Terms of use

Last updated 12 October 2026

The service

THE MOAT is an editor-selected front page for global business, created and curated by PeerSpots. Its website and its MCP server are free to use and read-only.

Whose work it is

The articles, videos and podcasts THE MOAT links to belong to their publishers and authors. THE MOAT shows references to them (publication, author, headline as a citation, link) and its own reasons for selecting them.

Read, quote and share the original under the publisher’s terms. Don’t present THE MOAT’s results as the reporting itself, and don’t use them to reproduce, translate or summarise articles in place of the original.

Fair use of the MCP server

Use it through MCP clients and assistants within the rate limits. Don’t try to bulk-copy THE MOAT’s selection, to get around the limits, or to disrupt the service.

No warranty

THE MOAT selects and links; it does not verify reporting beyond what its publishers state, and the service is provided as it is, without guarantees of availability or accuracy.

Independence

No one pays for a place on THE MOAT, and no commercial relationship influences what it selects or how it ranks.

Changes and contact

These terms may change; the date above says when. Questions: [email protected].
