moby

moby is a secure identification and onboarding service to help You verify Your identity to gain otherwise restricted access to a facility, service, or application. To use the App, You are required to register a Profile so that moby can verify Your identity.

You are required to possess a valid, government issued identification document (ID) verifying Your identity. moby may, at its sole discretion, use external sources to verify the details provided on the government issued identification document that You submit to moby against the records held by the issuing authority or other legitimate parties.

The number and type of ID Documents You need to provide for the purpose verifying Your identity may vary depending on the requirements of the relevant Organization to which you seek access. The App will prompt You to provide the ID Documents required in each case. You may also be required to:

Capture images of your face using a compatible camera to facilitate a live scan identity verification process.
Submit a personal email address through the identity verification process and confirm that this email address is under Your control.
Submit Your personal mobile phone number through the identity verification process and confirm that this mobile phone is under Your control.

You must successfully complete the instructions and directions given by moby by email, SMS, phone, or App, in order to use the App. Your use of the App will be denied if You do not comply with the instructions or submit information that is incomplete, incorrect, or false.

Using the App

By registering a Profile using the App, details of Your verified identity, Your ID, email address, mobile phone number, and selfie will be securely stored in Amazon Web Service (AWS) for Your future use. When You use the moby Service to verify Your identity, information stored in Your Profile is used to streamline the process. You may be prompted to provide additional information or ID Documents if required by the Organization to which you seek access.

Updates and PUSH notifications

moby may send You service announcements, administrative messages, notification of updated terms and conditions and other information via the App in connection with Your use of the App. These PUSH notifications are designed to enhance your knowledge, participation and App engagement.

moby may from time to time introduce other services that form part of, or complement, the App. moby will notify You, and obtain Your consent, before providing any service or function that requires additional fees.

Your Profile

You must register a Profile in order to use the App. The first time You use the App, You will be guided through the process to register Your Profile. The App may require access to location services on a compatible mobile device, and if so, You agree to enable location detection and permit the App to share your current location while using the App. moby agrees to use location information only as set forth in these Terms of Use.

Each Profile is unique to an individual, and the App on each device can be used only to hold a single Profile. If You have multiple Devices, You may create a separate Profile on each Device. Each Profile can be used with the App to verify the identity of one individual only. Allowing another individual to access and use Your Profile to gain access to an Organization is subject to immediate account termination without remuneration or refund of prepaid subscription fees.

A Profile is associated with the mobile Device’s International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a unique fifteen digital number for identifying a device on a mobile network and mobile telephone number used to register the Profile. The App will store some data on Your Device or secure server to secure Your Profile, and this may be backed up by the operating system on Your Device. It may be possible to restore Your Profile to a Device using the backup of the App’s data, subject to technical limitations, and moby cannot guarantee that recovery will be successful in any given case.

Your Profile may not be recoverable, for example, if Your Device becomes lost or damaged and the data from the App was not backed up, or cannot be successfully restored, or if You do not enter the correct PIN. If Your Profile cannot be recovered for any reason, You will need to create a new Profile and follow the steps to verify Your identity again.

Profile Images

You may be given the option to capture a photo within the App to be associated with Your Profile. moby will only use Your Profile Image in accordance with these Terms of Use. To use Your Profile Image to verify your identity:

You grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, license-fee free, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable right to use the Profile Image and any Intellectual Property in the Profile Image, in accordance with these Terms;
You consent to the use of the Profile Image by us or our licensees and assignees, in accordance with these Terms, which would infringe Your moral or privacy rights but for this consent;
You represent and warrant that You are the sole creator of the Profile Image and owner of Intellectual Property in the Profile Image, and that its use by us or our licensees and assignees in accordance with these Terms will not infringe the rights (including Intellectual Property rights) of any third party; and

Indemnification

You will indemnify moby and hold moby harmless fully against all liabilities, costs, losses, claims and expenses which moby may incur to a third party as a result of Your breach of any of the provisions of these Terms.

Privacy

You agree that moby can collect Your Personal Information so that You can be provided with identity checking services, facilitated through the App. Without this information, Your ID Documents cannot be validated, and the App and any related services cannot be provided.

moby collects personal information when You use the App to verify your identity and gain access to an Organization including ID data, photographic (including “selfies”) images, email, and mobile phone data, which may include information that discloses Your mobile phone’s physical or geographical location (commonly referred to as “location services”), operating system, settings and security protocols.

You acknowledge that information about the ID Documents that You provide may be vetted by moby and that moby may use other issuing authorities and third-party providers to confirm whether it matches information held by the issuing authority or entity. You agree that the ID Verification service can generate information about whether there is a match, and that moby can use that match information in providing delivering identify verification services. If moby offers checking of an ID Document issued overseas and You provide such an ID Document in connection with the App, You agree that information may be transferred internationally for the purpose of this identity verification process, and that moby may use third party systems and services as moby engages with other service providers.

moby may hold some information about You as a result of the provision of our services. moby may use this information to assist in checking details about Your identity and/ or complete a background security check. Details verified in this way may be disclosed to participating Organizations who access the App with Your consent to authenticate Your identity, to complete a background security verification check, and/or to ensure compliance with that Organization’s visitation policies or procedures. By registering a Profile, You agree that moby may link some details of this information to Your Profile, which helps us keep Your registered information up to date.

Wherein You have consented to have Your identity verified for the purpose of accessing an Organization, moby may provide to that Organization some Personal Information that has been verified, which may include Your name, address, device information, location information, email address and date of birth, and confirmation that a match has been confirmed. moby may provide to the Organization copies of ID Documents, photographic images (including “selfies”), identification numbers used on ID Documents, and/or details of the authentication sources used to check Your identity. If moby reasonably believes that information provided to an Organization is or has become incorrect, misleading or out-of-date, moby may inform the Organization and provide the applicable corrections and, as appropriate, our assessment.

In-Person Verification

In cases where the identity verification process needs to be completed in person (for example, at a correctional facility), moby may retain the information You provided through the App, including Your Personal Information, for a limited period to allow You time to complete the process.

If You register a Profile:

moby may store some information, including Your name, date of birth, email address and address, and ID Document numbers, in an encrypted form and will only use or share them with Your express consent in connection with Your future use of the Service or the App;
moby may also store other Personal Information, information about the types of ID Document You have verified with moby, and information collected for Your future use of the Service or the App;
moby may disclose information collected about You in connection with the App (including Personal Information) to various providers to validate Your identity;
the App may collect and disclose to moby information (including Personal Information) about You in order to facilitate the verification and onboarding process; and
some information may be stored on Your Device (for example, Your name and photo are stored so these can be displayed in the App to personalize Your experience).

Biometric Template

You consent to moby creating a biometric template, defined as a digital reference of distinct personal characteristics that have been extracted from a biometric sample, for example the “selfie” You provide to moby, from the data collected from the App. For example, moby may use biometric templates to verify Your Profile Image by comparing it with Your image that may be available to us from other online sources. moby will store Your biometric template for further verifications and user experiences. You acknowledge some or all of your biometric template may be validated against sources that are not controlled by moby or the Organization, but that validation will be completed only with Your specific consent. You may provide this consent through this agreement or directly to the Organization.

Access of Personal Profile to Law Enforcement

You hereby authorize moby to disclose the information moby holds about You and grant access to Your Profile to law enforcement and government authorities and agencies in accordance with their lawful requests.

Date Storage

moby processes and stores Personal Information obtained as part of the App on our secure servers located in the United States (US). Personal Information would only be likely be processed outside the US if you authorize a foreign Organization to access Your information for purposes of using the Service or the App, or where you seek to authenticate Your identity using a foreign-issued ID Document that moby accepts.

Your Personal Information is handled in accordance with the US Privacy Policy which outlines how to access and/or correct Your Personal Information or make a privacy-related complaint. Your Personal Information will be collected and handled securely, and only for the purpose of checking Your identity or facilitating that verification process.

Intellectual Property

moby and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property rights subsisting in the App, the Service, and any other Intellectual Property created in connection with these Terms or, Your use of the Service (other than Your photographic image specifically described above). You agree to do anything necessary to assign any such Intellectual Property rights to us. You may not use any such Intellectual Property, other than as necessary for Your use of the App or the Service, without our express written consent.

These Terms do not constitute a transfer or conveyance of any Intellectual Property owned by moby, including but not limited to all Intellectual Property associated with the Service, the App, and their functionality, features and content, or operate as a future transfer of any Intellectual Property owned by moby any time thereafter.

You acknowledge that the Service and the App, including all materials provided in the course of Your consideration, application, or use of the Service and the App, are protected by copyright and may also be protected as other forms of Intellectual Property owned by moby or moby’s licensors or affiliates. You will not during or at any time after the termination of these Terms undertake or permit any act which infringes or attempts to infringe those Intellectual Property rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, You specifically acknowledge that You must not copy the App except as otherwise expressly authorized or acknowledged by these Terms.

General

Any disputes between You and any third party, including, without limitation, any Organization, are to be resolved solely between You and that party.

These Terms are governed by and are to be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts exercising jurisdiction in Kentucky and courts of appeal from them in respect of any proceedings arising out of or in connection with these Terms. Each party irrevocably waives any objection to the venue of any legal process in these courts on the basis that the process has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, void or unenforceable by a court of law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the remainder of the Terms which will continue in full force and effect.

All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.

moby shall not be deemed to have waived any of our rights or remedies under these Terms unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized officers. No delay or omission on our part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies.

These Terms (together with the EULA, if You use the App though another provider) constitute the entire agreement and understanding between You and moby and supersede any and all prior communications, representations, agreements or understandings between You and moby with respect to the subject matter of these Terms. You acknowledge and agree that You have not relied on any statement by us which has not been expressly included in this document.

You cannot assign, novate or otherwise transfer any of Your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of moby which consent can be granted or withheld in the absolute discretion of moby. An assignment in breach of these Terms is void and of no force and effect, and constitutes a breach entitling moby to terminate Your license to use the Service or the App.

moby can assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under these Terms.

Without limiting or impacting upon the continued operation of any clause which as a matter of construction is intended to survive the termination of this document, each warranty, promise, indemnity, and waiver offered by You in these Terms is a continuing obligation, independent from the other obligations of the parties and survives the termination of these Terms. It is not necessary for us to incur expense or make payment before enforcing a right of indemnity against You under these Terms.
