Further, Licensor does not warrant, guarantee or make any representations that Licensee's use of the Database will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the results obtained will be successful or will satisfy Licensee's requirements. Licensee assumes the entire risk as to the results and performance of the Database and the consideration due under this Agreement reflects such assumption of risk by Licensee.
