3.  If you violate your license under UCITA, the software/database vendor is allowed to use “self-help” procedures to deal with the violation.  This means that you could have your database taken away or deactivated (with 15 days warning).  Under the old system, the database producer would have to notify the library of the violation and then give the licensee a chance to correct the violation.  However, even under UCITA, the product or database license has to stipulate the “self-help” provisions before this option can be used.  Under UCITA, the licensor can, however, contractually decide when and what sort of license breach will be sufficient for it to invoke electronic self help. In August 2000, a change in UCITA was proposed that would not allow self-help deactivation respecting mass-market software sold through retail channels, though it would continue for sales to corporate or other “non-consumer “ users. Where a library falls in this new dichotomy is unclear.
	In a similar vein, license preservation and archival functions will be hampered if electronic products “disappear” upon expiration of the license.
