**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 annotation pipeline whose storage and main processing run in the European Union, 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 recordings, how we pay you, what we promise, and what you promise us. Please read carefully. By creating an account and uploading a Submission, you accept these Terms.

## What has changed in this version

This section is informative. It does not create, restrict or interpret any right, and in case of any difference the numbered Sections below govern.

Version 2.1 is the version in force until 7 August 2026. Version 2.2 was published and is withdrawn without ever having taken effect. If you accepted version 2.1, the following is what changes for you.

**A Mission may now ask for something other than video.** Sound is named as a distinct collection modality and is never implied by the word video. A Mission that asks for sound says so on its own page and says why, and a separate authorisation over your voice then applies, which excludes voice cloning and voice synthesis (Sections 1.4, 5.5-bis and 5.9).

**The presence of sound in a file is never your fault.** Cameras record sound by default. Outside a Mission that asks for it, the sound track is not exploited, not annotated and not delivered, and it is not a ground for refusing a Submission (Section 5.9).

**A Mission may carry Particular Conditions.** These are stipulations specific to that Mission, made available before you join it, frozen when it opens, and never derogating from these Terms. Declining them means only that you do not join that Mission (Section 1.5).

**How a decision is taken is now stated in full.** A Submission may be accepted by automated processing alone, and you are then told the duration retained and shown which segments were not counted. **A refusal is never automatic**: a person examines and decides. A person also decides on your first Submission, where the usable duration retained falls short of your file by more than the proportion published on the Mission page, and where you contest a decision (Section 8.1).

**Your right to obtain a human decision is written down.** You may contest any decision, including the duration retained, and a person reads what you write, considers your point of view and answers within thirty days. Where the decision is changed, you are paid as if the right decision had been taken the first time (Section 8.4).

**Payment.** No figure for a minimum withdrawal appears in these Terms; the minimum depends on the corridor and is displayed before you request. EgoVista bears the transfer fee in full at or above twenty euros, and below that the fee and the net amount are both shown before you confirm. After twelve months without activity, EgoVista pays out your balance on its own initiative rather than waiting. Currency conversion is performed by the payment provider without any margin added by EgoVista. The clause on a negative balance is removed (Sections 6.3-bis, 6.3-ter, 6.5, 6.6).

**Where you may record.** Recording in a professional setting is possible only under a Mission that expressly provides for it and carries Particular Conditions. You declare, for each Submission, that nothing belonging to a customer of yours, covered by confidentiality, or constituting a third party's trade secret appears in it (Sections 7.11 and 7.12).

**What erasure reaches, and what it does not.** Erasure bears on your Submission and on the records concerning it. It does not reach synthetic derivatives or the weights of a model already trained. EgoVista undertakes to require every Buyer, by contract, to give effect to an erasure in its own systems and its own subsequent training. You are told this before you contribute, and you may withdraw a Submission at any time before Acceptance (Sections 5.3(f-bis) and 13.5).

**Collections carried out under a site agreement** are outside these Terms. A person filmed in that context is not a Contributor and derives no right from these Terms (Section 1.6).

## 1. Introduction, Scope 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) recordings. Recordings accepted by EgoVista are processed through an annotation 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 material 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 material remains personal data within the meaning of Article 4(1) GDPR.

Storage and the main processing run in the European Union. A number of EgoVista’s suppliers are established outside the European Economic Area, and their support, administration and control-plane access constitute transfers under Chapter V GDPR; each is covered by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or by the guarantee regime applicable to that supplier. The specific tools and sub-processors used at each step, the place of processing and the transfer basis of each 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) v2.3, which governs the processing of personal data, and to the [Contributor Guidelines](/guidelines) v1.1, which state the requirements applicable to each Submission and the reasons a Submission may not be accepted. Both are incorporated by reference.

In case of conflict, the Privacy Policy prevails on personal-data matters. The Contributor Guidelines prevail on the requirements applicable to the recording and to the content of a Submission, which is what they exist to state. These Terms prevail on everything else, and in particular on intellectual-property matters, on the way a decision is taken in respect of a Submission, on Compensation, and on the means of contesting a decision.

**1.3 Acceptance and version.** By ticking the acceptance checkbox, you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Your acceptance is recorded, with the version accepted and the date.

The present version (v2.3) is in force from 7 August 2026. **It binds a Contributor from the moment he/she accepts it, and not before.** A Contributor who has accepted an earlier version and has not yet accepted the present one remains governed by the version he/she accepted, until he/she accepts the present one. EgoVista presents the present version for acceptance on next connection and does not treat silence as acceptance. What has changed since the version currently in force is stated at the head of these Terms, under "What has changed in this version", so that a Contributor asked to accept can see what he/she is accepting without comparing two texts.

Participation in a Mission opened under the present version requires its prior acceptance. Declining has no other consequence: it does not close the account, does not affect any balance already credited, and does not prevent acceptance at a later date.

EgoVista may amend these Terms. Where an amendment is imposed without being submitted for acceptance, it is notified by email at least thirty (30) days before it takes effect. Amendments apply prospectively only.

**Version 2.2 is withdrawn and does not enter into force.** It was published on 27 July 2026 with a stated effective date of 31 August 2026. It is replaced by the present version before that date and therefore never becomes binding on any Contributor. It remains published, together with its fingerprint, in the version archive: a published version is not erased from the record.

**1.4 Collection modalities and object of a Mission.** A Mission may call for the collection of material other than, or in addition to, video. Each Mission states on its own page which collection modalities it involves. A modality that is not stated on the Mission page is not part of that Mission.

Where a Mission involves a modality other than video, the provisions of these Terms concerning Videos apply to the material collected under that modality, and in particular the License in Section 5, the warranties in Section 7, the acceptance process in Section 8 and the Compensation provisions in Section 6.

The sound track is a distinct collection modality and is never implied by the word “video”. Its regime is set out in Section 5.9.

**1.5 Particular Conditions of a Mission.** A Mission may carry Particular Conditions, that is, contractual stipulations specific to that Mission. Where it does:

- (a) the Particular Conditions are made available to the Contributor before he/she joins the Mission, and joining the Mission is conditional on accepting them;
- (b) they are fixed when the Mission opens and are not modified thereafter, and the text accepted is recorded as accepted;
- (c) they supplement these Terms and do not derogate from them;
- (d) in case of contradiction between these Terms and a Particular Condition, these Terms prevail, save where the Particular Condition is more favourable to the Contributor, in which case the Particular Condition prevails.

Declining Particular Conditions has the sole consequence that the Contributor does not join the Mission concerned. It has no effect on his/her account, on any balance, or on access to any other Mission.

**1.6 Collections carried out under a site agreement.** These Terms govern only Missions in which a Contributor participates on his/her own account. They do not apply to collections carried out under an agreement concluded between EgoVista and the operator of a site, where the material is delivered by that operator and payment is due to that operator. A person filmed in the context of such a collection is not a Contributor within the meaning of these Terms and derives no right from them.

## 2. Definitions

- **“Acceptance”** means EgoVista’s positive decision on a Submission 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 Submissions, 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 v1.1. They form an integral part of these Terms.
- **“Dataset”** means an annotated, structured set of one or more Submissions 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 collection modalities and the requirements applicable to Submissions made 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.
- **“Particular Conditions”** means the contractual stipulations specific to a Mission, described in Section 1.5.
- **“Submission”** means the material delivered by the Contributor under a Mission. For Missions calling for video, a Submission is a Video. Where a Mission calls for another collection modality, the Submission is the material collected under that modality.
- **“Usable Footage”** means the portion of a Submission 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.** Submissions are stored, and the main processing runs, within the European Union, irrespective of the country from which they are uploaded. The residual transfers arising from the establishment of certain suppliers outside the European Economic Area, and those arising from the Contributor’s 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) v2.3 and in the sub-processor list. 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, 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 smartphone, GoPro, smart glasses or equivalent device;
- (d) no quota of Submissions 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 anything 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 recordings 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 Submission 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 Submission. 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, voice rights, or sui generis database rights that may attach to the Submission.

**5.2 Per-Submission 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 Submission constitutes a distinct, determinable and individualized work. The License attaches to each Submission individually and becomes effective only upon Acceptance of that Submission by EgoVista, as defined in Section 8. Prior to Acceptance, the Contributor may withdraw any uploaded Submission at any time, without justification, by using the platform interface.

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

- (a) **Reproduce** the Submission, 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 Submission, 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 Submission;
- (d) **Incorporate** the Submission, in whole or in part, into one or more Datasets;
- (e) **Distribute, transmit, make available, and communicate to the public** the Submission and the Datasets containing it;
- (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 Submission 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 Submission rather than extracted from it, including synthetic image or video sequences, simulated environments and trajectories reconstructed from the Submission, and model weights resulting from training on the Submission or on such derivatives. A derivative of this kind is a distinct object: it does not incorporate the Submission and is not designed to permit its reconstitution. EgoVista and its Buyers hold the rights in such derivatives. Nothing in this paragraph extends the License over the raw Submission beyond Section 5.4, and the Contributor’s rights under Section 13 apply to the Submission itself. The consequences of an erasure request in respect of derivatives are set out in Section 13.5;
- (g) **Market, promote, and advertise** the Submission, 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 Submission in which the Contributor’s hands, arms, silhouette or other visually identifying attribute appears. This authorization is granted specifically and expressly for the purposes set out in Section 5.3, worldwide, for the duration set out in Section 5.4(b), and on a non-exclusive basis.

**5.5-bis Voice of the Contributor — express and special authorisation.** The voice is an attribute of personality distinct from the image, and the present authorisation is distinct from that of Section 5.5.

Where, and only where, a Mission expressly calls for the collection of the sound track (Section 5.9), the Contributor authorises EgoVista to record, reproduce, adapt, translate, incorporate into a Dataset and sublicense to Buyers his/her voice as captured in the Submission, for the purposes set out in Section 5.3, worldwide, for the duration set out in Section 5.4(b), on the supports described in Section 5.3, and on a non-exclusive basis.

**This authorisation expressly excludes voice cloning and voice synthesis.** EgoVista does not license, and does not authorise any Buyer to carry out, the creation of a synthetic voice reproducing or imitating the Contributor’s voice, the training of a model whose purpose is to reproduce or imitate an individual voice, or the generation of speech attributed to the Contributor. This exclusion is a limit of the License itself: it binds every Buyer and every subsequent transferee, and EgoVista undertakes to carry it through into its contracts with Buyers.

Where a Mission does not call for the collection of the sound track, no authorisation over the voice is granted under this Section.

**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 Submission.

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

- (a) the **raw Submission** 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 Submission. The Contributor remains free, at all times, to record, license or sell his/her raw recordings to third parties in accordance with Section 4.3.

**5.9 Sound track.** Missions concern the image. The sound track is neither requested, nor exploited, nor delivered.

A Mission may expressly provide for the collection of the Contributor’s speech, in which case it says so on its own page, states why the sound track is necessary to that Mission, and the authorisation of Section 5.5-bis applies to Submissions made under it. In the absence of such a statement on the Mission page, the sound track is not part of the Mission.

EgoVista does not represent that a sound track incidentally present in a file is removed, stripped or pseudonymised: no such processing exists at the date of these Terms. What EgoVista undertakes is that, outside a Mission expressly providing for it, the sound track is not exploited, is not annotated, and is not included in any Dataset delivered to a Buyer.

**The presence of a sound track in a Submission made under a Mission that does not call for it is never a fault of the Contributor,** and is not a ground for refusal. Recording devices capture sound by default and no reasonable instruction reliably prevents it.

**5.10 Performers.** Where a Submission contains a performance capable of attracting the neighbouring rights of a performer within the meaning of articles L.212-1 and following CPI, and where the Contributor is the performer, the Contributor grants by the present Section the written authorisation required by article L.212-3 CPI for the fixation, reproduction and communication to the public of that performance, for the purposes, territory and duration set out in Sections 5.3 and 5.4, and for the separate use of sound and image.

The Contributor warrants that no third-party performer appears in a Submission without having given the written authorisation required by that article. EgoVista does not verify the status of any person appearing in a Submission and relies on this declaration.

## 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 Submission 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 Submission, calculated by reference to the quantity of Usable Footage that Submission contains. No amount is due in respect of a Submission that is not Accepted, and no amount is due in respect of time spent recording material that is not submitted or not Usable, save in the cases set out in Section 8.5.

The criteria under which a Submission 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 Submissions from hundreds of Contributors, and the price paid by a Buyer cannot reasonably be allocated to any individual Submission;
- (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.

This Section is without prejudice to the mandatory provisions of the CPI, and in particular to article L.131-5.

**6.3 Balance and payment.** Compensation is credited to the Contributor’s balance on the platform as soon as the Submission concerned is Accepted, without waiting for the end of a period. The balance remains available without time limit and is never forfeited.

The Contributor may request payment of his/her balance at any time, subject to Section 6.3-bis, and EgoVista executes the payment within thirty (30) days of the request. That period does not begin to run before the Contributor has supplied to the payment provider the details necessary to execute the payment (Section 6.4).

**6.3-bis Minimum amount of a payment request.** A payment request may be made where the available balance exceeds the transfer fee applicable to the corridor concerned. The resulting minimum amount depends on the corridor and is displayed on the withdrawal page before any request is made. No figure is fixed by these Terms.

Where the amount requested is twenty euros (EUR 20) or more, EgoVista bears the transfer fees in full and the Contributor receives the amount requested. Where the amount requested is less than twenty 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.**

The threshold in the preceding paragraph and the rule in the first paragraph of this Section apply to Missions opened after the date of effect of these Terms. Submissions made under a Mission opened before that date remain governed by the corresponding provisions of the version in force when that Mission opened.

**6.3-ter Payment on EgoVista’s initiative after twelve months without activity.** Where the Contributor’s balance is positive and no Submission has been made and no payment requested for twelve (12) consecutive months, EgoVista pays out the balance on its own initiative, using the payment details it holds, without waiting for a request. EgoVista informs the Contributor before doing so.

Where EgoVista does not hold the details necessary to execute the payment, or where no payment route exists to the Contributor’s country of residence at that time, the balance is retained for the Contributor. **It is not forfeited, is not acquired by EgoVista, and remains due.** EgoVista informs the Contributor and invites him/her to supply valid details, and pays out as soon as execution becomes possible.

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

A payment cannot be executed until those details have been supplied. The thirty-day period of Section 6.3 does not run during any period in which execution is prevented by their absence.

**6.5 Currency and conversion.** What EgoVista commits to is the net amount in euros, which is also the amount carried by the balance.

Payments are made in euros by default. Where the Contributor is paid in a local currency, the conversion is carried out by EgoVista’s payment provider at that provider’s rate at the time of execution, **without any margin added by EgoVista**. Because rates move, the amount in local currency is not guaranteed in advance. Where the Contributor’s account permits it, he/she may ask to be paid in euros instead.

EgoVista does not represent that it bears no banking cost, nor that it systematically selects the least expensive channel available. What it guarantees is that the net amount is displayed before confirmation and that no undisclosed fee is deducted.

**6.6 Erroneous payments.** In case of overpayment or duplicate payment by EgoVista, the excess is corrected by a contrary entry in the Contributor’s balance. The Contributor’s balance is never negative as against him/her, and no amount is claimed back beyond the correction of the entry concerned.

**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 Submissions Accepted before the withdrawal, does not restrict access to any Mission, and does not affect the Acceptance of any Submission.

**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 Submission uploaded, the Contributor represents, warrants and undertakes as follows.

**7.1 Authorship and originality.** The Contributor is the sole and exclusive author of the Submission; it 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 and voice of third parties.**

- (a) any individual identifiable in the Submission — by face, voice, silhouette, tattoo or other identifying feature — and filmed in a non-incidental manner (i.e., as a subject of the Submission 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 annexed to these Terms at Annex 1, and shall be furnished to EgoVista on first request;
- (b) as regards individuals captured only incidentally, the Contributor undertakes not to record in contexts where their incidental capture would be unavoidable. EgoVista applies visual occultation of detected faces before any external processing, as a measure of minimisation and security; that measure operates on visual elements only, does not warrant exhaustive detection, and does not render the material anonymous. **It is not, and is not to be relied upon as, a substitute for the Contributor’s obligations under this Section and under Section 7.6.**
- (c) the pseudonymisation applied by EgoVista does not operate on sound. Where a Mission expressly provides for the collection of the sound track, the Contributor’s undertaking under (a) and the prior information required by Section 7.6 extend to any person who is audible, and not only to any person who is visible.

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

**7.4 Private locations.** The Contributor shall not record 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 Submission 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 Submission, whether as a subject or incidentally, and including members of his/her own household, of three things: that a first-person recording is taking place, that the material 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 recorded 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 Submissions) is accurate, complete and up-to-date. Before submitting, the Contributor answers a small number of declarations relating to that specific Submission, 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 Submission and are recorded as given.

**7.10 Single delivery of a given recording.** Each Submission 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).

**7.11 Perimeter of recording.** The Contributor undertakes to record only in a setting of which he/she has the disposal.

Recording on the premises of a third party’s workplace, in the presence of customers, or in the presence of persons who have not been informed, is excluded, unless a separate written authorisation has been given by the person responsible for the premises and furnished to EgoVista on first request.

Recording in a professional setting is possible only under a Mission which expressly provides for it and which carries Particular Conditions (Section 1.5). In the absence of such a Mission, a Submission recorded in a professional setting is outside the scope of what the Contributor may deliver under these Terms.

**This Section is an undertaking of the Contributor and not a verification carried out by EgoVista.** EgoVista does not detect the place of recording and does not represent that it does.

**7.12 Extended declaration of originality — place, third parties and confidential material.** For each Submission, the Contributor declares:

- (a) that the recording was made in a setting of which he/she has the disposal;
- (b) that no third party who has not been informed appears in it and, on a Mission expressly providing for the collection of the sound track, that no third party who has not been informed is audible in it;
- (c) that nothing belonging to a customer of the Contributor appears in it;
- (d) that nothing covered by an obligation of confidentiality appears in it; and
- (e) that nothing constituting a trade secret of a third party, within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/943 and of articles L151-1 and following of the French Commercial Code, appears in it.

Where the Contributor is himself/herself the lawful holder of a trade secret appearing in the Submission, he/she authorises its disclosure and its exploitation for the purposes of Section 5.3 and waives, as against EgoVista and its Buyers, the right to invoke that secret in respect of what is shown. This is an authorisation of disclosure and not an assignment: know-how is not protected by copyright and is not assigned under these Terms.

These declarations are given per Submission, at the time of upload, and are recorded as given. **It is the declaration given at upload that governs the content of the Submission concerned**, the acceptance of Particular Conditions at the time of joining a Mission governing the relationship.

## 8. Acceptance of Submissions and Quality Assurance

**8.1 How a decision is taken.** Submissions are assessed by automated processing which identifies the Usable Footage they contain and checks them against the requirements published in the Contributor Guidelines and on the Mission page.

A person examines a Submission, and takes the decision in respect of it, in each of the following cases:

- (a) where the assessment leads to a refusal;
- (b) where the Usable Footage identified falls short of the duration of the Submission by more than the proportion published on the Mission page;
- (c) where it is the first Submission made by that Contributor;
- (d) where the Contributor contests a decision under Section 8.4.

Outside those cases, a Submission may be Accepted by automated processing alone. Where it is, the Contributor is told the duration retained, is shown which segments were not counted as Usable Footage, and may contest the decision under Section 8.4.

**No refusal is ever taken by automated processing alone.**

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 Submission on a ground that is not in that list.

**8.3 What a refusal entails, and what it does not.** A Submission 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 Submission, 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 Obtaining human intervention and contesting a decision.** The Contributor may contest any decision taken in respect of a Submission, including the duration of Usable Footage retained, by replying to the notification or by writing to [contact@egovista.app](mailto:contact@egovista.app), stating the Submission concerned and the grounds.

**A person examines the request, considers the point of view expressed by the Contributor, and answers within thirty (30) days.** The decision may be reversed or amended, in which case Compensation becomes due as if that decision had been taken at first review.

Where the decision contested was taken by automated processing alone, this Section constitutes the right to obtain human intervention, to express one’s point of view and to contest the decision, within the meaning of Article 22(3) GDPR.

**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 Submission that EgoVista has no right to exploit, nor to one 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 Submission cites the version of these Terms accepted by the Contributor, and 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 Submission 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 Submission, 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 Submissions within reasonable timeframes;
- (b) apply the announced pseudonymisation pipeline to Submissions before incorporation into Datasets;
- (c) pay due Compensation in accordance with Section 6;
- (d) comply with applicable data-protection law ([Privacy Policy](/privacy) v2.3).

**10.2 No service-level guarantees.** EgoVista does not commit to any specific uptime, processing time, frequency of Missions, or minimum number of Accepted Submissions. 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.
- (d) **Contributors having the quality of consumer or non-professional.** Paragraphs (b) and (c) do not apply to a Contributor who acts for purposes falling outside his/her trade, business, craft or profession. As against such a Contributor, EgoVista’s liability is neither limited nor capped by these Terms, and is governed by the applicable law.

**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, voice rights, privacy rights, trade secrets or other rights of a third party by the Submission;
- (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 submit under Missions he/she has joined.

**12.4 Effects of termination.**

- (a) **Submissions 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) **Submissions 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) v2.3.

**12.5 Survival.** Sections 5 (in respect of Accepted Submissions), 6 (in respect of amounts already due), 7 (warranties given in respect of Accepted Submissions), 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 Submission 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 Submission, EgoVista proceeds as follows, and states what each step does and does not achieve.

- (a) **The Submission itself.** The material is deleted from object storage within thirty (30) days of the request. That deletion is definitive: the material is not held in any backup of object storage.
- (b) **Records in the database.** The records concerning the Submission are deleted from the active database within the same period. Database backups are not, and cannot be, edited individually: a backup is a fixed snapshot. Those backups expire by ordinary rotation within a period which does not exceed seven (7) days, they are not restored into an active environment in the meantime, and where a restoration nevertheless takes place the erasure is re-applied immediately afterwards.
- (c) **Evidence records.** Records evidencing the lawfulness of the processing (proof of consent, submission declaration, quality-control verdict) are, where their retention remains necessary, stripped of the elements linking them to an identified person rather than destroyed. This is a mode of performing the erasure, not an exception to it, and it is used where destruction would be disproportionate.
- (d) **Buyers.** EgoVista notifies each Buyer that has received the Submission 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. EgoVista is not responsible for a Buyer’s refusal based on a legitimate exception under article 17.3 GDPR (in particular scientific research, or the exercise or defence of legal claims). **EgoVista remains responsible for the effective notification, and cannot guarantee an outcome that depends on the action of a third party.**

**13.4 Article 17.3 limits.** Some Submissions 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.

**13.5 Derivatives — what erasure does not reach.** An erasure request bears on the Submission and on the records concerning it. **It does not extend to the synthetic and simulated derivatives described in Section 5.3(f-bis), nor to model weights resulting from training.**

Those objects do not incorporate the Submission and are not designed to permit its reconstitution. EgoVista does not represent that it is technically possible to remove the contribution of a given Submission from a model that has already been trained: no established technique achieves this, and the models concerned are in most cases held by Buyers and not by EgoVista.

What EgoVista undertakes is to delete the source material as described in Section 13.3, to notify the Buyers concerned, and to require of every Buyer, by contract, that it give effect to an erasure notified by EgoVista in its own systems and its own subsequent training. The Contributor is informed of this limit before contributing, and it is one of the reasons why Section 8.7 allows withdrawal at any time before Acceptance.

**13.6 Right of access and automated decisions.** Where a decision has been taken by automated processing alone (Section 8.1), the Contributor may obtain, on request, meaningful information about the logic involved and about the significance and the envisaged consequences of that processing for him/her. That information consists of the criteria applied, published in the Contributor Guidelines and on the Mission page, the reason relied upon, and the elements of the Submission on which the assessment was based. It does not extend to the internal thresholds of EgoVista’s quality-control scale, which are a trade secret within the meaning of articles L151-1 and following of the French Commercial Code, nor to any information whose disclosure would allow the criteria to be circumvented.

**13.7 Right to object.** Where a processing operation rests on EgoVista’s legitimate interest, the Contributor may object to it at any time. Objecting to the annotation of a Submission has the effect of rendering that Submission unusable; EgoVista therefore treats such an objection as a request for erasure of the Submission concerned, and Section 13.3 applies. Compensation already credited for a Submission Accepted before the objection remains due and is not affected.

## 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. General Provisions

**16.1 Notices and contact.** General inquiries: [contact@egovista.app](mailto:contact@egovista.app). Data protection: [privacy@egovista.app](mailto:privacy@egovista.app). Postal address: EgoVista SAS, registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under SIREN 106 489 735, 47 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France.

**16.2 Assignment.** EgoVista may assign these Terms to any successor entity (notably in case of merger, acquisition, or restructuring), subject to GDPR notification to the Contributor. The Contributor may not assign these Terms without EgoVista’s prior written consent.

**16.3 Severability.** If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unenforceable, abusive or contrary to applicable law, that provision is deemed unwritten and the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith a replacement provision that preserves the original intent within legal bounds.

**16.4 Entire agreement.** These Terms, together with the [Privacy Policy](/privacy) v2.3, the [Contributor Guidelines](/guidelines) v1.1, the requirements stated on the page of each Mission the Contributor joins, and any Particular Conditions accepted under Section 1.5, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties in respect of the subject-matter and supersede all prior agreements.

**16.5 Amendments and version control.** EgoVista may amend these Terms with thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Contributor’s registered email address. Amendments apply prospectively only. The Contributor may terminate (Section 12.1) if disagreeing with the amendments. Current version: v2.3, in force from 7 August 2026, binding on each Contributor from his/her acceptance of it (Section 1.3). Previous versions, together with the fingerprint of each, remain published at [egovista.app/legal/cgu](/legal/cgu) and may also be requested at [privacy@egovista.app](mailto:privacy@egovista.app).

**16.6 Language.** These Terms are provided in English. Contributors residing in France retain the benefit of mandatory provisions of French consumer law applicable to consumers, in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 593/2008 (“Rome I”), regardless of the language of the contract. 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 Submissions), 6 (in respect of amounts already due), 7, 9.5, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 16 survive termination.

## Annex 1 — Model Release Template

This Model Release must be obtained by the Contributor from any individual who appears identifiably in a Submission as a subject (not merely incidentally captured), prior to upload to the EgoVista platform. EgoVista may request copies at any time.

**MODEL RELEASE / AUTORISATION DE DROIT À L’IMAGE**

I, the undersigned [Full name], born on [DOB], residing at [Address], hereby authorize [Contributor name] and EgoVista SAS (a French company registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under SIREN 106 489 735, located at 47 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France) to use my image as it appears in the recording(s) made on [Date], in the context of the Contributor’s egocentric contribution to the EgoVista platform.

This authorization covers:

- Use of my image for the production of annotated datasets distributed by EgoVista to its business customers (robotics laboratories, AI foundation laboratories, research institutions).
- Use of my image for training, fine-tuning, evaluation, testing and deployment of artificial intelligence and robotics models by EgoVista’s business customers.
- Reproduction, adaptation, distribution and communication of my image for the above purposes, worldwide, for the legal duration of the Contributor’s intellectual property rights (70 years *post mortem auctoris* under Article L.123-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code).

Where the recording is made under a Mission which expressly provides for the collection of the sound track, and only in that case, this authorization also covers my voice as recorded, for the same purposes, territory and duration. **It excludes any voice cloning or voice synthesis, and any training of a model whose purpose is to reproduce or imitate an individual voice.**

I acknowledge that:

- EgoVista applies automated facial occultation (blurring) to recordings before any processing outside its own European environment and before any delivery to its customers. Blurring operates on visual elements, does not guarantee exhaustive detection, and the blurred material remains personal data and is not anonymous.
- I retain the right to request erasure of my image at any time by writing to [privacy@egovista.app](mailto:privacy@egovista.app), in accordance with Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation, subject to the limits stated in Section 13.5 of the Contributor Terms of Service.
- This authorization is granted free of charge or against the symbolic consideration of: [amount, may be zero].

Signed at [Place], on [Date].
