1.8(3) Early termination for financial exigency:  

This Licence will be in full force and effect for the duration of the Licence Period, unless
terminated earlier as provided for in this Clause. For multi-year subscriptions, if funding of an
Institution is materially reduced and the Institution thereby becomes unable to pay future
amounts payable pursuant to this Publish and Read License, the Institution may give
Publisher written notice of termination and this License shall terminate effective the later of:
(i) 30 days after the giving of such notice; or (ii) the expiration of any prepaid term. The
determination of whether funds are available shall be made at the sole discretion of the
applicable Institution, i.e. the Institution will not need to demonstrate financial exigency by
disclosing its financial statements. The termination of participation by any Institution will not
constitute a default or a termination of participation of any other Institutions under the
License.

Any article published in the Society’s journals where the corresponding author is from a participating institution is made OA by default, with no limits on the number of OA articles.  Institutions also gain unlimited usage rights.  Any user affiliated with a participating institution can access the entire archive of content, dating back to 1947, for reading, as well as text and data mining.
