FTC Disclosure and Transparency Requirements You agree to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising and all related laws, regulations and guidance (“FTC Guidelines”) governing or concerning your disclosure of a material connection with Advertiser or its affiliates. Accordingly, anytime that Media Partner Content references Advertiser Products and/or includes a Qualifying Link on an Authorized Channel, you agree without limitation: To clearly and conspicuously disclose your relationship with Advertiser and identify yourself as a paid affiliate of Advertiser everywhere a Qualifying Link appears (e.g., on any and all web pages, social media posts, blog posts, email communications etc., regardless of the Authorized Property). The following is example disclosure language. I get commissions for purchases or leads made through links in this [INSERT DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORIZED PROPERTY]. This is an affiliate link and I receive a commission from Skillshare for purchases or leads generated through this link. I am a Skillshare affiliate, which means I get a commission when you buy through my link. I am a participant in the Skillshare Affiliate Marketing Program, an affiliate marketing program that pays fees to affiliates that advertise and link to skillshare.com. The products advertised on this site are from Skillshare, from which [INSERT YOUR NAME] receives compensation. [If true, and only if the site/article/social post, includes products from multiple companies, add the following sentence: This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this [INSERT DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORIZED PROPERTY] (including, for example, the order in which they appear).] Although Advertiser does not require specific language to disclose a material connection, we do prohibit certain hashtags and other disclosure practices specifically found by the FTC to be insufficient. The following examples are not sufficient disclosures for paid affiliates: Simply stating “affiliate link” or “these are affiliate links” or similar variations Use of #affiliatelink Ensure that each such disclosure made pursuant to Section 3.A.i hereunder shall be prominently placed in close proximity to the references to any Qualifying Link and shall appear on each page, post or communication containing a reference to Advertiser Products and/or Qualifying Link. Not to make any false, misleading or deceptive statements about Advertiser or Advertiser Products. You should only make factual statements about Advertiser or Advertiser Product characteristics or quality which you know for certain are true and can be verified. That your statements and content will always be original to you and reflect your honest, truthful and factual opinions and actual experiences that are verifiable. You will not make product or service performance or attribute claims, or pricing claims, about Advertiser Products without prior written approval of Advertiser in each instance. In the event that Media Partner has breached his or her obligations under this Section 3.A., Advertiser may immediately terminate this Agreement and withhold any Payouts earned hereunder, and may immediately suspend or terminate Media Partner from the Program. FTC Guidelines, including hashtag and disclaimer requirements are subject to change over time and it is your responsibility to review and comply with current guidelines.

Media Partner Content must not violate or infringe any intellectual property rights of third parties. Media Partner Content shall not incorporate or prominently display any third-party brands or trademarks other than that of Advertiser without Advertiser’s prior permission. You shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as the terms, conditions, guidelines and policies of any social media platform, service or other Authorized Properties that you use to perform the affiliate services as part of with the Program (including, without limitation, the Facebook/Instagram “Branded Content Policies”). You shall not imply more of a relationship between yourself and Advertiser than what is created by your participation in the Program. For example, you may not hold yourself out as an employee or authorized representative of Advertiser. You shall not modify or alter any Advertiser Site in any way, or make any representations, either express or implied, or create an appearance that a visitor to an Authorized Property is visiting an Advertiser Site (e.g. “framing an Advertiser Site). You shall not scrape or spider an Advertiser Site for content (e.g. text, logos, or images) unless you have Advertiser’s express written consent. You shall not use Advertiser Marks or Advertiser Product names, or any variations, misspellings or portions thereof in domain names of Authorized Properties, unless expressly and explicitly authorized by Advertiser in writing. You must respect the wishes of the recipients of your communications about Advertiser. For example, you may not continue to send messages about Advertiser to recipients who have indicated that they no longer wish to receive them. You shall not induce persons to click on Creative based on financial incentives (e.g. rewards programs) without the prior written approval of Advertiser. You shall not change the Creative, which may include Advertiser Marks, without the express prior written consent of Advertiser. You may not distribute, license, resell, or otherwise use Qualifying Links or Advertiser Creative unless authorized through Advertiser’s Information Page on the Network or by Advertiser’s written permission. You shall not serve Creative, or drive traffic to such Creative, using any downloadable applications or automated process without the prior written approval of Advertiser, including such things as mobile applications, desktop applications, browser plugins and/or toolbars, ActiveX, Java, or JavaScript programs. You shall not send any incentivized traffic in any way, including offering monetary rewards, points, prizes, sweepstakes, etc. to visitors for clicking on Qualifying Links or completing Qualifying Referrals without Advertiser’s written permission. You shall not launch any campaign without approval from Advertiser provided through the Network or otherwise in writing. If you or one of your Authorized Properties donates any portion of your Payouts to any school, foundation or other charitable organization, you may not state or imply that Advertiser endorses such activities or is responsible in any way for the inclusion and donation of funds to any of the schools, foundations or charities associated with you or your Authorized Properties without express written consent from Advertiser. The following methods of generating visitor interest in Creative are prohibited and may be grounds for immediate termination, in addition to other remedies available to Advertiser: mailing e-mails to anyone who has indicated that they do not want to receive marketing emails from you or Advertiser (i.e., spamming); use of unsolicited e-mail or inappropriate newsgroup postings to promote the Creative; autospawning of browsers; or automatic redirecting of visitors; blind text links; misleading links, forced clicks (a person should never be ‘forced’ to click on a Creative because their browser has been hijacked, or because a Creative has been altered so that it is impossible to close without clicking it); or any other method that may lead to artificially high numbers of delivered clicks. You may not, without Advertiser’s prior written authorization, use paid search, including to bid on or purchase keywords from search engine service providers, in order to drive traffic to Creative or Advertiser Sites, including, but not limited to purchasing non-brand keywords related to Advertiser’s product category, and/or brand keywords that include the Advertiser Marks, Advertiser Product names, and related properties including [INSERT ADVERTISER DOMAIN NAME], or variations, misspellings or any portions of the foregoing, or purchasing online advertising inventory for purposes of running advertisements that include brand or category-related keywords, Advertiser Marks or Advertiser Product names on websites or within e-mails. You may not promote Advertiser Products, or use Qualifying Links, Advertiser Marks, or Advertiser Product names, on websites other than the Authorized Properties, including any websites that you do not own (e.g., on Google Product search, Amazon, eBay, or any comparison shopping engines such as Shopzilla or Pricegabber). You may not personally make purchases or generate leads using your own Qualifying Links and expect Payouts. Advertiser understands that you may use “tracking and reporting” technologies to collect visitors’ anonymous online behavior, preferences, and other activity that is customarily tracked from visitors to your Authorized Properties, which may include, technologies designed to collect, track, store or classify aggregate and/or anonymous user data, movements or preferences; provided that you represent, warrant and covenant that you will use such technologies in accordance with the terms of the privacy policy posted on the applicable Authorized Property and all applicable laws rules, regulations, guidance and industry best practices. You agree you will not use any such information, either collected by you or any Authorized Property or otherwise derived from any such collection to identify or target any user as a Advertiser customer or as otherwise connected to Advertiser or this Agreement. You recognize that a breach of these conditions could result in immediate, extraordinary and irreparable damage to Advertiser, and that damages may be difficult to measure. Email Marketing Communications If approved in writing by Advertiser, you may use e-mail to promote Advertiser Products with a Qualifying Link, and in such event, you must comply with The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (“CAN-SPAM”). As the “designated sender” of the email, within the applicable timeframes designated by CAN-SPAM and on an ongoing basis, you must scrub your proposed list of recipients against your do-not-email list to ensure that you do not send the email to any recipients who have previously opted-out of receiving commercial email from you. In addition, the content of any e-mail or other communications used by Media Partner: (a) shall be subject to the approval of Advertiser, in its sole discretion (b) must use local click through/redirect URLs that link immediately to Media Partner’s server from which the user is redirected to the Advertiser Site, and (c) comply with the following requirements: Subject line should be pertinent to the promotions contained within the e-mail From line should identify Media Partner only E-mail must include Media Partner content (i.e., content promoting Media Partner, Media Partner’s website, or Media Partner’s own goods and services) as well as content promoting Advertiser E-mail should include correct Qualifying Link E-mail must include a functioning opt-out link for recipients to opt-out of receiving future commercial email from Media Partner and opt-out language E-mail should be framed in sender’s e-mail template so as to clearly indicate that the e-mail was not sent from Advertiser Media Partner must send test e-mail for approval to marketing representative at Advertiser Note: if Media Partner launches program without receipt of an approved test, Advertiser reserves the right to stop the program Media Partner WILL NOT spam or send unsolicited email mentioning or promoting the Program, Advertiser or Advertiser Products. You warrant and agree to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to the sending of any email communications in connection with the Program, including the CAN-SPAM Act, privacy laws, and data security standards consistent with the industry, and shall indemnify Advertiser for any claims resulting from your failure to do so. Qualifying Links. You are responsible for notifying us and the Network of any malfunctions of the Qualifying Links or other problems with your participation in the Program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. You shall not modify or change any of the Qualifying Links, including by redirecting links to hide or manipulate their original source, or direct-linking, e.g., using Qualifying Links as the destination URL in any paid advertisement. Only valid Qualifying Links generated by the Network will be tracked for purposes of determining the Payouts that you may be eligible to receive on Qualifying Referrals. The position, prominence, location(s) and overall appearance of Qualifying Links on any Authorized Properties shall comply with any requirements as specified in the Electronic Insertion Order, these Partner Terms or otherwise determined by Advertiser in its sole discretion. You shall refrain from hardcoding or any other provision or treatment of the Qualifying Links, including without limitation preventing them from dynamic system updating. You shall refrain from stripping impression tags from Qualifying Links. You shall not post your Qualifying Links on any Advertiser owned platforms or social media pages. You must include the Shared ID provided by Advertiser (which identifies the Authorized Property) in the URL of each Qualifying Link. You must include/disclose the referral source for all traffic resulting in Qualifying Referrals triggering Payouts. Payouts shall only be paid if resulting from proper use of Qualifying Links as expressly provided herein, and any Media Partner who violates this provision shall be deemed in breach of this Agreement, and may be removed from the Program in the sole discretion of Advertiser. Promotion Codes, Coupons, and Offer Messaging. You are only allowed to use Advertiser promotion codes that are communicated specifically to you via the Network on behalf of Advertiser. If you use Advertiser promotion codes from other sources, Advertiser may recover Payouts resulting from the use of those codes. Any coupons provided for use in your promotion of Advertiser Products must be displayed in their entirety with the full offer, offer exclusions or disclaimer text, valid expiration date and code. The terms of any offers (e.g., special instructions, exceptions, dates valid) you are authorized to promote will be posted on the Network’s site or otherwise communicated to you. You may not promote an offer prior to the start dates indicated in such offer terms without written consent of Advertiser. Early promotion may result in immediate removal and termination from the Program. At any time, Advertiser may, with or without notice, change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of a particular offer or remove, alter, or modify any graphic or banner ad provided to you pursuant to an offer. You agree to promptly implement any request from Advertiser to remove, alter or modify any graphic or banner ad posted on one of your Authorized Properties. Payment Terms. Payouts. Subject to Section 4.B below and the terms of Schedule 1 of the Master Campaign Agreement (as applicable), Advertiser agrees to pay you the Payouts set forth in the Electronic Insertion Order for each Qualifying Referral, provided that the customer (i) must have purchased Advertiser Products and/or completed a Lead by accessing the Advertiser Site directly via a Qualifying Link from one of your Authorized Properties; and (ii) must have clicked the Qualifying Link to the Advertiser Site and purchased Advertiser Products or completed a Lead during the designated time period specified in the Electronic Insertion Order (i.e., the “Referral Window” or similarly labeled period of time), provided that it was the last Qualifying Link to the Advertiser Site that the customer clicked during that same time period (i.e., “Last Click” attribution). Subject to Section 4.B below, Advertiser further agrees to pay you, as applicable, any Bonus Payouts agreed between you and Advertiser, or Network on behalf of the Advertiser. All determinations of Qualifying Links, Actions, and Qualifying Referrals (including Leads), and whether a Payout or Bonus Payout is payable, will be made by Advertiser in its sole discretion. Right to Withhold Payment. Advertiser reserves the right to withhold payment for Qualifying Referrals in the event of any of the following circumstances, in addition to those set forth in Schedule 1 of the Master Campaign Agreement: (a) verified product/service returns or cancellations, or disputed charges; (b) purchases made with the intent to resell; (c) duplicate entry or other clear error; (d) non-bona fide transactions (e.g., promoting Advertiser in a way that misleads a customer and/or causes transactions to be made that are not in good faith, including, but not limited to, using any device, program, robot, iframes, or hidden frames, or Media Partner making purchases using its own Qualifying Links, or Qualifying Referrals that Advertiser suspects to be made with intent to resell and/or produce sales or actions that are made through fraudulent or illegal means); (e) another failure by Media Partner to comply with the Electronic Insertion Order, or Partner Terms; (f) with respect to a Qualifying Referral, non-receipt of payment from, or refund of payment to, the customer; or (g) the Media Partner is not the last entity to refer such customer to Advertiser before a transaction is completed. Advertiser uses Forensiq for traffic verification. Any action (conversion, sale, lead, install) that receives invalid-traffic or attribution fraud scoring pursuant to the Forensiq technology will be deemed a non-payable event resulting in reversal of the pending action(s), a make-good requirement (if already paid out), and/or is grounds for termination of the partner relationship (in Advertiser's sole discretion). Payout Schedule We will pay the Payouts as designated in the Payout Scheduling section of the applicable Electronic Insertion Order. The Network will send you a check or effect a direct deposit or otherwise, as selected by you from the Payout options available by the Network for the Payouts you have earned that were tracked during the applicable period, less any amounts properly withheld during the applicable period. Bonus Payouts shall be paid by the Network via the Payout option you have selected, as they are earned, and in accordance with such payment schedule as shall be designated by Advertiser and communicated by the Network. Order Processing, Tracking, and Reporting; Purchase Policies and Pricing Advertiser shall have the sole right and responsibility for processing all transactions made by customers on an Advertiser Site. You acknowledge that internet tracking services that may be used are subject to factors beyond Advertiser’s reasonable control that may cause discrepancies in matching Qualifying Links to Qualifying Referrals. For example, we are currently unable to track transactions involving customers with browsers set to disable “cookies” and who browse other websites owned or operated by other media partners before completing their purchase on an Advertiser Site. You acknowledge that such discrepancies will not constitute a breach of this Agreement and you will have no recourse for damages suffered as a result of such discrepancies. To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the links between any Authorized Properties and the Advertiser Site are properly formatted. Advertiser will not be responsible for improperly formatted links regardless of whether you have made amendments to the code or not. Reports summarizing this activity will be available to you through the Network. The form, content and frequency of the reports are limited to those reports and capabilities available through the Network and may vary from time to time in our and/or the Network’s reasonable discretion. Advertiser is not responsible for any changes that the Network may make in reporting format or timing or in the types of reports available. If you believe an Action did not track, you may create an Action inquiry to provide the missing order details to Advertiser for review. By passing an order ID to Advertiser, you are asking Advertiser to verify the order ID and credit your account if the Action failed to track. This process is limited to Actions which have occurred within the Action Locking period specified in the applicable Electronic Insertion Order, and orders falling outside of the Locking period will not be considered valid. See the applicable Electronic Insertion Order for Action Locking Period deadlines. You acknowledge that all agreements relating to Advertiser Products purchased through the Program shall be between Advertiser and its customers. Customers who purchase products and services through this Program will be deemed to be customers of Advertiser. Accordingly, all Advertiser rules, policies, and operating procedures will apply to any transactions or relationships resulting from the Program. Advertiser may change its policies and operating procedures at any time. Advertiser will determine the prices to be charged for Advertiser Products sold under the Program in accordance with its own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. You agree not to include the prices of Advertiser Products in any Media Partner Content unless it is provided to you through the Network and authorized for your use in connection with a particular engagement, or unless expressly authorized in writing by Advertiser. Advertiser will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular Advertiser Product or the error‐free or uninterrupted operation of any Advertiser Site or the Network’s platform. As between you and Advertiser, Advertiser will own all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to all information that is created or collected in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) any contact information collected from any customer who visits an Advertiser Site from a Qualifying Link and (b) any information regarding click-through rates or product(s) purchased by such customers on an Advertiser Site (“Sales Information”).

All Sales Information is Advertiser’s Confidential Information. During and after the Term, you agree (i) not to disclose or use, or allow anyone else to use, any Confidential Information for any purpose, other than in connection with your participation in the Program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Additional Terms; and (ii) not to make, or allow anyone else to make, copies of any Confidential Information, except as Advertiser may agree in advance in writing. If you are compelled to disclose any Confidential Information by law, you agree to give prior written notice to Advertiser, so Advertiser may seek a protective order at its option.
