The legal obligations of disclosure and publication by the third party service provider remain unaffected. These confidentiality obligations are valid for an indefinite period of time.The Rating methodology is described in the information made available for download on SMAT or the third party service provider. Ratings are estimates whose occurrence or non-occurrence cannot be guaranteed. The preparation of Rating is based on a systematic assessment of relevant data and information, including on solvency, and a thorough quantitative and qualitative analysis, excluding due diligence that cannot be assessed. The Ratings are produced on the basis of data obtained from various sources, including publicly available sources, some of which are obtained directly from Users, and are considered reliable and credible. Audited or reviewed financial reports are considered reliable and are not re-reviewed. The Rating process is conducted by SMAT or the third party service provider with the greatest possible care to the best of its knowledge and in good faith. SMAT or the third party service provider cannot guarantee its accuracy, correctness, timeliness or completeness.The content and results of the Rating produced by SMAT or the third party service provider simply represent a current opinion on the solvency of an Issuer or issue and are prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial needs or financial situation of a particular User. The assessments are used at the risk of the User and do not constitute an inducement, advice or recommendation. SMAT or the third party service provider accepts no liability for direct or indirect losses and damages resulting from the use of the valuations, in particular for errors of understanding, evaluation and judgement by SMAT or the third party service provider to the greatest extent authorized by any applicable law.In the context of the monitoring of the evaluations, SMAT or the third party service provider reserves the right to modify the evaluation at any time if it deems it necessary on the basis of the data and documents at its disposal. The third party service provider prepares the evaluations and any subsequent assessment on the basis of a contractual agreement entered into with SMAT. Absent of such agreement the third service provider is under no obligation to produce evaluations and evaluation updates. In addition, SMAT or the third party service provider may suspend and may suspend or revoke assessments and refrain from producing assessment updates if the conditions for a proper assessment are no longer met.Data ProtectionFurther information on data protection, updated regularly, are included in the Privacy Policy, which can be found at the following link: https://smat.io/#/privacy-policy .
