Last updated: December 2, 2024.

1. Overview

This Purchase Agreement outlines the agreement between the purchasing entity (“Client” or “you”) and The Real Human Project LLC (“RealHuman” or “we”). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions governing your use of the services provided by Real Human.

2. The Service

Real Human offers a web-based software platform (the “Platform”), which is governed by the Platform’s Terms of Use, available at realhuman.io/terms (the “Terms of Use”). The Platform enables organizations to create their own private podcasts (the “Service”), which may include the following:

  1. Building, testing and maintaining a customized podcast-style AI interviewer for Client (“Client Interviewer”), which can be accessed via realhuman.io
  2. Creating and hosting a private podcast for Client (“Client Podcast(s)”), which can be accessed via private and unique RSS links
  3. Interviewing people identified by the Client (“Participant(s)”) on the Platform using Real Human’s AI interviewer
  4. Creating audio recordings of the interviews (the “Recording(s)”)
  5. Editing and producing podcast episodes from each Recording (the “Episode(s)”)
  6. Obtaining approval of each Episode from that Episode’s Participant(s) (“Approved Episode(s)”)
  7. Publishing and hosting Approved Episodes in the Client Podcast

3. Plans, Fees, Payment, & Cancelation

Real Human offers various podcasting plans.

3.1 Group Bonding Podcast Plan

The Group Bonding Podcast Plan allows a designated number of Participants to:

  • Access to the Client Podcast through private, unique RSS links.
  • Record an interview, resulting in one (1) Approved Episode included in the Client Podcast.

One-Time Fee: USD $140 per Participant

The Client Podcast will be available on all compatible podcast apps and includes one (1) Custom AI Interviewer, along with two (2) years of hosting. After this period, if the Client wishes to keep the Client Podcast live, a monthly hosting fee of USD $19 per Client Podcast will apply. The Client controls the release schedule for Approved Episodes.

Note: Participant slots are non-transferable. If a designated Participant leaves the organization or is otherwise unable to continue, the Client must purchase a new Participant slot for any replacement. Transfers or reassignments of Participant slots are not permitted.

3.2 Custom Internal Podcast Plan

The Custom Internal Podcast Plan allows the Client to distribute the Client Podcast to up to 1,000 individuals within the organization via private, unique RSS links. The Client retains full control over selecting Participants and scheduling the release of new Approved Episodes, with a maximum of four (4) new Approved Episodes per month. The Client may choose any AI interviewer from our library or opt to create a Custom AI Interviewer (see Section 3.3).

Monthly Fee: USD $495.

If the Client cancels the Custom Internal Podcast Plan, no new episodes will be published, and all unpaid balances, including any outstanding commitments, will become immediately due. Upon cancellation, Real Human will cease hosting the Client Podcast(s). If the Client wishes to keep the Client Podcast(s) active without adding new Approved Episodes, Real Human offers continued hosting at a rate of USD $19 per month per Client Podcast.

3.3 Custom AI Interviewer

A Custom AI Interviewer can be developed and trained specifically for the Client at a one-time fee of USD $299. This fee is independent of subscription fees and includes initial development, training, and any revisions until final approval. After approval, any further modifications or retraining will incur additional fees as per separate agreements.

3.4 Payment Terms

  • Group Bonding Podcast Plan: One-time fees may be paid via credit card or invoice, with payment in full required prior to publishing any Approved Episodes. Episodes will not be published without full payment.
  • Custom Internal Podcast Plan: Fees are billed on a recurring basis via credit card or invoice.

Recurring Credit Card Payments: Clients who select recurring credit card billing will be charged monthly in advance on a recurring basis (“Billing Cycle”). Subscriptions will automatically renew at the end of each Billing Cycle under the same terms unless canceled by either the Client or Real Human. To avoid renewal, cancellation requests must be sent to hello@realhuman.io before the end of the current Billing Cycle.

Recurring Invoice Payments: Clients opting for invoicing on recurring plans agree to prepay for the service in bi-annual installments. Payment for each installment is due before the start of each six-month service period. No refunds are issued for cancellations during this period.

3.5 Episode Removal

Clients may request the removal of Approved Episodes from the Client Podcast by emailing hello@realhuman.io.

Participants can request the removal of Approved Episodes containing their own interview recordings by emailing hello@realhuman.io. Real Human will fulfill these requests within ten (10) business days.

4. Rights

All rights to the Recordings, Episodes, and Approved Episodes are retained by Real Human. However, Real Human will not share Recordings, Episodes or Approved Episodes with any third parties (other than as required by law, to vendors as necessary to provide the Platform and Real Human’s services, or to an acquirer in connection with a change of control or to all or substantially all of Real Human’s assets) without the approval of the Participant. Due to the personal nature of the Episodes, only Participants may approve Episodes in accordance with and subject to the Terms of Use and Client obtains no rights or license in or to the Recordings, Episodes or Approved Episodes.

5. Confidentiality

Each party agrees not to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information (as defined below) to any third party or to use the other party’s Confidential Information other than as necessary to carry its obligations under this agreement. “Confidential Information” means information that is identified as confidential upon disclosure or that the recipient should reasonably understand to be confidential under the circumstances. The Terms of Use obligate Participants not to share Client Confidential Information and Real Human will assume that the Recordings contain no Client Confidential Information.

6. Disclaimers

Real Human’s services and performance are provided “as is” and without warranty. Real Human disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including without limitation any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and any warranties arising from the course of conduct or usage of trade.

7. Limitations on Liability

These limitations apply notwithstanding the failure of any remedy; they are essential to this agreement, and Real Human would not have entered into it but for them.

8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue

This agreement is governed by California law. Any dispute relating to the subject of this agreement must be brought in the courts located in Los Angeles, California. The parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive any defenses based on venue and the convenience of the forum.

Sections 3 (with regard to amounts incurred prior to termination), 4, 5 (with regard to Confidential Information disclosed prior to expiration or termination), 6, 7, 8, and 10 will survive expiration or termination of this agreement.

10. This Agreement

This is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It: (a) supersedes and merges all prior and contemporaneous agreements and representations; (b) may only be amended in a writing signed by the parties; (c) may be executed electronically or in counterparts; (d) was negotiated by sophisticated parties; and (e) shall not be construed in favor of or against either party. If any provision herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, it shall be reformed to the extent necessary to render it enforceable, or, if incapable of such reformation, shall be severed from this agreement and the remainder shall be enforced. The individuals executing this agreement below represent that they have authority to do so on behalf of the entity they represent. Headings are for convenience only.
