Questions companies ask before they license records
Vetrix Data Licensing pays an established company to license a de-identified copy of its operational records to a US-based AI data company. Your cost is $0. For US companies, payouts go up to $150,000. You get a yes or no within 3 days. The questions below are the program rules.

The program
These three cover what the program is and who does which step.
Vetrix runs the program from your enquiry through signing.

What does the Vetrix Data Licensing program pay a company for?
It pays for a license to a de-identified copy of the company's operational records. The licensee is a US-based AI data company, and the purpose is AI research. This is not a sale of the company. The copy is to train and test AI that helps people do their jobs. Never for marketing, and never sold as contact lists. Your cost is $0. Payouts go up to $150,000 (US pricing, 250+ staff at peak).
Which steps does Vetrix run, and which steps sit with the data partner?
Vetrix runs steps 1 to 3 and stays with you through the rest. Those early steps are the enquiry, the fit decision, and the read-only system check. The NDA and the licensing agreement are both signed with the data partner. Vetrix is not a party on either document. You see both before you sign.
Will we be told the data partner's name before we sign?
Yes. We tell you the data partner's name before you sign anything. The partner is a US-based AI data company. You sign the NDA and the licensing agreement with that company, not with Vetrix. The name is written in those documents. Read it before you sign the NDA, and read it again before you sign the license.
Eligibility
These three cover who can apply.
Does my company qualify to sell its data? Use the checker, or read the full rules.
Can a company that is still operating apply, or only one that is closing?
An active company can apply. A company that is winding down, acquired, or closed can apply as well. The program accepts all four of those statuses. Someone must still hold the right to license the records. Staff numbers, years of records, and daily use of the systems are separate tests. Status alone does not decide fit.
Does an acquisition on its own stop an application?
No. An acquisition by itself is not a bar. An acquired company can apply, and a company that has already closed can apply too. Someone must still hold the right to license the records. Data that belongs to a client or a former parent company has to be cleared before it can be included. You are not turned away for good while that clearance is open.
Is there a minimum number of staff and a minimum length of records?
Yes. The floor is 30 staff at peak, or 25 if most staff are in the US, and at least two years of records. The systems must have been used every day by real people. Trials or unused accounts do not count. A long history does not replace the staff floor, and a large staff does not replace the years. Both floors have to be met.
Money and timing
These four cover what it costs and when you hear back.
How much is my company data worth? Get the figure for your company's size.
What does it cost the company at each stage?
Your cost is $0 at every stage. Sending the form does not start a bill. A yes or a no does not start a bill. The read-only check does not start a bill. If you never sign, the cost is still $0. There is no stage at which the company is invoiced.
Who pays Vetrix's fee?
The data partner pays Vetrix's fee, not you. If no agreement is signed, nobody pays anything. The company is not invoiced for the enquiry, the fit decision, or the system check. The fee is what the data partner pays Vetrix when a license is completed. It is not a sum the company has to fund from its own cash before it is paid. The company sees the payment terms before it signs.
How is the company paid, and in which currency?
You're paid directly, on the terms in the licensing agreement. You see those terms before you sign. Payment is in US dollars. Payouts go up to $150,000 (US pricing, 250+ staff at peak). That figure is the top of the US range. It is not the fit decision, and it is not a figure every company is offered. The offer, when there is one, comes after the system check.
How long does the yes or no take?
Within 3 days of the enquiry. The answer in that window is a yes or no on fit. It is not an offer, and it is not a promise of the $150,000 US ceiling. The offer comes later, and only if the company continues to the read-only check. A yes on fit means the company can continue. It does not move money, and it does not license any records.
Data and privacy
These three cover what an enquiry collects and what it leaves out.
Is selling company data to AI safe? See what leaves each system, and what stays.
Read the Vetrix Labs privacy notice before you send the form.
Does sending an enquiry upload any company records?
No. The form takes details about the company. Nothing is uploaded, and no system is connected, until a later step you can refuse. Sending the form does not open a workspace, copy a file, or move a record. The read-only check is that later step. The six-step process shows how that check works, and you can refuse it.
Does the enquiry form collect personal details about our customers?
No. The form does not ask for customer or staff records. It asks for facts about the company and for the people Vetrix should contact about the enquiry. Personal details are removed before anything leaves your company. You can hold back anything else too. You approve each system before anything is shared. A later licensed copy is a different step, and it is not taken on this form.
Where is the notice that covers the details we send in the form?
It is the Vetrix Labs privacy notice. That notice covers the details you type into the form. We use no cookies and no analytics. While you fill in the form, your answers stay in your own browser, and they are cleared when you send. Retention and your rights are set out in the notice. Read that notice before you send the form.
The agreement
These three cover who signs. The license terms are on their own page.
Read the company data license agreement terms before anyone signs.
After a license, see what you keep, including full use of your records.
Who signs the NDA and the licensing agreement?
The company and the data partner. You sign both documents directly with the data partner, not with Vetrix. The NDA comes before the offer. The licensing agreement comes with the offer. You read both before you sign either one. The payment terms live in the licensing agreement.
Can the company keep using its own systems after a license?
Yes. You keep ownership of your data, and full use of it in your business. A license does not hand the systems over, and your staff keep working in the same tools. You still run the business in those same systems. You read the agreement before you sign it.
Does Vetrix sign the licensing agreement?
No. Vetrix is not a party to the licensing agreement. The two parties are the company and the data partner. Vetrix runs the early steps and stays available through signing. That role is coordination. It is not a signature on the license. If a document names Vetrix as the licensee, stop and ask. Vetrix is not the licensee.
Stopping and after
These four cover how you stop before you sign, and where the legal question lives.
Is it legal to sell company data to AI companies? That page answers the legal question.
If the fit decision is no, see how long enquiries are kept.
Can we change our mind before we sign?
Yes. Before the enquiry, close the page and nothing is sent. After the enquiry, email team@vetrixlabs.ai and the enquiry is deleted. During the check, disconnect the read-only link. Nothing has been transferred. After the NDA, you can decline the offer at no cost, and the NDA still protects both sides. Those four stops are all available before any licensing agreement is signed.
Can we stop after the agreement is signed?
The agreement's terms apply. Before signing, ask what it says about withdrawing, and about anything already trained. The earlier stops, from closing the page through declining an offer, apply only before you sign. Once the agreement is signed, the document you signed is what governs. No further right is promised.
What happens if the answer in three days is no?
Nothing is licensed, nothing is paid, and the enquiry that does not go ahead is deleted after 24 months. A no stops the process at the fit decision. It does not open a system check, an NDA, or an offer. No record is copied. If you want the enquiry removed sooner, email team@vetrixlabs.ai.
At which step does Vetrix recommend a lawyer reads the agreement?
At the signing step, before the company signs. The licensing agreement is with the data partner. We recommend your lawyer reviews it first. This is not a legal opinion, and it does not decide whether one company's situation is lawful. Bring the agreement to your own lawyer at that step. The law is explained on its own page.
