The "Commercial Data Hub Pilot Program" outlines the terms in an addendum for the licensing agreement between the government and a contractor responding to RFP No. 1331L524R13OS0005. The addendum modifies the contractor's standard license terms to comply with U.S. federal laws and procurement regulations. Key amendments include disavowal of "click through" agreements, exemption of the government from indemnification, audits, penalties for late payment, and third-party licensing claims. Additionally, the addendum asserts that provisions violating federal laws, such as the Anti-Deficiency Act, are invalid, and that the government maintains flexibility in utilizing data acquired under this contract. Overall, this document establishes clear boundaries and protections for the government in its contractual relationship, ensuring that federal laws and the terms set forth in the RFP take precedence over the contractor's standard commercial terms.

The License Agreement Addendum outlines specific modifications to the Contractor's standard license terms for the Commercial Data Hub Pilot Program, ensuring compliance with federal procurement law and the terms of the associated Request for Proposal (RFP). Key revisions include the revocation of indemnification obligations, penalties for late payments, and unilateral termination rights concerning the Government, as well as the establishment of federal law as governing authority. The addendum supersedes any conflicting terms in the original Commercial License while affirming the continued validity of the remainder of the license.
