3. Exclusions From License Grant.
Neither the names of Licensor, nor the names of any contributors to the ISDA CDS Standard Model, nor any of their trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or promote products derived from the ISDA CDS Standard Model without express prior permission of the Licensor. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing in this License grants any license to Licensor's trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, You agree not to use the designation "ISDA", or any confusingly similar designation:
(i) to identify any software, algorithm or method other than the ISDA CDS Standard Model approved by Licensor, or any Derivative Works, unless additions or modifications to the ISDA CDS Standard Model are clearly and conspicuously identified as such;
(ii) to advertise or promote any computer software or any other product or service as based on or compliant with ISDA CDS Standard Model, unless You specify the version of ISDA CDS Standard Model; or
(iii) as a trademark or part of a trademark for any software or any other product, or as a service mark or part of a service mark for any service.
6. Indemnity for Use of ISDA CDS Standard Model in Derivative Works.
You hereby agree to indemnify Licensor for any liability incurred by the Licensor as a result of the distribution, purchase, sale or use of Your Derivative Work.

No one other than Licensor has the right to modify the terms applicable to the ISDA CDS Standard Model under this License.
8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
THE ISDA CDS STANDARD MODEL IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE ISDA CDS STANDARD MODEL IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE ISDA CDS STANDARD MODEL IS WITH YOU.

(b) If, at any time, You expressly assented to this License, that assent indicates your clear and irrevocable acceptance of this License and all of its terms and conditions. If You distribute or communicate copies of the ISDA CDS Standard Model or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to obtain the express assent of recipients to the terms of this License. This License conditions your rights to undertake the activities listed in Section 2, including your right to create Derivative Works based upon the ISDA CDS Standard Model, and doing so without honoring these terms and conditions is prohibited by copyright law and international treaty.

10. Termination for Patent Action.

This termination provision shall not apply for an action alleging patent infringement by combinations of the ISDA CDS Standard Model or a Derivative Work with other software or hardware.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL THE LICENSOR, ANY OF ITS MEMBERS, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF DOCUMENTS OR SOFTWARE CONTAINING ANY OF THE ISDA CDS STANDARD MODEL, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THAT EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
