Common use of New Product Development Clause in Contracts

New Product Development. MCLS encourages exploration of new products and services by its members. When a new service requires software development work for a fee, the system will pay the cost of development if the service or product will, now or in the future, benefit more than one member library’s service population. If the development will benefit a single library only, that member library will bear the cost of development. The MCLS Director reserves the right to decide if a service meets the criteria of benefitting more than one member library service area population. If a director believes the member library has been charged for a development cost unfairly, the director may appeal to the System Services & Operations Committee (SSOC) for a review of the decision.
