Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of modelcollabs.com and the ModelCollabs application (the "Service"), operated by Goldstain AI LLC("we", "us", "ModelCollabs"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

ModelCollabs provides identity verification and electronic release-signing tools. You can create release requests, invite recipients to verify their identity, and capture electronic signatures. Signed releases are delivered to your connected cloud storage (Google Drive or Dropbox) and a tamper-evident copy is retained for compliance and audit purposes. Consent videos are different: they are delivered only to connected cloud storage and we keep no copy — see "Consent videos — your cloud, your custody" below.

The Service offers an optional co-star consent video: a short recording you and your collaborator make together at a shoot, confirming on camera that you are shooting a scene together and that everyone consents. The finished video is converted to a standard MP4 and delivered directly into your connected cloud storage, filed alongside that shoot's release.

ModelCollabs does not keep consent videos.Once delivery to your cloud storage completes, our temporary processing copy is deleted. The only copies that exist are the ones in your connected cloud storage and, where you offered one, your collaborator's. What we retain is a record about the video: a cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256) of the exact delivered file and the version of the on-screen script that was read. The fingerprint lets a copy produced later from cloud storage be authenticated as the unaltered original; it is not the video and cannot be used to reconstruct it.

You are solely responsible for preserving your consent videos. Keep the connected cloud account active and do not delete or replace the delivered file. If the file is lost — because the cloud account lapses, the file is deleted, or the storage provider removes it — ModelCollabs cannot restore it, because we hold no copy. We recommend also backing the video up to a hard drive you control.

When you offer your collaborator a copy, it is delivered only into the connected cloud storage of their own ModelCollabs account — never as an email attachment and never via a public link. A collaborator who creates their account after the video was delivered may claim their copy; in that case we fetch the file from your connected cloud storage, verify it against the recorded fingerprint, and deliver it into theirs. If the file no longer matches the fingerprint or is no longer available, the claim is refused and no copy is delivered.

• You are responsible for the accuracy of any information you submit, including the recipient's contact information and any release content you generate.

• You are responsible for any record-keeping obligations applicable to your business (including, where applicable, 18 U.S.C. § 2257 obligations). The Service helps you capture and organize records; legal compliance is your responsibility.
• You will not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to harass any person.
