ai.market Standard Data Licence v1.0

This licence is agreed between the seller identified in the signed licence record (the “Licensor”) and the buyer identified in that record (the “Licensee”). It applies only to the dataset version, listing and order identified in that record, together with a later dataset version delivered under that same order (the “Data”). The effective date is the buyer's recorded acceptance time, and the same recorded terms govern any such later version.

1. Licence grant. Subject to payment and this licence, the Licensor grants the Licensee a perpetual, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to possess, copy, modify and use the Data for the Licensee's internal business purposes. The Licensee may permit its affiliates and contractors to use the Data only while acting for the Licensee, only for those purposes and only under confidentiality and use restrictions at least as protective as this licence. The Licensee remains responsible for them. No other sublicence or transfer is permitted.

2. Permitted work and ownership. The Licensee may analyse the Data and use it to develop, operate and improve products, services, reports, statistics, models, model weights, evaluations, outputs and other derived works. As between the parties, the Licensee owns its analyses, models, outputs and derived works and may commercialise them, provided that a recipient cannot extract or reconstruct the Data, or a material substitute for the Data, from them. The Licensor retains all rights in the Data that this licence does not expressly grant.

3. AI and machine learning. The Licensee may use the Data to train, fine-tune, test and evaluate artificial-intelligence and machine-learning systems, subject to every other restriction in this licence.

4. Restrictions. The Licensee must not redistribute, publish, sell, rent, sublicense or otherwise make the Data itself available to another person except as expressly allowed for affiliates and contractors in section 1. The Licensee must not use the Data to identify or re-identify an individual, combine it with other information for that purpose, or attempt to defeat access, privacy or security controls. Applicable law always applies.

5. Samples and previews. Any sample, preview, schema extract or other material made available before purchase is for evaluation of the listing only. It may not be used in production, redistributed, used to train or evaluate a model, or retained after the evaluation ends.

6. Licensor promises. The Licensor promises that it has the rights needed to offer and license the Data; that it sourced and provides the Data lawfully; that providing and using the Data as this licence permits does not knowingly infringe another person's rights; and that the Data contains no regulated personal data or special-category data. The Licensor also promises that the listing's express statements about the Data are materially accurate when delivered.

7. Inspection, warranty and remedy. The Licensee has seven calendar days after first delivery to inspect the Data and notify ai.market of a material failure to match the listing's express statements. Except for the promises in section 6, the Data is provided as available, without any promise of completeness, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability or a particular result. For a timely valid notice, the Licensor may either correct or replace the affected Data within a reasonable time or approve a refund. That fix-or-refund choice is the Licensee's exclusive remedy for a Data defect. After seven days, acceptance is final except for fraud, wilful misconduct or rights the law does not allow the parties to exclude.

8. Confidentiality. Each party must protect the other party's non-public information with reasonable care and use it only to perform this licence. This duty does not cover information that was lawfully known without restriction, becomes public without breach, is independently developed, or is lawfully received from another source. A legally compelled disclosure is permitted after notice where lawful.

9. Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party's total aggregate liability arising from this licence, including liability relating to the promises in section 6, is limited to three times the fees paid for the affected order. The cap does not apply to that party's wilful misconduct or breach of section 8. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential loss, or lost profits or revenue, except where the law does not permit that exclusion.

10. Refund and termination. This licence is perpetual unless the affected order is refunded. On a refund, the licence terminates automatically. Within 30 days after notice of the refund, the Licensee must delete the Data and all copies under its control and confirm deletion through ai.market. The Licensee need not delete models, outputs or derived works that do not contain and cannot be used to extract or reconstruct the Data. Accrued payment, confidentiality, liability, ownership and deletion obligations survive as their nature requires.

11. Notices and marketplace role. Contract notices, defect notices, refund requests and termination communications must be sent through ai.market. ai.market provides the marketplace and record but is not a party to this licence, does not license the Data, gives no legal advice and makes no representation that this licence is suitable for either party. The marketplace terms govern marketplace operation, including non-custodial delivery, the 5% commission, refunds and dispute holds; if this licence conflicts with those operational rules, the marketplace terms prevail for those matters.

12. General. This licence and its signed record are the entire agreement between the Licensor and Licensee about the licensed Data, subject to the marketplace terms described in section 11. A waiver must be written and applies only once. An invalid provision is narrowed or removed only as needed, without affecting the rest. Neither party may assign this licence without the other's written consent, except with a merger or sale of substantially all of its relevant business if the successor accepts this licence. There are no third-party beneficiaries.

13. Governing law and courts. New York law governs this licence, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The state and federal courts located in New York County, New York have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party consents to those courts.
