This Agreement is a binding legal contract governed by Section 9. P3RSON, Inc., 1 Barker Avenue, White Plains, NY 10601, USA is the company that offers the Platform and its principal place of business. Notices to the company go to P3RSON, Inc., 348 West 57th Street #257, New York, NY 10019, USA.

Mail for legal process and privacy requests goes to Dino Fulgencio, P3RSON, Inc., 348 West 57th Street #257, New York, NY 10019, USA.

These Terms are part of the P3RSON Legal Suite 5.0. The Suite also includes the Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, the Guardian and COPPA policy, the Stripe Connect Addendum, the P3 Pro and Coins Addendum, the Agency and Brand Addendum, Creator Rights, Dispute Resolution, the Image Rights Addendum, the IP Policy, the Copyright Guide, the DMCA Policy, Notice and Counter-Notice, the Appeals Policy, the Transparency Report, the AI Features Notice, the Biometric and Sensitive Data Notice, the data documents, and the other documents listed at p3rson.com/legal. A document that applies to a feature you use also binds you for that feature. If two documents conflict, the more specific one controls for its subject. A booking contract controls usage rights in Commissioned Content (Section 2.3). Otherwise these Terms control.

1.4 Apple Terms (iOS App)

If you use the P3RSON iOS app: these Terms are between you and P3RSON, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and has no warranty obligation beyond refunding the purchase price where Apple's terms provide it. Apple is not responsible for claims about the app, including product liability, legal-compliance, consumer-protection and intellectual-property claims; P3RSON is. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for the iOS app and may enforce them against you. You confirm you are not in a country under a U.S. embargo or on a U.S. list of prohibited parties. Apple's Media Services Terms also apply to purchases made through Apple.

SECTION 2: CONTENT OWNERSHIP & LICENSING FRAMEWORK

P3RSON Positioning Statement: P3RSON is a creator-owned platform. Creators retain 100% copyright and ownership of their content. P3RSON claims no ownership interest in creator content and grants creators complete control over their digital assets.

When a Creator completes a paid booking for a Brand ("Commissioned Content"), the Brand receives specific, contractually-defined usage rights as negotiated in the booking contract and the Booking Protection terms in Section 3.4. The booking contract supersedes this Terms of Service for Commissioned Content usage rights.

Standard Booking Model — Default Usage Rights:

Premium Usage Rights (Negotiated): If Creator and Brand negotiate premium terms (higher payment), usage rights expand to:

Creator Representations for Commissioned Work: Creators represent and warrant that:

Booking Contract Precedence: In event of conflict between this Terms of Service and booking contract, booking contract terms control.

P3RSON Derivative Work Policy: No party (P3RSON, Brands, Viewers) may create Derivative Works from Creator Content except as explicitly authorized in writing by Creator.

SECTION 3: SERVICE DESCRIPTION & FEATURE TERMS

3.1 Platform Overview

P3RSON is a creator-to-brand talent marketplace connecting creators, talent, and agencies with brands seeking professional services. The Platform facilitates bookings, messaging, payments, content collaboration, and creator portfolio management.

3.3 Guardian Approval for Minors (COPPA Compliance)

Scope & Applicability:

Content Posting Restrictions:

Approval Workflow (applies only if and when guardian approval is offered in the app):

  1. Minor requests approval from guardian via email invitation
  2. Guardian verifies email address (6-digit code sent to email)
  3. Guardian reviews current Terms of Service (proof of review via hash validation)

  5. Approval becomes effective for posting and the private P3 Audit only; it does not authorize monetization or commercial activity

Approval Duration & Renewal:

Email Verification Requirements:

Private P3 Audit Boundary:

Strict No-Monetization Rule:

3.4 Booking Protection & Payment Splitting

Booking payments through Booking Protection start only when the app shows Booking Protection as available to you. This Section applies only from that date. In this Section, "Brand" means the brand or agency that books and pays for a booking.

What Booking Protection Is:

How Booking Protection Works:

  1. Brand sends a booking offer and the creator accepts it
  2. Brand pays the full booking amount by card; the payment goes to P3RSON's Stripe account
  3. Creator delivers the service and marks it delivered in the app
  4. Brand approves delivery, or the review period in the booking contract ends after delivery
  5. P3RSON transfers the creator's share, and any agency commission, from its Stripe balance to their Stripe accounts; Stripe then pays it out to their bank accounts automatically every day

Release Instructions: P3RSON releases the payment when (a) the Brand approves delivery, (b) the review period stated in the booking contract ends after the creator marks the work delivered and no dispute is open, or (c) a dispute is resolved in favor of release. The review period is 7 days unless the booking contract sets a different period of 1 to 30 days. If the Brand asks for a revision, the review period starts again when the creator delivers again. An open dispute stops automatic release.

Hold Period: P3RSON may hold funds for up to 90 days from funding and may release, return or extend a hold as described in this Section. This is P3RSON's right and not an automatic system guarantee. If a booking is unresolved on day 90 and no dispute is open, P3RSON may instruct a refund to the Brand. Funds in an open dispute may stay held until the dispute is resolved or as Stripe permits.

Split Calculation & Distribution:

Dispute Resolution:

Refund Eligibility Conditions:

The Stripe Connect Addendum has the full payout terms.

Media Kit and Digitals sharing

Today you can share one public link to your Media Kit and revoke it. Sharing with named people, Sent history, and open or view receipts are not available in this version; the parts below about them apply only once the app shows them to you.

People with your link can send a booking request or an inquiry through P3RSON. Requests on a kit you publish come to you. Requests on an agency Media Kit you approved go to your agency.

Before creating a share link, review the selected content and give this separate acknowledgement:

I have reviewed this Media Kit and agree to share the selected information and Digitals with people who have this link. I have the rights and permissions needed to share this content and any recipient details I enter. I understand that the link may be forwarded, that recipients are told about recorded opens and views, and that a frozen copy and activity history will be kept under the retention rule below.

I have reviewed this agency Media Kit. I agree that my agency may show the selected information and Digitals, with the agency's name, to people who have its link, until I remove it or my representation ends.

Anyone with this link can view the selected information until the link expires or you revoke it. Revoking the link stops future access through it; it cannot recall copies someone already saved. Your Sent history stays available.

Creating a link does not confirm delivery. Recorded opens and views do not prove that a named recipient read the kit, and repeated unsigned-in opens are not unique people. Members under 18 cannot use commercial Media Kit sharing.

When you share a Media Kit or Digitals, we keep a frozen copy of the selected content and a Sent history showing the recipient details you entered, the share date, link settings and recorded activity. Later edits to your profile do not change that copy. We use these records to provide sharing, activity receipts, your history, and security controls.

Sent history and its frozen content remain after a link expires or is revoked and after P3 Pro ends. After P3 Pro ends, your existing history is read-only: you can review it, but you cannot create or resend shares without the required subscription and eligibility. Subscription lapse does not delete your history. Privacy requests and safety controls remain available regardless of subscription status.

We delete this history and its associated personal data when the account is deleted or when a valid legal deletion request requires it. If the law requires preservation of particular records, we restrict those records to that purpose and delete them when the preservation requirement ends. We do not retain all Sent history merely because one record must be preserved. This rule does not let us recall copies already saved outside P3RSON.

Read-only history does not remove link revocation, privacy access, export or deletion rights.

Recipients see the following notice, with a link to the Privacy Policy, before they choose to view the kit or leave without viewing it:

Before you view this Media Kit

If you continue, P3RSON will record when this link is opened, how many times it is opened, whether the kit is viewed, and your device type. The sender can see this activity in their Sent history.

You do not need a P3RSON account. We show an unsigned-in viewer as “Someone with the link.” A recipient name entered by the sender does not verify who opened the link. Anyone the link is forwarded to may open it while it remains available.

This activity stays in the sender’s history after the link expires, is revoked, or their P3 Pro ends. We delete it on account deletion or a valid legal deletion request, subject to legally required preservation. For privacy requests, contact privacy@p3rson.com.

We do not use Media Kit link-opening or viewing activity for advertising, and we do not use it to track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

Essential request processing and security logs are separate from the recorded activity shown to the sender. Leaving without viewing does not record a Sent-history open or view.

The link-revocation confirmation is:

Revoke this link? People will no longer be able to use it to view this kit. Your frozen copy and Sent history will remain. Copies already saved outside P3RSON cannot be recalled.

4.1 Account Security

Users are responsible for maintaining confidentiality of login credentials and liable for all activity under their account. P3RSON is not liable for unauthorized access due to user negligence. Agencies are responsible for controlling Agent access (separate credentials for each Agent).

Users must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including tax obligations (tax forms when the law requires them). Independent contractor status applies (P3RSON does not withhold taxes). Agencies are responsible for employment tax withholding if Talent is classified as employees.

4.3 Content Guidelines Compliance

Users must comply with Community Guidelines (see Section 5 below). Prohibited content includes: harassment, spam, fraud, copyright violation, illegal activity. Agencies are responsible for ensuring Agent compliance with guidelines. P3RSON reserves right to remove content and suspend accounts.

Zero tolerance. P3RSON has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You can report any post, comment, message, profile or Media Kit, and block any account, from inside the app. A person reviews every report within 24 hours. We remove content that breaks these Terms or the Community Guidelines, and we suspend or remove the accounts that post it.

4.4 Booking Communication Integrity

All booking negotiations must happen in P3RSON messages. No off-platform negotiations are recognized for dispute resolution. Talent, Agencies, and Brands must participate in good faith in disputes. Fraudulent communications (faked messages, fake timestamps) are subject to account termination.

4.5 Fair Dealing & No Circumvention

Users cannot attempt to circumvent Platform protections (rate limiting, access controls). Users cannot circumvent Agency representation (Brand recruiting Talent off-platform). Users cannot misuse Sent Book or Talent Book access (sharing credentials, exporting data). Circumvention attempts are logged and may result in account suspension.

5.4 DMCA Takedown & Counter-Notice Process

Legal Basis: This section implements the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 USC § 512, which establishes a safe harbor for online service providers against copyright infringement liability if P3RSON responds expeditiously to valid takedown notices.

Who Can File DMCA Takedown:

DMCA Takedown Notice Requirements: Rightsholder must provide notice including:

  1. Physical or electronic signature
  2. Identification of copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
  3. Identification of infringing content (URL or specific location)
  4. Rightsholder's contact information (name, address, phone, email)
  5. Statement that rightsholder has good-faith belief that use is infringing
  6. Statement under penalty of perjury that information provided is accurate
  7. Agent authorization (if filed by agent)

Filing Takedown Notice:

P3RSON Response: We act quickly on valid notices. The DMCA Policy gives the timing. Upon receipt of valid takedown notice:

  1. Remove content
  2. Notify Creator of takedown and preserve evidence
  3. Document takedown in case of repeated infringement
  4. NOT liable for damages if takedown honored in good faith

Creator Counter-Notice Process: If Creator believes content was wrongfully removed, Creator may file a counter-notice (see the DMCA Counter-Notice page):

Counter-Notice Requirements: Creator must provide:

  1. Physical or electronic signature
  2. Identification of removed content
  3. Statement under penalty of perjury that Creator has good-faith belief that removal was erroneous
  4. Creator's contact information
  5. Consent to jurisdiction of Federal District Court (for potential litigation)
  6. Optional: why you think removal was a mistake (fair use, misidentification, etc.)

Filing Counter-Notice:

P3RSON Response to Counter-Notice (10 to 14 Business Days):

  1. Notify rightsholder that Creator filed counter-notice
  2. If the rightsholder does not tell us it has filed a court action within 10 to 14 business days: restore the content
  3. If rightsholder files lawsuit: Content remains removed pending court decision
  4. Forward counter-notice to rightsholder to enable settlement negotiation

Final Arbiter:

5.6 CDA § 230 Safe Harbor & Platform Liability

Legal Framework: This section implements Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 USC § 230), which provides online platforms immunity from liability for user-generated content.

CDA § 230(c)(1) Immunity: P3RSON is not liable for third-party user-generated content, including:

Limitations on Immunity: CDA § 230(c)(2) requires P3RSON to:

P3RSON's Good Faith Removal:

Procedures Supporting Immunity:

5.7 Intimate Image Removal (TAKE IT DOWN Act)

Who can ask: the person shown in an intimate image, or someone they authorize. You do not need an account.

A valid request includes:

  1. A physical or electronic signature
  2. Identification of the image (link or in-app location) with enough detail to find it
  3. A statement that you believe in good faith that the image was shared without consent, including images made or altered by AI
  4. Your contact information

What we do: we remove the image within 48 hours of a valid request and make reasonable efforts to find and remove known identical copies. We confirm the removal to you. Images of minors are also reported to NCMEC as required by law. A knowingly false request can lead to account action.

SECTION 6: LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

6.1 Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, P3RSON IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES. P3RSON MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING:

Indemnity Scope: Includes both direct claims and counterclaims in litigation.

SECTION 7: TERMINATION

P3RSON may terminate user account for:

If you delete your account: it is hidden at once and you can restore it for 30 days. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription: cancel P3 Pro in your device's Subscriptions settings and cancel the Agency and Brand plan in the US app under Team settings, Billing. Purchased P3 Coins you have not spent are lost when deletion is final and are not refunded. Earned coins have no cash value. You cannot delete your account while you own an agency or brand organization, or while a payout, held payment or dispute is still open. Transfer ownership or wait for these to finish, or email privacy@p3rson.com.

Upon termination:

SECTION 8: MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS

P3RSON may modify these Terms at any time. For a material change we tell you in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect. The change applies to you 30 days after we tell you, or earlier if you accept it. If you do not agree, you can stop using the Platform and delete your account before then.

Versions, notices and re-acceptance: every legal document carries one Suite version and one date. The Suite version matches the first two numbers of the app version (5.0 for app 5.0.x). When a change needs your agreement before you can keep using the Platform, the app shows a full-screen request with an Accept button; otherwise we show an in-app notice. A hotfix release that changes no legal text does not notify you again. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance.

SECTION 9: GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

9.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

9.2 Agreement to Arbitrate (Federal Arbitration Act)

You and P3RSON agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Platform, your account, or our relationship (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and not in court, except as provided in §9.5 and §9.7. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 USC § 1 et seq.) and evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce.

9.3 Arbitrator and Procedure

9.4 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

You and P3RSON each waive any right to a trial by jury and any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. All Disputes must be brought on an individual basis. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court finds this Class Action Waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) must proceed in court rather than in arbitration, and the rest of this §9 will continue to apply.

9.5 Carve-outs (No Arbitration Required)

This arbitration agreement does not require arbitration of:

9.6 Costs and Fees

9.7 30-Day Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written notice to legal@p3rson.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (or within 30 days of any material amendment to this §9). The notice must include your name, email associated with the account, and an unambiguous statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

9.8 Survival and Severability

This §9 survives termination of these Terms or your account. If any portion of this §9 (other than the Class Action Waiver in §9.4, which is governed by its own severability rule) is held unenforceable, the remainder will continue in full force.

9.9 Dispute Resolution and Separate Opt-Out

Disputes are governed by the Dispute Resolution policy and this §9. Accepting these Terms does not require a separate arbitration acknowledgment, and the §9.7 opt-out is a separate step that you may take at any time within the 30-day window. We record your acceptance with the time, the document version, and a fingerprint of the text you accepted (see the Privacy Policy).
