Terms and Conditions for access to CABI online products
Access to all of CABI's online products and services is provided on the understanding that end-users have read and are willing to abide by a set of Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions are designed to make it clear to users of our products what they may and may not do with the content provided to them as part of their subscription. Our aim has been to make the Terms and Conditions unambiguous and fair to all parties, but if further explanation is required, please send an e-mail to enquiries@cabi.org with your Question.
These Terms and Conditions are aimed at end-users of our products, whether trial users or members of subscribing institutions. Each individual subscriber or subscribing institution must also sign a Licence Agreement, which covers a much broader set of conditions of purchase. CABI aims to keep these Licence Agreements as simple and unambiguous as possible, and has mostly adopted the standard Licence Agreements recommended by recognised bodies within our industry. For more information about these Licence Agreements, please send an e-mail to enquiries@cabi.org with your question.

Online Products Licence Agreements
On this page you will find CABI's Standard Licence Agreements for all online (Internet) products including the online abstract journals, CABDirect, our Internet Resources and the online versions of abstract journals. These standard agreements are provided here for information only, and can be downloaded in PDF format for reference purposes. Individual Licence Agreements will be agreed by negotiation and completed with details of individual subscriptions and access rights. Only one Licence Agreement is required per site; details of all subscribed products should be entered into Schedule 1 of the Agreement.
We recognise that it can often be difficult to determine if your organisation requires a single site licence or a multi-site one, particularly since different publishers have different policies in this regard. The decision is usually dependent on the publisher’s definition of a “site” and on whether or not a surcharge is levied for multi-site access.
We also recognise that it is hard to generalise when dealing in a global market, and that site licences will nearly always require some individual negotiation. However, to try to make our policy as clear as possible, we have produced a definition of a “typical” single site, which we hope will help you decide what sort of licence you require. If this definition does not match your organisation, please contact enquiries@cabi.org for further information.
What is the definition of a site? A “typical” single site will have a single billing address for all subscription purchases. It may consist of several physical buildings, but they would typically be found on a single campus, or within a radius of 5-10 miles from the main administrative building. A site may consist of many different departments or units, but they would all be recognised as belonging to the same parent establishment or institution. Staff working at the different locations would be recognised as reporting through a single management structure, ultimately to a single common point or person.
