Organizational and individual customers are eligible for significant discounts on the World Edition. Bound and loose-leaf editions may be combined to achieve the maximum discount possible. Discounts are listed in the table below:

CultureGrams products are copyrighted material. If you purchase a complete World Edition bound or loose-leaf set, unlimited "copy privileges" are included as part of the purchase price. However, for individual World, Kids, and States reports (available as PDF downloads), a copy privileges license is sold separately from the print product and must be re-purchased annually. This copy privileges license grants you the right to make copies from individual CultureGrams reports you have purchased and still be in compliance with copyright law. Making copies from individual CultureGrams reports without purchasing copy privileges is a violation of copyright. For a price quote, call 1.800.521.0600 ext. 2873.

The single-user CD included in the 2003 and 2004 print editions may not be copied, networked on multiple computers, or sold individually. The CD alone has no retail or return value. Defective CDs were available for replacement only within 45 days of initial purchase. This CD is not equivalent to the purchase of an Online Database; it does not include print rights, full search capabilities, nor the ability to upgrade to online add-on features (Recipe Collection, Photo Gallery, Famous People).

Organizations that have the “remote access” option for their Online Database subscription will be given an organization-wide username and password, allowing their patrons, employees, and/or students anywhere, anytime access to the CultureGrams Online Database. Users may allow members of their immediate families to access the Online Database using their username/password. Further distribution of the username/password is prohibited and will breach the organization's license agreement, subjecting the agreement to termination without monetary compensation. Username/password use is monitored by ProQuest.
