1. Purpose
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Non-Disclosure Agreement
(NDA) establish a collaborative framework between All Safe City (ASC) and
Tallinn Technical University (TalTech). The purpose is to validate the Active Air
Protection System (AAPS), explore AI and machine learning applications, and
safeguard confidential information exchanged during the collaboration.
2. Scope of Cooperation
The cooperation will take place in three phases, covering air purification
testing, data collection, and advanced AI development, in accordance with
the proposal submitted by TalTech and the agreement to be concluded
between the parties:
Phase 1: Physical and Platform Testing
● Validate the AAPS’s air purification performance under controlled
laboratory conditions.
● Test controllable parameters such as fan speed and UV light ON/OFF
via ASC’s existing app and cloud platform.
● Conduct initial environmental testing for performance under varying
temperature and humidity levels.
Phase 2: Data Collection and Integration
● Deploy AAPS devices in real-world environments (schools, elderly care,
public facilities) to collect and bundle over 12,000 lines of sensor data.
● Consolidate the data through ASC’s cloud platform and API access for
TalTech’s analysis.
Phase 3: AI Sorting and Advanced Applications
● Develop AI/ML models for anomaly detection, environmental
predictions, and real-time actionable insights.
● Integrate data into an AI-driven “sorting station” for advanced
applications, such as Smart City solutions, healthcare insights, and
sustainability tools.

3. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Terms
Both parties agree to:
1. Definition of Confidential Information:
○ All technical, business, operational, and proprietary information is
shared, including but not limited to device performance, testing
results, software, algorithms, designs, and research data.
○ Any data accessed through the ASC platform or APIs, including
sensor outputs, anonymized user data, and analytics.
2. Obligations:
○ Both ASC and TalTech shall:
■ Use Confidential Information solely for the purposes of the
collaboration outlined in this agreement.
■ Maintain strict confidentiality and protect all shared
information against unauthorized access or disclosure.
■ Ensure that Confidential Information is shared only with
personnel or students directly involved in testing or
research, on a need-to-know basis.
○ Confidentiality obligations remain in effect for 5 years after the
termination of this agreement.
3. Exclusions:
○ Information already in the public domain or independently
developed without access to Confidential Information is excluded
from confidentiality obligations.
4. Return or Destruction of Information:
○ Upon termination, all Confidential Information, whether written
or digital, shall be returned or destroyed, unless required for
academic research (with prior ASC approval).
4. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
1. Existing IP:
○ All existing technologies, designs, and solutions (material)
belonging to the ASC remain the exclusive property of the ASC.
TalTech retains ownership of its existing intellectual property.
3
○ If ASC transfers material protected by intellectual property rights
to TalTech for the purpose of implementing the cooperation
project, the company shall also grant TalTech the right (license) to
use said materials for the purpose of implementing the project.
ASC confirms that it holds all intellectual property rights to the
transferred material, and ASC shall be solely liable for any
infringements of intellectual property rights of third parties that
may be raised by third parties in connection with the use,
improvement, modification, etc., of the transferred material.
○ If intellectual property belonging to TalTech is necessary for the
ASC’s business activities, TalTech shall grant the company the
right to use such intellectual property. The terms of use of the
intellectual property shall be agreed upon in good faith,
presumably for a reasonable fee.
○ ASC shall also have a preferential right to acquire a sole license or
acquire ownership with a right of first refusal to the proprietary
intellectual property rights to the intellectual property created by
TalTech during the cooperation, if TalTech wishes to dispose of
the intellectual property or grant its use under a sole license.
2. New Developments:
○ Any innovations, enhancements, or discoveries directly derived
from ASC’s ideas or technologies remain the property of ASC.
TalTech will have the right to use such developments strictly for
academic, non-commercial purposes, with the Company's prior
written consent. This consent will be granted in good faith and
without undue delay unless justifiable reasons are provided.
○ The ownership of new intellectual property first created during
the implementation of the project activities, and which inevitably
uses or incorporates material transferred by ASC shall be
determined in accordance with the Copyright Act. As a general
principle, the author of a derivative work acquires copyright to
their own work.
3. Jointly Developed IP:
○ Any jointly created intellectual property will be subject to a
separate, mutually agreed-upon agreement for ownership, usage,
and commercialization.

5. Roles and Responsibilities
ASC Responsibilities:
● Provide AAPS devices, technical documentation, and API access for
testing and research.
● Cover costs for initial deployment and facilitate collaboration with
TalTech teams.
● Maintain sole ownership of any shared platforms, data, and results
derived from ASC technologies.
TalTech Responsibilities:
● The cooperation project is coordinated by AI and Robotics Estonia
Center of Excellence in TalTech and will engage the necessary parties
and manage all documentation related to the agreement's conclusion
and execution.
● Conduct testing and validation phases, including environmental
performance and data integration.
● Offer expertise in AI/ML modeling and provide analytical support.
● Engage students and researchers in testing processes under strict
confidentiality guidelines.
