6. Specific provisions for 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 one of employment, subordination or representation. The Contributor is free to accept or refuse any Mission, without imposed quota, without exclusivity, and without hierarchical control from Glint. Glint commits to: not imposing schedules, leaving the Contributor free to accept or refuse each Mission, not exercising hierarchical control, allowing concurrent service provision, and compensating 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 additional or primary income, in full knowledge of the non-salaried nature of the relationship;
- having full autonomy as to the organization of their time, the choice of Missions, the provision of competing services to other platforms;
- fully assuming the economic and organizational risks attached to their activity;
- being solely responsible for declaring their legal status (auto-entrepreneur, artiste-auteur, individual reporting 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 case of reclassification action. If the Contributor brings an action seeking to reclassify the contractual relationship as an employment contract, agency, or any other regime implying subordination, the Contributor undertakes to indemnify Glint for the entirety of reasonable defense costs (including counsel fees) and direct financial consequences, except where reclassification is finally pronounced by an enforceable court decision based on a material breach by Glint of its own non-subordination commitments set out in this article. This indemnification obligation applies within the limits permitted by the mandatory provisions of French employment 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, notably:
- transparency on matching and rating algorithms (art. 9);
- information of the Contributor on parameters considered by automated systems (art. 9);
- the Contributor's right to obtain a reasoned explanation and to challenge 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 related to the use of algorithmic systems (art. 8).
The Contributor may, at any time, request human review of a significant automated decision by writing to support@glintdata.io.
6.2 Performance of Missions
6.2.1 Mission Brief
Each Mission is governed by a Brief specifying: the nature of data to be collected, technical specifications, expected context, required metadata, GDPR constraints, payout per validated Content and deadline. The Contributor undertakes to strictly comply with the Brief.
6.2.2 Quality standards
The Contributor undertakes to produce Submitted Content compliant with the technical and quality standards published by Glint (notably: sharpness, framing, format, resolution, duration). Standards may evolve and are communicated for each Mission.
6.2.3 Authenticity
The Contributor declares, warrants and attests on their honor, upon each submission and on a continuous basis, that their Submitted Content:
- has been personally and exclusively created by the Contributor in connection with the Mission, at the declared date and location;
- does not come from third-party sources (image banks, 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 authorized by the Brief and according to its exact requirements;
- has not been submitted to another platform, transferred to a third party, nor used in any other commercial context;
- does not contain personal data of third parties (face, voice, license plate, personal document, third-party screen, third-party conversation, etc.) without the prior, express written consent of those third parties, obtained and kept by the Contributor;
- does not contain images, videos or voices of minors;
- does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights (protected works, prominently visible trademarks, protected designs, etc.);
- is not from captures made in locations subject to prior authorization (private sites, premises closed to the public, industrial sites, critical infrastructure) without the required authorization;
- does not contain sensitive data within the meaning of article 9 GDPR (health, religion, racial origin, political opinions, sexual orientation, biometric identification data, etc.) unless expressly authorized by the Brief and with appropriate legal bases.
Consequences of 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 retention by Glint of sums corresponding to fraudulent Content in the conditions of Section 13.3;
- immediate and permanent exclusion from the Platform in the event of serious fraud;
- reporting to the competent authorities where the facts may amount to a criminal offense (notably counterfeiting, fraud, forgery, invasion of privacy, harm to minors);
- the full and entire personal liability of the Contributor, in accordance with Section 12.7 (Indemnification).
6.3 Quality control
All Submitted Content is subject to quality control combining automated checks and human review. Glint has sole discretion over the conformity of each Submitted Content, in compliance with the Brief and published standards.
- Validated Content: triggers payment to the Contributor according to the applicable payout grid.
- Rejected Content: the Contributor is notified of the reason for rejection. Depending on the rejection, resubmission may be authorized (up to 3 attempts per file).
- Suspect Content (fraud): in-depth examination by Glint, possibility to request supporting documents from the Contributor, possible sanction.
6.4 Compensation
6.4.1 Payout
The Contributor is compensated only for validated Submitted Content. The payout grid is published by Glint and may vary depending on the nature of the Mission, the required specialization, and the Contributor's Level. Glint reserves the right to modify the payout grid for future Missions, with no retroactive effect.
6.4.2 Wallet and balance
Earnings accumulate in the Contributor's Wallet, denominated in euros. The Contributor can view their balance, mission history and withdrawal history from their area.
6.4.3 Withdrawal threshold and payment methods
- Minimum withdrawal threshold: €15
- Processing time: 48 to 72 hours from withdrawal request (target: near-instant payment via Stripe Connect)
- Payment methods: SEPA bank transfer; PayPal and Stripe depending on country availability
6.4.4 Fees
Any banking fees related to the transfer (especially 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.
6.4.5 Tax and social security regime
Exclusive personal responsibility of the Contributor. The Contributor is solely and fully responsible for:
- declaring and paying all taxes, levies, contributions, social charges and other withholdings applicable to earnings received via the Platform, in accordance with the laws of their country of tax residence and any other jurisdiction where they may be liable;
- the choice and declaration of their legal status (auto-entrepreneur, micro-entrepreneur, artiste-auteur, liberal profession, employee reporting incidental income, individual reporting incidental income, or any other applicable status) with the relevant authorities (URSSAF, tax services, foreign equivalents);
- registration and keeping up to date such registration with required social and tax bodies;
- compliance with legal thresholds (notably micro-entreprise turnover threshold, VAT threshold, regime-switch threshold) and any consequences in case of exceedance;
- providing Glint with accurate tax information (TIN, social security number, declared status, country of tax residence); any incorrect information engages the full liability of the Contributor;
- any dispute with their tax authority, social authority or third-party body relating to their Glint earnings.
The Contributor expressly acknowledges having taken note of the potential tax and social security consequences of their activity on the Platform and having consulted, where appropriate, a professional advisor. Glint is not required to provide personalized tax, social or legal advice to the Contributor.
Withholding by Glint where applicable. Where French law requires Glint to withhold at source (notably under the artiste-auteur URSSAF regime above €1,500 of cumulative annual earnings, or any other case provided by law), Glint applies the withholding and remits it to the competent authorities. This withholding is notified to the Contributor through the tax documents mentioned below. Withholding by Glint does not in any way release the Contributor from their own declarative obligations or from overall compliance of their activity.
Tax documents provided by Glint. Glint makes available to the Contributor:
- a payment receipt for each withdrawal;
- a statement of royalties (artiste-auteur status) or a self-billing invoice (micro-entrepreneur status, subject to the mandate of Section 6.4.6) issued monthly;
- an annual recap of amounts paid for the past calendar year, including where applicable the URSSAF artiste-auteur withholding certificate to be attached to the income tax return.
Glint's obligations to tax authorities. Pursuant to Directive (EU) 2021/514 (DAC7), transposed into French law by article 134 of the 2022 finance act, as well as article 240 (DAS2) and article 242 bis of the French General Tax Code, Glint annually declares to the tax authorities the required information (Contributor identity, amounts paid, fees withheld). The Contributor acknowledges this declarative obligation and expressly authorizes Glint to transmit such information.
Indemnification. In the event of any tax adjustment, audit, notice, sanction or judgment against Glint resulting from an incorrect tax or social declaration by the Contributor, an incorrectly declared legal status, or a personal breach by the Contributor of their tax or social obligations, the Contributor indemnifies Glint under the conditions set out in Section 12.7.
6.5 Exclusivity, competition and confidentiality
The Contributor is not bound by an exclusivity obligation toward Glint. They may perform competing services for other platforms or organizations, provided they:
- do not resubmit to a third party Content already submitted to Glint;
- comply with specific confidentiality obligations mentioned in certain Briefs (especially for field Missions, industrial sites, or Missions under specific NDA).
6.6 Referral program
Glint offers a referral program. The exact terms (bonus amounts, eligibility conditions) are published separately and may be modified. Any attempt at referral fraud (creating fake accounts, multiple registrations) results in cancellation of bonuses and may lead to exclusion.
6.7 Contributor Levels
Glint applies a four-level system: Starter, Confirmed, Expert, Ambassador. Progression is automatic and based on objective criteria (number of validated Missions, validation rate, seniority). Demotion is possible if criteria are no longer met. The system and its criteria may be adjusted by Glint, with at least 30 days' notice for substantial changes.
6.8 Representations and warranties of the Contributor
In addition to the commitments set out elsewhere in these Terms, the Contributor represents and warrants, upon each interaction with the Platform and on a continuous basis throughout the contractual relationship:
-
Legal capacity and age. Being a natural person at least eighteen (18) years old, with full legal capacity to enter into and perform these Terms.
-
Identity and KYC. Having provided to Glint and Stripe (KYC processor) identity information that is authentic, accurate, complete and up to date. Any false declaration, impersonation, falsified ID document or attempt to circumvent KYC constitutes qualified fraud engaging the full civil and criminal liability of the Contributor.
-
Single account. Holding only one Contributor account on the Platform. Creation or holding of multiple accounts by the same natural person constitutes fraud entailing immediate exclusion, loss of earnings accrued on secondary accounts, and refund of bonuses wrongfully received.
-
International restrictions. Not being domiciled, resident, or a national of a country or territory subject to embargo or international sanctions (European Union, UN, OFAC, France), nor appearing on a list of sanctioned persons or entities.
-
Authenticity of Content. Fully complying with the authenticity warranties of Section 6.2.3.
-
Third-party rights. Having obtained, prior to any submission, the written and express consent of any identifiable natural person appearing in the Submitted Content (image, voice, identifiable silhouette, conversation, personal document), as well as any required filming or recording authorizations for the locations concerned.
-
Minors. Never including in the Submitted Content images, voices, data or content featuring a minor under 18, except in exceptional cases expressly authorized by the Brief with prior production of written parental authorization. Any submission of content featuring a minor without authorization exposes the Contributor to immediate reporting to the competent authorities (PHAROS, French Public Prosecutor) and permanent exclusion.
-
Intellectual property. Holding all intellectual property rights in the Submitted Content and being entitled to grant Glint the license set out in Section 11.3.
-
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, except as expressly authorized by the Brief.
-
Sensitive data. Not having included sensitive data within the meaning of article 9 GDPR (health, religion, racial origin, political opinions, sexual orientation, biometric identification data, etc.) in the Submitted Content, except as expressly authorized by the Brief with prior validation of the appropriate legal basis.
-
Personal tax and social compliance. Fully complying with the obligations set out in Section 6.4.5.
-
General legal compliance. Using the Platform and performing Missions in strict compliance with the laws and regulations applicable in their country of residence and in any country where they operate (Intellectual Property Code, Criminal Code, Civil Code, Labor Code, GDPR, AI Act, foreign equivalents).
-
No conflict of interest. Not using the Platform in connection with a mission or contract that expressly prohibits them from doing so (non-compete clause, professional secrecy, discretion obligation tied to employment, etc.).
-
Cooperation. Fully and in good faith cooperating with Glint in case of internal inquiry (suspected fraud, third-party complaint, in-depth quality control), notably providing on request any reasonable evidence supporting the conformity of their Submitted Content (raw metadata, source files, location proof, third-party authorizations).
-
Ongoing information. Notifying Glint without delay of any substantial change affecting these representations (change of tax status, loss of legal capacity, change of country of residence, etc.).
The essential character of these representations and warranties is expressly acknowledged by the parties. Any false declaration or material breach of these warranties constitutes a serious breach of these Terms, justifying immediate termination, non-payment of the affected Content, retention of fraudulently acquired earnings, and engagement of the Contributor's personal liability under Section 12.7.
7. Specific provisions for Clients

In case of duly justified non-conformity notified within the 15-day period, Glint shall, at its discretion, either replace the non-conforming Content or refund the prorated price for the non-conforming Content.

Glint may, unless the Client expressly objects, mention the Client in its commercial communications (logo, quote) for reference purposes. The Client may withdraw this authorization at any time by written notice to legal@glintdata.io.
7.7 Performance for competing Clients
As Glint may run Campaigns for several Clients, some of whom may compete, the Client acknowledges that this plurality of engagements is inherent to the Platform's model and does not constitute a breach by Glint.

- the license granted to Glint on validated Submitted Content already delivered to Clients remains fully in force.
In case of Client termination:
- portal access is revoked;
- already-downloaded Datasets remain subject to the granted license, subject to full payment of sums due;
