1. Purpose and scope

1.1 Purpose

These General Terms of Sale (the "Terms") govern the sale, by GLINT, a French simplified joint-stock company (société par actions simplifiée, SAS) with share capital of 2,000 euros, registered with the Niort Trade and Companies Register 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 (the VAT franchise en base, or basic VAT exemption scheme), represented by its President, the company AIRAULT & CO (SAS, SIREN 103 077 202, Niort Trade and Companies Register) ("Glint", "we" or "our"), of Datasets produced through its human data collection infrastructure, to any professional client (the "Client").

Glint operates an infrastructure for the collection of paid human data, produced natively in compliance with the GDPR and accompanied by certified and signed provenance. The Datasets are intended for the training, fine-tuning, validation and testing of artificial intelligence models.

1.2 Scope

These Terms apply to any order of a Dataset placed by a professional Client acting for the purposes of its business (artificial intelligence research laboratory, model builder, company or organisation). They are not addressed to consumers.

In accordance with article L.441-1 of the French Commercial Code, these Terms constitute the sole basis of the commercial negotiation between Glint and the Client.

1.3 Acceptance

Any order entails full and complete acceptance of these Terms, to the exclusion of any other document and in particular the Client's general terms of purchase, which are unenforceable against Glint unless expressly accepted by it in writing. The fact that Glint does not, at a given time, rely on any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of its right to rely on it subsequently.

3. Contract documents and order of precedence

The Parties' commitments result from the combined reading of the following documents. In the event of a contradiction, they prevail in the descending order of priority below:

  1. the Order Form signed by the Parties, and its appendices;
  2. the Master Agreement, if any, and its signed amendments;
  3. these Terms;
  4. the accepted Quote.

By way of exception, the DPA prevails over all of the documents above for personal data protection matters only.


4. Ordering process

4.1 Brief

Every order is subject to a detailed technical Brief, jointly validated by the Client and Glint. The Brief defines the nature of the data, the volumes, the formats, the compliance constraints and the expected quality criteria.

4.2 Quote

On the basis of the Brief, Glint draws up a Quote specifying the scope of the Campaign, the price, the target delivery times and the main characteristics of the licence. Unless otherwise stated, the Quote is valid for thirty (30) days from its date of issue.

4.3 Order Form

The order is formalised by an Order Form, which refers to the Quote and to these Terms. The Order Form sets out in particular:

  • the purpose, volumes and schedule of the Campaign;
  • the price and invoicing terms;
  • the deliverables and acceptance criteria;
  • the duration, exclusivity and scope of use of the licence granted to the Client (Section 8).

4.4 Formation of the contract

The signature of the Order Form by both Parties, together with the payment of the deposit provided for in Section 5.2, constitutes firm and definitive acceptance of the order and is a condition for the effective start of the Campaign.

4.5 Modifications during performance

Any substantial modification of the Brief during performance (broadening of scope, change of specification, change of volume) is the subject of an amendment to the Order Form. Minor operational adjustments are handled by written exchange between the project managers designated by each Party.

4.6 Cancellation

In the event of cancellation of an order by the Client before delivery, Glint retains the deposit paid and invoices, pro rata to the Brief, the Services already engaged (Content already collected and validated, documented operational costs).

Glint may cancel an order in the event of duly justified impossibility of performance (in particular the unavailability of an adequate panel of Contributors, a new regulatory constraint). In that case, Glint fully refunds the deposit to the Client, without any other compensation.


5. Price and payment

5.1 Price

Prices are stated in euros. They are exclusive of tax. Glint falls under the VAT franchise en base scheme (basic VAT exemption scheme, article 293 B of the French General Tax Code): no VAT is charged and the statement "VAT not applicable, art. 293 B of the CGI" appears on invoices. As a result, the amounts exclusive of tax and inclusive of all taxes are identical.

The price of a Campaign may comprise a unit price per validated Content or a lump sum price, any set-up fees, and any additional service fees (expert annotation, specific compliance audit), in accordance with the terms of the Order Form.

5.2 Payment terms

Unless otherwise stipulated in the Order Form:

  • 50% on order, as a deposit, by SEPA transfer upon receipt of the deposit invoice. The deposit is non-refundable, except in the event of cancellation attributable to Glint. The operational start of the Campaign is conditional upon actual receipt of the deposit;
  • 50% on delivery, payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, by SEPA transfer.

Alternative terms (100% payment on delivery subject to sufficient guarantees from the Client, instalment payment for long-running Campaigns, payment by credit card for low-value orders, terms specific to the public sector) may be agreed in the Order Form.

5.3 Late payment

Any late payment automatically gives rise, without prior formal notice, to:

  • late payment penalties calculated at the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its most recent refinancing operation, increased by 10 percentage points;
  • a fixed indemnity for recovery costs of 40 euros per unpaid invoice (article D.441-5 of the French Commercial Code), without prejudice to additional compensation upon supporting evidence where the costs actually incurred are higher;
  • the immediate suspension of access to the Client portal (re-downloading of Datasets, support, future deliveries) until full payment.

The suspension relates exclusively to access to the Client portal and to future deliveries. It does not entail any retroactive revocation of the licence already granted over the Datasets previously delivered and paid in full.

5.4 Invoice dispute

Any invoice dispute must be notified in writing to Glint within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the invoice. Failing this, the invoice is deemed accepted. The Parties undertake to resolve any dispute amicably within a reasonable time.


6. Delivery of Datasets

6.1 Delivery terms

Delivery is carried out, depending on the maturity of the Platform, by secure download link, via the Client portal or by secure API. Each Dataset is delivered in pseudonymised form and accompanied by:

  • its metadata;
  • the signed Provenance Certificate documenting the traceability and compliance of the data;
  • a Campaign report (volumes delivered, validation rate, sources, compliance elements).

6.2 Delivery times

For each Campaign, Glint communicates a target delivery time, stated in the Order Form (as an indication, in the order of 14 days for standard Campaigns, 21 to 30 days for complex Campaigns). Delivery times are target times. In the event of a risk of delay, Glint informs the Client proactively and proposes a revised schedule. Any penalty for delay must be expressly stipulated in the Order Form.


7. Conformity verification

7.1 Verification window

The Client has a period of fifteen (15) days from delivery to verify the conformity of the Dataset with the Brief. Any non-conformity must be notified in writing to Glint within this period. Failing this, the Dataset is deemed accepted without reservation.

7.2 Replacement of non-conforming Content

In the event of non-conformity that is duly justified and notified within the fifteen (15) day period, Glint proceeds, at its discretion, either to replace the non-conforming Content or to refund, pro rata, the price corresponding to the non-conforming Content. This obligation constitutes the Client's sole remedy for non-conformity, subject to Section 11.


8. Licence granted to the Client over the Dataset

8.1 Scope of the licence

Subject to full payment of the price of the Campaign, Glint grants the Client, for each Dataset delivered, a licence that is:

  • non-exclusive, unless otherwise stipulated in an Order Form providing for an exclusive or semi-exclusive licence (Section 8.3);
  • worldwide;
  • perpetual, unless a fixed term is set in the Order Form;
  • transferable within the Client Group;
  • non-sub-licensable to third parties outside the Client Group, unless with Glint's prior written consent.

The licence takes effect upon full payment of the price. Until the price is paid in full, the Client has no right of use over the Dataset. The licence does not carry any right to re-identify the Contributors.

8.2 Scope of use

Unless an extended scope is agreed in the Order Form, the licence authorises the Client to use the Dataset for the following purposes:

  • the training, fine-tuning, validation, testing and evaluation of its own artificial intelligence and machine learning models and algorithmic systems;
  • scientific research and the development of products and services;
  • the production, improvement and commercialisation of products and services incorporating the models thus trained.

Any use beyond this scope (in particular the resale, redistribution, making available of the Dataset as such, or any other purpose) is excluded by default. Any such use must be the subject of a renegotiation and a price increase, formalised in the Order Form.

8.3 Exclusivity on request

An exclusive or semi-exclusive licence may be negotiated Order Form by Order Form, in return for a price increase and for a fixed exclusivity period. Where exclusivity is agreed, Glint undertakes not to market the Dataset concerned, or a substantially similar Dataset, to any third party during the exclusivity period set in the Order Form.

8.4 Provenance Certificate

Each Dataset delivered is accompanied by a signed Provenance Certificate. The licence terms (duration, exclusivity, scope of use) recorded in the Provenance Certificate derive from and conform to the Order Form. Failing any term set in the Order Form, the default value provided for in these Terms applies (in particular a non-exclusive and perpetual licence).

8.5 Restrictions

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Client undertakes not to:

  • resell, redistribute, or make the Dataset publicly accessible as such (in particular in the form of a dataset that can be downloaded or consulted by third parties);
  • use the Dataset for unlawful or discriminatory purposes or purposes that infringe fundamental rights;
  • attempt to re-identify the Contributors;
  • use the Dataset beyond the limits of the consents collected and documented in the Provenance Certificate, or in breach of the GDPR and the AI Act.

8.6 Trained models

The models, parameters, weights and all artefacts produced by the Client from the Dataset (trained models, fine-tunings, embeddings) remain the exclusive property of the Client, without any claim by Glint, subject to compliance with the restrictions in Section 8.5.


9. Intellectual property

9.1 Ownership of the Platform

All of the elements making up the Platform (software, interfaces, designs, trademarks, logos, texts, databases, structure, proprietary algorithms) remain the exclusive property of Glint or are exploited under a valid licence. The sale of a Dataset does not effect any transfer of ownership over these elements.

9.2 Content and underlying rights

The Content incorporated into the Datasets is licensed to Glint by the Contributors under the terms of its Contributor terms and its Privacy Policy. Glint holds all the rights necessary to produce the Datasets and to grant the Client the licence provided for in Section 8.

9.3 Feedback

Any feedback, suggestion, idea or comment transmitted by the Client to Glint in connection with the Services may be freely used by Glint to improve the Platform and the Datasets, without consideration or attribution.

9.4 Trademarks

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


10. Warranties

10.1 Glint's warranties

Glint warrants that:

  • it holds the rights and authorisations necessary to produce the Datasets and to grant the licence provided for in Section 8;
  • the Datasets are produced in compliance with the GDPR and the AI Act;
  • the Contributors' consents have been collected for the uses covered by the licence granted to the Client;
  • the Content incorporated into the Datasets has undergone quality control in accordance with documented standards;
  • each Dataset is accompanied by a Provenance Certificate documenting its traceability;
  • to the best of its knowledge, the Datasets do not infringe the rights of third parties.

These warranties are exercised within the limits of Section 11.

10.2 Client's warranties

The Client warrants that:

  • it has the legal and financial capacity to enter into and perform the order;
  • it uses the Datasets in accordance with these Terms and the licence granted;
  • its own systems and infrastructures apply security measures appropriate to the Datasets received;
  • the use of the trained models complies with the applicable legislation and the AI Act in the jurisdictions where it operates, and does not fall within the prohibited purposes within the meaning of article 5 of the AI Act.

10.3 Exclusion of other warranties

Subject to the warranties expressly provided for in Section 10.1, and to the extent permitted by law, Glint excludes all other warranties, express or implied, in particular of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.


11. Liability and limitations

11.1 Principle

Each Party is liable for the direct damage caused to the other Party by its fault, negligence or breach of its obligations, under the conditions of ordinary law.

11.2 Liability cap

To the extent permitted by law, Glint's total and aggregate liability under an order, on all grounds combined, is capped at the amount actually paid by the Client to Glint under the order in question during the twelve (12) months preceding the triggering event.

11.3 Excluded damages

To the extent permitted by law, Glint shall not be liable for indirect, intangible or consequential damage, and in particular for loss of revenue or margin, loss of customers or contracts, loss of or damage to data other than that directly related to the Services, loss of opportunity, or harm to reputation, even if Glint had been informed of the possibility of such damage.

11.4 Gross negligence and wilful misconduct

The above limitations and exclusions do not apply in the event of gross negligence or wilful misconduct (dol) by Glint, nor where the law prohibits their limitation (in particular personal injury and invasion of privacy).

11.5 Indemnification by the Client

The Client indemnifies, defends and holds Glint harmless from any claim, action, damage, loss, reasonable cost or expense (including legal counsel fees) and administrative penalty arising from:

  • a breach by the Client of these Terms, the Order Form, the Master Agreement, if any, or the DPA;
  • a use of the Dataset beyond the scope of the licence granted or contrary to the consents collected;
  • a breach by the Client of the GDPR, the AI Act or any other applicable regulation in connection with the use of the Dataset;
  • any attempt to re-identify the Contributors;
  • any action by a third party based on the Client's use of the Dataset.

11.6 Force majeure

Neither Party may be held liable for a breach resulting from an event of force majeure within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Civil Code, or from an event beyond its reasonable control (failure of a critical infrastructure operated by a third party, massive external cyberattack, regulatory decision upsetting the economics of the contract, armed conflict, embargo, pandemic, natural disaster). The affected Party informs the other without delay and uses its best efforts to resume performance. If the event of force majeure persists for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either Party may terminate the order concerned by written notice, without penalty.

11.7 Time limit to bring a claim

Any action or claim by the Client under these Terms, an order or the Services must, on pain of foreclosure, be brought within a period of twelve (12) months from the occurrence of the triggering event. The Parties expressly agree to this period pursuant to article 2254 of the French Civil Code, it being specified that it applies only between professionals and within the limits permitted by law.


12. Protection of personal data

The processing of personal data in connection with the sale of the Datasets is governed by the DPA entered into between the Parties, which prevails over these Terms for data protection matters only.

The Datasets are delivered in pseudonymised form. Glint alone retains the re-identification table and deletes the raw source data within a maximum period of ninety (90) days from delivery, under the conditions provided for in the DPA.

The Client undertakes to use the Datasets in strict compliance with the GDPR, the AI Act and the other applicable regulations, and not to attempt to re-identify the Contributors. Each Party is responsible for the compliance of its own processing. Glint provides, with each Dataset, the information necessary to enable the Client to document the traceability of the data used as input to its artificial intelligence systems.


13. Confidentiality

13.1 Confidential information

All information exchanged between the Parties in the context of the commercial relationship is confidential, whether oral, written or electronic, and in particular, on Glint's side, its proprietary methods, its provenance certificates and its individual pricing terms, and, on the Client's side, its technical Briefs, its ordered volumes, its purposes of use and its individual pricing terms.

13.2 Obligations

Each Party undertakes to keep the confidential information strictly confidential, to use it only for the performance of the order, to limit access to it to persons having a legitimate need and bound by an equivalent obligation, and to take reasonable protective measures.

13.3 Duration

The confidentiality obligation applies throughout the duration of the commercial relationship and for five (5) years from its end.

13.4 Exceptions

The confidentiality obligation does not cover information that is already public, already legitimately held by the receiving Party, communicated by a third party without a confidentiality obligation, independently developed, or whose disclosure is required by law or a competent authority, subject, in the latter case, to prior notice to the other Party where the law permits.

13.5 Confidentiality of the Brief and commercial reference

Glint preserves the confidentiality of the Brief and of the information disclosed by the Client. The Client's name is never disclosed to the Contributors without its prior consent. Unless the Client objects in writing, Glint may mention the Client as a reference (name, logo, quotation) in its commercial communications. The Client may withdraw this authorisation at any time by written notice to legal@glintdata.io.


14. Term

These Terms apply to each order from its acceptance (Section 4.4) and throughout the duration of its performance. Where the Parties have concluded a Master Agreement, the latter sets the duration of the commercial relationship.

The licence granted to the Client over each Dataset delivered and paid in full remains in force in accordance with the terms of Section 8 (perpetual by default, or for the fixed term set in the Order Form), regardless of the end of the commercial relationship.


15. Termination

15.1 Termination for breach

In the event of a serious breach by one of the Parties of its obligations, the other Party may terminate the order automatically, after formal notice that has remained without effect for thirty (30) days, sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. Termination for breach does not exclude the right to additional damages.

15.2 Immediate termination

The order may be terminated automatically, without notice or compensation, in the event of insolvency proceedings opened against one of the Parties, a material breach of the confidentiality or security obligations, a material breach of the DPA or of the mandatory provisions of the GDPR, persistent non-payment after two successive formal notices, or a decision of an authority prohibiting the performance of the order.

15.3 Effects of termination

As at the effective date of termination:

  • the sums owed to Glint for prior performance remain fully payable;
  • the licence granted to the Client over the Datasets already delivered and paid in full remains in force in accordance with Section 8, except where termination is pronounced for a serious breach by the Client of its licence obligations;
  • the obligations of confidentiality, intellectual property, data protection and jurisdiction survive for the durations provided for in the relevant clauses.

16. Miscellaneous provisions

16.1 Assignment and subcontracting

Neither Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations without the prior written consent of the other Party, except for an assignment to a company within its group or in the context of a total transfer of business, subject to prior written notice. Glint may use subcontractors to perform the Services, subject to compliance with the DPA for data protection matters, and remains liable for its subcontractors as for its own acts.

16.2 Entire agreement and severability

These Terms, together with the Quote, the Order Form, the Master Agreement, if any, and the DPA, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties on their subject matter. If a provision is held void or unenforceable, the other provisions remain in force, and the Parties negotiate in good faith a replacement clause reflecting their original intention.

16.3 Non-waiver

A Party's failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right does not constitute a waiver of that right.

16.4 Independence of the Parties

The Parties are independent contracting parties. No provision of these Terms may be interpreted as creating a partnership, an agency, a joint venture or an employment relationship between them.

16.5 Notices and agreement on evidence

Formal contractual notices (formal notice, termination) are sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by email with acknowledgement of receipt, with a copy to legal@glintdata.io for Glint. The Parties agree that the computer records made on Glint's servers (connection logs, orders, deliveries, payments) are authoritative between them unless proven otherwise. An electronic signature compliant with Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (eIDAS) has the same value as a handwritten signature, in accordance with article 1366 of the French Civil Code.


17. Governing law, amicable resolution and jurisdiction

17.1 Governing law

These Terms and any order arising from them are subject to French law.

17.2 Amicable resolution

Before any litigation, the Parties undertake to seek an amicable resolution of their dispute for a period of thirty (30) days from the first written notice sent by one of the Parties to the other.

17.3 Exclusive jurisdiction

Failing amicable resolution, any dispute relating to these Terms or to an order, to their validity, interpretation, performance or termination, is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Paris, notwithstanding a plurality of defendants, third-party proceedings or incidental claims, including in interim relief and urgent proceedings.
