Sign the agreement
This is the agreement, in full, and then a short form at the bottom. Read it. It is not long and it is not written to be hard.
Everything below is what you are agreeing to. What you agree to is the same thing in plainer words if you would rather start there, but this is the document, and if the two ever disagree, this one is the one that counts.
Mate Wish Key guest agreement
Between Mergodon Pty Ltd (ACN 681 299 632), trading as Mate Wish Key; and you, whose details you fill in below.
1 WHAT THIS IS
1.1 Mate Wish Key is a show. You come on, you bring something you want your computer to do, and we work on it together while it is recorded and streamed live.
1.2 This agreement covers your appearance on one session, on a date you and we agree. It also covers anything recorded on that date, whether or not it is published.
1.3 Where this agreement and anything on matewishkey.com disagree, this agreement applies.
2 NOBODY PAYS ANYBODY
2.1 You pay nothing to appear.
2.2 We pay you nothing: not for your time, not for your appearance, and not for the recording or any use we make of it, however that use performs.
2.3 You may need your own paid subscription to an AI tool to take part. That is a contract between you and that provider. It is not a payment to us and we have nothing to do with it.
2.4 Neither of us is obliged to the other beyond what is written here. Nothing here is exclusive: you may appear elsewhere, publish your own account of the session, or write about it however you like.
3 RECORDING
3.1 You consent to us recording the session in audio and video, including your name, voice, image, likeness, statements and performance, and everything shown on your shared screen.
3.2 You consent to the session being streamed live as it happens.
3.3 You are aged 18 or over.
3.4 You are taking part voluntarily.
4 WHAT WE MAY DO WITH IT
4.1 You grant us a licence to use the recording, and any part of it, that is:
- (a) worldwide;
- (b) perpetual and irrevocable, subject to clause 11;
- (c) royalty-free; and
- (d) sub-licensable and transferable.
4.2 That licence covers:
- (a) publishing, broadcasting, streaming and distributing the recording, in whole or in part, on any platform now existing or later created, including YouTube and Twitch;
- (b) editing it, cutting it into clips, captioning and subtitling it, translating it, and combining it with other material;
- (c) using it, and stills taken from it, to promote the show and our business, including in paid advertising; and
- (d) archiving it and keeping it available indefinitely.
4.3 The licence includes your name, voice, image and likeness as they appear in the recording, for the purposes in clause 4.2.
4.4 We do not have to publish anything. If your session is never published, that is not a breach of this agreement.
4.5 If you would rather be introduced by a first name only or by a handle, tell us in writing before recording starts and we will use it.
5 MORAL RIGHTS
5.1 You consent, under section 195AW of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), to us and our licensees and successors doing the following acts, which might otherwise infringe your moral rights:
- (a) editing, cutting, shortening, re-ordering, captioning, subtitling, translating, colour-correcting and mixing the recording, and combining it with other material, including material that did not exist when it was recorded;
- (b) publishing extracts and clips out of their original sequence and context, including short clips used to promote the show;
- (c) not naming you as an author of any work made or shown during the session, in any use of the recording where attribution is not practical, including short-form clips, thumbnails and advertising; and
- (d) publishing the recording under the Mate Wish Key name.
5.2 This clause is a consent to the specific acts listed in clause 5.1. It is not a waiver of your moral rights generally.
5.3 You do not consent to anything under this clause being done in a way that is derogatory, in the sense of being prejudicial to your honour or reputation, other than by the ordinary editing described above.
6 WHO OWNS WHAT
6.1 We own the recording and all copyright in it.
6.2 You own everything you bring to the session, and everything made on your computer during it. We claim no interest in it, no share of it, and no right to use it beyond its appearance in the recording.
6.3 You are free to use, change, sell, license or destroy what was made, without reference to us.
6.4 If the session builds on someone else's open-source software, that software's own licence continues to apply to the result. That is a matter between you and the licensor. We give no advice on it and take no responsibility for your compliance with it.
7 WHAT YOU PROMISE US
7.1 You promise that everything you bring to the session, show on screen or say:
- (a) is yours to show, or you have permission to show it;
- (b) does not disclose anyone else's confidential information, and does not breach any confidentiality obligation you owe to anyone, including an employer or a client;
- (c) does not contain personal information about any other identifiable person;
- (d) does not contain credentials, passwords, API keys, tokens or anything else granting access to an account or system;
- (e) does not infringe anyone's intellectual property rights; and
- (f) is not unlawful, defamatory, harassing or misleading.
7.2 You are responsible for what appears on your screen. Close what you do not want published before the session starts.
7.3 If something appears that should not have, tell us immediately. We will remove it from anything not yet published, and from anything published that we control, as soon as we reasonably can. We cannot remove it from a live stream that has already gone out, or from copies we do not control.
7.4 You indemnify us against any claim, loss or cost we suffer because you breached clause 7.1. This clause 7.4 does not apply to the extent the claim, loss or cost was caused by our own negligence or breach of this agreement, and it is limited to loss that was reasonably foreseeable.
8 YOUR COMPUTER, YOUR DECISIONS
8.1 The session runs on your computer, with your screen shared. You operate it. We do not have, and will not be given, remote access to it.
8.2 Software used during the session, including any AI agent, runs under your control and your account. Every action it takes on your computer is taken because you approved it.
8.3 We suggest. You decide, and you type. If at any point you are not comfortable with what is about to happen, say so and it will not happen.
8.4 An AI agent can be wrong, can be confidently wrong, and can change or delete real files. You are responsible for backing up anything you would be upset to lose, before the session. We cannot do that for you and we do not check that you have.
8.5 You are responsible for what you choose to run, during the session and afterwards.
9 NO WARRANTY, AND NOT ADVICE
9.1 Nothing said or done during the session is professional advice. It is not legal, financial, accounting, tax, medical or security advice, and it is not advice about your particular business.
9.2 Anything made during the session is provided as-is. We do not warrant that it works, that it keeps working, that it is secure, that it is fit for any purpose, or that it will not cause a problem later. It is built live, in one sitting, without testing.
9.3 We are not your developer, your contractor or your consultant. There is no support, maintenance or fix afterwards.
10 LIABILITY
10.1 Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty or other term implied or imposed by law, including under the Australian Consumer Law, that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
10.2 Subject to clause 10.1, and to the extent permitted by law:
- (a) we exclude all warranties, conditions and terms not expressly set out in this agreement;
- (b) we are not liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data or loss of business opportunity, however arising; and
- (c) our total liability to you in connection with this agreement, the session and anything made during it is limited to one hundred Australian dollars (A$100).
10.3 Where a non-excludable guarantee applies and the law allows us to limit our liability for breaching it, our liability is limited, at our option, to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again.
10.4 Each party must take reasonable steps to reduce any loss it suffers.
11 CHANGING YOUR MIND
11.1 Before recording starts, you may withdraw at any time, for any reason, without explanation and without liability. Tell us in writing.
11.2 During the session, you may ask us to stop at any time. We will stop.
11.3 After the session, and before publication, you may ask us not to publish. We will honour that request.
11.4 After publication, you may ask us to remove or edit the recording. We will consider any request seriously, and we will act on it promptly where the recording contains:
- (a) credentials or other access information;
- (b) personal information about you or anyone else that should not have been published; or
- (c) confidential information published in error.
11.5 You acknowledge that once material has been published we cannot recall copies we do not control, including copies downloaded, re-uploaded, quoted, clipped or indexed by others. Our obligation under clause 11.4 is limited to material under our control, and clause 11.4 is the only qualification to clause 4.1(b).
12 PRIVACY
12.1 We collect your name, contact details and what you tell us, in order to arrange and produce the show. We do not sell it and we do not add you to a mailing list.
12.2 The recording is published, and everything in it becomes public. Clause 7 is how you keep out of it what should stay out of it.
12.3 Our privacy notice at matewishkey.com/privacy sets out what the website itself collects.
13 NO EMPLOYMENT
13.1 This agreement does not create an employment relationship, a partnership, a joint venture, or an agency between us. You are not our employee and not our contractor.
