Document background
The Database License Agreement is essential for organizations seeking to formalize the terms of database access and usage under Swiss law. This document is particularly relevant when a database provider (licensor) grants access to their proprietary database to another party (licensee) for specific purposes. It addresses critical aspects such as data protection compliance under Swiss regulations, technical specifications, usage limitations, and service level commitments. The agreement is commonly used in scenarios involving commercial databases, research datasets, or proprietary information systems, and must comply with Swiss federal laws regarding data protection, intellectual property, and electronic commerce. It's particularly important when the database contains sensitive information, requires specific usage controls, or involves significant commercial value.
