Response Deadline: 
September 15, 2015

Subscription Term

Begins: 

October 1, 2015

Ends: 

September 30, 2016

Renewal pricing is now available for the Canadian Business & Current Affairs (CBCA) Suite.

A new option has been added to the pricing model. This year, libraries may choose either:

 

  • A one-year license, at a 3% increase
  • A two-year license, at a 2% annual increase for each of 2015/16 and 2016/17

Libraries choosing the one-year model this year may move to the two-year model after the two-year term ends in 2017.

The vendor agrees that if a library chooses the two-year option, but due to financial hardship must cancel, the library should provide 30 days notice of intention to cancel prior to the start of the second subscription year.
