RENEWALS
Your initial subscription for an ATP Library Service includes the first year's revision service. Most ATP libraries are revised either every two weeks or once per month. Revised materials are mailed in accordance with each product's revision cycle calendar. Please refer to the Revision Compliance Checklist for your product's revision cycle calendar due dates. In general, before expiration of your subscription, you will receive an invoice for renewal of your library. To renew your subscription and assure continued service, please return your remittance prior to the end-date indicated on the renewal invoice. Payment must be made in U.S. funds. Drawn on a U.S. bank. Wire transfer information is available at www.atp.com/policy#wiretransfer. If you have more than one ATP library, we recommend a single annual renewal. We can establish a common expiration date for your libraries.


REINSTATEMENTS
ATP has a reinstatement policy for those subscribers whose library services have lapsed for no longer than twelve months and who subsequently wish to renew. An ATP representative will review your library service and determine which publications are needed to make your library current. The cost to renew an outdated library is based on a prorated charge for missed revisions, the cost of any missing fiche (if applicable), plus a 15% surcharge. Email ATP at info@atp.com to see what it would take to bring your library up-to-date.

Please note that library services that lapsed after 12 months will be considered as new sale and will be priced accordingly.
