There may be circumstances in which a lead custodian may choose to terminate a data sharing agreement that is registered or a general data sharing agreement that has been agreed. To terminate an agreement, the user must be signed into Dataplace and have the organisation administrator or data coordinator role or be an active participant on the data sharing agreement.

Terminating the data sharing agreement

In the data sharing agreement form, find the ‘Actions’ icon (vertical ellipsis) on the right-hand side and select ‘Terminate’.

You will be presented with a pop-up window to provide a justification to terminate the data sharing agreement.

The justification filed is mandatory. The reasons you provide must be consistent with any requirements included in the data sharing agreement that are related to its termination.

Once you have provided a justification, click on the 'OK’ button. The status of the data sharing agreement is then updated to Agreed - terminated for general data sharing agreements or Registered - terminated if it was under the DATA Scheme.
