During final review of the contracts our director's office asks for the following clarifications.

AMICO Library Museum Agreement

7.1 Permitted Uses (6) do we really mean to prohibit all free distribution to the general public such as use in exhibition gallery guides. Doesn't free distribution to the general public belong with the permitted uses rather than the prohibitions?

8.3 Retention of adaptations If we create an exhibition orientation video that is not sold there is no language allowing us to keep this after termination of the agreement.

10.2 Museum Policies and Procedures Can JT/DB provide us with a standard document to distribute to our users to help us "effectiuvely disseminate policies and procedures governing proper use"? The contract is not a good lay document for all the users.

13.1 AMICO notices

If the AMICO representative is travelling an off-line, and submits an auto message that they will return on such a date we would like the return date to be the date of the Notice.

AMICO Membership Agreement

5.2 Grant of Rights Please clarify "reproduce" & make "derivative works". We assume we are not granting rights to AMICO for print publication.

8. Dissolution of AMICO We would like to append a phrase to this paragraph "under the same contractual obligations as this agreement".

9.1 Notices (same comments as 13.1 above)
