Terms of Service
This Affiliate Program Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed by and between Human AI Labs, Inc. d/b/a Personal AI, a Delaware corporation with offices located at 135 W 50th St Ste 200 New York, NY 10020-1210 (“Personal AI”) and you (“Affiliate”).
Personal AI and Affiliate may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”.
WHEREAS, Personal AI provides human-to-human messaging leveraging AI that helps people collaborate, exchange ideas and deepen their relationships with others while prioritizing trust, transparency, and individual ownership (collectively, the “Service”); and WHEREAS, Affiliate desires to refer one or more customers to Personal AI in exchange for a mutually agreed-upon fee, and Personal AI desires to receive such referrals.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms, and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
- Solicitation and Qualified Customer Relationships.
- General. During the Term (as defined in Section 4.1), Affiliate will use its best efforts to solicit and refer Qualified Customers (as defined in Section 1.1(a)) to Personal AI. For purposes of clarity, Affiliate does not have any authority of any kind to accept any customers on behalf of Personal AI, and Personal AI does not have any responsibility or obligation of any kind to accept any prospective customer referred by Affiliate.
- Qualified Customers. As used herein, “Qualified Customer” means an individual or entity that accesses the Service for the first time and sets up an account on the Service using a Qualifying Link (as defined in Section 1.1(b)). For purposes of clarity, the term Qualified Customer does not include any customer that: (i) has already accessed the Service at the time of the referral and set up an account on the Service; or (ii) has already been referred to Personal AI by a third party at the time of the referral.
- Qualifying Links. As used herein, “Qualifying Link” means any type or format of link that is provided or authorized by Personal AI to be displayed and distributed by Affiliate.
- Compliance. The Parties recognize that this Agreement is subject to, and intended to comply with, all applicable local, state, and federal laws, rules, and regulations (“Applicable Laws”). The Parties agree that the services contracted for hereunder do not exceed those which are reasonably necessary to
accomplish the commercially reasonable business purposes of this Agreement. When soliciting potential customers for Personal AI, Affiliate will use only those marketing materials provided by Personal AI or expressly approved by Personal AI in writing.
- Use of Marks; Publicity. Affiliate grants Personal AI permission to use the trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, symbols, or brand names (collectively, “Marks”) of Affiliate in connection with Personal AI’s website and marketing materials. Except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, Affiliate may not: (a) make any statement (whether oral or in writing) in any press release, external advertising, marketing, or promotion materials regarding Personal AI or its business unless Affiliate has received, in each instance, Personal AI’s prior written consent; or (b) use Personal AI’s Marks without Personal AI’s prior written consent.
- Compensation.
- Fees. As consideration for Affiliate’s referral of Qualified Customers, Personal AI will pay to Affiliate the fees set forth on Exhibit A (the “Referral Fees”) for each Qualified Customer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Referral Fees will be due or paid to Affiliate in the event any such payment would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws.
- Payments; Reporting.
- Payments. Personal AI shall pay Referral Fees due to Affiliate in accordance with Exhibit A within forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter for all payments due with respect to such calendar quarter. Referral Fees will be paid via ACH to the account designated by Affiliate on Exhibit A. Affiliate shall supply Personal AI with all information necessary for Personal AI to remit payments to Affiliate under this Agreement and shall promptly notify Personal AI in writing of any changes to Affiliate’s payment information.
- Reporting. Personal AI shall provide, as Affiliate may reasonably request from time to time and in a format that is accessible and readable by Affiliate, reasonable reporting with information related to any Qualified Customers referred by Affiliate, including relevant sales data during the reporting period.
- Final Determinations. All determinations by Personal AI relating to Qualified Customers and the compensation due to Affiliate hereunder shall be final and binding to the extent permissible under Applicable Laws.
- Taxes. Affiliate shall pay all applicable taxes, duties, excises, or other charges imposed by any government entity in connection with the Referral Fees.
- Confidentiality. Each Party may from time to time disclose Confidential Information to the other Party. “Confidential Information” as used herein means all nonpublic information concerning the business, technology, internal structure and strategies of each Party, its affiliates, and any of its customers or vendors with which they do business that is conveyed to the other Party orally or in tangible form. Each Party will keep in confidence and trust and will not disclose or disseminate or permit any employee, agent, representative, independent contractor or other person working under its direction to disclose or disseminate, the existence, source content or substance of any of the other Party’s Confidential Information to any other person. Each Party will employ at least the same methods and degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information as it employs with respect to its own Confidential Information. Each Party’s employees, agents, representatives, advisors, and independent contractors will be given access to the Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis. The foregoing obligations will not apply to Confidential Information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement; (b) the receiving Party lawfully receives from a third party not subject to a restriction on disclosure or other non- disclosure obligation; (c) the receiving Party knew prior to receiving such information from the disclosing Party, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of disclosure; or (d) the receiving Party develops or acquires independently without use of or reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. It shall not be a breach of this Agreement for a Party to disclose Confidential Information if compelled to do so under Applicable Laws or in a judicial or other governmental investigation or proceeding, provided that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the disclosing Party has been given prior notice to permit such disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to object to and/or limit the scope of such disclosure.
- Term; Termination.
- Term. Unless earlier terminated, this Agreement will become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year thereafter (the “Initial Term”). The Parties may extend this Agreement for additional one
(1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) upon mutual agreement of both Parties prior to the end of the Initial Term or applicable Renewal Term. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) are collectively referred to herein as the “Term”.
- Termination.
- By Personal AI. Personal AI may terminate this Agreement: (i) for cause, if Affiliate breaches or defaults in its performance of any material term of this Agreement and, to the extent the breach or default is capable of cure, fails to cure such breach or default within thirty (30) days of Affiliate’s
receipt of a written notice identifying the breach or default in reasonable detail; or (ii) for convenience, by providing Affiliate at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

- Effects of Termination; Survival. On termination of this Agreement, (a) Affiliate will promptly cease all solicitation and referral activities hereunder (b) each Party will promptly return or, at the disclosing Party’s request, destroy, all Confidential Information of the disclosing Party in the receiving Party’s possession, custody, or control, except as may be required to be maintained under Applicable Laws; and (c) Personal AI may continue to perform services for Qualified Customers and retain all fees paid by such Qualified Customers to Personal AI; provided that Personal AI will continue paying the Referral Fees with respect to such Qualified Customers until such Qualified Customers are no longer receiving services from Personal AI for which Referral Fees would be payable unless Personal AI terminates this Agreement under Section 4.2(a)(i), in which case Personal AI shall have no obligation to pay any further Referral Fees.

The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
- Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability does not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

of equitable relief or the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of an order granting equitable relief, in either case, consistent with the terms of this Section.
- Assignment. Affiliate may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Personal AI.

- No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement benefits solely the Parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, confers on any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
- Choice of Law. This Agreement, including all exhibits, schedules, attachments, and appendices attached hereto and thereto, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of California, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof to the extent these principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the California. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Diego, California and agrees to bring any action, litigation, or proceeding only in such courts. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action, litigation, or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Laws.

relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or invalidity hereof (each, a “Dispute”), the Party seeking to settle the Dispute shall deliver Notice of the Dispute (each, a “Dispute Notice”) as set forth in Section 8.2. The Parties shall
