How to properly wind down a Starkworth Account Owner or Annotator agreement, including final payouts and communication best practices.
If you decide you no longer want to continue as an Account Owner or Annotator, the right first step is always to reach out through Contact or Support rather than simply going silent — your agreement is a legal document, and ending it properly protects both parties.
Any current Account Owner or Annotator considering ending their agreement, for any reason.
Ending an agreement properly — in writing, with a clear final payout confirmed — protects you from disputes later. Going silent instead leaves loose ends that can complicate things unnecessarily for both sides.
There's no universal fixed timeline — it depends on the specific terms in your agreement and any outstanding work or account wind-down required. Raise it early so there's time to handle it properly.
Any final payout owed to you is calculated the same way your regular payouts were — against your signed agreement's terms — not a separate "termination fee" structure.
Keep Support or Contact in the loop throughout, rather than only reaching out once, so nothing falls through during the wind-down.
Illustrative example — not a real customer case study
An Annotator decides to stop working with Starkworth after several months. They message Support to signal their intent, finish their current week's outstanding tasks, and confirm their final Wednesday payout in writing before their account access ends — a clean, documented close to the relationship.
No — you can choose to end your agreement; the important part is doing so properly and in writing, not the reason itself.
Yes — your final payout is calculated the same way regular payouts are, against your signed agreement's terms.
Check your specific signed agreement, since notice-period terms can vary by individual agreement.
Raise it directly and promptly through Support — most issues are far easier to resolve quickly than after time has passed.
Discuss this directly with Support — it isn't an automatic process and depends on your specific circumstances.
