This Partner Program Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into by and between
Exodus Strong (" Exodus Strong" or "we"), and the party submitting an application to become a Exodus
Strong partner (“Partner”). The Exodus Strong Terms & Conditions contained in this Agreement apply
to Partner's participation with partners.exodusstrong.com ("Partner Program"). In connection with
the Partner Program, Partner may see offers (each, an “Offer”) by Exodus Strong or a third party
(each such third party a "Client") that may link to a specific web site for that particular Offer
("Program Web Site"). Furthermore, each Offer may have additional terms that are incorporated as
part of this Agreement. By submitting an application or participating in an Offer, Partner expressly
consents to all the Exodus Strong Terms & Conditions of this Agreement and the individual accepting
this Agreement represents that he or she has the authority to bind the Partner to the terms of this
Agreement.
Enrollment in the Partner Program
Partner must submit an Partner Program application from Exodus Strong's website. Partner must
provide accurate and complete information in Partner's application. After Exodus Strong reviews
Partner's application, Exodus Strong will notify Partner of Partner's acceptance or rejection to the
Partner Program. Exodus Strong may accept or reject Partner's application at Exodus Strong's sole
discretion for any reason.
Obligations of the Parties
Subject to Exodus Strong's acceptance of Partner as an partner and Partner's continued compliance
with the Exodus Strong Terms & Conditions of this Agreement, Exodus Strong agrees as follows:
-
Exodus Strong will make available to Partner via the Partner Program graphic and textual links to
the Program Web Site and/or other creative materials (collectively, the "Links") which Partner may
display on web sites owned or controlled by Partner, in emails sent by Partner and in online
advertisements (collectively, "Media"). The Links will serve to identify Partner as a member of QE
Strong's Partner Program and will establish a link from Partner's Media to the Program Web Site.
-
Exodus Strong will pay Partner for each Qualified Action (the "Commission"). A "Qualified Action"
means an individual person who (i) accesses the Program Web Site via the Link, where the Link is
the last link to the Program Web Site, (ii) is not a computer generated user, such as a robot,
spider, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method to appear like an
individual, real live person (as determined by Exodus Strong), (iii) is not using pre-populated
fields, (iv) completes all of the information required for such action within the time period
allowed by Exodus Strong, and (v) is not later determined by Exodus Strong to be fraudulent,
incomplete, unqualified or a duplicate user.
-
Exodus Strong will pay Partner any Commissions earned on a monthly basis, provided that the total
Commissions Exodus Strong owes you is greater than $. Accounts with a balance of less than $ will
roll over to the next month and will continue to roll over monthly until the $ minimum is reached.
QE Strong reserves the right to charge back to Partner's account any previously paid Qualified
Actions that are later determined to have not met the requirements to be a Qualified Action.
-
Payment for Commissions is dependent upon Clients providing such funds to Exodus Strong, and
therefore, Partner agrees that Exodus Strong shall only be liable to Partner for Commissions to
the extent that Exodus Strong has received such funds from the Clients.
-
Exodus Strong shall automatically generate an invoice on behalf of Partner for all Commissions
payable under this Agreement and shall remit payment to Partner based upon that invoice. All
tracking of Links and determinations of Qualifed Actions and Commissions shall be made by Exodus
Strong in its sole discretion. In the event that Partner disputes in good faith any portion of an
invoice, Partner must submit that dispute to Exodus Strong in writing and in sufficient detail
within thirty (30) days of the date on the invoice. If Partner does not dispute the invoice as set
forth herein, then Partner agrees that it irrevocably waives any claims or challenges based upon
that invoice. In the event that Partner is also tracking Qualified Actions and Partner claims a
discrepancy, Partner must provide Exodus Strong with Partner's reports within three (3) days after
30th day of the calendar month, and if Exodus Strong's and Partner's reported statistics vary by
more than 10% and QE Strong reasonably determines that Partner has used generally accepted
industry methods to track Qualified Actions, then Exodus Strong and Partner agree to make a good
faith effort to arrive at a reconciliation. If the parties are unable to arrive at a
reconciliation, then Exodus Strong's numbers shall govern.
-
If Partner has an outstanding balance due to Exodus Strong under this Agreement or any other
agreement between the Partner and Exodus Strong, whether or not related to the Partner Program,
Partner agrees that Exodus Strong may offset any such amounts due to Exodus Strong from amounts
payable to Partner under this Agreement.
Partner also agrees that:
-
It has sole responsibility for the development, operation, and maintenance of, and all content on
or linked to, the Media.
-
All materials posted on the Media or otherwise used in connection with the Partner Program (i) are
not illegal, (ii) do not infringe upon the intellectual property or personal rights of any third
party, and (iii) do not contain or link to any material which is harmful, threatening, defamatory,
obscene, sexually explicit, harassing, promotes violence, promotes discrimination (whether based
on sex, religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability or age), promotes illegal activities
(such as gambling), contains profanity or otherwise contains materials that Exodus Strong informs
Partner that it considers objectionable (collectively, "Objectionable Content").
-
It will not make any representations, warranties or other statements concerning Exodus Strong or
Client or any of their respective products or services, except as expressly authorized herein.
-
The Media does not copy or resemble the look and feel of the Program Web Site or create the
impression that the Media is endorsed by Exodus Strong or Clients or a part of the Program Web
Site, without prior written permission from Exodus Strong.
-
It will comply with all (i) obligations, requirements and restrictions under this Agreement and
(ii) laws, rules and regulations as they relate to its business, its Media or its use of the
Links.

used by Partner in connection with the Partner Program, including but not limited to, email
providers, social networking services and ad networks.

It will always prominently post and make available to end-users, including prior to the collection
of any personally identifiable information, a privacy policy in compliance with all applicable
laws that clearly and thoroughly discloses all information collection, use and sharing practices,
including providing for the collection of such personally identifiable information in connection
with the Partner Program and the provision of such personally identifiable information to QE

The following additional program-specific terms shall apply to any promotional programs set forth
below:
-
Email Campaigns. For all email campaigns, Partner must download the "Suppression List" from the
Offers section of Exodus Strong. Partner shall filter its email list by removing any entries
appearing on the Suppression List and will only send emails to the remaining addresses on its
email list. QE Strong will provide an opt-out method in all Links, however, if any opt-out
requests come directly to Partner, Partner shall immediately forward them to Exodus Strong at
partners@exodusstrong.com. Partner's emails containing the Links may not include any content other
than the Links, except as required by applicable law.
-
Partner agrees that failure to download the Suppression List and remove all emails from the
database before mailing may result in Commission withholdings, removal or suspension from all or
part of the Partner Program, possible legal action and any other rights or remedies available to
Exodus Strong pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Partner further agrees that it will not
mail or market to any suppression files generated through the Exodus Strong network, and that
doing so may result in Commission withholdings, removal or suspension from the Partner Program,
possible legal action and any other rights or remedies available to Exodus Strong pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise.
-
Advertising Campaigns. No Links can appear to be associated with or be positioned on chat rooms or
message or bulletin boards unless otherwise agreed by Exodus Strong in writing. Any pop-ups/unders
used for the Partner Program shall be clearly identified as being served by Partner in the title
bar of the window and any client-side ad serving software used by Partner shall only have been
installed on an end-user's computer if the function of the software is clearly disclosed to
end-users prior to installation, the installation is pursuant to an affirmatively accepted and
plain-English end user license agreement and the software be easily removed according to generally
accepted methods.
-
Partner Network Campaigns. For all Partners that maintain their own partner networks, Partner
agrees to place the Links in its partner network (the "Partner Network") for access and use by
those partners in the Partner Network (each a "Third Party Partner"). Partner agrees that it will
expressly forbid any Third Party Partner to modify the Links in any way. Partner agrees to
maintain its Partner Network according to the highest industry standards. Partner shall not permit
any party to be a Third Party Partner whose web site or business model involves content containing
Objectionable Content. All Third Party Partners must be in good standing with Partner. Partner
must require and confirm that all Third Party Partners affirmatively accept, through verifiable
means, the terms of this Agreement prior to obtaining access to the Links. Partner shall promptly
terminate any Third Party Partner who takes, or could reasonably be expected to take, any action
that violates the Exodus Strong Terms & Conditions of this Agreement. In the event that either
party suspects any wrongdoing by a Third Party Partner with respect to the Links, Partner shall
promptly disclose to Exodus Strong the identity and contact information for such Third Party
Partner. Partner shall promptly remove any Third Party Partner from the Partner Program and
terminate their access to future Offers of Exodus Strong in the Partner Network upon written
notice from Exodus Strong. Partner shall remain liable for all acts or omissions of any Third
Party Partner.
Confidentiality
For purposes of the Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean all data and information, of a
confidential nature or otherwise, disclosed during the term of the Agreement by one party
("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), as well as information that the
Receiving Party knows or should know that the Disclosing Party regards as confidential including,
but not limited to:

- any information marked or designated by the Disclosing Party as confidential.
The Receiving Party agrees to hold all Confidential Information in trust and confidence and, except
as may be authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, shall not use such Confidential Information
for any purpose other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement or disclose any Confidential
Information to any person, company or entity, except to those of its employees and professional
advisers:
-
who need to know such information in order for the Receiving Party to perform its obligations
hereunder;
-
who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Receiving Party with terms at least as
restrictive as those set forth herein.

-
was independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information;
-
was disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party legally in possession of such Confidential
Information and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party.
The Receiving Party agrees that monetary damages for breach of confidentiality may not be adequate
and that the disclosing party shall be further entitled to injunctive relief, without the
requirement to post bond.
Limited License & Intellectual Property
Partner may not alter, modify, manipulate or create derivative works of the Links or any Exodus
Strong graphics, creative, copy or other materials owned by, or licensed to, Exodus Strong in any
way. Partner is only entitled to use the Links to the extent that Partner is a member in good
standing of the Partner Program. Exodus Strong may revoke Partner's license any time by giving
Partner written notice. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended to
grant Partner any rights to any of Exodus Strong's trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents or
trade secrets. Partner agrees that Exodus Strong may use any suggestion, comment or recommendation
Partner chooses to provide to Exodus Strong without compensation for any purpose. All rights not
expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Exodus Strong.
Termination
This Agreement shall commence on the date of Exodus Strong's approval of Partner's Partner Program
application and shall continue thereafter until terminated as provided herein. Partner may terminate
Partner's participation in the Partner Program at any time by removing all Links from Partner's
Media and deleting all copies of the Links. Exodus Strong may terminate Partner's participation in
one or more Offers or this Agreement at any time and for any reason which Exodus Strong deem
appropriate with or without prior notice to Partner by disabling the Links or providing Partner with
a written notice. Upon termination of Partner's participation in one or more Offers or this
Agreement for any reason, Partner will immediately cease all use of and delete all Links, plus all
Exodus Strong or Client intellectual property, and will cease representing yourself as a Exodus
Strong or Client partner for such one or more Offers. All rights to validly accrued payments, causes
of action and any provisions, which by their terms are intended to survive termination, shall
survive any termination.
Suspension
In addition to any other rights and remedies available to Exodus Strong under this Agreement Exodus
Strong reserves the right to delete any actions submitted through Partner's Links and withhold and
freeze any unpaid Commissions or charge back paid Commissions to Partner's account if (i) Exodus
Strong determines that Partner has violated this Agreement, (ii) Exodus Strong receives any
complaints about Partner's participation in the Partner Program which Exodus Strong reasonably
believes is in violation this Agreement or (iii) any Qualified Action is later determined to have
not met the requirements set forth in this Agreement or on the Partner Program. Such withholding or
freezing of Commissions, or charge backs for paid Commissions, shall be without regard as to whether
or not such Commissions were earned as a result of such breach. In the event of a material breach of
this Agreement, QE Strong reserves the right to disclose Partner's identity and contact information
to appropriate law enforcement or regulatory authorities or any third party that has been directly
damaged by Partner's actions. Such suspension will be in addition to Exodus Strong's available
rights and remedies.

Partner must strictly comply with the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (the "Act"). All emails sent in
connection with the Partner Program must include the appropriate party's opt-out link. From time to
time, Exodus Strong may request - prior to Partner's sending emails containing linking or
referencing the Partner Program that Partner submit the final version of Partner's email to Exodus
Strong for approval by sending it to Partner's Exodus Strong representative and upon receiving
written approval from Exodus Strong of Partner's email the email may be transmitted to third
parties.
It is solely Partner's obligation to ensure that the email complies with the Act. Partner agrees not
to rely upon Exodus Strong's approval of Partner's email for compliance with the Act or assert any
claim that Partner are in compliance with the Act based upon Exodus Strong's approval.
Fraud
Partner is expressly prohibited from using any persons, means, devices or arrangements to commit
fraud, violate any applicable law, interfere with other partners or falsify information in
connection with referrals through the Links or the generation of Commissions or exceed Partner's
permitted access to the Partner Program. Such acts include, but are in no way limited to, using
automated means to increase the number of clicks through the Links or completion of any required

GDPR Data Processing Addendum
This General Data Protection Regulation Data Processing Addendum ("GDPR Addendum") is incorporated
by reference into the Partner Program Operating Agreement by and between You (“Partner”), and Us
(“Network” or Processor”), (collectively, the "Agreement"). This GDPR Addendum is entered into as of
the date of the Partner Program Operating Agreement.
This GDPR Addendum sets out the terms that apply when Personal Data, as defined in the Data
Protection Legislation, is processed by Network under the Agreement. The purpose of the GDPR
Addendum is to ensure such processing is conducted in accordance with applicable laws, including EU
Data Protection Legislation, and with due respect for the rights and freedoms of individuals whose
Personal Data are processed.
DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this GDPR Addendum have the same meanings as set out in
the Agreement.
Data Protection Legislation: (i) unless and until the GDPR is no longer directly applicable in the
UK, the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) and any national implementing laws,
regulations and secondary legislation, as amended or updated from time to time, in the UK and then
(ii) any successor legislation to the GDPR or the Data Protection Act 1998.
Applicability
Applicability. This GDPR Addendum shall only apply to the extent Partner is established within the
European Union (“EU”) or Switzerland or the United Kingdom and/or to the extent Network processes
Personal Data of Data Subjects located in the EU or Switzerland or the United Kingdom on behalf of
Partner.
Data Protection
Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This
Section 1 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party's obligations under
the Data Protection Legislation.
The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, the Partner is the
data controller and Network is the data processor (where Data Controller and Data Processor have the
meanings as defined in the Data Protection Legislation).
Without prejudice to the generality of clause 1.1, Network shall, in relation to any Personal Data
processed in connection with the performance by Network of its obligations under this agreement:
-
process that Personal Data only for the purposes set forth in the Agreement and Schedule 1 and
only in accordance with the lawful, documented instructions of Partner, except where otherwise
required by applicable law. Any processing required outside of the scope of these instructions
(inclusive of the rights and obligations set forth under the Agreement) will require prior written
agreement of the parties. Where Network is relying on laws of a member of the EU or EU law as the
basis for processing Personal Data, Network shall promptly notify the Partner of this before
performing the processing required by the Applicable Laws unless those Applicable Laws prohibit
Network from so notifying the Partner;
-
ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organizational measures, available for
review and approval by the Partner, to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of
Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data,
appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorized or unlawful processing or
accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard
to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those
measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting Personal Data, ensuring
confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that
availability of and access to Personal Data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident,
and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organizational
measures adopted by it);
-
ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process Personal Data are obliged to keep the
Personal Data confidential; and Network complies with its obligations under the Data Protection
Legislation by providing an adequate level of protection to any Personal Data that is transferred;
-
assist the Partner, at the Partner's cost, in responding to any request from a Data Subject and in
ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to
security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities
or regulators. For the avoidance of doubt, Partner is responsible for responding to Data Subject
request for access, correction, restriction, objection, erasure or data portability of that Data
Subject's Personal Data;
- notify the Partner without undue delay on becoming aware of a Personal Data breach;
-
upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and
within a reasonable amount of time, delete or make available to Partner for retrieval all relevant
Personal Data in Network's possession; except to the extent that Network is required by any
applicable law to retain some or all of such data. Network shall extend the protections of the
Agreement and this GDPR Addendum to any such Personal Data and limit any further processing of
such Personal Data to only those limited purposes that require the retention;
-
maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this
Section 2.4.
The Partner consents to Network appointing third-party processors of Personal Data under this
agreement, including TUNE (“Sub-processors”). Network confirms that it has entered or (as the case
may be) will enter with the third-party processor into a written agreement substantially similar to
those set out in this Agreement. As between the Partner and Network, Network shall remain fully
liable for all acts or omissions of any Sub-processor appointed by it pursuant to this Section 2.5.
Network may, at any time on not less than 30 days' notice with email sufficing, add or make changes
to the Sub-processors. Partner may object in writing to Network's appointment of a new Sub-processor
within five (5) business days of such notice, provided that such objection is based on reasonable
grounds relating to data protection. In such event, the parties will discuss such concerns in good
faith with a view to achieving resolution. If Network cannot provide an alternative Sub-processor,
or the parties are not otherwise able to achieve resolution as provided in the preceding sentence,
Partner, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate the Agreement.
Miscellaneous
Except as stated in this GDPR Addendum, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If there
is a conflict between the Agreement and this GDPR Addendum, the terms of this GDPR Addendum will
control.
Any claims brought under this GDPR Addendum shall be subject to the Exodus Strong Terms &
Conditions, including by not limited to, the exclusion and limitations set forth in the Agreement.
