What is the price for a StrikeIron Marketplace Web service?
Web services are purchased on a subscription basis, which means they are a reoccurring charge based on a time frame. The options are monthly, annual or one-time purchase. The price includes a set number of hits for that specified time frame (a subscriber has the option to prorate the first month’s worth of hits at a lower price, and then start receiving a full month’s worth of hits for the following month). Hits are counted when a user accesses or “invokes” the Web service. The number of hits counted when a Web service is accessed or “invoked” is determined by the data provider and can vary. At the end of the specified time frame, the counter is reset and starts over (except for one-time purchases that expire in 90 days). Unused hits are not carried over. If the subscriber uses more than the allocated hits for the specified time frame, then he or she is charged an additional fee (which is usually higher than the normal per-hit fee). This is similar to the way most cell phone charges op
