Our licensing process helps you understand the different types of data we offer, who owns it, who is authorized to use our data, how you can make the most of it and if you are protected when using it.
A data license is an agreement authorizing the supply of our price data for your internal company use. This ensures compliance with our terms and conditions.
In response to the growing adoption of our price data, we offer data licenses as the solution to receive and use our prices for key functions in sales and trading, mid and back office operations and all other functions that interact with our price data directly or via a formula that involves our proprietary price data.
To view, trade and reference our price data you need to be a named user under the correct data license. You can share our price data but only to other named users that are authorized under your company’s data license.
If you are a named user on a data license you can utilize our 4,000+ prices, exactly how you need to, for your contracted period of time, while remaining compliant.
If you are a named user you are authorized to share data with other licensed colleagues within your company, trade physical and financial contracts, run valuations on inventory and much more.
You may not need to use all of our prices, that’s why our licenses are tailored to your business needs, with the additional benefit of choosing how you receive our data.
Distribution
Extracting and redistribution of our price data to colleagues directly or via your company system.
Trading
Use of our price data for the trading of physical and financial contracts where the data is the underlying reference.
Transactions
Use of our price data for valuation, pricing activities or as a reference in transactions.
Examples of referencing our price data (but not limited to):
Derived data
Creation and use of information derived from our price data.
Examples of derived data activities include (but not limited to):
Determining the most appropriate license depends on what type of data you use and who sees or interacts with it. Not everyone needs a log-in, but everyone who comes into contact with our data, including the use of a formula that involves our data, will need to be licensed as a named user to protect your company and our intellectual property.
Whether you are a direct or indirect user using direct or derived data, you must be an authorized or named user and covered by your company’s data license.
