3.5.1.4 Policies about liability and rights challenges

3.5.1.4 - The repository shall have policies in place to address liability and challenges to ownership/rights.

The CLOCKSS Archive is a dark archive; no access to the content is permitted, no ownership of the content passes hands, nor are any rights save preservation transferred, unless and until the CLOCKSS Board determines that a trigger event has taken place. The CLOCKSS: Publisher Agreement specifies the circumstances under which a publisher's content can be withdrawn from the Archive, and the circumstances and processes under which the CLOCKSS Board may determine that a trigger event has taken place.
