Digital Content Terms and Conditions
The Materials are offered by Informa Markets (referred to as “we/our/us”), which is a trading division of the Informa Group. The parent company of the Informa Group is Informa PLC. A full list of entities within the Informa Group is available on request.
This page (together with any documents referred to on it) sets out the terms (the “Terms”) on which any Materials (as defined in clause 1) are made available to you on this website (the “Site”). As a user of the Site (referred to as “you/your”), please read these Terms carefully before you start to use the Site or obtain any Materials. By using the Site and/or ordering any Materials, you signify that you accept these Terms and that you agree to abide by them. If you do not accept these Terms and do not agree to abide by them, please refrain from using the Site immediately and do not place an order to access the Materials.
We may revise these Terms at any time, without notice, by amending this page (and any documents referred to on it). You are expected to check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we may make, as they are binding on you as soon as we make them. Some of the provisions contained in these Terms may also be superseded by provisions or notices published elsewhere on the Site.
1. Site structure and the Materials
The materials consist of:
- “Free Materials”: all content on the Site that is made available by us for free. This may include specific content made available: (i) to an individual through a periodic offer; or (ii) to the general public as free access content; and
- “Paid Materials”: all content on the Site that can be purchased by you from us.
The Free Materials and Paid Materials together comprise the “Materials”. Materials may include one-off content or content delivered periodically during a set period of time.
2. Order and acceptance
By placing an order through the Site, you warrant that:
- you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
- you are at least 18 years old.
Your order constitutes an offer to us to receive the Free Materials and/or buy the Paid Materials on these Terms. An order is not accepted by us until you receive an email from us acknowledging that we have accepted your order or containing the ordered Materials (or a link to the ordered Materials).
If you order a periodic offering of Materials, then your offer to receive the full periodic offering is accepted when you receive an email from us acknowledging that we have accepted your order or containing the first instalment of the periodic offering Materials.
3. Accessing the Materials
You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Materials, including acquisition of software, hardware, and any necessary Internet connection and telecommunications equipment. If there is any technical failure in the delivery of any Materials to you that is caused by us, then you agree that the only remedy available to you is for us to redeliver the Materials to you.

We reserve the right to monitor your use of the Materials.
The Site and any Materials must not be scraped, data mined, automatically searched, parsed or sorted, or used for machine learning (or other forms of learning related to the field commonly referred to as ‘artificial intelligence’).

7. Risk and Title
All Materials will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
Ownership of the Materials delivered to you will only pass to you when we deliver such Materials and, in the case of Paid Materials, receive full payment of all sums due, but nothing in this clause constitutes an assignment or grant of any intellectual property rights in the Materials.
8. Price and Payment
The price of any Paid Materials will be as quoted on the Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
Prices are liable to change from time to time, but changes will not affect orders that have already been accepted.

We are under no obligation to provide the Paid Materials to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even if we have sent you an acceptance.
