Data license agreement

Signed by the buyer and the seller once an offer is accepted to negotiate and terms are agreed. The seller delivers the data to the buyer directly; Smelted never holds it.

Draft placeholder for counsel. This outline lists what the agreement will cover. It isn’t the agreement and binds no one. The final text comes from Smelted’s lawyer.

1. Grant

  • [Counsel: a non-exclusive license by default; exclusivity only if stated in the deal schedule.]
  • [Counsel: permitted uses from the schedule: model training, evaluations, agent environments.]
  • [Counsel: training permission does not include public release, resale or sublicensing of the raw data.]

2. Restrictions

  • [Counsel: no attempt to re-identify people or the seller’s customers; no redistribution of the dataset.]

3. Delivery

  • [Counsel: format, method and acceptance of the delivered data, per the schedule.]

4. Fees

  • [Counsel: the license fee and structure (flat, per unit or revenue share) from the accepted offer; paid as set out in the schedule.]
  • [Counsel: Smelted’s commission is deducted under the seller agency agreement and is not an extra charge to the buyer.]

5. Term and deletion

  • [Counsel: license term; deletion of the raw data at the end of the term.]
  • [Counsel: deletion doesn’t reverse completed training: models and outputs already produced may remain, as agreed.]

6. Warranties and liability

  • [Counsel: seller warranties on rights and de-identification; caps and exclusions.]
