How do I renew my subscription?
Two months before a subscription is due to expire, all users will receive an email reminding them to renew. This will be followed up by two-weekly reminders until the subscription has been renewed.
All renewals can be purchased online. If paid for by bank transfer, the subscription will only be renewal after confirmation of the bank transfer has been received by IAF. Passwords for all users will remain the same.
Once you have received log-in details to the Archive, you can keep using them to log-in and renew your access at any times. This will ensure that any searches or playlists you have saved will remain accessible to you. You can always use your existing log-in to upgrade to a company subscription.
