Terms & Conditions

Welcome to the ICC Digital Library. ICC provides its service to you, subject to the following Terms and Conditions. When using the ICC Library, you are deemed to agree to these terms and conditions at all times.

SCOPE OF SERVICE

ICC Digital Library is a joint initiative by ICC, ICC Services and Coastline Solutions which provides users with fully searchable access to a rich collection of on-line resources published by the International Chamber of Commerce and ICC Entities (the "Service").
Additional resources will be added to the Service over time as they become available. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that ICC, ICC Entities assume no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any information.
Under this Agreement, a subscriber is granted a nonexclusive, revocable, nontransferable license to access the ICC Library over the Internet via the Subscribing User or Institution’s Internet Protocol addresses (IP addresses). In the case that the subscriber is an institution (“Subscribing Institution”), the authorized users must be employees, faculty, staff, and/or students officially affiliated with the Subscribing Institution and authorized clients of the Subscribing Institution’s library facilities.
A subscriber may not make ICC Library content and resources available electronically to anyone other than another Subscriber. ICC asks that any Institutional Users agree to make reasonable efforts to take appropriate action if they become aware of any misuse of the ICC Library subscription that would violate the terms of the agreement.
