(2) The Applicant has the right to use the collected data for their own research purposes, but TSS retains ownership of the data at all times. (3) The requested data can be used exclusively for the purpose of scientific research within the scope of the research project as described in the application. Processing and/or usage for commercial or other economic purposes are expressly prohibited. (4) The Applicant agrees that all personal data provided by him/her for the purpose of fulfilling the contract will be saved by TSS. (5) The scientific use files may not be transferred to any third party other than the Applicant, unless they are being used for conducting student theses or a course.

The Applicant is also required to cite the correct version of the scientific use files used for all of these works. Appropriate guidelines for data citation and data documentation can be found on the TSS website. (2) The scientific use files are not to be made available in the context of “enhanced publications” (i.e. e-publications with links to data, models, algorithms, etc.); the only exception is with expressed written consent from TSS. § 7 Deletion of data The Applicant is obligated to ensure that the scientific use files made available, specifically including all backup copies, backups, modified copies, extract files and help files, are deleted from all data processing medium and storage at the time the processing and usage rights granted in the data use agreement expire, unless the Applicant renews the data use agreement. § 8 Breach of contract (1) The Applicant must promptly notify TSS of any breach of the contractual obligations. Such breaches include, but are not limited to: • Processing or usage of data for purposes other than the research project according to that given in section 2 of this contract • Lack of or inadequate information regarding the data source in publications • Re-identification of individuals • Sharing data or data extracts with third parties without authorization • Unauthorized access to the data, even if this occurs via a lapse in IT security • Non-compliance with required standards for secure data storage and processing • Dissemination of personal access passwords • Not ensuring that students sign the non-disclosure statement (1) The Applicant is liable for all damages to TSS and the Data Archive arising from actions not in accordance with the terms and conditions, improper or incorrect handling in the context of access to the data made available and releases TSS and the Data Archive from any and all claims of liability or damages from third parties.
