Data Subject: means a person, who has been informed of the purpose for which the Data is held and has given his/her informed consent thereto.

You agree to use the Data only for the advancement of medical research, according to the consent obtained from sample donors. 2. You agree not to use the Data or any part thereof for the creation of products for sale or for any commercial purpose. 3. You agree to preserve, at all times, the confidentiality of information and Data pertaining to Data Subjects. In particular, You undertake not to use, or attempt to use the Data to compromise or otherwise infringe the confidentiality of information on Data Subjects and their right to privacy. 4. You agree not to attempt to link the data provided under this agreement to other information or archive data available for the data sets provided, even if access to that data has been formally granted to you, or it is freely available without restriction, without specific permission being sought from the relevant access committees. 5. You agree not to transfer or disclose the Data, in whole or part, or any identifiable material derived from the Data, to others, except as necessary for data/safety monitoring or programme management. Should You wish to share the Data with a collaborator outwith the same Institution, the third party must make a separate application for access to the Data. 6. You agree to use the data for the approved purpose and project described in your application; use of the data for a new purpose or project will require a new application and approval. 7. In the exceptional circumstance that we establish a Data access account using a non-institutional email address, You will inform the EGA if you move or change User Institution. 8. You accept that Data will be reissued from time to time, with suitable versioning. If the reissue is at the request of sample donors and/or other ethical scrutiny, You will destroy earlier versions of the Data. 9. You agree to acknowledge in any work based in whole or part on the Data, the published paper from which the Data derives, the version of the data, the role of the Data provider (if any), the relevant primary collectors and their funders. 10. You accept that the original data creators, depositors or copyright holders, or the funders of the Data or any part of the Data supplied: a) bear no legal responsibility for the accuracy or comprehensiveness of the Data; and b) accept no liability for indirect, consequential, or incidental, damages or losses arising from use of the Data, or from the unavailability of, or break in access to, the Data for whatever reason. 11. You understand and acknowledge that the Data is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights, and that duplication, except as reasonably required to carry out Your research with the Data, or sale of all or part of the Data on any media is not permitted. 12. You recognise that nothing in this agreement shall operate to transfer to the User Institution any intellectual property rights relating to the Data. The User Institution has the right to develop intellectual property based on comparisons with their own data. 13. You accept that this agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this agreement by You and You will be required to destroy any Data held. 14. You accept that it may be necessary for the Data provider, or their appointed agents to alter the terms of this agreement from time to time in order to address new concerns. In this event, You will be contacted and informed of any changes and Your continued use of the Data shall be dependent on all parties entering into a new version of the Agreement. 15. You agree that you will submit a report to the Data Access Committee, if requested, on completion of the agreed purpose. The Data Access Committee agrees to treat the report and all information, data, results, and conclusions contained within such report as confidential information belonging to the User Institution. 16.

This agreement shall be construed, interpreted and governed by the laws of England and Wales and shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
