Constitution · Public v1.0 · Effective 2026-05-15

The SAMPARK Constitution, public edition.

Most companies don't publish how they make decisions. We do, because every buyer and vendor on SAMPARK has a right to know the rules they're agreeing to. This is the public-redacted version of our internal Constitution v1.0.1 — the 17 doctrines that govern the platform, the team, and our relationship with every counterparty.

This document is the public edition. The full internal Constitution covers operational specifics, vendor commercials, and personnel matters that we don't publish. The doctrines below — the ones a buyer or vendor would care about — are reproduced here verbatim from internal v1.0.1.

Article I — The Vendor Dignity Doctrine

A vendor on SAMPARK is treated as a peer, not a lead. Five rules implement this:

  1. 14-day cool-down. If a vendor has not replied to a buyer within 14 days, the buyer cannot re-contact that vendor through SAMPARK for the next 14 days. Repeated violations escalate to account suspension.
  2. Suppression list is binding. Any vendor may opt out of any buyer at any time, no reason required. The platform enforces this in real time.
  3. Anonymous reviews on both sides. Buyers review vendors; vendors review buyers. Both are anonymous + audited. We de-anonymise only on a lawful order, on a fraud/defamation trigger we have investigated, or with the consenting reviewer's permission.
  4. No incentivised reviews. We don't allow paid reviews, gifted reviews, or any form of review-gaming.
  5. No paid placement. Vendor ranking is by verification tier + sector fit + buyer-filter match. A vendor cannot buy their way to the top of a shortlist.

Article II — The Mediator-Only doctrine

SAMPARK connects buyers with vendors. SAMPARK is not a party to any engagement that arises between them. The buyer-vendor relationship is governed by whatever contract those two parties sign directly. SAMPARK's verification tier describes what we've checked, not a guarantee of vendor performance.

Full detail in our Terms of Service (/terms) §3.

Article III — The Customer Zero doctrine

Talpro India is SAMPARK's first customer. Every feature ships against Talpro's own staffing workflow before it ships to anyone else. If it doesn't work for us, it doesn't ship. Read the full Customer Zero story at /customer-zero.

Article IV — The KYC tier doctrine

Four verification tiers: Bronze · Silver · Gold · Blue Tick. Each tier carries specific documentary checks and re-verification cadence. We disclose what each tier means and what would trigger removal. We never claim a tier we haven't earned.

Article V — The DPDPA-first doctrine

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 is the floor, not the ceiling. SAMPARK is a Data Fiduciary for buyer-side data; we treat every Data Principal right under §11-§14 as binding and our Data Protection Officer ([email protected]) responds to every request within 30 days, free of charge.

Article VI — The honesty doctrine

Where Indian law is unsettled (DPDPA Draft Rules not yet notified; cross-border country list not yet published), we say so explicitly. Where a feature doesn't exist yet, we don't list it as "soon" with a dead link — we leave it off the menu entirely until it's real. The list of features intentionally not shipped is in our public CTO_PARKED.md backlog.

Article VII — The Indian-law primacy doctrine

When DPDPA applies, DPDPA wins — not GDPR analogues. When IT Act §65B audit-log rules apply, they're not optional. Governing law of every SAMPARK contract is Indian law; dispute resolution defaults to a Mumbai arbitration seat. We use Singapore SIAC only when both parties agree, and we'll always disclose what's standard versus what's a deviation.

Article VIII — The data-minimisation doctrine

We collect only the data necessary to run the platform. We never collect Aadhaar without explicit consent for a tier-specific KYC. We never collect banking details (Razorpay holds them). We never collect passwords (we use passwordless OTP). We never sell data. We never enrich data with external broker datasets. We never advertise.

Article IX — The honest-pricing doctrine

Three subscription tiers + one Custom track. No hidden setup fee. No bait-and-switch. GST shown separately. 14-day no-card trial on Growth + Enterprise. 7-day no-questions refund after first paid month. Pass-through fees (Razorpay, MSG91, Surepass) billed at cost and disclosed line-by-line.

Full pricing at /pricing. Refund matrix at /refund.

Article X — The "no fiction" doctrine (for ourselves)

We hold the team to the same honesty standard we hold buyers and vendors to. We never claim revenue we don't have, customers we don't have, certifications we don't have. ISO 27001 is "in progress, target Q4 2026" — not "we're ISO 27001 certified". SOC 2 is "Phase 3" — not "we have SOC 2". Every public claim is verifiable.

What's redacted from the public edition

The full internal Constitution v1.0.1 covers another ~17 doctrines on engineering quality, vendor commercials, personnel matters, sub-processor commercial terms, capital allocation, founder succession, exit terms, and a handful of confidential operational specifics. Those are not in the public edition because they touch trade secrets, individual privacy, or active commercial negotiations.

If you're a regulator, journalist, investor, or counsel-for-counterparty who needs deeper visibility, email [email protected] and we'll redact-share what's relevant under NDA.

The Constitution is a living document.

Each version is dated. Material changes get re-publication notice. If you spot something here that conflicts with your experience of SAMPARK in production, that's a bug — please email [email protected] so we can fix it.
