Service Limitation
3.3 Notwithstanding Clause 3.1, Lantern’s services are not intended to be used as the basis for any business decision, nor to relieve the Client of its obligation to comply with its own obligations under Applicable Law. The Data licensed under this Agreement (unless stated otherwise) is based upon data which is produced by Lantern and its Affiliates, is provided by the Client and/or third parties, or is obtained from public sources and the accuracy and/or completeness of it would not be possible and/or economically viable for Lantern to guarantee. Lantern’s services may include models and techniques based on statistical analysis, probability and predictive behaviour. The Client acknowledges that it is prudent to use, and it is responsible for using, the Services as one of a number of factors in its decision-making process, and for determining those other factors. Therefore, Lantern may be liable if it fails to comply with its obligation under Clause 3.1 but Lantern is not able to accept any other liability for:
a) any inaccuracy, incompleteness or other error in the Data which arises as a result of data provided to Lantern by the Client or any third party; or
b) any failure of the Services to achieve any particular result for the Client or any Agreed Affiliate.

4.1 If and to the extent that the Client wishes to have any of its Affiliates enjoy the benefit of this Agreement, the Client shall agree with Lantern the agreed Affiliates who shall be authorised (Agreed Affiliates), and they shall be identified as such on the Order Form. Acceptance of Agreed Affiliates shall be at Lantern’s absolute discretion and Lantern may, acting reasonably, withdraw its acceptance of an Agreed Affiliate on notice at any time.
4.2 Only Agreed Affiliates will enjoy the benefits of any Licence provided always that the Client shall procure that each such Agreed Affiliate is aware of and complies with the same obligations imposed on the Client under this Agreement (as if the Agreed Affiliate were the Client). Lantern agrees that the Agreed Affiliates may receive the benefit of any Licence, provided that the Client:
a) is entirely liable and responsible to Lantern for each Agreed Affiliate’s compliance with the same obligations as the Client under this Agreement;
b) be entirely liable and responsible for paying the Fees (including any fees payable for use of the Licensed Data by any Agreed Affiliate);
c) be entirely liable and responsible for any Loss suffered by Lantern in connection with this Agreement arising out of an act or omission of an Affiliate of the Client and such Losses shall be recoverable from the Client to the same extent that the Client would be liable were the relevant act or omission to have been committed by the Client; and
d) indemnify and hold harmless Lantern and its Affiliates from and against any Loss arising out of or related to or in connection directly or indirectly with a claim of any kind against Lantern by any Agreed Affiliate relating to or connected with the licence for the Data, provision of Services or any other benefit under this Agreement.
