Data licensing is important because:

• It tells users and re-users exactly what they can do with your data and meta data
• It encourages the use and re-use of your data and meta data the way you want them to be used and reused
• It creates visibility of your efforts downstream

As geographic data is difficult to protect through copyright alone, licensing is required.

• The rise of subscription business models dependent on multiple subscribers despite technical ability to distribute perfect and inexpensive copies.
• Risk management – perfecting disclaimers through licensing.
• The rise of shared cost and data maintenance partnerships.

Data decay is an inevitable process. With Lake B2B Data every record is authenticated (100%). If you find any inaccurate data due to likely data decay, send those records to us back within 60 days of receipt with an explanation of what part of the data requires enhancement (phone number, alternate emails or physical address, etc.), and we will work it out for you.

Any list you purchase from us will have been verified in the last 24 hours. We do data verifications every 90 days, but our most rigorous verification processes are done after the data is purchased. We use many of the standard industry verification processes and 3rd party email verification systems. Combining 3rd party verification with our in-house processes allows us to provide the cleanest data possible.

We offer an unlimited use license allowing your company to use this data as many times as you want, however you want, for as long as you want. If you plan to resell or share out data with a 3rd party in any way please ask for special permission.

Once you are ready to purchase a specific list we will send you a proposal with our guarantee, licensing and all of our terms in writing. To purchase the list all you need to do is sign and return our proposal along with the payment. For payment you can fill out the credit card authorization form at the end of the proposal or mail a check. Let us know if you need a separate invoice. We can also email you a proposal that you can sign and fill out digitally without any need to print, scan, etc.

We begin processing the data for you as soon as we have received a signed proposal and payment. Once the data is ready, we will email you with a link where you can download the list.

Once your list is ready our data team will email you with a link for downloading the data as an excel file. If you need the data delivered in any specific format let us know and we can accommodate your requirement.
