2. While CCRS will make every effort to supply accurate information, and to provide the most objective and relevant assessment of this information, it will not accept any liability for any damage either directly or consequentially caused to Customers through the Customer's use or misuse of information or advice contained in or accompanying any Product provided by CCRS, whether this information or advice be accurate or inaccurate. Nor will CCRS accept any liability for loss or damage (whether directly or consequentially caused) to the Customer resulting from the untimely delivery, or delivery to the wrong physical or electronic address, of any Product. CCRS Products and services are intended for use as part of a package of research and assessment data to be amassed by the customer. They are not designed to be relied upon as a sole basis for decision making.

3. The Customer will provide in writing full and accurate information as to the identity, address, and contact details of any subject that CCRS may be instructed by that Customer to research from time to time.

4. CCRS accepts no responsibility for the condition or accessibility of the Internet at any time, and will accept no liability for any loss or damage caused to any customer through inability to access CCRS Products or services at any time due to problems with the internet. While CCRS will endeavour to make its services available 24/7, it will not guarantee this level of service at all times.

5. Except where legally obliged to do so by a court of law or similar authority, CCRS Products and services are not to be disclosed to any third party without express permission in writing of a Director of CCRS. Where disclosure is legitimately demanded by a competent court of law, CCRS will expect to be informed by the Customer of this process as a matter of courtesy.

6. It is a condition of service by CCRS that Customers will keep entirely confidential and private any Product received from CCRS. They will not divulge the existence of such Product to any third party, including the subject of such Product. Further, Customers of CCRS will indemnify CCRS against any loss or damage that CCRS may suffer as either the direct or indirect result of the disclosure by the customer of the content or existence of any Product provided confidentially to those Customers. This applies whether the Product is disclosed in whole, part or by reference only, to any other party by the Customer or its employees or agents, in contravention of these terms and conditions.

7. Except in cases of gross negligence (as defined by English law), no Customer will bring any action whatever against CCRS in relation to the content of any Product (or the supposed or actual effect of that content), whether such Products refer directly or indirectly to the Customer, to associates of the Customer, or to any party whatsoever, and whether such reference be deemed to be negative or positive.
