Unless otherwise decided by KBR’s chief curator, legal deposit does not apply to works that are wholly or mainly advertising or of ephemeral interest (such as commercial catalogues and leaflets, telephone directories, timetables, price lists, calendars and diaries).
In terms of selling price, a cap has also been in place since 2008. Publishers and authors must make publications available free of charge, unless the selling price exceeds a ceiling amount. Publications priced above the cap must be made available via qrcbg@xoe.or so that KBR can purchase a copy if it wishes. The ceiling amount is adjusted in line with the index at the beginning of each calendar year:
For example, if the publication came out in 2014, the amount applied is 283 euros, which is the amount for that year of publication.
