Common use of Log Data Clause in Contracts

Log Data. The Log Data, and the Intellectual Property Rights therein, arising from Alibaba’s use of Yahoo! Technology Products, shall be jointly owned by the parties. To the extent ownership of the foregoing initially vests in only one party, that party hereby assigns to the other party an undivided joint interest in the foregoing, and agrees during and after this Agreement to perform any act required to perfect the other party’s rights thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Subject to Yahoo!’s privacy policy and applicable Yahoo! security policies, either party may use, transfer or license such Log Data or Intellectual Property Rights regarding users in the Territory without the consent of the other party and without any duty to account to the other party, provided that Alibaba shall not use (or permit the use of) such Log Data outside the Territory. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no party shall be prohibited from providing such Intellectual Property Rights or Log Data to any third party (on a confidential basis) for aggregation or analysis, or otherwise on an aggregated basis to advertisers, potential advertisers and other third parties in connection with the sale of advertising, or to third parties in connection with market research and similar publishing; provided that neither party will use such information in a misleading fashion so as to materially understate or overstate to any third party the magnitude of usage of Alibaba’s sites. Alibaba will, as requested, provide Yahoo! with a copy of such Log Data. Yahoo! will, to the extent reasonably requested by Alibaba, provide Alibaba with a copy of such Log Data, solely to the extent that such Log Data is already maintained as a separate file from other data in Yahoo!’s possession (unless Alibaba agrees to pay all of Yahoo!’s costs that may be incurred in order to separate such Log Data from other data in Yahoo!’s possession, provided that such separation is commercially feasible) and does not require the extraction of any Yahoo! Confidential Information.
