Courthouse USA, LLC
Data Use Agreement
Courthouse USA, LLC (“CUSA”) and Data Provider wish to provide public and private sector users (“Data Users”) with
property-related data that is internet-accessible, current, authoritative and in a common open format for Data Users to
access using mobile applications and other business process solutions.
Roles
Data Provider’s Role is to:
1. provide CUSA with public record property data, in tabular and spatial form, at the same time the data is made
available by Data Provider to the public; and
2. promote the development and use of business process solutions that use the data by providing, for example, a
direct link from the Data Provider’s website to the
home page.
CUSA’s role is to:
1. accept from Data Providers in electronic form property-related data “as-is”, format the data to comply with the
Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization open format standard (currently MISMO v.3 XML), map
the data to the CUSA property data standard, and store the data so that Data Users can access the data over the
internet using applications available from CUSA, Data Provider, or third parties; and
2. offer to Data Provider revenue or other incentives secured by CUSA from sources, such as: a) Data Users who
access the data directly from CUSA or who indirectly access the data through applications available from third
parties (regardless of whether the access is for the Data User’s own account or for the account of others); and b)
others who may wish to market goods and services to Data Users.
Term and Termination. This agreement is effective until terminated. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon
written notice to the other.
Costs, Compensation and Payments. There is no charge by CUSA to Data Provider for making data available to CUSA.
Each party shall bear its own costs related to collecting, transmitting, formatting, storing, or otherwise handling the data.
CUSA and Data Provider acknowledge that any revenue or incentives offered by third parties to CUSA and by CUSA to
Data Provider will depend upon the supply and demand for available data on the CUSA system and the terms under which
CUSA can secure revenue and incentives from third parties. Neither CUSA nor Data Provider represent or guarantee to
the other that such incentives or revenues will be available. The details of any revenue or incentive programs between
Data Provider and CUSA will be customized for Data User and described in a separate addendum to this agreement.
Ownership of Data. Data Provider grants CUSA a non-exclusive, transferable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license
to use, market and sell all data received from Data Provider. CUSA acknowledges that Data Provider retains Data
Provider’s rights to any data it provides to CUSA. Data Provider represents and warrants to CUSA that Data Provider has
sufficient rights and authority to grant CUSA rights in the data as provided in this agreement.
Examination of Records and Reports. Within sixty (60) days from Data Provider’s written request, CUSA shall provide
to Data Provider a written statement of how Data Provider’s data was used during the previous year. CUSA shall include
in the statement information regarding any incentives offered or revenue earned directly from data submitted by Data
Provider or indirectly from applications exclusively devoted to the data submitted by Data Provider. The report shall
contain the name of the Data User or other person who paid CUSA for use of the data, a description of the data used, and
the amount, if any, due to Data Provider with respect to the data and the method for calculating such amount.
Governing Law. The laws of the State of Missouri shall govern this Agreement.
