Terms of Sale

1. Who we are

WRI Intelligence (intelligence.worldresearch.org) is a service of the World Research Institute — the intelligence and research arm of the World Certification Institute, a global certification and accreditation body serving organisations in 150+ countries. These terms govern purchases from it. The service is operated by World Certification Institute Pte. Ltd. (UEN 201727672W), trading as World Research Institute. Regional office: 10 Anson Road, #28-03A, International Plaza, Singapore 079903. Email: support@worldresearch.org.

2. What you are buying

Our products are digital content: point-in-time index report editions, supplied online and read in your browser. We also offer recurring per-country subscriptions. Regional and World reports are published openly; country reports are paid.

3. Ownership vs. access

• Own a single edition — you keep that edition, with online access in your library for as long as we operate the service (see the continuity commitment below), even after any subscription ends.
• Country subscription — you read the most recent 12 published editions online while subscribed, and you own every new edition published during your paid period. Online reading of the rolling window ends when the subscription lapses; the editions you own remain in your library under the continuity commitment below.

Continuity commitment. Editions you own remain available to read in your library for as long as we operate the service. If we ever discontinue access to an owned edition, we will give at least 90 days’ advance notice and provide a downloadable copy during that period, so you always keep what you paid for.

4. Prices, taxes & payment

Prices are shown in US dollars and may be exclusive of taxes/VAT, which are added where applicable. Business buyers may provide a VAT/business identifier (B2B reverse-charge may apply). Payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store full card details.

5. Immediate supply & the right of withdrawal (EU/EEA & UK consumers)

Because our content is delivered instantly, EU/EEA and UK consumers (natural persons buying outside a trade or business) are asked at checkout to (a) request that supply begin immediately and (b) acknowledge that, once supply begins, they lose the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal/cancellation for the delivered content. Where you have not given that consent, the statutory 14-day right applies until supply begins. This right does not apply to business buyers or to buyers outside the EU/EEA and UK. See the Refunds & Cancellation policy.

6. Licence & acceptable use

Owned editions are licensed to a single named user, with single-user online access attributed to your account. You may not redistribute, resell, sub-license, or publish the reports or their data, in whole or in substantial part, except (a) as permitted for headline figures with attribution under our citation policy, or (b) under a separate written licence — see Licensing & Syndication. Figures are computed under WRI’s published methodology and are subject to scheduled revision.

7. Subscriptions & cancellation

Subscriptions auto-renew at the disclosed cadence and price until cancelled. You can cancel anytime from your account; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period (no proration). Full terms are in the Refunds & Cancellation policy.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, without depriving consumers of the mandatory protections of their country of residence. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

9. Changes & contact

We may update these terms; the version in force at your purchase governs that purchase. Questions: support@worldresearch.org.
