    • An “API Service” is a type of data feed distribution in which a Distributor delivers an API or similar distribution mechanism to a third-party entity for use within one or more platforms. The service allows Distributors to provide Derived Data to a third-party entity for use within one or more downstream platforms that are operated and maintained by the third-party entity. The Distributor maintains control of the entitlements, but does not maintain technical control of the usage or the display.
    • A “Platform Service” is a type of hosted display solution in which a Distributor provides derivative products to Platform Service Data Users within their infrastructure. The service allows Distributors to make Derived Data available as part of a platform, providing users remote access to derivative products based in whole or in part on Exchange Data.
    • A "White Label Service" is a type of hosted display solution in which a Distributor hosts or maintains a website or platform on behalf of a third-party entity. The service allows Distributors to make Derived Data available on a platform that is branded with a third-party brand, or co-branded with a third party and a Distributor. The Distributor maintains control of the application's data, entitlements and display.
    • "Derived Data" is pricing data or other data that (i) is created in whole or in part from Exchange Data, (ii) is not an index or financial product, and (iii) cannot be readily reverse-engineered to recreate Exchange Data or used to create other data that is a reasonable facsimile or substitute for Exchange Data.

    Trial Usage:

    First-time Users and Distributors are eligible for a free trial and will not be charged any applicable fees for 30 days for each of the real-time market data products listed on this Fee Schedule (“Product”). A first-time User would be any User that has not previously subscribed to a particular Product. A first-time Distributor would be any firm that has not previously distributed, internally or externally, a particular Product. The free trial would be for the 30 days starting on the date a User or Distributor is approved to receive trial access to Exchange market data. The Exchange will provide the 30-day free trial for each particular product to each User or Distributor once.
