OVERVIEW: Project Aria 2023 Research Challenges (“Challenges”) are sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) and consist of three separate challenges (“Challenge”), as described in more detail below. Eligible participants can participate in one or more Challenge as an Individual or a Team (defined below) to develop machine learning models that address the tasks set forth for each specific Challenge (“Predictions”). A training data set for each Challenge, as well as a validation and publicly available test set for each Challenge (each a “Data Set”) and related resources for participation are available athttps://projectaria.com (the “Challenge Website”) or at the individual webpages for each Challenge on Evail.AI (each also referred to herein as a “Evaluation Website”). Where distinction is not necessary, the Evaluation Website and the Challenge Website are referred to collectively as the “Website”. Entrants will use information from the Data Sets and the Website to develop their Predictions for the applicable Challenge. Predictions for prize consideration can be submitted through the applicable Evaluation Website in accordance with the submission dates and times set forth on the Evaluation Website (“Challenge Period”). Certain Challenges may offer more than one Challenge Period, as described in more detail on the applicable Evaluation Website. By entering these Challenges, each Entrant agrees that Entrant’s biographical information, and other content provided by Entrant and members of their Team, if participating on a Team, as well as Entrant’s Predictions may be publicly announced and posted, including, without limitation, through posting online.

ELIGIBILITY: For the purposes of the Challenges, the “Territory” means any area, country, state, territory, or province where United States or local laws do not prohibit participating or receiving a prize in the Challenges and excludes any country or jurisdiction that is the target of U.S., EU, United Nations, or UK comprehensive trade sanctions (e.g., Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, and Syria, as such list may be amended).

The Challenges are open only to entrants who are:

a. natural persons who are, as of the date of entry, (i) a resident of a jurisdiction within the Territory;

(ii) at least eighteen (18) years old and the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence (e.g., country, province, state, territory, district, etc.); and (iii) not the target of any trade sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S., EU, United Nations, or UK and are not acting on behalf of entities that are the target of such trade sanctions (any and each, an “Individual”); or

b. an association of Individuals that does not constitute a legally recognized entity (any and each, a “Team”).

Where distinction is not necessary, any Individual or Team (including each Team member) that enters or takes steps to participate in the Challenges is referred to in these Terms as an “Entrant.”

Individuals who are named authors on the paper Project Aria: A New Tool for Egocentric Multi-Modal AI Research (“Paper”); personnel, officers, directors, members, managers, agents, and representatives of Sponsor and individuals involved in developing or closely associated with the Data Sets; any other entities participating in the design, promotion, marketing, administration, or fulfillment of the Challenges; or any of their respective corporate partners, parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors in interest, and advertising, promotion, and public relations agencies (collectively, the “Released Parties”), and any family member or member of the same household (whether or not related) of any of the foregoing are not eligible to win a prize in the Challenges. For purposes of the Challenges, the term “family member” is defined as any spouse, partner, parent, legal guardian, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, or in-law.

Entrants (including each member of a Team) must not be under any legal or contractual obligation that would prohibit their participation in the Challenges as described in these Terms. If participating in the Challenges would result in a violation by Entrant of any law applicable to them/it or any agreement to which they or it are a party, including any agreement with an employer or educational institution, such Entrant is ineligible. If Entrant is associated with or an employee of a company/business/organization/educational institution (any, a “company”), Entrant represents and warrants that their participation in the Challenges and their grant of all rights set forth in these Terms do not violate their company’s policies and procedures.

Participation in the Challenges constitutes Entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Terms and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters. Any natural person completing any portion of the entry process described in these Terms on behalf of a Team Entrant must be authorized to act on behalf of that Team. If a Team is entering the Challenges, they must appoint and authorize one individual (the “Representative”) to represent, act, and enter, on their behalf. The Representative must meet the eligibility requirements above and will be considered the Individual who completes and submits the Team’s Entry through the Website. By entering on behalf of a Team you represent and warrant that you are the Representative authorized to act on behalf of your Team.

To be eligible to win a prize in the Challenges, winning Entrants (defined below) agree to publish their winning Prediction and a public report (e.g. whitepaper or publication) describing the method used for generating the Predictions.

HOW TO ENTER: To enter the Challenge, eligible Entrants must complete ALL of the following steps before the end of the Challenge Period:

1. Create an account at https://eval.ai/auth/signup.

2. Visit the Website to review participation instructions for the Challenges you wish to participate in and follow provided links to access the Challenge’s provided Data Sets.

3. Use the Data Sets to train a model to generate Predictions for a Challenge in accordance with the instructions set forth on the Website and these Terms. Use of the Data Sets is subject to the terms set forth at https://projectaria.com.

4. Submit Predictions during the Challenge Period by following the Prediction instructions on the applicable Challenges Website.

Entrants must use the applicable Challenge Data Sets to train their models to generate Predictions to the best of their ability and compile information and data necessary to evaluate the performance of the Prediction in a container. If Participants use any external data for a Challenge, it must comply with the External Data requirements in the ENTRY REQUIREMENTS section set forth below. To be eligible for prizes in a Challenge, Predictions must outperform the baseline(s) on the leaderboard on the primary metric for the applicable Challenge (unless the baseline is provided by a participant who is ineligible for winning a prize e.g. if the baseline is provided by Meta).

For each Challenge there is a limit of one (1) Prediction per day. The overall Prediction limit per Entrant for each Challenge will be set forth on the applicable Challenge webpage on EvalAI. For the purposes of this Challenge, a “day” is defined as from 00:00:00 – 23:59:59 PDT. Entrants may submit more than one Prediction for each Challenge, however only Entrant’s best uploaded public Prediction will be considered Entrant’s Entry (defined below) for prize consideration for the applicable Challenge. Each Individual may participate either in their individual capacity or on one Team for each Challenge. All Predictions must be made via public entry through the applicable Challenges webpage on EvalAI to be valid for Challenge consideration.

Individuals may register only once for a Challenge either as an Individual or as part of a Team. If an Individual registers for a Challenge more than once, the Individual may be, and the remainder of their Team may be, disqualified in Sponsor’s sole discretion. An Individual cannot join more than one (1) Team for a Challenge and an Individual who is part of a Team for a Challenge cannot also enter that Challenge on an individual basis. If you are participating as a Team, you must join (or form, if not yet formed) your desired Team for the Challenge on EvalAI.

Submitting Entries to a Challenge from more than one EvalAI account per Individual (if competing as an Individual) is a breach of these Terms and Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Individual (and that Individual’s Team, if applicable) who is found to breach these Terms.

Predictions must be uploaded in accordance with all instructions specified on the applicable Evaluation Website, including the specified format.

The Predictions and related content and information submitted through the Evaluation Website in accordance with these Terms and instructions of Sponsor, and all materials actually received by Sponsor, are referred to in these terms as an “Entry”. An Entrant’s Prediction and any other content or materials that an Entrant submits to Sponsor as part of the Challenges is referred to collectively as the Entrant’s “Entrant Content”. All Entrant Content submitted in the Challenges must comply fully with the “Entry Requirements” section below.

Entries must be submitted and received by the EvalAI platform during the Challenge Period in strict accordance with these Terms. The EvalAI clock will be the official timekeeper for the Challenges. For purposes of the Challenges, only complete Entries that are actually received by EvalAI through the applicable Evaluation Website and during the applicable Challenge Period will be considered. Other proof of submitting or attempting to submit an Entry (such as, without limitation, a printed, saved or copied automated receipt confirming entry, a “Thanks for submitting” screen or message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of the Entry for purposes of the Challenge. Those who do not abide by these Terms and the instructions of Sponsor and its representatives and provide all required Entrant Content may, in Sponsor’s discretion, be disqualified. Entries (or participation that does not qualify as an “Entry”) that are incomplete, lost, late, misdirected, mutilated, fraudulent, illegitimate, incomprehensible, garbled, or generated by a macro, bot, or other automated means will not be accepted and will be void. Entries or participation made on behalf of an Entrant by a third party not affiliated or associated with that Entrant (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) or originating through any commercial promotion subscription, notification, or entering services will be declared invalid and disqualified for the Challenge. No Released Party will have any responsibility or liability for any dispute regarding any Entrant, including the identity of any Individual Entrant, the composition or members of a Team Entrant, or the distribution of any prize won among members of a Team Entrant. In the event that any dispute regarding an Entry or Entrant (including those regarding the identity or members of an Entrant Team or any Entrant’s rights in a Prediction) cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the Entry will be deemed ineligible and the Entrant disqualified. ENTRIES AND PARTICIPATION MAY NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED, WILL NOT BE RETURNED AND, IN FACT, MAY BE DESTROYED. KEEP A COPY OR THE ORIGINAL OF EACH ELEMENT OF THE ENTRY. ANY ENTRY THAT DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS IN THESE TERMS MAY, IN SPONSOR’S DISCRETION, BE DEEMED INELIGIBLE.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: In addition to the instructions listed above, Entrant Content must meet all of the following requirements, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, or the associated Entry may be disqualified:

Platform Terms: Each Entrant must also at all times comply with all terms and policies applicable to the Website and any third party platform that Entrant may use in connection with Entrant’s participation (e.g. GitHub, AWS, etc.).

Public Posting/Sharing: Entrants are encouraged to make the code submitted with their Entry public, but doing so is not a condition for Entry. In addition to Sponsor and third party use of the Entrant Content detailed elsewhere in these Terms, Predictions may be posted to the Website and Entrants’ standing may be identified in a leaderboard. Leaderboard standings are not dispositive. Sponsor’s decisions and the evaluation and judging process set forth herein are dispositive.

Sponsor may request written proof of ownership of or adequate license to Entrant of any Entrant Content. Failure to timely provide adequate proof of ownership or sufficient license rights in any content included in the Entrant Content (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) may result in the Entrant being disqualified and related Entry deemed void.

External Data: If Entrants use any data in addition to the Data Sets to develop Predictions or otherwise participate in the Challenges, Entrants must have all rights, licenses and permissions to use such external data as contemplated in these Terms. Entrant represents and warrants that any use of any external data in connection with participation in the Challenges is pursuant to and in accordance with a valid license that permits use of the external data in a competition for prize money without the need for additional approvals from any third party, and agrees to provide Sponsor or Sponsor’s representative with proof (to Sponsor’s satisfaction) of such license upon request at any time during or after the Challenges and Challenge evaluation process. Potential winners may also be required to certify in writing that they have permission to use all external data used to develop potentially winning Entries. Failure to satisfy any of these requirements in accordance with Sponsor’s instructions and timing, or Sponsor or its representive’s belief that an Entrant does not have all necessary consents and licenses (notwithstanding any certification by Entrant) will result in disqualification from the Challenges and forfeiture of any prize claim.

Language: All Entrant Content must be in English or, if not in English, the Entrant must provide an accurate English translation and promptly respond to questions or requests for clarification from Sponsor within the timeframe requested, if any. If any part of an Entrant’s Entrant Content depicts, identifies, or includes any person that is not Entrant themselves or, for a Team Entrant, a member of the Team, Entrant must have permission from the individual depicted, identified, or included (and, if such individual is a minor, their parent or legal guardian) and Entrant agrees to provide Sponsor with written confirmation of those permissions and rights upon request.

Entrant Content must not contain or describe any harmful or illegal activity or content or in any way violate any federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations and Entrant is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws in connection with their Challenge participation, including compliance with any trade laws or regulations applicable to their

Entry under this Challenge. Entrant Content must be suitable for presentation in a public forum. Entrant agrees that their participation in the Challenge and agreement to these Terms and any Released Party’s reproduction, display, and use of the Entrant Content in accordance with these Terms will not violate any agreement to which Entrant is a signatory or party. Entrant agrees to indemnify the Released Parties against any and all claims from any third party for any use or reuse by any Released Party of the Entrant Content authorized under these Terms. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify from the Challenge any Entrant whose Entry (in its sole discretion) refers, depicts, or in any way reflects negatively upon a Released Party, the Challenge, or any other person or entity or does not comply with these Terms, including any of the above Entry requirements. Violation of these Terms may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in disqualification. If a Prediction was developed using code containing or depending on software licensed under an open source license, that license must be an Approved OSS license.

WINNER SELECTION/NOTIFICATION: The Predictions for each Challenge will be evaluated based upon the evaluation metrics set forth on the Evaluation Website and in the Paper. The top entry receiving the highest scores for each Challenge based upon the stated metric(s) will be potential winners, subject to verification and compliance with any and all of Sponsor’s requirements, including completion of Winner Documents (defined below) and an academic explanation of potential winner’s Prediction. A tie between two or more valid and identically scored Predictions submitted during the Challenge Period will be resolved in favor of the tied Prediction that was submitted first. In the event an Entrant submits Predictions from a method that is substantially similar to a method previously used by the Entrant in the Challenge, the performance of such subsequent Predictions must be a non-trivial improvement over the previous Prediction as determined in Sponsor's sole discretion to be eligible for winner selection.

An Entrant may decline to be nominated as a winner by notifying Sponsor directly within one week following the end of the Challenge Period, in which case the declining Entrant forgoes any prize or other features associated with winning the Challenge. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify an Entrant who so declines at Sponsor’s sole discretion if Sponsor deems disqualification appropriate.

Winners will be determined as specifically described, and not using any random drawing or method incorporating chance. Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winners via the email address associated with the EvalAI account that submitted the potentially winning Prediction within ten (10) days following the conclusion of the applicable Challenge Period and potential winners will need to contact Sponsor in accordance with EvalAI’s instructions and by the stated deadlines to complete the winner verification process. Sponsor may also publicly post the results, including individual and team names (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion). Each potential individual winner, including all natural people who are members of a winning Team (as determined and requested in Sponsor’s sole discretion) may be required to complete, execute, have notarized (if applicable), and return an affidavit or declaration confirming eligibility, a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law), tax documents and related prize-acceptance documents (collectively, “Winner Documents”) within the time frame specified and in the form provided by Sponsor’s representative, without revision, or prize may be forfeited.

Potential winners will also be required to prepare an academic explanation of their winning Prediction, addressing requirements and questions set forth by Sponsor, for review by a Sponsor designated representative.The academic explanation must be submitted within the stated time period and published to arxiv.org or a similar platform under a permissive Creative Commons license without commercial restriction.

If any individual Entrant, individual member of a Team, or Representative refuses to comply with the foregoing requirements and other requirements of Sponsor, their Entry may be disqualified at any time and/or prize may be forfeited in Sponsor’s sole discretion with no liability or responsibility to the respective Entrant or any individual within that Team, even if other Team members have complied with the requirements. The winners must respond to Sponsor’s winner notification within three (3) days of attempted notification or other time period set forth in the notification or prize may be forfeited. Any Winner Documents required of the winner must be received by Sponsor from the potential winner by the deadline specified by Sponsor in the Winner Document correspondence or prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected. If any notification or other Challenge-related communication is returned as undeliverable, or if a selected potential winner cannot be reached or does not respond as instructed after Sponsor has attempted to notify that potential winner, that selected Winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be determined (time permitting and in Sponsor’s sole discretion). Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winner, if any. The prize claim and Winner Documents are subject to verification by Sponsor. All prizes legitimately claimed will be awarded. Sponsor will not be obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternates (time permitting) for the prize for any reason.

To the fullest extent allowable under applicable law, all taxes, if any (including, without limitation, national, federal, state, provincial, territorial, prefectural, and/or local taxes), as well as any expenses arising from acceptance or use of the prize and not specified in these Terms as being provided as part of the prize, are the sole responsibility of the winner. Winners may be required to provide certain information to facilitate receipt of the prize, including completing and submitting any tax or other forms necessary for compliance with applicable withholding and reporting requirements.

Sponsor, Sponsor representatives and judges' decisions are final and binding in all matters.

PRIZES AND QUANTITY: The number of winners, prize descriptions and value of each prize will be set forth on the applicable Evaluation Website.

After verification of eligibility, each winner will receive the prize in the form of a check or electronic transfer from Sponsor’s representative made out to the winner (if an Individual, or to the individual Team members if a Team), as determined in Sponsor representative’s sole discretion. Allow 30 days from final verification and confirmation for prize delivery.

If a Team wins a prize, all Team members must submit a single written statement describing how the prize is to be allocated among the Team members. If the Team fails to submit such a statement within 30 days after the end of the Challenge Period, then Sponsor’s representative will distribute the prize among Team members in equal shares and will have no further obligation to winning Team members. Winners may receive an IRS 1099 form or W-8BEN, as applicable, from Sponsor’s representative in the amount of their prize at the appropriate time. Prize winners are responsible for any taxes, fees or other liability resulting from their receipt of a Prize.

In the event there is an alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Challenge-related materials and these Terms (including any alleged discrepancy or inconsistency within these Terms), it will be resolved by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Entrants waive any right to claim ambiguity in the Challenge or these Terms. If Sponsor determines (at any time and in its sole discretion) that any winner or potential winner is disqualified, ineligible, in violation of these Terms, or engaging in behavior that Sponsor deems obnoxious, inappropriate, threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, or harass any other person or entity, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify such winner or potential winner, even if the disqualified winner or potential winner may have been notified or displayed or announced anywhere. Sponsor’s failure to or decision not to enforce any provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Terms will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. If the Challenge is not capable of running as planned for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or suspend the Challenge and award the prize based on eligible Entries received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension, if any, or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor.

If any dispute regarding an Entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, such Entry will be deemed ineligible.
