DATA ACCESS AGREEMENT These terms and conditions govern access to the managed access datasets (details of which are set out in Appendix I) to which the Researcher has requested access. The Researcher agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions. Definitions Researcher/Recipient: The individuals that have been granted access to the Data, as named in Appendix II.

If at any time the Researcher is no longer compliant with the conditions listed below, the Researcher undertakes to destroy all Data in the Researcher’s possession or under the Researcher’s control. 1. Data shall only be used for the purpose of undertaking bona fide research relating to human evolution, the histories of one or more populations and genetic history which it is intended to publish in a reputable peer reviewed journal. 2. Data shall only be viewed and analysed by the Researcher and Researcher’s bona fide collaborators engaged in research undertaken in accordance with (1) above. 3. No attempt shall be made to connect Data with a Personal Identifier not included in the Data. 4. Data shall not be accessed or analysed for commercial purposes. 5. Data shall not be used to create or protect patent or other intellectual property right. 6.

The Researcher agrees to follow the Publication Policy in Appendix II, i.e. to properly cite the paper where these data were first reported. 8. The Researcher will notify Garrett Hellenthal as soon as it becomes aware of a breach of the terms or conditions of this agreement. 9. The Data Producers or any one thereof may terminate or if they so decide amend this agreement by written notice to the Researcher if in the reasonable opinion of the Data Producers the Researcher is not acting or intends not to act in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or for any reason it is not appropriate to analyse part or all of the data. If this agreement terminates for any reason, the Researcher will be required to destroy any Data held, including copies and backup copies.

The Researcher accepts that it may be necessary for the Data Producers or any one thereof to alter the terms of this agreement from time to time. In the event that changes are required, the Data Producers or their appointed agent will contact the Researcher to inform it of the changes and the Researcher may elect to accept the changes or terminate the agreement. 11. If requested, the Researcher will allow data security and management documentation to be inspected to verify that it is complying with the terms of this agreement.
