Version: 1.0 | Effective Date: August 6, 2026
This Data Contribution and Annotation Agreement ("Agreement") governs participation in any data collection, annotation, benchmarking, evaluation, survey, or submission process conducted by Sleeping AI ("Sleeping AI", "we", "our", or "us").
By submitting data, annotations, ratings, feedback, benchmark responses, or any other content through any Sleeping AI website, platform, application, API, research project, event, or communication channel ("Submission"), you agree to the following terms.
1. Purpose
Sleeping AI collects data to advance artificial intelligence research and related scientific work. Your contributions help improve datasets, benchmarks, evaluation methodologies, machine learning systems, and scientific understanding.
2. License Granted
By making a Submission, you grant Sleeping AI a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to:
- store, reproduce, modify, organize, and analyze your Submission;
- use your Submission for scientific and academic research;
- train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, validate, and improve machine learning and artificial intelligence models;
- develop datasets and benchmarks;
- publish research papers, technical reports, preprints, presentations, and other scientific publications based on aggregated or processed versions of the data;
- share processed or anonymized datasets with research collaborators where appropriate.
No compensation is owed for any Submission unless explicitly agreed in writing.
3. Ownership
You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights you have in your original Submission. However, you grant Sleeping AI the license described in this Agreement to use the Submission for research and related purposes.
Any datasets, benchmarks, annotations, derived works, models, statistics, analyses, and research outputs created by Sleeping AI remain the property of Sleeping AI unless otherwise stated.
4. Research Use
Your Submission may be used for machine learning research, AI model development, benchmark creation and evaluation, academic publications, conference presentations, educational purposes, reproducibility studies, and future research projects related to artificial intelligence.
5. Privacy
Sleeping AI aims to protect participant privacy. Where reasonably possible, we remove or anonymize personally identifiable information before using or sharing data for research purposes. However, complete anonymization cannot always be guaranteed, particularly where information is voluntarily included within a Submission.
6. Retention of Certain Information
To comply with applicable laws, legal obligations, fraud prevention, security investigations, platform integrity, or requests from competent governmental or regulatory authorities, Sleeping AI may retain certain identifiers or metadata for an extended period, including internal submission identifiers, account identifiers, timestamps, technical metadata, network or device identifiers, and compliance records.
7. Research Publications
Sleeping AI may publish scientific findings based on collected data. Published material will generally contain aggregated, statistical, or anonymized information rather than personally identifiable participant information unless explicit additional permission has been obtained.
8. User Responsibilities
You represent that your Submission does not knowingly violate the rights of another person, you have the necessary rights to submit the content, and you understand that your Submission may become part of long-term research datasets.
9. Removal Requests
Where legally required, Sleeping AI will consider requests to delete or anonymize personal information. Certain information may nevertheless be retained where required by law, necessary to protect research integrity, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or comply with lawful requests from competent authorities.
10. Disclaimer
Sleeping AI provides its research platforms and benchmarks on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, except as required by applicable law.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sleeping AI shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or special damages arising from participation in any Sleeping AI research activity.
12. Changes
Sleeping AI may update this Agreement from time to time. Updated versions will become effective upon publication unless otherwise stated.
