This Partner Program Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") is
made and entered into by and between Leadstead Inc ("Leadstead Inc" or "we"), and the party submitting
an application to become a Leadstead Inc partner (“Partner”). The terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement apply to Partner's participation with ldsted2k19.hasoffers.com
("Partner Program"). In connection with the Partner Program, Partner may
see offers (each, an “Offer”) by Leadstead Inc 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 terms and
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 Leadstead Inc's
website. Partner must provide accurate and complete information in
Partner's application. After Leadstead Inc reviews Partner's application, Leadstead Inc will
notify Partner of Partner's acceptance or rejection to the Partner
Program. Leadstead Inc may accept or reject Partner's application at Leadstead Inc's sole
discretion for any reason.
Obligations of the Parties
Subject to Leadstead Inc's acceptance of Partner as an partner and
Partner's continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Leadstead Inc agrees as follows:
-
Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc's Partner Program and will
establish a link from Partner's Media to the Program Web Site.
-
Leadstead Inc 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
Leadstead Inc), (iii) is not using pre-populated fields, (iv) completes all of the
information required for such action within the time period allowed by
Leadstead Inc, and (v) is not later determined by Leadstead Inc to be fraudulent, incomplete,
unqualified or a duplicate user.
-
Leadstead Inc will pay Partner any Commissions earned on a monthly
basis, provided that the total Commissions Leadstead Inc owes you is greater than $50.
Accounts with a balance of less than $50 will roll over to the next month
and will continue to roll over monthly until the $50 minimum is reached. Leadstead Inc
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 Leadstead Inc, and therefore, Partner agrees that Leadstead Inc shall only be
liable to Partner for Commissions to the extent that Leadstead Inc has received such
funds from the Clients.
-
Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc in
its sole discretion. In the event that Partner disputes in good faith any
portion of an invoice, Partner must submit that dispute to Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc with
Partner's reports within three (3) days after 30th day of the calendar
month, and if Leadstead Inc's and Partner's reported statistics vary by more than
10% and Leadstead Inc reasonably determines that Partner has used generally
accepted industry methods to track Qualified Actions, then Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc's numbers shall
govern.
-
If Partner has an outstanding balance due to Leadstead Inc under this
Agreement or any other agreement between the Partner and Leadstead Inc, whether or
not related to the Partner Program, Partner agrees that Leadstead Inc may offset
any such amounts due to Leadstead Inc 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
Leadstead Inc informs Partner that it considers objectionable (collectively,
"Objectionable Content").
-
It will not make any representations, warranties or other
statements concerning Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc
or Clients or a part of the Program Web Site, without prior written
permission from Leadstead Inc.
-
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.
-
It will comply with the terms, conditions, guidelines and
policies of any third-party services 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 Leadstead Inc and Clients for
use as intended by Leadstead Inc and Clients.
-
It will always prominently post and make available to end-users
any terms and conditions in connection with the Offer set forth by Leadstead Inc or
Client, or as required by applicable laws regarding such Offers.
-
It will not place Leadstead Inc ads on any online auction platform (i.e.
eBay, Amazon, etc).
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 Leadstead Inc. 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. Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc at contact@leadstead.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 Leadstead Inc pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise. Partner further agrees that it will not
mail or market to any suppression files generated through the Leadstead Inc
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 Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc 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
terms and 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 Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc in the Partner Network upon written notice
from Leadstead Inc. 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:
-
a party's business plans, strategies, know how, marketing

media or format;
-
the material terms of the Agreement; and
-
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; and
-
who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the
Receiving Party with terms at least as restrictive as those set forth
herein.
Confidential information shall not include any information that the
Receiving Party can verify with substantial proof that:
-
is generally available to or known to the public through no
wrongful act of the receiving party;
-
was independently developed by the Receiving Party without
the use of Confidential Information; or
-
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 Leadstead Inc graphics, creative, copy or other
materials owned by, or licensed to, Leadstead Inc 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. Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc's trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents or trade secrets.
Partner agrees that Leadstead Inc may use any suggestion, comment or recommendation
Partner chooses to provide to Leadstead Inc without compensation for any purpose. All
rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Leadstead Inc.
Termination
This Agreement shall commence on the date of Leadstead Inc'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. Leadstead Inc may terminate
Partner's participation in one or more Offers or this Agreement at any time
and for any reason which Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc or Client intellectual property, and will cease

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 Leadstead Inc under
this Agreement Leadstead Inc 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) Leadstead Inc determines that Partner has
violated this Agreement, (ii) Leadstead Inc receives any complaints about Partner's
participation in the Partner Program which Leadstead Inc 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, Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc's available rights and remedies.
Anti-Spam Policy
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, Leadstead Inc may request

Partner Program that Partner submit the final version of Partner's email
to Leadstead Inc for approval by sending it to Partner's Leadstead Inc representative and upon
receiving written approval from Leadstead Inc 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 Leadstead Inc'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 Leadstead Inc'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

limited to, using automated means to increase the number of clicks through the

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, the Partner,
as Controller, shall be responsible for ensuring that, in connection with
Partner Personal Data and the Services, (i) it has complied, and will continue
to comply, with all applicable laws relating to privacy and data protection,
including EU Data Protection Legislation; and (ii) it has, and will continue to
have, the right to transfer, or provide access to, the Personal Data to Network
for processing in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and this GDPR
Addendum.
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; and
-
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
terms and conditions, including by not limited to, the exclusion and limitations
set forth in the Agreement.
