Rights and liability need a source-by-source review. The goal is to match the proposed license to the permissions your company actually holds, then allocate responsibility clearly if a claim arises.
Legal rights and liability
What to settle before you share anything
Check the promises you already made
Customer agreements and privacy notices may restrict secondary use, disclosure or automated processing. Employee arrangements and contractor terms can raise separate ownership and confidentiality questions.
Separate your content from third-party content
Support threads, project files and shared workspaces often contain material supplied by customers, vendors or other parties. Identify what your company created, what it received and which license terms apply.
Read the risk provisions together
Representations, warranties, indemnities, liability caps and exclusions work as a package. A broad promise about rights can matter much more when paired with uncapped responsibility.
Get advice for your circumstances
A marketplace can help define scope and process, but it cannot determine your legal position from a checklist. Have qualified counsel review the final license and the underlying permissions where needed.
A practical review checklist
Four things to take into the room
- Map dataset sources to customer, employee and vendor terms.
- Flag third-party material and regulated records for specialist review.
- Compare the license’s promises with the rights your company actually holds.
- Review indemnity, liability cap, exclusions and dispute terms as one package.
The Datumi process
Where Datumi fits
Datumi helps define the records, intended use and preparation steps so the legal review has something concrete to assess. That scoping work can surface exclusions before preparation begins.
Final rights, compliance and risk decisions remain with the parties and their advisers. Datumi does not treat an initial qualification result as legal clearance or as approval for a particular use.
“For each source system, can you point to the permission that covers this specific proposed use?”
Explore your company’s data potential
Start with a free data value check. It asks about your systems and approximate record volumes—no files or data exports. It is an initial assessment, not an offer or a guarantee.
