The Chest Order, together with the Licence Terms and Conditions, and any exceptions listed below, create a legally binding contract between your institution, organisation or company and the Licensor. Therefore please read the terms and conditions carefully and only submit a Chest Order if its terms and conditions are acceptable to your institution, organisation or company and you have the authority to make the financial commitment shown.
This Site licence is subject to the terms and conditions for the Standard Chest Licence for Software.
Jisc will invoice Licensed Institutions for the initial fee on receipt of a completed order. Sites who have subscribed to the 3 year licence will then be invoiced annually 3 months in advance of the anniversary of their licence start date until the end of their Commitment Period.
You are advised that because of the requirement for Jisc to collect monies due before the anniversary date 2 charges may initially fall into an academic accounting year.
Chest is an Enterprise of Jisc. All Purchase orders must be made out to Jisc, 4 Portwall Lane, Bristol, BS1 6NB to cover all charges plus VAT.

The use of the Product for the administration and management of the Licensee’s educational and research operations is permitted under this Licence.
As home-use rights are already included as standard, personal licences are not required under this Agreement.
Note that, once allocated to an individual, a Per User licence cannot be reallocated within the licence year. In committing to a 3 year licence this means that you can reallocate Per User licences at the start of years 2 and 3.
Licensees may add licences to those they have already purchased through an initial Order, by means of a subsequent Order. Fees for such additional licences shall be prorated on a monthly basis so that the additional licences shall be co-terminus with the existing licences. However, the minimum prorated Fee payable for such additional licences is six-twelfths of the annual Fee payable, even if the initial term of the additional licences is less than 6 months.
