constitutes Your acceptance and agreement to be bound by the terms and
7+
conditions of this Agreement.
8+
9+
The benefits that each Data Provider receives from making Data available and
10+
that You receive from Data or otherwise under these terms and conditions shall
11+
be deemed sufficient consideration for the formation of this Agreement.
12+
Accordingly, Data Provider(s) and You (the "Parties") agree as follows:
13+
14+
## Section 1. Definitions
15+
16+
1.1 "Add" means to supplement Data with Your own or someone else's Data,
17+
resulting in Your "Additions." Additions do not include Results.
18+
19+
1.2 "Computational Use" means Your analysis (through the use of computational
20+
devices or otherwise) or other interpretation of Data. By way of example and
21+
not limitation, "Computational Use" includes the application of any
22+
computational analytical technique, the purpose of which is the analysis of
23+
any Data in digital form to generate information about Data such as patterns,
24+
trends, correlations, inferences, insights and attributes.
25+
26+
1.3 "Data" means the information (including copyrightable information, such as
27+
images or text), collectively or individually, whether created or gathered by
28+
a Data Provider or an Entity acting on its behalf, to which rights are granted
29+
under this Agreement.
30+
31+
1.4 "Data Provider" means any Entity (including any employee or contractor of
32+
such Entity authorized to Publish Data on behalf of such Entity) that
33+
Publishes Data under this Agreement prior to Your Receiving it.
34+

40+
of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, together with all other entities
41+
that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity.
42+
For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (a) the power, directly
43+

44+
contract or otherwise, (b) the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of
45+
the outstanding shares or securities, (c) the beneficial ownership of such

entity or, (d) the ability to appoint, whether by agreement or right, the

majority of directors of an Entity.
48+

50+
by this Agreement, using any technology having functionality to record and

1.9 "Publish" means to make all or a subset of Data (including Your Enhanced
58+
Data) available in any manner which enables its Use, including by providing a
59+
copy on physical media or remote access. For any form of Entity, that is to
60+

A "Publication" occurs each time You Publish Data.

69+
portion of the Data on which the Computational Use is based.

rights and permissions granted by You under this Agreement relating to Data
