable, increasing by inflation only if necessary. However, if a period of over a week goes by without renewal, applicable late fees will be charged. If more than two years have lapsed, the subscriber must pay the entry fee again at the current rate. Further information may be obtained from: admin@pep-web.org.
- Refund Policy. Once a subscription is purchased, PEP offers NO REFUND. This policy includes any refund for anyone who joins as an individual and then is subsequently joined through their institute or organization. PEP recommends that you check with any such groups to which you are affiliated prior to subscribing. Should your organization subsequently join PEP, you may let your individual subscription lapse on the originally agreed date and continue on with your affiliated group.
- Each authorized user will either be assigned a username and password on the https://www.psychoanalystdatabase.com (PaDS) site if being added by your organization or will select their own username and password if they are registering as an individual subscriber. Access to PEP-Web will be via each individual’s username and password which are input into the relevant boxes on https://www.pep-web.org and which can be modified by a user through PaDS. Users are liable for the security of their username and password and must not transfer it.
- Authorized Individual Users paying individual rates are entitled to free direct support from PEP Customer Support, by contacting admin@pep-web.org for one month following the renewal of their subscription – to ensure they can log-in and access articles. Subsequent support incidents may be charged at PEP’s discretion.
PEP-Web and the PaDS database require a user to have Internet access and an approved browser. There are no limits on use but users should log out when finished as not to do so may affect the performance of the system. - Availability.
