The EU Data Act turns "data access" into a contract discipline. For B2B data sharing, your agreements need to do two things at once: enable lawful, secure access and reuse (Chapter III) and avoid unilaterally imposed unfair terms that can become non binding (Chapter IV, Article 13). This page gives a practical clause library and drafting notes you can apply to APIs, portals, data feeds, and platform terms.
Article 13 targets contractual terms concerning access/use of data (and liability/remedies) that are unilaterally imposed on another enterprise and are unfair. If a term is unfair, it is not binding on the other enterprise.
This changes your drafting strategy: remove 'gross deviation' clauses (exclusive interpretation rights, extreme remedy limits, one-sided termination, etc.) and document negotiation for key terms.
Purpose limitation is the core control for reuse. It should be specific enough to protect the data holder and trade secrets, but broad enough to avoid becoming an unfair restriction.
Avoid 'catch-all' prohibitions. Describe allowed use cases and prohibited competitive behaviors explicitly.
Compensation disputes are common. Even where the Data Act expects fairness and non-discrimination, you still need a practical cost model and billing mechanics.
Write the clause so finance and engineers can execute: cost drivers, fee caps, reporting, and dispute handling.
Security terms are not boilerplate in Data Act data sharing. They are core compliance controls.
Write security terms as verifiable requirements: authentication, authorization, monitoring, and incident response.
Liability and remedies are explicitly within the Article 13 unfair-terms scope. Draft for balance and clarity.
Avoid one-sided limitations that remove remedies for non-performance or that attempt to eliminate accountability for gross negligence.
Contract disputes under the Data Act become evidence disputes. Keep artifacts that show the dataset, the controls, and the fairness of the terms.
This also improves procurement readiness: buyers increasingly ask for proof, not promises.
