GLG Library Terms of Use

  • The following GLG Library Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern use and access to the GLG Library.  By accessing the GLG Library, you agree to these Terms. This site and all associated content are the property of Gerson Lehrman Group, Inc. (“GLG”). The Terms shall apply to all GLG Library use regardless of how content is received or accessed, including via third party channels.

    GLG hosts web and virtual events with subject matter experts who are members of its network of industry professionals, consultants and other individuals (“Network Members” formerly known as Council Members) and non-Network Member speakers (the Network Member and non-Network Member speakers are collectively referred to herein as “Event Speakers”), with transcriptions, recordings and other associated materials on occasion (e.g., presentations) (collectively “Content”) made available to its clients for licensed use through the GLG Library.

    GLG reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these Terms at any time. It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the GLG Library following the posting of changes will mean that you accept and agree to the changes. In the event you have an agreement in place governing your access to and use of the GLG Library (an “Agreement”), these Terms still apply.  However, in the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Agreement, the terms of your Agreement shall govern.

    Use: GLG hereby grants to you, and you hereby accept, a revocable, nonexclusive and nontransferable license to access and use the GLG Library for your internal business purposes only. You shall provide access to the Content only to your current employees. You may use and apply the concepts derived from the Content in your business, but you may not identify or quote Event Speakers, GLG or the Content or any part thereof, or attribute insights or opinions to Event Speakers or GLG without the prior written consent of GLG. You shall take all precautions that are reasonably necessary to prevent any unauthorized distribution or redistribution of Content and protect the proprietary rights of GLG and the Event Speaker (if applicable) in the GLG Library or Content. You accept responsibility for, and acknowledge you exercise your own independent judgment with respect to your selection of any Content, your use thereof, and any results obtained therefrom. The Content shall not constitute investment, legal, tax or other advice or any recommendation of any nature.

    You shall not modify, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or decompile Content, in any manner, in whole or in part. You shall not support or use software, devices, scripts, robots, or any other means or processes (including crawlers, browser plugins and add-ons, or any other technology) to scrape transcripts or input, or attempt to input, transcripts, information contained therein, or any other Content into any artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language models, algorithms, software, tool, database, or any other technologies without the prior written consent of GLG.

    For any Event Speakers you first encounter through the GLG Library, you agree not to knowingly employ or engage them, directly or indirectly as a speaker, director or advisory board member, or for consulting of a similar nature to that available through GLG without the involvement of or prior written permission from GLG for a period of one year from the most recent GLG Library access or introduction to such Event Speaker, or through the end of your commercial relationship with GLG, whichever is later. For purposes of this paragraph, “introduction” to an Event Speaker shall mean the identification of such Event Speaker to you by virtue of your access to the GLG Library.

    Taxes: You acknowledge that any amounts invoiced may be subject to sales tax. You are solely responsible for all applicable sales, use, or similar taxes that may be due and owing related to your access to the GLG Library.

    Additional Terms: You agree and acknowledge that the Content is and shall remain valuable intellectual property owned by or licensed to GLG and that no proprietary rights are being transferred to you in such materials or in any of the information contained therein. All Content is the Copyrighted property of GLG, and all rights are reserved. You and GLG shall comply with all laws applicable to use of the GLG Library or Content, including without limitation, any export control laws. GLG owns and may use GLG Library usage information to build and improve GLG’s business, products, marketing, and services. Further GLG may share aggregated and anonymized usage information with third parties.

    In no event shall GLG be liable to you, or to any third party, for any lost profits, incidental, consequential, punitive, special, direct, or indirect damages arising out of or in connection with the GLG Library, even if advised as to the possibility of such damages, regardless of whether the claim for such damages is based in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise.

    Disclaimer of Warranty: GLG MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE GLG LIBRARY, CONTENT OR OTHER MATTERS COVERED BY THESE TERMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR THAT THE EVENT LIBRARY WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED, EXCEPT THAT GLG HAS ALL REQUIRED AUTHORITY TO SHARE THE CONTENT WITH YOU.

    Termination for Breach: GLG may terminate your access to the GLG Library effective immediately upon written notice to you if: (1) You fail to pay any portion of the fees due for access within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from GLG that payment is past due; or (2) You breach any other provisions of these Terms and you fail to cure within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach from GLG.

    Dispute Resolution: Any dispute, controversy or claim, whether in tort, contract or otherwise, that arises from or relates to these Terms, including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable (“Disputes”), shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in your Agreement. In the event no such Agreement exists or said Agreement has no dispute resolution provision, any Disputes shall be exclusively and finally determined by a single-arbiter arbitration held in New York City under the rules of JAMS in effect from time to time. The Disputes shall be governed by laws of the State of New York, without regard to New York’s conflict of law rules, and the enforceability of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The language to be used in the arbitral proceeding will be English. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Arbitrations arising from the same or related Disputes may be consolidated in one arbitral proceeding.
