SciFinder Scholar User Agreement

1. I am a current student, postdoctoral fellow, faculty, visiting scholar or staff member of Yale University.

2. I will use SciFinder Scholar only for my own academic research done in the course of pursuing my degree, or in instructing my students, or in the course of my own research funded by the government, Yale, a general research grant, an individual or a non-profit foundation and intended for publication in the publicly available literature.

3. I will NOT use SciFinder Scholar for commercial research; for example, research that is done under a funding or consultant contract where the results are delivered to a for-profit organization; or for research that involves patentability searching. "Patentability searching" means the comprehensive searching of the literature to determine prior art. If I require SciFinder for commercial purposes, I will have the search done using a commercial account by contacting the librarian responsible for chemistry searches on campus, by contacting CAS and having them perform a search for me or by acquiring and using the commercial SciFinder product.

4. I will use my search results in the ordinary course of academic research and acknowledge that I may store search results in electronic form for the duration of research projects, provided that at any one time, I store no more than 5,000 records. I may share search results in a limited, reasonable way with other YALE students or faculty working on the same project, but I will not aggregrate my electronic search results with those of anyone else. I will delete stored records when I no longer need them for the relevant research project, or after the completion of my degree program, or following publication of final research results, whichever is applicable. If I need to use search results beyond what is described here, I will contact my YALE Key Contact to discuss and to obtain CAS permission. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AM I PERMITTED TO RETAIN CAS DATA ON A PERPETUAL BASIS, NOR DISTRIBUTE ANY CAS DATA OR SCIFINDER SCHOLAR, FOR COMMERCIAL GAIN OR OTHERWISE, OUTSIDE YALE OR TO THIRD PARTIES.

5. I acknowledge that YALE has entered into a license agreement with CAS to provide me with access to SciFinder Scholar, and that violation of the license by any user could result in a termination of the license for all users.

6. I will contact YALE's Key Contact with any questions related to the use of Scifinder Scholar.
