Essentials

How to verify an AI data buyer is legitimate

By SourceX Editorial · Updated

Short answer

Check who they are, what they build, and whether they'll sign a license with clear use limits, security terms and payment terms. Never send samples before that.

Warning signs#

Pressure to send raw data, no written terms, vague uses, or payment that depends on future results.

What good buyers do#

Sign NDAs, accept use limits, and pay on clear terms.

How SourceX handles it#

SourceX starts with a short fit check that shares no data. If it fits, rights are reviewed, a copy is prepared with personal and confidential details removed, and your company approves exactly what leaves before anything is delivered under a signed license.
