The NCAR/Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) does not make copies of the VHS video tapes. This is primarily due to the degradation and loss of resolution from the original during the copying process. Thus, we treat these tapes like a library book; that is, we will send you the original tapes but ask you to return them to us when done. You can reproduce them at your own expense if you wish, but you are responsible for any damage that might be incurred in this process. Also, because these are the originals, you must return them to EOL via a method to track them (i.e. FedEX, UPS, Overnight Mail, etc.) in the event they are lost in shipment. By placing an order for VHS video tapes, you agree to these conditions.
