WHEREAS, Supplier has access to and has the capability to supply individuals who may be target candidates (collectively, “Respondents”) for completion of the interviews/surveys/research studies and Survey Solutions requested by Innovate MR Clients.

NOW THEREFORE the parties, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

1. Non-Exclusive Representation

Innovate MR hereby appoints Supplier as a non-exclusive supplier for the exposure of potential Respondents, via API Solutions or through such other means as are designated in the Supplier Agreement, to the Innovate MR Survey Inventory. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Innovate MR and its authorized representatives shall expose potential Respondents to the Survey Inventory for Supplier invitations to such potential Respondents for paid Survey Solutions and other remunerated targeted marketing offers.

2. Supplier Requirements

2.1. Respondent Inventory. To enable Innovate MR to maximize the quality output to their clientbase, Supplier agrees to put in place reasonable procedural and other safeguards to ensure the quality of Respondent inventory that is allocated for the Innovate MR Surveys. This includes, without limitation, sourcing Respondents for Innovate MR Surveys that are real people who are engaged on the Supplier websites and provide meaningful and accurate responses to Innovate MR Surveys, including without limitation by conducting IP address checks, implementing measures to protect against duplicates, bots, and ghost completes, and implementing on-going procedures for removing low-quality Respondents. Failure of the Supplier to provide quality Respondents (such quality to be determined in the sole discretion of Innovate MR or the Market Research Clients) will result in one or more of the following actions, such actions to be exercised at Innovate MR’s sole absolute discretion: (a) Innovate MR’s immediate right (without any right to cure by Supplier) to terminate this Agreement; (b) forfeiture of any monies due to Supplier related to fraudulent activity with respect to the Innovate MR Survey completions; (c) if Supplier has already been paid in connection with low-quality Respondents, deduction of the corresponding amounts from future invoices (i.e., a credit to Innovate MR on such invoices); and/or (d) if there are no subsequent invoices, a refund by Supplier to Innovate MR for such corresponding amounts. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Innovate MR may exercise the foregoing remedies at any time within six (6) months of a project’s completion, and that such remedies do not exclude or limit any other remedies to which Innovate MR may otherwise be entitled at law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstance shall Innovate MR be obligated to pay Supplier any fees in any way relating to, or arising out of, Respondents that are deemed invalid (in the sole discretion of Innovate MR) in connection with any Innovate MR Surveys.

2.2 Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Supplier shall ensure that the terms of use, privacy policies, and other required notices and consents of the websites listed on the Supplier Agreement (the “Supplier Sites”) abide by all applicable laws, rules and regulations in their applicable jurisdiction(s), including without limitation the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and standards of business ethics then prevailing in the industry, and disclose to Respondents and obtain all rights and permissions necessary for (a) the serving of promotions, (b) the placement of cookies or similar technologies on a Respondent’s device, and (c) the collection, transmission, and sharing of data as described in this Agreement (including without limitation the gathering and use of information from Respondents). Except as required by law and with advance notice to Innovate MR, Supplier will not revise its privacy policies or other applicable data sharing terms in any manner inconsistent with the foregoing. Further, Supplier will provide reasonable commercial notice and access to the details of any Privacy Policy changes.

2.3 User IDs/Passwords/Compliance. Supplier shall be responsible for keeping any user ID and password information provided by Innovate MR in connection with the use of Innovate MR Technology strictly confidential, and shall not share such information with any unauthorized person. Supplier shall be solely responsible for any and all actions taken using Supplier’s accounts and passwords.

Supplier will use commercially reasonable means, as reasonably directed by Innovate MR, to expose Respondents and potential Respondents to Innovate MR Surveys. Supplier will, as applicable, comply with CCPA, GDPR, CAN-SPAM, PIPEDA, applicable cookies legislation in the United Kingdom and the European Union and any and all other international, federal, state and local applicable laws, regulations and rules.

2.4 Non-Circumvention. Supplier agrees that it will not reverse engineer Innovate MR Survey URLs to circumvent Innovate MR and otherwise go directly or indirectly to sell or market to Market Research Clients.

2.5 Non-Solicitation. Supplier agrees that during the Term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter it will not solicit any of Innovate MR’s then-current employees to terminate their employment with Innovate MR or to become employed by any firm, company, or other business enterprise with which the Supplier may then be connected.

2.6 Promotions. All promotions created and delivered by Supplier shall be in compliance with customary promotion guidelines (including, without limitation, that Supplier shall not use leading questions such as stating what type of respondent will qualify or promotions in connection with Objectionable Material) and any other requirements reasonably requested by Innovate MR. In the event that Innovate MR determines, in its sole discretion, that one or more promotions is not in compliance with these aforementioned requirements, then Supplier agrees to remove the non-complaint promotion(s) within one (1) business day of written notice by Innovate MR.

3. Compensation

3.1. Invoicing. Innovate MR will provide Supplier with a report of completes for the applicable month within forty-five (45) days of the last complete delivered. Such reports shall be controlling with respect to the amounts owed to Supplier.

Following download of the report Suppliers who have a dashboard reporting tool agree to log on to the dashboard, confirm the completes for the applicable billing month, and submit an invoice to Innovate MR for those completes no more than sixty (60) days after downloading the report from Innovate MR. If Supplier does not download the report within fourteen (14) days of Innovate MR making it available, or fails to submit an invoice within sixty (60) days of downloading the report, Supplier shall forfeit its right to payment for the applicable billing month.

3.2. Payment Terms. Innovate MR shall pay Supplier its share of Net Revenue (as defined in the Supplier Agreement) within sixty (60) days of receipt of an invoice from Supplier, provided such invoice has been submitted in compliance with Section 3.1 above.

3.3. Taxes. Innovate MR assumes no responsibility for paying income taxes on behalf of Supplier. By participating in the Service, Supplier assumes complete and sole responsibility for any taxes owed as a consequence of participation in the Service. Supplier shall provide Innovate MR with appropriate tax information, including earnings on Form 1099. Suppliers residing in the United States agree to provide their Social Security number or Federal Employee Identification Number to Innovate MR for tax reporting purposes. Such information will be used for no purpose other than for tax reporting purposes. International Suppliers may be asked to complete appropriate forms for tax purposes.

3.4. Adjustments. At the end of the monthly billing period, adjustments may be made to the Supplier payments due to client discrepancies, rate changes, or traffic fraud (including without limitation any chargebacks or deductions for invalid completes) that may be immediately identified or at a later juncture identified by Innovate MR or by Market Research Clients. Innovate MR reserves the right to make any such adjustments up to sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable billing month. These adjustments are calculated and applied to Supplier by Innovate MR at their sole direction.

Licensee shall respect the letter and the spirit of the programmatic limitations of the Innovate MR API and the restrictions of this API Agreement in designing and implementing Licensee Applications. For example, Licensee shall not work around any explicit Innovate MR API limitation using a series of non-API calls, even if such work-arounds are possible by avoiding use of the Innovate MR API. In addition, Licensee shall comply with any limitations on the frequency of access, calls and use of the Innovate MR API as provided to Licensee by Innovate MR from time to time.

w. No Circumvention or Reverse Engineering; Maintenance of Proprietary Notices. Licensee shall not, and shall not attempt to: (i) interfere with, modify or disable any features or functionality of the Innovate MR Services or

Innovate MR API, including, without limitation, any mechanisms used to restrict or control the Innovate MR Services or Innovate MR API, such as anti-circumvention measures; (ii) translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or derive source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, structure or organizational form from the Innovate MR Services or the Licensed Materials; (iii) defeat, avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate or otherwise circumvent any protection mechanisms for the Innovate MR Services or the Licensed Materials; or (iv) remove or modify any proprietary notices, attribution or marks from or delivered as part of the Innovate MR Services or the Licensed Materials.

x. Monitoring. Innovate MR reserves the right to monitor Licensee’s use of the Licensed Materials for any reason or no reason, including to ensure Licensee’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this API Agreement.

4. Modifications

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Innovate MR may modify (including but not limited to updating) this API Agreement, the Innovate MR Services, and the Innovate MR API, from time to time (a “Modification”). Except for modifications of the Innovate MR Services, Licensee will be notified a Modification through notifications or posts on the developer website or through a form of direct communication from Innovate MR to Licensee, including but not limited to e-mail or notifications through the Innovate MR Services. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that the Innovate MR Services and the Licensed Materials may be modified at any time and without any notice to Licensee. Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days from the date of first notice of any Modification(s) (or such shorter period of time specified in the notice of the Modification(s)) comply with such modification(s) by implementing and using the most current version of the Innovate MR API and making any changes to Licensee Applications that may be required as a result of such Modification(s). Licensee acknowledges that a Modification may have an adverse effect on Licensee Applications, including but not limited to changing the manner in which Licensee Applications communicate with Innovate MR Services and display Content. Licensee acknowledges that its sole recourse for such adverse effects is to terminate this API Agreement pursuant to Section 8, and that Licensee’s continued access to or use of the Innovate MR Services or any Licensed Materials following such thirty (30) day period shall constitute binding acceptance of the Modification(s) at issue. Innovate MR will attempt, but is not obligated, to provide thirty (30) days notice of any Modification that is not backwards compatible or that Innovate MR reasonably believes will remove or materially alter significant functionality of the Innovate MR API.

5. Ownership

a. Innovate MR. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Innovate MR and its licensors, particularly its users, retain all worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Materials, including all worldwide intellectual property rights therein.

b. Licensee. As between Licensee and Innovate MR, Licensee retains all worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Licensee Applications, excluding the Innovate MR Services, the Licensed Materials, the Innovate MR Marks, and any derivative works or enhancements thereof, including but not limited to all intellectual property rights therein.

c. Feedback. Licensee may provide Innovate MR with feedback or comments related to the Licensed Material and/or Licensee’s experience with and use thereof (“Feedback”). Licensee agrees that Innovate MR and its designees and assigns shall be free to copy, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, disclose, distribute, license, sublicense, incorporate and otherwise use Feedback, including all derivative works thereto, for any and all purposes, commercial or otherwise, with no obligation of any kind to Licensee.

6. Content

a. Creation of Content. If a Licensee Application allows users to post Content (i.e., to generate material that will be hosted on the Innovate MR Services): (i) Licensee will acquire such user’s affirmative permission to post such Content,

(ii) Licensee must promptly provide such Content to Innovate MR via the Innovate MR Services or the Innovate MR API, as applicable; (iii) Licensee must provide to its users a prominent and clear disclosure detailing how Licensee may use such Content separately from transmitting that Content to the Innovate MR Services and seeking the necessary licenses for Licensee to use such Content as disclosed; (iv) Licensee’s use of Content must adhere to the restrictions set forth in Section 3; (v) Licensee must provide such users prominent access via a URL to the Innovate MR Privacy Policy; and (vi) Licensee may provide Innovate MR with an application identifier that Innovate MR may display in conjunction with the Content.

b. Removal of Content. When Licensee has been notified of such through the Innovate MR API, Licensee will immediately, and in any case not later than twenty-four hours after notification, (including but not limited to by modifying applicable Licensee Applications): (i) delete or remove Content that has been deleted or removed from the Innovate MR Services; (ii) modify Content that has been modified on the Innovate MR Services; and (iii) change Licensee’s treatment of Content that has had its sharing options modified.

7. Privacy

a. Innovate MR User Information. To the extent Licensee has access to and is permitted to use Innovate MR User Information through the Licensed Materials, such access and use shall be in accordance with the then-current Innovate MR Privacy Policy. Licensee shall take efforts to ensure that Innovate MR User Information disclosed in Content, inadvertently or otherwise, is not exploited for improper purposes such as identity theft, fraud or spamming.

b. Licensee User Information. Licensee may collect information relating to users of Licensee Applications (“Licensee Application User Information”). If Licensee collects Licensee Application User Information, it shall provide to users an applicable privacy policy that clearly discloses Licensee’s information collection, storage and sharing practices, including the extent to which such Licensee Application User Information is disclosed to third parties such as Innovate MR. Licensee’s privacy policy must: (i) comply and be consistent with all applicable laws, including but not limited to data protection regulations in applicable territories; (ii) allow disclosure of Licensee Application User Information to Innovate MR, to the extent necessary for Licensee’s use of the Innovate MR API and other Licensed Materials, in accordance with the then-current Innovate MR Privacy Policy; and (iii) be no less protective of applicable end users than the then-current Innovate MR Privacy Policy.

8. Term and Termination; Survival

This API Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. Either party may terminate this API Agreement at any time, for any reason, or for no reason including, but not limited to, if Licensee violates any provision of this API Agreement. Any termination of this API Agreement shall also terminate the licenses granted hereunder. Upon termination of this API Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall cease using, and either return to Innovate MR, or destroy and remove from all computers, hard drives, networks, and other storage media, all copies of the Licensed Materials and any Confidential Information in Licensee’s possession, and shall certify to Innovate MR that such actions have occurred. Sections 3, 5, 6, and 8-10 shall survive termination of this API Agreement.

Licensee will indemnify and hold Innovate MR, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, actions, judgments, costs and expenses brought by a third party arising out of or in connection with: (i) any act or omission by Licensee in connection with Licensee’s use of the Innovate MR Services or the Licensed Materials; (ii) Licensee’s use of the Innovate MR Services or the Licensed Materials other than as expressly allowed by this API Agreement; (iii) Licensee’s breach of this API Agreement, including but not limited to Licensee’s representations and warranties herein; or (iv) any Licensed Application.
