Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I am a subscriber to this publication. However, I have a team of employees who need to have this information. How can I legally share this issue without violating your copyright?
A. You can share your publication in these ways: Put a routing slip on your paper publication — or on the one copy you are allowed to print out from your email-delivered newsletter — and pass it around to everyone on the list. Place your newsletter in a binder that your staff can access to read the issues. Order more subscriptions at reduced multiple-subscriber rates.

Q. But I have 75 people who need to know what's in the publication. Won't getting more subscriptions be very expensive?
A. We offer very attractive pricing for large numbers of readers through a group subscription agreement.

Q. Tell me more about group subscriptions.
A. The chief benefit is that many staffers can have access to the editorial and statistical content of IMF newsletters at greatly reduced prices. These low prices make it easy for individual departments to stay within budget. Subscription rates are computed on a sliding scale, with lower prices for more subscribers.

Q. What if my people need access to more than one publication from Inside Mortgage Finance?
A. Based on expected readership, IMF can offer one price for access to all publications, or varying prices for each newsletter. Some agreements are for access to only one publication. Some companies start with a license for one publication and add more later. These decisions are based on discussions with the company about its needs. (Note: we also offer group pricing for data subscriptions.)

Q. My team needs to access your online archives. How can I legally let them do that on my subscription?
A. Anyone with a paid subscription has the right to access our archives through use of a password for that individual. That includes group subscribers. When you apply for a password, you agree to terms that stipulate single-person access.

Q. Can't I just let my team share my password to access the archives?
A. Not legally. Access to archives is a free benefit for the named subscriber, as stated in the agreement. Abuse of the password will necessitate our denying you any online access.

Q. If I have the newsletter delivered by email, can I forward it to others?
A. Not legally. That would violate our copyright and the agreement you signed when you arranged for email delivery.

Q. Can't I just print out several copies of an electronically-delivered newsletter?
A. You are certainly authorized to print out one copy for your use. You may physically route that paper copy to any number of your staff. You cannot, however, print out several copies for their use, nor can you photocopy it.

Q. Who do I contact to discuss group subscriptions?
A. Call our customer service lead, Gwen Jones, at (301) 951-1240, ext. 324.
