In addition, the relevant self-regulatory authority for non-broadcast advertisements is the Advertising Standards Authority, see www.asa.org.uk .
Our terms and conditions set out the detail of what you can and cannot do with our content and all use of the Websites listed in those terms.
This copyright policy summarises how users are permitted to use our content and also explains the types of use that require the purchase of additional licences. Thank you for reading this policy, our ability to invest in high quality journalism depends on our users complying with it. We reserve the right to change our copyright policy from time to time by publishing an updated policy on the FT Websites, which shall become effective and replace any previous policy with effect from publication. This version of the copyright policy was published on 9 June 2023.
Copyright law gives the copyright owner the exclusive right to control the use of copyright protected works. All of the material published on our Websites and other digital/wireless platforms is protected by copyright law and should only be used as set out in the “How may I use FT Specialist Website content?” section below. Use that is made without our permission may therefore infringe our copyright which can result in personal and corporate liability. Where we state below that something is not allowed or permitted, then to do so is a breach of our terms and conditions, i.e. is a breach of contract, and may also violate copyright law.

You may not copy FT content from the Websites or any third party source of FT 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. Full text means the whole article.
We recognise that users of the Internet want to share information with others. We therefore permit limited republishing and redistribution of FT content as set out below provided that this does not create a Substitute for FT’s own products or services. We define a Substitute as a product or service that reduces the need for users or other third parties to pay for FT content directly, or which creates revenue from the FT’s content to the detriment of FT’s own ability to generate revenues from that content.

As specified above you may not republish or redistribute full text articles. You may however republish or redistribute ”Summaries” of FT articles if you comply with the conditions set out below. “Summaries” can be either an “extract” or an “abstract”. By “extract” we mean 30 words copied verbatim from an FT article which are inserted into a longer original work . By “abstract” we mean a 30 word non-verbatim summary of the news or facts reported in an FT article which does not form part of a longer work.
These are the conditions you must comply with in order to produce summaries:
Please note that these rights do not extend to content published by FT that we licence from third parties which you may not republish or redistribute.
