Global Ultimates and Subsidiaries
There are two types of document in WHOW: Global Ultimates and
Subsidiaries.
These documents are identical except in two respects: the global
ultimate documents have two additional paragraphs - SU, which gives
a hierarchical list of all subsidiaries, and NU which indicates the
number of companies in the corporate family.
For each 'top-level' subsidiary a separate SU paragraph is
generated. Within each of these, companies are arranged
hierarchically with indentations to indicate the relationship of one
company to another.
The size of corporate families may vary enormously - from one or two
subsidiaries to more than a thousand. Always display NU (free of
charge) to find the number of SU paragraphs before printing SU
itself.
Every company listed in the SU paragraph of a Global Ultimate-type
document will have its own Subsidiary-type document, which will list
further information about that specific company.
No Branch documents
WHOW on DataStar contains details of only the main office of
companies. Branch offices of the same company are not available in
the database.
Alerts: Are not available in WHOW.
..RANK and ..MAP:
Are available in the CO, CC and CN paragraphs.

Access to and use of these Dun & Bradstreet databases is
subject to the following Terms of Agreement between You and the
company, partnership or entity, if any, with which You are
affiliated (collectively, "You" or "Your") and one of the Dun &
Bradstreet Information Services group of companies ("D&B"). By
accessing one of the D&B databases specified above, You agree
that You have the authority to enter into the Terms of
Agreement and that You have read the Terms of Agreement,
understand them and agree to be bound by them. These databases
and the information contained in them ("Information") may be
used by End Users and Information Professionals as defined
below. The terms in Part A apply to End Users, those in Part B
apply to Information Professionals, and those in Part C apply
to ALL Users.
A. Terms Which Apply to End Users
1. You are an "End User" if You are obtaining the Information (a)
for Your own use if You are an individual or (b) for the use of
someone within Your company or business if You are a business.
You are NOT an End User if You fit into any of the following
categories: a consultant accessing Information on behalf of a
client, a librarian accessing Information on behalf of a patron
not employed within the librarian's company or any other
Information Professional accessing Information to provide to a
client. (This list is NOT all- inclusive.) Many (but not all)
non-End Users may still access Information subject to the special
terms and conditions applicable to Information Professionals (see
Part B).
2. All Information furnished by D&B to DataStar and provided to You
is licensed for Your exclusive use. You many not provide the
Information in whole or in part to any third party. You agree
that You will not use the Information as a factor in establishing
an individual's eligibility for (a) credit or insurance to be
used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, or
(b) employment. You further agree that You will not use the
Information to engage in unfair or deceptive practices nor will
You republish, relicense or resell the Information. You agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless D&B from any claim or cause
of action against D&B and/or DataStar arising out of or relating
to use of the Information by individuals or entities which have
not been authorized by this Agreement to have access to and/or
use the Information.
3. You may make up to two (2) copies of the Information and keep
them for as long as You wish for Your own use. If you participate
in the DataStar Electronic Redistribution and Archive program,
You may make and internally distribute or archive for internal
use the number of copies permitted thereby. You must include the
following notice on each copy: Copyright (YEAR) Dun &
Bradstreet. (Use the year provided by DataStar.)
B. Terms Which Apply to Information Professionals
1. An "Information Professional" means a person, business or entity
who is accessing Information on behalf of (a) another company,
(b) another entity or (c) an individual not employed by the
Information Professional. Information Professionals can include
(but are not limited to) the following: information brokers,
librarians and libraries, consultants, advertising agencies,
public relations firms and research firms. For purposes of these
Terms of Agreement, the following are not considered Information
Professionals and may not access the Information at all:
telemarketers, distributors of mailing lists, marketing agents,
etc. (This list is not all-inclusive.) Licensees, agents, gateway
service operators and other commercial redistributors are also
not considered Information Professionals and therefore may not
access the Information under these Terms of Agreement. Such
entities should contact D&B's Online Services department directly
to discuss access arrangements. Information Professionals must
register with D&B and sign the D&B IP Agreement PRIOR to
accessing Information. If D&B determines that You are an
Information Professional and You have signed the Dun & Bradstreet
Information Professional Agreement ("D&B IP Agreement"), D&B
agrees to license the Information to You subject to the terms in
the D&B IP Agreement and the terms in Part B and C hereof.
2. Each time You access Information You will be acting on behalf of
a single customer who is an End User. You may access up to 500
D&B records per search and make and provide one copy of such
records to Your customer who has engaged You to conduct a
specific search, provided that You place D&B's copyright notice
on the material. (You may also keep one copy for back up
purposes.) You may not provide the same information to another
customer without replicating the search. Your customer may
subsequently use the Information according to the provisions of
Parts A and C hereof. Before You provide more than 500 records
per search to a customer, You agree that You will follow the
procedures specified in the D&B IP Agreement. D&B reserves the
right to terminate this Agreement immediately if You misrepresent
the usage of Information to D&B.
3. You will not provide Information to any person, company or entity
You know or have reason to believe will misrepresent, republish,
resell or relicense the Information or will use the Information
to engage in unfair or deceptive practices.
4. You may sort the Information, edit it, reformat it, record it
electronically and combine it with other information so long as
You are acting with respect to a specific order prepared for one
End User. You may not otherwise merge the Information with
non-D&B Information or alter the information to create the whole
or any portion of a mailing list, telemarketing list, other
marketing or research aid or other data compilation sold or
licensed by You to a third party.
5. When You make copies of the Information, You must include the
following notice: Copyright (YEAR) Dun & Bradstreet. (Use the
year provided by DataStar.)
C. Terms Which Apply to Both End Users and Information Professionals
1. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE AMOUNT YOU PAY TO DATASTAR FOR THE
INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM D&B WILL IN MOST INSTANCES REPRESENT A
SMALL PORTION OF YOUR OVERALL COST OF THE PROJECT, TASK OR
FUNCTION FOR WHICH THE INFORMATION WILL BE USED. YOU ALSO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TYPE OF INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED BY D&B TO
DATASTAR AND FURNISHED TO YOU WILL CONTAIN A DEGREE OF ERROR.
FINALLY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRICES WHICH D&B CHARGES
DATASTAR FOR INFORMATION ARE BASED, IN PART, UPON D&B'S
EXPECTATION THAT THE RISK OF ANY LOSS OR INJURY WHICH MIGHT BE
INCURRED BY YOU (AND/OR YOUR CUSTOMER IN THE CASE OF AN
INFORMATION PROFESSIONAL) IN RELIANCE UPON THE INFORMATION WILL
BE BORNE BY YOU (AND/OR YOUR CUSTOMER IN THE CASE OF AN
INFORMATION PROFESSIONAL). FOR THESE REASONS, YOU AGREE THAT YOU
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THAT ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY
D&B TO DATASTAR AND FURNISHED TO YOU IS SUFFICIENTLY ACCURATE FOR
YOUR PURPOSES. NEITHER D&B NOR DATASTAR MAKES ANY
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE
INFORMATION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ITS CORRECTNESS,
COMPLETENESS, CURRENTNESS, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR WITH RESPECT TO THE MEDIA ON WHICH THE
INFORMATION IS PROVIDED AND NEITHER D&B NOR DATASTAR SHALL BE
LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY ARISING OUT OF OR CAUSED, IN WHOLE
OR IN PART, BY D&B'S OR DATASTAR'S NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN
REPORTING, COMMUNICATING OR DELIVERING THE INFORMATION, DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY, TO YOU.
2. YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER D&B NOR DATASTAR WILL BE LIABLE FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
3. IF, NOTWITHSTANDING PARAGRAPHS 2 AND 3 ABOVE, LIABILITY CAN BE
IMPOSED ON D&B AND/OR DATASTAR, THEN YOU AGREE THAT D&B'S AND
DATASTAR'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY, IF ANY, FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES OR
INJURIES TO YOU (AND/OR YOUR CUSTOMER IN THE CASE OF AN
INFORMATION PROFESSIONAL) ARISING OUT OF ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF
D&B AND/OR DATASTAR IN CONNECTION WITH ANYTHING TO BE DONE OR
FURNISHED HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OR
INJURY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) AND REGARDLESS OF THE EQUITABLE
RIGHT CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN VIOLATED, SHALL NEVER EXCEED THE
AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICES FURNISHED HEREUNDER DURING
THE PREVIOUS TWELVE MONTH PERIOD OR US$ 5,000.- EQUIVALENT,
WHICHEVER IS GREATER, AND YOU COVENANT AND PROMISE THAT YOU WILL
NOT SUE D&B AND/OR DATASTAR FOR AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN SUCH SUM
AND THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN ANY SUIT AGAINST
D&B AND/OR DATASTAR.
