Name the scope.

Exclusivity can apply to a defined package, use, or buyer category. Avoid language that reaches every future record or every possible use unless that is the considered intent of both parties.

Name the end date.

DataQuire’s position is that exclusivity is never perpetual. Twenty-four months is a discussion point, not a promised default. The exact period and renewal mechanics belong in the final agreement.

Consider a planned exit.

A data license can affect what a future business buyer may do with the record. Discuss assignment, change of control, and any remaining exclusive period with counsel before agreeing.
