AI Training & Data License Agreements
Training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and retrieval rights, with clear limits on datasets, models, and downstream access.
AI Training & Data License Agreements
Define what the buyer receives and what it can do with it. We draft and negotiate licenses for training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and retrieval, with boundaries around covered datasets, permitted models, affiliates, contractors, and downstream access.
We address ownership of the underlying data, annotations, and derived datasets, alongside payment, reporting, and restrictions on further distribution. The agreement should distinguish access to your data from rights to reproduce, transform, and use it in commercial models.
At termination, we separate source-data retention, future training, and continued use of models already trained. Those rights should be negotiated expressly rather than left to a general deletion clause.
