License terms
The company data license agreement, in plain English
The company data license agreement is signed with the data partner, not with Vetrix, and the company keeps ownership of its records. You give a right to use a copy with personal details removed, for AI research, worldwide, permanently, and only them. You keep full use in your business. You see the agreement before you sign.

What you give
Personal details are removed before anything leaves your company. We call that copy de-identified. The copy is used only for AI research, to train and test AI that helps people do their jobs. It is never for marketing, and it is never sold as contact lists.
A country limit, an end date, and a second licensee are each worth raising with your lawyer before you sign.

What you keep
The records stay yours for the work of the business. Licensing a copy does not hand the title to the data partner.
If the company is later sold, ask your lawyer what happens to the license. That is the last question on the list below.
What you agree
The open point is which records that promise covers. Ask your lawyer how the agreement defines "the same records." That is question 3 on the list below.
What you sign
There are two documents. Step 4 is the NDA, company to company with the data partner. Step 6 is the licensing agreement, and your lawyer should read it before you sign.
We tell you the data partner's name before you sign the NDA, and again before the license. A US-based AI data company is the other party. We do not sign either document.
What the words mean
Three limits sit in what you give. Read each one against the agreement with your lawyer.
- Worldwide
- The use is not confined to one country. If you need a country limit, ask your lawyer to look for one in the agreement. Governing law and the place of a dispute are question 7 on the list below.
- Permanently
- The use has no end date in these terms. Withdrawal after you sign depends on the agreement. Ask your lawyer to read question 4 before you sign.
- Only them
- There is one licensee. Whether a later buyer of your company still counts as that licensee is a question for your lawyer, and it is the last question on the list.
Payment, and Vetrix's role
Your cost is $0 at every stage. The data partner pays Vetrix's fee, not you. If no agreement is signed, nobody pays anything.
Payment is in US dollars. The US ceiling is up to $150,000 (US pricing, 250+ staff at peak).

Selling vs licensing company data sets a sale next to a license.
After you sign
Withdrawal after signing depends on the agreement. Ask your lawyer to check two clauses before you sign: what it says about withdrawing, and what it says about records already used to train a model. We do not promise a withdrawal right, and we do not promise that anything already trained is deleted.

Questions to take to your lawyer
Take this list to your lawyer. The agreement you see before you sign is the document that answers them.
- What does the agreement say about withdrawing after signature?
- What does it say about records that have already been used to train a model?
- How does it define "the same records"?
- Does it state a term of years, or only the word "permanently"?
- Which warranties, if any, does it ask the company to give?
- Is there an indemnity, and is there a cap on liability?
- Which law governs, and where would a dispute be heard?
- What happens to the license if the company is later sold?
For a wider list you can put to any buyer, including us, read the questions to ask before selling company data.

Questions about the license
Do we keep ownership of our records if we license them?
Yes. Title to the records stays with your company, and you keep using them in the business. What you grant is permission to use a de-identified copy for AI research. It is not a transfer of the business. The agreement you are shown before you sign is where that line is written out. Ask your lawyer to confirm the agreement still says you keep title.
Does "only them" mean we cannot license the same records again?
Yes. Those records are not licensed to a second company. You still work in your own systems. Your lawyer should read how the agreement defines "the same records." That definition is question 3 on the list above. Signing does not pull the records out of the business.
Can we withdraw after we sign?
Withdrawal after signing depends on the agreement. The two clauses to read with your lawyer are the first two questions on the list above. We do not promise a withdrawal right. We also do not promise that a model already trained on the records is deleted. You can still stop at the enquiry, during the system check, or after the NDA. Those earlier choices are not a signed license.
Who is the licensing agreement with?
The data partner, not Vetrix. Vetrix introduces the company and stays through the process, and Vetrix is not the name on the signature page. The NDA and the licensing agreement are separate documents, both with that partner. We tell you the data partner's name before you sign the NDA. The partner is a US-based AI data company.
When do we see the payment terms?
Before you sign. The licensing agreement states the payment terms, and you read that document first. Nothing is due from your company for the enquiry, the system check, or the NDA. Your cost is $0. The data partner pays our fee. The US ceiling is up to $150,000 (US pricing, 250+ staff at peak). The estimate page shows the band for your company.
