Last Updated on SEP 01, 2020

1. ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF USE

These terms of use (“Terms of Use”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Tasker” or “you”) and Frictionless Enterprises, Inc. (“Frictionless” or “we” or “us”) and govern your use of the Hyer Platform. For the purposes of these Terms of Use, the term “Hyer Platform” means, collectively, Frictionless’ website (https://www.gohyer.com, the “Site”), the Hyer mobile application (the “App”), and any related services provided by Frictionless, including without limitation communications and information (whether in writing, orally, or otherwise) provided by Frictionless.

Any personal data you submit to the Hyer Platform or which we collect about you is governed by our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”). A copy of our Privacy Policy is available here. You acknowledge that by using the Hyer Platform you have reviewed the Privacy Policy.

The use of the Hyer Platform is also governed by the general terms and conditions (the “General Terms of Use”). A copy of our General Terms of Use is available here. You acknowledge that by using the Hyer Platform you have reviewed the General Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and the General Terms of Use together are hereinafter referred to as this “Agreement”.

Your use of the Hyer Platform constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions in these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, the General Terms of Use, and any future amendments and additions to this Agreement as we may publish from time to time.

THIS AGREEMENT GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND FRICTIONLESS CAN BE RESOLVED. IT CONTAINS A BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 29, AS APPLICABLE). PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING, IF APPLICABLE, YOUR RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION.

IN ADDITION, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION, TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IN SECTION 29, AS APPLICABLE) AND YOU HAVE ACCEPTED ALL OF ITS TERMS.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD NOT USE OR ACCESS THE HYER PLATFORM.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the provisions of these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and the General Terms of Use, the provisions of these Terms of Use will take precedence.

2. THE HYER PLATFORM

The Hyer Platform is a communications platform which enables connections between Customers and Taskers. “Customers” are individuals or businesses seeking to obtain short-term services (“Tasks”) from individuals seeking to perform such Tasks (“Taskers”).

The Customer defines the terms of a Task, and if the Tasker agrees to the terms of your Task, you and the Customer form a legally binding services contract (the “Task Agreement”), in accordance with the terms in Section 4.

For the purposes of these Terms of Use, “Users” means Customers and Taskers together.

As a Tasker, you acknowledge that the Hyer Platform only enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Tasks. Frictionless is not responsible for the performance or communications of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect of Tasks, Taskers, Customers, nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions of any Users, or of any ratings provided by Users with respect to each other. Frictionless makes no warranties or representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Tasks requested or services provided by, or the communications of or between, Users identified through the Hyer Platform, whether in public, private, or offline interactions or otherwise.

You further acknowledge that:

• (i) the Hyer Platform allows you to connect with Customers for a variety of Tasks;
• (ii) you are solely responsible for determining which Task you will choose to accept and how, when, and where you will perform the Task;
• (iii) there is no minimum or maximum number of Tasks you can be engaged and Hyer Platform does not guarantee you any minimum amount of Tasks;
• (iv) Frictionless does not restrict your right to provide services through other parties, including competitors of the Hyer Platform;
• (v) you are an independent contractor; Frictionless is not a temporary employment agency or an employer and therefore does not provide you with employee benefits, workers’ compensation or withhold taxes from your fees;
• (vi) Frictionless does not pay a salary or hourly rate to Taskers; the Hyer Platform facilitates Customer’s payment of the rates set by the Customer and the Tasker and the generation of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 1099-MISC or 1099-K via a third party Payment Service Provider (“PSP”);
• (vii) Frictionless will not provide a performance assessment for you, does not oversee your actual work or will instruct you as to how the work will be performed, or the method, time or process you should use to perform Tasks;
• (viii) Frictionless shall not terminate a Task unless you violate the terms of this Agreement or fail to produce results in accordance with the Task Agreement and this Agreement;
• (ix) Frictionless does not provide training, tools, equipment, employee benefits, or expense reimbursements to you;
• (x) your use of the Hyer Platform is at your own risk, the Hyer Platform is provided “as is” and without any warranties; Frictionless is not responsible for, and you release us from, any claims or losses resulting from your use of the Hyer Platform or a Customer’s conduct;
• (xi) you shall have no legal authority to enter into contracts on Frictionless’ behalf or otherwise bind Frictionless in any way, and you shall not hold yourself out as having such authority; and
• (xii) any disputes between you and us are resolved via individual binding arbitration unless you opt out, in accordance to Section 29(d).

3. TASKER VETTING

In Frictionless’ sole discretion, you may be subject to an extensive vetting process before you can register for and use the Hyer Platform, including but not limited to a verification of your identity, using third-party services as appropriate (“Identity Checks”).

Frictionless Identity Checks include, but are not limited to, (i) sex offender’s registry checks, (ii) county, state, federal and national criminal records checks, (iii) domestic and international terrorist watchlist checks, and (iv) motor vehicle records checks. You acknowledge that in order to perform Tasks on the Hyer Platform you need to consent to Identity Checks as often as required by Frictionless in compliance with applicable law (including without limitation the Fair Credit Reporting Act). You will be directed to the third-party background check service site to provide personally identifying information, and provide consent to any Identity Check.

Acceptance and rejection of Taskers based on an Identity Check will be based on individualized assessment by Frictionless of the offenses found, which shall be driven by multiple criteria including, without limitation, the severity, nature, and time of each offence.

Specific information about Identity Checks criteria are accessible through frequently asked questions page (the “Hyer FAQ” at https://www.gohyer.com/faq).

When interacting with Customers, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety, data, and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know.

FRICTIONLESS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FALSE OR MISLEADING STATEMENTS MADE BY USERS OF THE HYER PLATFORM. NEITHER FRICTIONLESS NOR ITS PARENTS, AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS, INCLUDING THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, INVESTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, ATTORNEYS, REPRESENTATIVES, INSURERS, EMPLOYEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (TOGETHER, “AFFILIATES”) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, ACTS, OR OMISSIONS, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE HYER PLATFORM AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE FRICTIONLESS AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE HYER PLATFORM.

4. TASK AGREEMENT

You acknowledge and agree that a Task Agreement is formed when you agree on the terms of a Task with a Customer. Agreement on the terms of a Task is obtained after the description of a Task is reviewed by you in the App, and then accepted through either of the following mechanisms:

• (i) an “Accept” button for a private Task (not publicly visible and sent directly to you or a set of Taskers); or
• (ii) an “Apply” button for a public Task (visible to all Taskers in the App) in which case the Customer confirms the Tasker by tapping on the “Confirm this Tasker” button.

In either case, the Task goes into “Scheduled” status, indicating the acceptance of the terms of a Task Agreement by you and Customer.

The terms of the Task Agreement include the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the Hyer Platform, and any other contractual terms accepted by you and your Customer to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Agreement, and do not expand Frictionless’ obligations or restrict Frictionless’ rights under this Agreement. You agree that Frictionless is not a party to any Task Agreement and the formation of a Task Agreement will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between Frictionless and you, nor will it create an employment relationship between the Customer and yourself. Frictionless’ role is providing the Hyer Platform and acting as a limited payment and exclusive collection agent for you to facilitate payments to you through the Hyer Platform using the PSP in respect of Tasks you perform. The Customer shall pay you directly for completed Tasks through the PSP as indicated on the Hyer Platform at the rates agreed to by the Users in the Task Agreement.

While using the Hyer Platform, Customers, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Task is performed and/or completed. Customers who elect not to be present when a Task is performed and/or completed agree that if someone other than them is present when the Task is performed, they are appointing that person as their agent.

Each User agrees to comply with the Task Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Task. Both Users agree to notify Frictionless of any disputes prior to negotiation of or filing of any claims and to negotiate any dispute informally via company representatives for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any proceeding. Frictionless reserves the right to suspend or terminate any User account (“Account”) or Task pending the resolution of any dispute.

5. EXCLUDED TASKS

You hereby agree not to perform any of the following as Tasks through the Hyer Platform:

• (i) Tasks that make you unsafe or reasonably likely to cause injury to you;
• (ii) Tasks that involve the handling of weapons, explosives or hazardous materials; or
• (iii) any Task that is illegal or criminal in nature in the state or locality in which it is posted or takes place.

6. PAYMENT

Payment of the Task Fee through the Hyer Platform is made directly from the Customer to you via the PSP, and not by Frictionless. For the avoidance of doubt, Frictionless is not obligated to pay you for Customer’s failure to pay for services.

Customers will be charged a Task fee for services performed by a Tasker pursuant to the rates quoted via the Hyer Platform (the “Task Fee”), and may be assessed a service fee to support the Hyer Platform (the “Service Fee”), and a fee for payment processing (the “PSP Fee”).

You may be required to register with the PSP, agree to terms of service of the PSP, and go through a vetting process at the request of the PSP to set up your account with the PSP (the “PSP Services Agreement”). By accepting these Terms of Use, you agree that you have downloaded or printed, and reviewed and agreed to, the PSP Services Agreement. Please note that Frictionless is not a party to the PSP Services Agreement and that Frictionless has no obligations, responsibility or liability to any Tasker or other party under the PSP Services Agreement.

As a Tasker, upon release of payment, you will receive the Task Fee paid by Customer minus the Service Fee and PSP Fee.

The Task Fee will initially be credited to your PSP account, and will be paid out to you on a schedule defined by Frictionless.

Customers shall not pay any Tasker for any Task, directly or indirectly, through any other means.

Frictionless reserves the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, upon request from Customer or Tasker, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Hyer Platform, to (i) place on hold any Task payment, (ii) refund or provide credits, or arrange for the PSP to do so, or (iii) barring the Customer or Tasker from using the Hyer Platform.

Taskers will be liable for any taxes required to be paid on the Tasks provided under the Agreement.

7. BACKGROUND CHECK COSTS

All of our background and MVR checks are done through Checkr, a third-party company we have partnered with to ensure each background check is as safe and secure as possible. Company reserves the right to pass along all or a portion of the costs incurred from Checkr. For latest information, please visit the Hyer Help Center. 

8. YOUR REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES

• (vii) you will fulfill the commitments you make to Custumers, including without limitation performing the Task(s) agreed, communicating clearly and promptly through communication channels provided by the Hyer Platform and/or responding to invitations promptly, and being present and/or available at the time you agree upon with your Customer;

• (ix) other than as fully and promptly disclosed to Frictionless, you do not have any motivation, status, or interest which Frictionless may reasonably wish to know about in connection with the Hyer Platform, including without limitation, if you are using or will or intend to use the Hyer Platform for any journalistic or investigative purpose, or any unlawful purpose; further, you hereby represent and warrant that you will promptly disclose to Frictionless in writing any such motivation, status or interest, whether existing prior to registration or as arises during your use of the Hyer Platform; and
• (x) you further represent and warrant that when using or accessing the Hyer Platform, you will act in good faith and in accordance with any applicable local, state, national, or international law or custom.

9. TASKER PROVISIONS

As a Tasker, you are solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by you in connection with the performance of the Services, and in no event shall Frictionless reimburse, or be required to reimburse, you for any tools, materials, costs or expenses used in connection with the Services. You shall furnish and maintain, at your own expense, the tools, equipment, supplies, and other materials used to perform the Services. You, at your sole discretion, shall determine what equipment, supplies, and materials are necessary to perform the Services, and where, when, and at what cost, to purchase or maintain any necessary equipment, supplies, tools, and materials.

10.WORKER CLASSIFICATION

FRICTIONLESS DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS. EACH CUSTOMER AND TASKER ASSUME ALL LIABILITY FOR PROPER CLASSIFICATION OF THE TASKER’S STATUS AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND NOT EMPLOYEES. YOU INDEMNIFY AND HOLD FRICTIONLESS AND ITS AFFILIATES HARMLESS FROM ALL LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, FINES, PENALTIES OR OTHER COSTS OR EXPENSES THAT YOU OR TASKERS MAY INCUR OR BECOME ENTITLED TO, WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, LAW, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, IN RESPECT OF TASKS OR SERVICE AGREEMENTS OR THE USE OF THE HYER PLATFORM, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO MISCLASSIFICATION OF TASKERS AND THE TERMINATION OR CESSATION OF ANY TASKS, SERVICE AGREEMENTS, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF THE HYER PLATFORM.

11. NO AGENCY; NO EMPLOYMENT

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

Taskers do not have authority to enter into written or oral (whether implied or express) contracts on behalf of Frictionless. Each Tasker acknowledges and agrees that Frictionless does not, in any way, supervise, scope, direct, control or monitor a Tasker’s work or Tasks performed in any manner. Frictionless does not set a Tasker’s work hours or location of work. Frictionless will not provide any equipment, tools, labor or materials needed for a particular Task. Frictionless does not provide any supervision to Taskers.

The Hyer Platform is not an employment agency service or business and Frictionless is not an employer of any Tasker. As such, Frictionless is not responsible for and will not be liable for workers’ compensation or any tax payments or withholding, including but not limited to applicable sales taxes, unemployment or employment insurance, pension plan, social security, disability insurance or any other applicable federal or state withholdings in connection with a Tasker’s use of the Hyer Platform. You acknowledge and confirm that you are responsible for exercising your own business judgment in entering into Task Agreements and performing Tasks and that, depending on how they exercise such business judgment, there is a chance for individual profit or loss.

12. LICENSING

Frictionless does not oversee, monitor or supervise the posting, scoping or performance of Tasks.

Customers and Taskers are responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations before undertaking Tasks. Certain types of Tasks and services may be prohibited altogether, and it is each Customer’s and Tasker’s responsibility to avoid such prohibited Tasks and services. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Tasks and services on the Hyer Platform, you can and should first seek your own legal assistance.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND INSURANCE

You are not entitled to or eligible for any benefits that Frictionless or its Affiliates may make available to its employees, such as group health insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits. Because you are an independent contractor, Frictionless will not withhold or make payments for social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers’ compensation insurance on your behalf. Nor are you covered by any liability insurance maintained by Frictionless.

However, Frictionless has obtained Occupational Accident Insurance coverage for Taskers who have a “Covered Injury” (as defined in the applicable policy). Occupational Accident Insurance provides limited monetary benefits for certain medical expenses, disability, loss of life, survivor payments, dismemberment, and paralysis directly caused while performing Tasks contracted through the Hyer Platform. It does not provide coverage for work-related illnesses. For more detail on Occupational Accident Insurance, including a copy of the policy and claims procedures, please visit www.gohyer.com/faq. Please review the policy as the terms of the policy (which can change from time to time) govern all claims, not this summary. While Frictionless is pleased to provide this insurance, it only provides limited benefits and is not intended to provide comprehensive coverage for losses that you may sustain. You are responsible for assessing your individual insurance needs.

14. TAXES

You are solely responsible for filing all tax returns and submitting all payments as required by any federal, state, local, or foreign tax authority arising from payments made to you under this Agreement, and you agree to do so in a timely manner. You will comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws governing self-employed individuals, including laws requiring the payment of taxes, such as income and employment taxes, and social security, disability and other contributions. To the extent required by the IRS, Frictionless will report the payments paid to you for Tasks performed on the Hyer Platform by filing Form 1099-MISC or 1099-K with the IRS via the PSP. You consent to electronic delivery of Form 1099-MISC or 1099-K, if such form is required or filed. You agree to indemnify Frictionless for the cost of any tax liabilities incurred by Frictionless as a result of your failure to pay all applicable taxes in a timely manner. Frictionless may ask you to provide any proper reporting and payment of taxes information. Details are accessible in the Hyer FAQ, at https://www.gohyer.com/faq.

15. TASK CANCELLATION

The Hyer Platform is committed to providing a reliable, consistent, and highly responsive experience to Customers and Taskers alike. While we know schedules can change quickly, cancelling a Task with short notice causes Customers inconvenience. Therefore, no shows or cancellations without notice within twenty four (24) hours of Task start can result in deactivation of your account or a direct impact to your rating and placement of your account under review, respectively.

As a Tasker, although you may cancel your scheduled Tasks through the App if necessary, please understand that your cancellations are serious matters and may result in the suspension or deactivation of your Tasker Account.

Details on the Task cancellation policy and Customer responsibilities are accessible through the Hyer FAQ, at https://www.gohyer.com/faq.

16. COMMUNITY AREAS AND GUIDELINES; ACCEPTABLE USE

We want Hyer to be enjoyable and safe for everyone. These ground rules are designed to ensure that Customers and Taskers have a five-star experience when using Hyer.

You understand that all submissions made to Community Areas will be public and that you will be publicly identified by your name or login identification when communicating in Community Areas. Frictionless will not be responsible for the action of any Users with respect to any information or materials posted in Community Areas.

17. NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

Frictionless and its affiliates prohibit discrimination against Customers or Taskers based on race, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, marital status, gender identity, age or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or local law. Such discrimination includes, but is not limited to, refusing to provide or accept services based on any of these characteristics. Any Customer or Tasker found to have violated this prohibition will lose access to the Hyer Platform, in addition to any other liability under applicable law.

18. MOBILE APP UPDATES AND UPGRADES

By installing the App, you consent to the installation of the App and any updates or upgrades that are released through the Hyer Platform. The App (including any updates or upgrades) may (i) cause your device to automatically communicate with Frictionless’ servers to deliver the App functionality and to record usage metrics, (ii) affect App-related preferences or data stored on your device, and (iii) collect personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy. You can uninstall the App at any time.

19. RATINGS

To help maintain the quality of the Hyer Platform, Users (both Customers and Taskers) will have the opportunity to rate each other after the completion of Tasks. Rating thresholds will determine when an Account is placed under review, deactivated, or terminated. For details, please visit the Hyer FAQ, at https://www.gohyer.com/faq

20. ACCOUNT REVIEW, DEACTIVATION, AND TERMINATION

Frictionless may place under review, deactivate, or terminate your right to use the Hyer Platform in the event that we are investigating or believe that you have breached any provision of this Agreement, or by providing you with written or email notice. Such action will be effective immediately upon delivery of such notice.

Frictionless may place your Account under review if your ratings fall below a certain threshold, to ensure your ratings are improving.

If Frictionless places under review, deactivates or terminates your right to use the Hyer Platform pursuant to this Section 20, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new Account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party.

Frictionless reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any portion of the Hyer Platform at its sole discretion. Frictionless is not liable to you for any modification or discontinuance of all or any portion of the Hyer Platform. Frictionless has the right to restrict anyone from completing registration as a Tasker if Frictionless believes such person may threaten the safety and integrity of the Hyer Platform, or if, in Frictionless’ discretion, such restriction is necessary to address any other reasonable business concern.

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing all use of the Hyer Platform. Sections 16 through 30 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

You access such third-party websites at your own risk. Frictionless expressly disclaims any liability arising in connection with your use and/or viewing of any websites or other material associated with links that may appear on the Hyer Platform. You hereby agree to hold Frictionless harmless from any liability that may result from the use of links that may appear on the Hyer Platform.

As part of the functionality of the Hyer Platform, you may link your Account with online accounts you may have with third party service providers (such as Facebook) (each such account, a “Third-Party Account”) by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information through the Hyer Platform; or (ii) allowing Frictionless to access your Third-Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account.

By granting Frictionless access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that (A) Frictionless may access, make available and store (if applicable) any content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (the “SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Hyer Platform via your Account, including without limitation any friend lists, and (B) Frictionless may submit and receive additional information to your Third-Party Account to the extent you are notified of this when you link your Account with the Third-Party Account. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Use, all SNS Content, if any, shall be considered to be User Generated Content. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose, and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your Account on the Hyer Platform.

23. USER GENERATED CONTENT

The term “User Generated Content” means any information and materials you provide to Frictionless, or its Affiliates, its corporate partners, or other Users in connection with your registration for and use of the Hyer Platform, including without limitation information posted or transmitted for use in Community Areas. You are solely responsible for User Generated Content, and we act merely as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Generated Content. You acknowledge and agree that Frictionless is not involved in the creation or development of User Generated Content, disclaims any responsibility for User Generated Content, and cannot be liable for claims arising out of or relating to User Generated Content.

The Hyer Platform hosts User Generated Content relating to reviews and ratings of specific Taskers (“Feedback”). Such Feedback is such Customer’s opinion and not the opinion of Frictionless, has not been verified or approved by Frictionless and each Customer should undertake their own research to be satisfied that a specific Tasker is the right person for a Task. You agree that Frictionless is not responsible or liable for any Feedback or other User Generated Content. Frictionless encourages each Customer to give objective, constructive and honest Feedback about Taskers with whom they have transacted. Frictionless is not obligated to investigate any remarks posted by Customers for accuracy or reliability but may do so at its discretion.

You hereby grant Frictionless a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise all copyrights, publicity rights, and any other rights you have in your User Generated Content, in any media now known or not currently known in order to perform and improve upon the Hyer Platform.

If you provide to Frictionless any videotape, film, recording, photograph, voice, or all related instrumental, musical, or other sound effects (collectively, “Media”), in exchange for the right to use the Hyer Platform, hereby waives any and all moral rights in connection with such Media and irrevocably grants to Frictionless the non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, unrestricted, and perpetual right to:

• (i) Exhibit, distribute, display, transmit, and broadcast on any and all media, including, without limitation, the internet, any videotape, film, recording or photograph that such User provides to Frictionless or that Frictionless takes of Tasker, and use, reproduce, modify, or creative derivatives of such Tasker picture, silhouette and other reproductions of their physical likeness (as the same may appear in any still camera photograph and/or motion picture film or video) (collectively the “Physical Likeness”);
• (ii) Reproduce in all media any recordings of such Tasker’s voice, and all related instrumental, musical, or other sound effects (collectively, the “Voice”), made in connection with the Hyer Platform;
• (iii) Use, and permit to be used, such Tasker’s Physical Likeness and Voice in the advertising, marketing, and/or publicizing of the Hyer Platform in any media; and
• (iv) Use, and permit to be used, such Tasker’s name and identity in connection with the Hyer Platform.

You waive all rights and release Frictionless and its Affiliates from, and shall neither sue nor bring any proceeding against any such parties for, any claim or cause of action, whether now known or unknown, for defamation, invasion of right to privacy, publicity or personality or any similar matter, or based upon or relating to the use of your identity, likeness or voice in connection with the Hyer Platform.

You acknowledge that Frictionless shall not owe any financial or other remuneration for using the recordings provided hereunder by such Tasker, either for initial or subsequent transmission or playback, and further acknowledges that Frictionless is not responsible for any expense or liability incurred as a result of such Tasker’s recordings or participation in any recordings, including any loss of such recording data.

24. MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENTS

We have the right to:

• (i) remove or refuse to post any User Generated Content for any or no reason in our sole discretion;
• (ii) take any action with respect to any User Generated Content that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such User Generated Content violates the Terms of Use, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of Users of the Hyer Platform or the public or could create liability for Frictionless;
• (iii) disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that material posted by you violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy;
• (iv) take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Hyer Platform; or
• (v) terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Hyer Platform for any or no reason, including without limitation, any violation of this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any materials on or through the Hyer Platform. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS FRICTIONLESS AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSEES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we are under no obligation to edit or control User Generated Content that you or other Users post or publish, and we expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with User Generated Content. Frictionless may, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Generated Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms of Use or are otherwise objectionable.
