You may access the publically available Reports on our website. However, access to premium versions of the Reports requires a paid subscription. You can subscribe to our Reports by purchasing a subscription on our website. Reports are generally released in the first week of each month for the preceding month. If you are a subscribing user ("Subscriber"), a profile will be created for you on our website for your name, email, username and password ("Profile") and you will receive your first issue Report for the preceding month. You may have the option to create a Profile using Google, Facebook or another third party website. However, the website will prompt each Subscriber to provide a name and email address. You agree that the Company may use your Profile to authenticate you on the website. You are responsible for all uses of the website using your Profile. You, not the Company, shall be responsible for maintaining and protecting your Profile. If your contact information, or other information relating to your Profile changes, you must notify the Company promptly and keep your information current.
