General / About the Site (back to top) How do I use the site? The site is basically made up of 2 components:
There is no need to register for the free anti-dumping resources. You are free to use these resources and tools on an unlimited basis, subject to the terms and conditions which can be viewed by clicking the following link. Do you have to pay to use the site? There is no charge for unlimited access to and use of the free resources and tools (silver and blue items). Use of the premium content will only available be to subscribers. Yearly or quarterly subscriptions will be available which will provide access to all premium content. It will also be possible to buy individual premium items on a pay per item basis.

What happens if my question about using the site is not answered here? If you have question that is not answered here, please free to the principal author (Cliff Stevenson, cs@cliffstevensonpublishing.com) or call us by phone on +44 (0)1892 526781.
What’s the catch with free access? Why is the service free….what’s the catch? There is no catch. There really is such a thing as a free lunch! Obviously, I hope that some users who do not subscribe today may become subscribers in the future. However, a regular user of the free AD resources who never becomes a subscriber is still very welcome to the site. For many years I have answered questions from researchers and students looking for information on anti-dumping. I remember what is like being a student and I am always keen to help if I can. It gives me satisfaction if this website can help to fill an information gap for researchers and students.
How often is the free section of the site updated? The free content will be regularly updated, usually at least on a weekly basis. This will include:
Are there restrictions on my use of the site? You are free to use the site as you wish, subject to copyright and other terms and conditions.How do I subscribe to the newsletter and other updates (e.g. GTP)? All free publications are available either by free subscription or through visiting the site. The free subscription service will be available to receive the monthly newsletter and other free updates from antidumpingpublishing.com (including the Global Trade Protection Report). Just send an email to Cliff Stevenson at email address cs@antidumpingpublishing.com to be added to the distribution list. Do you still produce the GTP? Yes. Moreover, it is not part of the premium content and is still available free of charge! Terms and conditions for using the free content Please check the terms and conditions for using the free AD resources.
Premium Content (back to top)
What will the premium section of the site contain? See the About us section for a description of the premium content.
When will the premium content be available? The premium content will be available from Thursday 1 February 2007. How will I be able to access the premium content? Premium content will be available by subscription or one-off purchase basis. Access to premium content will be by user name and password only. You will also be asked to give your name. This assists in monitoring the usage of single and multiple license holders. Subscription will give access to all premium content for the period of the subscription. Subscriptions will be available either per quarter (3 months) or annually (12 months). It will be possible to purchase individual articles or dispute case notes on a one-off basis. The article may be viewed or printed off at any time once purchase has been made for a period of at least 12 months. Will premium publications be available in print? It is expected that the Global Anti-Dumping Manual will be available in hard copy around the same time as the launch of the premium section of the site (February 2007). It will also be possible to purchase print copies of individual articles or casenotes from the premium section. More information will be available when this part of the site goes live in February 2007. How often will premium content be updated? For the premium content, the objective of this initiative is to create a dynamic resource that will always be up to date. The Global Anti-Dumping Manual and the other main premium information provided by the site will never more than one month out of date. They will be regularly updated to reflect new interpretations as new Panel/Appellate Body rulings are published. Usually, updates will occur very regularly and the site will often be updated within days, or even hours, of real time events in the anti-dumping world.
How will premium items be identified? Premium items will be shown gold (as opposed to blue or silver for free items). What will be the cost of subscribing to the premium content? The price of access to the premium content will be finalised when the service goes live in February 2007. However, provisionally, it is expected that prices will be as follows; Annual subscription GBP 895 Quarterly subscription GBP 295 Individual article GB50 Individual WTO AD dispute filenote GB25 All prices are shown in GB pound sterling (GBP). VAT will be added to these prices if applicable. What form of payment will be accepted? The site will contain the latest technology in terms of e-commerce/subscription facilities. It will be possible to pay for access to the premium content either by credit card for instant access or by the more traditional invoice and bank transfer/bankers draft method. Payment by Visa, Mastercard or American Express will allow instant access through the immediate provision of a username and password.
