Terms of Service

Effective date: February 15, 2022

WAIVER: Arbitration under these Terms of Service will take place on an individual basis − class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND DATA.AI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. 

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and data.ai Inc., a U.S. company, by itself and/or acting through entities that are legally part of the data.ai family of companies, including Bright Labs B.V. (“Bright Labs”) (those entities, the “Related Companies”), (data.ai Inc. and the Related Companies, collectively, “data.ai,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Bright Labs is part of a joint research program (“Program”) with data.ai, which operates the Bright Labs research panels. These Terms apply to your use of the Bright Labs data collection software (the “App”). The App you download and install on your device is a market research service and will collect and analyze data, as further described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy. The App allows you to participate in programs which allow you to accumulate points that can be redeemed to earn vouchers, coupons, gift cards or other incentives or rewards (collectively “Rewards”), subject to these Terms. The App is designed to allow us to better understand which advertisements are shown and which advertisers are promoting them on the timeline of your account to which you have given us access.  This data allows us to create market research and data analytics, which we use to help improve our products and services.

We ask you to review these Terms carefully. You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, the Bright Labs Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), and any applicable Additional Terms in order to use the App (defined below) products and/or services (collectively, the “Services”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not install, access or use the Services in any manner or in any form.

We will collect and use your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy shall prevail. 

Eligibility

Your participation in the App as a panelist is subject to data.ai’s prior validation. To validate your eligibility, data.ai will verify your use of ads in your social media timeline and confirm that the panel is available in a country that data.ai is supporting. The App is available to download at Brightlabsapp.com or other methods made available by data.ai from time to time. Once you have downloaded the App and data.ai has confirmed your eligibility, you agree to the continued compliance with these Terms. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to register to participate and we may set a higher minimum age if required in your country or our discretion. To remain eligible to participate, you must remain logged into your social media account. 

The Service is intended solely for your personal use. Employees of data.ai, its affiliates and of our cooperating partners and suppliers connected in any way to the operation of the Service and their immediate family are not eligible to participate.

The App is free to use. You must provide accurate, current and complete information when registering or claiming Rewards for the Service (“Registration Data”) including your valid credentials to your social media account, email address (and if different, your email address to receive Rewards) and you must maintain and update the Registration Data and any other information you provide to us. You agree not to provide inaccurate, misleading or false information in connection with your use of the Service. If information you have provided to us subsequently becomes inaccurate, misleading or false, you will promptly notify us of such change. We will use the Registration Data and any other data that we collect from you in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Participation is always voluntary and you may change your mind and opt out at any time. Participating may be limited to a specific number of persons. We also have a right to refuse your registration or deny your participation for any reason, including but not limited to any suspicious activity regarding invalid or false consent, if you provide any inaccurate information or if we have reason to believe that your registration or participation was in violation of these Terms at any time. Registration may be limited. For example, we may, at our sole discretion, offer the opportunity on a “first-come-first-served” basis only, or we may limit participation to a certain territory or countries or a small group of individuals, or we may require that you have had an account with us for a minimum period of time. 

To use the App and the Services, data.ai may, from time to time, require that you comply with additional terms, policies, and conditions, which will be made available via the App, or as otherwise provided to you in connection with the Services (“Additional Terms”).

Privacy

About the Rewards

We may, from time to time and as separately stated in the Service, provide you with Rewards for participating in the Services.

You agree and acknowledge that any errors or mistakes that may have been made can be corrected even if the Reward has already been received by you. 

Certain Rewards issuance options may include a transaction and/or administration fee where allowed by applicable law. In such cases, the administration fee will be applied to the Reward itself before you receive the applicable funds. We will attempt to credit your account with Rewards on a timely basis, even though there may be Rewards allocation delays from time to time due to circumstances beyond our control. 

You shall have the responsibility of ensuring that your Rewards are properly credited. Any claim for Rewards not credited accurately must be received by us within sixty (60) days of the completion of the applicable activity in the Service, otherwise such Rewards may no longer be valid or usable.

Where applicable, our obligation regarding delivery of Reward redemptions is satisfied upon shipping the selected redemption item to the email address you have provided with us in the Service as of the date of redemption. We are not responsible for lost or unclaimed Reward items. Once Rewards have been redeemed, they are no longer valid for any subsequent redemption and they may not be returned or refunded to your account for any reason. No extensions, cash refunds or other exchanges will be allowed for expired Rewards. All unclaimed Rewards will be transferred to the state of California, pursuant to the state’s unclaimed property laws.

We reserve the right to withhold from providing you with any Rewards in case we have reason to believe you have breached these Terms. In the event of your noncompliance, fraud or other inappropriate activity (as determined by us in our sole discretion), we may cancel or invalidate your account, registration and Rewards, deny redemption of your Rewards, or restrict, block, limit, and prevent your access to and use of the Services and, further, all Rewards shall be subject to forfeiture. 

Further, if your eligibility for the App is terminated by us, for whatever reason, all of your points that you can use to redeem Rewards will also be forfeited.

Choice of Law; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND DATA.AI TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM DATA.AI, INCLUDING WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

MOST CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY BY CONTACTING DATA.AI. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CONCERNS, WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS.  ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO BE SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION REQUIREMENTS IN THIS AGREEMENT MAY OPT-OUT WITHIN 28 DAYS OF ACCESSING THE SERVICES BY SENDING WRITTEN NOTICE OF THEIR REQUEST TO OPT-OUT TO legal@data.ai.

For purposes of this arbitration provision, you, on the one hand, and data.ai, on the other hand agree that all disputes, controversies and claims related to these Terms (including any controversies relating to the applicability, enforceability or validity of any provision of these Terms), the Services (including the Content), or any data.ai good or service (collectively “Disputes”), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration as described in this section, which may be initiated by you or us by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other.

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SERVICES, INC. (“JAMS”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN.  THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES OF JAMS.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the JAMS’s fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case data.ai will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs.  data.ai also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all arbitration costs imposed by JAMS.  Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.

The arbitration merits hearing shall be conducted in San Francisco, California, USA, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as the Terms’ other terms and conditions, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or any other provision of these Terms including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this arbitration provision or these Terms are void or voidable.  However, if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, then the court shall decide whether these Terms permit class proceedings.  For the avoidance of doubt, the court and arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of these Terms, including with regard to the class and representative waiver provisions. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall follow the applicable law.  The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit manifest errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs a manifest error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.  These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.  Case management and other hearings shall be heard via telephone unless otherwise agreed to.  The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from: (a) a violation of either party’s intellectual property rights in any manner; (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the United States Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (or any international equivalent); and/or (c) any claim for equitable relief; then you and data.ai agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in San Francisco, California, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts for such non-arbitrable disputes.  In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Disputes that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all Disputes shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual, non-class and non-representative basis.  You expressly agree that no other Disputes shall be consolidated or joined with your Dispute, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES, THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.

This Section regarding arbitration may not apply to users in the member states of the European Economic Area to the extent excluded under applicable local member state laws. 

Miscellaneous

Waiver

The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

Severance
