End User License Agreement and Community Content Terms

Effective date: August 9, 2026

This End User License Agreement and Community Content Terms (the “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you and Vusi Studios Inc. (“Vusi Studios,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your download, installation, access to, and use of the Dot mobile application (the “App”), the online services made available through the App, and related software, features, content, and updates (collectively, the “Services”). “Dot Device” means compatible Dot hardware made or sold by Vusi Studios. “Community Library” means the part of the Services where users can publish animations for other users to view and download. “Community Content” means animations, artwork, images, titles, descriptions, tags, usernames, and other material submitted or made available by users through the Services.

Please read this Agreement carefully. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Services, creating an account, selecting an acceptance button, or uploading Community Content, you agree to this Agreement and acknowledge our Dot Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility and accounts

You must be legally capable of entering into this Agreement. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept this Agreement for you and supervise your use of the Services.

You must be at least the age of majority where you live to upload, publish, or otherwise make Community Content available to the public. By uploading Community Content, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

You must provide accurate account information and keep it current. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for activity carried out through your account. Notify us promptly at support@vusistudios.com if you believe your account or credentials have been compromised. You may not sell, transfer, rent, or share your account.

2. License to the App

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Vusi Studios grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to install and use the App on devices that you own or control, solely to access the Services and operate compatible Dot Devices for lawful, personal, and non-commercial purposes.

For an App obtained through Apple’s App Store, this license permits use on Apple-branded products that you own or control as permitted by the Apple Media Services Usage Rules, including use through Family Sharing or volume purchasing where those rules allow it.

The App and Services are licensed, not sold. Vusi Studios and its licensors retain all rights not expressly granted in this Agreement.

3. Restrictions

Except where applicable law expressly permits it despite these restrictions, you must not:

• copy, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the App or Services;
  
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, attempt to derive source code from, or circumvent technological protections of the App, Services, or Dot Device;
  
• modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works from the App or Services;
  
• access the Services through unauthorized automated means, scrape the Community Library, or collect information about other users;
  
• interfere with, overload, disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to the Services, accounts, networks, or connected devices;
  
• introduce malware, malicious code, or harmful data;
  
• remove or alter copyright, trademark, attribution, or proprietary notices; or
  
• use the App, Services, or Dot Device in violation of law, this Agreement, or another person’s rights.

4. Dot Devices and safe, lawful use

The App communicates with compatible Dot Devices. You are responsible for correct installation, configuration, maintenance, and operation of your Dot Device and for following all product instructions and warnings.

Laws governing vehicle lighting, illuminated displays, driver distraction, advertising, and vehicle modifications vary by location. You are responsible for determining whether and how a particular animation may lawfully be displayed on a stationary or moving vehicle. Do not display content that imitates emergency-vehicle lights, traffic-control devices, official signals, or law-enforcement markings; creates an unsafe glare or distraction; unlawfully flashes or strobes; interferes with required vehicle lights, signals, visibility, or license plates; or is otherwise prohibited where the vehicle is located or operated.

Community Content is supplied by users, not by Vusi Studios. Availability in the Community Library does not mean that an animation is legal or safe to display in your location or under your circumstances. Do not configure, browse, download, or change animations while driving. Nothing in this Agreement changes any separate written product warranty that applies to a Dot Device.

5. Vusi Studios content and intellectual property

The App, Services, Dot software and firmware, Vusi Studios-created animations, visual design, code, technology, documentation, logos, trademarks, and other Vusi Studios materials are owned by Vusi Studios or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws.

Unless we state otherwise, Vusi Studios-created animations are licensed to you on a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, and non-commercial basis for viewing through the Services and downloading to and displaying on Dot Devices that you own or control. You may not extract, resell, redistribute, sublicense, publish elsewhere, or use those animations for commercial purposes without our prior written permission.

6. Ownership of your Community Content

As between you and Vusi Studios, you retain any copyright and other ownership rights you have in your Community Content. This Agreement does not transfer ownership of your Community Content to Vusi Studios.

You are solely responsible for your Community Content and for obtaining every permission, consent, license, and release required to upload it and allow the uses described in this Agreement. Copyright can protect even short animation sequences, artwork, characters, logos, photographs, video clips, and other visual material. Buying, downloading, finding, or editing material does not necessarily give you the right to upload or share it.

7. License you grant to Vusi Studios

When you upload Community Content, you grant Vusi Studios a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, cache, reproduce, encode, compress, resize, crop, format, adapt for technical or device compatibility, transmit, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, communicate to the public, make available, and otherwise use that Community Content:

• to operate, secure, moderate, maintain, improve, and provide the Services and Community Library;
  
• to allow other users to preview, download, store, transfer, and display the Community Content on their Dot Devices as permitted by Section 8;
  
• to make technical previews, thumbnails, backups, and compatible versions; and
  
• to identify and promote the Community Library, the App, and Dot, including through screenshots or previews that show your Community Content as it appears in the Services.

This license includes the right to use the username, display name, title, description, and attribution you submit with the Community Content in connection with those purposes. It also allows us to sublicense necessary rights to hosting, content-delivery, moderation, analytics, and other service providers acting for us, and to users as described in Section 8. We may transfer this license as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of the Services.

To the extent permitted by law, you waive, and otherwise consent not to assert, moral rights or similar rights only to the limited extent necessary for the technical processing, presentation, moderation, distribution, and permitted promotion of your Community Content described in this Agreement.

No payment is due for Community Content or the rights granted under this Agreement unless Vusi Studios and you separately agree in writing.

8. License to other Dot users

When you publish Community Content in the Community Library, you authorize Vusi Studios to grant each user who lawfully obtains it through the Services a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to preview, download, store, transfer, and display that Community Content on Dot Devices the user owns or controls, solely for personal and non-commercial use.

Users who download Community Content do not acquire ownership of it. Unless the content owner separately gives permission, users may not sell, license, redistribute, publish outside the Services, use commercially, remove attribution or rights information, claim ownership, or re-upload another user’s Community Content as their own.

If you remove your Community Content, we will stop offering it for new downloads within a reasonable period, subject to technical processing, legal holds, and moderation or dispute needs. Removal does not terminate licenses already granted to users who downloaded the Community Content while it was available. Those users may continue using their downloaded copies as permitted by this Agreement. Backup copies and previously created promotional materials may remain for a reasonable period or as required by law, but we will not restore removed content to the public unless authorized or legally permitted.

9. Your promises about Community Content

Each time you upload or publish Community Content, you represent and warrant that:

• you created and own it, or you have all rights and permissions needed to upload it and grant the licenses in this Agreement;
  
• the Community Content and its permitted use do not infringe copyright, trademark, patent, moral rights, privacy, publicity, personality, contractual, or other rights;
  
• you have obtained any required consent from every identifiable person depicted or referenced;
  
• it does not contain confidential information or personal information you do not have the right to disclose;
  
• it complies with applicable law, this Agreement, and any Community Guidelines we publish; and
  
• the information you provide about it is accurate and not misleading.

10. Prohibited Community Content and conduct

You must not upload, publish, share, download for unlawful use, or encourage content or conduct that:

• infringes or misappropriates intellectual-property or other rights;
  
• is illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, or unlawfully threatening;
  
• contains child sexual abuse or exploitation material, sexualizes minors, facilitates grooming, or otherwise exploits or endangers a child;
  
• is pornographic, sexually explicit, or contains non-consensual intimate imagery;
  
• promotes terrorism, violent extremism, human trafficking, or criminal organizations;
  
• credibly threatens, incites, glorifies, or instructs serious violence, self-harm, suicide, or dangerous illegal acts;
  
• attacks, dehumanizes, or advocates discrimination or violence based on a protected characteristic;
  
• harasses, bullies, stalks, doxes, blackmails, or targets a person for abuse;
  
• impersonates another person or organization, or deceptively manipulates a real person’s likeness;
  
• exposes private, confidential, financial, authentication, precise-location, or other sensitive information;
  
• contains malware, corrupted data, code intended to interfere with devices or services, or instructions to bypass security;
  
• is spam, unauthorized advertising, a scam, or an attempt to manipulate ratings, reports, downloads, or discovery systems;
  
• unlawfully imitates emergency lights, law-enforcement markings, traffic signs, or official warnings, or is intended to create a road-safety hazard; or
  
• otherwise creates a material risk of harm to users, Vusi Studios, the Services, or the public.

This list is not exhaustive. Context matters, and we may adopt or update reasonable Community Guidelines consistent with this Agreement.

11. Moderation, reporting, and enforcement

Vusi Studios may, but is not obligated to, review Community Content before or after publication using automated systems, human review, or both. We may refuse, filter, restrict, age-gate, de-prioritize, disable, remove, preserve, or disclose Community Content, and may warn, restrict, suspend, or terminate users, when we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

• enforce this Agreement or Community Guidelines;
  
• respond to reports or intellectual-property complaints;
  
• comply with law, legal process, or requests from competent authorities;
  
• protect users, Vusi Studios, third parties, the Services, or the public; or
  
• investigate fraud, security incidents, or misuse.

Our decision not to remove content does not endorse it or determine that it is lawful. We do not guarantee that all objectionable or infringing content will be identified or removed, or that Community Content will remain available.

Use the in-App reporting tools to report content or users that may violate this Agreement. You may also contact support@vusistudios.com. Use the in-App blocking controls to stop seeing content from a particular user. Reports must be made honestly and must not be used to harass others or manipulate moderation.

Copyright complaints are handled under our Copyright and DMCA Policy. We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are repeat infringers. We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works to the extent required by applicable law.

12. Feedback

If you voluntarily send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the App, Services, or Dot that are separate from Community Content, you grant Vusi Studios a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable right to use and exploit that feedback for any purpose without restriction or compensation. Do not submit feedback you wish to keep confidential.

13. Privacy

Our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in connection with the App and Services are described in the Dot Privacy Policy. Public Community Content, usernames, display names, attribution, and related profile information may be visible to other users and may be copied or downloaded by them. Do not publish information you want to keep private.

14. Service changes, updates, and availability

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features or content, including the Community Library, when reasonably necessary for business, technical, security, legal, or operational reasons. We may issue App, firmware, or security updates. Some updates may be required for continued use of the Services or compatibility with a Dot Device.

The Services may be unavailable from time to time and may depend on internet access, mobile platforms, third-party services, and compatible hardware. We do not promise that any particular Community Content, feature, or version will always be available.

15. Third-party services and terms

The Services may use or link to third-party platforms, networks, software, or services. Your use of them may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies, including the terms of your app-store provider, device manufacturer, internet provider, and wireless carrier. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the Services. Vusi Studios is not responsible for third-party products or services except to the extent required by law.

16. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. You may request account deletion using the controls made available in the App or by contacting support@vusistudios.com.

We may suspend or terminate access to some or all of the Services, remove Community Content, or restrict an account if we reasonably believe that you violated this Agreement, created legal or safety risk, repeatedly infringed intellectual-property rights, engaged in fraud or abuse, or if suspension is required by law. Where appropriate, we may provide notice and an opportunity to appeal.

On termination, the license granted to you to use the App and Services ends and you must stop using and delete the App, subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be restricted. Sections that by their nature should survive—including Sections 5 through 9, 12, and 17 through 25—will survive. Termination does not revoke an end-user license validly granted under Section 8 before the applicable Community Content was removed.

17. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App, Services, and Community Content are provided “as is” and “as available.” Vusi Studios disclaims all representations, warranties, and conditions not expressly stated in this Agreement, whether express, implied, statutory, or collateral, including implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, availability, and security.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or compatible with every device; that defects will be corrected; that Community Content is accurate, lawful, safe, original, or non-infringing; or that content will appear correctly on every Dot Device.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies a warranty, condition, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified, including applicable consumer-protection rights.

18. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vusi Studios and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss; loss of profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, or data; device or vehicle downtime; or the acts, omissions, or Community Content of users or third parties, arising out of or relating to the App or Services, even if advised that such loss is possible.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Vusi Studios and the other parties listed above for all claims arising out of or relating to the App or Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid directly to Vusi Studios for the App or Services during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; and (b) CAD $100.

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including where applicable liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

19. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Vusi Studios and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from third-party claims, damages, judgments, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from: (a) your Community Content; (b) your infringement or violation of another person’s rights; (c) your unlawful or unsafe use of the App, Services, or Dot Device; or (d) your material breach of this Agreement.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Vusi Studios’ own breach, negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law, and it does not limit rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

20. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory rights you have to bring a claim elsewhere, the courts located in Ottawa, Ontario will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from this Agreement or the Services.

If you are a consumer, this Section does not deprive you of mandatory protections or access to courts provided by the law of your place of residence. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

21. Changes to this Agreement

We may update this Agreement to reflect changes to the Services, law, safety requirements, or business practices. We will post the revised Agreement with a new effective date and provide additional notice or obtain renewed acceptance when required by law or when changes materially affect your rights. Changes do not apply retroactively unless the law permits and the Agreement clearly says so. If you do not agree to an updated Agreement, you must stop using the Services and may remove your Community Content and close your account.

22. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained the App through Apple’s App Store, you and Vusi Studios acknowledge and agree that:

• this Agreement is between you and Vusi Studios, not Apple, and Vusi Studios—not Apple—is responsible for the App and its content;
  
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App;
  
• if the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and Vusi Studios is responsible for other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty;
  
• Vusi Studios, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability, legal or regulatory, consumer-protection, and privacy claims;
  
• if a third party claims that the App or your possession or use of it infringes intellectual-property rights, Vusi Studios—not Apple—is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim;
  
• you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as supporting terrorism, and that you are not listed on a U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; and
  
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and, upon your acceptance, Apple may enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

23. Export and sanctions compliance

You must comply with applicable export-control, economic-sanctions, and import laws. You must not access, export, re-export, transfer, or use the App or Services in a prohibited country, for a prohibited end use, or for the benefit of a prohibited or restricted person.

24. General terms

If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law. This Agreement, together with the Dot Privacy Policy, Copyright and DMCA Policy, and any additional terms expressly presented for a feature, is the entire agreement between you and Vusi Studios concerning the App and Services and supersedes prior agreements on that subject.
