UL offers the PROSPECTOR® materials database and Product iQ websites (the "Sites") and provides information on its Sites (www.ulprospector.com and iq.ulprospector.com ) to third parties (the “Services”).

This Supplier Product Information Usage Policy (“Policy”) describes how UL Verification Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “UL”) and their customers may use technical data sheets (each, a “TDS”) and/or technical product data (“Data”) and/or related information (collectively, “Product Information”), including any viewable or unviewable metadata or other properties or attributes contained in such Product Information, that UL:

1. Receives from you (e.g., a supplier or manufacturer) (each, a “Supplier” or “you”), or

2. Otherwise obtains from you, including by permitting UL to copy Product Information from your website using manual or automated means.

If you register to be a member or paid subscriber to one of more of the Services, your separate agreement with UL including statement of work (“SOW”) and Prospector/Product IQ Service Terms at https://www.ul.com/resources/prospectorproduct-iq-service-terms (the “Service Terms”) will govern any data or information that you may provide to UL in connection with the Services. 

By providing your Product Information to UL, or otherwise permitting UL to access and copy your Product Information, you expressly agree to the terms of this Policy, as follows: 

1. Product Information License

You hereby grant to UL a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, worldwide right and license (with the right to sublicense) to copy, use, store, adapt, modify, publicly display, distribute, and create derivative works from, Product Information in connection with:
