The database, and specifically the names, titles, company descriptions, email addresses or any other fields of data may not be extracted in any combination, however limited, for the purpose of creating or adding to another database that is used in any way as part of a commercial product, publication or service. Microquest reserves the right to monitor Customer's use of the Service to ensure compliance with this Agreement and prevent fraudulent use.

Aggregate liability shall, in no case, exceed the aggregate amount payable by Customer to Microquest. All prior agreements, both oral and written, between the parties on the matters contained in this Agreement are expressly cancelled and superseded by this Agreement.
