Artikel 41 Mustervertragsklauseln und Standardvertragsklauseln
Summary What does Article 41 of the Data act regulation say?
This is a notably brief article that places a single, time-bound task on the Commission.
It requires the Commission to produce two sets of non-binding guidance materials — model contractual terms for data access and use, and standard contractual clauses for cloud computing — to help parties navigate the contracting obligations that run throughout the regulation, particularly those in Chapters III and IV concerning fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.
Important points:
- The Commission is required to develop and recommend these model terms and standard clauses before 12 September 2025.
- Both sets of materials are explicitly non-binding, meaning they serve as guidance tools rather than mandatory requirements.
- The materials cover data access and use contracts (including reasonable compensation and trade secret protection) and cloud computing contracts specifically.

Die Kommission erstellt und empfiehlt vor dem 12. September 2025 unverbindliche Mustervertragsklauseln für den Datenzugang und die Datennutzung – einschließlich Bedingungen für eine angemessene Gegenleistung und den Schutz von Geschäftsgeheimnissen sowie nicht verbindliche Standardvertragsklauseln für Verträge über Cloud-Computing –, um die Parteien bei der Ausarbeitung und Aushandlung von Verträgen mit fairen, angemessenen und nichtdiskriminierenden vertraglichen Rechten und Pflichten zu unterstützen.
