About Robin
Robin is a robot companion which aims to emotionally support individuals by creating positive experiences through telling stories, engaging in various activities, playing games, and interactions.
Robin does not provide any kind of advice, treatment, or professional services, including, without limitation, medical, therapeutic, psychiatric, psychological, or other advice, treatment, or services, and shall not be used or relied on for any such or similar purpose. ALL ROBIN SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY, AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE ANY MEDICAL OR HEALTHCARE CONDITION, REPLACE THE ADVICE OF A LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL, OR PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL ADVICE, OPINION, DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT OR GUARANTEE.
Use of Robin
Robin, including its hardware, software, content, functionality, features, and all of the Robin Services, are and shall remain property of Expper, its licensors, or designated third parties. No rights toward Robin are granted to any person or entity except as explicitly provided hereunder. To obtain access to and use of Robin, you shall register with Expper as a Client, affirm consent to the present Terms, and assume payment obligations as provided hereunder or otherwise as presented by Expper (each, “Client”). No user other than Clients, and Client Users through Client, shall have access to and use of Robin. Subject to these Terms, as Client, we grant you a lease of Robin’s hardware, which lease is not subject to assignment, sublease, or other transfer (“Lease”), and is subject to the term limitations described in each Client’s Subscription Agreement; and we further grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to access and make non-commercial of the Robin Services, except as expressly authorized hereunder. Access to and use of Robin, including the Robin Services, shall be limited to Client’s physical premises as agreed upon in writing with Expper.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client may provide access to and use of Robin to its own guests, visitors, customers, clients, or third persons with whom Client has a verifiable relationship and who are authorized by Client (collectively, “Client Users”), and such access and use is to be provided exclusively on Client’s premises. Client shall be responsible for all actions by Client Users in their access to and use of Robin. Client shall also be responsible for ensuring that all persons who access Robin through Client, or their legal parent or guardian, if applicable, are aware of and agree to these Terms of Use, including the Privacy Policy, and accept and comply with them in writing.
Access to and use of Robin shall be for non-commercial purposes, and Robin shall not, in whole or in part, be sold, resold, subleased, rented, assigned, transferred, sublicensed, or otherwise exploited for commercial purposes or commercial gain or otherwise made available to third parties, except as expressly authorized hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Client may use Robin as part of its regular business operations in line with the original purpose of Robin, namely, seeking to emotionally support its Client Users.
Adult supervision is required when children interact with Robin to avoid children harming themselves or the property around them. For example, as a result of playing with Robin, a child may push and pull on Robin, try to climb on top of or saddle Robin, hit Robin, disintegrate Robin, and as a result of which, Robin may topple over, fall on, or roll on the child, certain elements of Robin such as internal mechanisms may be exposed to the child, Robin may touch or impact property, or the child’s or other person’s use of Robin may otherwise hurt oneself or any property.
Privacy and other laws applicable in your jurisdiction may impose certain responsibilities on you and your or your Client Users’ access to and use of Robin and the Services. As Client, you agree that it is your responsibility, and not the responsibility of Expper, to ensure that you comply with any applicable laws when you or your Client Users access or use Robin and the Services, and to comply with Expper’s Privacy Policy. Such laws and regulations may include, without limitation, obtaining prior written consents from, and/or providing advance notice through appropriate signage to, Client Users that Robin may be gathering audiovisual and other data or content and transmitting the same for processing by artificial intelligence or human persons. If your access and use of Robin and the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you are not authorized to use Robin or the Services. We cannot and will not be responsible for your access to or use of Robin or the Services that violates applicable law.
Upon termination of the lease and license provided by this section of the Terms, Client shall return Robin to Expper in the state that it had received Robin, normal wear and tear excepted. Subject to the Support Policy herein, Client shall be responsible for the loss, malfunctioning, or damage to Robin.
Support and Maintenance of Robin
For as long as Client’s lease and license toward Robin and the Robin Services are in effect in accordance with these Terms, Expper is committed to ensuring the proper support and maintenance of Robin at its sole expense (“Support Policy”). Expper shall troubleshoot and seek to correct, within a reasonable time, any hardware or software issues that prohibit the proper functioning of Robin; provided, however, that such issues that were direct or indirect caused by negligent, reckless, or malicious interaction with, maintenance of, storage of, or other action or omission toward Robin and the Robin Services by Client or Client Users shall not be covered by the Support Policy, to be determined at the sole discretion of Expper. For the avoidance of doubt, hardware or software issues that arise or are discovered through proper, reasonable, and intended interaction with Robin shall be within the scope of the Support Policy, whereas negligently, recklessly, or maliciously caused damage to Robin shall be outside the scope of the Support Policy, each to be determined at the sole discretion of Expper.
Client hereby agrees to notify Expper as soon as practical when Client knows or should know of issues that compromise the normal functioning of Robin or the Robin Services and shall fully and reasonably cooperate with Expper in discovering the circumstances and source of such issues.
Expper’s Support Policy hereunder is subject to these Terms, including the terms on Updates, limitation of liability, and disclaimer of warranties. If Expper is unable to support and maintain Robin as provided hereunder, then Client’s exclusive remedy shall be a refund of any monies paid to Expper for any duration when Robin’s malfunctioning was due to a hardware or software issue covered by the Support Policy. Expper has a right to set off any monies owed to it by Client (including, without limitation, as a result of loss, malfunctioning, or damage to Robin not covered by the Support Policy) against any monies that are owed to Client by Expper.
Payments and Refunds
Fees and prices for access to and use of Robin and the Services, as well as return and refund policies, shall be provided by Expper through these Terms and each Client’s Subscription Agreement. In case of a conflict between these Terms and the more specific terms provided by Expper elsewhere or in a Client’s Subscription Agreement, then the more specific terms in the latter shall control. If and when payments are processed through a third-party vendor, the processing of such payments, refunds, accuracy of payment methods and related matters are also subject to the policies of such vendors.
All payment information that you provide to Expper must be accurate, active, and complete. By accessing and using Robin or the Services, you authorize us to charge you for monies owed by you to Expper in accordance with these Terms. You hereby represent and warrant that your use of the payment information is legal, and that you have the right to use such payment information as a way to pay for your use of Robin or the Services. If, upon the termination of these Terms toward you, you owe monies related to your use of Robin or the Services, then you agree to pay such monies, and you agree for us to take all necessary and reasonable steps to collect such monies.
License Grant for Services other than Robin Services
Subject to these Terms, Expper grants Client Users a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the Robin Services for their personal, non-commercial use. Subject to these Terms, Expper grants Clients a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable, revocable license during the term of their lease of Robin (as defined in their Subscription Agreement), to use the Services for their commercial use, and to use Robin’s name and images thereof for marketing and advertising purposes. We reserve the right to (1) review Clients’ marketing and advertising content containing Robin’s name or image, and to (2) prevent the use of such content in our sole and absolute discretion.

Accordingly, if you are an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefore, you receive only those rights with respect to Robin and the Services as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to Robin, the Services, and these Terms of Use and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction). You and Expper agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.
Arbitration, Dispute Resolution, and Class Action Waiver
a. Disputes. The terms of this Section shall apply to all Disputes between you and Expper. For the purposes of this Section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, or action between you and Expper arising under or relating to any Services, use of Robin, Expper’s websites, these Terms, or any other transaction involving you and Expper, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND EXPPER AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR EXPPER FOR (i) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION, (ii) PATENT INFRINGEMENT, (iii) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE, AND (iv) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION. Moreover, notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, you agree that a court, not the arbitrator, shall decide if a claim falls within one of these four exceptions.
b. Binding Arbitration. You and Expper further agree: (i) to arbitrate all Disputes between the parties pursuant to the provisions in these Terms; (ii) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; (iii) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.) in the U.S. or applicable provincial or territorial Arbitration Act in Canada governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section; and (iv) this Section shall survive termination of these Terms. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED. The arbitrator may award you the same damages and relief as a court sitting in proper jurisdiction could, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief. In addition, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and enforceable by any court with jurisdiction over the parties.
c. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state, municipality, province or territory if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
d. Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or Expper must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to Expper must be sent to [email protected]. The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. If Expper and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or Expper may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each of us agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.
e. WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EXPPER AGREE YOU AND EXPPER MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL, STATE OR PROVINCIAL CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AND EXPPER AGREE THAT NO DISPUTE SHALL PROCEED BY WAY OF CLASS ARBITRATION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES, INCLUDING EXPPER.
f. Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by: in the U.S., the rules of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”), available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in these Terms; except that JAMS may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration shall be limited to the resolution only of individual claims. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms shall govern. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to federal, state, provincial, territorial, or local laws. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court shall determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for (i) trade secret misappropriation, (ii) patent infringement, (iii) copyright infringement or misuse, or (iv) trademark infringement or dilution, which are excluded from the definition of “Disputes” as stated above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in Los Angeles County, California.
g. Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Expper decide to arbitrate a Dispute, we agree to the following procedure:
i. Write a Demand or Notice: Write a Demand for Arbitration, which must include a description of the Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com (“Demand for Arbitration”);
ii. Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS 707 Wilshire Blvd 46th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90017, U.S.A.; and
iii. Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party at the same address as the Dispute Notice, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties.
h. Hearing Format. In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Expper or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Expper is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
i. Arbitration Fees. Expper shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Expper) pursuant to provisions of these Terms. You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.
j. Opt-out. Non-Clients may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in these Terms by sending a written letter to the Expper Notice Address within thirty (30) days of your initial assent to these Terms (including, but not limited to, by executing a Subscription Agreement) that specifies: (i) your name; (ii) your mailing address; and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall continue to apply.
k. Amendments to this Section. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, if you are a Non-Client, you and Expper agree that if Expper makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Expper’s address) in these Terms, Expper will take reasonable efforts to notify you and you will have thirty (30) days from the date of notice to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments by sending a written letter to the Expper Notice Address within thirty (30) days of Expper’s notification that specifies: (i) your name; (ii) your mailing address; and (iii) your request to opt-out of such amendments. If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section as stated in these current Terms, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to any such future amendments. Any amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions shall only apply to claims arising after the notice provided under this Sub-section K.
l. Severability. If any provision in this Section is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The terms of this Section shall otherwise survive any termination of these Terms.
m. Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies. Expper and you agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in this Section (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, or the United States District Court for the Central District of California, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy.
n. Prevailing Party. In the event of any Dispute hereunder, the party prevailing in such Dispute shall be entitled to collect from the other party all costs incurred in such Dispute, including reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, regardless of whether the Dispute is adjudicated in arbitration, court, or other forum, excluding any particular costs explicitly payable by a specific party in this Section.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE, ROBIN, OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE FACTUAL BASIS FOR THE CAUSE OF ACTION OCCURS OR SHOULD REASONABLY BE DISCOVERED, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Expper of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Expper to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect; provided that the ability of either party to obtain substantially the bargained-for performance of the other will not have thereby been impaired.
Entire Agreement
The Terms of Use, including our Privacy Policy (and, in case of access to and use of Robin, also the Robin Cover Letter and Subscription Agreement), constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Expper Technologies, Inc. with respect to the Services and, if applicable, Robin, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to Robin and the Services. Your use of and access to Expper’s pages on any social media platforms may also be subject to the respective terms of use and privacy policy of such platforms.
Injunctive Relief
You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Expper for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Expper shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.
Notices
We may give notice to you by means of a general notice on our Site, electronic mail, or by written communication sent by first class mail or pre-paid post.

Miscellaneous
These Terms will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon each party’s successors and assigns. These Terms, the licenses and lease, if applicable granted hereunder may be assigned by Expper but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of Expper, which may be withheld at Expper’s sole and absolute discretion. Any attempt by you to assign these Terms, the licenses, and, if applicable, the lease, without the prior written consent of Expper shall be null and void. Nothing contained in these Terms will be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the other party or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.
