A Data Sharing & Data License Agreement defines rights and restrictions for exchanging or licensing data assets. This playbook examines usage limitations, confidentiality, and indemnification for data misuse.
Why This Matters: Well-structured SLAs ensure accountability, minimize operational disruptions, and provide predefined remedies to limit business impact from service issues.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Company A:
Ensure that the SLA includes clear and measurable performance metrics. Negotiate for service credits and termination rights in case of repeated failures.
If you're the Company B:
Propose realistic performance metrics that align with your capabilities. Offer reasonable remedies to maintain a strong client relationship.
