Specific Restrictions for AI/ML License Holders
Even with AI/ML licensing, the following activities constitute material breach:
- No Public Model Release: You may not use the data to train, fine-tune, or improve large language models (LLMs), foundation models, or machine learning systems that are made available to third parties via API, open-source weights, or public-facing applications.
- No Competing Products: You may not use the data to create, enhance, or validate competing business intelligence databases, contact lists, or data marketplace products, whether distributed via AI-generated content or traditional formats.
- No Model Distillation: You may not use AI systems to extract, replicate, or synthesize the dataset in a form that substitutes for purchasing the original data from MediumAxis.
- No Redistribution of Training Sets: You may not publish, share, or sublicense the data (in whole or in relevant subsets) as “training data” for third-party AI development.
- Anonymization Requirement: All data used for ML training must be processed to remove or pseudonymize personal identifiers (names, direct email addresses, phone numbers) in compliance with GDPR Article 5(1)(b) and CCPA purpose limitation principles. Model training must utilize hashed IDs or business identifiers only.
- Attribution: Internal documentation must credit MediumAxis as the data source for compliance and audit trails.
Compliance & Audit Rights
Data Protection: Customer warrants that any AI/ML use will comply with applicable data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, etc.), including obtaining any necessary legal bases for automated processing of personal data.
Audit Rights: MediumAxis retains the right to audit Customer’s usage of the data for AI/ML purposes upon 30 days’ written notice to verify compliance with these restrictions. Customer agrees to maintain records of model training data sources and model deployment scopes for 24 months post-license expiration.
Violation Remedies: Unauthorized AI/ML use discovered through audit or other means will result in immediate license termination, forfeiture of fees, and liquidated damages equal to three (3) times the original purchase price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the data to train my company’s internal sales bot or CRM AI?
A: Yes, with an AI/ML License. This qualifies as internal automation provided the model is not exposed to external users or offered as a service to clients.

Upgrading Your License
To add AI/ML rights to an existing purchase or inquire about Enterprise licensing for customer-facing AI:
Please include:
- Dataset(s) you wish to upgrade
- Intended AI use case (internal automation vs. customer-facing feature)
- Estimated model deployment scope (internal users only vs. external API)
Technical Compliance Note
All datasets designated as “AI/ML Ready” undergo pre-processing to flag high-sensitivity personal data fields. We recommend implementing differential privacy techniques or k-anonymity standards when using business contact data for ML training to ensure outputs cannot be reverse-engineered to identify specific data subjects.
