UCC THESIS DEPOSIT LICENCE In consideration of the University College Cork preserving and communicating research outputs in the Works, I agree as follows. For the purposes of this Deposit Agreement, the expression “Work(s)” shall mean the research thesis being deposited including abstract, text, images and related data and stored in an electronic format submitted post examination. I would like to deposit my thesis hereafter referred to as the “Work”, with University College Cork – National University of Ireland, Cork (“University College Cork”) in the University College Cork institutional repository (hereinafter referred to as the “Repository”), and agree to the following: GRANT OF LICENCE By depositing the Work to the Repository, I hereby grant to University College Cork, a non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide, perpetual licence (i) to store and preserve, and (ii) subject to any embargo, restricted or controlled access, to reproduce, display and make copies of the Work via any medium and to make available the Work to third parties in the manner and in accordance with the terms and conditions described herein. I agree that University College Cork or any third party with whom University College Cork has an agreement to do so may, without changing the content of the Work, electronically store, copy or translate, migrate, reformat or rearrange the Work to any medium or format for the purpose of future preservation and accessibility. I acknowledge that University College Cork is not under any obligation to reproduce or display the Work in the same format or resolution in which it was originally deposited. The rights granted to University College Cork under this agreement are non-exclusive and royalty free. Nothing in this agreement shall prevent me from publishing the Work in its present version or future versions elsewhere. DEPOSIT OF THE WORK IN THE REPOSITORY I understand and agree that, once the Work is deposited, a citation to the Work will always remain visible in the Repository. Upon my request and subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, 2014, as amended, access to the Work may be restricted with the agreement of the Repository administrators, which will not be unreasonably withheld. University College Cork reserves the right to remove the Work from the Repository at any time and while every care will be taken to preserve the Work, University College Cork, shall not be liable for loss or damage to any Work and shall incur no liability for loss or damage to the Work. I understand and agree that University College Cork does not have any obligation to take legal action on my behalf, or on behalf of any other rights holder in the event of breach of intellectual property rights, or any other right, in the Work and that it shall have no responsibility or liability for any breach of intellectual property rights or any other right in the Work. I DECLARE AND WARRANT AS FOLLOWS: • that I am the owner of the copyright in the Work and author or co-author of the Work, and/or that I have the authority of the owner(s) of the copyright in the Work or author or the author(s) of the Work to enter into this agreement and to grant the licence contemplated by this agreement and to grant the right to University College Cork to make available the Work in the manner described herein; • that I have exercised reasonable care to ensure that the Work is original, and does not to the best of my knowledge contain material that is defamatory or obscene, infringes any third party’s copyright or other intellectual property right or is otherwise unlawful or objectionable; • if the Work includes any material owned by third party copyright holder(s) for which consent is required for its use, I have obtained written consent from or in behalf of the copyright holder(s) to include that material in any version of my Work and this consent encompasses the rights that I have granted to University College Cork; any such consent is available for inspection by University College Cork; • that the grant of a licence to University College Cork under this agreement does not constitute a breach of any agreement to which I am a party, including any publishing agreement, any confidentiality agreement or other agreement restricting publication in all or part of the Work, any sponsorship or collaboration agreement governing my research or work at University College Cork or elsewhere or any other agreement; • written consents from persons featuring in any photographs, video/film or sound recordings incorporated in the Work have been obtained and are available for inspection; and • the grant of rights in this Agreement does not constitute a breach of any other agreement, publishing or otherwise, including any confidentiality or publication restriction provisions, or export control law, or collaboration agreements governing my research or work (or that of those who have authorised me to grant rights given in this Agreement on their behalf) at University College Cork or elsewhere. This Agreement and all questions of construction, validity and performance under this Agreement shall be governed by Irish law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
