Data Materials Clause Samples

The Data & Materials clause defines the rights and responsibilities of the parties regarding the use, ownership, and sharing of data and materials generated or provided under the agreement. Typically, it specifies who retains ownership of original data or materials, outlines any permitted uses by each party, and may address requirements for returning or destroying materials at the end of the relationship. This clause ensures clarity over intellectual property and physical assets, helping to prevent disputes about access, usage rights, or proprietary information.
