These terms govern use of mnm-labs.com and the Fridget Labs platform. They apply to everyone who visits the site or holds an account — including prospective partners. If you record cooking sessions for us, the Operator Terms apply to you as well.
1. Who we are and what this covers
MnM Labs (“Fridget,” “we,” “us”) operates the website at mnm-labs.com and the Fridget Labs platform, including the Fridget Labs iOS app and the systems behind it (together, the “Platform”). By using the Platform you agree to these Platform Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
The consumer Fridget cooking app is a separate product with its own legal pages inside the app; these terms do not govern it.
2. What Fridget Labs is
Fridget Labs is a data-collection platform. Invited contributors record themselves cooking real meals in their own kitchens on their own iPhones, producing first-person video, depth, and motion data with step-aligned annotations. We build training datasets for robotics and AI from the recordings we accept, and license those datasets to vetted partners.
The Platform is not a marketplace, a staffing agency, or a service you can book. We do not sell datasets or grant access to them through this website. Nothing published here is an offer capable of acceptance, and browsing the site or emailing us creates no licence, no partnership, and no obligation on either side.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform. Most of the site is public and needs no account. Fridget Labs accounts are invite-only.
If you hold an account: give us accurate information and keep it current, keep your credentials secure, do not share your access with anyone, and tell us promptly at joe@mnm-labs.com if you think your account has been compromised. You are responsible for activity under your account.
4. Acceptable use
When you use the Platform, you agree not to:
- Access, or try to access, any account, system, dataset, or non-public area you are not authorised to reach.
- Scrape, crawl, harvest, or bulk-download content or data from the Platform, or use automated means to do so, beyond ordinary search-engine indexing of public pages.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise try to derive the source code, models, or dataset contents behind the Platform, except where the law expressly permits it.
- Interfere with the Platform's operation or security — including probing, penetration testing without our written permission, denial-of-service traffic, or circumventing rate limits or access controls.
- Upload or transmit malware, or anything designed to damage or gain unauthorised access to a system.
- Misrepresent who you are or what you are affiliated with, or use the Platform for any unlawful, deceptive, or infringing purpose.
- Use our name, logo, or content to suggest a partnership, endorsement, or relationship that does not exist.
5. Datasets and licensing
Dataset access happens only under a separate written agreement signed by both sides. That agreement — not this page, not a conversation, and not anything on our website — sets out what a partner receives, what it may do with it, for how long, on what terms, and at what price. We vet partners before licensing to them.
Anything we publish about a dataset — sample material, statistics, specifications, or descriptions of what is being collected — is provided for information. It may change, and it grants you no rights in the data. Sample or preview material we make available may be used only to evaluate a possible licence, and not for training, redistribution, or any commercial purpose, unless a written agreement says otherwise.
6. Our intellectual property
The Platform and everything in it that we own — text, design, graphics, logos, software, datasets, and documentation — belongs to MnM Labs or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to view and use the public parts of the site for your own information and to evaluate working with us. That is the whole of what is granted; every other right is reserved.
“MnM Labs” and “Fridget,” together with our logos, are our marks. Do not use them without our written permission, except to refer to us fairly and accurately.
7. Anything you send us
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Platform or the program, we may use them freely, without obligation to you and without payment. Please do not send us confidential information you do not want us to use — unless we have signed a confidentiality agreement covering it, we cannot treat unsolicited material as confidential.
This section does not apply to recordings submitted through Fridget Labs. Those are governed by the Operator Terms and the consent you accept in the app.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we handle it, and forms part of your agreement with us. Worth knowing up front: this website sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and loads no advertising or social-media pixels. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.
9. Availability and changes
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform at any time, and we may impose limits on features or restrict access without notice. We do not promise that the Platform will always be available or that content on it is current or complete. Where a change would materially affect an account holder, we will give reasonable notice where we practically can.
10. Third-party links and services
The Platform may link to sites and services we do not control — TestFlight and the App Store, for example. We are not responsible for their content, practices, or terms, and a link is not an endorsement. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that service's own terms and privacy policy.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM AND ALL CONTENT ON IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE PLATFORM, ITS CONTENT, ITS ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, OR ANY DATASET DESCRIBED ON IT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT IT IS FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND TITLE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Nothing in this section affects a statutory right you have that cannot be excluded.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MNM LABS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS, LOST OPPORTUNITY, OR LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, FROM ANY CONTENT ON IT, FROM UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO IT, OR FROM ANY EVENT BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.
These limits do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for our wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or to any other liability that the law does not allow to be limited or excluded. Where any part of this section is unenforceable, our liability is limited to the greatest extent the law does allow.
If you have a written agreement with us covering a dataset or another commercial arrangement, the liability terms of that agreement govern that arrangement, not this section.
13. Indemnity
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will indemnify MnM Labs and its officers, employees, contractors, and agents against claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Platform, or your infringement of anyone's rights through it.
14. Suspension of access
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these terms, broken the law, or created a security, legal, or operational risk. You may stop using the Platform at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive do survive — including Sections 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 16, and 18.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The current version always lives at this address, with its effective date and version number at the top. Where a change is material and you hold an account, we will notify you by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Platform after the effective date means you accept the updated terms.
16. Governing law and disputes
These terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Platform, are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law rules and excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yafo have exclusive jurisdiction.
There is no arbitration agreement here, no class-action waiver, and no jury-trial waiver. Mandatory rules that give you the protection of the law of your own country of residence remain unaffected.
17. How our documents fit together
Three documents govern different things, and each controls in its own territory:
If they conflict: on the handling of personal data, the Privacy Policy controls; on recording, submissions, and compensation, the Operator Terms control; on everything else about the Platform, these terms control. A signed written agreement — a dataset licence, for example — controls over all of them for the arrangement it covers.
18. General
No amendment or waiver is effective unless we make it in writing; a delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. We may assign these terms in connection with a transfer of our business; you may not assign yours without our written agreement. If a provision is found unenforceable, it is narrowed to the extent needed or severed, and the rest remains in force. Headings are for convenience only, and these terms will not be read against us merely because we drafted them.
