Other databases and products
This Agreement does not apply to your use of any databases or products offered by MaxMind other than the GeoLite Databases and GeoLite Data therein. If you use other MaxMind databases or products, additional terms and conditions shall apply to your use of such databases and products.
Limited grant of rights
- This license grants you a nonexclusive, non transferable, limited license, to distribute an unlimited number of copies of the Named MaxMind Products within one Licensee Product, in return for an annual fee. For an additional annual fee, you may distribute an unlimited number of copies of the Named MaxMind Products within more than one Licensee Product.
- You have the right to display (disclosure) the GeoLite Data via the Licensee Product to your end users provided that you do not use or encourage others to use the GeoLite Data for the purpose of identifying or locating a specific household, individual, or street address.
- If you purchase GeoLite2 City Database, you may also use the GeoLite2 ASN Database at no additional cost.

- MaxMind licenses the Named MaxMind Products to you on an "as is" basis, without warranty of any kind.
-
You shall ensure that each End User who receives Named MaxMind
Products within a Reseller Product have agreed to an End User
License Agreement ("EULA") and the EULA must contain in substance
the following:
- End User is granted only a personal, nontransferable, and nonexclusive right to use the GeoLite Database only for its internal purposes.
- No representations or warranties from MaxMind or from Licensee is made to the End User in connection with the GeoLite Databases.
- MaxMind shall not be liable to the End User for any indirect, consequential, incidental or special damages arising out of the use or license of the GeoLite Databases, regardless of the theory of liability (including negligence and strict liability).
Accuracy expectation: No use of the GeoLite Data for identifying specific households or individuals
Due to the nature of geolocation technology and other factors beyond its control, MaxMind cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy of the GeoLite Data. The GeoLite Databases contain only the geographic data available and the availability of such data is not consistent for all regions. Furthermore, none of the GeoLite Data reliably identifies any geographic level or division more precise than the postal code associated with an IP address. Accordingly, it is imperative that you and your end users not rely on the GeoLite Data to identify a specific household, individual, or street address. You acknowledge the foregoing limitation of the GeoLite Data and agree that you will not use or encourage others to use the GeoLite Data for the purpose of identifying or locating a specific household, individual, or street address.
Additional restrictions
- Disclosure of GeoLite Database and GeoLite Data. Except as explicitly permitted by this Agreement, you will not disclose the GeoLite Databases or GeoLite Data to any third party or after notifying MaxMind of the anticipated disclosure and obtaining MaxMind's prior written consent to the disclosure. To the extent you disclose the GeoLite Databases or GeoLite Data to a third party as permitted by this Agreement, you will impose upon the third party the same or substantially similar contractual duties imposed on you and the rights provided to MaxMind as in this Agreement, including those in LIMITED GRANT OF RIGHTS, ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS, and PERSONAL DATA. You are responsible for the acts or omissions of any third parties with which you share the GeoLite Databases or GeoLite Data.
- Security of GeoLite Database and GeoLite Data. You will maintain reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures for the protection of the security, confidentiality, and integrity of the GeoLite Databases and GeoLite Data (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, such data). In the event you discover a data incident involving the GeoLite Databases or GeoLite Data, you shall promptly notify MaxMind and fully cooperate with MaxMind, at your own expense, in remediating the incident.
- Destructions of GeoLite Database and GeoLite Data. From time to time, MaxMind will release an updated version of the GeoLite Databases, and you agree to promptly use the updated version of the GeoLite Databases. You shall cease use of and destroy (i) any old versions of the GeoLite Databases and GeoLite Data within thirty (30) days following the release of the updated GeoLite Databases; and (ii) all GeoLite Databases and GeoLite Data immediately upon termination of the license under this Agreement. Upon request, you shall provide MaxMind with written confirmation of such destruction.
Confidential Information
- "Confidential Information" includes all confidential and proprietary information or material disclosed by you or MaxMind (the "Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party") from which the Disclosing Party derives actual or potential economic value, and which is clearly marked or verbally identified at the time of disclosure as "Confidential" or is disclosed or learned under circumstances that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that the information was confidential. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of the Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party's lawful possession before being disclosed to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by any other third party not bound by any confidentiality obligation with respect to such information; or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party.
- The parties acknowledge that each party may have access to Confidential Information of the other party. Each party shall use reasonable care to protect the Confidential Information of the other party. In that regard, each party shall restrict access to Confidential Information to employees, contractors, and third parties as is reasonably required to exercise its rights and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and only if such persons are subject to nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective as those set forth in this Agreement. Neither party shall, without prior written approval of the other party, use for such party's own benefit, publish, copy, or otherwise disclose to others, or permit the use by others for their benefit or to the detriment of the Disclosing Party, any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if required to do so under applicable law, rule or order, provided that the Receiving Party discloses no more Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party than is reasonably necessary in order to respond to the required disclosure, and provided further that where reasonably practicable and to the extent legally permissible, you will provide MaxMind with prior written notice of any required disclosure so that MaxMind may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.
Personal data
The parties hereby agree to and incorporate by reference the DPA, which shall apply to the extent the parties process any Personal Information (as defined in the DPA) in connection with your use of the Services. The provisions of the DPA relating to the processing of Personal Information (as defined in the DPA) shall control over any conflicting provisions elsewhere in this Agreement. For the removal of doubt, the DPA is subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement.
