Microsoft Research Data License Agreement
for
Kaggle Cats and Dogs Dataset
This Microsoft Research Data License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you and
Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates). Please read them. They apply to the
Microsoft Research dataset named above, which may include any associated materials, text or speech files,
associated media and “online” or electronic documentation and any updates we provide in our discretion
(together, the “Dataset”). The terms also apply to any Microsoft (i) updates, (ii) supplements, (iii) internet-based
services, and (iv) support services for this Dataset, unless other terms accompany those items. If so, those terms
apply.
By agreeing to this Agreement and/or by using the Dataset, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them,
do not use the Dataset. If you comply with these terms, you have the rights below.
1. SCOPE OF RIGHTS.
You may only use the Dataset:
i. for non-commercial or research purposes only. Examples of non-commercial uses are
teaching, academic research, public demonstrations and personal experimentation;
ii. for analyzing and testing purposes; and
iii. to publish (or present papers or articles) on your results from using such Dataset, provided
that no material portion of the Dataset is included in any such publication or presentation.
2. DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS. You may not: (a) modify or distribute the Dataset; (b) alter any copyright,
trademark or patent notice in the Dataset; (c) use Microsoft’s trademarks in a way that suggests your
derivative works or modifications come from or are endorsed by Microsoft; or (d) include the Dataset in
malicious, deceptive or unlawful programs.
3. OWNERSHIP. Microsoft retains all right, title, and interest in and to any Dataset provided to you under

right to use, share and commercialize your feedback in any way and for any purpose. You also give to third
parties, without charge, any patent rights needed for their products, technologies and services to use or
interface with any specific parts of a Microsoft dataset or service that includes the feedback. You will not
