Question regarding a backlink opportunity

Hi!

We have the opportunity to obtain many backlinks from a "competitor" in our field. This competitor hosts free-access genealogical data and generates most of their traffic through search engines. The data on their website is very often sourced from our 2 websites and collections (which are behind a paywall), but they do mention us as being the source more often than not. For example, they will include "source: nameofourwebsite (no link)" in text on their pages.

They have offered to make it so every mention of our company and our websites on their pages becomes a link to our websites' homepages. This would represent about 100 000 new back links for us. Note that there would be at most 4 or 5 links per page, these 100 000 links would be spread all over their website.

I'm interested in the SEO aspect of this. Is there such a thing as too many back links? Is 100 000 backlinks from the same website better than 1000 backlinks from the same website?

​

Thank you so much for taking the time to help.
