These Voice Contributor Agreement terms (this "Agreement") are a binding contract between you (“Contributor," "you," or "your") and BeSimple, Inc. dba BeSimple AI (“Company," "we," or "us"). This Agreement governs your contribution of Voice Data and other Content to Company to the Pila8 platform (“Platform”).

THIS AGREEMENT TAKES EFFECT WHEN YOU CLICK THE "AGREE AND CONTINUE" BUTTON, CREATE OR ACCESS A CONTRIBUTOR ACCOUNT, SUBMIT CONTENT OR VOICE DATA, RECORD OR UPLOAD ANY VOICE MATERIALS, OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN COMPANY’S VOICE CONTRIBUTOR PROGRAM.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT CLICK “AGREE AND CONTINUE,” CREATE A CONTRIBUTOR ACCOUNT, SUBMIT CONTENT OR VOICE DATA, OR PARTICIPATE IN THE VOICE CONTRIBUTOR PROGRAM.

This Agreement and the Privacy Policy are each incorporated into Company's terms of service for the Platform (the "Terms of Service"). If this Agreement, the Terms of Service, and the Privacy Policy conflict, this Agreement controls, as governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

4. Intended Uses; Privacy

(a) Specific Intended Uses. This Section describes the purposes for which Company may exercise the License and does not grant any additional rights. You acknowledge that Company may use Content and Voice Data to create, train, test, validate, fine-tune, improve, evaluate, demonstrate, market, commercialize, license, sublicense, operate, and support voice, speech, audio, artificial intelligence, machine learning, synthetic media, text-to-speech, speech-to-speech, dubbing, localization, narration, accessibility, entertainment, advertising, customer support, research, analytics, safety, moderation, and related products, services, features, datasets, and technologies.

(b) Privacy. Company will process Personal Information, including Voice Data in accordance with this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, and applicable law. You acknowledge that Company Materials may be retained, used, licensed, sublicensed, commercialized, and exploited after they are created, including after termination of your account or this Agreement.

(c) Order of Precedence. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Some of its terms overlap with this Agreement, but the Privacy Policy does not supersede this Agreement except where applicable law requires otherwise. If the two conflict, this Agreement controls, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Please read and understand this Agreement before creating a Contributor Account or submitting Content or Voice Data.

(d) Customer Licensing and Sublicensing. As part of the License, and without limiting the sublicense rights granted in Section 3(b), you authorize Company to license, sublicense, and otherwise permit Customers and other third parties to access and exploit Company Materials, subject to applicable Customer terms and use restrictions.

5. Compensation

(a) Compensation, if any, will be provided only as expressly described in the applicable Task, or other written terms made available by Company (“Compensation Terms”). Compensation is provided on a per-Task basis and is earned only after the applicable Task and associated Recordings, Content, and Voice Data have been submitted and approved by Company. Company may review, accept, or reject any Task submission in its sole discretion, and no compensation is earned or payable for any submission that is not approved. Unless the Compensation Terms expressly state otherwise, you are not entitled to royalties, residuals, revenue share, usage-based payments, union payments, reuse fees, attribution, accounting, audit rights, or other compensation for Company’s or any Customer’s use, licensing, sublicensing, commercialization, or exploitation of Content or Voice Data, or related products or services. You are responsible for all taxes arising from any compensation paid to you.

(b) Adjustments and Clawback. Company may reverse, adjust, or withhold compensation for a Task submission if it later identifies an issue with that submission, including a submission that was approved in error or that does not comply with this Agreement or the applicable Task requirements. Company may apply any such adjustment as a negative credit to your Contributor Account balance. If Company suspects that any Recordings, Content, or Voice Data were generated, synthesized, cloned, or materially altered using artificial intelligence or other automated means, or were otherwise submitted in violation of this Agreement, Company may claw back any related compensation and suspend or permanently ban your Contributor Account.

(c) Appeals. If your Contributor Account is suspended or a submission or payment is rejected or reversed, you may submit an appeal through the process Company makes available. Appeals are reviewed manually by a Company reviewer, and Company will process eligible appeal requests in accordance with its policies.

6. Confidentiality

You may receive nonpublic information about Company, Customers, Company Materials, products, services, technology, datasets, business plans, or contributor programs (“Confidential Information”). You shall not use or disclose Confidential Information except as necessary to participate in the contributor program in accordance with this Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information that becomes public through no breach by you or that you lawfully receive from a third party without a duty of confidentiality. Company may seek injunctive relief for any actual or threatened breach of this Section.

11. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

12. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Recordings, Content, Voice Data, your Contributor Account, or your participation in the contributor program will be governed by and resolved in accordance with the "Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration" section of the Terms of Service, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and applies to disputes arising under this Agreement to the same extent as disputes arising under the Terms of Service. As described in that section, and with the limited exceptions set forth in it (including for small claims and for injunctive or equitable relief relating to intellectual property or proprietary rights), you and Company agree that disputes will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under the Federal Arbitration Act, that you and Company waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in any class, collective, or representative action, and that you may opt out of arbitration only in the manner and within the time period specified in that section. In the event of any conflict between this Section and the "Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration" section of the Terms of Service, that section of the Terms of Service controls, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Terms of Service that would otherwise give supplemental or additional terms precedence.

13. Additional Terms

(a) Company may make available additional program terms, campaign terms, compensation terms, recording instructions, community guidelines, acceptable use policies, privacy notices, consent forms, or other supplemental terms ("Additional Terms"). Additional Terms are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

(b) Changes. Company may modify this Agreement or any contributor program terms from time to time by posting updated terms, providing notice through your Account, sending notice by email, or otherwise making the updated terms available. Changes are effective when posted or as otherwise stated in the notice. Your continued participation in the contributor program or submission of Content or Voice Data after the effective date of changes constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

(c) Independent Contractor. You are an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, franchisee, or legal representative of Company. You are engaged on a non-exclusive, per-Task basis, are free to perform services for others (including competitors), and are not obligated to accept any Task or minimum volume of Tasks. You retain sole control over the manner, method, means, sequence, timing, and location by which you complete any Task, and you supply your own equipment, tools, and workspace. Any Task requirements or specifications made available by Company describe only the desired output, deliverable standards, and acceptance criteria for Recordings, Content, and Voice Data, and do not direct or control the manner or means by which you perform. You are not entitled to employee benefits, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, paid leave, or other employment-related benefits from Company. You have no authority to bind Company. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship, and this Section will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with your independent contractor status except to the extent applicable law in your jurisdiction mandates a different classification, in which case the parties will comply with such law without altering the remainder of this Agreement.

(d) Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Company's prior written consent. Company may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction.

(e) Notices. Company may provide notices by email, through your Account, by posting within the contributor program, or by other reasonable means. Notices to Company must be sent to Company using the contact method Company designates for legal notices.

(f) Severability; Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Company’s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any applicable Additional Terms and the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Company regarding the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral, regarding that subject matter.
