Platform Fees & Commission Schedule

This Schedule is incorporated by reference into the Opendatabay Brokerage & Listing Terms and forms part of the agreement between the Data Provider and Opendatabay

Last Updated: November 11, 2026

Definitions

The term 'Opendatabay' or 'us' or 'we' refers to the owner of the marketplace whose registered office is 7 Hungate, Beccles, NR349TT, United Kingdom. Our company registration number 15711573, registered in England and Wales. The term 'Data Provider' or 'user' or 'you' refers to the user trying to list data on our marketplace.

Terms defined in the Data Provider (Seller) Agreement, including Self-Serve Sale, Brokered Transaction, Transaction Confirmation, Provider Price and Introduced Transaction, have the same meaning in this Schedule.

Platform Fees & Commission Schedule

Listing on Opendatabay is free. Opendatabay applies a tiered commission structure on Self-Serve Sales, API calls, and data access fees. The applicable commission decreases progressively as the transaction value increases, providing lower effective rates for higher-value transactions.

The applicable fee is calculated based on the individual transaction value, not on monthly or cumulative sales.

The commission schedule is:

Sale PriceOpendatabay Fee (%)Seller Receives (%)
$1 - $10030%70%
$101 - $1,00030% → 25%70% → 75%
$1,001 - $10,00025% → 20%75% → 80%
$10,001 - $25,00020% → 15%80% → 85%
$25,001 - $50,00015% → 10%85% → 90%
$50,001 - $250,00010% → 5%90% → 95%
$250,001 and above5%95%

For transaction values within a range, the applicable percentage is determined progressively within that range. The exact fee and resulting seller payout are displayed when a Data Provider sets or updates a product price.

After deducting the applicable platform fee, the remaining balance is paid to the Data Provider.

Brokered Transactions

The commission schedule above does not apply to Brokered Transactions. For each Brokered Transaction, you receive the Provider Price agreed in the Transaction Confirmation, paid in accordance with the Data Provider (Seller) Agreement. Opendatabay sets its own price to the buyer.

Opendatabay may also agree different commercial terms for bespoke brokerage or enterprise transactions where agreed separately in writing.

Introduced Transactions Outside the Platform

Commission is payable on every Introduced Transaction concluded outside the Platform, at the rate in the commission schedule above that would have applied had the transaction been concluded through the Platform as a Self-Serve Sale, calculated on the total contract value, as set out in the Data Provider (Seller) Agreement.

Payouts

Method and currency. All prices, commissions and payouts are in US dollars (USD). Payouts are made by bank transfer to the verified business bank account registered to your provider account. Any charges or currency conversion applied by your bank or an intermediary bank are borne by you.

Self-Serve Sales. Your earnings from Self-Serve Sales, after deduction of the platform fee, are paid within thirty (30) days of the end of the calendar month in which the sale was completed, once your total unpaid earnings reach at least USD 100. Earnings below USD 100 carry forward to the following month until that minimum is reached.

Brokered Transactions. The Provider Price is paid by bank transfer in accordance with the Data Provider (Seller) Agreement, in USD unless the Transaction Confirmation states another currency. The USD 100 minimum does not apply.

Disputes and refunds. Opendatabay may withhold payment of earnings relating to a sale that is the subject of a dispute, refund request or chargeback until it is resolved. Where a Self-Serve Sale is refunded or reversed, including by chargeback, the earnings for that sale are reversed or set off against future payouts.

Verification. Opendatabay may suspend payouts until you have provided the identity, business and anti-money laundering verification documents it reasonably requests.

Payment details. You are responsible for keeping your payment details accurate and up to date. Opendatabay is not liable for any payment made to the details you have provided, or for any delay caused by incorrect or incomplete details.

Set-off. Opendatabay may set off any amount you owe it, including commission on Introduced Transactions, against any payout.

Taxes. You are responsible for declaring and paying any taxes due on your earnings, and for complying with the anti-money laundering laws that apply to you. Opendatabay may deduct or withhold any tax it is required by law to deduct or withhold.

Governing Law & Updates

This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of London, England.

Opendatabay may update these terms. Changes that materially add to your obligations take effect thirty (30) days after notice is given, by email or by notice on the Platform or in your provider account. Changes required by law, or needed to prevent unlawful or harmful content being listed, and all other changes, including clarifications, take effect when published.

Each time you list or relist a Data Product, you accept the version of these terms in force at that time for that Data Product. Opendatabay records the version you accepted and the date of acceptance.

If you do not accept a change, you may delist any affected Data Product before the change takes effect. Changes do not apply retrospectively to any sale already concluded.
