Section 2: R4U OFFERS MERCHANT ACCOUNT

2.1 Merchant Account. In order to use certain services, you are required to be registered for a special account on the R4U Offers Site (your “Merchant Account”). Your Merchant Account will facilitate your use of various R4U Offers services and will allow you to provide and receive current and accurate, contact and other information pertaining to your relationship with us. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Merchant Account password, and are responsible for all activities that occur under such account. You agree to immediately notify R4U Offers of any unauthorized use of your password or Merchant Account or any other breach of security related to the R4U Offers Site. R4U Offers is not and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 2.1. In addition to the other rights set forth herein, R4U Offers reserves the right to refuse service and/or access to the R4U Offers Site to you or any other merchant at any time without notice for any reason. When using your Merchant Account and the R4U Offers Site to submit and manage other deals, you will be required to accept and comply with certain terms and conditions applicable to merchants. R4U Offers may offer certain optional features or functionalities within your Merchant Account. If you choose to use such features, then you may be required to agree to separate terms that are specific to those features that will be disclosed and available at the time you elect any such option. You represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and have full power, capacity and authority to accept these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of your employer or another entity, you represent that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such entity to these Terms. If you don’t have the legal authority to bind your entity, please ensure that only an authorized person from your organization consents to, and accepts, these Terms.

2.2 Merchant Center. The Merchant Center is the section of your Merchant Account (in contrast to any individual user account you may maintain) where you as a business owner may directly, or indirectly through an authorized employee or representative, access your business profile and information about past offers that have run through the Program and manage your offers by tracking voucher redemption. Within your business profile, you

2

Page 3: R4U_merchant_account_terms_and_conditions

can add or edit information about your business including locations, reviews, social media links, pictures, questionnaire and addresses to which R4U Offers should send payments. You may use your Merchant Account to submit request to launch a new Program offer and suspend or stop a particular Active Offer. You may also review analytics and statistics for your Offers and view all Program offers in any status. Within the redemption section of your Merchant Account, you can submit voucher redemption data for your Offers and download customerlists.

Section 3: PROGRAM PARTICIPATION AND YOUR OFFER

3.1 Creation of Offers. By electing to participate in a Program, you shall define the conditions of, and supply the content and images to describe and illustrate, your Offer and its terms, by completing and submitting a DR through your Merchant Account. Your submission of a DR does not obligate R4U Offers to accept to the DR or to promote the Offer, and is not binding on R4U Offers until R4U Offers actually promotes the Offer on the R4U Offers Site. At the point R4U Offers begins to promote your Offer to the public, the Sales Period begins and the Offer becomes an “Active Offer” during such Sales Period. You are responsible and liable for all Offer content and terms, and for R4U Offers’s or any purchaser’s use or reliance on any of the foregoing. In creating your Offer, you may not: (a) offer to sell any goods or services on terms or in a manner that is prohibited by law from being offered or advertised; (b) include any content that violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others; or (c) include any material that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable, which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any Law.

3.2 Promotion of Offers. If R4U Offers accepts your DR, R4U Offers will promote the Offer using any method and through any medium that R4U Offers deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including through e-mail, mobile applications and any other type of electronic interface or distribution channel owned, controlled or operated by R4U Offers. R4U Offers further reserves the right, but has no obligation, to promote the Offer through its affiliates and third party business partners from time to time. R4U Offers will promote your Offer to R4U Offers customers and potential customers based on geographic or other geolocational data, but will determine the customers and potential customers to whom your Offer is actually promoted and made available in its sole discretion. If you indicate a maximum number of vouchers in the DR, R4U Offers will stop promoting your Offer once such maximum is reached.

3.3 Distribution of Vouchers. Once R4U Offers has received payment from a purchaser

3

Page 4: R4U_merchant_account_terms_and_conditions

of the amount paid, R4U Offers will authorize for use, and make a voucher available to, the purchaser of your Offer (or will distribute it to a designated transferee on behalf of the purchaser, if any is designated at the time of purchase). The vouchers will include any restrictions or limitations on the use of the voucher you have specified in the DR. Purchasers, or their authorized transferees, may then redeem the Offer by presenting their Vouchers to you as printed certificates, through their mobile devices, or any other media that R4U Offers has adopted for voucher redemption.

3.4 Responsibility for Offer and Vouchers. You acknowledge that you are the exclusive seller of your Offer and the issuer of the vouchers. You also are responsible and liable for: (a) the decision to make your Offer available through the R4U Offers services; (b) fulfilling your Offer with respect to all voucher holders; and (c) supplying all goods and/or services specified in the Offer.

3.5 Redemption Obligations. You shall comply with your obligations specified in these Terms, the DR and other obligations regarding the use of your Merchant Account. In addition, when redeeming vouchers, you shall: (a) honor the vouchers during the time period specified on, pursuant to the terms of, your Offer, and as required under applicable law(s); (b) for all vouchers issued under the Stores Program, log the voucher redemption into the R4U Offers system using one of the methods R4U Offers makes available to you within thirty (30) days of the voucher’s Promotional Value Expiration Date (if any); (c) handle all customer service in connection with the redemption and use of the vouchers; (d) honor any voucher presented by an individual, even if that individual was not the purchaser, unless (i) otherwise specified in the Fine Print (as defined below) or otherwise stated prominently on the face of the voucher or, (ii) you reasonably believe that individual obtained the voucher in an unauthorized or illegal manner, in which case you shall immediately contact R4U Offers and explain the circumstances; and (e) comply with the terms and conditions stated on the voucher without modification and without imposing any restrictions or additional charges or penalties that are not expressly stated on the voucher. You shall specify all generally applicable policies (e.g., cancellation policies that apply to all customers), restrictions and contractual arrangements (e.g., liability waivers required for all customers) applicable to the Offer (“Fine Print”) in the DR, and R4U Offers shall have no liability for your failure to do so.

3.6 Expiration Periods. (a) Now! Program. You shall allow voucher holders to redeem any valid vouchers for the Full Offer Value until the promotion’s stated date and time of expiration. You shall further allow voucher holders to redeem any valid Now! vouchers for 24 hours after the underlying promotion time and date by: (a) continuing to redeem vouchers for the Full Offer Value as though the Full Offer Value has not yet expired or (b)

4

Page 5: R4U_merchant_account_terms_and_conditions

redeeming the vouchers for your goods and/or services valued for the amount paid. R4U Offers will refund the amount paid to the purchasers of vouchers who have not printed or viewed a mobile version of their voucher 24 hours after the Promotional Value Expiration. (b) Stores Program; You shall allow voucher holders to redeem any valid vouchers for the Full Offer Value until the voucher’s stated Promotional Value Expiration unless the Laws require a longer period. For any voucher presented after such voucher’s applicable Promotional Value Expiration, you must continue to indefinitely honor the vouchers by: (a) continuing to redeem vouchers for the Full Offer Value as though the Full Offer Value has not yet expired or (b) redeeming the vouchers for your goods and/or services valued for the amount paid. For vouchers issued through the R4U Offers Now! Program, following the Promotional Value Expiration of such vouchers, R4U Offers will refund the amount paid to the purchasers of vouchers who have not printed or viewed a mobile version of their voucher 24 hours after the Promotional Value Expiration.

3.7 Redemption Reporting and Recognition Periods. (a) For Now! Program offers: All vouchers issued but not printed or viewed in a mobile format within 24 hours following the expiration of an applicable Now! voucher’s Promotional Value Expiration (“Now! voucher use period”) will be deactivated by R4U Offers and all purchasers of the offer will be automatically refunded. Any Now! vouchers redeemed by you after the Now! voucher use period are “Unauthorized Redemptions”. Unauthorized Redemptions are your sole responsibility. You may not report redemption data for Unauthorized Redemptions, and R4U Offers will not pay you for Unauthorized Redemptions. (b) For Stores Program offers: You shall accurately report redemption data for all redeemed vouchers to R4U Offers within thirty (30) days after the vouchers’ Promotional Value Expiration Date (the “Redemption Reporting Period”). All vouchers issued but not reported by you during the Redemption Reporting Period (“Unredeemed Stores vouchers”) will be deactivated. Once the Redemption Reporting Period has passed, you may not alter your report. Beginning the day following, and extending for a period of up to thirty (30) days following the vouchers’ Promotional Value Expiration, R4U Offers will automatically refund purchasers of Unredeemed vouchers the amount paid of Unredeemed vouchers to the customers holding such vouchers. Any vouchers redeemed by you after the Redemption Reporting Period are Unauthorized Redemptions. Unauthorized Redemptions are your sole responsibility. You may not report redemption data for Unauthorized Redemptions, and R4U Offers will not pay you for Unauthorized Redemptions.

3.8 Your Third Party Merchants. You may subcontract or delegate portions of your performances required by these Terms with respect to a particular Offer to a third party (each, a “Third Party Merchant”). If you subcontract or delegate to Third Party Merchants with respect to fulfilling such Offer, you will remain solely responsible and liable for (a) all

5

Page 6: R4U_merchant_account_terms_and_conditions

your obligations, including financial obligations, under these Terms and (b) all acts and omissions of your Third Party Merchants. You shall require your Third Party Merchants to comply with all applicable restrictions and obligations imposed on you under these Terms, and you will be solely responsible for your financial and contractual relationship with your Third Party Merchants.

3.9 License to Your Content. You hereby grant R4U Offers a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, irrevocable, perpetual and sub-licensable license to use, copy, distribute, display and perform any trademarks, photographs, graphics, artwork, videos, sound clips, text, and other content or materials that you provide to R4U Offers in your Merchant Account or otherwise use to describe your Offer (“your Content”) in any and all media or formats in connection with R4U Offers’s fulfillment of its rights and obligations under these Terms, including the promotion of Offers and distribution of vouchers.

3.10 Acknowledgement of Strategic Sales Activity. Unless you specifically notify R4U Offers in writing otherwise, if you participate in the R4U Offers Now! Program, R4U Offers may make your Offer available on the R4U Offers Site during a Sales Period for an amount paid that is less than the amount paid you establish in your DR. If R4U Offers elects to promote your Offer to customers at any price that is less than the price you established, R4U Offers will: (i) calculate the Now! Aggregate Net Amount using the value established by you; (ii) only promote a certain number of units at that reduced price, (iii) in no case make more than any maximum number of units available, and (iv) not make your Offer available on the R4U Offers Site at two different prices at the same time.

3.11 Press Release. R4U Offers may, in its sole discretion, include you in any press release regarding the Offers described herein or identify you as a merchant.

Section 4: PAYMENT TERMS

4.1 Generally. Payment terms governing your Offer are as set forth below, unless you have a separate written agreement with R4U Offers expressly modifying the terms of your payment under a particular Program. Payment terms for any non-Programs Offers are contained in the applicable contract you entered with R4U Offers by accepting the terms and conditions governing your Merchant Account or otherwise.

4.2 Now! Payment Terms. For each Now! voucher that is printed or viewed in a mobile format and not refunded by R4U Offers within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable Now! deal’s promotional value expiration (each, a “Now Validated Redemption”), you will be paid an amount equal to: the amount paid, less a per-voucher promotion and

6

Page 7: R4U_merchant_account_terms_and_conditions

distribution fee of twenty percent (20%) of the Full Offer Value (such amount, the “Now Remittance Amount”). Unauthorized Redemptions will not be considered Now Validated Redemptions. R4U Offers will pay you the Now Remittance Amount for all then-Now Validated Redemptions (the “Now Aggregate Net Amount”). R4U Offers will establish the Now Aggregate Net Amount due for a particular deal thirty (30) days following the applicable deals’ promotional expiration, and mail you a check for any Now Aggregate Net Amounts due on a bi-weekly basis corresponding approximately with the 15th last day of the month.

4.3 Stores Payment Terms. For each voucher that is redeemed and for which you electronically submit redemption data to R4U Offers through an authorized mode of redemption, whether via customer mobile app, via merchant mobile app, or through your Merchant Account (each, a “Stores Validated Redemption”), you will be paid an amount equal to: the amount paid, less a per-voucher promotion and distribution fee of twenty percent (20%) of the amount paid (such amount, the “Stores Remittance Amount”). R4U Offers will pay you the Stores Remittance Amount for your Stores Program every two weeks if the total Stores Remittance Amount (“Stores Aggregate Net Amount”) due is more than Fifty Euros (€50). If the Stores Aggregate Net Amount due is less than €50, R4U Offers will mail you a check for amount in your account when the last voucher is redeemed or when the voucher’s Promotional Value expires, whichever comes first. Following the Promotional Value Expiration, R4U Offers will continue to pay you for any vouchers redeemed every two weeks where the Fifty Euros threshold is met, or as otherwise agreed between you and R4U Offers in writing.

4.4 Payment Method. Unless otherwise arranged in writing between you and R4U Offers, payments owed to you under Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 will be made by check and mailed to you at the address in your Merchant Account on the bi-weekly schedule indicated above.

Section 5: TERM AND TERMINATION

5.1 Term. These Terms are effective on the earlier of the date on which you first access the Merchant Center through your Merchant Account, accept the Merchant Account Terms, or submit a DR. These Terms will remain in effect through the expiration of all vouchers’ amount paid or such earlier date as all vouchers are redeemed or refunded to their purchasers, unless otherwise earlier terminated as set forth below.

5.2 Termination. R4U Offers may terminate these Terms and suspend your access to the Merchant Account with five days advance written notice for convenience, or immediately for cause if: (a) you violate your redemption obligations with respect to any Offer made

7

by you through R4U Offers’s programs and services; (b) you fail to redeem or cause the redemption of any voucher to fail for any reason, including but not limited to the sale or dissolution of your business, a violation of or a higher than expected number of purchasers, or (c) you violate any of the material terms of these Terms or any other agreement you have with R4U Offers.

5.3 Suspension of a Program Offer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you may cancel or suspend a Program Offer through your Merchant Account.

5.4 Obligations Upon Termination; Survival of Relevant Provisions. Neither the expiration nor termination of these Terms, nor your suspension or cancellation of any Offer shall in any way affect the rights of any holder of a valid voucher, R4U Offers’s obligation to pay you for validly redeemed vouchers, or modify or eliminate your obligation to redeem any valid voucher pursuant to its terms. All Terms and any sections of these Terms that are logically intended and required to survive expiration or termination of these Terms to achieve their intent, shall survive without limitation.

You understand and agree further that your compliance with Laws is a basic requirement, and that you must also comply with all of R4U Offers’s Program requirements and product -specific policies applicable to vouchers (“Rules”), which Rules may require you to do more than the Laws alone might mandate.

Unless otherwise retained by R4U Offers, Authorization Documents should be attached to and available in, your Merchant Account. Even if R4U Offers has accepted a particular DR for your Offer, R4U Offers shall have no obligation to promote any Offer until it has received Authorization Documents it reasonably considers it to be satisfactory.

Each Party agrees that (i) the terms set forth in your Merchant Account are confidential, (ii) any information designated by the other Party as “confidential,” and (iii) any other information that the recipient should reasonably expect to be confidential under the circumstances shall be collectively deemed “Confidential Information.” Confidential Information does not include information that (a) was, or becomes, publicly

If a Party is required by Law to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information, it shall promptly notify the other Party and shall cooperate with the other Party to obtain a protective order or to otherwise limit the disclosure of the Confidential Information.

9.3 Irreparable Harm. Each Party agrees that, in the event of an actual, alleged or threatened breach of its confidentiality obligations established by these Terms, the other Party is likely to suffer immediate and irreparable harm, and may seek a temporary restraining order, injunction or other form of equitable relief without the posting of any bond or other security.

Section 10: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; CUSTOMER DATA

10.1 R4U Offers IP. You acknowledge that R4U Offers owns all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in the R4U Offers Site, trade name, logos, trademarks, and service marks, and any content, data, software, technology, tools, or business methods used by R4U Offers to develop, promote, market, sell, generate, or distribute Offers and vouchers and otherwise perform under these Terms (collectively the “R4U Offers IP”).
