check-an-offer
Terms to settle
check
seller
Is it a real offer or an estimate?

Terms to settle
check
seller
Is any exclusivity paid for and limited?
An exclusive AI lab agreement with no end and no extra payment can stop you from licensing the same data to anyone else.
chk-003

Terms to settle
check
seller
Does the license say how long it lasts and what happens after?
A trained model keeps what it learned after a license ends, so ask about copies, passing the data on, and deletion.
chk-004
check-an-offer
Terms to settle
check
seller
Is it written down who removes personal information, how, and who pays?
It should happen before the data leaves your control, usually paid by the AI lab, with a cleaned sample you can review.
chk-005
check-an-offer
Terms to settle
check
seller
Are the payment timing and method clear?
Some offers pay at delivery, some over time, some only as the data is licensed on. Ask what is guaranteed.

Pressure to decide fast is a reason to slow down.
chk-009
check-an-offer
Signs to slow down
warning

chk-010
check-an-offer
Signs to slow down
warning
seller
No cleaned sample is shown to you before it goes anywhere.
You should review what leaves your control.
chk-011
check-an-offer
Signs to slow down
warning

Cleaning lowers risk but does not remove it; a clear method and a reviewable sample matter.
chk-012
check-an-offer
Signs to slow down
warning
