Welcome to Bloomsbury Philosophy Library, a website located at http://www.bloomsburyphilosophylibrary.com (‘BPL’).
BPL is operated by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc (a company registered in England and Wales, United Kingdom ("Bloomsbury", “We” or “Us”). You can find our contact details here.
These are the terms and conditions for the use of BPL. Please read these terms and conditions carefully and make sure that you understand them before using BPL. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not use BPL.
By using BPL you are entering into a binding agreement on the basis of these terms and conditions. We may change these terms and conditions from time to time. If you continue to use BPL after any such changes take effect then you will be taken to have agreed to the revised terms and conditions. Please check these terms regularly.
In addition to these terms and conditions, the following additional terms also apply to your use of BPL (and form part of these terms and conditions):
Please be aware that if you click on a button on this site to “buy” a title, you will be directed to the appropriate product page on Bloomsbury’s main sales website. Your purchase will be made through that site and the terms and conditions of that site will govern your purchase. Those terms and conditions can be found here.
You do not have to register with us to access BPL, however your access to BPL will be restricted if you do not have an account with us. You can get access through your library or other institution if it has an Institutional Licence Agreement with us.
In order to use BPL, you must provide and maintain adequate communications and computer equipment, and obtain access to the internet directly or through devices that can access our web-based content. You are responsible for paying any and all service fees associated with such access.
Access via your library/other institution: Your right to access and use content on BPL is subject to the Institutional Licence Agreement between us and your library/other institution. Please ask your library/institution if you have any questions about your permission to use content on BPL. Subject to the Institutional Licence Agreement, we permit you to access and use those portions of BPL made available to you under that Institutional Licence Agreement.
This permission is limited: in certain circumstances Bloomsbury may remove that right if the Institutional Licence Agreement allows us to do so, and this permission cannot be transferred by you to any other person. This means that you should not allow others access to content on BPL using your login details, for example.
All other access: Bloomsbury permits you to access and use those portions of BPL made accessible free-of-charge or on a trial basis to end users. This permission is limited: we may remove that right (or access to parts of BPL), and this permission cannot be transferred by you to any other person. This means you should not allow others access to content on BPL using your login details. You must not use any of the content on BPL for commercial purposes without our written permission, and you must only use the content in accordance with these terms and conditions. You may retrieve and display content from the site on a computer screen, print and copy individual pages and, subject to the next section (Respecting intellectual property rights), store such pages in electronic form.
All rights granted to you under these terms and conditions will terminate immediately in the event that you are in breach of any of them.
You may use material from BPL for your own personal research and private study within the boundaries of the fair use and/or fair dealing copyright defences, but not for any commercial uses, without the prior written consent of Bloomsbury.
We require all users to respect our intellectual property rights. We likewise respect the intellectual property of others.
