4.1 Charges
Wherever possible, we shall aim to make information available free of charge. The exceptions are:
- when a cover charge is indicated for a printed document
- when substantial resources are required to respond to a request
AFBI does not charge for documents downloaded from its website. However, the user will have to meet any charges by their internet service provider and personal printing costs. For those without Internet access, a single printout from the website will be available by post from the Business Support Unit. Multiple printouts or archived copies of documents which are no longer available on the website, may warrant a charge to cover the cost of photocopying and postage. We will let you know this at the time of your request. Any charge will be payable in advance. Information that either carries a charge or for which a fee will be levied has been clearly identified under each class.
4.2 Copyright issues
The supply of documents under Freedom of Information does not give the person or organisation who receives them an automatic right to re-use the documents in a way that would infringe copyright, for example, by making multiple copies, publishing and issuing copies to the public.
Brief extracts of any of the material included in this Publication Scheme may be reproduced under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (sections 29 and 30) for the purposes of research for non-commercial purposes, private study, criticism, review and news reporting.
