What you need to know:

As of today, Thursday, October 10, 2019, Nasdaq Canada market data products will be covered under the terms and conditions of the Nasdaq Canada Data Agreement or CDA.

Nasdaq will require all Distributors receiving or intending to receive Nasdaq Canada Information through a Nasdaq Canada data feed product to be party to the CDA.

Additionally, Nasdaq will require Distributors to qualify each Subscriber that receives Nasdaq Canada Information via a controlled product or uncontrolled product that is reported as billable by the Distributor using the Nasdaq Global Subscriber Agreement.


What is changing?

Nasdaq is introducing a Nasdaq Canada Data Agreement or CDA. This agreement replaces the existing Nasdaq Canada Data Distribution Agreement and Nasdaq Canada Data Use Agreement. The provision of all Nasdaq CXC, CX2, and CXD market data products is made available under the CDA.

Who needs to execute the CDA?

All Nasdaq Canada market data Distributors are required to have a counter-executed CDA in place. Nasdaq identifies a Nasdaq Canada Distributor as a Distributor receiving or intending to receive Nasdaq Canada Information. Nasdaq Canada Information can be received directly from Nasdaq, through an approved Nasdaq extranet or through an authorized data feed provider or Redistributor.

Will current Nasdaq Canada Distributors be required to fill out a CDA?

Nasdaq will require all Distributors to counter execute a CDA, regardless of current agreements in place.

What is the deadline for current Nasdaq Canada Distributors to fill out a CDA?

All Nasdaq Canada Distributors should have an executed CDA by December 31, 2019.

Who needs to execute the Global Subscriber Agreement?

Nasdaq Canada market data Distributors are required to qualify each Subscriber receiving Nasdaq Canada Information via a controlled product. Both current Subscribers and new Subscribers must be qualified using the Nasdaq Global Subscriber Agreement using the following options:
