Introduction
Most blocks available on UP42 are freely accessible for every user who is compliant with the UP42 Platform Terms & Conditions. However, some data and processing blocks have additional restrictions. For more information, please refer to Verification & Compliance. Users are able to get access to data/algorithms if they pass a preliminary screening. For the screening process, users need to fill out a questionnaire that gets forwarded to the data providers, who grant access upon examining the information provided by the questionnaire.
