SRDDI’s Proprietary Rights
You acknowledge and agree that the Blog and Blog Content and any necessary software used in connection with the Blog and Blog Content (“Software”) contain valuable proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable Intellectual Property Rights and other laws, and is (and shall remain) the property of SRDDI or its third party content providers, independent contractors, affiliates, or successors and assigns as the case may be. Any featured company logos or other third party logos are service/trademarks to their respective owners, and you agree not to display or use them in any manner whatsoever without the prior written permission of SRDDI or their respective owners.
Except as expressly authorized by SRDDI you agree not to, without limitation, reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell, alter, modify, rent, disseminate, distribute, edit, exploit, license, assign, lease, loan, process, provide any third party access to, re-distribute, publish, re-publish, transmit, re-transmit, transfer, repackage, or create derivative works based on the Blog, Blog Content or Software, in whole or in part.

Selection of Companies
The Companies whose names are set out in the ‘Company List’ referenced in this Blog are selected for inclusion in the SRDDI Website pursuant to a process described in detail in the Website. This process uses pre-established market capitalization and balance sheet metrics to mechanically (i.e. arithmetically) select Companies for inclusion from a larger population of companies. Selection of a Company, and hence inclusion in the Website of a portion of its data, is not to be taken to be a commentary on the investment merits, or lack of investment merits, of that Company. Similarly, because a company does not at a given point in time satisfy the Website’s selection criteria, this likewise is not to be taken to be a commentary on the investment merits, or lack of investment merits, of any company whose data is not in part embedded in the Website.
