About DataVendor
What is DataVendor?
What is DataVendor?
A marketplace where teams license private data, code, and task data to AI companies that need
training and evaluation supply. Vendors list what they hold; buyers buy it or request what is
missing. See How DataVendor works.
Who should sell on DataVendor?
Who should sell on DataVendor?
Teams that hold private codebases, tasksets, evals, or RL environments, or raw material such as
enterprise documents and records. Domain expertise counts once it is captured as tasks or data
you can list. See What you can sell.

Money and trust
How does DataVendor make money on a sale?
How does DataVendor make money on a sale?
DataVendor keeps 20% of vendor earnings, assessed only when earnings are withdrawn; converting
earnings to credits is fee-free. Buyers pay a separate
transaction fee at checkout, shown before payment.
Who can see who on a sale?
Who can see who on a sale?
Buyers see the vendor organization on every listing. Vendors never see the buyer: bids, sale
records, and notifications carry no buyer identity, and delivery copies tasksets and
environments into the buyer’s team rather than sharing them from the vendor’s. This applies to
purchases, bids, and samples alike.
Opportunities are different; see
How DataVendor works.
Do I keep ownership of my data or code?
Do I keep ownership of my data or code?
Yes, by default. A sale licenses your assets for a commercial use rather than transferring
them; the exact rights depend on the agreement behind the listing. When you submit a listing,
you confirm that you own the supply and have the right to license it, so only list what is
yours to license.
Why does DataVendor ask for an NDA?
Why does DataVendor ask for an NDA?
Both sides may share sensitive information: your data or code, buyer requirements, and
commercial terms. The Mutual NDA protects that information and
clarifies what can and cannot be shared.
Can DataVendor pause transactions during the beta?
Can DataVendor pause transactions during the beta?
Yes. While the marketplace is in beta, purchases, invoicing, and payouts sit behind operational
switches that DataVendor can pause temporarily, for example during an incident or a payments
review. Anything already paid stays paid, entitlements remain, and approved withdrawals resume
when the switch re-enables.
What happens if a payment is disputed? Are there refunds?
What happens if a payment is disputed? Are there refunds?
All sales are final; there is no refund flow on either side. If a buyer’s bank reverses a
charge anyway, the buyer’s access is removed and the sale amount is clawed back from the
vendor’s wallet; a lost dispute additionally passes through a $15 dispute fee to the vendor.
