ICIS ClarityTM Acceptable Use Policy
For your quick reference, we have outlined below the typical rights and restrictions that apply to most users of ICIS ClarityTM. You should check with your data subscription manager if you want more detail on what you can do with ICIS ClarityTM and ICIS data.
These rights are only available to ICIS customers who have a contract with ICIS.
Please contact ICIS at support@icis.com if you are not currently a customer and wish to use ICIS data.
| What you can do | What you should not do |
|---|---|
| You usually have the following rights as an authorised user of ICIS ClarityTM: Accessing and using the product. You can use ICIS ClarityTM for the specific tasks for which your organisation provides you with a license to ICIS ClarityTM and which they have agreed with ICIS. For example, you may only be permitted to use ICIS ClarityTM for invoicing and settlement, and not for more general use. The tasks for which you may use ICIS data are the “Use Case”; you are only allowed to use ICIS ClarityTM and data for the Use Case. Limited sharing with other authorised users. You can only share data with other people in your organisation who are licensed users of the same product and same content set. You cannot share information with someone who is not licensed for the same data, or who has an ICIS license for different data. Limited storage. You can use and store small amounts of ICIS data in normal office applications like Microsoft Excel, Word or PowerPoint (but not if those applications have generative AI features enabled, or if they share ICIS data with the software supplier). You may not create an archive of ICIS data over time, or store large volumes of ICIS data. Limited printing. You may print small amounts of ICIS data for your own work purposes within the Use Case. You cannot, for instance, include data in a company-wide newsletter, customer update, or in marketing materials. Deletion. ICIS ClarityTM is a subscription service, and your organisation licenses ICIS data rather than owning it. When your subscription ends, you must delete ICIS data. | Usually, an ICIS license provides that you cannot do the following: Sharing outside of your organisation. You may not share ICIS data with third parties, or publish ICIS data. This includes your organisation’s customers or suppliers, or on a company website. This also means you may not put ICIS data into any third-party tool (including any generative AI tool), internal or external software, or data analytics tool. Creating a data repository. You may not store large amounts of data on your own computer or in storage within your organisation. You may not create a database or your own repository. Sharing with non-users. You may not share data with others within your organisation who do not have a license for that same content. Scraping or automating. You may not scrape data from ICIS ClarityTM or use other automated tools to take data out of ICIS ClarityTM. Sharing passwords or other product misuse. As with any password-protected service, you should not share passwords, or allow others to use your login. You should not use ICIS ClarityTM for any harmful or illegal purpose or upload harmful content to ICIS ClarityTM. You should not use ICIS data for personal purposes outside of your role with your organisation. Personal data. Other than your login details, you should not put information into any ICIS product which relates to, or could identify, a person. |
| Your organisation’s arrangement with ICIS may give you different or additional rights, so please check with your data subscription manager if you are not sure what rights you have. | If you need the right to do something that is not permitted above, we can usually arrange for additional rights to be included in your organisation’s license. Your data manager should contact your ICIS account manager to add rights to your license. |
This Acceptable Use Policy is meant to help guide you in your day-to-day use of ICIS ClarityTM. It is not a contract, and does not necessarily reflect the contract between your organisation and ICIS. The contract between your organisation and ICIS prevails if there is any conflict between the contract and this Acceptable Use Policy.
