Terms & Conditions for Researchers, Students & Academics

Terms & Conditions -

Researcher acknowledges that pursuant to this Agreement, they obtain only the right to use the data and that no right, title, or interest in or to any copyrights, trademarks, or other proprietary rights relating to the data is transferred or licensed from Loveland Technologies to the Researcher.

Researcher shall not remove, alter, cover, or obfuscate any acknowledgements, copyright notice, trademark, or other proprietary rights notice placed by Loveland on the data or any portion thereof. Researcher shall comply with directions submitted by Loveland from time to time regarding the form and placement of proprietary rights notices on the product, or any portion thereof.

Researcher will credit LOVELAND Technologies as a Data Source in any written work, private or published.

Loveland grants a nonexclusive, nontransferable (except as permitted below) license to Researcher to use the data, a nationwide cadastre or portion thereof, by Researcher's colleagues and peers for any non-commercial purpose so long as Researcher does not offer a website, product, or service that competes with LOVELAND's product, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. As such, Researcher will not resell or provide bulk downloads of the parcel data and associated assessment information to third parties nor display associated assessment information in a website accessible to the public nor third parties, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

For avoidance of doubt, in the context of the Researcher's work, Researcher may:

Use the data to label other geometries, such as building shapes obtained or produced by Researcher to associate address and other attributes to such geometries.

Load the data and associated attributes into databases or search servers such as postgresql, solr, elasticsearch, and others for use in internal tools that may display the data, as long as the service is secured by a strong password and/or other industry-standard controls.

Use the data for geocoding, reverse geocoding, and location context, including scenarios wherein the data is distributed as encoded geo-sharded tiles that may be accessed and cached on mobile devices.

Use the data as features in machine learning models that Researcher uses to associate coordinates with a specific location.

Use the data for context and analysis of areas or coordinates, such as whether a neighborhood is residential, buildings are multi-story, home value is low or high, and similar analyses.

Render high resolution parcel polygons on maps viewable by others, but in a manner that reasonably prevents others from obtaining a copy of a substantial portion of the parcel geometries.

 

Termination

Upon completion or discontinuation of use of the data, the Researcher will promptly either cease all use of the data and delete the data entirely.
