Educators, students, public libraries and hospitals that subscribe to SMART Imagebase through EBSCO Publishing ("Academic Users") may display the Images for classroom teaching and learning purposes; display the Images for academic purposes, such as seminars and lectures; and display the Images on an academic internet or intranet web site that is:

  1. not accessible by the public, being protected by username and password, and

Fees

Upon your acceptance of this Agreement and on each one-year anniversary thereafter for so long as you continue to use any of the Images pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, you shall pay to Nucleus a fee for use of the Images equal to Nucleus' then-current SMART Imagebase license fee for Academic Users.
