("Wide Worlds," "we," "us," or "our"), a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 3774 Ashwood Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90066. Each of you and Wide Worlds is a "Party," and together the "Parties."

You accept these Terms by clicking to agree when you create an account. Your use of the Services is expressly conditioned on your compliance with them. You also acknowledge and agree to the Wide Worlds Privacy Policy, located at https://wideworlds.ai/privacy-policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL AGREEMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. SECTION 29 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS OF FIRST ACCEPTING THESE TERMS BY FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE IN SECTION 29.3. PLEASE READ ALL TERMS CAREFULLY AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

SECTION 9 DESCRIBES INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOUR PUBLIC SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE AND ACTIVITY, INCLUDING ACTIVITY THAT IS NOT PART OF A CAMPAIGN, AND EXPLAINS THAT WE MAKE CERTAIN OF THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE BRANDS WHOSE CAMPAIGNS YOU PARTICIPATE IN OR ARE CONSIDERED FOR. PLEASE READ SECTION 9 BEFORE CREATING AN ACCOUNT.

2. Eligibility and Age

2.1 Age requirement. The Services are available only to individuals who are at least 18 years of age.

2.2 Age confirmation at signup. When you create an account we ask you to confirm, by a separate affirmative action, that you are at least 18 years old. That confirmation is a representation and warranty by you, made to us, on which we rely in giving you access to the Services and in paying you. We keep a record of it, including the date and time you gave it.

2.3 No accounts for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to create an account, submit Content, connect a social account, or receive a Fan Payment. If you are under 18, do not create an account and do not use the Services.

2.4 Reporting and what happens next. If you believe a person under 18 holds an account, or if you are a parent or guardian of a person under 18 who has created one, write to us at privacy@wideworlds.ai. When we learn or reasonably believe that an account holder is under 18, we will close the account, withhold or reverse any Fan Payment, require removal of Content published in connection with a Campaign, and delete the account holder's personal information except what we are required by law to keep.

2.5 Misrepresentation of age. If you misrepresent your age you are in material breach of these Terms, and Section 2.4 applies. You are responsible for any loss we or a Brand suffer as a result.

2.6 Capacity and authority. You represent that you can form a legally binding contract under applicable law and that you are not barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.

3. The Services

3.1 What the Services do. The Services let you create Content, including Fan Edits assembled from Customer Media Assets and material generated with AI-assisted tools, in connection with a Brand's Campaign. Depending on the Campaign, you may be invited to publish that Content to Third-Party Platforms from your own accounts and may be eligible for Fan Payments based on its performance.

3.2 License to use the Services. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services for the purpose of participating in Campaigns. Any other use is prohibited and terminates this license.

3.3 Changes to the Services. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services or any feature at any time. Where a change materially reduces functionality you rely on, we will give reasonable notice where practicable.

4. Your Account

4.1 Account creation and acceptance. You create an account by completing our signup flow, which includes clicking to accept these Terms. We keep a record of your acceptance, including the version of these Terms presented to you and the date and time of acceptance.

4.2 Account security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@wideworlds.ai of any unauthorized use.

4.3 One account per person. You may maintain only one account. Creating multiple accounts to obtain additional Fan Payments, circumvent a suspension, or misrepresent authorship is a material breach.

4.4 Accuracy. You agree that the information you give us, including your name, contact details, social media handles, and payment and tax information, is accurate and that you will keep it current.

5. Compliance with Laws

You are responsible for your own compliance with these Terms and with all applicable law relating to your access to and use of the Services, including the generation, publication, and distribution of Content. We make no representation that the Services or any Content are appropriate in every country or jurisdiction. You are also responsible for complying with the terms of service and community guidelines of every Third-Party Platform you use in connection with the Services.

6. Acceptable Use

6.1 Prohibited Content. You agree not to use the Services to create, post, publish, or transmit any Content that:

(a) contains obscene or sexually explicit material, nudity, or profanity; (b) is abusive, inflammatory, denigrating, or disrespectful toward any group, individual, or institution, including any legally protected category; (c) promotes bigotry, racism, hatred, harm, or self-harm; (d) harasses any person or entity or causes damage or injury to any person or entity; (e) is false, fraudulent, defamatory, threatening, libelous, or otherwise tortious, criminal, or unlawful, including material harmful to children; (f) infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates the copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights of any person or entity; (g) contains any virus, malware, worm, disabling device, time bomb, Trojan horse, or other harmful code; (h) promotes or facilitates illegal activity; or (i) otherwise violates applicable law.

6.2 No deception. You may not use the Services or any Content to deceive or defraud any person, or to mislead any person about the nature, authorship, or source of any Content.

6.3 Campaign-specific rules. In connection with Campaigns you further agree that you will:

(a) use Customer Media Assets only to create Fan Edits within the applicable Campaign, and not download, copy, redistribute, or use them for any purpose outside that Campaign; (b) not modify, alter, or combine Customer Media Assets in a way that violates the Brand's campaign guidelines or our content controls; (c) comply with Section 8 on sponsored content disclosure; (d) not represent yourself as an employee, agent, or official representative of the Brand or of Wide Worlds; (e) not purchase, generate, or artificially inflate views, likes, follows, comments, or other engagement on any Content, and not use bots, engagement pods, click farms, or paid engagement services; (f) not make any claim about a Brand's product or service that is not expressly supplied or approved by the Brand, and not make any health, safety, efficacy, earnings, or performance claim of any kind; and (g) not create or publish a digital replica of any identifiable person, as described in Section 14.4.

6.4 Enforcement. We may remove or disable access to any Content or Service that violates this Section. We have no liability for taking, being unable to take, or declining to take such action, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to monitor or review Content.

7. Fan Edit Campaigns and Customer Media Assets

7.1 License from the Brand. For each Campaign you join, you receive from the Brand, administered through Wide Worlds, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the specific Customer Media Assets made available for that Campaign, solely to create and distribute Fan Edits on Third-Party Platforms in accordance with the Campaign's guidelines.

7.2 Scope and expiry. That license grants you no ownership interest in the Customer Media Assets, does not permit use outside the Campaign, and terminates on the earlier of the conclusion of the Campaign and your removal from it.

7.3 No clearance warranty. Customer Media Assets are supplied by the Brand. The Brand is responsible for holding the rights, clearances, and permissions necessary to make them available for fan-created derivative works and public distribution. We do not review Customer Media Assets for rights clearance and make no representation or warranty of non-infringement with respect to them.

7.4 Distribution right. Your right to publish a Fan Edit on Third-Party Platforms during an active Campaign is a limited distribution right only. It confers no other rights in the Fan Edit and ends when the Campaign concludes or your participation ends.

8. Sponsored Content Disclosure

8.1 You must disclose. Fan Payments are a material connection between you and the Brand. Every post in which you publish a Fan Edit or other Campaign Content must clearly and conspicuously disclose that connection.

8.2 How to disclose. Unless the Campaign guidelines specify otherwise, you must:

(a) include a clear written disclosure such as "#Ad," "Sponsored," or "Paid partnership with [Brand]" in the caption; (b) place that disclosure at the beginning of the caption, above any "more" or truncation cutoff, and not buried inside a block of hashtags; (c) also state the disclosure in the video or in audio where the platform and format allow; and (d) also enable the Third-Party Platform's own branded content or paid partnership tool.

8.3 The platform toggle is a floor. Enabling a platform's disclosure tool does not by itself satisfy your obligations. You must also provide the written and in-video disclosures described above.

8.4 Guidelines and acknowledgment. We will provide written disclosure guidelines at the start of each Campaign and may require you to acknowledge them before you receive Customer Media Assets.

8.5 Monitoring and consequences. We may review published Campaign Content for compliance. If we identify a non-compliant post we will notify you and give you a period to cure, ordinarily 48 hours. Fan Payments are conditioned on compliance with this Section. We may withhold payment pending cure, reverse a payment already made for a post that was never brought into compliance, and remove you from a Campaign for repeated non-compliance.

9. Profile Information, Performance Monitoring, and What Brands See

9.1 What we collect. We collect and periodically refresh the following about you, which these Terms call your "Profile Information":

(a) your social media handles and profile URLs on the platforms where you are active, including TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube, and Facebook; (b) your public profile details, including display name, biography text, and profile image; (c) your public audience and performance metrics, including follower counts, view counts, average and median views, engagement rates, and posting frequency and recency; (d) your public posts and their captions, including posts you did not create through the Services and posts unrelated to any Campaign; (e) information you provide to us, including your name, email address, self-reported rates, and specialties; (f) internal notes, tags, and categorizations that our team or our automated systems record about you and your work; and (g) Automated Assessments derived from the above, as described in Section 13.

9.2 Where it comes from. We collect Profile Information from you directly, from the public pages of Third-Party Platforms, from authorized Third-Party Platform interfaces where you have connected an account under Section 10, from third-party data vendors, and from Brands.

9.3 Monitoring is not limited to Campaign posts. You acknowledge that our collection under Section 9.1(c) and 9.1(d) is not limited to Fan Edits or to Campaign periods, and that we may review your public activity on Third-Party Platforms to assess your reach, recency, and fit for current and future Campaigns.

9.4 What Brands see. We make Profile Information available to the Brand for each Campaign you participate in or are considered for, through the Brand's dashboard and through reports we prepare for that Brand. What a Brand can see includes your name and handles, your public audience and performance metrics, your Campaign participation status and recruitment status, links to your public posts, our internal notes and tags about you, Automated Assessments about you, and your Fan Payment amounts. Where required to make payment or to comply with tax law, it also includes the payment and tax information described in Section 11.

9.5 Restrictions on Brands. Our agreements with Brands require them to use Profile Information only to plan, approve, run, and measure their own Campaigns on the Services, to keep it confidential, not to resell it or combine it with other data sets, not to retain it after their agreement ends, and not to use it to make any decision about employment, promotion, retention, credit, insurance, housing, or tenancy. We cannot guarantee a Brand's compliance, and Section 27 limits our liability for a Brand's acts.

9.6 Accuracy. Metrics and Automated Assessments are estimates drawn from public sources and automated systems. They may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. If you believe information about you is inaccurate, you may correct it in your account settings or request correction at privacy@wideworlds.ai.

9.7 Your choices. Section 7 of the Privacy Policy sets out your rights over the information described in this Section, including the right to see what we hold about you, to correct it, to have it deleted, and to opt out of our making it available to Brands. You may also disconnect a connected social account at any time under Section 10.4. Exercising some of these rights may make you ineligible for Campaigns where the Brand selects participants on the basis of verified reach, and we will tell you if that happens.

9.8 Public posts remain public. Content you publish on a Third-Party Platform is governed by that platform's settings and terms. Others may view, share, and interact with it independently of us.

10. Connecting a Social Account

10.1 Optional connection. You may choose to connect one or more Third-Party Platform accounts to your Wide Worlds account. Connection is optional, and we will tell you at the point of connection what information we will receive.

10.2 What we use it for. We use information obtained through a connected account to verify that you control the handle, to measure the reach and performance of your own Content accurately, and to calculate Fan Payments. We use it for the purposes described at the point of connection and for no other purpose.

10.3 Firewall. Information obtained through a connected account is used for your own account, your own reporting, and your own payments. We do not add it to the general profile information we make available about creators we have not worked with, and we do not combine it with information obtained from public collection or from data vendors.

10.4 Disconnecting. You may disconnect a connected account at any time in your account settings. Disconnection stops future collection through that connection. It does not delete information already collected, though you may request deletion under the Privacy Policy, and it may affect your eligibility for Campaigns that require verified reach.

11. Fan Payments

11.1 No guarantee. We make no guarantee that any Content will earn a Fan Payment or that any Campaign will be available to you. Amounts, rates, and eligibility are set by the Brand for each Campaign and are disclosed to you in the Campaign terms before you participate.

11.2 How payment is calculated. Fan Payments are calculated from the performance of your Campaign Content as measured by Wide Worlds. For each Campaign we will disclose, before you participate: the rate and rate unit, any per-post or per-Campaign ceiling, the measurement source for views and other metrics, the measurement window, the date on which metrics are finalized, and the payment schedule.

11.3 Revisions to metrics. Third-Party Platform metrics change and are sometimes revised downward. We calculate payment from metrics captured at the finalization date stated for the Campaign. We may recalculate a payment if we discover a measurement error or a platform revision before payment is made.

11.4 Independent contractor. You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between you and Wide Worlds or between you and the Brand. You are solely responsible for all taxes on amounts you receive.

11.5 Tax documentation is a condition of payment. Before your first Fan Payment you must provide the tax documentation we request. For United States persons this is a Form W-9. For individuals outside the United States this is a Form W-8BEN, together with a written certification of where you performed your services. We will not issue a Fan Payment until we have complete and accurate documentation.

11.6 Withholding and reporting. We may withhold from Fan Payments any amount required by law. Backup withholding of 24 percent applies where a taxpayer identification number is missing or incorrect or where you fail to certify. Payments to individuals outside the United States for services performed in the United States are generally subject to 30 percent withholding unless reduced by treaty. We will issue information returns where thresholds are met. We may also be required to withhold state tax on certain payments.

11.7 No tax advice. We do not provide tax advice. Consult your own advisor.

11.8 Clawback. We may withhold, reduce, or recover a Fan Payment if the associated Content violated these Terms, if the engagement it was based on was purchased, artificial, or fraudulent, if you misrepresented your authorship of the Content or your control of the handle it was published from, if you misrepresented your age, or if you failed to comply with Section 8.

11.9 Disputes. If you disagree with a Fan Payment calculation, contact us at payments@wideworlds.ai within 60 days of the payment date and we will review the calculation and respond in writing. Disputes about the amount, rate structure, or eligibility criteria a Brand set for a Campaign are between you and that Brand.

11.10 Not a sweepstakes or contest. Fan Payments are compensation for services, calculated on the performance of Content you create. They are not prizes and no purchase or chance is involved. Where a Brand chooses to operate a Campaign as a contest, sweepstakes, or prize promotion, that program is the Brand's, and Section 20 applies.

12. Intellectual Property in Content

12.1 Ownership. As between you, Wide Worlds, and the Brand, all right, title, and interest in and to Content you create through the Services in connection with a Campaign, including all intellectual property rights, vests solely in the Brand for that Campaign.

12.2 Assignment. To the extent any such right does not vest in the Brand by operation of law, you hereby assign it to the Brand. If applicable law requires an intermediate assignment, you assign it to Wide Worlds solely as the Brand's designee, and Wide Worlds will convey it to the Brand without further action by you.

12.3 Moral rights. To the extent any right of paternity, integrity, attribution, withdrawal, or other right commonly called a moral right cannot be assigned under applicable law, you irrevocably waive it and agree not to assert it against the Brand, Wide Worlds, or their designees.

12.4 Your license to use your Content. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and the Campaign guidelines, the Brand grants you, administered through Wide Worlds, a limited, personal, non-commercial, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use, copy, display, and distribute your Content in connection with the applicable Campaign.

12.5 Portfolio right. In addition, you may display your Fan Edits in a personal, non-commercial portfolio or reel, and identify the Brand and the Campaign accurately in doing so, provided you do not imply endorsement by the Brand or by Wide Worlds and do not license the Fan Edit to any third party. This right survives the end of the Campaign and may be revoked only for cause.

12.6 License to Wide Worlds. You grant, and to the extent necessary will cause to be granted, to Wide Worlds a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display the Content, in whole or in part, for the purposes of operating, maintaining, securing, and improving the Services, and for our marketing, promotional, portfolio, and showcase purposes across websites, applications, social media, events, and other channels. Section 13.2 governs the use of Content to train machine-learning models. This license covers the Content itself. It does not authorize use of your name, handle, profile image, or likeness in marketing, which requires your separate consent under Section 14.1(d), and where a Fan Edit depicts you, marketing use of that Fan Edit requires that consent as well.

12.7 Fan Payment confers nothing further. Receiving a Fan Payment confers no ownership, attribution, or licensing right in your Content beyond the licenses expressly granted in this Section.

12.8 Third-party rights. Rights in Content may be limited by and subject to rights held by third parties, including trademarks, logos, likenesses, musical works, and sound recordings. We make no representation or warranty of non-infringement, quality, accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose with respect to any Content.

12.9 Our rights in the Services. Wide Worlds and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Services and the software, systems, models, templates, and tools used to deliver them, excluding Content as set out above. No rights are granted by implication or estoppel.

12.10 Brand as third-party beneficiary. The Brand for each Campaign is an intended third-party beneficiary of Sections 6, 7, 8, 12, and 14 and may enforce them directly against you. Section 31.3 otherwise applies.

13. AI and Automated Processing

13.1 AI-assisted creation. Some features of the Services use generative AI. Generative models are unpredictable and we make no representation or guarantee about any output. You are responsible for reviewing any AI-assisted output before you publish it and for ensuring it complies with Section 6 and Section 8.

13.2 We do not train models on your information. We do not use your Content or your Profile Information to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop machine-learning models, and we do not license it to anyone else for that purpose. If that ever changes, we will give you notice and obtain your consent before it takes effect.

13.3 Third-party model providers. Some features send your Content, your Profile Information, or text about you to third-party providers of machine-learning models so that those models can produce an output for us, such as an edit suggestion or an Automated Assessment. We send only what the feature needs. Our agreements with those providers require them to use what we send solely to return the output we requested and prohibit them from using it to train or improve their own models.

13.4 Automated Assessments. We use automated systems, including large language models, to analyze your public content and metrics and to produce Automated Assessments, which may include a written summary of your work, tags describing your creator type and the fandoms you work in, an estimate of your reach, and an assessment of your fit for a particular Campaign. Automated Assessments are estimates. They are not verified, and they may be wrong.

13.5 Automated decisions and your right to human review. Automated Assessments may inform decisions about whether you are invited into a Campaign and at what rate you are paid. Where an automated system is used to make or substantially make such a decision, you may:

(a) ask us to explain, in plain language, how the system works and how its output affected the decision about you; (b) ask that the decision be made or reviewed by a person instead; and (c) ask us to correct inaccurate information the decision relied on and to reconsider the decision.

To make any of these requests, write to privacy@wideworlds.ai. We will not retaliate against you for making one. We will respond within 45 days.

13.6 Labeling. Where we present an Automated Assessment to a Brand, we identify it as an automated and unverified estimate.

14. Name, Likeness, and Publicity

14.1 Grant. You grant Wide Worlds and the Brand for each Campaign you participate in a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use your name, social media handles, profile image, and likeness, and to reproduce your Campaign Content, solely for the following purposes:

(a) operating the Services and administering the Campaign; (b) reporting Campaign results to the Brand; (c) crediting you as the creator of your Content; and (d) case studies, sales materials, and marketing that describe the Campaign, provided that use under this clause (d) requires your prior written consent, which you may give or withhold for each use.

14.2 Term. The license in 14.1(a) through (c) lasts as long as necessary for those purposes. Consent given under 14.1(d) lasts for the use consented to and may be withdrawn prospectively on written notice to legal@wideworlds.ai.

14.3 No other use. We will not use your name, handle, profile image, or likeness in any publicly accessible page, free trial, product demonstration, screenshot, or sales presentation without consent under 14.1(d).

14.4 No digital replicas. You may not create, and you may not use the Services to create, a digital replica of any identifiable person, meaning a realistic computer-generated representation of a person's voice or visual likeness in content in which that person did not actually perform, or in which their performance was materially altered. This applies to performers appearing in Customer Media Assets, to other creators, and to yourself.

14.5 No replica rights granted to us. Nothing in these Terms grants Wide Worlds or any Brand the right to create a digital replica of your voice or likeness.

15. Music and Third-Party Rights

15.1 Music. Musical compositions and sound recordings are separately licensed. Unless the Campaign guidelines expressly state that particular music is cleared for the Campaign's uses, you may use only music that a Third-Party Platform's own licensed audio library makes available for the use you are making, or music you own or have licensed for that use.

15.2 No sublicense. Nothing in these Terms grants you any music license. Customer Media Assets may include audio cleared for some uses and not others, and the Campaign guidelines govern.

15.3 Your responsibility. You are responsible for any music, footage, image, or other third-party material you add to a Fan Edit that was not supplied as a Customer Media Asset.

16. Removal of Content

16.1 Removal on request. We may require you to remove and stop using any Content if we reasonably believe it violates Section 6 or applicable law, including law relating to infringement or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property. On notice from us you will promptly remove any such Content within your control and stop using it.

16.2 Confirmation. If we ask, you will confirm removal and discontinuation in writing, and we may provide a copy of that confirmation to a third-party claimant or governmental authority.

17. Limitations and Restrictions

You agree not to: (a) disrupt or attempt to disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services; (b) gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems or networks; (c) disable, bypass, or tamper with any copy protection, security mechanism, or access control of the Services; (d) copy Content except as permitted in these Terms; (e) sell, resell, license, sublicense, distribute, rent, or lease the Services; (f) modify, adapt, alter, translate, or create derivative works of the Services; (g) frame or mirror any part of the Services or Content other than as permitted; (h) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or underlying ideas, algorithms, structure, or organization of the Services; (i) use the Services or their outputs to build a competing product or service; (j) use automated means to access, scrape, or collect data from the Services; or (k) use the Services in violation of Section 6.

18. Suspension and Termination

18.1 By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, if we reasonably determine that there is a security risk or threat to the Services or to any customer or vendor; that you are using the Services for harmful or illegal activity; that you are abusing the Services; that your use is likely to infringe a third party's intellectual property rights; that you are in breach of these Terms; that provision of the Services to you is prohibited by law; or that a vendor has suspended or terminated our access to something necessary to provide the Services.

18.2 By you. You may stop using the Services and close your account at any time in your account settings or by writing to hello@wideworlds.ai.

18.3 Effect. On termination your licenses under Sections 3.2, 7.1, and 12.4 end. Your portfolio right under Section 12.5 survives unless we revoke it for cause. Any Fan Payment you had already earned for compliant Content remains payable, subject to Sections 11.5 through 11.8. Sections 5, 6, 11.4 through 11.9, 12, 13.2, 13.3, 14, 15, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 31 survive.

19. Third-Party Platforms

19.1 Interoperation. The Services may include features designed to interoperate with Third-Party Platforms. To use them you may need to obtain access from the platform and agree to its terms. We cannot guarantee the continued availability of those features and may stop providing them if a platform limits our ability to interoperate.

19.2 No affiliation. The Services are not endorsed by, administered by, or associated with any Third-Party Platform, including those operated by X Corp., Meta Platforms, TikTok, Google, and Discord.

19.3 Publication from your own accounts. In connection with Campaigns you publish Content to Third-Party Platforms from your own accounts. We have no control over whether a platform permits, restricts, demonetizes, or removes your Content, and we have no liability to you for any such action.

19.4 Your compliance. You are solely responsible for complying with the terms of service and community guidelines of every Third-Party Platform on which you publish Content, including its branded content and sponsored content requirements.

19.5 WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION AND HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER IN RELATION TO YOUR USE OF OR AGREEMENTS WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY PLATFORM. YOU MUST COMPLY WITH ALL AGREEMENTS AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS THAT APPLY TO THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS. YOUR USE OF THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

20. Games and Contests

Wide Worlds is not a sponsor or promoter of any game, sweepstakes, contest, or prize promotion of a Brand or any other party. If a Brand operates such a program in connection with the Services, we are not responsible for administering it, determining winners, awarding prizes, or for the Brand's compliance with any law, rule, regulation, order, or agency interpretation applicable to it. Section 11.10 addresses the separate question of Fan Payments.

21. No Guarantee of Results

We make no representation or guarantee about the performance, reach, or engagement of any Content you publish, or about the availability of Campaigns. We are not responsible for and will not be liable for any Content you create, distribute, or publish, or for any use made of it. Your use of the Services is at your own risk.

22. Availability of the Services

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available, but the Services may be inaccessible or inoperable from time to time for reasons including equipment malfunction, maintenance, and causes beyond our reasonable control. We assume no liability for the availability of the Services on a continuous or uninterrupted basis.

23. Feedback

If you give us feedback or suggestions about the Services, you assign to us all rights in that feedback and agree we may use and exploit it without liability or payment. Feedback is treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

24. Copyright Complaints

If you believe Content or material on the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, notify our designated agent:

Designated Agent: Sam Schoonover, Chief Revenue Officer

25. Trade Compliance

The Services and related software and technical data may be subject to export control and economic sanctions laws administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, and other authorities. You will not export, reexport, or transfer the Services or related software or technical data to any prohibited country or territory or to any restricted entity or individual in violation of those laws. You represent that you are not organized or located in a sanctioned country or territory, are not a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person or owned, controlled by, or acting on behalf of one, and are not otherwise a prohibited party.

28. Indemnification

28.1 By you. You will indemnify and hold harmless Wide Worlds and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, cost, and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from:

(a) your breach of these Terms; (b) Content you created, distributed, or published, to the extent the claim arises from your own conduct rather than from the Customer Media Assets as supplied by the Brand; (c) your use of Customer Media Assets outside the scope of the applicable Campaign; (d) your failure to comply with Section 8; (e) music or other third-party material you added to a Fan Edit; or (f) your violation of any third-party right.

28.2 Exclusions. You have no obligation under Section 28.1 to the extent a claim arises from the Customer Media Assets as supplied by the Brand, from the Brand's campaign guidelines or instructions, from our own breach of these Terms, or from our own negligence or willful misconduct.

28.3 Procedure. We will notify you promptly of any claim for which we seek indemnification, give you a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense with counsel of your choosing, and not settle any claim in a way that imposes an obligation on you without your consent.

28.4 This Section survives termination.

29. Dispute Resolution

29.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to contact us at legal@wideworlds.ai with a written description of the dispute and the relief you seek, and to allow 60 days for us to attempt to resolve it. We will do the same before starting a proceeding against you. This step is a condition of arbitration, and the limitations period is tolled while it runs.

29.2 Arbitration. Except as provided in Sections 29.3 through 29.6, any dispute, claim, or cause of action arising out of or connected with these Terms, the Services, or any Content will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards and applicable rules, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. Arbitration will be held remotely or, at your election, at the JAMS location nearest to you. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

29.3 Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to 3774 Ashwood Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90066, and legal@wideworlds.ai within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms. The notice must state your name, the email address on your account, and that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms and will not affect your access to the Services or your eligibility for Campaigns.

29.4 Small claims. Either Party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration if it qualifies.

29.5 Public injunctive relief. Nothing in this Section waives, and no arbitrator has authority to decide, any claim for public injunctive relief. A claim for public injunctive relief may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction and will be stayed pending arbitration of any arbitrable claims.

29.6 Statutory rights not waived. Nothing in these Terms waives or limits any right you have under the California Consumer Privacy Act or the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act, including any right to a remedy or means of enforcement and any representative action right that cannot be waived. Any provision of these Terms that would have that effect is void to that extent.

29.7 Class action waiver. ARBITRATION UNDER THIS SECTION WILL BE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM ON BEHALF OF OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED PERSONS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS AND MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. This Section 29.7 does not apply to Section 29.5 or to any claim that cannot be arbitrated on an individual basis as a matter of law. If Section 29.7 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court and the remainder of this Section 29 will continue to apply to all other claims.

29.8 Fees. We will pay all JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any claim you bring, except that you will pay the portion of the filing fee equal to what it would cost you to file the same claim in the state court nearest to you. Each Party bears its own attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator awards them under applicable law.

29.9 Coordinated claims. If 25 or more claims of a substantially similar nature are filed against us by or with the assistance of the same counsel or coordinated counsel, the claims will be administered in sequential batches of 50 claims each, with all claims in a batch proceeding concurrently. The limitations period is tolled for every claim in the group from the date the first claim in the group is filed until that claim's batch is resolved. No award in any batch has precedential or binding effect on any other claim. After the first two batches are resolved, either Party may request a global mediation of the remaining claims, and both Parties will participate in good faith.

29.10 Jury trial waiver. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS.

29.11 Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of law rules. For any claim not subject to arbitration, and for any action to compel or stay arbitration or to determine arbitrability, the Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

29.12 Changes to this Section. If we change this Section 29 after you accept these Terms, the change will not apply to any claim that accrued before the change took effect, and we will give you notice and an opportunity to reject the change as provided in Section 30.

30. Changes to These Terms

30.1 Notice. We may change these Terms. For any material change we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email to the address on your account and by notice within the Services, and we will post the revised Terms with a new effective date.

30.2 Re-acceptance. For any material change, and always for a change to Section 12, 13.2, 13.3, 14, 27, 28, or 29, we will ask you to accept the revised Terms before you continue to use the Services.

30.3 Prospective effect. Changes apply only from their effective date. They do not apply to any claim that accrued, or to any Fan Payment that was earned, before that date.

30.4 If you do not agree. You may reject a change by closing your account before the effective date, without penalty. Fan Payments you have already earned remain payable.

30.5 Archive. We maintain a public archive of prior versions of these Terms with their effective dates at https://wideworlds.ai/legal/archive.

31. General

31.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Campaign guidelines applicable to each Campaign you join constitute the entire agreement between the Parties on their subject matter. Headings are for convenience only.

31.2 Order of precedence. If there is a conflict, the Campaign guidelines control as to Campaign-specific rates, dates, and creative requirements, and these Terms control as to everything else.

31.3 Third-party beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Section 12.10, these Terms confer no third-party rights or benefits.

31.4 Waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. Waivers must be in writing and signed by the waiving Party.

31.5 Severability. If any provision is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it will be revised to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.

31.6 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

31.7 Notices. We may give you notice by email to the address on your account or by notice within the Services. You may give us notice at 3774 Ashwood Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90066, and legal@wideworlds.ai.

31.8 Force majeure. Neither Party is liable for a delay or failure to perform caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including civil disturbance, epidemic or pandemic, natural disaster, war, act of terrorism, interruption of transportation or communications, or supply shortage. This does not excuse an obligation to pay.
