there is no further information as yet but I will post an update to the Blog once Pamlimpsest is officially launched and look closely at these points and others.

Of course when you look at the small print of deposit researchers rarely have cast iron indefinite guarantees from any service provider in either the public or commercial sector. I have a particular research interest in this area and hope to look at T&C for online archiving/access services for personal digital collections as part of the AHRC-funded Digital Lives research project (a separate blog on this in a few months time perhaps). The key points may be around rights to transfer/withdraw data should access terms cease or change significantly ie we need to be concerned most about rights, sustainability/persistence and transferability of the data collection rather than specific services for them which may change.
