- Print single copies of articles on paper for your personal use
- Share links to articles by using the article tools we make available at the foot of each article

How may I republish or redistribute your content?

Except as set out above, you may not copy any of our content from www.insuranceinsider.com, www.trading-risk.com, www.insidefac.com and www.insiderquarterly.com or any third party source of our content such as news aggregators and you may not republish or redistribute full text articles, for example by pasting them into emails or republishing them in any media, including websites, newsletters or intranets.

For the purposes of this agreement "material" refers to any information published on www.insuranceinsider.com, www.trading-risk.com, www.insidefac.com, www.insiderquarterly.com and any other websites controlled by Insider Publishing Ltd, Trading Risk Ltd, Informed Publishing Ltd and Micro Risk Ltd including, but not limited to, all text, images and graphics of any nature whatsoever, regardless of whether the copyright or any other intellectual property rights rest with Insider Publishing Ltd, Informed Publishing Ltd, or a third party.

You may download and print extracts from the material and make copies of these for your personal use only. You are not allowed to download or print the material, or extracts from it, in a systematic or regular manner so as to create a database in an electronic or paper form comprising all or part of the material published. You must not reproduce, transmit or re-circulate any material obtained from the site in its original form or any other form to any third party without prior written consent from Insider Publishing Ltd.

What am I not permitted to do with content?

You cannot do anything other than make use of the content as set out above, unless you buy the appropriate licence, see below for contact details. By way of example only, this means that you cannot:
- If you are a registered user or subscriber, share your user name and password with anyone else. A password is for one person's use. Sharing a password means a copy of our content may subsequently be made by someone who is not authorised to do so. Password sharing is a breach of our terms and conditions and is likely to result in an infringement of copyright. We monitor usage to detect password sharing
- Copy, publish, edit, forward or redistribute full text articles, pdfs, graphics, tables or images, either via e-mail that you receive from us or from content online
- Create derivative works from our content, unless you are creating summaries as described above
- Photocopy or scan copies of individual articles or of hard copies

What will you do about possible past misuse if my organisation wants to buy a licence to cover future use?

If you voluntarily disclose misuse that no longer occurs and you engage meaningfully with us to formalise that usage within a reasonable timescale by acquiring the appropriate licence, then our sole objective will be to build a long-term commercial relationship. This will be at our normal corporate subscriptionrates and we will not seek compensation from you for past misuse. We will take a less lenient approach with individuals and organisations that we discover infringing our copyright, particularly if those organisations refuse to stop the infringing activity and/or refuse to engage with us.
