Non-exclusive Author Deposit License Agreement
The Hugh and Hazel Darling Library at Hope International University ("HIU") and you as Author and acting on behalf of any and all co-authors of a multi-author Work ("you" ("your")) wish to enter into a nonexclusive license in order to preserve and disseminate worldwide through the internet and/or any other publicly accessible and/or secure digital networks your thesis, dissertation, and/or capstone Work ("the Work") described more fully in your submission file as incorporated by reference herein.
A nonexclusive license in no way limits you as the copyright holder in making other nonexclusive uses of the Work. You otherwise retain all rights in the Work subject to the nonexclusive grants and conditions of this license and accordingly hold sole responsibility for complying with copyright and other legal requirements that govern the ownership and enforcement rights of Authors. This nonexclusive arrangement allows HIU to make the Work accessible through any technologies and formats but otherwise authorizes no changes in substantive content.
To that end:
You grant to HIU and its agents nonexclusive, irrevocable, and worldwide rights and license to reproduce, and distribute, to prepare collectives, compilations, and structural derivatives, to publicly or otherwise perform and display, and to modify the Work’s format and/or display characteristics consistent with this license and the requirements of applicable technologies (for example: software upgrades, platform revisions, migration needs, or other changes) as determined by HIU at its sole discretion. Such changes would not ordinarily alter substantive content but would solely reshape its formatting in support of long-term viability and preservation.
You represent and warrant that you have full and sole authority to enter into this license on behalf of yourself and any and all co-authors of a multi-author Work and that you and/or any and all co-authors have included in the Work no audio, video, programming, textual material, information, and/or other content and/or data that (1) defames a third party, (2) violates any existing agreement between you and another party, including confidentiality agreements, or (3) infringes any intellectual property rights, including copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other rights of a third party, (4) and otherwise complies with all applicable laws. You also represent and warrant on behalf of yourself and any and all co-authors of a multiauthor Work that you have included any copyrighted materials in the Work with written permission of the rights holder or in compliance with a “reasonable and good faith” application of fair use as articulated in 17 U.S.C. §107 of United States copyright law.
You agree on behalf of yourself and any and all co-authors of a multi-author Work to hold HIU harmless and to indemnify HIU for reasonable attorney fees, costs, and damages in the event of a claim or allegation arising from or relating to the Work and/or your deposit of it in the repository.
You as Author acknowledge and agree on behalf of yourself and any and all co-authors of a multi-author Work that HIU may remove or otherwise disable the Work under the force of law, for allegations of infringement or other occurrences, or due to circumstances beyond HIU control and that HIU makes no warranties whatsoever regarding the repository or whether the Work will be included in it. HIU will exercise sole discretion in determining when and/or whether to remove or disable access to the Work.
You also affirm and agree that you have not included any attachments and/or appendices in the deposit and/or the Work that conflict with or otherwise attempt to modify this agreement and/or any applicable university policies and agree that any such attachments or appendices if included would have no force in interpreting or enforcing this agreement and/or supporting University policies.
