3. Ownership of Content

FD’s ability to publish the Website and to invest in professional financial journalism depends on our users complying with this Paragraph.

All Finance Derivative Content is owned by FD or its licensors who between them own all intellectual property rights (including copyright and database rights) in the Finance Derivative Content and any arrangement thereof. You may not reproduce Finance Derivative Content without FD’s written permission.

You may, however, republish or redistribute “Summaries” of articles from the Website so long as a prominent credit is given to FD on such Summaries indicating that FD is the original source of the material contained therein.

“Summaries” can be either an “extract” or an “abstract”. An “extract” means up to 200 words copied verbatim from an article which are inserted into a longer original work.
