Data License Agreement
(Short Form) (Pro-Licensee)

Summary

This template is a short form data license agreement for the license of a dataset such as financial, weather, or sports score data, to the provider of an account-based presentation layer platform. The license is drafted from the point of view of the licensee. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate and optional clauses. The data license agreement contemplates a licensee platform that is a social media site or website, as contrasted with a freely accessible public website. It provides a subscription fee structure, with optional rights to aggregate the supplied data for analytics purposes. The license is designed to facilitate the display and distribution of data with limited restrictions on the licensee. It delineates permitted uses, the methods by which the data will be delivered, and accounts for the possibility of changes to the data. The agreement also contemplates intellectual property ownership, representations and warranties regarding the accuracy and safety of the data, and confidentiality.
