In VoxDash, data providers can attach Contracts to their data projects. Unlike Terms & Conditions, which are usually text‑based agreements, a Contract is a formal document—often a PDF—that outlines legal, commercial, or usage terms for accessing a dataset. Users may be required to review and accept this contract before they can download, view, or interact with the data. VoxDash logs every acceptance event, allowing data providers to maintain a complete compliance and audit trail. This section explains how contracts work, how acceptance types function, and how to view all users who have accepted a contract for each project.

Adding a Contract to a Data Project

Data providers can attach a contract during dataset setup or later through the File Manager.

You can add a contract in two ways:

  1. During Dataset Creation
    While adding a new dataset in the Data Provider Panel, you can upload a contract document (usually a PDF) in the “Contract” section of the form.
  2. Through the File Manager Table
    If T&C were not added initially, you can attach them later from the File Manager in the Data Provider Panel.

How Contract Acceptance Works

After a contract is added, data providers decide whether users must explicitly accept it before accessing the data or whether acceptance can be implicit depending on the project’s visibility settings.

1. Explicit Acceptance

Users must open the contract document, review its content, and actively confirm acceptance.
This is recommended when:
  • The data access has financial/legal constraints
  • The provider requires a signed or acknowledged agreement
  • More sensitive datasets are involved
Users cannot access the dataset until they accept the contract.

2. Implicit Acceptance

If a project is made public, VoxDash does not require users to manually agree to the contract. Instead:
  • The system logs access as an implicit acceptance
  • Users can view data immediately
  • No acceptance form is displayed
Implicit acceptance is suitable for open-access or low‑risk datasets.

Viewing Accepted Contracts (Audit Log)

VoxDash provides a dedicated Accepted Contracts page where admins can review all users who accepted a contract—explicitly or implicitly.

To view accepted contracts:

  1. Open the Data Provider Panel.
  2. Navigate to File Manager.
  3. Find the dataset you want to inspect.
  4. Click the menu icon (⋮) next to the project.
  5. Select View Accepted Contract.
You will be taken to a detailed Acceptance Table for that project.

Information Displayed in the Accepted Contract Table

Each row in the table represents one user acceptance record. The system displays:
  • Contract Name
    The title of the contract document attached to the project.
  • Version ID
    Each time you upload a new contract version, its Version ID changes. VoxDash associates each user acceptance with the correct version.
  • Accepted Email
    The email address of the user who accepted the contract.
  • Accepted Date
    The timestamp when the acceptance occurred.
  • Acceptance Type
    • Explicit: User manually accepted the contract
    • Implicit: System auto‑logged acceptance for public projects
This information is essential for auditing, compliance, and understanding who agreed to which contract version.

Searching Across Projects

At the top of the Accepted Contract page, a search bar allows you to switch between data projects without navigating back to the File Manager.
  • Type part of the project name
  • Select it from the results
  • View its contract acceptance records instantly
This makes it easy to perform quick compliance checks across multiple datasets. Learn more about Contract Setting
