Yodle, Inc. (“Yodle”) designs, develops and markets online advertising solutions and internet-services for various businesses. Yodle has created a customer Referral Program to reward any person who recommends Yodle’s services to third parties, if such recommendation results in Yodle contracting with such third party as a new customer. By completing all of the required information fields below in this Agreement and then clicking the “Agree” button, You (as an individual, solely in your individual capacity) agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. This Agreement will not become binding upon Yodle until Yodle issues You a Referral Partner ID number, as described below. You are referred to as “Referral Partner” for purposes of this Agreement. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT IT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED THAT REFERRAL PARTNER HAS AGREED TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT IF REFERRAL PARTNER HAS CLICKED ON THE “AGREE” BUTTON BELOW. 1. Referral Program: 1.1 Once Referral Partner accepts this Agreement, Yodle will send to Referral Partner a confirmatory email. Referral Partner MUST RESPOND to Yodle’s confirmatory email in order to complete the application process. After Yodle receives Referral Partner’s response email, Yodle will send another email to Referral Partner containing an identification number unique to Referral Partner (“Referral Partner ID”). The Effective Date of this Agreement is the date on which Yodle sends the Referral Partner ID to Referral Partner and this Agreement shall then continue in effect until terminated as provided herein (“Term”). 1.2 A “Referral” occurs when Yodle accepts a contract to provide paid search management services, with a minimum monthly advertising budget of $500, to a customer referred to Yodle by Referral Partner and such customer is active and spending money on online advertising through the Yodle platform (“Going Live,” “Gone Live,” “Goes Live”). Yodle, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines whether a customer has Gone Live and determines the time and date at which any such customer has Gone Live. Further, Referrals shall not include any customer whose contact information is already within Yodle’s customer and potential customer database(s) and who has been in contact with a Yodle representative at any time during the previous 12 months. 1.3 In order for Referral Partner to receive payment for a Referral, the Referral customer must provide Referral Partner’s Referral Partner ID to Yodle’s sales representative responsible for receiving such customer’s contract and such Referral Partner ID must be provided at the time the customer enters into such contract. 1.4 Yodle will pay Referral Partner a fee of $200 (“Referral Fee”) for each Referral made by Referral Partner. 1.5 Payments of Referral Fees to Referral Partner will be tallied and processed at the end of each month and paid within 45 days of the month end. If Referral Partner is an existing customer of Yodle, Referral Partner will receive payment of the Referral Fees in the form of a credit on Referral Partner’s account, unless Referral Partner notifies Yodle in writing that Referral Partner desires payment by check. If Referral Partner so notifies Yodle, the payment of Fees shall be made by check for the month beginning immediately after the month in which the notice is received. If Referral Partner is not a Yodle customer, Referral Partner will receive payment of Fees by check. All checks will be sent by regular mail. 1.6 As incentive to the referred customer to participate in this Referral Program, Yodle will provide $50 of Yodle Media Credit to each Referred customer who provides Yodle with a Referral Partner ID as part of entering into a contract with Yodle. “Yodle Media Credit” is a credit that will be applied to the Referral customer’s Yodle account balance that is used to advertise such Referral customer’s business through the Yodle platform. 1.7 Referral Partner acknowledges and agrees that Referral Partner’s level of earnings under this Agreement are a direct result of Referral Partner’s own efforts and that Yodle does not guarantee that Referral Partner will earn any payments under this Agreement. 2. Restrictions: 2.1 Referral Partner agrees and acknowledges that no payment of any kind, other than the Fees as provided in this Agreement, is due from Yodle to Referral Partner as a result of Referral Partner making Referrals under this Agreement. Referral Partner shall not charge any Referral customer any fees, costs or charges of any kind on behalf of Yodle nor accept any payment of any kind on behalf of Yodle. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit Referral Partner from providing services on Referral Partner’s own behalf to any Referral customer. 2.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to create an employment relationship of any kind between Referral Partner and Yodle. If any court or agency construes this Agreement to have created an employment relationship as between Referral Partner and Yodle, then this Agreement shall have no force and effect, and shall be null and void, beginning on the date on which such employment relationship is deemed to have taken effect. Referral Partner represents and warrants that Referral Partner is not currently an employee of Yodle, has not been an employee of Yodle during the Term, and that if Referral Partner becomes an employee of Yodle after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall immediately terminate without the need for any notice upon the date such employment begins. 2.3 Referral Partner represents and warrants that Referral Partner is not an agent of Yodle and has no authority to make any representations to any third party on behalf of Yodle, nor any right or authority to bind Yodle to any action or agreement whatsoever. Referral Partner represents, warrants and covenants that Referral Partner shall not make any misrepresentations, including by omission, regarding Yodle or the services that Yodle provides, in any manner whatsoever. 2.4 Referral Partner represents and warrants that Referral Partner is not a member of the immediate family of any Yodle employee within Yodle’s Sales Department. For this purpose, “immediate family” includes parents, spouses, children, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren. 3. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 5 days written notice to the other party. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically (i) upon any default by Referral Partner under this Agreement; or (ii) as set forth in Section 2.2 above. 4. Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition. Referral Partner acknowledges the character of Yodle’s business and the substantial amount of time, money, and effort that Yodle has spent and will spend in building relationships with customers and recruiting competent employees and service providers. Referral Partner agrees that, during the Term and for a period of one year thereafter, Referral Partner will not (i) solicit, hire or engage, or actively assist any other person or entity which competes with Yodle in soliciting, hiring or engaging, any consultant, manager, executive, or any other person who is on the Effective Date or at any time during the Term employed or engaged by Yodle as an employee or service provider; and (ii) compete with Yodle, directly or indirectly, including as a consultant or an advisor, during the Term. 5. Assignment. This Agreement is personal to Referral Partner and any assignment made by Referral Partner of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be null and void. Yodle shall have the unrestricted right to assign this Agreement, or any rights and obligations hereunder, without consent or notice to Referral Partner. 6. Indemnification. Referral Partner shall at all times during the Term and thereafter, indemnify and hold harmless Yodle and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates, against all claims, proceedings, demands, costs, damages, and liabilities of any kind whatsoever, including legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of, connected with, resulting from, or sustained as a result of Referral Partner’s breach of this Agreement. 7. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL YODLE BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ECONOMIC DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PROPERTY AND LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YODLE SHALL BE ADVISED, SHALL HAVE OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT SHALL KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. YODLE’S LIABILITY TO REFERRAL PARTNER FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ANY CLAIM OR ACTION, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT WHICH YODLE HAS PAID TO REFERRAL PARTNER IN THE SIX MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OCCURRED. 8. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Referral Partner and Yodle agreed and intend that there are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement. 9. Amendment; Waiver. The terms and conditions governing Yodle’s Referral Program may be changed from time to time at Yodle’s sole and absolute discretion. Yodle shall provide Referral Partner with notice of any change of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Referral Partner shall then have the right to terminate the then modified Agreement immediately upon written notice to Yodle. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall become effective unless embodied in writing and signed by Yodle. The waiver by either party of the breach of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing to be effective, and any such waiver shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision or other subsequent breach. 10.
