To the extent You embed or post content or other materials in connection with Your profile page[s] on the Site,
You hereby grant CarrierSource and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and fully
sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, adapt, translate, distribute, publish, and publicly display and perform
such content and other materials throughout the world in any media, now known or hereafter devised, in
connection with the Site or applicable sub-licensee’s websites. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted
hereunder, CarrierSource reserves all rights, title, and interest in and to the Site and the Premium Profile
Offerings, including all related intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to You hereunder other than
as expressly set forth herein.
-

CarrierSource hereby grants You a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable license to access

The first payment will be due on the effective date of the applicable Order Form, and each subsequent payment
will be due as specified in that Order Form. The fees are fixed for one calendar year from the initial effective
date of each respective Order Form, but may be modified by CarrierSource thereafter by providing one month’s
prior written notice to You. The fees do not include any taxes You may be required to pay, or CarrierSource may
be required to pay in connection with Your payment, in Your taxing jurisdiction. Payments are due in advance of
the period for which they apply, except as otherwise expressly stated in the relevant Order Form. Unpaid amounts

YOU ON A RECURRING BASIS TO COLLECT ALL FEES DUE UNDER EACH ORDER FORM. YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO
INCUR CHARGES AGAINST THE PAYMENT CARD OR ACCOUNT USED TO PURCHASE THE OFFERINGS. THE FORM OF PAYMENT CANNOT BE
CHANGED OR ALTERED UNLESS ALL AMOUNTS DUE UNDER EACH ORDER FORM HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL OR OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY
CARRIERSOURCE IN WRITING.
-
TERM AND TERMINATION. The term for which You are entitled to receive each of the respective
Offerings shall be as set out in the applicable Order Form for those Offerings ("Offerings Term"). Upon
termination of an Order Form or expiration of the Offerings Term thereof, You shall immediately cease accessing
and using the Offerings subject to that Offerings Term. Upon expiration, an Offerings Term shall automatically
renew for an additional Offerings Term of the same length unless either You provide CarrierSource (via email to
support@carriersource.io), or CarrierSource provides
You, notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the expiring Offerings Term. Additionally,
CarrierSource may terminate some or all the Offerings at any time for any or no reason without liability,
effective immediately, by providing written notice to You. In the event of such a termination, You agree to
immediately pay all unpaid fees for Offerings provided through the date of termination, and CarrierSource agrees
to reimburse You for any fees that You prepaid for Offerings that would have been provided after the effective
date of such termination. Termination or expiration of an Order Form shall not extinguish any of Your or
CarrierSource's obligations under this Agreement that, by their nature, continue after the date of termination
or expiration, including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay any unpaid but due fees.
-
DEFAULTS. Either party may terminate this Agreement, any or all Order Forms governed by this
Agreement, and all rights granted hereunder for cause upon ten (10) days’ written notice if the other party
materially breaches this Agreement, including the Order Forms hereto, and fails to cure the breach within the
ten-day notice period. A material breach under this Section 5 includes, but is not limited to, failure to pay
the applicable fees when due. Material breaches that are not susceptible to cure, such as breach of Section 1
and/or Section 6 hereof, shall give rise to immediate termination upon notice, without the opportunity for cure.
-
MODIFICATIONS. The licenses granted hereunder do not include the right to modify or create
derivative works based upon the Offerings. You may not in any way modify, change, alter, or create derivatives
works based upon the Offerings. You may not use the Offerings for any purpose that violates applicable law or
regulation or that is not expressly authorized under this Agreement and/or an Order Form.
-
ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder,
whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be
unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that CarrierSource may assign this Agreement and all Order Form(s)
hereunder in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale of voting securities, transfer of a
majority of its assets to which this Agreement relates, or other similar transaction or series of transactions
to party that is not Your direct competitor. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and each Order Form shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted assigns.
-
CONFIDENTIALITY. As used herein, "Confidential Information" means all confidential information
disclosed by a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether electronically,
orally, or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be
confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information
of CarrierSource includes this Agreement and each Order Form as well as any contact or other information of Site
users and visitors provided to You as part of the Offerings. Confidential Information does not include any
information that (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the
Disclosing Party, (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without
breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (c) is received from a third party without breach of any
obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without
reference to, or reliance upon, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Except as otherwise
permitted in writing by the Disclosing Party, (i) the Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it
uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than
reasonable care) not to disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose
outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) the Receiving Party shall limit access to Confidential Information
of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees, contractors, and agents who need such access for purposes
consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party
containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Without limiting the foregoing, CarrierSource may
also provide access to Your Confidential Information to those of Your employees, contractors, and agents who You
permit to use and manage Your use of the Offerings. CarrierSource's collection and use of personal data in
connection with the Site and Offerings is governed by CarrierSource's Privacy Policy,
available here, which is

property rights or privacy or publicity rights) or which may encourage a criminal offense or otherwise give rise
to civil liability, and (c) comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including all applicable privacy /
data protection laws and regulations and laws related to Promotions). "Promotions" are any contest, sweepstakes,

CarrierSource’s prior written consent. All rights not expressly granted to You hereunder are reserved by
CarrierSource.
-
USE OF THE SITE. The Site allows users to post reviews about products and/or services like

enable You to influence Your rating or to directly or indirectly remove, alter, or reorder the reviews on the
Site. Additionally, CARRIERSOURCE DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM CARRIERSOURCE’S ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT ON
YOUR BEHALF IN ORDER TO MAKE CHANGES OR POST INFORMATION TO THE SITE IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ("YOUR
