VALIDATELY PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT; TERMS OF SERVICE

Please read this Validately Participant Agreement (this "Agreement") carefully. This Agreement is between you and UserZoom, Inc. ("UserZoom" or "us" or "we") and concerns your potential participation in research studies (each a "Study" and plural "Studies") conducted by us or our third-party customers, including Studies that we may conduct at the request of, and/or on behalf of, such third-party customers ("Customer(s)").

By indicating your acceptance in the "I Agree" field or otherwise registering as a potential participant in a Study, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into this Agreement. If you do not accept this Agreement, you may not register as a potential participant in any Study.

  1. Changes. We may change this Agreement by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting a revised Agreement through the UserZoom website currently located at https://www.userzoom.com, or the Validately panel website currently located at https://panel.validately.com. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Agreement incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes. By registering as a Validately panelist on the Validately Site (defined below), keeping your Validately Site account (“Account”) active, or participating in, any Study following any changes to this Agreement, you are indicating your acceptance of such changes; if you do not accept any such changes, you must not register for, and you must cease participating in, any Studies.

We may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue any Study; charge, modify or waive any fees required to participate in further Studies or any payments for participation in further Studies; or offer opportunities to some or all potential Study participants.
  2. Studies. Studies typically involve an analysis of one or more advertisements, animation videos, websites, topical interviews, software (including applications and programs), software prototype or other online or electronic elements (the "Study Elements"). Study participants are selected by us to remotely analyze the Study Elements via the Internet, by answering questionnaires and/or using the Validately Recorder.

    • reproduce, perform and display (publicly or otherwise), transmit, distribute, create derivative works based upon, modify, use and otherwise exploit your name, signature, voice, image, likeness, performance, movements, personal characteristics, gestures and mannerisms (collectively, the "Likeness") and any biographical or other information or materials concerning you or submitted by you in connection with a Study or Study registration, including any suggestions, improvements, comments, requests for changes or other ideas or recommendations (such information and materials, collectively, the "Materials") in any media (whether now known or developed in the future) and manner, in connection with the applicable Study; and
    • reproduce, perform and display (publicly or otherwise), transmit, distribute, create derivative works based upon, modify, use and otherwise exploit the Study Recordings, Likeness and Materials in any media (whether now known or developed in the future) and manner, in connection with the applicable Study.

    You agree that we will have sole discretion in determining the extent and manner of use of, and that we are not obligated to use, the Study Recordings, Likeness and Materials. You hereby waive any right of inspection or approval of the uses of the Recordings, Likeness and Materials, and you hereby waive any and all "moral rights" and any similar rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity that you may have in or to the Study Recordings or Materials, either now or in the future, anywhere in the world.

    15.3 Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that (1) any factual statements made by you in connection with any Study (including in the Study Recordings or Materials) are true to the best of your knowledge or based on reasonable research for accuracy, and that neither they nor the Likeness will infringe or otherwise violate the rights of any third party; and (2) you control all of the necessary rights (or have obtained all required permissions) to grant the rights granted herein, and there is no third-party obligation that interferes with or prevents you from granting the rights specified herein.

    15.4 Waivers and Release of Claims. You hereby waive and release us and our Affiliated Entities (as defined below) from any claim, action, suit or demand arising out of or in connection with the use or other exploitation of the Study Recordings, Likeness or Materials (including any rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, and any rights to royalties, fees and other compensation in connection therewith).

You agree that such waiver and release is binding upon your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

    The releases hereunder are intended to apply to all claims not known or suspected to exist with the intent of waiving the effect of California Civil Code Section 1542 (which states as follows: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her, must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.) and other analogous laws or legal principles of any jurisdiction requiring the intent to release future unknown claims.

    EXCEPT WHERE SUCH WAIVER IS PROHIBITED BY LAW OR DEEMED BY A COURT OF LAW TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY, YOU AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS PURSUED AGAINST US IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A STUDY WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

For the avoidance of doubt, Study Content shall include any and all feedback and suggestions for enhancement you provide in connection with digital properties (i.e., websites and mobile apps) displayed within a Study, as well as your usage data in relation to such digital properties, all of which we may use without any obligation or compensation to you.

    Except as expressly provided herein, nothing related to the Study shall be construed as conferring any license to you with respect to the Study Content, whether by estoppel, implication, waiver or otherwise, and you agree not to copy, reproduce, alter, reverse engineer, modify, create derivative works of, broadcast or publicly display or perform any Study Content without our prior express written permission.

    All trademarks, service marks and trade names appearing on any Study Content are our property or the property of the respective owners of such marks or names, and are protected by proprietary rights and laws. You agree not to defame or disparage us or any Customers and/or its or their trademarks, service marks or trade names, or any other aspect of any Study or Study Content.

  21. Third Party Materials. You acknowledge, understand and agree that neither we nor any Affiliated Entity has any control over or endorses, or is responsible or liable for, any Study Element or any other third-party materials.

Your use of any Study Element or other third-party material is at your own risk, and is subject to any additional terms, conditions and policies applicable to such third-party materials (such as terms of service or privacy policies of the Customer or other third party that makes such materials available). Additionally, the Site and/or Studies may contain links to third-party websites (“External Sites”). We do not endorse and are not responsible for the maintenance or content of any linked External Sites.

If you believe that copyrighted work has been copied in a manner constituting copyright infringement and is accessible via the IntelliZoom Site or otherwise through the Software, please notify our DMCA copyright agent (see information below).
