Membership & Pricing

Ranney Index can cover different collecting and reference subjects through separate subject-specific Indexes. A membership to one subject gives access to that Index and the research areas included within it.

For example, the Kenner Star Wars Production Index and Development Index are both part of the same Kenner Star Wars membership. A future Index covering a different collecting subject would normally be a separate membership unless its purchase page expressly says otherwise.

Some Ranney Indexes may eventually be eligible for a discounted multi-Index bundle, but not every Ranney Index will necessarily be bundle-compatible. Bundles will only be offered where the subjects, licensing, platform structure or membership model make a combined plan appropriate.

No multi-Index bundle is currently required to use the Kenner Star Wars Index. If a bundle is introduced later, its included Indexes, price, upgrade treatment and renewal terms will be shown clearly before purchase.

The Kenner Star Wars membership costs US$19.99 for 12 months from payment. Card payments do not automatically renew; PayPal subscriptions renew annually until cancelled. You may cancel future PayPal renewal through PayPal. Cancellation stops the next annual charge; access continues through the end of the already-paid membership term.

Ranney Index may occasionally offer promotional or reactivation pricing to eligible former members. Any such offer will state its price and term when it is made.

Unless a different price is clearly displayed at checkout, the current price for one individual Ranney Index membership is US$19.99 for 12 months, with manual renewal for direct credit/debit cards or automatic renewal for PayPal subscriptions. Direct web payments are processed through PayPal, which may offer additional supported payment methods at checkout. Any currency conversion or transaction terms are shown by the applicable payment flow.

Annual memberships are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise at purchase.

What can I explore for FREE?

The Kenner Star Wars Index includes 20 complete FREE Production records and 20 complete FREE Development records, available without payment or account creation. These are genuine research records—not fabricated examples—with the information supported by each record's evidence. Typed search on the public Index pages searches only those curated FREE selections. Visitors can view the complete range of filter choices, while applying the full territory, year, category and movie/line filters requires membership. Other records may show limited public reference previews instead of full research.

You can also create a free Ranney Index account without purchasing a membership. Account creation does not start billing, and you can choose to activate membership later. Saved items, My Collection and the full research and filter tools require the appropriate active membership.

What happens when a membership expires?

When a paid membership ends, access to member-only material for that Index ends as well. Complimentary or manually granted access follows the expiration or revocation terms assigned to that entitlement and does not create a billing obligation. Public reference information remains available. Memberships to any other Ranney Index subjects remain unaffected.

Joining now or later

You may start by creating a free account and exploring the FREE indexes without subscribing. When ready, sign in and activate the US$19.99 annual Kenner membership through the website's PayPal checkout. If you decide not to purchase immediately or leave checkout before completing payment, the account remains available, and you can return to activate membership later.

Member access and account use

Memberships are intended for the individual account holder unless Ranney Index later offers a separate dealer, store, business, team or institutional plan. Account credentials should not be shared to provide paid access to people who have not purchased or otherwise been granted that access.

Payments and platform requirements

Ranney Index uses PayPal for direct web membership payments. PayPal may make additional payment methods available within its checkout flow. If Ranney Index is later offered through an app marketplace that requires its own purchase system, any platform-specific billing, renewal, cancellation or refund terms will be disclosed before purchase.

Agreement to membership terms

Creating an account, purchasing a membership or activating paid access is subject to the Ranney Index Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Where Ranney Index controls the purchase or account flow, users are asked to acknowledge the applicable terms before paid access is activated. Purchases made through an app store or third-party platform may also be subject to that provider’s required terms.

Questions about membership

Questions about pricing, renewals, multiple Indexes or account access may be submitted through the Ranney Index contact tools. The Terms of Service govern the legal terms of membership where this page and the Terms differ.
