Any act or omission by a User in respect of Access, Information, a Password, or Service will be an act or omission of Client (irrespective of whether Client authorized or permitted that act or omission).
3.2 Client must not assign or transfer its rights or delegate any obligations under this Agreement, and must not resell or facilitate the Access to any other party.
3.3 Client must take all reasonable precautions to ensure that the Passwords provided to each User are kept confidential and Client must immediately notify MVL by email to support@exchange-handbook.co.uk if it believes that a Password has been disclosed to any person other than the licensed Users.

For the avoidance of doubt neither Users nor the Client may, without prior written approval from MVL, copy, disclose, redistribute, re-sell or bundle the Information outside the Client’s premises or internal network or to any third party. Where any Information is extracted and/or used by Client, Client must ensure that such Information is presented in a manner that complies with all applicable laws in the places in which such Information is disclosed, that any intellectual property notices applicable to that Information are also reproduced or published, and that the source of the Information is attributed to MVL in accordance with the provisions of Clause 2.9 and the laws applicable to that Information.
