the agreement of the affected party or

be obtained by the user.

Paragraphs 1 and 2 also apply tosearch aids and reproductions of any

type.

The presentation of archives andsearch aids may be refused when

the high value, condition of

preservation, or state of order would

make this unadvisable,

the provision or procurement of an

archived item would require an

unreasonable cost outlay,

faulty information provided by the

user makes it considerably more

difficult to provide,
