Q: IS IT FREE TO REGISTER?
A: There is no cost associated with
registering or using the ComBase Modelling Toolbox.
Q: WHY SHOULD I REGISTER?
A: We collect registration data for two main
purposes: to gain information about the customer base, e.g. which part of the
world or which industry or legislative agency are accessing the data; and also
so that we can target users with new information, e.g. updates and improvements
to ComBase Predictor, Perfringens Predictor and ComBase. We do not
disclose submitted details to third parties. In due course we intend to
introduce a click-button for those who wish to opt out of email from us.
