LICENSE  AGREEMENT  WITH  LICENSOR  (“AGREEMENT”)  WITH  RESPECT  TO   THE
CONTENTS  OF  THE  ACCOMPANYING  DATA  FILES  (COLLECTIVELY,  THE  "DATA").  THE
IN  THE  DATA  REQUEST  WORKFLOW

1.

PARTIES; AUTHORIZED USERS.

A.

B.

C.

If, in Your Data Request Workflow, You indicated that you are entering into this Agreement
in  your  individual  capacity,  then  You  are  the  “Licensee”  and  no  other  person  will  be
authorized to access or use the Data under this Agreement. If you wish to share Data with
members  of  your  internal  group  or  team  or  other  employees  or  contractors  of  your
employer, please initiate a new Data Request Workflow and indicate this information when
requested,  upon which a new license agreement will be generated and provided for your
acceptance. References to “Authorized Group” and “Authorized Users” in this Agreement,
and the provisions of Paragraphs 1.B through 1.E below, do not apply to You.

If, in Your Data Request Workflow, You indicated that you are entering into this Agreement
on  behalf  of  an  internal  group,  lab,  or  business  unit  identified  in  the  Data  Request
Workflow  (“Authorized  Group”)  that  is  a  part  of the Institution/Employer specified in your
Data  Request  Workflow  (“Institution/Employer”),  then  this  Agreement  authorizes access,
downloading and use of the Data by You, as Licensee, as well as Authorized Users, on the
terms set forth below.

“Authorized Users” means individuals who are legal members of the Authorized Group via
contract, employment status or student status. The Authorized Group must be an officially
recognized  subunit  within  the  Institution/Employer  identified  in  the  Data  Request
Workflow,  as  evidenced  by  a  public  web  page  or  other  official  and  publicly  available
Institution/Employer information source. An individual’s status as an Authorized User, and
their  rights  under  this  Agreement,  terminate  automatically  upon  the  severance  of  their
relationship or employment with the Authorized Group or Institution/Employer.

D.  You, as Licensee, are permitted to sublicense your rights to Authorized Users for so long
as they are members of the Authorized Group. Authorized Users are entitled to exercise
all  rights  granted  to  you  as  Licensee  under  this  Agreement.  It  is  your  responsibility  to
ensure  that  each  Authorized  User  is  provided  with  a  copy  of  this  Agreement  and
understands and agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

E.  You  must  ensure  that  each  Authorized  User  complies  fully  with  the  terms  of  this
Agreement  and  you  agree  that  you  will be fully liable for all acts and omissions of each
Authorized User. You represent and warrant to Licensor that you have all necessary legal
rights and authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of all Authorized Users.

2.
LICENSE  GRANT.  Subject  to  Licensee’s  and  all  Authorized  Users’  compliance  with  the
terms  and  conditions  of  this  Agreement,  Licensor  grants  to  Licensee  a  non-exclusive  and
non-transferable license to download, reproduce and use the Data, and to create derivative works
















of the Data, for research,   commercial and non-commercial purposes. All full and partial copies of
the Data made by Licensee shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

LIMITATIONS ON DATA SHARING; STORAGE; AND USAGE.

A.  Permitted  Sharing  with  Other  Licensees.  Licensee  shall  not  transfer,  license,
sublicense, sell, assign, display, share or otherwise convey any portion of the Data or any
derivative  work  to  any  third  party  other  than  another  licensee  (“Other Licensee”) that is
bound by the terms of an agreement with Licensor on terms identical to those contained in
this  Agreement, in which case Licensee shall be permitted to give access to the Data to
such  Other  Licensee  and  its  employees,  agents  and  contractors  that  are  bound  under
such  agreement  for  the  purpose  of  collaborating with Licensee on one or more projects
involving the Data.

B.  Permitted Data Storage. Licensee may use and store the data only on (i) servers
and  devices  maintained  by  and  located  within  Licensee’s  Institution/Employer,  or (ii) on
cloud  or  remote  storage  and  backup  services  (e.g.,  Dropbox,  Google  Drive,  AWS,
Microsoft  Azure) that have a HIPAA-approved Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) in
place with Licensee’s Institution/Employer.

C.   Interaction  with  Third  Party  Models.  Licensee  shall not share or distribute Data with
any  third  party  model  vendor or developer for training or development purposes, even if
that  vendor  is  a  party  to  a  BAA  with  Licensee’s  Institution/Employer,  where  training
includes model weight modification and other adjustments to a model’s logic or operation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may use a third party model to analyze the
Data if the model vendor is a party to a BAA with Licensee’s Institution/Employer, where
the model’s interaction with the Data is limited to short-term interaction (e.g., prompting or
querying), but is not used for training purposes.

D.
Licensee  Models.  Licensee is permitted to make, reproduce and distribute models,
algorithms and programs that are developed, trained or adapted using the Data, but which
do  not  themselves  contain  the  Data  or  any  modified  version  of  the  Data  (“Licensee
Models”),  provided  that  Licensee,  prior  to  dissemination  of  any  such  Licensee  Models,
undertakes all reasonable efforts to minimise the likelihood that Data can be memorized,
derived,  reconstructed  or reconstituted through the use or construction of such Licensee
Models.

E.   Derivative  Data.  “Derivative  data”  is  Data  that  has  been  modified,  excerpted,
encrypted,  condensed,  encoded,  translated  or  otherwise  altered,  such  that  it  contains
Data  or  Data  may  be  derived  from  it.  “Synthetic  Data”  is  artificially  generated data that
mimics  real-world  data  characteristics.  Synthetic  Data  that  is  created  using  Data  or
Derivative  Data  is  also  considered  Derivative  Data.  For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,
Derivative Data is considered to be Data subject to all restrictions described herein.

F.   Publications.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the  foregoing,  Data  may  not  be
reproduced in papers, articles, presentations, analyses, reports or publications (“Papers”)
except that small representative samples of Data may be reproduced in up to five images
or  figures  per  Paper for illustrative purposes only. Notwithstanding journal or conference
requirements,  larger  amounts  of  data  shall  not  be published, posted or otherwise made
available  via  supplemental  files,  zip  archives,  code  packages  or other means. Licensee
may  refer  publishers  and  conference  organizers  to  Licensor  if  they  wish  to  obtain  a
separate license to the Data for such purposes.

4.
Licensee shall not:

person who is the source of any Data or any clinical data or biological sample from which
Data  has been generated (a “Data Subject”), (ii) to invade or compromise the   privacy of
any Data Subject, (iii) to attempt to identify or contact any Data Subject or group of Data
Subjects,(iv)   to extract or extrapolate any identifying information about a Data Subject, to
establish  a  Data  Subject's  membership  in  a  particular  group  of persons, or otherwise to
cause harm or injury to any Data Subject.
