Questions to ask before you sign

• Who signs the agreement with us, and in which state is that company registered?
• When exactly are we paid, and what has to happen first?
• Is the license exclusive? For how long, and for which uses?
• Who de-identifies the records, where, and can we review a sample of the result?
• What happens to the copy when the license ends?
