Introduction: In 1988, the IRIS Data Management Center (DMC) was established and began managing data from primarily the IRIS Global Seismograph Network (GSN) program. As it matured, data from other IRIS programs (i.e. PASSCAL) and USGS global networks started being managed at the IRIS DMC. Beginning with primarily IRIS programs and our close collaborators in the GSN the IRIS DMC has expanded and now nearly 50% of the data it manages comes from non-IRIS sources. These represent valuable contributions to both IRIS and the international seismological research community, but a recent external review panel recommended IRIS Data Services (DS) establish a formal agreement between IRIS DS and data providers. This document will better articulate the responsibilities of IRIS DS as well as the data contributor in this collaboration.
