The Legal Risk Score of a Data Sharing Agreement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- There is a risk associated with the management of data breaches, as handling them improperly could lead to significant legal and financial repercussions.
- The agreement limits data usage strictly to the purposes outlined, which might restrict flexibility in utilizing the data for unforeseen but potentially beneficial uses.
- The document specifies that all intellectual property created during the course of the agreement will be governed by a separate agreement, which could lead to uncertainties or conflicts regarding ownership rights if not properly managed.
