Can I sample the service, prior to payment?
Yes. A one-week free trial is available upon registration (only name and email required – no credit card information requested). This trial period allows you to operate as a Member for seven (7) consecutive days. Membership sign-up and payment of nominal fee is required when the trial period ends. Payments made via secure 2Checkout credit card system. No credit card information is required until seven-day trial period ends. The next time you sign-in after your trial period ends, you will be asked to register.
Once I am authorized access as a Member, how long will my Membership last?
Due to the static nature of INPUT iCenter content and the natural processes of conducting research, it is likely that Members will require access to content for a limited period. Therefore, our Membership period lasts for six months. After six months, your Membership will automatically expire. Upon expiration, you are welcome to reinstate your Membership. There is no automatic billing; there is no recurring charge billed to your credit card. Membership reinstatement is not limited.
What payment options are offered and what is level of security?
We make it easy for you to process all credit card types – even American Express™ and Discover™ from anywhere in the world using 2Checkout. This leading payment service offers PCI Level 1 Compliance, the highest level of protection against fraud and data breaches, ensures all data is secure and goes beyond AVS and CVV checks. Pay with confidence using 2Checkout.
Will the INPUT iCenter save my searches so I can access them in a subsequent session?
