ValueDescriptionNotesIssue numberModified in Issue
00No price-specific constraintsAllows positive indication that there are no additional constraints (other than those specified in <EpubUsageConstraint>). By convention, use 01 in <PriceConstraintStatus>3457
01PreviewPreview before purchase. Allows a retail customer, account holder or patron to view or listen to a proportion of the book before purchase. Also applies to borrowers making use of ‘acquisition on demand’ models in libraries, and to ‘subscription’ models where the purchase is made on behalf of the reader. Generally used to specify different preview percentages across different customer types55
06LendLendable by the purchaser to other device owner, account holder or patron, eg library lending (use where the library product is not identified with a separate <ProductIdentifier> from the consumer product). The ‘primary’ copy becomes unusable while the secondary copy is on loan, unless a number of concurrent borrowers is also specified33
07Time-limited licenseE-publication license is time-limited. Use with code 02 from List 146 and either a time period in days, weeks or months in <PriceConstraintLimit>, or a Valid until date in <PriceConstraintLimit>. The purchased copy becomes unusable when the license expires. For clarity, a perpetual license is the default, but may be specified explicitly with code 01 from list 146, or with code 02 and a limit <Quantity> of 0 days33
08Loan renewalMaximum number of consecutive loans or loan extensions (eg from a library) to a single device owner, account holder or patron. Note that a limit of 1 indicates that a loan cannot be renewed or extended3337
09Multi-user licenseE-publication license is multi-user. Maximum number of concurrent users licensed to use the product should be given in <PriceConstraintLimit>. For clarity, unlimited concurrencyis the default, but may be specified explicitly with code 01 from list 146, or with code 02 and a limit <Quantity> of 0 users36
10Preview on premisesPreview locally before purchase. Allows a retail customer, account holder or patron to view a proportion of the book (or the whole book, if no proportion is specified) before purchase, but ONLY while located physically in the retailer’s store (eg while logged on to the store wifi). Also applies to borrowers making use of ‘acquisition on demand’ models in libraries44
