The parties agree to the following.

1. The Work has been prepared for exclusive use in the above-named Project and is copyrighted by the Author. There shall be no compensation, monetary or otherwise, for either the Center or the Author, for this Work. The Author fully acknowledges that his or her contribution to Project, in the form of a manuscript (or manuscripts), has been done by invitation and has been entered into in the spirit of non-remunerative scholarship for the benefit of all who may read the Work.

While the intent and spirit of this Project is to make the Work of all Authors free to all interested scholars, therefore making it both unethical and illegal for anyone to copy it for any form of monetary compensations, both the Author and the Center realize that it is possible that individuals with malicious or mercenary intent could create situations where either compensation or unwarranted activity is involved In the event such cases occur, both the Center and the Author reserve the right to take legal action against any party involved for violation of copyright.

4. The Center, through the editorial work of several of its Associates, shall have the right to make such editorial changes and revisions in the Work as deemed necessary or advisable (including chapter title) for clarity, brevity, and conformity to style, and the Author shall have the right of approval of major changes made by the Center. Such changes shall normally be mediated by e-mail correspondence either before or after making the Work available on the Center's website.

5. The Author shall have the right to revise his/her Work at any time and request that such revision replace the old Work at the earliest convenience to the Center. The Author and the Center also agree that the Author has the right to request that the Center withdraw his or her Work; normally such a request shall be granted provided it is by mutual consent of the parties. Although not anticipated, the Center has the right to remove the Work if in the Center's judgment it no longer fits the Project.

6. The Author shall receive appropriate credit for his/her role in the creation of the Work in any Table of Contents or on-line listing of the contents of the Project.
