Document Rental Terms

The rental is valid for a period of 72 hours after first access. First access must occur within 2 weeks of ordering.

You can upgrade to a full PDF purchase during the rental period or in a subsequent 3-day grace period. The full rental price will be applied to your purchase.

Document rental is a great function to test if a PDF document includes what you need—either for regulatory or research purposes. It also helps to reduce document acquisition costs and optimize your budget.
