Data License to Company: By uploading or providing raw samples or data ("Input Data"), you grant Puro Analytics Oy a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, and create derivative works from such data. This includes the right to use the data to improve our proprietary databases, train AI models, and publish aggregated environmental insights.

Client License to Results: Subject to the payment of all applicable fees, Puro Analytics Oy grants the Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the results and reports ("Output") solely for the Client’s internal business purposes.
