I've successfully asked to have walk-in access added to licenses by simply asking. I've never encountered that other type of clause. I suggest you just ask them to strike that. In my experience a simple request will often result in the vendor removing an
objectionable clause. Sometimes I think the licenses are written for use with their for-profit customers, but they'll remove clauses for a non-profit educational institution. If they refuse, you could involve your university general counsel in reviewing
the license - a lawyer's objection may carry more weight if the vendor wants your business.</div>

A license has recently come across my desk with two unique clauses that I haven’t seen before. The first section defines authorized users as ONLY those that are employed by the institution OR students and teachers of the institution. The language seems to exclude
walk-in or guest users from accessing this product. The second section that troubles me indicates that all rights in any patents, designs, copyright, trademarks, etc. that are created or arising from the use of the product are to be assigned to the product
owner. Has anyone encountered language like this before, and have you been able to successfully negotiate removal of these license terms? They appear to place an undue burden on the library and is not something that we feel can be enforceable.
