2. Intellectual Property
You shall obtain no rights in any Moody’s Intellectual Property. “Intellectual Property” shall mean all forms of intellectual property rights and protections held by Moody’s and may include without limitation all right, title and interest arising under U.S. common and statutory law, and laws of other countries in and to all (a) patents and all filed, pending or potential applications for patents, including any reissue, reexamination, division, continuation or continuation-in-part applications throughout the world now or hereafter filed; (b) trade secret rights and equivalent rights; (c) copyrights, other literary property or authors rights, whether or not protected by copyright or as a mask work; and (d) proprietary indicia, trademarks, trade names, symbols, domain names, URL’s, logos and/or brand names.

You are strictly prohibited from using any Moody’s Data, corporate names, designation logo, trade name, trademark, service name or service mark in any marketing materials, offering circular, prospectus or any securities offering document, without the prior written consent of Moody’s.
4. Required Affiliate Disclosures
Certain Moody’s Data may consist of quantitative estimates of default, or may consist of models and data used by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“MIS”) in the credit ratings process or may be designed to indicate what an MIS rating would be based on certain assumptions, financial and portfolio data and/or other variable inputs. However, none of the Moody’s Data represent or constitute an actual MIS rating, rating action or opinion unless specifically designated as such by MIS, whether or not any of the assumptions or other data are correct, or the ultimate events related thereto differ materially from the factors used as inputs to such products. Nothing will compel MIS to assign, as a result of any Moody’s Data provided hereunder, a particular rating or any revision thereof to any securities, debt or other instruments. You understand that MIS may at any time refuse to issue any rating, or, if already issued, revise or withdraw such rating. You further agree not to represent, imply or otherwise suggest that any Moody’ Data constitutes or affects an MIS rating, rating action, or opinion.
5. DISCLAIMERS
Moody’s EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS, RESULTS, AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF Moody’s HAS BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH PURPOSE, OR ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE. Moody’s SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE OF THE MOODY’S DATA. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, Moody’s does not warrant or guarantee that the moody’s data will accurately predict credit risk or prevent bad decisions regarding extensions of credit, investments, loans, or other risk-related activities, nor shall Moody’s be responsible for the consequences of any such decisions. Moody’s makes no representation or warranty with respect to network downtime, interference, bandwidth, interruption, outage, or quality or speed of access or transmission of data. NO AGENT OF Moody’s IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER OR EXCEED THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS OF MOODY’S AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
6. Indemnification
You shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Moody’s, its affiliates, successors and assigns, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, legal representatives, and agents (the “Moody’s Indemnified Parties”), from and against any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and professionals' fees and court costs) arising out of any third party claims based on your use of the Moody’s Data, or the creation, use or dissemination of Moody’s Data. Moody’s shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any claim subject to this paragraph through counsel of its own choosing, and you shall provide Moody’s with reasonable cooperation and assistance in such defense. This paragraph is Moody’s exclusive liability and your exclusive remedy for claims of as set forth above based upon or related to any Moody’s Data.
7. GENERAL LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL MOODY’S, ITS LICENSORS OR ANY MOODY’S affiliate, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS OF THE FOREGOING BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR (A) ANY direct, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND; OR (B) ANY COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT OR DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS OF PRESENT OR PROSPECTIVE PROFITS, EXPENDITURES, INVESTMENTS OR COMMITMENTS, WHETHER MADE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT, DEVELOPMENT OR MAINTENANCE OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR GOODWILL, FOR LOSS OF DATA, COST OF SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE, COST OF CAPITAL, OR FOR THE CLAIMS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

You warrant that you are not, nor are you owned or controlled by, directly or indirectly, a person or entity that is (i) on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the U.K. Consolidated Financial Sanctions List maintained by Her Majesty’s Treasury; or (ii) subject to country sanctions imposed by the U.S. Government for any reason, including but not limited to being organized or headquartered in or a governmental entity of a country subject to such sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan, and Crimea); or (iii) organized or headquartered in any other country to which the export or re-export of U.S.-origin goods or technologies are generally embargoed (currently North Korea). Additionally, you warrant that you do not intend to and will not supply or use Moody's Data to or for the benefit of any of the foregoing (hereinafter “Prohibited Entities”). You agree that you will notify Moody's if these circumstances change. For purposes of this provision, “owned” and “own” mean an interest of fifty (50) percent or more and “control” means the right or ability to dictate the decisions, actions, and/or policies of an entity or its management. If you breach this Section, or if Moody’s determines that it is prohibited under any applicable law or regulation from providing the Moody’s Data, Moody’s may cease providing the Moody’s Data at any time.
10. Licensed Information
You agree that the Moody’s Data may contain third party materials provided by licensors.
