These Rivet Live Terms of Use (“Live Terms”) govern your access to and use of Rivet Live, a live, host-moderated video and community-matching experience offered by MeantToBe, Inc. (“Rivet”, “we”, “us” or “our”) through the Rivet platform.

These Live Terms supplement and form part of our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines (collectively, the “Rivet Terms”). Capitalized terms not defined in these Live Terms have the meanings given to them in our Terms of Use.

If there is any conflict or inconsistency between these Live Terms and any other Rivet Terms with respect to your access to, participation in, or content created or captured through Rivet Live, these Live Terms will control solely with respect to Rivet Live.

Each time you enter or participate in a Rivet Live session, you acknowledge and agree to the then-current Live Terms.

1. How Rivet Live Works

1.1. Rivet Live is a scheduled, live video and community-matching experience hosted and moderated by a host selected or approved by Rivet (the “Host”). Registered Rivet users may: (a) watch a Rivet Live session and, where enabled, participate in live chat, polls, reactions and other interactive features (“Viewers”); and/or (b) voluntarily request to participate on camera and by audio in a live segment with the Host and another selected user (“Live Participants”). Only Live Participants will have their camera and microphone enabled as part of a live segment, unless Rivet expressly enables another format.

1.2. Rivet and/or the Host may select and pair Live Participants from eligible users, including users who have voluntarily requested to participate and, particularly during initial or test sessions, users Rivet identifies or invites in advance. Selection and pairing are made in Rivet’s discretion, taking into account factors relevant to the applicable Rivet Live format, including applicable matching preferences and eligibility criteria. Requesting to participate does not guarantee that you will be selected, paired with any particular person, or featured in any particular session. Rivet has no obligation to explain any selection or pairing decision. You may decline to participate or withdraw from a proposed stage appearance at any time before joining the live segment.

1.3. During or following a stage segment, Viewers may be invited to respond to polls or provide community feedback regarding the interaction between Live Participants, including whether the Live Participants appear well-suited as a potential match. Voting results are presented only as an aggregate outcome; Rivet does not display an individual user’s vote or a live individual rating of either Stage Participant. Where Rivet identifies a pair as a match based on the applicable community-matching mechanism, Rivet may create a match or enable communication between those Stage Participants through the Platform. Community feedback and voting reflect the opinions of participating users only. They are not ratings of the worth, attractiveness, character or desirability of any individual, do not constitute a judgment or endorsement by Rivet, and do not guarantee compatibility, a successful match, a relationship or any other outcome.

1.4. Rivet Live session dates, times, duration, Hosts, formats, participants, features and availability may vary. Rivet may modify, interrupt, reschedule, suspend or discontinue any Rivet Live session or feature at any time, subject to applicable law.

2. Eligibility

2.1. Rivet Live is available only to registered Rivet users who are at least eighteen (18) years old, satisfy Rivet’s applicable identity and account-verification requirements, and maintain an account in good standing.

2.2. Only the verified account holder selected by Rivet or the Host may appear on camera as a Live Participant. You must not permit, invite or intentionally display any other person, including any minor, in your camera feed, and you must not stream, broadcast or participate on behalf of another person or permit another person to use your account to participate.

2.3. Rivet may require additional verification, eligibility checks or safety measures before allowing any user to participate as a Live Participant and may deny or revoke stage eligibility at any time where Rivet reasonably considers this necessary for safety, compliance, moderation or operation of the Services.

3. Consent to Appear; Assumption of Risk

3.1. Each time you enter a Rivet Live session, you acknowledge that Rivet Live is a live, moderated environment in which other users may see and interact with content shared during the session. You agree to comply with these Live Terms, our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines while accessing Rivet Live.

3.2. Before participating as a Live Participant, you will be asked to affirmatively consent to appearing live on camera and by voice and to Rivet recording, using and exploiting your participation as described in these Live Terms. By providing that consent and joining the stage, you expressly authorize Rivet to record your appearance and participation, including your image, likeness, voice, statements, interactions and other material captured during the applicable Rivet Live session, and to use such material in accordance with Section 4 below. Your participation as a Stage Participant is voluntary. If you do not agree to the recording and use described in these Live Terms, you must not join the stage.

3.3. Appearing on Rivet Live means interacting with another user, live, in front of an audience that may react to and share views on your interaction. Live participation may therefore involve personal, emotional or reputational discomfort, including disagreement, criticism, embarrassment or the voluntary disclosure of information about yourself. You control what information you choose to disclose during your appearance and should not disclose information that you do not want to be heard or seen by other users or potentially included in recorded content. You may leave the stage at any time.

3.4. Unless Rivet expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Live Participants participate voluntarily as Rivet users and are not employees, contractors, agents, performers or representatives of Rivet and are not entitled to any fee, royalty, residual, revenue share or other compensation arising from their participation or Rivet’s authorized use of Live Content. Your access to and opportunity to participate in Rivet Live, together with the mutual promises contained in these Live Terms, constitute consideration for the rights granted under these Live Terms.

3.5. You are responsible for your own statements, conduct, disclosures and interactions during Rivet Live. Rivet does not control, verify, adopt or guarantee, and is not responsible or liable for, any statement, opinion, joke, advice, representation or other content expressed by a Host, Live Participant or Viewer during a Rivet Live session, including statements made by a Host in the course of hosting or moderating a session. Except for statements Rivet itself expressly and knowingly makes on its own behalf, no statement made during Rivet Live reflects the views of, or is endorsed or adopted by, Rivet. Any match, communication, meeting or relationship arising from Rivet Live remains subject to your own judgment and responsibility.

4. Content Ownership and Likeness Release

4.1. Live Content. “Live Content” means all content captured, recorded, created, displayed, submitted or transmitted in connection with Rivet Live, including video, audio, photographs, screenshots, chat messages, comments, polls, votes, reactions, statements, performances, interactions, session recordings and any clips, excerpts, edits, adaptations, compilations or derivative materials created from any of the foregoing.

4.2. Rivet’s ownership. As between you and Rivet, Rivet owns all right, title and interest in and to the Rivet Live production and all recordings created by or on behalf of Rivet, including Rivet’s selection, arrangement, editing, production and compilation of such recordings. You retain any rights that you may have in materials owned by you before your participation in Rivet Live (“Pre-Existing Materials”). To the extent you acquire or hold any copyright, performance right or other intellectual property right in any contribution created by you specifically in connection with Rivet Live, you hereby irrevocably assign to Rivet, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all such right, title and interest. To the extent any such right cannot validly be assigned, or to the extent necessary for Rivet to use any Pre-Existing Material incorporated into your participation, you grant Rivet and its affiliates, successors, assigns and licensees a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid, transferable and sublicensable licence to: (a) record, reproduce and copy; (b) host, store and transmit; (c) edit, crop, excerpt, adapt, translate, caption, dub, synchronize, arrange and modify; (d) combine with other content, music, graphics, advertisements or materials; (e) create compilations and derivative works; (f) publish, distribute, exhibit, broadcast, communicate, publicly display and publicly perform; and (g) otherwise use and exploit, your contribution, in whole or in part, in any medium, format, platform or channel now known or later developed, for purposes including operating Rivet Live and the Services and advertising, marketing, publicity and promotion of Rivet, Rivet Live and Rivet’s products and services. The foregoing rights include use in paid and organic advertising, social media, websites, app-store materials, promotional campaigns, trailers, compilations, excerpts, short-form clips and other promotional content.

4.3. Name and likeness. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you irrevocably authorize Rivet and its affiliates, successors, assigns and licensees to record, photograph, reproduce, use, edit, publish and otherwise exploit your: name and username; photograph, image and likeness; voice and speech; appearance, gestures and mannerisms; statements, dialogue and interactions; and biographical or personal information that you voluntarily disclose during the relevant Rivet Live session, as incorporated into Live Content, for the production, operation, distribution, advertising, marketing, publicity and promotion of Rivet, Rivet Live and Rivet’s products and services, in any media or format now known or later developed. Rivet may edit, crop, excerpt, rearrange, caption, subtitle, dub, combine or otherwise modify Live Content and may use individual portions independently from the complete Rivet Live session. Except where prohibited by law, such uses may occur without further notice to you, further approval from you or additional compensation. Rivet will not knowingly use an edited version of your Live Content in a manner that falsely represents you as endorsing an unrelated third-party product or service.

4.4. Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you: (a) waive any right to inspect or approve Live Content or Rivet’s permitted use, editing or presentation of Live Content; (b) acknowledge that, once you have participated and Live Content has been created or published, you do not have a contractual right to require Rivet to withdraw, remove, delete or cease using such Live Content; and (c) waive and agree not to assert any moral rights, rights of attribution, rights of integrity or similar rights that you may have in Live Content. The rights granted under this Section survive your departure from a Rivet Live session, deletion of your account and termination of your relationship with Rivet. Nothing in these Live Terms waives, restricts or overrides any non-waivable right you may have under applicable privacy, data-protection, consumer-protection or other law. Rivet will process requests exercising such statutory rights in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law.

4.5. Rivet has no obligation to record, publish, distribute, preserve or use any particular Live Content or to include any Live Participant in any promotional material and may use, discontinue, remove or refrain from using any Live Content in Rivet’s discretion.

4.6. You represent, warrant and agree that: (a) you have the right to make the statements and provide the materials that you contribute to Rivet Live; (b) you will not knowingly display, perform or provide content that infringes or misappropriates any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights; (c) you will not intentionally cause any person who has not agreed to participate in Rivet Live to appear or be heard in your camera or audio feed; (d) you will not play or intentionally transmit copyrighted music, television, film, videos or other third-party content unless you have all rights necessary to do so; and (e) your participation will comply with these Live Terms, the Terms of Use and Community Guidelines.

5. No Recording or Redistribution by Users

5.1. Except through functionality expressly provided or authorized by Rivet, you must not record, photograph, screenshot, screen-record, transcribe, scrape, download, reproduce, livestream, rebroadcast, publish or redistribute any Rivet Live session or Live Content, including any Live Participant’s image, voice, statements or personal information. You must not upload or distribute Rivet Live Content to another platform or use it to create clips, reaction content, compilations, derivative content or other media without Rivet’s prior written authorization. Violation may result in immediate removal from Rivet Live, restriction or termination of your account and any other remedies available to Rivet.

5.2. Rivet may implement technical and operational measures intended to reduce unauthorized copying or distribution of Live Content, but no online or live service can prevent users or third parties from making unauthorized recordings or copies. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Rivet is not responsible for unauthorized recording, copying or redistribution by third parties that occurs despite Rivet’s reasonable safeguards.

6. Conduct on Rivet Live

6.1. The Community Guidelines, including the Rivet Live-specific rules contained in them, apply to all conduct on Rivet Live, including conduct on stage and in live chat. Without limiting those Guidelines, you must not: (a) display nudity, sexually explicit content, graphic violence, weapons, illegal drugs or other prohibited material; (b) engage in harassment, bullying, hate speech, threats, discriminatory conduct or sexual harassment; (c) make deliberately humiliating, abusive or degrading comments about a Live Participant or Viewer; (d) disclose or solicit phone numbers, addresses, social-media handles, financial information or other private or sensitive information; (e) advertise, solicit, sell or promote goods, services or off-platform activities without Rivet’s authorization; (f) appear or participate while intoxicated or materially impaired; (g) impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity; (h) display or play unauthorized copyrighted material; (i) encourage another person to disclose information that is inappropriate, unsafe or unnecessarily sensitive in a public live environment; or (j) interfere with, manipulate or attempt to game any poll, vote, matching mechanism or moderation functionality.

6.2. If you participate on camera, you are responsible for your camera feed, microphone feed, surroundings and background audio. Before joining the stage, you should ensure that no other person, confidential information, copyrighted material or inappropriate content can be seen or heard in your environment.

6.3. Rivet Live is intended to facilitate genuine and respectful community interaction. Viewers must not organize or participate in coordinated harassment, “pile-ons,” targeted humiliation, manipulation of voting, discriminatory voting campaigns or other conduct intended to demean or unfairly target a Live Participant.

7. Moderation, Recording, and Safety

7.1. Rivet may record and retain Rivet Live sessions for the purposes described in Section 4, including production, distribution, advertising and marketing, and for safety, moderation, investigation, policy enforcement, legal and compliance purposes, in each case as further described in our Privacy Policy.

7.2. Rivet, the Host and Rivet’s moderation team may, at any time and where appropriate in their discretion: (a) decline, delay or revoke a stage request; (b) mute, disconnect or remove a Live Participant; (c) remove a Viewer from a session; (d) hide or remove chat messages; (e) restrict access to stage participation, chat, voting or other Rivet Live features; (f) pause or end a segment or session; or (g) suspend or terminate access to Rivet or the relevant account, including where Rivet believes such action is appropriate for safety, moderation, legal compliance, enforcement of Rivet’s policies or protection of other users.

7.3. If Rivet becomes aware of circumstances indicating a credible risk of imminent or serious real-world harm, Rivet may interrupt or terminate a session and may take other appropriate measures, including contacting emergency services or law enforcement, where permitted or required by applicable law and consistent with our Privacy Policy.

7.4. If you encounter content or conduct that you believe violates these Live Terms or our Community Guidelines, you may report it using the reporting or support functionality made available by Rivet from time to time, including by contacting us at support@rivetdating.com. Rivet Live sessions may also be actively monitored by Rivet personnel or moderators, who may take action during the session without waiting for a user report.

8. General

8.1. The disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification provisions and other risk-allocation provisions contained in our Terms of Use apply to your access to and participation in Rivet Live. Without limiting those provisions, Rivet Live is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Live video, audio, chat, voting and other functionality may be delayed, interrupted, unavailable or affected by technical issues, user connectivity or third-party services. Rivet does not guarantee the conduct, statements, identity, compatibility, intentions or future actions of any Host, Live Participant or Viewer, or that participation in Rivet Live will result in any match, date, relationship or other outcome.

8.2. Rivet may, in its sole discretion, update or modify these Live Terms from time to time in accordance with the Terms of Use. The version presented or made available to you when you enter or participate in a Rivet Live session will apply to that session. Rivet will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Live Terms within the Rivet platform, by presenting them to you before you enter or participate in a Rivet Live session, or by other reasonable means such as email or in-app notice. Where required by law or where Rivet makes a material change affecting participation, recording or use of Live Content, Rivet may require you to affirmatively accept the updated terms before participating.

8.3. These Live Terms are governed by the governing-law and dispute-resolution provisions contained in Section 22 of our Terms of Use, including the applicable binding arbitration provisions, which are incorporated into these Live Terms by reference.
