Terms and Conditions

Infutor Data Solutions LLC (“Infutor”) provides Products and Services to you (“Licensee”) subject to the following terms and conditions, unless we have entered into separate data licensing agreements in addition to product schedules or statements of work.

1. Products and Services

Products to be provided to Licensee and pricing for those Products will be detailed in a product schedule governed by this agreement or via Infutor’s websites. Services to be provided to Licensee and pricing for those Services will be detailed in a statement of work (“SOW”) governed by this agreement. Services may include Infutor Data as part of the deliverables. Infutor may modify the sources, content, or format of Data it delivers to Licensee.

2. Definitions

Data-related Definitions “Data” means the information provided by either party under this agreement that relates to the identity or characteristics of individual entities. “Infutor Data” means the Data provided to Licensee by Infutor. “Data Element” means an individual piece of information included in the Data, such as a name, a phone number, or a characteristic score. “Record” means the set of all Data Elements related to a single entity. For example, a Record may contain Data Elements related to an individual person such as phone number, address, email, and the VIN of their automobile. “Product” means the Infutor Data and the processes for delivering that Data to Licensee. “Infutor File” means a collection of Data in a set format provided by Infutor to Licensee and stored in a location or locations under Licensee’s control.

“Data Enhancement” means performing operations on Data in order to improve the accuracy or relevance of the Data. Enhancement operations include:

  1. Append or Reverse Append: adding new Data Elements to a Record.
  2. Filter: generating a set of Records based on the values of Data Elements in each Record.
  3. Enhance: changing the value of existing Data Elements.
“List” means the set of Data generated from a Filter operation. “Input” means a query from Licensee to Infutor that contains the parameters of a particular Data Enhancement to be performed. “Match” means a set of Data Elements provided to Licensee as a result of an Input. “End User” means an entity that uses Infutor Data for its own internal purposes and does not provide the Infutor Data to one or more third parties who are not Data Service Providers. “Reseller” means an entity that provides Infutor Data to one or more third parties who are not Data Service Providers. “Data Service Provider” means an entity that provides Data Enhancement on behalf of Licensee solely for that Licensee’s benefit. “Batch” means any Data transfer or delivery method in which the Data is transferred from one party to the other in bulk, generally via FTP or SFTP. “API” means a Data transfer or delivery method based on individual queries to Infutor’s web application program interface. “PII” means Data that meets the definition of PII in Section 2.1 of NIST Special Publication 800-122. The definition is reproduced here for convenience: “PII is any information about an individual maintained by an agency, including (1) any information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual‘s identity, such as name, social security number, date and place of birth, mother‘s maiden name, or biometric records; and (2) any other information that is linked or linkable to an individual, such as medical, educational, financial, and employment information.”

3. Data Uses and Limitations

Infutor will grant a license to the Products and Infutor Data in product schedules and SOWs governed by this agreement, or via Infutor’s website product descriptions. The product schedule, SOW, or website product description will specify what uses Licensee is allowed with respect to the Products and Infutor Data. The following restrictions apply to Licensee’s use of the Products: The parties shall not transmit batch data to each other except via Infutor’s FTP, SFTP, or Amazon S3. The parties shall transmit files containing PHI, PII, or other protected data only via SFTP or Amazon S3. Such files must be encrypted using public key encryption and each party shall provide their public key to the other party upon request. Licensee shall not provide Product access or Infutor Data to any third party other than a Data Service Provider, unless explicitly allowed in the relevant product schedule, SOW, or website product description. If Licensee is allowed to provide Products to a third party, Licensee shall include terms substantially similar to those in the End User Flowdown Terms section in their agreement with the third party. If Licensee utilizes a Data Service Provider, Licensee shall include terms substantially similar to those in the Data Service Provider Flowdown Terms section in their agreement with the Data Service Provider.
