**Operator:** EgoVista SAS, registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under SIREN 106 489 735, having its registered office at 47 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France. Contact: [contact@egovista.app](mailto:contact@egovista.app) | Data protection: [privacy@egovista.app](mailto:privacy@egovista.app).

**Plain-language summary.** EgoVista is a European company that pays adult contributors to record short first-person videos (with a recent smartphone, GoPro or smart glasses), processes them through an EU-only AI pipeline (pseudonymisation, annotation), and sells annotated datasets to robotics research labs and AI foundation labs. Contributors may be resident anywhere in the world, provided a payment route exists to their country. These Terms govern your relationship with EgoVista as a Contributor. They define how we acquire a license over your videos, how we pay you, what we promise, and what you promise us. Please read carefully. By creating an account and uploading a Video, you accept these Terms.

## 1. Introduction and Acceptance

**1.1 About EgoVista.** EgoVista SAS (“EgoVista”, “we”, “us”) operates a platform at `egovista.app` through which adult contributors (the “Contributors”, “you”), resident anywhere in the world subject to Section 3.2, upload egocentric (first-person POV) videos. Videos accepted by EgoVista are processed through an EU-region AI pipeline that performs, in sequence, facial pseudonymisation (visual occultation of faces), skeletal-keypoint extraction, depth estimation, hand-object segmentation, and an action-labeling step, before the footage is incorporated into annotated datasets (“Datasets”) that EgoVista commercializes to professional buyers (“Buyers”), including robotics research laboratories, foundation model laboratories, and academic institutions. The facial pseudonymisation step is a security and data-minimisation measure applied before any external processing; the processed video remains personal data within the meaning of Article 4(1) GDPR. The specific tools and sub-processors used at each step are listed in an up-to-date, dated list at [egovista.app/legal/sub-processors](/legal/sub-processors).

**1.2 Scope.** These Contributor Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between EgoVista and the Contributor. They are complementary to the EgoVista [Privacy Policy](/privacy) v2.2, which governs the processing of personal data, and to the [Contributor Guidelines](/guidelines) v1.0, which state the requirements applicable to each Video and the reasons a Video may not be accepted. Both are incorporated by reference. In case of conflict, the Privacy Policy prevails on personal-data matters; these Terms prevail on intellectual-property and contractual matters; the Contributor Guidelines prevail on the technical and ethical requirements applicable to a Video.

**1.3 Acceptance and version.** By ticking the acceptance checkbox at account creation, you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Acceptance of these Terms is recorded at the time of signup. The current version (v2.2) is effective from 31 August 2026. EgoVista may amend the Terms; material amendments will be notified by email at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. The amended Terms apply prospectively only.

## 2. Definitions

- **“Acceptance”** means EgoVista’s positive decision on an uploaded Video following the review described in Section 8.
- **“Buyer”** means a third-party customer that licenses one or more Datasets from EgoVista.
- **“Compensation”** means the lump-sum amount paid by EgoVista to the Contributor under Section 6, calculated per hour of Usable Footage.
- **“Contributor”** means a natural person, 18 years or older, who has accepted these Terms and uploads Videos, and whose country of residence satisfies Section 3.2.
- **“Contributor Guidelines”** means the versioned technical and ethical guidelines published by EgoVista at [egovista.app/guidelines](/guidelines), currently v1.0. They form an integral part of these Terms.
- **“Dataset”** means an annotated, structured set of one or more Videos produced by EgoVista and licensed to Buyers.
- **“GDPR”** means Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
- **“License”** means the rights granted by the Contributor to EgoVista under Section 5.
- **“Mission”** means an individual acquisition request published by EgoVista, stating on its own page the requirements applicable to Videos submitted under it, including environment, length, minimum resolution and frame rate, mission code and opening movement. Mission requirements are fixed when the Mission opens and are not modified thereafter.
- **“Usable Footage”** means the portion of a Video in which the task is actually being performed with the Contributor’s hands in frame, as defined in the Contributor Guidelines. Set-up time, transit and inactivity are not Usable Footage.
- **“Video”** means a first-person POV audiovisual recording uploaded by the Contributor through the EgoVista platform.

## 3. Eligibility and Contributor Account

**3.1 Age and capacity.** To register as a Contributor, you must be at least 18 years old, or older where the age of majority in your country of residence is higher than 18, and you must have full legal capacity to contract. This condition admits no exception and no parental or guardian authorisation.

**3.2 Residence.** Eligibility is worldwide and is not restricted to any region. It is subject to two objective conditions, and to no others:

- (a) a payment route must exist from EgoVista to your country of residence through one of the payment providers listed at [egovista.app/legal/sub-processors](/legal/sub-processors); and
- (b) the payment must not be prohibited by any law applicable to EgoVista, in particular international sanctions regimes.

EgoVista does not exclude any country as a matter of policy. Where either condition is not met at a given time, EgoVista cannot pay for contributions from that country and says so on the [signup page](/signup) before any recording takes place. The up-to-date list of countries from which contributions can currently be accepted is published on that page. EgoVista adds countries to that list as payment routes become available, without amendment to these Terms.

**3.3 Account creation.** You must provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information at registration. You are responsible for the confidentiality of your credentials and for any activity conducted under your account.

**3.4 Verification.** EgoVista may, at any time, request additional documentation to verify your identity, age or residence. Failure to provide such documentation within a reasonable period may result in suspension of the account.

**3.5 One account per Contributor.** You may not create or operate more than one Contributor account. Multiple accounts result in immediate termination without compensation (Section 12.2).

**3.6 Place of processing, whatever your residence.** Videos are stored and processed within the European Union, irrespective of the country from which they are uploaded. Where a Contributor is resident outside the European Union, the transfers arising from his/her own access to the platform and from the execution of payment are described, with their legal basis and their safeguards, in the [Privacy Policy](/privacy) v2.2. Residence outside the European Union does not deprive the Contributor of the rights set out in Section 13.

## 4. The Contributor's Role and Independence

**4.1 Independent status.** The Contributor acts as an independent author and grantor of an intellectual-property license. The Contributor is not an employee, agent, partner, mandatary, or service provider of EgoVista. These Terms do not create any employment, agency or service relationship.

**4.2 No subordination.** The relationship between EgoVista and the Contributor does not entail any link of subordination within the meaning of French labour law (notably article L.8221-6 of the French Labour Code). In particular:

- (a) the Contributor freely chooses when, where, and how to record Videos, subject only to general thematic briefs which constitute requests for content, not work instructions;
- (b) EgoVista does not impose schedules, attendance, dress code, or method of recording;
- (c) EgoVista does not provide recording equipment; the Contributor uses his/her own iPhone, Meta Ray-Ban, GoPro, or equivalent device;
- (d) no quota of Videos is imposed and no volume of recording time is expected, whether per week or over any other period; a Mission is an open request for content that any Contributor may answer, once, several times, or not at all;
- (e) the Contributor may decide not to upload any Video without consequence, sanction, penalty, or impact on the relationship, including on access to future Missions.

**4.3 No exclusivity.** These Terms are non-exclusive. The Contributor remains free to record, license or sell videos to any third party, including competitors of EgoVista, subject only to the restriction that a given recording may be delivered once and once only, whether to EgoVista twice or to EgoVista and to a third party (Section 7.10). That restriction attaches to the individual recording, not to the subject-matter: the Contributor remains free to record the same task again and to license the new recording elsewhere.

**4.4 No captive clientele.** The Contributor does not develop a clientele of his/her own through EgoVista. EgoVista is the customer of the Contributor for the License, not an intermediary connecting the Contributor to end-users.

## 5. License Grant — IP Mechanics

**5.1 Object.** Each Video recorded by the Contributor may constitute a “work of the mind” (*« œuvre de l’esprit »*) protected by French copyright law under articles L.111-1 and L.112-2 of the French Intellectual Property Code (“CPI”), to the extent it satisfies the originality requirement. Without prejudice to such qualification, the Contributor grants EgoVista the License described in this Section over each Video. The License is granted as principal on copyright rights and, to the extent applicable and as a subsidiary basis, on any neighbouring rights, image rights, or sui generis database rights that may attach to the Video.

**5.2 Per-Video activation.** The License granted under these Terms is not, and shall not be construed as, a global assignment of future works prohibited by article L.131-1 CPI. Each Video constitutes a distinct, determinable and individualized work. The License attaches to each Video individually and becomes effective only upon Acceptance of that Video by EgoVista, as defined in Section 8. Prior to Acceptance, the Contributor may withdraw any uploaded Video at any time, without justification, by using the platform interface.

**5.3 Distinct enumeration of rights (article L.131-3 CPI).** For each Accepted Video, the Contributor grants EgoVista, on a non-exclusive basis, the right and license to:

- (a) **Reproduce** the Video, in whole or in part, in any format, on any medium, by any process, including digital storage, backup copies, frame-by-frame extraction, and creation of multiple derivative files;
- (b) **Adapt and modify** the Video, including without limitation: cropping, time-trimming, resolution adjustment, color correction, frame extraction, audio extraction, facial pseudonymisation (visual occultation of faces), pose estimation overlay, semantic segmentation, depth-map generation, and any other technical transformation required for incorporation into a Dataset;
- (c) **Translate** any spoken or written content captured in the Video;
- (d) **Incorporate** the Video, in whole or in part, into one or more Datasets;
- (e) **Distribute, transmit, make available, and communicate to the public** the Video and the Datasets containing the Video;
- (f) **Sublicense to Buyers** all or part of the foregoing rights, under license agreements entered into between EgoVista and each Buyer, including the right for Buyers to use the Video and Datasets to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or benchmark machine-learning models (including robotics foundation models);
- (f-bis) **Produce and license synthetic and simulated derivatives**, meaning data generated from the Video rather than extracted from it, including synthetic image or video sequences, simulated environments and trajectories reconstructed from the Video, and model weights resulting from training on the Video or on such derivatives. The Contributor acknowledges that a derivative of this kind is a distinct object which does not reproduce the Video and from which the Video cannot be recovered, and that EgoVista and its Buyers hold the rights in such derivatives. Nothing in this paragraph extends the License over the raw Video beyond Section 5.4, and the Contributor’s rights under Section 13 apply to the Video itself;
- (g) **Market, promote, and advertise** the Video, the Datasets, and EgoVista’s services, including by displaying preview thumbnails or short excerpts.

**5.4 Domain of exploitation (article L.131-3 CPI).**

- (a) **Territory:** worldwide, in all jurisdictions where copyright or analogous protection subsists.
- (b) **Duration:** the entire legal duration of the patrimonial rights of the Contributor, namely 70 years *post mortem auctoris* under article L.123-1 CPI, subject to the Contributor’s rights under Sections 12 and 13.
- (c) **Destinations:** as described in Section 5.3(d)-(g) above, namely creation, sale and sublicensing of annotated Datasets for training, evaluation and research purposes in artificial intelligence, robotics, computer vision and related domains.

**5.5 Right of image of the Contributor.** The License extends to the right of image of the Contributor over any portion of the Video in which the Contributor’s hands, arms, voice, silhouette or other identifying attribute appears or is recorded. This authorization is granted specifically and expressly for the purposes set out in Section 5.3.

**5.6 Moral rights (article L.121-1 CPI).** The Contributor’s moral rights (right to authorship, right to integrity, right of disclosure, right to withdraw) are inalienable, perpetual and imprescriptible. They are neither transferred nor alienated under these Terms, and no provision of these Terms restricts their existence; the Contributor retains them in full at all times.

However, given the nature of the Datasets, which require pseudonymisation and aggregation of contributions, the Contributor expressly commits not to assert his/her right of authorship attribution (« *droit de paternité* ») on the Datasets delivered to Buyers, on the following understanding:

- (a) this commitment is contractual and constitutes an undertaking to limit the exercise of a right, not an alienation of that right;
- (b) the Contributor may at any time revoke this commitment by written notice to [privacy@egovista.app](mailto:privacy@egovista.app); upon revocation, EgoVista will, on a best-effort basis, attempt to provide attribution information in newly-delivered Datasets;
- (c) the commitment is justified by the Contributor’s own legitimate interest in being protected by the pseudonymisation process.

**5.7 Authorized modifications and consent to integrity transformations.** The Contributor expressly consents to the modifications listed in Section 5.3(b) above. The Parties agree that those transformations, being strictly necessary for the operation of EgoVista’s pipeline, do not constitute a violation of the right to integrity of the Video.

**5.8 Distinction between the raw Video and the Dataset — dataset-level exclusivity.** These Terms distinguish two separate objects of property:

- (a) the **raw Video** recorded by the Contributor (a pre-existing work), over which the License granted to EgoVista under Section 5.3 is and remains **non-exclusive**;
- (b) the **Dataset** compiled and annotated by EgoVista, which is a distinct work and object of property: a composite work within the meaning of article L.113-4 CPI and a database within the meaning of article L.112-3 CPI, the contents of which are further protected by the producer’s sui generis right of article L.341-1 CPI, EgoVista being the party that takes the initiative and the risk of the corresponding investment.

Because the Dataset is a separate object of property, EgoVista may grant a Buyer exclusivity **at the level of the Dataset deliverable**. Any such exclusivity is defined in the contract between EgoVista and the Buyer, not in these Terms, and does not affect, extend to, or convert into an exclusive right the non-exclusive License granted by the Contributor over the underlying raw Video. The Contributor remains free, at all times, to record, license or sell his/her raw Videos to third parties in accordance with Section 4.3.

## 6. Compensation

**6.1 Compensation per hour of Usable Footage.** EgoVista compensates the Contributor at a rate applied to each hour of Usable Footage in a Video that has been Accepted. The rate applicable to a Mission is stated on that Mission’s page and is visible to the Contributor before he/she joins it. It is fixed when the Mission opens and is not modified thereafter.

Compensation is not a wage and is not remuneration for time spent. It is consideration for the License granted over an Accepted Video, calculated by reference to the quantity of Usable Footage that Video contains. No amount is due in respect of a Video that is not Accepted, and no amount is due in respect of time spent recording footage that is not submitted or not Usable, save in the cases set out in Section 8.5.

The criteria under which a Video is Accepted or not Accepted are published in advance in the [Contributor Guidelines](/guidelines) and, for Mission-specific requirements, on the Mission page. EgoVista does not apply undisclosed criteria.

**6.2 Lump-sum compensation — justification under article L.131-4 CPI.** The Parties expressly agree that Compensation takes the form of a lump-sum hourly rate and not a proportional share of revenue from Dataset sales, because:

- (a) the basis for proportional remuneration cannot be practically determined within the meaning of article L.131-4 CPI: Datasets are commercialized in aggregated bundles, often containing thousands of Videos from hundreds of Contributors, and the price paid by a Buyer cannot reasonably be allocated to any individual Video;
- (b) the means of monitoring proportional application would be disproportionate to the amounts involved;
- (c) the Contributor specifically accepts this lump-sum arrangement as fair compensation, in full knowledge of the principle of proportional remuneration.

**6.3 Payment terms.** Compensation is credited to the Contributor’s balance on the platform as soon as the Video concerned is Accepted, without waiting for the end of a period. The Contributor may request payment of his/her balance at any time, from one euro (EUR 1) upwards, and EgoVista executes the payment within thirty (30) days of the request.

Nothing is forfeited. Where a Mission closes and the Contributor’s balance has not been requested, EgoVista pays it out on its own initiative.

**6.3-bis Transfer fees.** Where the amount requested is fifteen euros (EUR 15) or more, EgoVista bears the transfer fees in full and the Contributor receives the amount requested. Where the amount requested is less than fifteen euros, the transfer fees are deducted from the amount, and the fee and the net amount are both displayed to the Contributor before he/she confirms the request. No fee is ever deducted without having been shown first.

**6.4 Payment providers.** Payments are executed through the payment providers listed, with their identity and role, at [egovista.app/legal/sub-processors](/legal/sub-processors). The Contributor enters his/her banking details directly within the provider’s own interface. EgoVista does not store the Contributor’s banking details.

**6.5 Currency.** Payments are made in EUR by default. Cross-border Contributors may receive payments in their local currency at the prevailing exchange rate of the payment provider; any conversion fees are borne by the payment provider.

**6.6 Erroneous payments.** In case of overpayment or duplicate payment by EgoVista, the Contributor agrees to refund the excess amount or to authorize EgoVista to deduct it from future Compensation.

**6.7 Compensation is independent from data-processing consent.** Compensation is the consideration for the License granted by the Contributor under these Terms and rests on the contract between the Parties (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). It is separate from, and not conditioned upon, any consent the Contributor may give for specific data-processing operations described in the [Privacy Policy](/privacy) (in particular consent to the production of skeletal-keypoint annotations). The Contributor may withdraw any such consent at any time, without detriment: withdrawal does not give rise to any penalty, does not affect Compensation already due for Videos Accepted before the withdrawal, does not restrict access to any Mission, and does not affect the Acceptance of any Video.

**6.8 Renewed consent where the original collection was defective.** Where EgoVista determines that a consent previously obtained for a specific processing operation was not collected under conditions that made it freely given within the meaning of Article 4(11) and Article 7(4) GDPR, it does not rely on that consent. EgoVista informs the Contributors concerned, treats the earlier consent as withdrawn from the date of that determination, and asks them again through an interface in which refusing and consenting are equally available and equally presented, and in which the consequence of refusing is stated to be none. A Contributor who does not answer is treated as having refused.

## 7. Contributor's Representations, Warranties and Obligations

For each Video uploaded, the Contributor represents, warrants and undertakes as follows.

**7.1 Authorship and originality.** The Contributor is the sole and exclusive author of the Video; the Video is the result of his/her own creative effort; the Contributor has not copied, derived or incorporated material from any third-party work protected by copyright, except in a manner that qualifies as a permitted exception (e.g. *de minimis* incidental capture).

**7.2 Right of image of third parties.**

- (a) any individual identifiable in the Video — by face, voice, silhouette, tattoo or other identifying feature — and filmed in a non-incidental manner (i.e., as a subject of the Video rather than a fleeting passerby) has provided a prior, express, informed, written and specific consent to the recording and to the License granted under these Terms. Such consent shall take the form of the Model Release made available in the Contributor Guidelines and shall be furnished to EgoVista on first request;
- (b) any individual filmed only incidentally has been or will be pseudonymised by EgoVista’s pipeline (visual occultation of faces). The Contributor undertakes not to film in contexts where incidental capture of identifiable individuals would be unavoidable and where pseudonymisation would not suffice.

**7.3 No minors.** No person under 18 years of age is deliberately filmed as a subject of the Video. Any minor captured incidentally must be flagged to EgoVista before upload; the relevant footage will be pseudonymised or excluded.

**7.4 Private locations.** The Contributor shall not film in private locations belonging to third parties (private residences, private offices, restricted-access areas, changing rooms, restrooms, medical facilities, schools, religious sites) without the prior written authorization of the owner or operator. Such authorization shall be furnished to EgoVista on first request.

**7.5 No illegal content.** The Video does not contain content that is illegal, defamatory, violent, pornographic, hateful, discriminatory, or that constitutes intellectual-property infringement.

**7.6 Prior information of persons present, and their right to object.** Before any recording, the Contributor has informed every person who may appear in the Video, whether as a subject or incidentally, and including members of his/her own household, of three things: that a first-person video recording is taking place, that the footage will be processed and licensed as part of a commercial annotated Dataset used to train artificial intelligence and robotics models, and that they may refuse. A template notice is provided in the [Contributor Guidelines](/guidelines).

This is an obligation and not a recommendation. Where a person objects, the Contributor does not record that person and does not record in a place where that person will be in frame. Informing a person after the recording has taken place does not satisfy this paragraph.

This obligation is distinct from, and additional to, the written image release required by Section 7.2(a) for any person filmed as a subject.

**7.7 Smart-glasses use.** Where the Contributor uses smart glasses (Meta Ray-Ban, Apple Vision Pro or equivalent), he/she shall comply with the recommendations of the French data-protection authority (CNIL, communication of 15 November 2024 and 2026 action plan), namely: ensuring the recording indicator is visible and not concealed; not recording in intimate spaces (changing rooms, medical facilities, restrooms); not exploiting the discretion of the device to circumvent third parties’ consent.

**7.8 Compliance with Contributor Guidelines.** The Contributor undertakes to follow the [Contributor Guidelines](/guidelines), which form an integral part of these Terms.

**7.9 Truthfulness of declared information.** All information provided to EgoVista (identity, age, residence, banking details, declarations relating to uploaded Videos) is accurate, complete and up-to-date. Before submitting a Video, the Contributor answers a small number of declarations relating to that specific Video, concerning the presence of other persons, whether they were informed, the nature of the place of recording, and the absence of sensitive information. Those declarations are given per Video and are recorded as given.

**7.10 Single delivery of a given recording.** Each Video submitted is a recording that has not previously been delivered, licensed or sold to EgoVista or to any third party. This warranty attaches to the individual recording and not to its subject-matter: the Contributor remains free to record the same task again and to deal with the new recording as he/she sees fit (Section 4.3).

## 8. Acceptance of Videos and Quality Assurance

**8.1 Review.** Each uploaded Video is reviewed by a person before any decision is taken in respect of it. Automated checks may assist that review, and they do not replace it: no Video is Accepted, refused, or paid on the basis of automated processing alone, and no decision affecting Compensation is taken without human involvement. EgoVista aims to decide within seven (7) days of submission and does not guarantee a processing time (Section 10.2).

**8.2 Acceptance or refusal.** EgoVista issues either an Acceptance or a refusal to the Contributor through the platform interface. A refusal states the reason relied upon, drawn from the list of reasons published in the [Contributor Guidelines](/guidelines), and identifies the section of those Guidelines that sets out the requirement concerned. EgoVista does not refuse a Video on a ground that is not in that list.

**8.3 What a refusal entails, and what it does not.** A Video that is not Accepted gives rise to no Compensation. That is the whole of the consequence attached to it. In particular, a refusal does not result in suspension or closure of the account, does not restrict access to any current or future Mission, does not affect the Compensation due for any other Video, and is not aggregated into any score, ranking or reputation attaching to the Contributor. The Contributor may record and submit again under the same Mission.

**8.4 Contesting a decision.** The Contributor may contest a refusal by replying to the notification or by writing to [contact@egovista.app](mailto:contact@egovista.app), stating the Video concerned and the grounds. A person examines the request and answers within thirty (30) days. The decision may be reversed, in which case Compensation becomes due as if the Video had been Accepted at first review.

**8.5 Refusals that are not attributable to the Contributor.** Some of the reasons published in the Contributor Guidelines describe a failure on EgoVista’s side rather than on the Contributor’s, in particular a processing failure within EgoVista’s pipeline or infrastructure, and a Mission whose own stated requirements were incomplete or impossible to satisfy. Where the reason relied upon is one of those, the Contributor is paid in full for the Usable Footage submitted, notwithstanding Section 8.3. Where fault cannot be established either way, EgoVista resolves the question in favour of the Contributor.

This paragraph does not apply to a Video that EgoVista has no right to exploit, nor to a Video that breaches Section 7.10, neither of which gives rise to Compensation or to retention.

**8.6 Criteria and their versions.** A decision taken in respect of a Video cites the version of the Contributor Guidelines and the Mission requirements in force at the time the Contributor joined the Mission concerned. EgoVista does not re-examine a past submission under a later version of any criterion, and does not apply an amended criterion to a Mission opened before its date of effect.

**8.7 Withdrawal before Acceptance.** Prior to Acceptance, the Contributor may withdraw an uploaded Video at any time without justification.

**8.8 Effect of Acceptance.** Upon Acceptance, the License under Section 5 becomes effective and irrevocable in respect of that specific Video, subject to Section 13 (GDPR Article 17 rights).

## 9. Tax and Social Responsibility of the Contributor

**9.1 Nature of Compensation.** Compensation under these Terms constitutes consideration for a license of copyright rights granted by the Contributor to EgoVista. It is not a salary, a fee for a service rendered, or any other type of remuneration.

**9.2 No tax advice.** EgoVista does not provide tax or social-security advice. The Contributor is solely responsible for declaring and paying any income tax, social contributions, value-added tax, or other levies applicable to Compensation received, in accordance with the laws of his/her country of residence.

**9.3 French Contributors — guidance.** For Contributors residing in France, Compensation typically qualifies as « *bénéfices non commerciaux* » (BNC) under article 92.2.2° of the French General Tax Code, or as « *traitements et salaires* » under article 93-1 *quater* CGI in specific configurations. The micro-BNC regime applies under the thresholds set by article 50-0 CGI (77,700 EUR for 2025 income; 83,600 EUR for 2026 income). Registration with URSSAF Limousin (artistes-auteurs branch) may be required above 1,200 EUR of annual recettes. The Contributor is invited to consult [impots.gouv.fr](https://www.impots.gouv.fr), [urssaf.fr](https://www.urssaf.fr), and [service-public.gouv.fr](https://www.service-public.gouv.fr) for authoritative guidance.

**9.4 Cross-border Contributors.** For Contributors residing outside France, EgoVista pays the gross amount of Compensation and does not operate withholding at source, except where required by an applicable bilateral tax treaty or by EU legislation. The Contributor is responsible for declaring Compensation in his/her country of residence.

**9.5 Disclaimer.** EgoVista shall have no liability whatsoever in respect of any tax or social-security obligation of the Contributor.

## 10. EgoVista's Obligations and Liability

**10.1 Commitments.** EgoVista undertakes, on a best-effort basis, to:

- (a) operate the platform diligently and process Videos within reasonable timeframes;
- (b) apply the announced pseudonymisation pipeline to Videos before incorporation into Datasets;
- (c) pay due Compensation in accordance with Section 6;
- (d) comply with applicable data-protection law ([Privacy Policy](/privacy) v2.2).

**10.2 No service-level guarantees.** EgoVista does not commit to any specific uptime, processing time, frequency of Missions, or minimum number of Accepted Videos. The Contributor expressly acknowledges that EgoVista may, at any time, close a Mission or publish no new Mission for any period, and may set a different rate for a new Mission. A rate applicable to a Mission already open is not modified (Section 6.1), and a Mission’s requirements are not modified once it is open (Section 2, “Mission”).

**10.3 Liability allocation.**

- (a) **Essential obligations and gross faults — no exclusion.** Pursuant to article 1170 of the French Civil Code and to article R.212-1 6° of the French Consumer Code, EgoVista does not exclude or limit its liability for breach of its essential obligations (payment of due Compensation, application of pseudonymisation pipeline, compliance with GDPR procedures), nor for gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
- (b) **Indirect damages — exclusion.** To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, EgoVista shall not be liable for indirect, consequential, special, incidental or punitive damages, including loss of expected revenue, loss of opportunity or reputational damage, except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
- (c) **Aggregate cap on direct damages other than essential obligations.** Subject to (a) above, EgoVista’s aggregate liability for direct damages other than breach of essential obligations shall not exceed the greater of (i) total Compensation paid to the Contributor during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or (ii) EUR 500.

**10.4 Force majeure.** Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay caused by force majeure within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Civil Code (natural disasters, war, governmental action, network outages of third-party providers, etc.).

## 11. Indemnification by the Contributor

**11.1 Scope.** The Contributor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless EgoVista, its officers, employees, agents, affiliates and Buyers against any third-party claim (a “Claim”) and all related damages, settlements, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:

- (a) any breach by the Contributor of his/her representations, warranties or obligations under Section 7;
- (b) any infringement of intellectual property, image rights, privacy rights or other personality rights of a third party by the Video;
- (c) any false or misleading information provided by the Contributor.

**11.2 Cap.** The Contributor’s aggregate liability under this Section 11 shall not exceed the greater of (i) total Compensation paid by EgoVista during the twelve (12) months preceding the Claim, or (ii) EUR 1,000.

**11.3 Carve-out.** The cap in Section 11.2 shall not apply in case of (a) gross negligence, (b) wilful misconduct, (c) fraudulent misrepresentation, or (d) deliberate breach of warranties relating to right of image (Section 7.2) or to content involving minors (Section 7.3).

**11.4 Procedure.** EgoVista shall promptly notify the Contributor of any Claim. The Contributor shall reasonably cooperate with EgoVista in the defense or settlement. EgoVista retains the right to control the defense and to enter into settlements, provided no settlement requiring the Contributor to admit liability shall be entered without his/her prior written consent.

## 12. Suspension and Termination

**12.1 Termination by the Contributor.** The Contributor may terminate these Terms at any time, without prior notice and without justification, by sending a written notice to [contact@egovista.app](mailto:contact@egovista.app) or by deleting his/her account through the platform interface.

**12.2 Termination by EgoVista for cause.** EgoVista may terminate these Terms with immediate effect, without prior notice, in case of:

- (a) material breach by the Contributor of any warranty or obligation under Section 7;
- (b) fraud, attempted manipulation of payments, creation of multiple unauthorized accounts;
- (c) submission of unlawful content;
- (d) violation of applicable law in connection with use of the platform.

**12.3 Termination by EgoVista for convenience.** EgoVista may terminate these Terms for any other reason, with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. During the notice period, the Contributor may continue to upload Videos under existing acquisition orders.

**12.4 Effects of termination.**

- (a) **Videos already Accepted:** the License under Section 5 remains in full force and effect; EgoVista pays out the Contributor’s remaining balance on its own initiative, within thirty (30) days, without requiring a request (Section 6.3);
- (b) **Videos uploaded but not yet decided:** withdrawn from the platform; no Compensation is due, save where Section 8.5 would have applied;
- (c) **Data retention:** governed by the [Privacy Policy](/privacy) v2.2 (sections 6 and 7.3).

**12.5 Survival.** Sections 5 (in respect of Accepted Videos), 6 (in respect of amounts already due), 7 (warranties given in respect of Accepted Videos), 10, 11, 13, 15 and 16 survive termination.

## 13. Interplay with GDPR — Right to Erasure

**13.1 Irrevocability of License — contractual rule.** As between EgoVista and the Contributor, the License granted under Section 5 over each Accepted Video is irrevocable for the duration set in Section 5.4(b).

**13.2 GDPR rights — survival.** Notwithstanding Section 13.1, the Contributor’s rights under Chapter III of the GDPR (right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection) survive these Terms and may be exercised at any time by sending a request to [privacy@egovista.app](mailto:privacy@egovista.app). No contractual provision of these Terms may have the effect of restricting or excluding the exercise of those rights.

**13.3 Procedure for Article 17 (right to erasure).** When the Contributor exercises his/her right to erasure over an Accepted Video:

- (a) EgoVista erases the Video from its own systems (production storage, backups, annotation pipeline) within thirty (30) days, in accordance with the [Privacy Policy](/privacy) v2.2;
- (b) EgoVista notifies each Buyer that has received the Video as part of a Dataset, requesting erasure under the Buyer’s own GDPR compliance procedure, in discharge of EgoVista’s notification obligation under article 19 GDPR;
- (c) EgoVista is not responsible for any refusal by a Buyer to erase the Video based on a legitimate exception under article 17.3 GDPR (in particular: scientific research, exercise or defense of legal claims). EgoVista remains responsible for the effective notification, but cannot guarantee an outcome that depends on the action of a third party.

**13.4 Article 17.3 limits.** Some Videos may, exceptionally, be retained by EgoVista beyond an erasure request where this is permitted under article 17.3 GDPR, in particular for scientific research purposes. In such case, EgoVista informs the Contributor of the basis of retention and limits processing accordingly.

## 14. Intellectual Property of EgoVista

**14.1 Ownership.** The EgoVista platform, software, brand, logo, documentation and Datasets are the exclusive property of EgoVista (or of its licensors). Nothing in these Terms grants the Contributor any right or license over those elements.

**14.2 Limited use.** The Contributor is granted a personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to use the platform solely for the purpose of performing under these Terms.

## 15. Governing Law, Mediation and Jurisdiction

**15.1 Governing law.** These Terms are governed by French law, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the member state of residence of any Contributor qualifying as a consumer (Regulation (EU) 593/2008 “Rome I”, article 6).

**15.2 Internal complaint procedure.** Before any litigation or mediation, the Contributor is invited to address a written complaint to EgoVista at [contact@egovista.app](mailto:contact@egovista.app) (or for data-protection issues, [privacy@egovista.app](mailto:privacy@egovista.app)). EgoVista undertakes to respond within thirty (30) days.

**15.3 Jurisdiction.** Subject to articles 17 to 19 of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 (“Brussels I bis”):

- (a) any dispute concerning these Terms shall be submitted to the competent courts of Paris, France;
- (b) however, a Contributor qualifying as a consumer and residing in a Member State of the European Union may, at his/her option, bring proceedings before the courts of his/her own domicile, and shall be sued exclusively before such courts;
- (c) for Contributors residing outside the European Union, the courts of Paris shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

**16.3 Severability.** If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unenforceable or contrary to applicable law, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

A French translation may be made available in future versions; in such case, the English version will prevail between the parties.

**16.7 No waiver.** Failure by either Party to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver.

**16.8 Survival of clauses.** Sections 5 (in respect of Accepted Videos), 6 (in respect of amounts already due), 7, 9.5, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 16 survive termination.
