1. Introduction

Welcome to The ART Agency, LLC (ART, we, us or our). We operate research platforms where members (you, your or Member) can participate in surveys and related research activities (Activities) through our websites, mobile apps, and other platforms (together, the Platforms) as well as at in-person events and activations. These terms of service (the Terms) govern your use of the Platforms and participation in Activities.

By registering as a Member and participating in Activities, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must stop using the Platforms and cease participation in the Activities immediately.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

These Terms may be amended from time to time. Updated versions will be posted on the Platforms. Continued use of the Platforms or participation in Activities after such changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

Participation in Activities is voluntary and does not create an employment, contractor, agency or partnership relationship between you and us. You understand and agree that:

  • You are participating in Activities due to your desire to share your behavioral data, personal opinions and feedback in a non-professional, non-commercial capacity.
  • You are not entitled to wages, benefits or other compensation beyond items and swag that may be explicitly offered for specific Activities.
  • You are free to accept or decline any survey invitation and are under no obligation to complete any Activity.
  • We do not control when, where or whether you choose to participate in Activities you are invited to.
  • You are free to participate in similar activities offered by other organizations.
  • You will not be treated as an employee for any purpose, including but not limited to tax, wage, unemployment insurance, or workers’ compensation laws.

2. Membership and account

To become a member (as applicable) or otherwise participate in a survey, you must be at least 18 years old.

You are allowed to maintain only one membership account, and it must not be shared with or accessed by others. You must ensure that all information provided during the registration process and, at all times thereafter, is accurate, complete, and up to date.

We reserve the right to request that you verify your identity through means we deem appropriate from time to time. Verifying your identity may be a condition of your continued participation in Activities. We may suspend or terminate your account if, in our reasonable opinion, any information you have provided is false, inaccurate, inconsistent, or incomplete.

You must keep your account information secure and not disclose it to any third party. If you suspect any unauthorized access to your account or any breach of security, you must notify us immediately by using the ‘submit a request’ button in our help center accessible via the Platforms.

3. Surveys, User Content and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

You may receive invitations to participate in Activities in person, via email, push notifications, or other communication methods. You can choose to accept or decline any invitation.

By submitting responses or any content (User Content) through the Platforms, you grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and worldwide license to use, reproduce, analyze, modify, adapt, translate, distribute, and display such User Content in any format or media for any purpose connected with our business, including without limitation research, product and service development, marketing, analytics, artificial intelligence training and improvement, compliance, providing services to our clients (including making insights, outputs, and results available to them) and general commercial purposes.

You acknowledge that we may use User Content to train and develop AI systems, and that you may interact with AI tools during certain Activities. Any input you provide may be processed for learning or quality improvement. Further details are provided in our Privacy and Cookies Notice.

You agree that you will not use any form of AI, automation tool, script, bot, crawler, or other technological means to generate, submit, assist in generating, or submit User Content through the Platforms unless expressly permitted by us for a specific Activity. You must not scrape, extract, or otherwise access or reproduce any survey questions, answer options, or other materials available on our Platforms using automated means or for any purpose not expressly permitted by these Terms.

You acknowledge and agree that participating in Activities requires that you exercise independent judgment and that any User Content you provide is accurate (where it states facts) and genuinely held (where it states opinions).

You confirm that any User Content you provide does not contain viruses, malware or violate the rights of any third party or any applicable law or regulation.

You agree to participate in the Activities in good faith and to provide thoughtful, accurate, and considered responses. We may monitor response quality (including speed, consistency, and completeness) and reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, if we reasonably believe your participation falls below acceptable quality standards or does not reflect genuine engagement.

We may, although we are not obliged to do so, monitor, moderate, and remove any User Content that, in our opinion, breaches these Terms. This may be conducted through automated tools and/or human review.

We reserve the right to disclose your identity to law enforcement or to any third party who reasonably asserts that User Content you submit infringes their rights.

4. Account deletion, suspension and termination; prohibited activities

You may choose to unsubscribe from participation in our Activities at any time via the Platforms. This will stop all emails and survey invitations and prevent further active participation, but we may continue to retain and use your data in accordance with our Privacy and Cookies Notice.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THESE TERMS, ANY SALES THEREUNDER, AND/OR ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN YOU AND ART ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, ITS INTERPRETATION OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT RESULT FROM THESE TERMS, ART’S ADVERTISING, OR ANY RELATED PURCHASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW.

14. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

YOU AND ART ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND THE ART AGENCY, LLC its members, managers, agents, employees, successors, assigns, direct and indirect subsidiaries, and any third party providing any products or services to you in connection with your purchase (collectively “ART Parties”) arising from or relating in any way to your use of the Platforms, these Terms, its interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships that result from these Terms (including relationships with third parties who are not signatories to these Terms), ART’s advertising or any related purchase SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or these Terms is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS (or a substitute forum if both are unavailable) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Arbitration proceedings shall be governed by this provision and the applicable procedures of the selected arbitration administrator, including any applicable procedures for consumer-related disputes, in effect at the time the claim is filed. Consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in small-claims court rather than arbitration. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to the customer’s individual dispute or controversy. You agree to arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR ART OR THE ART PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS/USERS, OR ARBITRATE OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be class arbitration). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. This transaction shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA). Any award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Payment for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the rules of the applicable arbitration administrator, provided, that ART or the ART Parties will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party statutory attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law. Information on AAA or JAMS and their applicable rules are available at the following numbers and URLs: (i) American Arbitration Association: (800) 778-7879, www.adr.org; and (ii) JAMS: (800) 352-5267, www.jamsadr.com. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration each of you and the ART Parties waive any right to a jury trial. Moreover, each of you and ART and the ART Parties both agree that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights.
