Effective Date: September 10, 2026
Welcome to Global MARC Solutions. By accessing or using our website and engaging our cataloging and metadata services, you agree to the terms and conditions outlined below. These Terms of Services establish the general framework for using our website, requesting our services, submitting project information, and working with our cataloging team.
Global MARC Solutions provides professional library cataloging and metadata services to libraries, universities, publishers, distributors, government organizations, digital libraries, and library service providers.
Our services may include:
Services are provided according to the specifications, standards, workflows, and requirements agreed upon with the client.
Before beginning a project, clients may be required to provide relevant information, including:
Clients are responsible for providing accurate and complete project information. Any significant changes to the original requirements may affect the project scope, timeline, or quotation.
Cataloging work may be performed using applicable professional standards and practices, including MARC21, RDA, LCSH, LCC, DDC, authority control, subject analysis, and other agreed-upon specifications.
Where a client has specific cataloging rules, templates, workflows, or metadata requirements, those requirements should be communicated before the project begins.
The final deliverables will be prepared according to the specifications agreed upon for the particular project.
Project pricing is based on the scope and requirements of each individual project.
Factors that may affect pricing include:
A customized quotation may be provided after reviewing the client’s requirements.
A quotation does not constitute acceptance of a project until the project scope, pricing, deliverables, and other applicable terms have been mutually agreed upon.
Project timelines depend on the size, complexity, language requirements, resource type, and agreed workflow.
We make reasonable efforts to meet agreed delivery schedules. However, delays may occur when required source information, records, files, specifications, or clarifications are not provided on time.
Where project requirements change during production, the delivery schedule may need to be revised accordingly.
Global MARC Solutions aims to provide accurate, consistent, and professionally prepared bibliographic records.
Quality-control procedures may include record review, MARC validation, metadata checking, consistency checks, subject and classification review, and compliance with agreed client specifications.
If a client identifies an issue related to the agreed project specifications, the matter should be communicated within a reasonable period so that it can be reviewed and addressed.
Clients are responsible for providing accurate information and the necessary materials required to complete the project.
Clients should ensure that they have the appropriate rights or authorization to provide any books, files, bibliographic records, databases, documents, or other materials supplied to Global MARC Solutions for processing.
The client is also responsible for reviewing and confirming any client-specific requirements before production begins.
We understand that cataloging projects may involve unpublished materials, institutional information, bibliographic databases, internal workflows, and other confidential information.
Global MARC Solutions will treat client-provided project information as confidential and will use such information only as reasonably necessary to provide the agreed services, unless disclosure is required by law or otherwise authorized by the client.
Clients retain ownership of materials, documents, bibliographic data, and other intellectual property that they provide to us, subject to any applicable third-party rights.
The ownership and permitted use of catalog records, enhanced metadata, templates, workflows, and other project deliverables will be determined according to the agreement between Global MARC Solutions and the client.
Clients are responsible for ensuring that materials supplied to us do not infringe the rights of third parties.
Cataloging work may involve information obtained from bibliographic databases, authority files, library resources, publishers, or other third-party sources.
While reasonable care is taken to ensure accuracy and consistency, Global MARC Solutions does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of information originating from third-party sources.
The information provided on this website is intended to describe our services and areas of expertise.
Service availability, language support, workflows, pricing, and project capabilities may vary according to individual project requirements.
Website content may be updated periodically without prior notice.
Global MARC Solutions will make reasonable professional efforts to provide services according to the agreed project requirements.
However, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for losses arising from inaccurate information supplied by clients, third-party source data, unauthorized use of deliverables, changes made to records after delivery, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Any liability relating to a specific project will be subject to the terms agreed between Global MARC Solutions and the client.
We may update our services, website content, or these Terms of Services when necessary.
Updated terms will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Clients should review the terms applicable to their engagement before commencing a new project.
Any project-specific agreement, quotation, statement of work, or written arrangement between Global MARC Solutions and a client will take precedence over general website information where there is a conflict.
Any applicable legal matters will be handled in accordance with the laws and jurisdiction specified in the relevant client agreement.
If you have questions about these Terms of Services or would like to discuss a cataloging or metadata project, please contact us.
