Direct to a buyer

Confirm who acquires the licence, which data it wants and how acceptance and payment work.

Through a marketplace

Separate a listing from a purchase. Check the fee, permitted uses and the actual counterparty.

With a representative

Review the mandate, incentives, exclusivity and authority to negotiate on your behalf.

These are selected published programmes, not confirmed offers for your collection. A mention does not establish affiliation or endorsement. Check current terms before sharing data.

The short answers

Who actually pays?

The contracting licensee, marketplace or intermediary may differ from the AI developer using the data. Verify the entity responsible for payment in the offer.

What data can qualify?

Programmes describe different records, formats and rights requirements. These filters identify research leads from published descriptions; they do not establish eligibility.

How much will a buyer pay?

A published range is an indication from its provider, not a quote. Request the scope, acceptance rules, timing, deductions and rights with any amount.
