Information Policies Document

Data Services Portal

For the latest policy clarification, CME Group publishes
an Information Policies document at cmegroup.com.
The document provides additional detail around certainpolicies such as:

The Data Services Portal is an online tool where you candocument any required access reporting each month. It
provides real-time insight to your status as a market data
client, with access to:• Unit of count• License information – Current and historical data licenses• Internal controls• Contractual Documentation – Signed legal agreements,
governing data use• Fee waivers• Reporting• Fee calculations
Information Policies will evolve over time to accommodate
feedback from clients to help manage ILA obligations and toprovide further guidance to any future policy adjustments. It isa key legal document, and you should ensure you are familiar
with the latest version.

Here is an example of how the ILA works
A client answers the questions posed by the Scope of Use,
indicating that their data needs include:• Orders – For adding or removing licenses an ‘order’ is raised
which is an in-system process to acquire or remove data
usage rights. A client or a CME Group, Global AccountManager can instigate an ‘order’ which will need to becompleted by the client and then reviewed and approved byCME Group before the specific data use is permitted.
• Reports – market data declarations previously submitted• Invoices – market data invoices in downloadable PDF formatand Excel• Contacts – Client contact information, Data Management,
Finance, Technical and Compliance contacts• Designated Contract Markets (DCM) CME and NYMEX• Internal display devices• Non-display application
The client will be presented with the ILA and Schedules 1, 1a, 2,3 and 4 for execution. These documents will be provided to theclient electronically for execution via DocuSign.
Upon execution, the client will receive the relevant reporting
codes to declare their access to CME and NYMEX data using
the CME Group Data Services Portal.

CME Group can amend the terms of the ILA, Schedules or Information Policies excluding fees with 30 days notification. Fees are amended with 90 days notification.
The ILA does not cover the receipt, usage and redistribution of SPDJI data, which CME licenses on behalf of SPDJI – for SPDJI, a separate agreement is required.
