DEFINITIONS

All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and defined in the context in which they are used will have the meanings given to them herein. All other terms used in this Agreement will have their plain English meaning as commonly interpreted in the United States.

“Advertiser” means any client, its affiliates, or customer that has a contractual relationship with Tagger Media to receive Creator Content or Submissions, and which may sometimes be referred to as “Subscriber.”

“Content Platform” means all or any portion of a website containing written, video or photographic commentary, news or discussion on one or more particular topics (such as a “Blog”) and that includes any Creator Content.

“Confidential Information” means all information, including but not limited to the material terms of this Agreement, relating to or disclosed in the course of performing under this Agreement which is or should be reasonably understood to be confidential or proprietary to Tagger Media, its Advertisers, the subsidiaries and affiliated companies of both and/or their licensors, licensees, and business partners.

“Creator Content” means all text, files, images, graphics, illustrations, information, data, audio, video, photographs and other content created or provided by Creator pursuant to Program Details.

“IPR” means all intellectual property and proprietary rights throughout the world, including, without limitation, all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, moral rights, and other rights protecting data, information or intangible property throughout the world.

“Program Details” encompasses the terms of any contractual relationship Creator and Advertiser may engage in directly, as well as the specific details provided to Creator by the Advertiser, including, but not limited to, compensation, program dates, branding guidelines, general and specific Creator responsibilities towards the Advertiser.

“Tagger Media Analytics Code” means computer code, including tracking links (such as bit.ly), provided by Tagger Media from time to time for inclusion in produced content.

“Tagger Media Technology” means the Tagger Media Analytics Code, and all additional software, hardware and other technology used by or on behalf of Tagger Media to provide services to its Advertisers and Creator.

SERVICES

During the term of this Agreement, the Advertiser may provide Program Details to Creator from time to time. If Creator accepts the Program Details, Creator will provide the Advertiser with the Services as more specifically described in the applicable Program Details. Creator’s contractual relationship will be directly with the Advertiser, and Creator will be solely responsible for the performance of the Services and hosting, maintenance and operation of Creator’s Content Platform. Creator will operate each Content Platform in accordance with Tagger Media’s Creator Privacy Statement (“Privacy Policy”) which is posted on the Tagger Media website at https://www.taggermedia.com/legal/creator-privacy-policy. Creator’s privacy policy must contain terms no less protective of personal information than the terms of Creator Tagger Media’s Privacy Policy.

DATA PRIVACY

Creator expressly consents to and allows Tagger Media to collect, use, process and disclose personally identifiable information and other data and information as described in this agreement and Tagger Media’s then current Privacy Policy for the purposes of: (a) executing influencer marketing programs, (b) facilitating communications between Creator and Advertiser, (c) providing Advertiser with campaign analytics, and (d) providing Advertisers with a way to extend Program Proposals to Creators they haven’t contracted with directly yet.

This Agreement governs solely the processing of Creator’s personal data obtained directly from the Creator or otherwise obtained via any means other than through publicly available Content Platform APIs (including but not limited to Facebook’s Graph API, Instagram API, Twitter API, etc.). Processing of data obtained via public Content Platform APIs will be governed by respective Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies for such applicable Content Platform API.

In addition, and notwithstanding anything in the Privacy Policy, Tagger Media will have the right to, both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, collect and analyze data and information (including personally identifiable data and information) resulting from Creator’s (and any of Creator’s readers’) access to and use of a Content Platform. Most, but not all, of this data and information is used and disclosed by Tagger Media only in an aggregated non-personally identifiable form that does not directly identify Creator or any other entity or natural person as the source thereof. All such aggregated data and information will be solely owned by Tagger Media and may be used by Tagger Media for any lawful business purpose, including for purposes of data analytics or in order to further enhance or improve the Services, without a duty of accounting to Creator. In addition, Creator acknowledges and agrees that Tagger Media may disclose all information about Creator and that Creator may provide with respect to Creator Content or a Submission to the applicable Advertiser to which that Creator Content or Submission relates. In some instances, Tagger Media might share Creator’s first-party and personal data with Tagger Media’s broader Advertiser base for the purposes of allowing said Advertisers to contact the Creator and extend Program Proposals to them. In case the Creator wishes to object to such sharing, Creator can reach out to Tagger Media with the request via [email protected].

Applicable to EU Resident Data Subjects (Creators) Only:

• EU Resident Creators have certain rights under GDPR over processing of non-aggregated personal data and information (such as Creator’s name or email address), such as the right to request that such data is erased or rectified, for example. More specifically, EU resident Creators have the following rights:
  1. right of access,
  2. right of data portability,
  3. right to erasure,
  4. right to object,
  5. right to rectification, and
  6. right to restriction of processing. For exercising the above rights in case of processing of data Tagger Media obtained directly from the Creator or otherwise via means other than public Content Platform APIs, Creator should reach out to [email protected] stating their request. For exercising the above rights in case of processing of data Tagger Media obtained via public Content Platform APIs, Creator should reach out to Content Platforms directly stating their request.
• In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement Creator has entered into with Tagger Media (including, without limitation, Tagger Media’s Privacy Policy), the terms of this Agreement shall control unless such other agreement expressly provides otherwise by reference to the provision that is unavailing.

Creator is responsible for protecting and securing Creator’s login ID and password from unauthorized use, and Creator agrees to indemnify Tagger Media, its affiliates, and their respective members, managers, directors, officers, and agents against all loss or damage arising from such unauthorized use.

Tagger Media reserves the right to expel Creator and to prevent Creator’s further access to the Services if Creator violates this Agreement. Further, Tagger Media reserves the right to take any action that it deems appropriate with respect to user content in order to prevent potential liability, damage to its brand or public image, or damage to its relationship with its Advertisers, vendors, or suppliers.
