Moody’s shall not be liable for, and excused from, any failure to deliver or perform, or for any delay in delivery or performance, due to causes beyond its reasonable control, after exercising its best commercially reasonable efforts to remedy any such failure or delay, including without limitation any government actions, fire, work stoppages, civil disturbances, interruptions of power or communications to Moody’s or any facilities used by or for Moody’s, failure of internet, hosting, telecommunications, or other services to Moody’s or facilities used by or for Moody’s, natural disasters, acts of God, or acts of terrorism or war.

All rights to Use the Software are granted on condition that such rights are forfeited if you fail to comply with the terms of this EULA.

12. Governing Law. This EULA, including (without limitation) any disputes relating to the content on the Website, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise, are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law principles and without regard to the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

13. Dispute Resolution. THIS PARAGRAPH CONTAINS ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS THAT WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A COURT HEARING OR JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY. Moody’s is reachable via the contact information at the end of this EULA to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Website. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to you initiating a lawsuit or arbitration against Moody’s. Any matter or dispute relating in any way to your use of the Website or this EULA, which is not so resolved shall be submitted to binding confidential arbitration as provided below. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this ELUA, including any disputes relating to the Materials on Site, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise, shall be finally resolved by arbitration if not settled after pre-dispute consultation as described above, and subject to Moody’s right to seek injunctive relief in court as provided below. Any claim must be brought in the claimant’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”), except in the event that five (5) or more individuals seek to initiate (or do initiate) arbitration proceedings against Moody’s in a coordinated or related manner (e.g., coordination among plaintiffs or their counsel in regard to similar claims), then Moody’s may elect in its discretion to consolidate such arbitrations before a single arbitrator and otherwise in accordance with the arbitration provisions herein. The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator in English and in accordance with the International Rules of the American Arbitration Association, which shall administer the arbitration and act as appointing authority. The place of the arbitration shall be New York, New York. The decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and the expense of the arbitration (including without limitation the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party) shall be paid as the arbitrators determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you bring a claim subject to arbitration, Moody's, if so requested by you, will pay the cost of fees and deposits imposed upon you by the American Arbitration Association or other arbitrator to the extent that such cost exceeds the amount you would have had to pay as filing fees and initial court costs if you had filed suit in a court of competent jurisdiction. The decision of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in New York for the purposes of any judicial proceedings to obtain interim relief and in aid of the arbitration or judicial proceedings to confirm or enforce the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Moody's may seek preliminary injunctive relief from a court of law in the event of a breach by you of this EULA. You expressly waive your right to a trial by jury.

14. Severability. If any part of this EULA is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance of the EULA, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. If any part of this EULA is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the EULA shall continue in effect. Use of this Website is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions, including, without limitation, this paragraph.

15. Modification Of These Terms And Conditions. Moody’s reserves the right to change the terms, conditions, and notices under this EULA by posting any change on the Website.

16. General.

  • 16.1 You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Moody’s as a result of this EULA or your use of the Website.
  • 16.2 Moody’s performance under this EULA is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in this EULA is in derogation of Moody’s right to comply with law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of this Website or information provided to or gathered by Moody’s with respect to such use.
  • 16.3 Without regard to any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms will be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred.
  • 16.4 The failure of Moody’s to exercise or enforce any Term will not constitute a waiver of such Term. If any Term is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
  • 16.5 You can report abuse of these Terms to [email protected].

17. Sanctions Compliance. You warrant you are familiar with, have complied with, and will comply, in all respects, with the laws and regulations regarding the offering of unlawful or improper inducements (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as amended, and other anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws). You warrant that neither you, nor any entity on whose behalf you are acting, is (i) subject to asset freeze sanctions or any other economic or financial sanctions which prohibit the provision by Moody’s of the services under this EULA imposed by the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom (UK), European Union, United Nations, or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the parties to this Terms of Use (e.g., included on the U.S. Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or the Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets in the UK), nor are you or any entity on whose behalf you are acting owned or controlled by any such person(s) whether individually or in the aggregate; (ii) subject to comprehensive geographic 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 or territory subject to such sanctions (currently Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions in Ukraine); or (iii) located in Russia. Additionally, you, or the entity on whose behalf you are acting, warrant that you or such entity do not intend to and will not knowingly supply or use the Website to or for the benefit of any of the foregoing. You agree to notify Moody’s if these circumstances change. For purposes of this provision, ”owned” and ”own” means an ownership of an equity interest of 50 percent or greater, whether held directly or indirectly, and ”control” and ”controlled” means the right or ability, whether directly or indirectly, to dictate the decisions, actions, and/or policies of an entity or its management. If you breach this Section, or Moody’s determines that it is prohibited by any applicable law or regulation from providing access to the site, or Moody’s determines that it will cease providing access to the site in any country or territory, in addition to any other rights or remedies Moody’s may have, Moody’s may immediately suspend or terminate your access to the Website and any affected subscriptions.

18. Claims of Copyright Infringement. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Website infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Moody’s a notice requesting that Moody’s remove the material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send Moody’s a counter-notice. Notices and counter- notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices should be sent by mail to: Legal Department (DMCA Notices), 405 Howard Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105; by email to [email protected]; or by fax to +1-415-874-6809. You may contact Moody’s DMCA Agent by phone at +1-415-874-6000. Moody’s suggests that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice.
