General conditions for groups

Specific Conditions and additional points of detail

  1. The group rates shown in the accompanying text on this website are intended to remain at these levels for the long term - they will not be raised except insofar as it is necessary to adjust for price inflation. There is one possible exception - if PEP includes the Revised Edition of the Freud Standard Edition (still in preparation) a surcharge of up to no more than $100 may be payable.
  2. Late entries to a group can be accommodated but groups will have a single renewal date.
  3. Subscriptions in the case of Offer B (opt-in) are renewed annually. New members joining a group will pay at the rate for the group but among Offer B groups lapsed members (anyone who dropped out from subscribing) will be liable for the PEP entry fee. This provision is designed to prevent individuals subscribing some years and not others.
  4. The content on PEP WEB will be latest PEP Archive (Version 6 as of December 2006).
  5. The terms and conditions and the way access is organised through PEP require Institutes to designate someone to handle any initial difficulties members may have.
  6. There will be further enhancements to PEP WEB from time to time. Methods exist to allow student reading lists to be linked to PEP .
  7. PEP will not issue refunds to any Institute members who purchase or have purchased the CD version at any time. It is important to make this clear at the outset of any consultation
  8. PEP will make waivers so that an individual who is a member of two organisations pays for PEP WEB only in one. Claims must be supported.

General Conditions to be agreed by each user in a group

  1. Access is for all those on the roster of XYZ Society (XYZ) only (authorised users). No authorised user may assist anyone other than another authorised user to access PEP WEB and is expressly prohibited from doing so in any way whatsoever. Usage is monitored. Any breach of this condition will result in immediate removal of access rights without compensation and in the imposition of a liability to indemnify PEP for any lost subscription fees.
  2. Access is for personal use or for use in connection with teaching in the Institute or group organizing the subscription. You may not print out or use PEP WEB in connection with your work for a university, hospital or other institution. We need your help here as in these days of budget cuts some universities (etc) may try to get round purchasing access right themselves.
  3. PEP WEB subscriptions usually contain an initial (year 1) and a subsequent (year 2) element. PEP intends that subsequent subscriber rates will be held constant in real terms. A society or authorised user whose subscriptions lapses will be liable to pay the initial rate.
  4. Each authorised user will be assigned a web userid and password on the Psychoanalystdatabase.com (PaDS). Access to PEP WEB will be via each individual userid and password through PaDS: https://www.psychoanalystdatabase.com/ Details of how to access are described at: http://www.p-e-p.org/pepweb_login_manual.htm
  5. Authorised Users are not entitled to direct support from PEP Customer Support . This will be provided via a nominated member of XYZ who will be able to refer to PEP CS if necessary. PEP WEB and the PaDS database require a user to have Internet access, to use the current version of a Netscape or Internet Explorer Browser and to enable firewalls in such a way authentication codes work. In a few cases this may require adjustments to a user's computer set up. There are no limits on use but users should log out when finished as not to do so may affect the performance of the system.
