A. From 1st April 2008, any organisation that wants to access FT content through third party channels will need to subscribe to an FT content licence. The only exception to this is academic institutions and public libraries which can continue to access embargoed FT content (delayed by 24 hours) without the need for a direct licence.

A. Individuals within a business can continue to subscribe to FT.com. These content licences are designed for organisations to buy on behalf of ten or more users of FT.com, and also for users who want to access FT content on third party channels.

A. We would like to establish direct relationships with our corporate customers. The benefits to you are that you will pay once for FT content and then have rights to access it on many platforms. The benefits for us are that we develop a closer understanding of your requirements as we service your business with a dedicated and specialist team. We also believe that the current practice of bundling many sources of content with the cost of distribution does not reflect the fair value of the content we create.

A. Historically and up until 31 March, FT digital content has formed part of a bundle of many news sources available via third party aggregation services with FT receiving a royalty payment from these third party aggregators.

We now wish to ensure that the value of FT content is transparent and independent of the technology platform that it is accessed from.

From 1 April, our new licensing model will take effect. We are inviting corporate customers to enter into a direct contract with the FT to receive our journalism across a variety of technology platforms.

As of 1 April, the FT will no longer receive royalty payments for FT digital content from news aggregation providers, nor will any news aggregator be licensed or permitted to charge for access to FT digital content. The only exceptions to this are for academic customers and public libraries and in the case of transitional arrangements for customers that qualify for a "bridge licence".

A. We are currently in discussions with many third parties about our new business model. We would like to continue to work with a wide variety of third parties on the basis that we get paid for the value of our content, and they get paid for the value of the excellent services that they bring.

A. If you have an existing licence with us and had the embargo lifted on any of the 4 channels listed, you will continue to receive FT content. Please contact us for details.

A. An FT content licence will cost £199 per seat, with a volume discount for orders over 20 seats. For further details please refer to price information.

A. In these instances we will work with you on an agreement based on the number of your Core Users that would require FT content. See price information.

A. We will supply FT content in either print or digital format as the customer wishes. We would also be delighted to supply a customer with both, but it will not be a requirement.

A. You may qualify for the Bridge offer.

Find out more with our Bridge guide.

A. Newspaper Licensing Agency (NLA ) licencees have the right to copy content from the UK print editions of the Financial Times newspaper in it's original form - this excludes the right to copy and distribute FT digital content from FT.com. An NLA Digital Licence gives clients the right to access PDFs of newspaper articles from the FT UK editions delivered against a pre-defined selection criteria via the Press Clipping Agency (PCA), using the NLA eClips database. Corporates do not need a wider FT Content Licence if this is their only requirement. However, a corporate will require a FT Content Licence (and a direct relationship with the FT) if they need access to any PDFs of International editions of the FT newspaper, FT.com or any content delivered by a third party aggregator (such as Factiva, Lexis Nexis, OneSource etc) or technical integrator providing searchable access to all FT content.
