This Agreement constitutes a legally binding agreement between Creator and Collective Voice. If you are a Creator or use any of the Tools, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY All OF ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

1. Accounts.
To participate in the Program or create an Account, you must be at least 18 years of age and be a resident of the United States, the U.K., Canada, or Australia. Limit one Account per individual. You must comply with the terms of this Agreement to participate in the Program or have an Account. Accounts are personal to you. You shall keep your Account username and password confidential. You are responsible for maintaining the security of, and for all activities that occur under, your Account. You shall notify Collective Voice immediately if, or if you suspect that, the security of your Account has been breached. If you do not comply with the terms of this Agreement, we may terminate this Agreement and disclaim any obligation to compensate you in any manner for any of your activities that might otherwise have resulted in you receiving compensation had you complied with this Agreement.

In its sole discretion, Collective Voice may permit and designate subaccount(s) to be created under a Creator's primary Account to allow authorized representatives of Creator (e.g., agents, employees, personnel, and staff) to access certain Account information and Tools. Creator shall be responsible for all activity that occurs under their Account, including any activity in any related subaccount(s). All subaccount holders shall be subject to the terms of the is Agreement and all references "you" and "your" under this Agreement shall include Creators and subaccount holders. All references to "Accounts" under this Agreement shall include Creator Accounts and related subaccounts.

2. Participation.
By participating in the Program, Creators may be eligible to earn compensation on the content that they create ("Content") and that is made available on their websites, blogs, social media accounts, and related digital properties ("Properties"). We may evaluate the Properties at any time to determine compliance with this Agreement and other policies that we may make available from time to time, including but not limited to, our Community Guidelines (located at https://support.collectivevoice.com/hc/en-us/articles/12712440178701-Community-Guidelines) ("Policies"). Upon request, you shall provide supplementary documentation and information to support your compliance with this Agreement and our Policies. Participation in the Program is at the sole discretion of Collective Voice, and Collective Voice may terminate your participation in the Program and your Account for any reason or no reason at all at any time.

3. Modification.
Collective Voice reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time by posting a notice on www.collectivevoice.com or by sending you electronic notices (e.g., email or in-app notification). Unless otherwise set forth in the notice, any such modifications shall be effective immediately. Your continued use of your Account and/or the Tools shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement, as modified as of the date the notice was posted, unless another effective date is set forth in the notice. Collective Voice may, at any time, discontinue, suspend, modify, substitute, upgrade, replace, or terminate the Program, in whole and in part, with or without notice to you.

4. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
4.1 You and Collective Voice agree to arbitrate any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement, Collective Voice's business, any of the Programs or the Tools, and relationship with you, including any claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. This agreement to arbitrate includes any claims against Collective Voice's employees, agents or any subsidiaries. Arbitration is a method of claim resolution that is less formal than a traditional court proceeding in state or federal court. It uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and the arbitrator's decision is subject to limited review by courts.

4.2 All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a claim (including disputes about the scope, interpretation, breach, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of this Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall also decide whether any claim is subject to arbitration. You further agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.

4.3 CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND COLLECTIVE VOICE ALSO AGREE THAT EACH IS GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. This means that neither you nor Collective Voice can seek to assert class or representative claims against each other either in court or in arbitration and no relief can be awarded on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator also may not consolidate or join another person's claim with your claim or issue an order that would achieve the same result. You and Collective Voice further agree that if the provisions of this paragraph, known as the "Class Action Waiver," are found to be unenforceable, it cannot be severed from this arbitration agreement and the entire provision compelling arbitration shall be null and void.

4.4 To the extent possible under your local law, the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules or pursuant to JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules"). The Rules are available online at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. If your claim in arbitration is for less than $10,000, Rakuten will reimburse you for filing and arbitrator fees at the conclusion of the proceeding unless your claim is found to be frivolous by the arbitrator. The exclusive venue for any dispute or issue arising out of this Agreement shall be held in San Francisco County, California.

4.5 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you agree that if we make any future, material change to this arbitration provision, you may reject any change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to ShopStyle Inc. dba Collective Voice, 800 Concar Drive, Suite 175, San Mateo, CA 94402, Attn: Collective Voice Legal. Your decision to reject changes in a new arbitration provision, however, does not affect any prior arbitration provisions to which you have already agreed, which would still remain in effect.

4.6 This arbitration provision is optional. You may decline or opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending written and signed notice to ShopStyle Inc. dba Collective Voice, 800 Concar Drive, Suite 175, San Mateo, CA 94402, Attn: Collective Voice Legal within thirty (30) calendar days of enrolling as a Creator or accessing the Program for the first time.

4.7 Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in a court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

5. Tools.
By creating an Account, you may have access to the Tools. Subject to your compliance with the Agreement and all Policies, Collective Voice hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non- transferrable, revocable, limited license to use the Tools with your Content on your Properties for the Term (defined below) of this Agreement. You shall not use the Tools for any other purpose. You shall comply with all usage guidelines, technical requirements, and other policies relating to the Tools that Collective Voice may provide or post from time to time.

The Tools may include mechanisms to embed affiliate links ("Links") on your Content to direct visitors to merchants, retailers, marketers, and brand partners of Collective Voice ("Brands"). You may use Links with your Content on your Properties. You shall not use the Links on any properties or with any content that are not your own.

15. FTC Compliance.
You are solely responsible for your Content and your Properties. You shall adhere to all applicable consumer protection and privacy-related laws and regulations, including, without limitation, Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits ''unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce," all endorsement requirements of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), including, but not limited to the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (available at https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides- governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf), Endorsement and Testimonial Guidelines published by the United States Federal Trade Commission (available at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/endortest.shtm), the Native Ad Guides (available at https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/native-advertising-guidebusinesses), the FTC's "Dot Com Disclosures" Guidelines (available at: http://www.ftc.gov/os/2013/03/130312dotcomdisclosures.pdf) (collectively, "FTC Regulations"), and/or other legal equivalents applicable to your jurisdiction, as may change from time to time. Endorsements must reflect your honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences. An endorsement may not convey any express or implied representation that would be deceptive if made directly by the Brand. You shall include full, fair, effective, and compliant disclosures of the material facts relating to your relationship with Collective Voice and Brand. Your disclosure statement(s) should be clear, conspicuous and concise, should allow the audience sufficient time to hear, read or view such disclosure(s) and should accompany any and all posts that reference Collective Voice or Brand with which Creator has a relationship. For clarity, all Collective Voice or Brand references require disclosures, not just posts created pursuant to a specific campaign, product review and/or Statement of Work, including so-called "tags," "likes," "pins," etc. Disclosures should occur at the beginning of any post, caption, video or audio clip, should not be buried within text, hyperlink lists or Creator profiles, should not require any scrolling, and should be crafted in the same format as the post itself. For example, written endorsement posts require a written endorsement at the top of the post, "before the fold" (within the first few lines). If the endorsement occurs in a video, such as a "story" or "reel," disclosures should occur at the outset of the video and/or be superimposed onto the video. If an auditory endorsement, there should be a verbal disclaimer at the outset of the audio. Long videos (more than one minute) and streaming endorsements require multiple disclosures at intervals throughout. Creators may not rely solely on automated disclosure tools and should ensure disclosures are posted on each Creator platform where an endorsement is posted. When using Links, you must include a clear and conspicuous disclosure providing that you may earn fees in connection with your use of such links. You must use appropriate hashtags on your social posts (e.g., #ad or #sponsored), generally avoiding abbreviations other than "ad." If you are eligible to earn compensation or Fees on your Content, your disclosure statement must state that you are being compensated for your review or endorsement. If you receive a product for free from us or from a Brand, it must be clearly stated in a disclosure so that the reader can see both the disclosure and the review or endorsement at the same time. You shall immediately modify any Content and/or include the proper disclosures to comply with FTC Regulations or other legal or regulatory requirements upon notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of any review or notice by Collective Voice, you remain solely liable for the presence and content of your endorsement disclosures. Failure to comply with this provision or a request to comply with FTC Regulations or other legal or regulatory requirements within twenty-four hours may result in termination of your Account. For more information on how to comply with the FTC requirements, please visit https://www.ftc.gov.

16. Data Regulations.
You shall take all necessary and proper measures to protect personal privacy on your Properties, including, without limitation, making all appropriate privacy and data collection and/or data usage disclosures in accordance with Applicable Laws. You agree you will comply with the obligations under applicable data protection, privacy and/or similar laws that apply to data processed in connection with this Agreement. If you market to, target and/or or otherwise process any personal, sensitive or restricted data (as may be defined in relevant privacy laws including but not limited to the European Union "General Data Protection Regulation" ("GDPR") and/or the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), "California Consumer Privacy Act" ("CCPA") and/or any other laws or regulations arising from a state or other jurisdiction) from users in jurisdictions with those types of regulations, then you agree to comply with such laws, rules and regulations (collectively,"Data Privacy Laws").

You hereby acknowledge, and agree to abide by, Data Privacy Laws which require specific rights and notices. You agree and promise you shall inform users in a prominent, easy to read, understandable manner that you use tracking devices and cookies for advertising purposes, and you agree to obtain informed and affirmative user consent to place, or work with third parties to place, tracking devices, such as cookies (including those enabled by Collective Voice) on such users' computers and devices. You will share such consent with Collective Voice in a manner that is mutually agreed upon and provide users the ability to withdraw such consent, in each case via the technology made available to you by Collective Voice or such other consent tool approved by Collective Voice. You will cooperate with Collective Voice as reasonably requested to enable the compliance with this Section and all Applicable Laws.

Collective Voice does not collect any types of information considered "sensitive" personal information under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known without breach of this Agreement; (b) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of a nondisclosure obligation; (c) rightfully known prior to receiving such information from Collective Voice; or (d) developed independently of any information originating from Collective Voice. You agree that, during the Term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter, you will not disclose to any third party or use any Confidential Information disclosed by Collective Voice except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. You will take all reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information in your possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or otherwise as required by law, provided that you use reasonable efforts to notify Collective Voice in advance of such disclosure so as to permit Collective Voice to request confidential treatment or a protective order prior to such disclosure. You may share Confidential Information on a "need-to-know" and confidential basis to your financial advisors, lawyers or other agents who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such information with confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those contained under this Agreement. Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available, you agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section by you or your respective representatives and, accordingly, Collective Voice shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief, including injunctive and specific performance, if you or any of your representatives breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Section. Upon termination of this Agreement or Collective Voice's written request, you shall return and/or destroy all Confidential Information under your possession or control, including all copies thereof, and certify such destruction to Collective Voice.

23. Ownership.
"Intellectual Property Rights" mean any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property rights. Creator shall maintain all right, title, and interest in and to the Content, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. Collective Voice and/or its licensors shall maintain all right, title, and interest in and to the Tools, the Program, and all Collective Voice Branding, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. "Collective Voice Branding" means all trademarks, service marks, logos, and other Collective Voice brand elements. The Tools may include widgets or scripts designed to push certain content or services to Properties without the need for a manual update. Such tools may collect information from visitors of Properties, and such data shall be owned by Collective Voice. Any information or data collected by Collective Voice via the Tools shall be the owned by Collective Voice.

24. Creator License.
Creator hereby grants to Collective Voice a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, store, transmit, reproduce, distribute, sublicense, modify, copy, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform and publicly display the Content for any purposes, which include, but are not limited to, use in Collective Voice presentations, marketing materials, proposals, financial reports, search results pages, and referral pages, and syndication on sites, applications or social media channels owned or operated by Collective Voice, Brands, and/or their respective partners. Collective Voice may also syndicate your Content on digital properties of Collective Voice Affiliates, including, without limitation, www.rakuten.com. A "Collective Voice Affiliate" is any entity, whether incorporated or not, that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Collective Voice or is corporate parent, where "control" (or variants of it) means the ability (whether directly or indirectly) to direct the affairs of another by means of ownership, contract, or otherwise. Creator further grants Collective Voice a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use Creator's name(s), images, and likeness(es) and that of any third party incorporated in the Creator Content, if any ("Persona"), trademarks, service marks, logos, and other brand elements for the purpose of promoting the Program and as incorporated in the Content in connection with the licenses granted hereunder. For clarity, such royalty-free license shall include all moral rights related to the Content, if any such rights are recognized, as well as any rights to musical compositions and/or recordings, solely as incorporated in the Content, if at all. For the avoidance of doubt, Creator shall not be responsible for procuring third party licenses for content incorporated into Content solely as made available via the Properties, so long as such rights licenses are covered by such platforms otherwise (for example, as in the case of recorded music available for direct incorporation into social media on Instagram via its direct platform integration tools, for example).

25. Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Collective Voice, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, Brands, and partners (collectively "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all claims, liability, settlements, loss, and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs), brought against any Indemnified Party, arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Tools, (b) the Properties or Content, (c) your breach of any provision of this Agreement, (d) your violation of Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, any FTC Regulations or Data Privacy Laws; and (e) any claim that the Properties or Content infringes on an Intellectual Property Right, privacy right, or publicity right of any third party. You agree to cooperate with Collective Voice in the defense of any claim, and Collective Voice reserves the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense, control, and settlement of any indemnifiable matter under this Agreement.

26. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COLLECTIVE VOICE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, DATA LOSS, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES). COLLECTIVE VOICE'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO USE THE TOOLS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR TWENTY FIVE UNITED STATES DOLLARS.

27. Miscellaneous.

a. Non-Disparagement.
You will not commit any act that would be considered unethical, bring (or if publicly known would bring) you in public disrepute, cause a portion of the community to reflect unfavorably on you, or might insult or offend or cause damage to Collective Voice, any Brand, and a Brand's products or services. You will not engage in any conduct or make any statements that are disparaging to Collective Voice, its Brands, or their respective employees, affiliates, or agents. You also agree that you will not take any action that could be deemed to interfere with Collective Voice's relationship with any Brand or other Creator.

At any time, Brand has a right to request not to be associated with a Creator. Upon written request, you shall promptly remove all Content associated with a specific Brand or modify the Content in such a manner that does not include any references to Brand.
