Terms of Service

1. For Capture Partners

1.1 Pay: a published floor, and a rate stated in each brief

Pay starts at ₹229 per hour of accepted capture, via UPI, on QA approval. That floor is published here and on the recruitment page; the rate for a specific brief is stated in that brief before you accept it. If a clip fails automated QA, the rejection reason is recorded, and you can ask for it at partners@fourthuman.ai. Partial payment applies to a borderline verdict.

1.2 Consent: granted per task, withdrawable always

You consent per recording task, before capture, and each consent is written to an append-only ledger: see how the ledger works. You can revoke any consent at any time by emailing partners@fourthuman.ai, without giving a reason and without it affecting money you have already earned.

Revocation deletes. Revoking removes your footage and everything derived from it from our storage, including from dataset releases already cut, with the deletion recorded in an append-only log. Details and what minimally survives (the evidence of your withdrawal itself): Privacy Notice: your rights.

1.3 Your responsibilities

• Record only where you have the right to be, and tell anyone who will appear in frame that recording is happening; our blurring protects faces, but consent to record a space is yours to obtain.
• Record real work, honestly; staged or duplicated submissions fail QA and repeated attempts end the engagement.
• Keep your account and payout details your own; we pay the account holder only.

2. For Commissioning labs

In short, for every engagement:

• Indian law governs these terms (clause 2.3).
• Withdrawn consent reaches your copies. When a Capture Partner withdraws consent, you must delete your copies of the affected clips within 30 days of our notice (clause 2.2).
• Model output is labelled derived, never measured (clause 2.1).
• Security and data protection: Privacy Notice, section 3a.
• Warranty, liability and indemnity are agreed in writing for each engagement (clause 2.3).

2.1 What you are buying, stated precisely

• Bespoke capture against your brief, delivered through a sample-before-scale flow: you approve a sample before we scale collection.
• Citable releases. Deliveries are cut as immutable, content-addressed releases: the release id is recomputable from the manifest, and a verification endpoint reports whether every clip in it is still intact.
• Auditable provenance. Every clip carries a consent receipt you can check against the ledger. You get proof consent exists; you never get the person's identity.
• Honest labels. Model-generated fields are marked derived in the schema. We do not present model output as measurement, to you or anyone.

2.2 The deletion clause you must accept

A Capture Partner's revocation outranks your citation. If consent behind a delivered clip is revoked, we delete it from our storage, the affected release reports itself degraded, and you are contractually required to delete your copies of the affected clips within 30 days of our notice. This clause is not negotiable, because the promise it protects is made to the person in the footage, not to us.

What that deletion reaches, and what it does not. It reaches our storage and our internal systems, and your copies of the affected clips. It does not reach a model you have already trained on them. Whether Indian law treats a trained model as containing its training data is an open legal question.

2.3 Warranty, liability and governing law

Warranty, liability caps and indemnities are agreed in writing for each engagement. These terms name no court. Indian law governs; nothing here excludes rights that Indian law does not permit excluding.

3. For everyone using this site

The site's public content is provided as-is for information. We work to keep every number on it reproducible from a committed artifact (our engineering validations describe how), but site content is not an offer capable of acceptance; engagements happen under written agreements. The one third-party script on this site, Cloudflare Web Analytics, is described in the Privacy Notice. Don't attack the site, scrape Capture Partners' data, or probe the API beyond the documented public surface. Don't send our forms by script or in bulk, including through automated job-application services; we may discard those submissions without replying.

4. Changes and contact

Changes are made by publishing a new dated version of this page. Questions: privacy@fourthuman.ai.
