Subscribing to Xchange and Xchange Fees

 

Subscribing to Xchange

Users are charged a fee to cover the costs of providing the Xchange service.

XChange has three options in which you can subscribe to the service. A One-Time Use account will charge the user $5 for an initial fee, with searches charged at .20 cents each and documents at .50 cents each. These charges will be credited from the initial $5 fee. If the user doesn't use all of the $5 fee, then they can create an account and return at a later time to use any remaining credits. A Guest account will charge the same as the One-Time Use account, but no account will be created and any remaining credits from the initial $5 fee will be forfeited. A Monthly Subscription account will require that the user subscribe to the service. A Monthly Subscription account will charge the user $25 for the initial set up, and then $40 for every month that the subscription lasts. This fee covers 500 searches for free, and documents at .50 cents each.
