eMammal Services Subscription

This Data Provider Agreement (this "Agreement") contains the terms and conditions that govern your access and use of the eMammal program services, consisting of a web site on the domain eMammal.org with the home page www.eMammal.org (the "Web Site") and is an agreement between you or the entity you represent ("Provider" or "you") and the Smithsonian Institution. eMammal program services include project management capability (i.e. volunteer management and communication, deployment assignment and tracking, expert review of data prior to acceptance into repository) SI curation of digital repository, and website page dedicated to your project and public access to project information, favorite photos, and metadata and images (after provider set embargo). This agreement takes effect when you click an "I Accept" button presented with these terms. By providing your image and metadata (the "Data") to the eMammal Program by any means or media whatsoever, you agrees to and is bound by the following terms and conditions. When using the Web Site and/or the software on the Web Site (the "Software"), you will be asked to agree to the terms and conditions contained in the Data, Software, and Web Site User Agreement.

I. GOALS

The aim of the eMammal Program is to facilitate the sharing of camera trap images and data for research and education purposes. eMammal provides the public a query tool, allowing a user to access and share camera trap information from a variety of projects. eMammal encourages collaboration with other institutions and individuals. eMammal recognizes the power of camera trap sampling to collect data on the distribution and abundance of a broad range of terrestrial and semi-terrestrial birds and mammals, often beyond the goals and objectives of a single research project.

II. DATA

1. Ownership of Data. Provider represents and warrants that it owns the Data and/or possesses all rights in the Data necessary to consent to this Agreement and that no part of the Data will infringe or violate any copyright, trade secret, trademark, patent, invention, or other proprietary or personal right of any third party. If SI reasonably believes that any of your Data violates the law, infringes the rights of any third party, or violates this Agreement, SI may remove or disable access to the violating Data or suspend services to the extent that SI is not able to remove the violating data.
2. Accuracy. Provider represents and warrants that the Data will be true, accurate, and complete to the best of its knowledge.
3. No Viruses. Provider certifies that, to the best of its knowledge, nothing in the Data or its mode or medium of transmission will contain any virus, time bomb, worm, lock, drop-dead device, Trojan horse, trap door, malware, or other similar component of software or electronically stored information that is intended in any manner to (a) damage, destroy, alter, or adversely affect the operation of the Software, the Web Site, or any other software, firmware, hardware or service in connection with which the Data is used, or (b) reveal, damage, or alter any data or other information.
4. Metadata; Placement of Restrictions. The Data provided by Provider must be registered on the Web Site and must contain certain metadata (the "Metadata") for purposes of accurate identification, attribution, and terms and conditions for use of Data by others. In the Metadata, Provider must state clear and comprehensive terms and conditions for the use of its Data. The eMammal Program has adopted a Creative Commons "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike" license (to the largest extent legally and practically feasible), meaning the Data is publically available following the Provider-set embargo periods.
5. Acknowledgment. SI will acknowledge each institutional Provider of Data to the Web Site in an equal manner, without regard to the specific number or quality of Data provided. Provider hereby grants SI a license to use Provider's name and, if applicable, logo for the sole purpose of acknowledging Provider on the Web Site and in promotional and publicity materials related thereto. Any other use of Provider's name and/or logo by SI shall require Provider's prior written consent.
6. Public Availability of Data; Sensitive Data. Provider agrees that all Data that it provides to the Web Site, will eventually be publicly available through the website. Provider agrees that any images of humans will not be available at the public website but will reside within the digital repository for review by the Provider. With respect to images that include CITES-listed species, Provider may provide the Data to the Web Site; however, the geographic location of the image will not be obfuscated such that the precise location of the image cannot be determined from the Data. SI will obscure the exact location of these images but users of the Web Site or the Software and/or access Data and who seek additional information on images that include IUCN endangered or critically endangeredspecies, will be advised to contact the eMammal staff or Provider directly with any requests. Permission and access to use and download IUCN Red List critically endangered and endangered species will be given on a case by case basis to ensure data will be used per the goals of the eMammal. Users may also select species of concern that will have the same restrictions of location information. Provider's actively collecting data for a project may request an embargo of metadata for a limited period of up to 3 years. During the embargo period images from the project may be displayed but no associated metadata. Data will be available to public and Provider through the website. Provider can also request downloads of data through the eMammal Program Manager. Once the Provider is no longer actively providing data, data will remain accessible, but SI reserves the right to shift webpage into "inactive project" status and reduce its visibility at the website.

III. LICENSES

1. License to Use Data. Provider hereby grants to SI the royalty-free, nonexclusive, worldwide right, but not the obligation, to use, reproduce, publish, distribute, or otherwise use all Data (including, without limitation, to aggregate it with other data to create new products, to copy it, to cache it and to incorporate it into other works in any form, media or technology now known or later developed), and to sublicense such rights to third parties for purposes within the scope of the the Data, Software and Web Site User Agreement (Attachment). Provider hereby grants to SI the right to obfuscate geographic locations of any images provided by Provider that include IUCN endangered or critically endangered species or species designated by the Provider.
2. Request to Remove Data. Organizations may request, in writing, that SI remove all, or individual camera trap project Data from the Web Site. Upon receipt of a written request, SI will endeavor to remove the Data from the Web Site as soon as reasonably possible, and will notify Organization when the removal has been completed. Organization acknowledges and agrees that the removal of Data from the Web Site does not impact the rights of SI or any third party sublicensee with respect to any Data that was accessed, downloaded and/or used, reproduced, published or distributed by such third party prior to its removal from the Web Site.
