What is a Data Licence?

This Data Licence Agreement is designed for use in New Zealand when one party wishes to grant another party rights to access and use specific data sets or databases. It is particularly relevant in today's data-driven economy where organizations increasingly rely on external data sources for business operations, analytics, or service delivery. The agreement addresses key requirements under New Zealand law, including compliance with the Privacy Act 2020, Copyright Act 1994, and Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017. It provides a robust framework for managing data sharing arrangements while protecting both parties' interests through clear terms on usage rights, restrictions, data protection, and commercial considerations. This template is suitable for various data licensing scenarios, from simple one-off data transfers to ongoing data service arrangements.
