By accessing or using the Data on our Platform, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, you may not subscribe to or use the Data. Unless defined elsewhere in this Agreement, capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in Section 11 (Definitions).

2. Data Subscription & Authorization

2.1. Subscription to Data.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Transacted will provide You access to the Data through a paid or otherwise designated subscription plan (“Subscription”). The scope, pricing, frequency of updates, and other details for Your Subscription will be set forth in the corresponding offer, order, or plan details on our Platform (collectively, the “Subscription Plan”).

2.2. License Grant.
Transacted grants You a nonexclusive, worldwide, nontransferable, and revocable (in accordance with the terms hereof) right and license to access, receive, use, and modify the Data, and to create Derived Data (as defined below), solely for Your internal business purposes in accordance with this Agreement and the Subscription Plan. All rights not expressly granted are reserved to Transacted.

2.3. Restrictions on Use.
Except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, You may not, and will not permit or enable any third party to:

  • (a) publish, disseminate, distribute, transfer, or provide any third party with direct access to the Data (or any material subset thereof), except as allowed in writing by Transacted;
  • (b) sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise monetize or attempt to monetize the Data, or any material subset thereof;
  • (c) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices (including copyright and trademark notices) of Transacted or its licensors placed on or contained in the Data;
  • (d) decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive source code or algorithms from the Data, except to the extent permitted by applicable law;
  • (e) use the Data to compete with Transacted or to build, train, or improve (directly or indirectly) any similar or competing product or service;
  • (f) use the Data to violate any applicable laws or regulations, or to infringe or misappropriate any third party’s intellectual property rights, personal rights, or privacy rights; or
  • (g) bypass, disable, or interfere with any security-related features or technical limitations in the Platform, or otherwise use the Data in a manner that could damage, disable, or impair our Platform or our rights.

2.4. Affiliates and Authorized Users.
You may allow Your Affiliates (as defined below) and authorized personnel (including contractors performing services for You) to access and use the Data, provided that:
  • (a) You remain responsible and liable for their compliance with this Agreement; and
  • (b) any breach by such Affiliates or authorized personnel will be deemed a breach by You.

3. Proprietary Rights

3.1. Ownership of Data.
As between You and Transacted, Transacted (and its licensors, if any) retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Data, including any and all proprietary and intellectual property rights therein. Except for the limited license granted in Section 2.2, nothing in this Agreement transfers or conveys any ownership or other rights of any kind to You in or to the Data.

3.2. Derived Data.
Subject to Transacted’s rights in the underlying Data, You own all right, title, and interest in and to any work product, data, analyses, or other materials that You create using the Data (“Derived Data”), provided that such Derived Data does not contain unmodified portions of the Data in a standalone, extractable format that would enable a third party to access or use the Data itself. Nothing in this Agreement grants Transacted any ownership of or rights to Your Derived Data, except for any underlying rights in the Data itself.

4. Confidentiality & Data Protection

4.1. Confidential Information.
The Data (including its selection, arrangement, or compilation) and any proprietary or confidential information made available to You by Transacted under this Agreement (“Confidential Information”) shall not be disclosed to any third party except as permitted hereunder. This obligation does not apply to information that:

  • (a) is or becomes publicly known other than through a breach of this Agreement;
  • (b) can be shown by documentation to have been independently developed by You without reference to Transacted’s Confidential Information;
  • (c) is lawfully received free of restriction from a third party having the right to furnish such information; or
  • (d) is required to be disclosed by law, judicial, or governmental order, provided that You promptly notify Transacted of such requirement and cooperate with Transacted in seeking protective measures.

4.2. Protection Against Misuse.
You agree to use all reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information (including the Data) from theft, unauthorized disclosure, misuse, or unauthorized access. You shall notify Transacted promptly if You become aware of any misuse or unauthorized access, copying, or disclosure of the Data and will cooperate with Transacted in any investigation or enforcement actions related to the same.

4.3. Personal Information.
Except to the extent Transacted specifically designates Data as containing or relating to personal information, You agree that You will not use the Data to identify or re-identify any individual, nor combine or match the Data with any other data to do so, if the Data is not already provided in an identifiable format. You further agree that any personal data or personal information contained within the Data has either been lawfully made available to the public or has been otherwise lawfully obtained. Transacted does not provide any guarantees regarding the presence or absence of personal data unless otherwise expressly stated.

5. Warranties & Disclaimers

5.1. Transacted’s Limited Warranty.
Transacted represents and warrants that it has the necessary rights to provide the Data to You, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Transacted will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Data is maintained in a manner designed to protect it from known viruses or other harmful code.

5.2. Warranty Limitations.
To the extent the Data is derived from or includes information from third parties, Transacted makes no separate warranty regarding the completeness or accuracy of such third-party information. Further, Transacted does not warrant that the Data will meet Your specific needs, or that it is or will remain complete, current, or error-free.

5.3. Disclaimer.
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE DATA AND THE PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. TRANSACTED MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE USE OR RESULTS OF THE DATA IN TERMS OF ITS ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.

IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

6.2. Liability Cap.
EXCEPT FOR YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY FEES AND ANY LIABILITY ARISING FROM YOUR MISUSE, THEFT, OR UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF THE DATA, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THREE TIMES THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU TO TRANSACTED DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000).

6.4. Direct Damages for Data Misuse.
For clarity, any losses, costs, or damages resulting from theft, unauthorized use, or unauthorized disclosure of the Data (including any costs associated with investigation, remediation, notification, or defense of claims) will be deemed direct damages and not subject to the exclusion in Section 6.1.

7.1. Transacted’s Indemnification.
Transacted will indemnify, defend, and hold You harmless from any third-party claims, actions, or proceedings (“Claims”) arising out of or related to Transacted’s provision of the Data that actually or allegedly infringes any third-party intellectual property right, provided that You (a) promptly notify Transacted in writing of the Claim, (b) grant Transacted sole control over the defense and settlement of the Claim, and (c) reasonably cooperate with Transacted in the defense of such Claim. Transacted will not settle any Claim that imposes an obligation of any kind on You without Your prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).

You will indemnify, defend, and hold Transacted and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents harmless from any third-party Claims arising out of or relating to:

  • (b) any violation of applicable law by You (or Your Affiliates or authorized personnel) in connection with Your use of the Data; or
  • (c) the infringement of any third-party rights (including intellectual property and privacy rights) caused by Your Derived Data or any combination of the Data with Your own data or systems, to the extent the Claim would not have arisen but for Your combination or modification.

In defending such Claims, You will (i) promptly notify Transacted of the Claim, (ii) have sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim, and (iii) not settle any Claim that imposes any liability or obligation on Transacted without Transacted’s prior written consent.
