Entrant shall under no circumstances use or make the WorldCat Records available to any entity for sale, resale, lease, license, commercial use or other distribution.

Entrant agrees that no application or use of the WorldCat Records not expressly permitted by this agreement will be made by Entrant without the prior written consent of OCLC.
