1. You will use the data for research purposes only. No commercial use is allowed.

2. You may not distribute or electronically post the data, and may not make it available to any third party at your own institution or anywhere else. Replication requests should refer to the LAPOP websites where the data can be downloaded. Authors should provide syntax/code that allows for replication of their analyses. Authors are not permitted to transfer LAPOP-obtained data sets to third parties, even journals, as that would violate the terms of the "click license."

3. All LAPOP data sets distributed via this agreement have been collected in conformance with U.S. Federal Human Subjects Protection regulations, as implemented by the Vanderbilt University Institutional Review Board. Furthermore, the data being distributed are "deidentified," such that users of the survey data should not be able to identify any individual who responded to the surveys. All U.S. institutions and users who obtain a User Subscription from LAPOP are expected to do so in complete conformity with applicable Federal human subjects protection rules. Other users should respect the principles of these U.S. regulations in every respect.

I agree that the data and other materials provided by LAPOP are to be used solely for statistical analysis and reporting of aggregated information, and not for investigation of specific individuals or organizations. By agreeing to the data use agreement, you are providing assurance that such uses of statistical data will conform to widely-accepted standards of practice and legal restrictions that are intended to protect the confidentiality of research subjects. Any intentional identification or disclosure of a person or establishment violates the assurances of confidentiality given to the the respondents in the surveys. Therefore, I agree: To use these datasets solely for statistical analysis and reporting of aggregated information, and not for investigation of specific individuals or organizations To make no use of the identity of any person or establishment discovered inadvertently, and to advise LAPOP immediately of any such discovery.

4. We also ask that all users include the following acknowledgement in their research and publications: "These data were supplied by the Latin American Public Opinion Project at Vanderbilt University, which takes no responsibility for any interpretation of the data."

5. You agree that you are accessing this data at a site affiliated or associated with the institution granted IP-level authentication access to this website (otherwise you wouldn't be able to see this page.) VPN access by other non-participating institutions is strictly prohibited.

6. You agree that neither LAPOP nor Vanderbilt University provide any warranties, neither express nor implied on the downloaded data.
