1. Purpose and acceptance

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern access to and use of the services provided by GLINT, a société par actions simplifiée (SAS, a simplified joint-stock company) under French law with a share capital of 2,000 EUR, registered with the Niort Trade and Companies Register (Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés de Niort) under number 104 088 703 (EUID FR7901.104088703), whose registered office is located at 18 Chemin de la Futaie, 79200 Pompaire, France, VAT not applicable, art. 293 B of the French General Tax Code (Code général des impôts, CGI) (VAT exemption scheme, "franchise en base"), represented by its President, the company AIRAULT & CO (SAS, SIREN 103 077 202, Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés de Niort) ("Glint", "we" or "our"), through the website glintdata.io, the Glint mobile application, the enterprise portal and any other associated service (collectively, the "Platform" and the "Services").

Glint reserves the right to refuse access to the Services to any person who does not meet these conditions.

3.2 Geographic restrictions

The Services are available from the European Union and certain other countries. Glint reserves the right to restrict access to the Services in certain jurisdictions, without notice, for regulatory compliance or commercial reasons.

3.3 Availability

Glint makes reasonable efforts to ensure the availability of the Services. However, Glint does not guarantee uninterrupted availability and may suspend all or part of the Services for maintenance, updates, or in the event of force majeure, without incurring any liability.

3.4 Launch phase and early access

The Services are offered in a launch phase (early access). Certain features may be incomplete, evolving, temporarily unavailable or modified, and the scope of the Services (accepted modalities, valuation schedules, levels, tools) may change as they are developed. Glint makes reasonable efforts to inform the User of substantial changes. Early access carries no guarantee of result, performance or continued availability beyond what is provided in Section 11.


4. Registration and account

4.1 Account creation

Access to certain features requires the creation of an account. You undertake to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information provided.

4.2 Authentication and security

You are solely responsible for the confidentiality of your login credentials. Any use of your account is deemed to have been carried out by you. You undertake to:

  • choose a strong and unique password;
  • enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where available;
  • not share your credentials;

Glint cannot be held liable for the consequences of fraudulent use of your account resulting from your negligence.

4.3 Identity verification (KYC): Contributors

4.4 Single account rule

Each User may hold only one Contributor account. The creation of multiple accounts by the same person is prohibited and constitutes grounds for exclusion. Client accounts may be multiple within the same entity, subject to one professional identifier per user.

4.5 Suspension and closure

You may close your account at any time from your account space or by contacting support@glintdata.io. Glint may suspend or close your account in accordance with the terms set out in Section 12.


5. General terms of use

5.1 Personal and professional use

You undertake to use the Services in accordance with the Terms and applicable law. Use of the Services for unlawful or fraudulent purposes, or in a manner that infringes rights, is strictly prohibited.

5.2 Content and compliance

You warrant that the content you transmit:

  • does not infringe the rights of third parties (intellectual property, privacy, image rights);
  • does not contain unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful content or content that undermines human dignity;
  • complies with applicable law, including the GDPR, the French Intellectual Property Code and the French Criminal Code.

5.3 Cooperation with authorities

Glint cooperates with the competent judicial and administrative authorities. Your data may be disclosed upon legal request, in accordance with the Privacy Policy.


6. Provisions specific to Contributors

6.1 Legal status of the Contributor

The Contributor acts as an independent service provider. The relationship between Glint and the Contributor is in no way an employment, subordination or agency relationship. The Contributor is free to accept or refuse any Mission, without any imposed quota, without exclusivity, and without hierarchical control on the part of Glint. Glint undertakes to: not impose working hours, leave the Contributor free to accept or refuse each Mission, not exercise hierarchical control, allow competing services, and remunerate per validated task and not per time worked.

Express acknowledgement by the Contributor. By creating an account on the Platform, the Contributor expressly acknowledges and accepts:

  • having freely chosen to use the Platform to generate a supplementary or primary income, in full awareness of the non-salaried nature of the relationship;
  • having full autonomy as to the organisation of their time, the choice of Missions, and the provision of competing services to other platforms;
  • fully assuming the economic and organisational risks attached to their activity;
  • being solely responsible for the choice, declaration and maintenance of their legal status (auto-entrepreneur, micro-entrepreneur, private individual declaring incidental income, or any other status applicable to their situation and country of tax residence);
  • not being entitled, under any circumstances, to claim the status of employee, agent, exclusive subcontractor, franchisee or subordinate collaborator of Glint.

Indemnification in the event of a reclassification action. If the Contributor brings an action seeking to reclassify the contractual relationship as an employment contract, agency, or any other regime involving subordination, the Contributor undertakes to indemnify Glint for all reasonable defence costs (including advisory fees) and direct financial consequences, except where the reclassification is definitively pronounced by an enforceable court decision based on a substantial breach by Glint of its own non-subordination undertakings set out in this article. This indemnification obligation applies within the limits permitted by the mandatory provisions of French labour law and respect for the Contributor's fundamental rights.

Compliance with Directive (EU) 2024/2831 on platform work. Glint acknowledges that Directive (EU) 2024/2831 of 23 October 2024 on improving working conditions in platform work will be transposed into French law by December 2026 at the latest. Glint undertakes, as soon as the transposition enters into force, to comply with the resulting obligations, in particular:

  • transparency regarding matching and rating algorithms (art. 9);
  • informing the Contributor about the parameters taken into account by automated systems (art. 9);
  • the Contributor's right to obtain a reasoned explanation and to contest any significant decision taken or assisted by an automated system (art. 11);
  • effective human oversight of automated decisions affecting working conditions (art. 10);
  • the non-use of automated systems to process biometric data, emotions or psychological state (art. 7);
  • the assessment of risks associated with the use of algorithmic systems (art. 8).

The Contributor may, at any time, request a human review of a significant automated decision by writing to support@glintdata.io.

6.2 Carrying out Missions

6.2.1 Mission Brief

Each Mission is governed by a Brief specifying: the nature of the data to be collected, the technical specifications, the expected context, the required metadata, the GDPR constraints, the remuneration per validated Content and the deadline. The Contributor undertakes to strictly comply with the Brief.

6.2.2 Quality standards

The Contributor undertakes to produce Submitted Content that complies with the technical and qualitative standards published by Glint (in particular: sharpness, framing, format, resolution, duration). The standards may change and are communicated for each Mission.

6.2.3 Authenticity

The Contributor declares, warrants and attests on their honour, upon each submission and on an ongoing basis, that their Submitted Content:

  • was personally and exclusively created by the Contributor as part of the Mission, on the declared date and at the declared location;
  • does not originate from third-party sources (image banks, the internet, captures from other Users, prior personal archives outside the Brief, etc.);
  • is not generated, augmented, transformed or simulated by artificial intelligence, deepfake, generative model or any other automated process, unless expressly authorised by the Brief and in accordance with its exact requirements;
  • has not been submitted to another platform, transferred to a third party, or used in any other commercial context;
  • does not contain personal data of third parties (face, voice, licence plate, personal document, third-party screen, third-party conversation, etc.) without the prior express written consent of those third parties, obtained and retained by the Contributor;
  • does not contain images, videos or voices of minors;
  • does not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties (protected works, prominently visible trademarks, protected designs and models, etc.);
  • does not originate from captures made in places subject to prior authorisation (private sites, premises closed to the public, industrial sites, critical infrastructure) without the required authorisation;
  • does not contain sensitive data within the meaning of article 9 of the GDPR (health, religion, racial origin, political opinions, sexual orientation, biometric identification data, etc.) unless expressly authorised by the Brief and with appropriate legal bases.

Consequences of a breach. Any breach, even partial, of the above declarations and warranties automatically and without notice entails:

  • the automatic nullity of the Mission concerned and the absence of any payment for the affected Content;
  • the withholding by Glint of the sums corresponding to the fraudulent Content under the conditions of Section 12.3;
  • the immediate and permanent exclusion from the Platform in the event of serious fraud;
  • the reporting to the competent authorities where the facts are likely to constitute a criminal offence (in particular counterfeiting, fraud, forgery, invasion of privacy, harm to minors);
  • the full and complete personal liability of the Contributor, in accordance with Section 11.5 (Indemnification).

6.3 Quality control

All Submitted Content undergoes quality control combining automated checks and human review. Glint has exclusive discretion over the compliance of each item of Submitted Content, in accordance with the Brief and the published standards.

  • Validated Content: triggers payment to the Contributor according to the applicable remuneration schedule.
  • Rejected Content: the Contributor is informed of the reason for rejection. Depending on the rejection, a new submission may be authorised (up to 3 attempts per file).
  • Suspicious Content (fraud): in-depth examination by Glint, the possibility of requesting supporting documents from the Contributor, and possible sanction.

Content security gate. In addition to quality control, an automated mechanism analyses each item of Submitted Content and automatically rejects, without incorporation or remuneration, any illegal or toxic content, in particular: the staging of minors in a sexual context, explicit sexual content, graphic violence, hateful or extremist symbols or statements. This rejection is immediate and facts likely to constitute a criminal offence are handled in accordance with Sections 6.2.3 and 8.

6.4 Remuneration

6.4.1 Remuneration principle

The Contributor is remunerated only for validated Submitted Content. The remuneration schedule is published by Glint and may vary according to the nature of the Mission, the required specialisation and the Contributor's Level. Glint reserves the right to modify the remuneration schedule for future Missions, without retroactive effect.

6.4.2 Wallet and balance

Earnings accumulate in the Contributor's Wallet, denominated in euros. The Contributor can view their balance, the history of their missions and the history of their withdrawals from their account space.

6.4.3 Withdrawal threshold and payment methods

  • Precondition for withdrawal: the Contributor must have reached at least 100 validated files (Missions and Free Upload combined, all modalities) before being able to request a withdrawal. Earnings accumulate in the Wallet upon validation, but only become withdrawable once this threshold is reached.
  • Minimum withdrawal threshold: 25 EUR
  • Processing time: 48 to 72 hours from the withdrawal request (target: almost instant payment via Stripe Connect)
  • Payment methods: SEPA bank transfer; PayPal and Stripe subject to availability by country

6.4.4 Fees

Any bank fees relating to the transfer (in particular for international transfers outside the SEPA zone) are borne by the Contributor and will be deducted from the amount paid. No other fees are deducted by Glint from the earnings paid.

The Contributor is solely responsible for the accuracy and updating of their payout details (IBAN, Stripe or PayPal identifiers). A payment made by Glint to the details provided by the Contributor discharges Glint's payment obligation up to the amount paid. Glint is not responsible for any delay, failure, fee or loss resulting from inaccurate, incompatible or outdated details provided by the Contributor.

6.4.5 Tax and social security regime

Exclusive personal responsibility of the Contributor. The Contributor is solely and entirely responsible:

  • for declaring and paying all taxes, levies, contributions, social security charges and other withholdings applicable to the earnings received via the Platform, in accordance with the laws of their country of tax residence and any other jurisdiction to which they may be subject;
  • for the choice, declaration and maintenance of their legal status (auto-entrepreneur, micro-entrepreneur, self-employed professional, employee declaring incidental income, private individual declaring incidental income, or any other applicable status) with the competent authorities (URSSAF, tax services, foreign equivalents);
  • for the registration and the updating of that registration with the required social security and tax bodies;
  • for compliance with the legal thresholds (in particular the micro-enterprise turnover threshold, the VAT threshold, the threshold for a change of regime) and all consequences in the event of exceeding them;
  • for providing Glint with accurate tax information (tax identification number, social security number, declared status, country of tax residence); any erroneous information engages the full liability of the Contributor;
  • for any dispute with their tax administration, their social security body or a third-party body relating to their Glint earnings.

The Contributor expressly acknowledges having become aware of the potential tax and social security consequences of their activity on the Platform and having consulted, where appropriate, a professional adviser. Glint is not required to provide personalised tax, social security or legal advice to the Contributor.

No withholding at source. Glint acts as a mere intermediary for connection and payment. Glint does not operate any withholding at source on the Contributor's earnings (neither advance deduction, nor social security contributions, nor tax). The Contributor receives all of their gross earnings (subject only to the bank fees mentioned in Section 6.4.4) and personally handles the declaration and payment of all taxes, levies, contributions and social security charges for which they are liable, as well as the choice and maintenance of their status.

Documents provided by Glint. Glint makes available to the Contributor:

  • a payment receipt for each withdrawal;
  • an annual summary of the amounts paid during the past calendar year, intended to facilitate their declarations;
  • an annual invoice issued by Glint on a self-billing basis (in the name and on behalf of the Contributor, article 289, I-2 of the French General Tax Code), under the conditions of the invoicing mandate of Section 6.4.6, where the Contributor's status so requires.

Glint's obligations towards the tax authorities. Pursuant to Directive (EU) 2021/514 (DAC7), transposed into French law by article 134 of the Finance Act for 2022, as well as article 242 bis of the French General Tax Code (CGI), Glint annually declares to the tax authorities the required information (Contributor's identity, amounts paid during the year, and where applicable fees or commissions charged by Glint). The Contributor acknowledges this reporting obligation and expressly authorises Glint to transmit this information.

Indemnification. In the event of a tax reassessment, audit, formal notice, penalty or judgment against Glint resulting from an erroneous tax or social security declaration by the Contributor, a misdeclared legal status, or a personal breach by the Contributor of their tax or social security obligations, the Contributor indemnifies Glint under the conditions set out in Section 11.5.

6.4.6 Invoicing mandate (self-billing)

Where the Contributor has a status subjecting them to an invoicing obligation (in particular auto-entrepreneur or micro-entrepreneur), they give Glint a mandate to issue their invoices in their name and on their behalf (self-billing), in accordance with article 289, I-2 of the French General Tax Code.

In this context:

  • each invoice is issued by Glint in the name and on behalf of the Contributor and bears the "Autofacturation" (self-billing) mention required by article 242 nonies A of Annex II to the French General Tax Code;
  • the Contributor retains the status of supplier and remains solely liable, where applicable, for VAT and all of their reporting obligations relating to these invoices;
  • the Contributor has a period of thirty (30) days from the making available of each invoice to contest it in writing; failing contestation within this period, the invoice is deemed accepted;
  • the Contributor undertakes to inform Glint without delay of any change affecting their invoicing obligations (change or loss of status, liability or non-liability for VAT, intra-community VAT number, modification of the SIREN/SIRET, change of country of tax residence);
  • the mandate is granted for the duration of the contractual relationship and may be revoked at any time by either party, in writing, without retroactive effect on invoices already issued;
  • the Contributor remains responsible for archiving their invoices in accordance with their own legal obligations.

This mandate applies only to Contributors having a professional status involving the issuance of invoices. For Contributors declaring incidental income without professional status, Glint makes available the annual summary mentioned in Section 6.4.5.

6.5 Exclusivity, competition and confidentiality

The Contributor is not bound by any exclusivity obligation towards Glint. They may perform competing services for other platforms or organisations, subject to:

  • not submitting to a third party Content already submitted to Glint;
  • complying with the specific confidentiality obligations mentioned in certain Briefs (in particular for field Missions, on industrial sites, or Missions under a specific NDA).

6.6 Referral programme

Glint offers a referral programme. The exact terms (bonus amounts, eligibility conditions) are published separately and may be modified. Any attempt at referral fraud (creation of fake accounts, multiple registrations) results in the cancellation of the bonuses and may lead to exclusion.

6.7 Contributor Levels

Glint applies a system of four levels: Starter, Confirmed, Expert, Ambassador. Progression is automatic and based on objective criteria (number of validated Missions, validation rate, seniority). Demotion is possible if the criteria are no longer met. The system and its criteria may be adjusted by Glint, subject to at least 30 days' notice for substantial changes.

6.8 Contributor declarations and warranties

In addition to the undertakings set out elsewhere in these Terms, the Contributor declares and warrants, upon each interaction with the Platform and on an ongoing basis throughout the contractual relationship:

  1. Legal capacity and age. Being a natural person at least eighteen (18) years of age, with full legal capacity to enter into and perform these Terms.

  2. Identity and KYC. Having provided Glint and Stripe (KYC subprocessor) with identity information that is authentic, accurate, complete and up to date. Any false declaration, identity theft, falsified identity document or attempt to circumvent the KYC constitutes qualified fraud engaging the full civil and criminal liability of the Contributor.

  3. Single account. Holding only one Contributor account on the Platform. The creation or holding of multiple accounts by the same natural person constitutes fraud entailing immediate exclusion, the loss of earnings accumulated on the secondary accounts, and the repayment of unduly received bonuses.

  4. International restrictions. Not being domiciled, resident, or a national of a country or territory subject to an embargo or international sanctions (European Union, UN, OFAC, France), nor appearing on a list of sanctioned persons or entities.

  5. Content authenticity. Fully complying with the authenticity warranties of Section 6.2.3.

  6. Third-party rights. Having obtained, prior to any submission, the express written consent of any identifiable natural person appearing in the Submitted Content (image, voice, identifiable silhouette, conversation, personal document), as well as all filming or recording authorisations required for the places concerned.

  7. Minors. Never including in the Submitted Content any images, voices, data or content featuring a minor under 18 years of age, except in exceptional cases expressly authorised by the Brief with prior production of written parental authorisation. Any submission of content featuring a minor without authorisation exposes the Contributor to immediate reporting to the competent authorities (PHAROS, Public Prosecutor) and to permanent exclusion.

  8. Intellectual property. Holding all intellectual property rights over the Submitted Content and being entitled to grant Glint the licence set out in Section 10.3.

  9. No AI generation. Not having generated, augmented, transformed or simulated all or part of the Submitted Content by artificial intelligence, deepfake or any other automated process, unless expressly authorised by the Brief.

  10. Sensitive data. Not having included sensitive data within the meaning of article 9 of the GDPR (health, religion, racial origin, political opinions, sexual orientation, biometric identification data, etc.) in the Submitted Content, unless expressly authorised by the Brief with prior validation of the appropriate legal basis.

  11. Personal tax and social security compliance. Fully complying with the obligations set out in Section 6.4.5.

  12. General legal compliance. Using the Platform and carrying out Missions in strict compliance with the laws and regulations applicable in their country of residence and in any country where they operate (French Intellectual Property Code, French Criminal Code, French Civil Code, French Labour Code, GDPR, AI Act, foreign equivalents).

  13. No conflict of interest. Not using the Platform in the context of an assignment or contract that expressly prohibits it (non-compete clause, professional secrecy, duty of discretion linked to employment, etc.).

  14. Cooperation. Cooperating fully and in good faith with Glint in the event of an internal investigation (suspected fraud, third-party complaint, in-depth quality control), in particular by providing on request any reasonable evidence supporting the compliance of their Submitted Content (raw metadata, source files, proof of location, third-party authorisations).

  15. Ongoing information. Notifying Glint without delay of any substantial change affecting these declarations (change of tax status, loss of legal capacity, change of country of residence, etc.).

The essential nature of these declarations and warranties is expressly acknowledged by the parties. Any false declaration or any substantial breach of these warranties constitutes a serious breach of these Terms, justifying immediate termination, non-payment of the affected Content, the withholding of fraudulently acquired earnings, and the engagement of the Contributor's personal liability under Section 11.5.

6.9 Free Upload and Catalogue

In addition to Missions, the Contributor may spontaneously submit Content to Glint, outside of any Brief, with a view to its incorporation into the Catalogue (the "Free Upload"). Content thus submitted constitutes Catalogue Content. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 6.9, all the provisions applicable to Submitted Content (in particular Sections 6.2.3, 6.3, 6.8 and 10.3) apply by operation of law to Catalogue Content.

6.9.1 Scope and launch phase

In a first phase, Free Upload is limited to still images (photographs). Glint may extend Free Upload to other modalities (video, audio, multimodal capture) by notifying it via the Platform. Submission to the Catalogue is free, without quota, without exclusivity and without any volume commitment.

6.9.2 Applicable declarations and warranties

The Contributor declares and warrants, upon each Free Upload and on an ongoing basis, that each item of Catalogue Content complies with all of the authenticity warranties (Section 6.2.3) and the Contributor declarations (Section 6.8). In particular, the Catalogue Content:

  • was personally and exclusively created by the Contributor, who holds all rights to it;
  • was not generated, augmented or simulated by artificial intelligence;
  • does not contain any identifiable natural person (in particular no recognisable human face), nor any personal data of third parties (voice, document, screen or conversation of third parties);
  • does not contain any readable licence plate or other direct identifier of a third party;
  • does not feature any minor;
  • does not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties and does not contain sensitive data within the meaning of article 9 of the GDPR.

6.9.3 Qualification, reference code and traceability

Each item of Catalogue Content is subject to Glint's quality control and enrichment pipeline (automated checks, qualification assisted by artificial intelligence, and human review where appropriate). In this respect, Glint assigns each item of Catalogue Content a unique reference code and associates with it a quality score, a category and descriptive metadata. This code makes it possible to trace the Catalogue Content throughout its life cycle (in processing, qualified, rejected, catalogued, sold). The Contributor can view at any time, from their account space, the status and life cycle tracking of each of their items of Catalogue Content.

Automatic rejection rule. As long as Glint does not offer an anonymisation feature (blurring), any Catalogue Content containing an identifiable human face or a readable licence plate is automatically rejected and is not incorporated into the Catalogue. The reason for rejection is communicated to the Contributor so that they may, where appropriate, submit compliant Content. The other grounds for rejection provided for in Section 6.3 (insufficient quality, prohibited content, fraud) remain applicable. For any rejected Catalogue Content, no assignment is granted to Glint and the Contributor retains all of their rights (Section 10.3.5).

6.9.4 Remuneration upon validation (Free Upload)

Catalogue Content is remunerated upon its validation, and not upon its sale.

  • Amount. Each validated image gives rise to remuneration according to the valuation schedule published by Glint and displayed on the Platform (schedule modifiable by Glint for future validations, without retroactive effect), credited to the Contributor's Wallet at the time of validation. During the launch phase, only still images are valued; the other modalities (video, audio) do not give rise to remuneration until Glint has notified it via the Platform.
  • Independence from the sale. This remuneration is acquired independently of any subsequent sale. The sale of a Dataset including the Catalogue Content to a Client constitutes Glint's revenue, governed by the General Terms of Sale, and gives rise to no additional remuneration for the benefit of the Contributor. The same Content may be incorporated into several Datasets and sold to several Clients without new remuneration for the Contributor.
  • Rejected Content. Catalogue Content rejected at quality control is not remunerated (Section 6.9.3). If a validation already acquired is subsequently cancelled (re-examination, detected fraud), the corresponding remuneration is cancelled.
  • Payment. The remuneration is added to the Wallet and paid according to the terms of Section 6.4 (precondition of 100 validated files, threshold of 25 EUR, no withholding at source, annual summary and self-billing invoice). The tax and social security regime of Section 6.4.5 applies to it in full.

6.9.5 Withdrawal from the Catalogue

The Contributor may, at any time and from their account space, request the withdrawal of an item of Catalogue Content from sale. This withdrawal prevents any future sale of that Content, but does not affect Datasets already delivered to Clients in good faith before the withdrawal is taken into account, in accordance with Section 10.3.4. The valuation upon validation already acquired remains acquired by the Contributor; the withdrawal of Content from sale has no effect on it.


7. Prohibited conduct

You expressly undertake not to, and not to attempt to:

  • use the Services for unlawful or fraudulent purposes or purposes that undermine public order;
  • create, submit, transmit or distribute any content:
    • that is defamatory, insulting, obscene, pornographic, violent, hateful, discriminatory or that undermines human dignity;
    • containing images, personal data or information of third parties without their consent;
    • containing images of minors without the authorisation of the holders of parental authority and outside of an authorised brief;
    • infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties;
    • generated by artificial intelligence or modified to mislead Glint or its Clients as to the nature or origin of the content, unless expressly authorised by the Brief;
    • duplicated from Content already submitted (by yourself or by a third party);
  • create more than one Contributor account;
  • impersonate a third party or provide false information;
  • decompile, disassemble, reverse-engineer, copy or extract the code of the Platform, except within the strict limits of legal exceptions;
  • use bots, scrapers, or any automated system to access the Services;
  • circumvent or attempt to circumvent technical protection measures (DRM, captcha, rate limits, etc.);
  • access data that you are not authorised to access, or attempt to compromise the security of the Platform;
  • introduce viruses, Trojan horses, worms, malware, ransomware or any malicious code;
  • use the Services to train artificial intelligence systems or any other software competing with Glint, unless expressly authorised in writing;
  • carry out benchmarking for competitive purposes;
  • use the name, logo or trademarks of Glint without express authorisation.

8. Compliance, prohibited content and reporting

8.1 Combating unlawful content (LCEN, DSA)

Pursuant to the French LCEN (Law for Confidence in the Digital Economy) and Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), any User may report manifestly unlawful content to legal@glintdata.io (subject: "Content report").

The report must include: a precise description of the content, its location (URL, ID), the reason for the report, and the identity of the person making the report. Glint carries out a diligent review and takes appropriate measures (removal, suspension of the Contributor, reporting to the authorities).

8.2 Content involving minors

Any submission of content featuring a minor without the explicit authorisation of the holders of parental authority, or any child pornography content, will be immediately reported to the competent authorities (PHAROS, Public Prosecutor) and will result in the permanent exclusion of the Contributor.

8.3 Cooperation with rights holders

If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your intellectual property rights, contact legal@glintdata.io (subject: "Infringement notification") providing the evidence supporting your claim in accordance with the applicable procedures.


9. Personal data

The processing of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at glintdata.io/privacy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

As a Contributor, you expressly acknowledge and accept that:

  • the Submitted Content may contain personal data (your voice, your hands, your environment, your voice-over, your statements made during Screen+Voice sessions);
  • you grant Glint and its Clients a licence to use this data under the conditions of Section 10;
  • the main legal basis for the processing is your explicit consent, collected upon registration and confirmed upon each submission;
  • you may withdraw your consent at any time; this withdrawal applies to future Missions without affecting the licence for Datasets already delivered to Clients in good faith.

10. Intellectual property, licences and assignment of rights

10.1 Ownership of the Platform

All the elements making up the Platform (software, interfaces, designs, trademarks, logos, texts, databases, structure, graphic charter) are the exclusive property of Glint or are exploited under licence. Any reproduction, representation, modification, adaptation or exploitation, in whole or in part, without prior written authorisation is strictly prohibited.

10.2 Licence to use the Platform

Glint grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable and limited right to use the Platform strictly within the framework of these Terms and your status (Contributor or Client).

10.3 Licence granted by the Contributor over the Submitted Content

VERY IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT AND LICENCE: please read carefully.

10.3.1 Ownership warranty

The Contributor declares and warrants that they hold all rights over the Submitted Content and that they have all the necessary authorisations (in particular from the persons depicted) to grant Glint the rights defined below.

10.3.2 Licence granted to Glint

Subject to the validation of each item of Submitted Content at quality control, the Contributor grants Glint, on a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable and free of charge (other than the agreed remuneration) basis:

  • the right to reproduce, adapt, translate, modify, enrich (including by artificial intelligence), incorporate into databases, store, archive the Submitted Content;
  • the right to distribute, communicate to the public, broadcast, make available, publish, exhibit, display the Submitted Content;
  • the right to commercialise, sell, rent, license, sublicense the Submitted Content and the resulting Datasets to Clients or third parties;
  • the right to transform the Submitted Content for the production of Datasets (compression, format conversion, anonymisation, blurring, segmentation, labelling);
  • the right to use the Submitted Content for the training, fine-tuning, testing and evaluation of artificial intelligence models, by Glint and by sublicensed Clients, within the limits of the GDPR consents collected.

10.3.3 Waiver of moral rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and recalling that under French law moral rights are in principle inalienable (article L.121-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code), the Contributor waives any moral right they may hold over the Submitted Content against Glint and its Clients (in particular the right of authorship, the right to respect for integrity, the right of disclosure), in particular the right to require attribution in the Datasets delivered to Clients.

10.3.4 Interaction with the GDPR

This licence does not remove the Contributor's rights as a data subject under the GDPR. The Contributor retains the rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability and objection as defined in the Privacy Policy, it being understood that the exercise of the right to erasure does not affect the licence over Datasets already delivered to Clients in good faith.

10.3.5 Reservation for Rejected Content

For Submitted Content rejected at quality control, no licence is granted to Glint and the Contributor retains all of their rights.

10.3.6 Special case of Catalogue Content (Free Upload)

The assignment and licence defined in Section 10.3.2 apply identically to Catalogue Content submitted by Free Upload (Section 6.9), subject to the following clarifications:

  • the assignment takes effect upon validation of the Catalogue Content; for any rejected Catalogue Content, Section 10.3.5 applies and no assignment is granted;
  • the assignment is granted on a non-exclusive basis: Glint may incorporate the same Catalogue Content into several Datasets and sell it to several Clients;
  • in consideration of this assignment, the Contributor receives the valuation upon validation under the conditions of Section 6.9.4, and not the remuneration per validated Content applicable to Missions;
  • the Contributor retains the right to withdraw an item of Catalogue Content from sale for the future (Section 6.9.5), without effect on Datasets already delivered (Section 10.3.4).

10.4 Feedback

Any feedback, suggestion, idea or comment ("Feedback") that you transmit to us becomes the property of Glint, which may use it freely, without consideration or attribution for your benefit.

10.5 Trademarks

"Glint", the Glint logo and the other distinctive signs of Glint are trademarks of Glint. Any use without prior authorisation is prohibited.


11. Liability, warranties and limitations

11.1 Limited warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, Glint excludes any express or implied warranty, in particular of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, subject to the statutory warranties applicable to consumers (in particular articles L.217-3 et seq. of the French Consumer Code for Contributors having the status of consumer, where applicable).

To the extent permitted by law, Glint is not responsible for the loss, alteration or temporary unavailability of Submitted Content resulting from a technical failure, a service interruption or an event of force majeure. It is for the Contributor to keep their own copy of the source files they submit.

11.2 Contributor liability

The Contributor is solely responsible:

  • for the quality, legality and origin of the Submitted Content;
  • for compliance with the rights of third parties (privacy, image rights, intellectual property);
  • for compliance with their tax and social security obligations;
  • for the tax, social security and other consequences of their status as an independent service provider.

11.3 Limitation of Glint's liability

11.3.1 Liability cap

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Glint's total cumulative liability under these Terms or in connection with the Services, for whatever cause, is capped at the amount of the earnings paid to the Contributor during the 12 months preceding the triggering event, or 500 EUR if that amount is higher. Glint's liability towards Clients in respect of the sale of Datasets is governed by the General Terms of Sale.

11.3.2 Excluded damages

To the extent permitted by law, Glint shall in no case be liable for indirect, intangible or consequential damages, including loss of revenue, loss of clientele, loss of data, loss of opportunity, damage to reputation, even if Glint had been informed of the possibility of such damages.

11.3.3 Gross negligence and wilful misconduct

The above limitations and exclusions do not apply in the event of gross negligence or wilful misconduct by Glint, nor where the law prohibits such a limitation (in particular personal injury and invasion of privacy). For Contributors having the status of consumer within the meaning of the preliminary article of the French Consumer Code, the limitations set out in this Section apply only to the extent permitted by article L.212-1 of the French Consumer Code.

11.4 Force majeure

Neither party may be held liable for a failure to perform its obligations resulting from a case of force majeure within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Civil Code, nor from an event beyond its reasonable control (failure of third-party infrastructure, cyberattack, regulatory decision, armed conflict, pandemic, natural disaster).

11.5 Indemnification by the Contributor

The Contributor guarantees, defends and holds Glint, its officers, employees, Clients and subcontractors harmless from any claim, action, damage, loss, reasonable cost or expense (including advisory and representation fees), penalty, administrative fine or judgment arising from:

a. a breach of the declarations and warranties set out in Sections 6.1, 6.2.3, 6.4.5 and 6.8 of these Terms;

b. an infringement of the rights of third parties by the Submitted Content, in particular:

  • infringement of the image rights, privacy or dignity of an identifiable person;
  • infringement of intellectual property rights (copyright, trademark, design and model, patent);
  • unconsented processing of personal data of third parties;
  • breach of professional secrecy or of a confidentiality obligation;
  • breach of a non-compete obligation entered into by the Contributor;

c. a breach of the Contributor's personal tax, social security or administrative obligations (in particular URSSAF reassessment, tax reassessment, administrative dispute arising from a misdeclared status, failure to register or personal fraud);

d. fraud, falsification, concealment or an attempt at such by the Contributor, whether concerning identity, Content, provenance, KYC, multiple accounts, referral or any other fraudulent conduct;

e. unlawful content under French law, the law applicable to the Contributor's country of residence, the GDPR or the AI Act, including content relating to minors, violent, discriminatory or hateful content;

f. a reclassification action of the contractual relationship as set out in Section 6.1, under the conditions and limits provided for therein;

g. a breach of this contract or of any other undertaking of the Contributor towards Glint.

Procedure. Glint notifies the Contributor without undue delay of any claim likely to engage this indemnification. The Contributor may not settle or acknowledge liability on behalf of Glint without prior written agreement. Glint may, at its discretion, conduct the defence itself at the Contributor's reasonable expense.

Duration. The indemnification obligation survives the termination of these Terms for the duration of the limitation period legally applicable to each type of claim.

Limits for consumer Contributors. These indemnification clauses apply within the limits of the mandatory provisions applicable to relations between professionals and consumers (in particular articles L.212-1 and L.241-1 of the French Consumer Code). A consumer Contributor cannot be required to indemnify Glint for amounts disproportionate to the breach found.


12. Suspension, exclusion and termination

12.1 Termination at the User's initiative

You may close your account at any time from your account space or by contacting support@glintdata.io. Closure results in the loss of access to your account, your profile data and your Mission history. The balance of your Wallet, equal to or greater than 25 EUR, will be paid to you according to the usual terms. Amounts below 25 EUR may be retained by Glint in the absence of an express request for payment by another means.

12.2 Suspension and exclusion by Glint

Glint may suspend or close an account, immediately and without compensation, in the event of:

  • breach of these Terms, the Privacy Policy or applicable law;
  • fraudulent conduct (including referral fraud, submission of non-authentic Content, identity falsification);
  • infringement of the rights of third parties (intellectual property, privacy);
  • repeated submission of rejected Content (validation rate below 50% over 3 consecutive Missions despite feedback);
  • decision of an administrative or judicial authority;
  • any other legitimate reason endangering the Platform, other Users or Glint.

12.2.1 Graduated policy for Contributors

For simple fraud and breaches, Glint applies a graduated policy:

  1. First incident: written warning;
  2. Second incident: temporary suspension of 7 days;
  3. Third incident: permanent exclusion;

with an exception for serious fraud (theft of Content, identity falsification, unlawful content), for which immediate permanent exclusion may be pronounced.

12.3 Effects of termination

In the event of exclusion of the Contributor:

  • access to the account is revoked;
  • ongoing Missions are cancelled;
  • pending payments are made within 30 days, except in the event of proven fraud: Glint may then withhold the sums corresponding only to the Content established as fraudulent following an in-depth examination and written notification to the Contributor stating the precise reasons; the Contributor has 30 days to contest this withholding in writing, with reasons and supporting evidence, failing which the withholding becomes final; the withholding may not exceed the amount corresponding to the fraudulent Content and may not be disproportionate within the meaning of article 1231-5 of the French Civil Code;
  • the licence granted to Glint over the validated Submitted Content already delivered to Clients remains fully in force.

12.4 Survival of certain clauses

Sections 7 (Prohibited conduct), 9 (Personal data), 10 (Intellectual property, licences and assignment of rights), 11 (Liability, warranties and limitations), 12 (Suspension, exclusion and termination), 14 (Governing law, mediation and jurisdiction) and 15 (Miscellaneous provisions) survive the termination of these Terms.


13. Amendments to the Terms and the Services

13.1 Amendments to the Terms

Glint may amend these Terms at any time. Any substantial amendment will be notified to the User by email and/or by in-app notification at least 30 days before its effective date, except for amendments required by a legal obligation or an urgent change (in which case the period may be shortened).

A User who does not accept the amendments must stop using the Services. Continued use after the effective date of the amendments constitutes acceptance.

13.2 Amendments to the Services

Glint may change, suspend or remove all or part of the Services without notice for technical, commercial or regulatory reasons, without incurring any liability. For substantial changes, Glint will make reasonable efforts to notify Users subject to reasonable notice.


14. Governing law, mediation and jurisdiction

14.1 Governing law

These Terms are governed by French law.

14.2 Mediation for consumer Contributors

Pursuant to article L.612-1 of the French Consumer Code, a Contributor having the status of consumer has the option to refer the matter free of charge to the following mediation service in the event of an unresolved dispute:

Médiateur de la consommation FEVAD 60 rue La Boétie, 75008 Paris https://www.mediateurfevad.fr

The consumer Contributor may also use the European online dispute resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

14.3 Jurisdiction

14.3.1 For consumer Users

Disputes are subject to the ordinary rules of jurisdiction, in particular, at the consumer's choice, before the courts of the consumer's domicile, the place of actual delivery, or the place of performance.

14.3.2 For professional Users (Clients)

Any dispute between Glint and a Client (professional User) relating to access to or use of the Platform falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Paris, notwithstanding a plurality of defendants, third-party proceedings or incidental claims, including for interim relief proceedings. Disputes relating to the sale of Datasets are governed by the General Terms of Sale.

14.4 Pre-litigation amicable resolution

Before any litigation, the parties undertake to seek an amicable resolution of their disputes by consulting with each other for a period of 30 days from the first written notification sent by one party to the other.


15. Miscellaneous provisions

15.1 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any document expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between Glint and the User relating to access to and use of the Platform, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communication, negotiation or agreement. The sale of Datasets to Clients is governed by the General Terms of Sale.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be void, illegal or unenforceable, that invalidity does not affect the validity of the other provisions, which remain fully in force.

15.3 No waiver

Glint's failure or delay in exercising a right or remedy under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.

15.4 Assignment

The User may not assign, transfer or subcontract their rights or obligations under these Terms without Glint's prior written consent. Glint may freely assign or transfer these Terms, in particular in the context of a sale, merger or reorganisation, subject to notification to the User.

15.5 Communications

Official communications between Glint and the User are made by email to the address associated with the account, or by post to the registered address. The terms and notifications are deemed received upon their transmission by electronic means.

15.6 Evidence agreement

The parties agree that any computer record made on Glint's servers, including connection, submission, validation and payment logs, shall be authoritative between the parties unless proven otherwise. The electronic signature is recognised as having the same value as a handwritten signature, in accordance with article 1366 of the French Civil Code.
