Data Subscription Best Practices

STEP ONE – Designate a Canyon Data Administrator

If you have not already done so, designate someone within your company to be in charge of managing your Canyon Data license(s). This Canyon Data Administrator helps in at least three ways:

  • When an authorized user leaves your company, your Canyon Data Administrator can terminate the person’s Canyon Data access and either reassign the access or hold it until a new user is hired.
  • When more users or site licenses are needed, your Canyon Data Administrator can purchase more subscription seats via the subscribe page. For large companies with special rates, you will need to contact Canyon Data support.
  • Your Canyon Data Administrator makes sure that your team understands the broad usage rights and specific prohibitions that apply to your Canyon Data services.

STEP TWO – Review Your License

Look at your initial license and any amendments to determine located in your dashboard

  • How many sites are authorized under your Canyon Data license (“Authorized Sites”)
  • How many users are authorized under your Canyon Data license (“Authorized Users”)

Then identify which sites and which individuals are currently designated as Authorized Sites and
Authorized Users under your license. If you need assistance with this, contact Canyon Data
Sales/Account Executive and/or Canyon Data Customer Service.

STEP THREE – Audit Your Usage

Are any of your Authorized Users based at a site that is not licensed?

  • Does the total number of your partners, brokerage, research, sales, appraisal, or other similar personnel performing tasks exceed the number of Canyon Data Authorized Users?
  • Do any of the individuals designated as Authorized Users under your license work for a separate company with commercial real estate information needs?
  • Does your company provide any photos or information to listing services or other information providers without appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure that you do not provide photos or information obtained from Canyon Data?
  • Does your company populate an internal database of commercial real estate information without appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure that you do not incorporate any photos or information obtained from Canyon Data without permission?
  • Are any of your Authorized Users sharing their passwords?

STEP FOUR – Contact Canyon Data

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions in Step Three, immediately contact Canyon Data at

business. All Canyon Data Media and Information downloaded, copied, or given permission to use must be unaltered and displays the Canyon Data watermark, and be credited as the sourced cite as “courtesy of Canyon Data, Inc.”.

All Canyon Data Media and Information downloaded, copied, or given permission to use must be unaltered and displays the Canyon Data watermark, and be credited as the sourced cite as “courtesy of Canyon Data, Inc.”.

What about market statistics? Can I include them from Canyon Data products in a general market research report for in-house use? How about clients’ or prospective clients’ use?

Yes. A Canyon Data customer may do so in the ordinary course of its business. But such general market reports should not contain building-specific or tenant-specific data obtained from Canyon Data, nor should the reports be sold or generally distributed.

(Note – This doesn’t limit the subscriber’s ability to create a report with property-specific and/or market trend information, whether for internal research or for presentation to a client. Rather, this solely addresses the creation of a general market report profiling a certain geographic area;

and is intended to preclude the use of the Canyon Data service to create a fungible listing directory.)

Can I incorporate market statistics from Canyon Data products into a press release or article?

Yes. A Canyon Data customer may incorporate a limited amount of market statistics (i.e., not building specific or tenant-specific data) from Canyon Data products into a press release or an article, so long as (i) “Canyon Data, Inc., www.canyondata.tech is cited as the source, and (ii) the statistics are calculated and described accurately.

I have an internal database (or other software) I’d like to populate with Canyon Data information, reports, photographs or other images. Is that okay?

Canyon Data customers use the Canyon Data services to conduct internal research, market properties, prepare valuations, and provide their clients with discrete amounts of information or imagery to aid in market analysis or leasing or purchasing decisions. In connection with such uses, Canyon Data customers may copy some material from Canyon Data into word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs. Other than this, Canyon Data customers should not integrate or incorporate textual information, reports, photographs, or images from Canyon Data into any database or software program for any purpose, including storage, analysis, or later use or retrieval, unless specifically authorized by Canyon Data in writing.

What about another information service? Can I take Canyon Data information, reports, photos or other images and submit them there?

No. A Canyon Data customer should not take content from Canyon Data products and post it on an
Internet listing service or provide it to other commercial real estate information services. Canyon Data has invested and otherwise continues to invest significant resources to build and maintain the valuable content in its services and it is unfair for Canyon Data’s competitors to profit from Canyon Data’s efforts.

My company has a website. Can I post information or photographs from a Canyon Data product here?

In no event should any photographs from Canyon Data sources be provided to or appear on the website of another commercial real estate information service or Internet listing service.

Do I lose ownership rights when I submit a photograph, information, or imagery to Canyon Data?

No, absolutely not. You still retain any ownership rights you may have in the content you provide to
Canyon Data. You are not transferring ownership of a photograph or other information or imagery when you submit it to Canyon Data’s research professionals. You are free to use or distribute such
information, photos, or other imagery as you see fit. Canyon Data is willing to cite the source of the information and display the watermarked item should the customer desire it.

Can you tell me how Canyon Data’s services are licensed and priced?

Like other providers of information and data as a service (DAAS) software, Canyon Data restricts the use of its database services to those that have entered into proper license agreements. These license agreements specify the number and location of authorized sites and the number and names of authorized users at each such site. Customers pay fixed amounts rather than fees based on actual system usage. Such charges vary depending upon several factors, including
• Number of subscription seats
• Organization size
• Number of services and markets to which a client subscribes.

Some customers enter into separate license agreements with Canyon Data for each office and product, whereas others enter into one national or regional agreement that covers multiple offices, products and markets. Please contact our sales department for more information on national or regional agreements.

All Subscriptions are an annual contract. No early terminations, refunds or cancellations are allowed on any subscriptions.

Do subscribers need to renew their Canyon Data agreements? Or do they renew automatically?

In order to avoid service interruptions, the standard Canyon Data license agreement renews
automatically for successive one-year periods following the expiration of the initial term. Canyon Data has systems to process agreements with auto-renewal provisions. If a subscriber forgets to cancel their subscription in the first two months after their renewal date Canyon Data will honor the cancellation. If it is beyond 2 months the subscriber is locked in for the remaining year of subscription.

Who can be Authorized Users under a customer license?

Authorized Users are those designated individuals included on a customer’s list of Authorized Sites and Users for the Canyon Data services. That list accompanies the license and may be modified from time to time. However, that list may include only the Customer’s employees or, if applicable, independent contractors who work solely for the Customer (i.e., they cannot be Authorized User if they also work for another firm with commercial real estate information needs).

If an employee leaves or is terminated, what do we do with their subscription?

If an authorized user leaves the customer’s business, contact your company’s designated Canyon Data Administrator. Your designated administrator will turn off the specified user access. The license will remain open for the duration of the calendar year for the customer to reassign the license to a new authorized user. Subscription license refunds are not issued due to changes in customers’ personnel.

As a Canyon Data customer, do all my employees need to be included as Authorized Users?

The basic idea is that the number of individuals at a firm benefiting from the Canyon Data subscription (i.e., the pertinent organization size) should not exceed the number of licensed Authorized Users. If it does, then additional Authorized Users need to be added. People who are not Authorized Users may not use a Canyon Data subscription product or receive customer service from Canyon Data.

What about passwords? I’m an authorized licensed Canyon Data user. May I share my password to Canyon Data products with other employees in my office or with people outside my office?

No, absolutely not. Each authorized user’s User ID, Password and, if applicable, variable key token
(collectively, “Passwords”) is meant for that individual user’s sole use and benefit in accordance with the applicable license terms and conditions. To protect Canyon Data and its customers, sharing passwords is strictly prohibited.

What can I do to stop the unlicensed use of Canyon Data services by competitors?

Just like any online business, Canyon Data must fight piracy and unauthorized use. Such unlicensed use or copying of Canyon Data’s commercial real estate information services hurts you, the Canyon Data customer, because it reduces Canyon Data’s ability to
• Maximize Canyon Data’s services to their fullest potential
• Deliver them to you at fair prices and with high quality

Unlicensed use and copying also hurts you by providing your competitors who use but do not pay for the Canyon Data service with an unfair advantage. Working together, however, we can do something about this problem. Please alert us as to any suspected misuse of Canyon Data services by sending an email to support@canyondata.tech.

Are there exceptions to these answers and the standard license agreement?

Canyon Data account executives and other Canyon Data representatives are not authorized to grant any exceptions to the rules noted here or the standard license agreement. Only authorized officers of Canyon Data can make any exceptions to the standard license agreement. Such changes must be made in writing.
