Is anyone familiar with the term "Specific Performance" used in a
license for an electronic resource?
Recently I have seen it used in one license, and in another license
language was used to state that the publisher could impose fees upon a
library if it deemed a breach of terms had occurred...

Seems like a very open ended clause that hypothetically could place
the library in quite a bind in the (unlikely event) such a clause was
exercised.

Any thoughts on this, thanks in advance.
