REFERRAL AGREEMENT PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT. YOU MAY PRINT THIS PAGE FOR YOUR RECORDS. THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND SKYLUM. BY SUBMITTING THE ONLINE APPLICATION YOU ARE AGREEING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND AND RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH AND EVERY TERM AND CONDITION.
Overview This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to you becoming a referral ("Referral") in the Luminar Referral Program. The purpose of this Agreement is to allow HTML linking between your social media account or website and the Skylum website. Please note that throughout this Agreement, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Skylum, and "you," "your," and "yours" refer to you as the referral partner.
Referral Obligations
2.1. To begin the enrollment process, you will complete and submit the online application at the skylum.partnerstack.com server. All applications are checked and approved automatically. But we may reject your application at our sole discretion and will do so if you or your site:
2.1.1. promote or display sexually explicit materials;

2.1.3. promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age;

2.1.8. use software downloads that potentially enable diversions of commission from other members of our Referral Program;
2.1.9. create or design your website or any other website that you operate or control explicitly or implicitly in a manner that resembles our website or design your website in a manner that leads customers to believe you are Skylum or any of our other affiliated businesses.
2.2. As a member of the Luminar Referral Program, you will have access to the Account Manager. Here you will be able to review our Program's details, download text and banner creative material, browse and get tracking codes for our deals. In order for us to accurately keep track of all guest visits from your site to ours, you must use the HTML code that we provide for each banner, text link, or other referral links we provide you with.
2.3. Skylum reserves the right, at any time, and for any reason, to terminate your participation in the Luminar Referral Program and block our HTML link from your site.
2.4. The maintenance and updating of your social media account or website is your responsibility.
2.5. It is entirely your responsibility to follow all applicable intellectual property and other laws that pertain to your site. You must have express permission to use any person's copyrighted material, whether it be a writing, an image, or any other copyrightable work. We will not be responsible (and you will be solely responsible) if you use another person's copyrighted material or other intellectual property in violation of the law or any third party rights. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any liability or costs for any claims arising out of your acts or alleged acts which allege copyright infringement by you.
2.6. All members in our referral program must be compliant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on testimonials and endorsements. All endorsements, reviews, testimonials on Skylum products and services, as well as relationships between other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs, and other Social Media channels) and Skylum must be clearly disclosed in a written statement on your websites. FTC points out that "when there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product," it is imperative that such a connection is "fully disclosed." FTC would deem our relationship as an endorser-sponsor and believes that the end-user has the right to understand that an endorser-sponsor relationship exists. We share the underlying idea of this approach and require you to adhere to the FTC's rules. Skylum Rights and Obligations.
2.7. If Skylum determines, at Skylum’s sole discretion, that a Referrer is attempting to undermine the fairness, integrity, or legitimate operation of the Program in any way by means of cheating, hacking, deception, or any other unfair practices, Skylum may prohibit the Referrer from participating in the Program and claiming a reward.

Promotion Restrictions
4.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Skylum could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Skylum. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups, and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote Skylum products so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. You may also post to newsgroups to promote Skylum products so long as the newsgroup specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your social media accounts or websites as independent from Skylum. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Luminar Referral Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
4.2. Pay-Per-Click advertising in Google Adwords and Bing PPC Ads is strictly prohibited. Other systems for Pay-per-Click advertisements may be used subject to the terms stated in Section 4.3 below.

Bidding on those keywords will be considered a trademark violation and you will be terminated and banned from the Luminar Referral Program.
4.4. You are not prohibited from keying in a prospect's information into the lead form as long as the prospects' information is real and true and these are valid leads (i.e., sincerely interested in Skylum's service).
4.5. You shall not transmit any so-called "interstitials," "ParasitewareTM," "Parasitic Marketing," "Shopping Assistance Application," "Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons," "Shopping Wallets," or "deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders" to consumers from the time the consumer clicks a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Skylum site (i.e., no page from our site or any Skylum's content or branding is visible on the end user's screen). As used herein "ParasitewareTM" and "Parasitic Marketing" shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of Referral and non- Referral commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer- initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place, or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Bing, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Skylum site in IFrames, hidden links, and automatic pop ups that open Skylum site; (d) targets text on websites, other than those websites 100 percent owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Referral banners with any other banners, other than those that are on websites 100 percent owned by the owner of the application.
4.6. If you are found to be cybersquatting or typosquatting on trademark-related domains you will be terminated and any commissions accrued to you, but unpaid will be forfeited. Promotion Restrictions for Coupon Referrals A "Coupon Referral" is a Referral whose business model substantially consists of making coupons available. Whether you are classified as a Coupon Referral shall be determined by Skylum in its sole discretion. Factors that may lead to classification as "Coupon Referral" include, but are not limited to (i) the presence of coupon offerings, especially from many different merchants, on the Referral’s website, especially if such coupons represent many different merchants and/or are indexed or are organized in a directory; (ii) the presence of certain words (or variations or misspellings thereof) in the website's URL or prominently featured in the website's content, such as "coupons," "deals" or "savings"; (iii) a website that is focused on other merchants and the discounts or promotions offered by them, rather than on products, and that features little original, human-generated content.
5.1. If you are a Coupon Referral you are only allowed to use only coupon offers and promo materials provided via skylum.partnerstack.com. Text links may be used in e-mail communication with Coupon Referral users. You are prohibited to use text links on Coupon Referral website unless the page where this coupon offer is used has the following meta tag in the section of the page:

Such actions will be considered trademark violations and you will be terminated.
5.4. Posting coupon offers on your website with "reveal the coupon code " or a similar phrase that stimulates visitors to click to reveal a coupon code and go to the Skylum's site is prohibited. Grant of Licenses We grant to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable right to (i) access our site through HTML links solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) solely in connection with such links, to use our logos, trade names, trademarks, and similar identifying material (collectively, the "Licensed Materials") that we provide to you or authorize for such purpose.

Representations and Warranties
You represent and warrant that:
6.1. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by you and constitutes your legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against you in accordance with its terms.
6.2. You have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to perform your obligations under this Agreement, without the approval or consent of any other party. Limitations of Liability WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUE OR GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS), EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FURTHER, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL SKYLUM`S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EXCEED THE TOTAL COMMISSION FEES PAID TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. Indemnification You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Skylum and its subsidiaries and referrals, and their directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, partners, members, and other owners, against any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (any or all of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as "Losses") insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on (i) any claim that our use of the referral trademarks infringes on any trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright, license, intellectual property, or other proprietary rights of any third party, (ii) any misrepresentation of a representation or warranty or breach of a covenant and agreement made by you herein, or (iii) any claim related to your site or your business.
Confidentiality All confidential information, including, but not limited to, any business, technical, financial, and customer information, disclosed by one party to the other during negotiation or the effective term of this Agreement, which is marked "Confidential," will remain the sole property of the disclosing party, and each party will keep in confidence and not use or disclose such proprietary information of the other party without the express written permission of the disclosing party. Disputes Any dispute relating in any way to this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The United States Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and the laws of the state of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, we may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of our or any other person or entity's intellectual property or proprietary rights. You further acknowledge and agree that our rights in the Content are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, giving them particular value, the loss of which cannot be readily estimated or adequately compensated for in monetary damages.

You agree that you are an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between you and Skylum.
