QUESTWORKS GAMES, LLCPLATFORM TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date: October 15, 2025

By checking the acceptance box during your onboarding process or by accessing or using any component of the QuestWorks Platform, you ("You," "User," or "Participant") enter into a binding legal agreement with QuestWorks Games, LLC ("QuestWorks") and agree to be bound by these Platform Terms of Service ("Terms").

1. SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY OF TERMS

1.1. Platform Coverage

These Terms govern all access to and use of the QuestWorks Platform, including but not limited to QuestRooms, QuestBot, QuestDash, and related websites (collectively, the "Platform").

1.2. User Status and Legal Framework

These Terms apply to your use of the Platform under two distinct circumstances:

Trial User: You are using the Platform during an evaluation period before your employer or affiliated organization ("Your Organization") has executed a Master Subscription Agreement ("MSA") with QuestWorks. As a Trial User, QuestWorks is the "data controller" of your personal data.

Enterprise User: Your Organization has executed an MSA with QuestWorks. As an Enterprise User, Your Organization receives aggregated team performance data while QuestWorks processes your individual personal data pursuant to the MSA.

Important: Your legal status will automatically transition from Trial User to Enterprise User upon Your Organization's execution of an MSA, without requiring any further action or consent from you.

1.3. AI Interaction Recording and Consent Requirements

AI INTERACTION RECORDING NOTICE: Audio is captured and transcribed when you interact with the AI assistant during QuestRooms sessions. Recording and transcription occur only during active AI interactions, indicated by the "🎤 Listening..." notification.

WHAT WE DO:

  • Record your speech during AI interactions
  • Transcribe your words to text using speech-to-text technology
  • Associate transcripts with your account (already identified via Slack authentication)
  • Use transcripts to provide AI-driven feedback and coaching

MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL COMPLIANCE: If you are located in a two-party consent state (including California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, or Washington), you acknowledge that all participants must consent to audio capture. By proceeding, you warrant that you have obtained any required consents.

AI-generated content, including scenarios, recommendations, feedback, and responses, may occasionally be inaccurate, contextually inappropriate, or inconsistent with intended outcomes. While QuestWorks implements safety measures and content filtering, AI Systems cannot guarantee perfect accuracy or appropriateness in all contexts.

LEGAL ADAPTABILITY CLAUSE: If future legislation (including but not limited to the FAIR Act or similar state laws) prohibits or restricts arbitration clauses or class action waivers in our service category, the affected provisions shall automatically conform to the minimum extent required by law, while preserving maximum enforceability of remaining Terms.

JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS: Where state or local laws require different terms (such as stronger recording consent requirements or consumer protections), those jurisdiction-specific requirements automatically apply to users in those locations without affecting the validity of Terms for other users.

14.3. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
