Terms of Service
Drafted 2026-08-13 · Revised 2026-08-14 · Status: draft, not in force
What this means. This is published for transparency and review. It is not yet a binding agreement, and nothing here is an offer capable of acceptance.
What happens next. It binds when the founders and counsel sign it off and this block is removed. Items marked Founder decision are deliberately unfinished rather than invented — a placeholder that admits it is one beats boilerplate pretending to be a decision nobody made.
Three kinds of people deal with FourthHuman: Capture Partners who record and are paid for egocentric footage, Commissioning labs that commission and buy training data, and visitors to this site. These terms state what each can expect from us and what we ask in return — in plain language, because a term someone cannot understand is not agreement, it is ambush.
1. For Capture Partners
1.1 Pay — published, not negotiated per person
We pay ₹250–400 per hour of accepted capture, via UPI, on QA approval. The range is published here and on the recruitment page; the rate for a specific brief is stated in that brief before you accept it. If a clip fails automated QA, the rejection reason is recorded and visible to you — Founder decision whether partial payment applies to borderline rejections.
1.2 Consent — granted per task, withdrawable always
You consent per recording task, before capture, and the consent is written to an append-only ledger you can inspect — see how the ledger works. You can revoke any consent at any time, without giving a reason and without it affecting money you have already earned.
Revocation deletes. Revoking removes your footage and everything derived from it from our storage — including from dataset releases already cut — with the deletion recorded in an append-only log you can verify. Details and what minimally survives (the evidence of your withdrawal itself): Privacy Notice — your rights.
1.3 Rights in the footage
Founder decision the licence/assignment structure for accepted, paid footage, and what rights you retain, must be settled with counsel before the first cohort records. We will not bury it in fine print: whatever is decided will be stated here in one paragraph, in plain words.
1.4 Your responsibilities
- Record only where you have the right to be, and tell anyone who will appear in frame that recording is happening — our blurring protects faces, but consent to record a space is yours to obtain.
- Record real work, honestly — staged or duplicated submissions fail QA and repeated attempts end the engagement.
- Keep your account and payout details your own; we pay the account holder only.
2. For Commissioning labs
2.1 What you are buying, stated precisely
- Bespoke capture against your brief, delivered through a sample-before-scale flow: you approve a sample before we scale collection.
- Citable releases. Deliveries are cut as immutable, content-addressed releases — the release id is recomputable from the manifest, and a verification endpoint tells you at any time whether every clip in it is intact.
- Auditable provenance. Every clip carries a consent receipt you can check against the ledger. You get proof consent exists; you never get the person's identity.
- Honest labels. Model-generated fields are marked
derivedin the schema. We do not present model output as measurement, to you or anyone.
2.2 The deletion clause you must accept
A Capture Partner's revocation outranks your citation. If consent behind a delivered clip is revoked, we delete it from our storage, the affected release reports itself degraded, and you are contractually required to delete your copies of the affected clips within a stated deletion window of our notice. Founder decision the length of that window. This clause is not negotiable, because the promise it protects is made to the person in the footage, not to us.
2.3 What we do not promise
We hold no third-party attestation — no SOC 2, no ISO 27001 — and will not imply otherwise in a contract. Warranty, liability caps, indemnities and governing-law venue: Founder decision with counsel, per engagement, before the first paid pilot. Indian law governs; nothing here excludes rights that Indian law does not permit excluding.
3. For everyone using this site
The site's public content is provided as-is for information. We work to keep every number on it reproducible from a committed artifact — our engineering validations describe how — but site content is not an offer capable of acceptance; engagements happen under written agreements. No third-party trackers run here. Don't attack the site, scrape Capture Partners' data, or probe the API beyond the documented public surface.
