Databento: what its own pages say about the data
Databento, Inc. Paid vendor.
Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
A record of what this source's own pages said on the date shown. It is not a recommendation, not an offer and not legal advice, and this site is not affiliated with the source. Check the current terms yourself before you rely on any of it.
The pricing page is drawn by script and was read through a fetch tool that returns the page text. Wording from it is recorded as that tool returned it. The terms page returned no readable text, so the licence itself was not read.

The licence position
What the pages opened say about passing the data on and about training a model on it. Where they say nothing, that is recorded as not stated: silence is neither permission nor prohibition.
- Redistribution terms
- From the question 'Can I redistribute your data?' on the pricing page: 'Your redistribution rights depend on the dataset.' 'Most of our datasets can be redistributed internally or externally after 24 hours.' The terms that govern this were not read.databento.comread
- Training machine learning or AI models
- Not stated on the pages openedSilence is neither permission nor prohibition. The terms page could not be read.
Affiliate, referral or partner programme
Recorded because the question was asked. This site carries no affiliate links and is not a partner of Databento.
- Affiliate, referral, partner or reseller programme
- Not stated on the pages openedNo affiliate, referral, partner or reseller programme page was found on Databento's own site. The contact page has a Partnerships heading that reads 'We work with trading venues, brokerages, vendors, universities, and more.' followed by an Email us link, and says nothing about commission, referral credit or resale. The site's own sitemap of marketing pages, opened the same day, lists no address containing affiliate, referral or reseller, and the only addresses containing partner are glossary entries under /compliance. The startups page offers new accounts '$125 in free credits' and describes no referral scheme. Not finding a page is not proof that no arrangement exists.
