Section [1]. Introduction, Definitions, and Acceptance of Terms.
This Data License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legally binding contract entered into by and between the purchasing individual or commercial entity (“Licensee,” “you,” or “your”) and R. Ancillary LLC (“Licensor,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Agreement governs your purchase, download, and use of the proprietary data file, compiled information, and accompanying documentation delivered to you at checkout (collectively, the “Dataset”). By checking the “I agree” box on the checkout page, clicking the purchase button, or downloading, accessing, or using the Dataset, you explicitly acknowledge that you have read this Agreement, understand it, and agree to be strictly bound by all of its terms, including the Maryland governing law provision, the strict redistribution bans, and the limitation of liability provisions contained herein. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a business, corporation, or institutional entity, you represent and warrant that you possess the full legal authority to bind that entity to these terms. If you do not agree to all terms of this Agreement, you are not authorized to purchase or download the Dataset.
Section [2]. Scope of Authorized Use and Prohibitions on Redistribution.
(a) Internal Use Only: Subject to the strict compliance with all terms of this Agreement and payment of the applicable license fee, Licensor grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, worldwide license to use the Dataset solely for Licensee’s internal personal use (for B2C consumers) or internal business operations (for B2B entities).
(b) Absolute Redistribution Ban: Licensee shall not, directly or indirectly, redistribute, publish, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lease, assign, market, or otherwise commercially exploit the Dataset, or any portion, subset, extraction, or summary thereof, to any third party.
(c) Derivative Works: Licensee is prohibited from creating any derivative datasets, database products, APIs, indexation services, or digital products based upon or incorporating the Dataset for public distribution or commercial sale. Any distribution of derivative materials that allows a third party to reconstruct or extract the underlying raw data of the Dataset is an explicit and material violation of this Agreement.
Section [3]. Authorized Users and Seat Restrictions.
(a) Definition of Authorized User: For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Authorized User” means a single, natural person designated by Licensee who is an employee, contractor, or direct agent of Licensee, authorized to access and utilize the Dataset on a single workstation.
(b) Seat Limitations: The license granted herein is strictly limited to the specific number of user licenses or “seats” purchased by Licensee during the checkout process (the “Licensed Scope”).
(c) Credential and Storage Safeguards: Licensee shall not permit the Dataset to be uploaded to public repositories, local networks, intranets, or shared company drives that allow access to individuals outside the Licensed Scope. Sharing download credentials, local copies of the file, or license information to bypass seat limits is strictly prohibited. If Licensee requires an expansion of the Licensed Scope (e.g., an enterprise-wide or multi-seat license), Licensee must purchase additional seats from Licensor at current standard commercial rates.
Section [4]. Prohibition on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Training and Automated Data Extraction.
Licensee explicitly acknowledges and agrees that the Dataset constitutes the highly valuable intellectual property and proprietary trade secrets of Licensor. Licensee is strictly prohibited from, and shall not permit any third party to, engage in the following activities:
(a) AI and Machine Learning Training: Licensee shall not use, upload, ingest, or transfer the Dataset, or any portion, derivation, summary, or subset thereof, to train, test, fine-tune, validate, or otherwise develop any artificial intelligence systems, machine learning algorithms, large language models (LLMs), neural networks, or deep learning technologies.
(b) Automated Extraction and Scraping: Licensee shall not deploy, utilize, or permit the use of any automated systems, bots, spiders, scrapers, crawlers, data mining tools, or extraction software to systematically parse, scrape, copy, or index the Dataset, or to circumvent any security features or delivery mechanisms established by Licensor. Any violation of this Section shall constitute a material, non-curable breach of this Agreement, resulting in the immediate automatic termination of the license granted herein, without prejudice to any other legal or equitable remedies available to Licensor under Maryland law, including injunctive relief.
Section [5]. Static Snapshot; No Entitlement to Future Updates.
(a) Static Nature of Dataset: Licensee explicitly acknowledges and agrees that the Dataset is delivered as a static, point-in-time snapshot current only as of the date of delivery.
(b) No Maintenance or Corrections: Licensor is under no legal, financial, or technical obligation to provide Licensee with any future updates, upgrades, refreshes, patches, additions, modifications, or corrected versions of the Dataset.
(c) Separate Purchase Required: Any subsequent versions or updated releases of the Dataset compiled or offered by Licensor must be purchased under a separate license agreement and fee, unless otherwise agreed to in writing signed by both parties.
Section [6]. Right to Audit (Applicable to Commercial and Institutional Licensees Only).
(a) Audit Right: To ensure compliance with the user and seat restrictions outlined in this Agreement, Licensor (or its designated independent, certified public accounting firm) shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Licensee, to audit Licensee’s systems, records, databases, and facilities during normal business hours.
(b) Cooperation: Licensee shall fully cooperate with Licensor’s auditor, provide reasonable access to relevant IT infrastructure where the Dataset is stored or processed, and shall not unreasonably delay or obstruct the audit process. Licensor shall conduct the audit in a manner that minimizes disruption to Licensee’s business operations.
(c) Non-Compliance and Underpayment Fees: If an audit reveals that Licensee has permitted unauthorized access to the Dataset, duplicated the Dataset beyond the scope of the purchased license, or shared the Dataset with unauthorized users: (i) Licensee shall immediately cease the unauthorized use and destroy all unauthorized copies; (ii) Licensee shall pay Licensor for all unauthorized use at Licensor’s then-current standard commercial rates; and (iii) If the audit reveals an underpayment or unauthorized deployment exceeding five percent (5%) of the scope of the licensed rights, Licensee shall immediately reimburse Licensor for the full, reasonable costs of conducting the audit.
Section [7]. Data Deletion and Destruction Upon Termination.
(a) Right to Terminate: Licensor reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and without prior notice upon any material breach of this Agreement by Licensee, including but not limited to unauthorized commercial redistribution, violation of seat limits, or use of data for AI/Machine Learning training.
(b) Mandatory Purge and Deletion: Upon termination of this Agreement for material breach, all licensed rights granted to Licensee shall immediately cease. Licensee shall, within forty-eight (48) hours of termination, permanently delete and purge the Dataset, along with all partial copies, localized backups, summaries, and extractions thereof, from all computers, servers, drives, networks, cloud storage environments, and physical media in Licensee’s possession, custody, or control.
(c) Certification of Destruction: Upon written request by Licensor, an officer of the Licensee (or the individual user if B2C) must provide a legally binding, signed affidavit certifying under penalty of perjury that the complete destruction and purging of the Dataset has been executed in full compliance with this Section.
SECTION [8]. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(A) “AS-IS” PROVISION: THE DATASET IS DELIVERED TO LICENSEE AS A STATIC, ONE-TIME SNAPSHOT AS OF THE DATE OF STALENESS (WHEN THE DATA WAS GENERATED). LICENSOR PROVIDES THE DATASET SOLY ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, CURRENCY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE DATASET WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE DATA WILL BE ERROR-FREE.
(B) EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES: IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE, OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH LICENSEE, FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, DATA LOSS, CORRUPTION OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR FINANCIAL LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE DATASET, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
(C) MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY: LICENSOR’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE DATASET, OR THE DELIVERY THEREOF—WHETHER ARISING OUT OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTORY VIOLATION, OR OTHERWISE—SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO AND SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE TO LICENSOR FOR THE SPECIFIC DATASET LICENSE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.
Section [9]. Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction under the laws of the State of Maryland, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while reflecting the original intent of the parties. If such modification is not possible, the invalid provision shall be severed from this Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any single provision shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.
Section [10]. Governing Law and Venue.
This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of, or relate to this Agreement, shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be instituted exclusively in the state courts located in Montgomery County, Maryland, or the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
Section [11]. Collection of Legal Compliance and Transactional Data.
When you purchase and download a digital product or dataset from our platform, we automatically collect and log specific metadata associated with your transaction. This data includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, a date and time stamp of the transaction, and the specific version of the license agreement displayed to you at checkout. Why We Collect This Data: We process and store this information based on our legitimate legal interest in protecting our intellectual property and enforcing our contract terms. This metadata forms a permanent “Consent Audit Trail.” It is used exclusively to: Prove your explicit acceptance of our Data License Agreement in the event of a contractual or intellectual property dispute. Monitor and verify compliance with our strict seat limits, usage rules, and redistribution bans. Prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorized downloads, or malicious data-scraping activities. Data Retention and Sharing: This legal compliance data is securely stored in our transactional database and is retained for as long as necessary to enforce the terms of the dataset license. We do not sell, rent, or trade this information to third-party marketers. It will only be disclosed to third parties if required to do so by a court of law, law enforcement, or external legal counsel during a formal contract enforcement or audit procedure.
