modifications as advised on the ITC portal: www.intracen.org/itc/market-info-tools/.
General
- The Databases can either be accessed
through the Market Analysis Tools (hereafter “MAT”) portal, or each database
(www.trademap.org, www.macmap.org, www.investmentmap.org and www.sustainabilitymap.org) can be accessed directly. The MAT

provides the user ID (username) and password. Access is free of charge to users based in developing countries (see Condition 4) from 1 January 2008 and in the European Union from 1 June 2021. For users in other countries,some parts of Databases are freely
accessible. However, if users in developed countries wish to gain full access

list of developing countries is based on ITC's activities and country programs.

ITC is still active with country prograsms, are considered as developing
countries.

access to the MAT portal and Databases free of charge to selected users without
justification or prejudice to the future implementation of ITC’s official MAT
subscription options and fees for these selected users.

responsible for any use of their account under their user ID (username) or
password by any person or entity. Users are further responsible for ensuring

- All users are authorised to consult and download (within
specified limits) data and analysis from the MAT portal and databases for their
own non-commercial usage. The source of the data must be acknowledged and cited
in the following way: "Trade Map (or Market
Access Map, Investment Map and Standards Map, respectively), International
Trade Centre, www.intracen.org/marketanalysis".
Institutional License: generic version of the MAT portal and
Databases
- To access the full version of MAT portal and
Databses, users from developed countries may purchase an Institutional License
that provides access to the generic, non-customised version of the MAT portal.
This type of subscription is for users who do not wish to disseminate access to
the portal and Databases to third parties outside the organisation or
institution.
- The holder of an Institutional License is provided by ITC
with a user ID (username) and password to access the MAT portal and Databases.

and Databases for the subscribing institution license holder. User ID’s
(usernames) and passwords are confidential and should not be published,
disseminated or shared with any third party, but can be distributed or shared
within the subscribing organisation or institution. In order to simplify access
to MAT within an organisation holding an institutional license, the holder of
an institutional licence can choose the institutional user management option
where all users with same email extension (e.g. @intracen.org) can individually
register themselves to access MAT with their own user ID (username) (e.g.
marysmith@intracen.org or johnbrown@intracen.org) and password and still face
the same terms and conditions as defined for the institution.
- ITC
reserves the right to change the User ID (username) and password of an
Institutional License holder from time to time with one (1) month’s notice in
writing by email, mail or fax.
- The holder of an Institutional License
is authorised to use freely any data and analysis extracted from the MAT portal
and Databases. However, in all cases the source of the data must be
acknowledged and cited in the following way: "Trade Map (or Market Access Map, Investment Map
and Standards Map, respectively), International Trade Centre,
https://marketanalysis.intracen.org".
National License:
customised version of the MAT portal and Databases
- Users in developed countries may purchase a National License
subscription. Users in developed countries and developing countries may also
purchase for an additional fee a customised MAT portal. To do this,
users/National License holders will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with ITC that sets out conditions of access and the subscription fee.
- Holders of a National License may disseminate access to the MAT portal and
Databases to third parties within the country in question. A customised version
of the MAT portal is, in most cases referred to as "MAT {Country Name}", where
the country name is the country in which the organisation/institution has its
headquarters.
- The holder of a National License is provided with a
confidential, primary user ID (username) and password for its customised
version of the MAT portal. The holder of a National License is not authorised
to publish, disseminate, sell or share its primary user ID (username) and
password with any third parties other than those specified in the MOU between
ITC and the National License holder.
- The holder of a National License
is authorised to disseminate or sell access to its customised version of the
MAT portal to third parties in its own country. Access by third parties is only
authorised with a different, secondary user ID (username) and password obtained
from the National License holder or ITC via a registration web page.
- ITC reserves the right to change the user ID (username) and password of a
National License holder or any third party from time to time with one (1)
month’s notice in writing , by email, mail or fax.
- The holder of a
National License is authorised to pass on or sell any data and analysis
extracted from its customised MAT portal. The holder of a National License is
free to set a sales price for data and analysis extracted from its customised
MAT portal, as well as for consulting services that it may provide. However, in
all cases the source of the data must be acknowledged and cited in the
following way: "Trade Map (or Market Access Map, Investment Map and Standards
Map, respectively), International Trade Centre,
