Dear Customer,
We hereby send you the final reminder for participation in this year's EEX Group DataSource Products Usage Reporting for Trading Usage Licences.
Participation in the reporting process is mandatory under General Conditions section 4.4.
To avoid potential contractual and commercial consequences, please ensure that your report is submitted by the end of today (31 August 2026).
What do I need to know and how can I submit my report?
Please submit your annual report by filling in the Reporting Form for Trading Usage here: Trading Usage Reporting Form
Consequences of not fulfilling your reporting obligation
Not reporting your usage may affect the remuneration in the next invoicing period, as per General Conditions 4.4.5. The consequences are as follows:
a twenty (20) per cent mark-up on the last annual invoice
advance payment on the basis of an appropriate estimate of the fee to be expected
Continuation of the DataSource Service Agreement dependent upon the payment of reasonable costs (full amount of advance) for an Audit
suspension of data delivery until all required reports are properly submitted
The right to terminate the DataSource Service Agreement without notice under our General Conditions Section 5.1.6 shall remain unaffected.
Seperate Reporting process for each EEX Group webshop user account and for each licence type
Please note that we run the reporting process for each EEX Group webshop user account and for each licence type (Internal/Trading/External usage licence).
This may mean that several forms need to be submitted to us per company and per account. If you hold more than one licence type with us, you will get separate invitations to participate in these too.
Why is it important to participate?
According to Section 4.4 of the General Conditions applicable to EEX Group DataSource Products (formerly Section 12 of the "Info-Vendor Contracts"), all customers are obliged to report how they use our licensed EEX Group DataSource Products once a year.
Please note that this applies only to EEX Market Data products, not to EPEX Spot data products.
What information is requested and where can you find it?
The average processing time is ~7 minutes. We ask you about the following aspects:
| What information is requested? | Where to find? |
|---|---|
| Your EEX Group Webshop Account |
| Your Invoice |
| Your Contract: DataSource Service Agreement (Trading Usage) |
Timeline
