c) Subscriber shall upon request from DFBF amend or withdraw from circulation any product, literature, or promotional material which in the reasonable opinion of DFBF is in breach of the obligations imposed on it under this License or where such material is likely, in the reasonable opinion of DFBF, to bring DFBF into disrepute. DFBF shall not make such a request until it has obtained a written opinion from an independent third party confirming that the above condition is fulfilled and that ceasing the distribution of such material is a proportional measure.

d) Subscriber shall upon request from DFBF amend or withdraw from circulation any product, literature, or promotional material which in the reasonable opinion of DFBF is in breach of the obligations imposed on it under this License or where such material is likely, in the reasonable opinion of DFBF, to bring DFBF into disrepute.

“Internal use” means use of the data by the Subscriber to support their organization's internal operations, such as strategic planning, market analysis, and performance tracking in the ordinary course of Subscriber’s business; provided that such use does not permit further redistribution or access to the data by unauthorized persons outside of the Subscriber’s organization even on an infrequent or ad hoc basis.
Besides the above listed, this subscription does not grant rights to activities such as, but not limited to:
-
• Redistribution, recirculation or republishing any information outside the named organization.
-
• Commercial exploitation of the data package in any form or by any method.
-
• Using the DFBF data for operating exchanges, provision of trading and post-trade services for financial instruments, clearing-related activities, or for provision of other ancillary services.
-
• Publishing any DFBF data to a website.
For the avoidance of doubt, subscription to real time data does not provide an automatic approval to share the DFBF Benchmark Data with third party fund administration, custody or other outsourced ancillary service providers. Subscribers wishing to engage third parties for these purposes must notify the DFBF of the proposed service provider for prior approval. The DFBF will not unreasonably withhold such requests, provided that the service provider has the appropriate license.
Provision of commercial services to a third party requires a separate commercial utilisation license. Additional information regarding terms of use, descriptions of subscriptions and other offered licenses can be found at www.dfbf.dk.
