Users are not allowed to perform such actions for any commercial purposes.

The IEICE prohibits users from
(i) duplicating the entire or the majority part of web pages,

Liability:

The IEICE gives no guarantee for the ComEX service. Users agree to use the ComEX service at their own risk. The IEICE is not responsible for any damage that users may suffer as a result of either using the ComEX service or being unable to use it. The IEICE will not recompense users for such damage in any manner.
In particular, the IEICE does not give guarantee that hyperlinks to references in the bibliographic information are exact and perpetually valid since targeted URLs are in general not under control of the IEICE and might be changed easily.
