Comment: In addition to defining what users can do with licensed content, it is helpful when publishers spell out prohibited uses. You need to make sure none of the prohibited uses are things your patrons will need for their work. If you don't understand the meaning of any of the terms (such as "time-share"), clarify what the definitions before you sign.

Comment: This inclusive language addresses virtually every type of user and both on- and off-site access. You may need to clarify the distinction between "persons affiliated with remote sites of campuses" (who can access the database) and "persons affiliated with remote sites of campuses that have separate administrative staffs" (who may not): Many academic institutions have multiple campuses. This vendor wants to separately license databases to each campus, which is pretty typical. You will want to find out if the vendor also offers a multi-site or system-wide license.
