# Graunt — Marketplace License, Module A: Video and people on camera **Version:** 1.0 | **Effective:** October 31, 2026 | **Status:** Operational terms. **Governs:** Video content, its frames, stills and soundtrack, and any content that shows or records people who can be identified. Part of the Marketplace License (graunt.com/legal/marketplace-license) for content of this kind. --- ## 1. What this module covers This module applies to every listing whose content is video, to the frames, stills and soundtrack of that video, and to any content of another kind that shows or records people who can be identified. It adds to the Marketplace License; where it is more specific, it governs for this content. Words have the meanings the Marketplace License gives them. ## 2. What you may do with video Where the listing allows model training, you may decode, sample, crop, resize, caption, label, segment, embed and annotate the video, extract frames and clips from it, and use all of it, in whole or in part, for the purposes §2 of the Marketplace License names. Annotations, captions, embeddings and other derived data you make are yours, except to the extent they reproduce a recognizable portion of the content. You may generate synthetic video with models trained on the content unless the listing excludes synthetic data, and generated video may not depict a particular person shown in the content. You may detect faces in the content to blur, crop, count or exclude them, if you create and keep no measurement of a face that can identify a person and never compare a face across files; any other processing of face geometry needs a listing that declares Evidence on file with releases that consent to it in writing. The soundtrack is licensed with the video unless the listing says no audio, and the audio and voice module applies to it. Where the listing says no audio, you strip the soundtrack or do not use it. A listing priced by the hour sells the hours it states; the frames and clips you receive are what you bought, and an update of the listing does not add hours to your purchase. ## 3. No media use The Marketplace License grants no media use of video: you do not publish, broadcast, stream, display to the public, sell or distribute the content, its stills or its sound, or any recognizable portion of them, and you do not use a model to output them, unless the listing grants public use and then only to the extent it names. Where the listing grants public use, §3 and §7 of the Marketplace License say what public use never allows: the content stays inside what you made, editorial use keeps its meaning, and no person is shown in an offensive, embarrassing or endorsing way. Your staff and contractors may view the content to prepare, label, select and evaluate it. A preview clip or sample is licensed for evaluation only. ## 4. People on camera A listing whose content shows or records people who can be identified states their release status, as its seller declares it: Evidence on file, Seller attested, or Incomplete. Where the status is Incomplete, the people without a release appear only incidentally, such as passersby, and every person who is a subject of the content has signed one. An identifiable person under 18 appears only in a listing that declares Evidence on file, with a release signed by that person's parent or guardian. You do not use content that shows a person under 18 to make sexual or intimate content of any kind, or a digital replica of them, and the personal-information module's rules for children's data apply. A release collected on Graunt lets the seller license footage that shows the person for building and testing AI systems that learn from many people, non-exclusively, worldwide and without time limit, under the Marketplace License, with the uses no listing permits barred. A release covers use by your client under §6 of the Marketplace License where the listing allows a client. It grants no right to make a digital replica of the person, to simulate their voice or likeness, or to use their image or voice in advertising, and no listing term can add one. It is not consent to any use this module bars, and no public use the listing grants reaches a person beyond what that person's release covers. **What a release records.** Evidence on file means that the seller holds, for each identifiable person, a signed release that names the person, is dated, identifies the recordings it covers, and grants the uses the Marketplace License grants, including training and testing AI models, and that links the person to the files that show them. A release for a person under 18 is signed by a parent or guardian, and also by the minor where the law gives the minor that decision; it says that the footage is licensed to buyers through Graunt to build and test AI systems, takes that consent separately from consent to the recording, states how long the footage is kept, and tells the parent how to withdraw consent and ask for deletion. Where footage of a child under 13 was collected through a website or online service, the seller obtained the parent's consent by a method the United States children's online privacy rule accepts. **What you may not do with people.** Whatever the listing allows, you do not use the content to reproduce, imitate or simulate a person's face, body or voice, to clone their voice, or to make a digital replica or deepfake of them, and you do not make, tune or distribute a model, tool or feature whose primary purpose is to produce a particular person's likeness or voice; you do not use it to impersonate anyone or to make intimate content of anyone; and you do not use it to recognize or identify a person, to build, train or deploy a system that identifies a specific individual, to build or improve face recognition or other biometric identification, or to create face-geometry templates, voiceprints or other biometric identifiers. You do not build, train or deploy a system that sorts people by race or ethnicity, health, sex life or sexual orientation, religion or beliefs, political opinions or union membership from their face, body or voice, or that reads a particular person's emotions to monitor or assess them, and you do not try to contact, locate, track or profile anyone shown. You do not label the content with the names or identities of the people shown. Training a model on the content, so that it learns from many people, is not identifying any one of them; a model or feature that identifies, recognizes or reproduces a particular person is barred. If you nonetheless derive a biometric identifier from the content, you are its collector under the laws that apply, every duty those laws impose is yours, and you indemnify the seller for it. **When a person withdraws consent.** §7 of the Marketplace License says what you do when a person shown in the content, or a parent or guardian for a child, withdraws consent: the files that show them leave every use you start after Graunt tells you, and a model trained before then stays yours unless the law requires otherwise. The personal-information module applies to content that shows or records people. ## 5. Clip-level terms Where a listing's manifest records terms for a particular clip, such as an excluded subject, a lower clearance status, or people shown only in that clip, those terms apply to that clip, and the listing's terms apply to the rest. ## 6. Clearances the seller declares A listing states, as its seller declares, the clearance of third-party marks and logos, music and audio, events and venues, and private property that appear in the content. Where a clearance is declared as not all cleared, you use the content for the purposes the listing allows, and the Enterprise and Video License Addendum says what the seller does not warrant for that material. Marks and logos in the content are not licensed as marks. Where the content records a performance given under a union or guild agreement, the listing says so, and the Addendum says what the seller has done about that agreement; you owe nothing under it. ## 7. AI-generated content and the seller's warranties Each listing states, as its seller declares, whether its content is AI-generated: not AI-generated, partly AI-generated, or wholly AI-generated. A listing of video is real footage; edited, captioned or labeled footage is not AI-generated, and footage a model made or extended is not sold as video on Graunt. The Enterprise and Video License Addendum (graunt.com/legal/enterprise-video-addendum) sets out the seller's warranties and indemnity on every purchase of a video listing and every purchase that names a client. --- ## Version History | Version | Date | Changes | |---------|------|---------| | 1.0 | October 31, 2026 | Initial version, published with Marketplace License 2.0: what a buyer may do with video and its soundtrack, including face detection to blur, crop, count or exclude and no other face-geometry processing without consent; no media use, with the public-use limits of the License; people on camera, their release status, what a release covers and grants no right to (no replica, no advertising), what a release records (for a person under 18, the elements the children's privacy rules require), the uses no listing permits, including sorting people by sensitive traits, reading emotions, and contacting or tracking anyone, and what happens when a person withdraws consent; clip-level terms; the clearances the seller declares, including performances under union or guild agreements; AI-generated content and the Addendum. |
