4. Platform Description
Pre-Launch Scope Notice.
As of the Last Updated date of these Terms, the Platform is in pre-launch (see Section 5). The Services described in this Section 4 and in Sections 6 (P3RSON Coins), 9 (P3RSON Index), 11 (Payments, Fees & Smart Escrow), and 17 (Referral Program) — including account registration and login, Coin purchase and earning, Smart Escrow, AI matching, booking, GPS check-in, payout processing, 1099 issuance, and the P3RSON Index — are described on a forward-looking basis and shall become operative only upon Initial Launch (as defined in Section 10.1). Until Initial Launch, the only services actually made available by P3RSON are: (a) the public marketing website, including blog and informational content; (b) the email waitlist and cookie-consent management; (c) the founding tier pre-purchase process described in Section 10; and (d) customer support at [email protected]. Any description in this Section 4 or in Sections 6, 9, 11, or 17 referring to operational functionality, metrics, balances, check-ins, or payouts is a description of the Services as they shall exist upon and after Initial Launch, and no such functionality is currently represented to be live. Users purchasing a founding tier prior to Initial Launch are acquiring the rights described in Section 10, not a license to then-operational Services.
P3RSON is an AI-powered talent marketplace that connects Talent, Brands, and Fans. Upon Initial Launch, the Platform shall provide:
- P3RSON Index: A dynamic score (1–100) reflecting Talent reliability, market activity, demand, profile readiness, and community engagement
- P3RSON Coins: A virtual currency used for gifting, booking, and backing Talent on the Platform
- Smart Escrow: A GPS-verified payment system that holds funds until job completion is confirmed
- AI Matching: Automated Talent-Brand matching based on availability, location, style, and P3RSON Index score
Marketplace Facilitator; No Employment Relationship
P3RSON acts solely as a marketplace facilitator. P3RSON is not a talent agency, staffing agency, employer, or agent of any User. P3RSON does not employ Talent, and P3RSON does not guarantee bookings, earnings, income, or outcomes of any kind.
Independent Contractor Relationship: All Talent on the Platform are independent contractors, not employees of P3RSON, Inc. or of any Brand that books them through the Platform. Talent retain full discretion over their schedules, availability, rates, service methods, and manner of performance. Talent are free to offer their services through other platforms or by other means, and are not restricted from working for P3RSON’s competitors. P3RSON does not control the manner, method, or means by which Talent perform services; Platform metrics such as the P3RSON Index are performance indicators for marketplace visibility purposes only and do not constitute directives controlling how Talent perform services. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to create an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchisor-franchisee relationship between P3RSON and any User.
No Guarantee of Bookings or Income: P3RSON makes no representation or warranty that any Talent shall receive bookings, gifts, or income through the Platform. The volume and frequency of bookings depend on market conditions, User demand, and other factors beyond P3RSON’s control.
Disputes Between Users
P3RSON is not a party to any agreement, arrangement, or transaction between Users. In the event of a dispute between a Talent and a Brand (or between any Users), P3RSON may, at its sole discretion, facilitate dispute resolution through its Smart Escrow dispute process, but P3RSON shall not be liable for any claims, damages, losses, or costs arising from disputes between Users. Users agree to release P3RSON from any and all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with disputes between Users. With respect to California residents, you expressly waive the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or releasing party.” You acknowledge that you are familiar with and understand the significance of Section 1542 and expressly waive any and all rights and benefits conferred by such statute.
4.5 Artificial Intelligence & Algorithmic Systems
4.5.1 AI-Powered Talent Assessment
P3RSON uses artificial intelligence and automated image analysis to assess Talent profiles. This includes:
- Face Geometry Analysis: Automated extraction and analysis of facial landmarks and geometric proportions, including symmetry, golden ratio proportions, canthal tilt (eye corner angle), face width-to-height ratio, jawline definition, cheekbone prominence, and filtrum proportion
- Photo Quality Audit: Five-dimensional validation of uploaded images including clothing detection, face clarity and detection confidence, lighting analysis, hair presentation visibility, and skin quality assessment
- Appearance Analysis: Automated classification of visible characteristics including estimated eye color, hair color, and skin tone
- Look Type Classification: Algorithmic assignment to talent categories (Editorial, Commercial, Fitness/Athletic, Beauty/Ethereal, Character/Distinctive, Parts Model) based on face geometry and profile data
4.5.2 Cloud-Based Processing & Third-Party Processors
P3RSON uses third-party cloud service providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS Rekognition), Google Cloud Vision API, and Apple Vision Framework, to perform image analysis and landmark extraction. Image data is transmitted to these processors only for the purpose of performing face detection, geometry analysis, and quality assessment. AWS Rekognition does not store your images beyond the time necessary for processing (typically seconds). All processors are contractually obligated to confidentiality and are restricted from using your data for any purpose other than performing the services on P3RSON's behalf.
4.5.3 Claude AI Integration for Coaching & Personalization
P3RSON may use Claude AI (anthropic.com), a large language model, to generate personalized coaching recommendations, market fit assessments, and profile improvement suggestions. When Claude AI processes your data, it receives only the information necessary to generate recommendations (your scouting report, P3RSON Index scores, look type classification, and engagement metrics). Claude AI does not store your personal information beyond the duration necessary to generate each response. Prompts are not used to train or improve Claude AI's underlying model; all processing is performed with inference-only access.
4.5.4 Algorithmic Decision-Making & Human Review Rights
The following decisions may be made through automated algorithms:
- P3RSON Index score calculation (based on face geometry, fan voting, and activity metrics)
- Talent tier assignment (Elite, Professional, Emerging, Developing)
- Look type classification
- Content recommendation and feed ranking
- Fraud detection and automated account restrictions
You have the right to request human review of any automated decision that adversely affects you. You may submit requests to [email protected]. A P3RSON representative shall review your case and provide substantive feedback within thirty (30) business days.
4.5.5 AI Limitations & Disclaimers
- Face geometry metrics measure proportions and technical suitability for specific talent segments; they do not measure attractiveness, beauty, character, intelligence, or any subjective quality
- AI scouting scores and look type classifications are based on industry-standard modeling criteria and do not constitute predictions of earning potential, market success, or career suitability
- AI algorithms may contain biases related to representation, lighting conditions, image quality, or demographic factors. P3RSON continuously audits and improves its algorithms, but cannot guarantee elimination of all bias
- Photo quality audit results are determinations of technical clarity and suitability for professional use; they are not judgments of the Talent's appearance, value, or worth

This information is shared only for the purpose of executing the booking and completing the job. Brands are prohibited from using this information for any purpose outside of the booking relationship, including direct recruitment, poaching, or unsolicited contact.
4C.5 Agency Activity & Compliance Monitoring
P3RSON maintains records of agency activity, including profile edits, booking acceptance/rejection, and dispute history.

9. P3RSON Index & AI-Powered Talent Assessment
The P3RSON Index is a composite algorithmic score (1–100) that combines AI-driven talent assessment with user engagement metrics. The score is calculated using the following weighted components:
9.1 Composite P3RSON Index Formula
- AI Scouting Score (60%): Determined by automated analysis of profile photographs using a 4-pillar assessment model: Bone Structure (35%), Facial Harmony (30%), Editorial Quality (20%), and Versatility (15%). This assessment includes analysis of seven face geometry metrics (symmetry, golden ratio, canthal tilt, face width-height ratio, jawline, cheekbone, and filtrum), weighted by relevance to talent scouting and market demand.
- Fan Consensus (25%): Community voting (1–10 scale) on Talent profiles, weighted by voter tier (basic users 1×, Coin holders 1.5×, verified users 2×), with a 30-day re-voting window to ensure recency
- Activity Score (15%): Booking frequency, response rate, content quality, and engagement metrics including posting consistency and interaction with the Platform
The AI Scouting Score represents the automated, deterministic assessment of Talent suitability based on professional modeling and talent industry standards. Face geometry metrics and scouting analysis are transparent and explainable; you have the right to request an explanation of how your specific scores were calculated by contacting [email protected].
9.2 AI Matching & Recommendations
Beyond the P3RSON Index, P3RSON uses AI-powered matching algorithms to recommend relevant Talent to Brands and Brands to Talent based on: availability, location, specific look types and features, past engagement patterns, and P3RSON Index scores. These recommendations are algorithmic and non-binding; P3RSON does not guarantee that algorithmic recommendations will result in bookings or interactions.
9.3 Talent Look Type Classification
P3RSON may automatically classify Talent into look type categories (Editorial, Commercial, Fitness/Athletic, Beauty/Ethereal, Character/Distinctive, Parts Model) based on face geometry analysis and profile data. These classifications inform AI matching recommendations and are intended to help Brands find Talent suited to their specific booking needs. You may edit or override your look type classification in your account settings.
9.4 Key Terms & Transparency
- P3RSON Index scores are public and visible to all Users
- Your P3RSON Index score affects your visibility in search results, AI matching priority, and market fit recommendations
- A higher P3RSON Index score does not guarantee bookings, earnings, or income
- P3RSON reserves the right to modify the P3RSON Index calculation methodology, weighting factors, and AI matching algorithms at any time with thirty (30) days’ advance notice via email or in-app notification
- Attempts to artificially inflate your P3RSON Index score (including fraud, coordinated manipulation, or fake interactions) shall result in penalties, score reduction, account suspension, or termination
- The P3RSON Index is a Platform metric and does not constitute a guarantee of Talent quality, employability, suitability, fitness for any particular purpose, or income potential
- Face geometry metrics and scouting assessments are based on objective, measurable proportions and do not measure attractiveness, beauty, or any subjective quality; they measure suitability for specific types of talent work and market segments
9.5 Right to Dispute & Explanation
Right to Know: You have the right to request a meaningful explanation of how your P3RSON Index score was calculated, including the specific contribution of each component (AI scouting, fan consensus, activity), the face geometry metrics used, and the weighting applied. This explanation will be provided in clear, non-technical language.
Right to Dispute: If you believe your P3RSON Index score is inaccurate or has been adversely affected by a Platform error, you may submit a dispute to [email protected] with the subject line "P3RSON Index Dispute." We shall review your dispute and provide a response with explanation within ten (10) business days.

11.1 Payment Processing
All payments are processed securely through Stripe, Inc. By making a payment on the Platform, you agree to Stripe’s terms of service.

- Gift transactions carry a thirty percent (30%) platform fee (Talent receives seventy percent (70%))
- Founding Talent and Early Access members receive a locked six percent (6%) booking fee for the lifetime of their account
11.3 Smart Escrow
- Bookings are agreements between Talent and Brands; P3RSON facilitates but is not a party to these agreements
- When a booking is confirmed, the Brand’s payment is held in Smart Escrow
- GPS verification is used to confirm Talent arrival at the booking location. Talent must enable location services and check in at the designated location for payment verification.
- Payment is released upon Brand confirmation of satisfactory completion, or automatically forty-eight (48) hours after the booking end time if no dispute is filed
- Disputes are handled through our dispute resolution process: either party may initiate a dispute within forty-eight (48) hours of the booking end time. P3RSON shall review evidence from both parties (including GPS data, messages, and photographs) and issue a resolution within five (5) business days. Escrowed funds shall be held during review. Possible outcomes include full release to Talent, full refund to Brand, or a partial split. P3RSON’s dispute resolution determination governs the release or retention of escrowed funds on the Platform and is not subject to further Platform-level appeal. Any dispute regarding the outcome of this process shall be resolved exclusively pursuant to Section 21 (Dispute Resolution & Arbitration).
- No-shows by Talent or Brands may result in P3RSON Index penalties and/or account restrictions
11B. Booking with Agencies & Commission Structures
11B.1 Agency Booking Flow
When a Brand books Talent represented by an agency:
- The booking agreement is between the Brand and Talent; the agency acts as representative
- Payment is processed through P3RSON Smart Escrow as normal
- P3RSON charges its standard platform fee (10% for bookings, 30% for gifts)
- After P3RSON's platform fee is deducted, the remaining amount is split between Talent and agency per the agency commission agreement
- Agencies do not receive separate compensation from P3RSON; all agency earnings come from Talent commission splits
11B.2 Dispute Resolution with Agencies
If a dispute arises on a booking involving an agency:
- Either the Talent or Brand may file a dispute through P3RSON's Smart Escrow dispute process
- P3RSON shall notify the agency of the dispute if one party is represented
- The agency may submit evidence or statements in support of its represented Talent, but does not have separate party status in the dispute
- P3RSON's dispute resolution determination is final with respect to Smart Escrow funds and cannot be appealed through the Platform
- If a dispute results in a partial or full refund to the Brand, the agency's commission is reduced proportionally
11C. Commission Structure & Talent Payout
11C.1 Agency Commission Agreements
Talent represented by agencies shall have a separate commission agreement with their agency that specifies the percentage or amount the agency retains from bookings. This agreement is independent of P3RSON and is the responsibility of Talent and agency to establish and maintain. P3RSON does not set, regulate, or arbitrate agency commission percentages.
11C.2 Commission Payout Mechanics
When Smart Escrow releases payment to Talent:
- P3RSON deducts its platform fee (10% standard, 6% for Founding Talent)
- Remaining funds are transferred to the Talent's account or directly to the Talent's linked bank account
- Talent is solely responsible for transferring the agency's commission to the agency per their agreement
- P3RSON does not process or hold agency commissions; this is a direct transaction between Talent and agency
11C.3 Commission Disputes Between Talent & Agencies
Disputes regarding agency commission percentages, amounts, or withholding are disputes between Talent and agency, not between the Talent and P3RSON. P3RSON does not mediate commission disputes. Talent and agencies must resolve commission disputes directly or through legal means (arbitration, court, etc.). Commission disputes do not stop or delay P3RSON's payout of Talent earnings.
11C.4 Reporting & Tax Responsibility
- P3RSON issues 1099-NEC or other tax forms to Talent for the full amount earned (before agency commission)
- Talent is responsible for reporting the correct income amount to tax authorities and for claiming deductions for agency commissions paid
- Agencies that receive commission splits from Talent are responsible for their own tax reporting and should consult with a tax professional

26. Waiver
The failure of P3RSON to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective only if in writing and signed by P3RSON. No waiver shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and P3RSON’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

- Talent must clearly and conspicuously disclose any material connection (including payment, gifted products, or other compensation) with a Brand in any social media post, video, or other content created in connection with a booking through the Platform
- Disclosures must be: placed where consumers are likely to notice them (e.g., at the beginning of a video, at the top of a post, not buried in hashtags or hidden after “more”); clear and unambiguous (e.g., “#ad,” “#sponsored,” “#partner,” or an explicit disclosure statement); and made in every piece of sponsored content regardless of the social platform
- P3RSON is not responsible for Talent’s failure to comply with FTC disclosure requirements, but reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that engage in deceptive advertising practices
- Brands that book Talent through the Platform represent and warrant that they will not instruct Talent to publish sponsored content without proper disclosures

Part 255, as updated) and applicable state synthetic-media disclosure laws.
Platform-Level AI Content Labeling.

P3RSON’s failure by a third-party platform to surface a requested AI-content label shall not be deemed a breach of this Section where P3RSON has used reasonable efforts to invoke the available labeling mechanism.
AI Marketing Content featuring fictional personas is not intended to depict, and shall not be construed as depicting, any real person, living or deceased. P3RSON represents that any AI Marketing Content it publishes is generated from licensed or original base assets and does not incorporate the name, image, likeness, or voice of any identifiable individual without that individual’s express written consent.
