Access
Access is by user name and password only and is non-transferable without permission of the publisher.
Access to the site is governed by our general Terms and Conditions and specific conditions associated with approval to log on.
Pricing
The service provided by China Trade Extra is governed by the payment of an online access fee and conditions associated with it. There are three types of basic subscribers. Following are the pricing categories:
- Basic subscription. $595 for a one-year subscription in U.S./Canada, $645 elsewhere. Allows four accessees, one at a time, to China Trade Extra and all of its services. Accessees must be in the same functional department.
- Adding China Trade Extra to existing World Trade Online subscription. $300 for a one-year subscription. Same conditions as basic subscription.
- Adding China Trade Extra to an existing Inside U.S. Trade subscription. $400 for a one-year subscription. Same conditions as basic subscription.
- Site licenses. Where access needs do not fit into one of the above categories, case-by-case negotiation of site licenses will apply.
Specific terms and conditions may apply to access. For example, a location generally is defined as a street address. But there may be instances where the size of an office served by a street address (such as at a government agency or large corporate office) is deemed too large to be considered a single location. In these instances, other definitions will apply - such as a specific office or department within an organization. In another example, a library that receives subscription issues for redistribution to individual readers will not be considered a single user, and will be subject to corporate access fees or site licenses, which are negotiated case by case.
Technical Questions
China Trade Extra can be accessed from any recent web browser. The only additional software that most users may require is a copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader software, which can be downloaded at no charge from www.adobe.com.
China Trade Extra also features the complete text of a wide variety of documents. Many of these documents are available as Adobe Acrobat files to preserve their original formatting, and in some cases (when the original document was only available in paper form), these documents may be quite large. Such documents may take a considerable time to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Also, when printing these large documents, some users may need to adjust the resolution of their printers downward (e.g. from 600 to 300 or 150 dpi) in order to avoid printer errors. Please note also that most Adobe Acrobat files are much easier to read when they are printed out. If you have specific questions or problems, please contact us via e-mail at chinatrade@iwpnews.com and we will be happy to assist you.
