ACADEMIC USER AGREEMENT

Repbase Update is a Database of Repetitive DNA published by Genetic Information 
Research Institute. You may download the content of the Database free of charge 
under the following conditions:

You agree NOT to make the Repbase Update (or any part thereof, including Repbase 
Reports, Repeat Maps and other derived materials, modified or not) available to 
anyone outside your research group. "Make available" includes leaving the data 
where it may be accessible to outside individuals without your direct knowledge 
(e.g. on a computer to which people outside your group have login privileges), 
as well as directly providing it to someone. Refer any requests for the Database 
to GIRI (http://www.girinst.org).

You agree NOT to use the Repbase Update for commercially restricted sequencing 
and/or proprietary sequence analysis. Commercially restricted sequencing is defined 
as sequencing for which a company retains patenting or licensing rights regarding 
the sequence, or the right to restrict or delay dissemination of the sequence; 
with the sole exception that sequencing is not considered to be commercially restricted 
if it is federally funded and the investigators adopt the data release policies endorsed 
at the Wellcome Trust-sponsored Bermuda meeting, i.e. immediate release of data as 
it is generated).

If you are doing commercially restricted sequencing or other proprietary activities 
involving any portion of Repbase Update see the instructions at the top of this page.

You agree to properly cite the Database and its specific, original contributions 
if directly related to your work (see References for details).

You certify that you are authorized to accept this agreement on behalf of your institution.

All members of your group with access to the Database agree to the same conditions.

By registering, you hereby agree to all of the above.
