How will the Data Act shape the future of European contract drafting? This book analyzes the new non-binding EU model contractual clauses for data access, data use, and cloud contracts.

Leading experts examine mandatory and voluntary data sharing, private enforcement, the review of standard terms and conditions, FRAND standards, and the role of EU soft law in European private law. The volume combines fundamental principles, critical analysis, and practical issues related to contract law. It is indispensable for academia, the legal profession, businesses, and anyone who wants to draft fair and legally sound data contracts in the EU's digital single market.
