2. Grant of Licence

2.1 Upon payment of the Fees in accordance with the terms of this Licence, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Enhanced Data for the term set out in the Order in accordance with the licence below. You are able to interact with our Enhanced Data, acquire a licence for our Enhanced Data or use your own tool.

2.2 Other than as set out below, all rights to use Enhanced Data are reserved.

2.3 You are entitled to, for the duration of this Licence:

a. Consume Enhanced Data from a single Server for the sole purpose of servicing requests to match attributes of devices in real-time (“the Consumption Licence”) and maintain a single copy of Enhanced Data on a single Server for that purpose;

b. Consume Enhanced Data to match, identify, and analyse historical weblogs containing device information written by that same Server;

c. Consume Enhanced Data for your own internal business purposes;

d. create aggregate reports to match, identify, and analyse devices, provided that you do not authorise, facilitate, otherwise make available Enhanced Data to any third party to access or Consume directly or indirectly in any form.

2.4 You are entitled to authorise a single Developer to Consume Enhanced Data to develop, test, and maintain Applications which will Consume Enhanced Data (“Development Licence”). The first Developer to use the Development Licence on any one day is deemed to have been allocated the Development Licence for that entire day.

2.5 Where you are using Enhanced Data in a production environment which is specifically designed to flexibly adapt under high load (sometimes referred to as a “scalable” or “elastic computing” hosted environment), you are entitled to further Consumption Licences for a total accumulated period of 24 hours per single calendar month to accommodate that temporary demand.

2.6 You may substitute the Server referred to in subclause 2.3(a) (“the Main Server”) with a failover server which forms part of your production infrastructure in the event of a catastrophic failure of the Main Server for so long as the Main Server remains inoperative and not Consuming Enhanced Data.

2.7 You may keep a reasonable number of copies of Enhanced Data for backup purposes. A copy of the Enhanced Data which either (1) does not form part of a larger backup regime, system or programme, or (2) is not static and changes over time, is not a backup copy for the purposes of this Licence.

2.8 For clarity:

a. Use of the Development Licence for any purpose other than developing, testing or maintaining Applications requires a further Data Licence;

b. you are not entitled to use Enhanced Data to provide any product or service which competes or may compete with any of our services; and

c. you are not entitled to distribute Enhanced Data to third parties or otherwise place third parties in a position whereby they may Consume Enhanced Data directly or indirectly, other than by way of sublicence in accordance with clause 3.

2.10 We will make updates to Enhanced Data available to you at the frequency set out in the Order.

2.11 You remain responsible for ensuring that Customers use the Enhanced Data strictly in accordance with the terms of this Licence.
