How do public business information services deal with enquiries received from intermediaries on behalf of their clients? Such intermediaries might be business advisers contracted to work on various public sector programmes, independent consultants, or other private intermediaries (e.g. banks, accountants etc).

Are information services happy to provide material to the intermediary or do they insist on obtaining the end-user's details so that material can be sent to the ultimate client?

I know that contracts between information services and information providers will often stipulate that data must be sent to end-user only, but I'm more interested in policies and protocols which might have been developed by listees, and the rationale behind these.

Thanks in advance.
