Update Service

General

The CDROMS of the BAS corpora are no mass production. Each CDROM is pressed from the last upgraded master available at the time of order ('press on demand'). Check the version number in the main documentation file for the exact version you are using. Each CDROM is mounted and tested for structure consistancy before shipping. However, in some very rare cases you may receive a CDROM that shows certain errors caused by the raw material. Please send back such a CDROM with a short note describing the error and BAS will replace the CDROM without any charges. Please note that optical pressed CDROMs have a lower life time than pressed CDROMs (e.g. 10 years). Please handle them with care. Also note that BAS takes no responsibility of any kind for damage caused by data errors on our CDROMs.

Update Service

The email address you give on your order will be used to inform you about new editions/upgrades of your purchased corpus or speech resource. Update information will be only given via email.
Depending on your license BAS will give you the following support, provided that BAS has the ability to keep up that service. As a non-profit organization we cannot guarantee the Update Service for an unlimited time.

Scientific License

The purchased license entitles your institution

to receive any new symbolic data to the licensed corpus via FTP without any license fee or production fee.

Commercial License

The purchased license entitles your company

to purchase as many CDROM copies of the licensed corpus as you need.
to purchase upgraded versions (or older versions) of the licensed corpus without paying the license fee again.
to receive any new symbolic data to the licensed corpus via FTP without any license fee or production fee.

Symbolic data include all data except the speech signal itself, e.g. labeling, transcript, segmentation, lexicon, software, etc.

Error Reports

BAS is always trying to keep the quality of the speech corpora as high as possible. If you or your colleagues report severe errors in the licensed corpus that causes BAS to produce a new edition of this corpus, your company/institution will receive one set of free copies of this new edition without paying any license or productions fees. A new edition of a BAS corpus is defined by an increase of the first version digit (e.g. PD1 2.3 -> PD1 3.0).
