These Terms of Use were last updated on March 1, 2022.
These Terms of Use apply to CUSIP Global Services (managed on behalf of the American Bankers Association by FactSet Research Systems Inc.), which you have a contract with or which provide services to you.
By accessing and using any of CGS's websites including any connected mobile application or version thereof (each a “Site”), you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use and you represent that you have the legal capacity to be bound by these Terms of Use. The terms “you” and “User” refer to anyone who accesses a Site.
These Terms of Use contain terms, conditions, covenants and provisions upon which you may access and use a Site and all content, including text, ratings, opinions, photographs, video, audio, graphics, tools, analytics, functionality, products and information (collectively, the “Content”) displayed and/or otherwise contained on a Site. If at any time you do not agree with the Terms of Use, you will stop accessing and/or using the Site(s) and the Content. Each Site and the Content contained therein is the exclusive property of CGS or its suppliers.
CGS, pursuant to an agreement with the ABA, has the right to license all proprietary rights to the CUSIP database (“CUSIP Database”), which contains CUSIP standard identifiers, CUSIP standard descriptions, CGS ISINs, CGS CINS and other information about financial instruments (“Data”). Notwithstanding anything in the Terms of Use to the contrary, your rights to use certain material available on or through each Site may be subject to separate written license agreement(s) with CGS or FactSet (“Other Agreements”). In the event you have an Other Agreement to access all or any portion of a Site, including any separately entitled sections of a Site, then the Other Agreement, rather than these Terms of Use, will govern your use of such Site. In the event of a conflict between your Other Agreement and these Terms of Use, the terms and conditions in the Other Agreement shall prevail.
Any attempt by you to modify these Terms of Use is expressly rejected by CGS and shall have no force or effect regarding your use of a Site. CGS may change these Terms of Use at any time without notice. Changes will be posted on each Site under “Terms of Use”. Your access and use of a Site after any changes have been posted will constitute your agreement to the modified Terms of Use and any changes. Therefore, you should read these Terms of Use from time to time to be aware of any such changes.
CGS grants you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and use the Site(s) and the Content conditioned upon your compliance with these Terms of Use. The Site(s) and the Content contained therein may be used solely for viewing, ad hoc noncommercial use.
You may not license, sublicense, transfer, sell, resell, publish, reproduce and/or otherwise redistribute a Site, including the Content or any component thereof in any manner (including, but not limited to, via or as part of any Internet site). You may not a) use the Content or any portion of the Site as part of any intranet or other internal network; b) create archival or derivative works based on the Content or any portion thereof; or c) modify, reverse-engineer, disassemble, decompile or store any Content or any portion of the Site. You may not use a Site or any Content contained therein, in whole or in part in any manner that either competes or is intended to compete with CGS or its affiliates, including without limitation, any distribution of any Content or a derivative work based thereon. You may not use a Site for any illegal purpose or in any manner inconsistent with these Terms of Use. CGS may discontinue or change a Site and any the Content contained therein, or their availability to you, at any time without notice. CGS is not under any obligation to update any Content following publication on a Site. The terms of these Terms of Use will survive any such discontinuation.
All proprietary rights (including, but not limited to, copyrights, trade secrets, database rights, trademark rights, rights to trade names, service marks and other product and service names and logos) contained within a Site and any and all Content, including, but not limited to, all information, data, ratings and ratings symbology, software, products and documentation contained or included therein, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of CGS and its suppliers. Each Site and any and all Content contained herein is protected by copyright in addition to other intellectual property laws. Any of the trademarks, service marks or logos (collectively, the “Marks”) displayed on a Site may be registered or unregistered marks of CGS or others. Nothing contained on a Site shall be construed as granting any license or right to use any of the Marks displayed on the Site absent the express written permission of CGS or a third party owner of such Marks. You agree to honor all reasonable requests by CGS or its suppliers to protect and preserve their respective proprietary interests in each Site and any and all Content contained therein. Each Site and the Content are compiled, prepared, revised, selected and arranged by CGS and its suppliers through the application of methods and standards of judgment developed and applied through the expenditure of substantial time, effort and money, and each Site and any and all Content constitute valuable intellectual property of CGS and its suppliers. Copying of, use of, access to or distribution of a Site or any Content contained therein in breach of these Terms of Use may cause CGS and/or its suppliers irreparable injury that cannot be adequately compensated for by means of monetary damages. Any breach hereof by you may be enforced by CGS or its suppliers by means of equitable relief (including, but not limited to, injunctive relief) in addition to any other available rights and remedies. Any actual or attempted illegal or unauthorized uses of a Site, the Marks or any Content are strictly prohibited and may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution.
Export Restrictions. CGS does not in any manner warrant or represent that the materials on a Site, including any Content contained therein, are appropriate or available for use in any particular location. CUSIP® is a registered trademark of the American Bankers Association. CUSIP Global Services is managed on behalf of the American Bankers Association by FactSet. If you choose to access a Site including any Content therein, you do so on your own initiative and you are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures of the American Bankers Association (“CUSIP”). You agree and acknowledge that the CUSIP database and the information contained therein is and shall remain valuable intellectual property owned by, or licensed to, CGS and the ABA, and that no proprietary rights are being transferred to you in such materials or in any of the information contained therein. You agree that misappropriation or misuse of such materials will cause serious damage to CGS and ABA and that in such event money damages may not constitute sufficient compensation to CGS and ABA; consequently, you agree that in the event of any misappropriation or misuse, CGS and ABA shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief in addition to any other legal or financial remedies to which CGS and ABA may be entitled. You agree that you shall not publish or distribute in any medium the CUSIP database or any information contained therein or summaries or subsets thereof to any person or entity. Your only use of the CUSIP numbers and descriptions shall be in connection with the internal trading and settlement of security transactions. You further agree that the use of CUSIP numbers and descriptions is not intended to create or maintain, and does not serve the purpose of the creation or maintenance of, a master file or database of CUSIP descriptions or numbers for yourself or any third-party recipient of such materials and is not intended to create and does not serve in any way as a substitute for any products and services distributed by CGS. All use by you of the CUSIP database and the information contained therein is expressly subject to the disclaimers and limitations set forth herein. In the event you have a direct agreement with CGS, such agreement shall control your use of the CUSIP database and/or any information contained therein.
NOTE: For your protection, CGS reserves the right to view, monitor, and record activity on the Site in accordance with CGS's Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. CGS hereby reserves the right to discontinue access to a Site either with or without notice if CGS has a reasonable basis to believe that a User is accessing or using any Content in violation of these Terms of Use, in addition to any other available rights and remedies.
You expressly agree not to:
THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER A SECURITY OR OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR A CUSIP IDENTIFIER, AND WHETHER THE REQUESTER HAS SUPPLIED THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION, SHALL BE MADE BY CGS IN ITS DISCRETION AND ANY SUCH DETERMINATION SHALL BE FINAL. CGS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH A DETERMINATION THAT A SECURITY OR OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A CUSIP IDENTIFIER. CUSIP NUMBERS AND STANDARD DESCRIPTIONS ARE THE VALUABLE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THE ABA. THE ASSIGNMENT OF A CUSIP NUMBER TO A PARTICULAR SECURITY BY CGS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS AN ENDORSEMENT OF SUCH SECURITY, A RECOMMENDATION TO PURCHASE, SELL OR HOLD SUCH SECURITY OR AN OPINION AS THE LEGAL VALIDITY OF SUCH SECURITY. BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF HUMAN OR MECHANICAL ERROR BY ISSUERS, CGS, THIRD PARTY SOURCES AND OTHERS, NEITHER CGS NOR THE ABA GUARANTEES THE ACCURACY, ADEQUATENESS OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY CUSIP DATA, AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS OR FOR THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF ANY CUSIP DATA.
CGS, ABA, AND FACTSET DO NOT EXCLUDE OR LIMIT IN ANY WAY OUR LIABILITY TO YOU WHERE IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO DO SO. THIS INCLUDES LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE OR THE NEGLIGENCE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS AND FOR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CGS, ABA, OR FACTSET AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE AS TO A SITE OR ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING INFORMATION, DATA, SOFTWARE OR PRODUCTS CONTAINED THEREIN, OR THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY THEIR USE OR AS TO THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF.
A REFERENCE TO A PARTICULAR INVESTMENT OR SECURITY, A CREDIT RATING OR ANY OBSERVATION CONCERNING AN INVESTMENT OR SECURITY PROVIDED ON A SITE IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION TO BUY, SELL OR HOLD SUCH INVESTMENT OR SECURITY OR MAKE ANY OTHER INVESTMENT DECISIONS AND DOES NOT ADDRESS THE SUITABILITY OF ANY INVESTMENT OR SECURITY. CONTENT SHOULD NOT BE RELIED ON AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SKILL, JUDGMENT AND YOUR EXPERIENCE OR THE EXPERIENCE OF YOUR ADVISORS AND/OR CLIENTS IN MAKING INVESTMENT AND OTHER BUSINESS DECISIONS. CGS, ABA, OR FACTSET DO NOT ACT NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE ACTING AS A FIDUCIARY IN PROVIDING A SITE OR ANY CONTENT.
NEITHER CGS, ABA, FACTSET NOR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS GUARANTEE THE ADEQUACY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS OR COMPLETENESS OF A SITE, ANY CONTENT OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF OR ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ORAL OR WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS (INCLUDING ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS) OR OUTPUT WITH RESPECT THERETO OR THAT A SITE OR ANY CONTENT WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES, WORMS OR “TROJAN HORSES”. NEITHER CGS, ABA, FACTSET, NOR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ANY DAMAGES OR LIABILITY FOR ANY ERRORS, OMISSIONS OR DELAYS IN A SITE, INCLUDING CONTENT. EACH SITE, CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN AND ANY AND ALL COMPONENTS THEREOF, IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS AND YOUR USE OF A SITE AND ANY CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS OF USE, IN NO EVENT WHATSOEVER SHALL CGS, ABA, FACTSET OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, TRADING LOSSES OR LOST TIME OR GOOD WILL, EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. NEITHER CGS, ABA, FACTSET NOR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU BY THIRD PARTIES.
IN THE EVENT THAT LIABILITY IS NEVERTHELESS IMPOSED ON CGS, ABA, FACTSET OR ITS SUPPLIERS, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF CGS, ABA, FACTSET AND ITS SUPPLIERS IN CONNECTION WITH A SITE, ANY CONTENT AND/OR THESE TERMS OF USE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM(S) OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US$100). NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, ARISING FROM OR PERTAINING TO YOUR USE OF A SITE OR THE CONTENT MAY BE BROUGHT BY YOU MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS ACCRUED.
You are entirely liable for activities conducted by you or anyone else in connection with your browsing and access to and use of a Site. If you are dissatisfied with a Site or with these Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using such Site.
You may, through hypertext or other computer links, gain access to web sites operated by persons other than CGS. Such hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and are the exclusive responsibility of the owners of each such web site. You agree that CGS is not responsible for the content or operation of such web sites, and that CGS shall have no liability to you or any other person or entity for the use of third party web sites. Except as described below, a hyperlink from a Site to another web site does not imply or mean that CGS endorses the content on such web site or the operator or operations of such web site. You are solely responsible for determining the extent to which you may use any content at any other web sites to which you link from a Site.
As you browse through a Site you may access other web sites that are subject to different terms of use. When you use those other web sites, you may be legally bound by the specific terms of use posted on such web sites. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and other terms of use of such web sites, the terms of use of such web sites will govern with respect to your use of such web sites.
The User grants to CGS a perpetual, nonexclusive, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable (in whole or in part) worldwide right and license in any and all media, now known or later developed, to use, publish, reproduce, display, modify, transmit digitally, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit all material posted to or received through a Site by, from or on behalf of the User or anyone else using the User's account (other than third party material transmitted through private electronic mail) (“User Content”) (including, without limitation, any names, voices, likenesses, performances and actions contained therein) for any purpose whatsoever (including, without limitation, advertising, commercial, promotional and publicity purposes) in CGS's discretion without notice, approval, attribution or consideration to you or to any other person or entity. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant the foregoing license, that neither the permission nor consent of any other person or entity is required to enable CGS to legally use the User Content in accordance with this license; that all User Content provided to a Site by you or anyone else using your account complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; and that CGS's use of the User Content in accordance with this license will not violate or infringe upon the rights of any person or entity.
Users entering material into a Site are responsible for the content of that material. CGS does not have any responsibility for User Content, including the content of any messages or information posted by Users or others, or for the content of information accessible via direct or indirect hyperlinks from a Site. However, CGS retains the right, to review, edit or delete User Content that CGS deems to be illegal, offensive or otherwise inappropriate.
You may not input or distribute any material through the Site that is promotional in nature, including solicitations for funds or business, without the prior written authorization of CGS.
Please see the CGS Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice for information on CGS's data collection and use practices with respect to a Site.
As part of access to portions of a Site, you may be required to provide certain information, such as, your name and email address. In addition, you may be required to select a username and password. You represent and warrant that any information you provide to CGS in connection with a Site shall be accurate and complete. You further agree to keep any passwords/user IDs in connection with a Site in strict confidence and promptly advise CGS of any actual or threatened unauthorized disclosure or misuse of a Site or any passwords/user IDs with respect to a Site that come to your attention. You shall cooperate with CGS in enforcing the restrictions and limitations set forth herein.
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to each Site and supersedes any and all other agreements, oral or in writing, with respect to such Site. The failure of CGS to insist upon strict compliance with any term of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver with regard to any subsequent failure to comply with such term or provision. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend CGS, ABA, FACTSET and its suppliers from and against any and all costs, claims, damages or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of any breach by you of Section 3 (Anti-hacking Provisions). These Terms of Use are personal to you, and you may not assign your rights or obligations to anyone. If any term or condition hereof is found by a court, administrative agency or jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant term shall be deemed deleted and the remaining terms and conditions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. These Terms of Use, your rights and obligations, and all actions contemplated by these Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America and New York State. The parties agree that the State and Federal courts of New York shall be the exclusive forums for any dispute arising out of these Terms of Use and the parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. 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 plaintiffs, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum.
