Terms of Service

1. WHO WE ARE

2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNTS

1. 18+ only. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services.
2. Account + questionnaire. To participate, you must create an account and complete any onboarding questionnaire truthfully.
3. Admin approval required. Participation in the program is by invitation/approval only. Genmo may approve, reject, or remove participants in its sole discretion.
4. Account security. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials.

3. PROGRAM OVERVIEW

1. After Admin approval, you may download and install the Client.
2. You provide your own games and hardware. We do not provide games, accounts, licenses, or hardware.
3. When you play a game that Genmo has approved for the program (an "Approved Game") with the Client running, the Client may capture:
   • gameplay video/audio ("Footage"); and
   • associated input and telemetry ("Input Data"), such as mouse/trackpad movement, keyboard/controller input events, and basic performance metrics.
4. When you finish a session, you click Submit to upload Footage and Input Data for review.
5. Genmo reviews submissions to determine whether they satisfy our quality, technical, and content standards. Only submissions Genmo approves ("Approved Footage") are eligible for payment.

4. COMMUNITY GUIDELINES, APPROVED GAMES, AND NO AUTOMATION

1. Community Guidelines. Your use of the Services is subject to our Community Guidelines (including capture guidelines and prohibited conduct), which are incorporated by reference and available on the Grunt website (https://www.grunt.games) (the "Community Guidelines").
2. Approved Games only. You may record and submit Footage only from Approved Games that Genmo designates in the Site, Client, or program materials.
3. Updates. Genmo may update the Community Guidelines (including quality standards, capture requirements, and prohibited conduct) at any time. If you continue using the Services after an update becomes effective, you agree to the updated Guidelines.
4. No bots/automation. You may not use bots, scripts, macros, automation tools, emulators, or any other method to automate gameplay, inputs, recording, submission, or program participation. Use of automation is grounds for immediate suspension/termination without notice and may result in payment withholding or clawback.

5. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES; NO GAME LICENSE; PUBLISHER COMPLIANCE

1. No license from Genmo. Genmo does not grant you any license or permission to play, stream, capture, or record any specific game. Any right to play or record a game comes from the game publisher/platform and your own licenses.
2. Publisher/platform compliance. You represent and warrant that your use of the Client with any game complies with:
   • that game's EULA/terms of service;
   • streaming/content/capture policies;
   • anti-cheat rules; and
   • applicable platform terms (e.g., Steam, Epic, console platforms).
3. Lawful use. You will use the Services only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms and the Community Guidelines.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY (PROGRAM MATERIALS)

1. Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" includes (without limitation) any non-public information about the Services and program, including questionnaires, onboarding materials, capture/quality standards, rates, program rules, communications from Admin, workflows, and any technical or operational details of the Client or review process.
2. Non-disclosure. You will not disclose Confidential Information to any third party or use it for any purpose other than participating in the program.
3. Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include information that you can demonstrate is (a) publicly available through no breach by you, (b) lawfully received from a third party without a confidentiality obligation, or (c) independently developed by you without use of Confidential Information.
4. Compelled disclosure. If you are legally required to disclose Confidential Information, you will (to the extent permitted by law) give Genmo prompt notice and reasonably cooperate with Genmo's efforts to seek protective treatment.

7. OWNERSHIP; ASSIGNMENT AND LICENSE

8. PAYMENTS (USD; DISCRETION; THRESHOLDS; FEES; AUDITS; CLAWBACKS)

1. Rates and currency. Rewards for Approved Footage are determined by Genmo and may vary by game, project, or campaign (the "Rate"). All Rates are denominated in U.S. Dollars (USD).
2. Genmo decides approval and payable time. Genmo, in its sole discretion, determines whether any submission qualifies as Approved Footage and how much time is payable, based on quality standards, technical standards, and the Community Guidelines (as determined by Genmo). Genmo's determinations are final for payment eligibility.
3. Minimum payout thresholds. Genmo may set and change a minimum balance and/or minimum payout threshold (for example, $10) and may require identity/payment verification. Genmo has no obligation to issue a payout unless and until the applicable threshold and requirements are met.
4. Payment provider. Payments are made through third-party payment providers. Your use of those providers is governed by their terms and privacy policies.
5. Fees and taxes. You are solely responsible for:
   • all taxes and reporting obligations related to payments you receive; and
   • all transaction fees and costs charged in connection with payouts (including payment provider fees, processing fees, currency conversion fees, withdrawal fees, or bank fees).
6. Withholding; reversals. Genmo may withhold, delay, reverse, or deny payment where we believe there is fraud, misuse, automation, guideline violations, chargebacks, error, or other suspected wrongdoing.
7. Quality audits and clawbacks. Genmo may audit Footage and Input Data before or after a payout. If we determine that Footage was in violation of these Terms or the Community Guidelines (including due to automation/bots) after payment has been issued, Genmo may (a) deduct the paid amount from your future earnings (a "Clawback"), (b) require repayment, and/or (c) suspend or terminate your account.
8. Inactivity; unclaimed funds. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Genmo may treat unpaid balances as inactive after a period of account inactivity and may handle such balances in accordance with applicable unclaimed property laws (including escheatment requirements).

9. SANCTIONS; EXPORT CONTROLS; LAWFUL USE

1. You will comply with all applicable laws in connection with your use of the Services.
2. You represent and warrant that:
   • neither you nor (if applicable) your financial institution(s) are subject to sanctions or designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties maintained by the United Nations, the U.S. government (including OFAC), the European Union, or other applicable authorities; and
   • you are not located in, and will not use the Services from, any country or region subject to a U.S. embargo or designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist-supporting country.
3. You may not export, re-export, or transmit any Confidential Information or restricted technology in violation of applicable export control or sanctions laws.

16. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

1. Agreement to arbitrate. Except as provided in Section 16.2, you and Genmo agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, not in court.
2. Exceptions. Either party may:
   • bring an individual claim in small claims court (if eligible); and
   • seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for misuse of intellectual property or breach of confidentiality.

   If applicable law does not allow arbitration of a particular claim for public injunctive relief, that claim will be severed and decided by a court, while the remaining claims proceed in arbitration.

3. No class actions. You and Genmo agree to bring disputes only on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action, including class arbitration.
4. Rules and forum. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable rules. Unless you and Genmo agree otherwise, arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California, or remotely by videoconference.
5. Fees. Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA rules, but Genmo will pay required filing and arbitration fees to the extent required by those rules or applicable law.
6. Time limit. Any claim must be brought within the time period required by applicable law.
7. Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class action waiver by sending written notice to legal@grunt.games within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration.

17. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE

1. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of Section 16.
2. If a dispute is found not subject to arbitration, it will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and you and Genmo consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

18. MISCELLANEOUS

1. Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, form the entire agreement between you and Genmo regarding the Services.
2. Assignment. You may not assign these Terms or your account without Genmo's prior written consent. Genmo may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
3. Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect.
