TERMS OF USE

Please read our Terms of Use (“Terms”) set out below very carefully as they confirm the basis upon which you may access the www.financederivative.com (“Website”) and read and make use of its content (“Finance Derivative Content”).

The Terms apply to your use of the Website and any of the Finance Derivative Content irrespective of the delivery platform or device you may use to access it.

Except where we state otherwise, all references in these Terms to “FD”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Finance Derivative (“FD”) whose registered office is situated at Kuipersstraat 48 1, 1074EM Amsterdam and, where applicable, to the FM.Publishing.

We cannot guarantee that you will always be able to access the Website and we will not be liable to you for any interruption or delay that you experience in accessing the Website, whatever the cause.

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.

If you wish to reproduce Finance Derivative Content, please contact us for an appropriate license.

However, you are welcome to read Finance Derivative Content for your personal use on any device that is compatible with the Website and you may store Finance Derivative Content on that device for your personal use. You may also print single hard copies of articles for your personal use.

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. An “abstract” means a non-verbatim summary of the news or facts reported in an article forming part of Finance Derivative Content which does not form part of a longer work.

Some of these links may generate revenue for us at the time they are clicked on or if someone subsequently uses the services of that Third Party. All links are provided because we believe they may be of interest to you and are made available on the Website for your convenience only.

We do not endorse or recommend any Third Party Sites or their contents and it is your decision whether or not you purchase or use any third party products or services made available on or via Third Party Sites and you should read paragraph 7 below very carefully.
