6.3 Access to Subscription
Content
Where we provide you with a username and
password, this is for single user access, for personal use by you
only. You must not allow other people to access the system using
your username and password, as this is a breach of the terms and
conditions for VRL Content that you have agreed to. If you believe
that your password security has become compromised, contact
Customer Services who will reset it for you.
Where we provide you with a PDF file of
Subscription Content, this is a single user licence unless
otherwise purchased, for personal use by you only. You must not
allow other people access to this PDF as this is a breach of the
terms and conditions for VRL Content that you have agreed to.
Where we provide you with Direct Access to
Subscription Content, the access licence we grant you covers the
number of people or business entities that we agreed to when we
accepted your order. To implement your order for Direct Access, you
or your IT department will need to provide us with a small amount
of technical but non-confidential information about your IT
network. Without this information we are unable to set up the
service.
We monitor Subscription Content for usage
that exceeds the agreed rates. We do provide multi-user
subscription options for all these access methods, contact
customer.services@vrlfinancialnews.com
for more information.
6.3.1 Existing subscribers to
IAB
Subscription to International Accounting Intelligence (IAI) is
contigent upon the customer having also subscribed to IAB. Whilst
an existing customer may have a larger subscription (by value
and/or access) to IAB than IAI, the existing IAB subscription must
always be equal to or greater than the subscription to IAI.
6.4 Termination
If you no longer wish to access Subscription
Content then you should notify Customer Services and we will
disable your username or stop your Direct Access. There is no
refund available for any time remaining on your Subscription
Content.
In the unlikely event that VRL needs to
terminate your Subscription Agreement then we will notify you using
the contact details you provide us with during the order process.
If your contact details change then you should notify Customer
Services at customer.services@vrlfinancialnews.com
If we reasonably believe that Subscription
Content is being accessed by more users than licensed, VRL reserves
