Observer Terms of Use

The following terms of service (the “TOS”) form a binding agreement between you and Observa, Inc. (together with our affiliates, collectively referred to herein as “Observa”, “us”, or “we”) that governs your use of our services facilitated through our website located at www.observanow.com (our “Website”), mobile apps, and other online areas owned or operated by us (“Services”). The term “you” refers to the person accessing or using the Services. You should print or otherwise save a copy of these TOS for your records.

Please Read These TOS Carefully Before Using Any Observa Services

By using the Services, you are agreeing to these TOS, as well as our Privacy Policy and additional guidelines, policies or rules applicable to specific services and/or features that are a part of, or may be from time to time made a part of, our Services, such as subscription-based services, contests or sweepstakes (collectively, the “Guidelines”). Subject to applicable law, the Guidelines are a part of these TOS and are expressly incorporated herein by this reference; provided that in the event of a conflict between any specific Guideline and these TOS, the terms of any such Guideline shall prevail over these TOS. If you do not agree to any of these TOS, you must cease use of our Services.

You acknowledge that these TOS are supported by reasonable and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that such consideration includes your use of the Services and receipt of data, materials and information available at or through the Services.

We may update or change these TOS from time to time and recommend that you review these TOS on a regular basis. The most current version of these TOS may be viewed at www.observanow.com/observer-terms-of-use.

If we make a change to these TOS, the revised version of these TOS will be posted on our Website. You understand and agree that your continued use of our Services after these TOS have changed constitutes your acceptance of these TOS as revised. Without limiting the foregoing, if we make a change to these TOS that materially impacts your use of our Services, we may post notice of any such change on our Website, notify you as you login to use our Service, and/or email you notice of any such change to the email address submitted in connection with your account.

Our Services

Observa provides a platform by which companies and other organizations (each, a “Brand”) can post opportunities (each, an “Opportunity”) for registered users of the Services (“Users”) to use the Observa smartphone application (the “Observa App”) to validate, among other things, whether and how the Brand's products are being marketed and promoted correctly at specific retail locations.

Observation Opportunities

Upon accepting these TOS, a User can use the Observa App to find, accept, perform, submit and be compensated for completed and validated Opportunities. The first User to accept an Opportunity has the ability to complete the tasks required to be paid the stated Observation Fee.

These tasks, collectively called an “Observation,” usually involve taking pictures of the Brand's item(s) on a retailer's shelves and answering certain questions about stocking levels, product placement, pricing, promotion and other items identified by the Brand. When a User submits an Observation (a “Submission”) for acceptance, Observa validates (i) that the User was in fact at the required location for the Submission and (ii) that the tasks required for the Observation were properly completed. If a User accepts an Opportunity, but fails to complete it within two hours or a different time limit determined by the Brand, or if the User submits an incomplete or otherwise insufficient or improper Observation based on the Brand's requirements for the Observation, Observa will reject the Observation and the Opportunity will immediately become available for you or for another User to accept.

Observation Fees

When an Observation is reviewed and accepted by Observa (an “Accepted Observation”), Observa will automatically begin processing payment of the Brand's agreed upon Observation Fee to the User.

Payment of Taxes on Observation Fees

You understand that it is solely your obligation to pay all state and Federal income taxes and any other taxes that are owed by you as a result of your receipt of Observation Fees. Such fees likely constitute taxable “ordinary income” under applicable state and Federal laws. If you are uncertain about your tax obligations, you should contact a tax advisor. You will not receive any tax documentation in the form of an IRS Form 1099, IRS Form 1099-K, or other type of form or notice unless you earn Observations Fees in excess of the annual minimum amount necessary to mandate that you receive such a form. Forms are issued by Observa's payment processors, such as PayPal.

No Agency, Employment, or Contractor Relationship

Observa is engaged by each Brand pursuant to separate terms and conditions solely to post Opportunities through Observa and to provide the Brand's actionable business information from the data and information submitted by Users. Observa is not a retailer of any products offered by the Brands and Observa is not an agent or contractor for any Brands.

You understand and agree that you are not an employee, agent or affiliate of Observa or of any of the Brands, but rather a user of the Observa Services, subject to these TOS. Observa's responsibility to you is limited solely to processing Observation Fee payments earned by you as described in these TOS. Observa may discontinue or alter the Services at any time in its own discretion, and it may block your access to the Services if it believes you have repeatedly failed to follow the instructions for the Services are if it believes you have used the Services inappropriately in any way. If you submit Observations deemed by Observa to be incomplete, insufficient, fraudulent or otherwise inappropriate, Observa may prohibit you from using the Observa App or may limit the number and/or types of Opportunities you are presented by the Observa App.

You agree that any expenses incurred by you in submitting Observations, such as data or internet charges imposed by your data or internet providers or traveling to make Observations, shall be your sole responsibility.

Observa shall not be liable or responsible for any injuries you sustain in making or submitting Observations, including slips or falls while visiting retailers to make Observations, or while you are traveling to make Observations. You also accept the possibility that you may walk or drive to a retailer to make an Observation but then find that another User has accepted and/or submitted the same Observation prior to your arrival at the retailer, and Observa shall have no liability to you for such missed Opportunities or for any temporary interruption or permanent termination of the Services.

Ownership of Observation Submissions and Related Content

You agree that all pictures, answers, texts and other information and data submitted by you in the course of submitting Observations through the Services (“Observation Content”) immediately become the property of Observa and Observa alone shall own all right, title and interest in all Observation Content and shall be free to do with it as it pleases, including sharing it with Brands and/or sharing it or selling it in any form and in any manner whatsoever with or to any third party. You understand and agree that you will not have access to the content included in your Observations once they have been submitted.

This transfer of your rights in and to any Observation Content submitted by you includes all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights and other intellectual and industrial property rights you own or control to use, reproduce, transmit, display, exhibit, distribute, index, comment on, modify, create derivative works based upon, perform and otherwise exploit such Observation Content, in whole or in part, in all media formats and channels now known or hereafter devised (including on the Site, on third party websites, on our broadband and wireless platforms, products and services, on physical media) for any and all purposes including, without limitation, entertainment, news, advertising, promotional, marketing, publicity, trade or commercial purposes, all without further notice to you, with or without attribution, and without the requirement of any permission from or payment to you or to any other person or entity.

By submitting Observation Content through the Services, you represent and warrant that the Observation Content and your communication thereof conform to these TOS and that you own or have the necessary rights, licenses, consents and permissions, without the need for any permission from or payment to any other person or entity, to exploit, and to authorize us to exploit, such Submission in all manners contemplated by these terms of use.

You hereby appoint us as your agent with full power to enter into and execute any document and/or do any act which might be necessary to confirm the grant of rights, consents, agreements, assignments and waivers set forth in these terms of use.

To the extent any “moral rights,” “ancillary rights,” or similar rights (“Moral Rights”) in or to the Observation Content exist and are not exclusively owned by us and to the extent you are able to do so under applicable law, you agree not to enforce any such rights as to us or our licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users, and you shall procure the same agreement not to enforce from any others who may possess such rights. To the extent such an agreement is unenforceable, you hereby give a Moral Rights Consent. To the extent any other person has Moral Rights in or to the Observation Content, you must obtain a Moral Rights Consent from that person and provide it on request to us. “Moral Rights Consent” means a waiver of moral rights to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and an unconditional consent to any act or omission in relation to the Observation Content by or on our behalf or any licensee or subsequent owner of copyright in the Observation Content, including an act or omission which would, but for these terms of use, infringe your moral rights.

Governing Law

Except to the extent expressly provided in the following paragraph, these TOS and the relationship between you and Observa shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, excluding its conflicts of law provisions.

Arbitration Agreement

Except in cases where Observa believes you have engaged in fraud, other illegal behavior, or any other form of willful and serious misconduct, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Observa relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the TOS or your use of or access to Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions

YOU AND OBSERVA AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND OBSERVA AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER OBSERVA USERS.

Arbitration Procedures

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of the Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate or Terms is void or voidable.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate.

The arbitration shall be held in King County, Washington or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or Observa may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Observa, subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or Observa, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Observa users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Observa user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Arbitration Costs and Expenses

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate.

Severability of Arbitration Provisions

With the exception of any of the provisions in the paragraph above captioned Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions, if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of these provisions requiring arbitration is invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions regarding agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in the paragraph above captioned Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of the above provisions regarding arbitration shall be null and void. The remainder of these TOS will continue to apply.

Venue and Jurisdiction for Legal Disputes

Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the above arbitration provisions are deemed or found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Observa must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in King County, Washington. You and Observa agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within King County, Washington for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

General

These TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and Observa, govern your use of the Services and completely replace any prior agreements between you and Observa in relation to the Services. You may also be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content, or third-party software. If any part of these TOS is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of Observa to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these TOS, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these TOS. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these TOS or the use of the Service must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose or be forever barred.
