The licence extends only to Data Services, Trial Data Package, distribution technology, and Permitted Workflow Rights identified in the Order Form. The Client shall have no right to access or use any other 9fin Service, dataset, feature, or functionality under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this licence does not permit the Client to develop, deploy, or make available any Application or other product or service that incorporates or relies upon the Data Services or any Trial Data, whether to third parties or for commercial use. All workflow rights are for internal Client use only.

3.2. Trial Use. Access is provided solely for the Trial Purposes, and the Client is not permitted to use the Data Services in production or business-critical systems. The Data Services (including related software and content) are licensed, not sold, and may be pre-release, not fully functional, and may have different security, privacy, availability, or reliability standards than other 9fin Services. The Client shall use the Data Services at its own risk. 9fin may impose rate limits (including API calls, access instances, or duration) and may discontinue, suspend, or terminate the Data Services at any time without liability.

3.3. Use restrictions. In addition to any other restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Client will not use the Data Services beyond the rights granted in this Agreement. The Client will not (and will not permit any third party to): (i) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Data Services; (ii) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, disclose, share, or otherwise make the Data Services, any data accessed through the Data Services, or any content, output, or other materials generated from or derived from the Data Services, available to any person other than Authorised Users, or to any third party; (iii) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to any software or code component of the Data Services; (iv) remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices on or in the Data Services or related materials; (v) use the Data Services in a way that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property or other rights of any person, or violates any applicable law; (vi) design or permit the Applications to disable, override, or otherwise interfere with any 9fin communications to end users, consent screens, user settings, alerts, or warnings; (vii) use the Data Services to replicate, replace, or compete with the user experience of the 9fin offering in a manner that is confusingly similar to, or could reasonably be perceived as, a substitute for or competitive with the 9fin offering; (viii) use the Data Services or any output or content generated therefrom for competitive intelligence, market analysis, or any purpose intended to evaluate 9fin’s offering to create a competitive product or service or for the benefit of a competitor or potential competitor of 9fin; or (ix) conceal, misrepresent, or otherwise obscure the Client’s identity or the identity of the Applications when requesting API authorisation.

3.4. 9fin retains all rights not expressly granted to the Client in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement grants the Client any intellectual property or other rights in or to the Data Services, the Trial Data, or any other 9fin Service.

4. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY; API KEY

4.1. Responsibility for use. The Client is solely responsible for any use of the Data Services, whether permitted by or in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Client is responsible for the acts and omissions of its Authorised Users in connection with the Applications and their use of the API. Any act or omission by an Authorised User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if done by the Client will be deemed a breach by the Client. The Client shall inform Authorised Users of the relevant provisions of this Agreement and ensure their compliance.

4.2. API key. The Client must obtain an API Key through the registration process at the Data Services Portal. The Client will not share the API Key with any third party, will keep the API Key and all log-in information secure, and will use the API Key as its sole means of accessing the API. The Client shall be responsible for adding relevant stakeholders to the Data Services Portal.

4.3. Compliance. The Client will comply with this Agreement, all applicable laws, and any written guidelines published by 9fin for the API. The Client may monitor Application use for violations of law or this Agreement (including fraudulent or harmful behaviour) and promptly restrict offending Authorised Users.

4.4. Security; Notice. The Client will protect the Data Services (including copies) from infringement, theft, misuse, or unauthorised access. The Client will promptly notify 9fin of any infringement of intellectual property rights in the API and cooperate with 9fin in any enforcement action.

4.5. Rate limits; throttling. The Client shall not exceed any rate limits set out in the Order Form. 9fin may monitor the Client’s use of the Data Services and may, at its discretion and without liability, throttle, rate-limit, or temporarily restrict access where the Client exceeds, or 9fin reasonably anticipates the Client will exceed, such rate limits.

4.6. No circumvention. The Client shall not, and shall not permit any third party to: (i) use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the Data Services other than the Data Services as documented; (ii) circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with any rate limit, access control, authentication mechanism, or other technical measure implemented by 9fin; or (iii) send more requests to the Data Services than a reasonable user using the Data Services for the Trial Purposes would generate in the same period.

4.7. Trial observation. The Client acknowledges and agrees that 9fin may observe, log, and analyse the Client’s and its Authorised Users’ use of the Data Services during the Term (including without limitation call volumes, query patterns, response times, error rates, and other technical telemetry) for the purposes of evaluating the trial, assessing product fit, improving the Data Services, and verifying compliance with this Agreement.

4.8. Suspension. Without prejudice to its right to terminate this Agreement under clause 12, 9fin may immediately suspend the Client’s and any Authorised User’s access to the Data Services (in whole or in part), without prior notice or liability, where 9fin reasonably believes that: (i) the Client or any Authorised User is in breach of this Agreement; (ii) the Client’s access poses a security or operational risk to the Data Services, 9fin, or any third party; or (iii) such suspension is required by applicable law or by any regulatory or governmental authority. 9fin shall promptly notify the Client of any suspension under this clause and, where reasonably practicable, the basis for such suspension.

4.9. Security incident notification. The Client shall notify 9fin without undue delay (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) of becoming aware of: (i) any actual or suspected loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorised disclosure of the API Key or any Authorised User’s credentials; (ii) any actual or suspected unauthorised access to or use of the Data Services or Trial Data; or (iii) any other security incident affecting the Data Services or Trial Data. The Client shall cooperate fully with 9fin in investigating and responding to any such incident.

5. TRIAL DATA CONTROLS AND DATA PROTECTION

5.1. Permitted environment. The Client will access Trial Data only via the delivery channel(s) designated by 9fin and will not redistribute, publish, or otherwise make Trial Data available outside of the Client’s internal environment or to any party other than an Authorised User. For the avoidance of doubt, the Client may process or use Trial Data within artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistical modelling, or automated analytical tooling solely to the extent that: (i) such use is limited to the Trial Purposes; and (ii) the Client is able to, and does, completely purge all Trial Data and any and all derivations thereof (including without limitation Generated Content) in accordance with the obligations set forth in clause 5.3 upon termination or expiration of this Agreement. The Client shall not use Trial Data in any environment or tooling where such complete purge cannot be guaranteed and technically implemented.

5.2. No building / training. In addition to any other restrictions set forth in this Agreement, and except to the extent expressly permitted by the Permitted Workflow Rights identified in the Order Form, the Client shall not use the Data Services, Data Services Documentation, Trial Data, or any other data accessed via the Data Services or the 9fin Service: (i) to develop, train, fine-tune, validate, evaluate, or improve (directly or indirectly) any large language or other models, artificial intelligence systems, algorithms, products, or services whether by manual or automated means, (ii) to create derived datasets except as strictly necessary to evaluate the Data Services during the Term and subject to the deletion obligations set forth in clause 5.3, (iii) for any purpose other than the Trial Purposes during the Term, or (iv) to reverse-engineer, reconstruct, or replicate 9fin’s underlying dataset or methodology from the Trial Data or any other data accessed via the API or the 9fin Service.

5.3. Deletion; Destruction. On the earlier of (i) expiry or termination of this Agreement, or (ii) 9fin’s written request, the Client will promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) permanently delete and destroy all Trial Data and all copies (including extracts, backups, snapshots, and any derived data containing or created from Trial Data), and certify in writing to 9fin that such deletion and destruction is complete. The Client shall not use any Trial Data, in whole or in part, to bootstrap, seed, supplement, or otherwise contribute to the creation or enrichment of any other dataset, whether proprietary to the Client or sourced from any third party. The Client may retain Trial Data only to the extent required by law, provided it remains subject to this Agreement, is securely isolated, and accessible only to personnel with a need to know for legal compliance purposes.

5.4. Audit rights. On reasonable written notice, 9fin may request that the Client provide written certification of its compliance with this clause 5, or permit 9fin to audit the Client’s use of the Data Services and Trial Data to verify such compliance. The Client shall cooperate fully with any such request. All information obtained by, or requested by, 9fin in the course of an audit shall be treated as Confidential Information in accordance with clause 7.

5.5. Data protection. The data protection provisions of this clause apply solely to Personal Data processed by the parties in connection with the administration and performance of this Agreement, including names, contact details and log-in details of Authorised Users shared by the Client with 9fin for the purposes of accessing the Data Services (together "Relevant Personal Data"). For the purposes of 9fin only, Relevant Personal Data shall also include usage and telemetry data collected by 9fin in connection with the Client’s access to the Data Services. Each party will process the Relevant Personal Data as a separate and independent Controller, and neither party is a processor of the other in respect of the Relevant Personal Data.

(a) Each party shall comply with its obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws in respect of the Relevant Personal Data. 9fin shall only process Relevant Personal Data to the extent necessary for the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and shall not retain Relevant Personal Data for longer than is necessary for those purposes. 9fin shall implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the Relevant Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

(b) Prior to sharing Relevant Personal Data with 9fin, the Client shall ensure that (i) the affected data subjects have been notified that their Personal Data will be shared with 9fin in accordance with this Agreement and 9fin’s Privacy Policy, and (ii) it has a legal basis under applicable Data Protection Laws to share the Relevant Personal Data with 9fin. The Client shall ensure that the Relevant Personal Data is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.

(c) The Client permits 9fin to collect, analyse and use Relevant Personal Data generated by or relating to the Client’s and its Authorised Users’ access to and use of the Data Services (including API call metadata, access logs and IP addresses) in order to authenticate access, ensure compliance with this Agreement and applicable law, maintain and improve the Data Services, and otherwise as permitted by 9fin’s Privacy Policy.

(d) Each party shall notify the other without undue delay upon becoming aware of any actual or suspected breach of security affecting Relevant Personal Data, providing sufficient detail to enable the other party to meet its obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws.

(e) To the extent that either party transfers Relevant Personal Data to the other party in a country or territory outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area that is not subject to an adequacy decision, the parties agree to execute such additional agreements or standard contractual clauses as may be required under applicable Data Protection Laws to legitimise such transfer.

7.4. Required disclosure. No restrictions in this Agreement shall prevent either party from complying with any law, regulation, court order or other legal requirement that compels disclosure of any Confidential Information.
