Terms of Service, Data Rights Assignment & Liability Waiver

1. Data Collection Description

As a remote data collector, you will use your own smartphone or designated mobile device and the designated application ("App") to record egocentric video and sensor data while performing everyday household tasks at your own residence. Data collected includes video, audio, and sensor readings from your phone's cameras, microphone, accelerometer, and gyroscope. Recordings capture your hands, surroundings, and activities from a first-person perspective. If the Company provides a headband mount or other accessory, it is provided solely as an irrevocable gift; the Company retains no ownership interest once delivered.

Example tasks include but are not limited to: folding and putting away laundry, loading the dishwasher, wiping down counters and appliances, sweeping or mopping floors, making beds, organizing kitchen cabinets, sorting and washing clothes, hanging up laundry, ironing, putting away groceries, taking out trash and recycling, tidying up toys and household items, washing dishes by hand, and cleaning windows and mirrors.

Participant represents that they have the legal right to record in their residence and that all household members have been informed of recording activities. Participant acknowledges that Work Product may be transmitted directly to the Company's client systems and that such clients may act as independent data controllers or processors with respect to such data. The Company does not control how client systems store or process Work Product once transmitted and may not store or maintain copies of all recordings.

2. Eligibility & Acknowledgment

By participating, you confirm that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you are legally competent to enter binding contracts; (c) you are a resident of the United States; (d) you have carefully read this entire Agreement; (e) you fully understand its terms and consequences; and (f) you voluntarily agree to be legally bound by all terms herein.

3. Complete & Irrevocable Data Rights Assignment

You hereby irrevocably assign, transfer, and convey to the Company all right, title, and interest in and to all recordings, data, and materials created during your participation ("Work Product"), including all intellectual property rights therein. This assignment is absolute, perpetual, worldwide, and royalty-free.

The Company may, without restriction or additional compensation:

• Use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, sell, license, sublicense, and otherwise exploit all Work Product
• Sell, license, or transfer Work Product to any third party for any purpose
• Use Work Product to train AI models, robotics systems, and any other technology
• Combine Work Product with other data without restriction
• Store and process Work Product indefinitely

You permanently waive all moral rights, rights of attribution, rights of integrity, and any similar rights in the Work Product under any applicable law.

Participant acknowledges and agrees that once Work Product is provided to third parties for artificial intelligence or machine learning training, the data may become inextricably integrated into such models, algorithms, or systems. Participant understands that it is technologically impossible to "un-learn," extract, or delete specific Work Product from a trained AI model. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Participant expressly waives any right to request the deletion, return, or destruction of Work Product once it has been transferred to a third party or processed into an AI model.

4. No Additional Compensation

Participant will be compensated at the rate specified in the applicable engagement terms or as communicated by the Company prior to performance of services. The Company may modify compensation rates prospectively upon notice to Participant. Only Work Product explicitly approved by the Company will be eligible for payment. This is your sole and complete compensation. You shall receive no royalties, residuals, or additional payments of any kind if the Company sells, licenses, sublicenses, or otherwise monetizes the Work Product.

5. Payment Process & Dispute Resolution

Compensation is calculated based solely on footage duration recorded and verified through the Company's application and subject to review for compliance with Company technical and quality standards. The Company retains sole and exclusive discretion, exercised in good faith and consistent with established technical and quality standards, to determine whether submitted Work Product meets such standards. Approval occurs only upon explicit confirmation by the Company; submission of Work Product does not constitute automatic approval.

Payment for approved Work Product will be issued periodically at the Company's discretion, but no later than thirty (30) days following approval. The Company reserves the right to determine payment cadence, including batching multiple approved submissions into a single payout. Payments will be issued via ACH or other designated payment method.

The Company will provide a payout summary to Participant via email or dashboard. Participant must notify the Company in writing of any discrepancy within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving the payout summary. Failure to dispute within this period constitutes irrevocable acceptance of the payment amount. Participant waives any claim for additional compensation not raised within such period. The Company shall have no obligation to pay for rejected, incomplete, corrupted, non-compliant, or otherwise unapproved Work Product.

6. No Guaranteed Hours or Assignments

The Company does not guarantee any minimum number of hours, tasks, assignments, or compensation. Participation is entirely voluntary and on a project-by-project basis. The Company may increase, decrease, suspend, or discontinue available work opportunities at any time without notice.

7. COMPLETE ASSUMPTION OF ALL RISKS

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATION, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

9. Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542

You expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

You understand this means you are releasing claims you may not yet know exist.

Upon request or termination, Participant shall delete any retained copies of Company materials in their possession. This confidentiality obligation survives termination of this Agreement.

14. Equipment & Tools

You certify that you are supplying your own smartphone or designated mobile device to perform these tasks. If the Company provides a headband mount or other accessory, it is provided solely as an irrevocable gift to facilitate your independent work. The Company retains no ownership interest in, or right to recall, said equipment once delivered. You are solely responsible for the maintenance and proper use of your own equipment.

18. Severability & Survival

If any provision is found unenforceable, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and remaining provisions remain in full force. If the liability waiver is found unenforceable in any respect, you agree the maximum enforceable limitation shall apply.

21. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, internet or infrastructure outages, government actions, or epidemics. This does not excuse Participant from obligations regarding Work Product already submitted.

22. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your participation and supersedes all prior agreements, representations, and understandings. No modification is valid unless in writing and signed by the Company.

23. Biometric Data & Prohibited Recordings

The Company does not use Work Product to identify specific individuals and does not operate facial recognition or identity-matching systems. To the extent applicable law classifies elements of recordings as biometric identifiers or biometric information, Participant expressly consents to their collection, storage, use, transfer, and processing for artificial intelligence training, robotics development, and other lawful purposes.

Violation of this clause is grounds for immediate termination without pay.
