The User agrees that it will not disseminate any information contained in the study to any person not currently employed by the User and that the use of the information shall be limited to its employees for use in furthering their business objectives. If the Study is transferred by the User to other companies or third parties, the User agrees that it will pay PTOLEMUS the cost of the Study for each company or third party that has had access to the Study.

If the User wishes to quote a figure, a fact or any other item from the Study in a public statement, its license allows it to do so provided it indicates that the source is PTOLEMUS Consulting Group.

2- Liability of PTOLEMUS
PTOLEMUS made every effort to ensure information presented in the Study is accurate and complete at the time of the publication.
