EARNING INCENTIVES; PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
Participants have the opportunity to earn Incentives through the Program, including commissions on qualifying purchases. Current Incentives and Program details are set forth on Exhibit B. In addition, Love to Dream™ may choose to offer bonus Incentives at any time in its sole discretion, and any bonus Incentives will be subject to the terms set forth at the time they are offered. Some bonus Incentives may not be open to all Participants. Activities that occurred prior to your enrollment in the Program do not qualify for this Program and will not earn you Incentives.
Commission Calculation. To be eligible for a commission, a third party must shop with LovetoDream.com through your Storefront and purchase Eligible Merchandise (as defined in Exhibit B) within fourteen days of their visit to your Storefront without having visited another Participant’s Storefront in the interim. You are not eligible to earn commissions on your own purchases. The commission paid will be the rate(s) applicable on the Earning Date multiplied by Net Sales. “Net Sales” means the amount received by Love to Dream™ from Eligible Merchandise after all discounts are applied, less returns, taxes or other applicable governmental fees, shipping, handling, delivery surcharges, processing charges. To the extent the Program offers differing commission rates for differing categories of Products, the commission will be calculated by applying the applicable rate to the relevant category of Eligible Merchandise.
If you or we have terminated or suspended your participation in the Program prior to the Earning Date, no commission will be earned, even if the purchase of otherwise commission-eligible merchandise occurred prior to the termination or suspension effective date.
Other Incentives. For any other Incentives, including store credits, they will be earned as set forth in Exhibit B or in the terms applicable to any bonus Incentive.
Earning Date. Incentives are earned once they are confirmed by Love to Dream, or in the case of commissions, on the day following the close of the then-applicable return period (in each case, the “Earning Date”). For instance, if Love to Dream offers a 1 post/month bonus Incentive, and you compliantly post 1 times during April, Love to Dream™ will confirm in May that the goal was reached, and as set forth below, you will be paid on the first business day of June.
Payments. If you are eligible for a cash payment incentive, payments are made on the first business day of each month for all Incentives earned in the prior month. All payments to Participants will be made via Tremendous. You will receive a link via email from Tremendous, through which link you will direct Tremendous as to how to disburse your payment. Love to Dream™ has no responsibility or liability for payments that Participant is unable to access at Tremendous or if Participant’s Tremendous payment retrieval link is accessed without your authorization and the sums directed in an unauthorized manner. Delivery of payment by Love to Dream™ to LoudCrowd or Tremendous fully satisfies Love to Dream™’s payment obligations hereunder, and you fully and finally waive any ability to seek compensation directly from Love to Dream™.
Tremendous may limit how long you must retrieve your payment. Please consult Tremendous’ terms or contact Tremendous if you have questions regarding this topic.

GOVERNING LAW, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
Any legal dispute between you and Love to Dream™ concerning or arising out of these Terms, your participation in the Program, any products or services sold or distributed through our websites and services, or any other dispute of any nature, shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration (hereafter, “Arbitration Agreement”). However, either you or Love to Dream™ may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim.
How Arbitration Works. Disputes will be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. ("JAMS") or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a "Demand for Arbitration", then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service who will hear the case. Unless you and Love to Dream™ agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing shall take place in the county of your residence. If you live outside the United States, any arbitration will take place in New York, New York. We encourage you to call in advance of filing a claim for arbitration to see if the dispute can be settled prior to arbitration.
Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action and Representative Claims. All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court, however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and Love to Dream™ also agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or their respective individual capacities and in so doing you and Love to Dream™ hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration, to assert or participate in a private attorney general lawsuit or private attorney general arbitration, and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular cause of action, then that cause of action (and only that cause of action) must remain in court and be severed from any arbitration.
Arbitration Costs. Love to Dream™ will pay all filing, administrative, arbitrator and hearing costs and waives any rights it may have to recover an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses against you.
Batch Arbitration. You and Love to Dream™ agree that, in the event that there are fifty (50) or more individual requests for arbitration of a similar nature filed against Love to Dream™ within an approximately thirty-day period (or otherwise in close proximity), JAMS will administer all such similarly situated arbitration demands on a collective basis as a single, consolidated arbitration (subject to a single set of fees, proceeding schedule, and, if required, hearing) before a single arbitrator in accordance with the requirements outlined elsewhere in this section, provided that – in the event that the arbitrator deems it impracticable or inequitable to administer all such claims collectively in a single arbitration – (s)he may group demands for arbitration into groups of not fewer than twenty (20) matters, plus a remainder group as needed (or as otherwise deemed by the arbitrator to be practicable, equitable, and in best keeping with the spirit of this provision) and arbitrate each group of matters as a single, consolidated arbitration (either structure a “Batch Arbitration”). You and Love to Dream™ agree (1) to work with JAMS in good faith to facilitate the resolution of disputes on a Batch Arbitration basis and (2) that requests for arbitration are of a “similar nature” if they arise out of the same event, agreement, or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Disagreements over the applicability of this Batch Arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class or collective arbitration or action of any kind, or any suit or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims, under any circumstances other than those expressly set forth in this section.
Other Terms & Information. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of these Terms, or to any disputes and claims that are covered by the Arbitration Agreement, the law of the State of New York will govern. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Participant is not an agent or employee of Love to Dream™ and shall remain in all respects an independent contractor. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. Participant has no authority to act for or on behalf of Love to Dream™ or to bind Love to Dream™ in any legal contracts.

MISCELLANEOUS
In our sole discretion, we may assign these Terms in whole or in part, without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.

The failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Love to Dream™in writing. Any heading, caption or paragraph title contained in these Terms is inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way defines or explains any paragraph or provision hereof. Nothing contained in these Terms will be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between you and Love to Dream™.

EXHIBIT A
Influencer Guidelines
Love to Dream™ (“Brand”) requires that influencers, bloggers and any other individuals or entities Brand works with or who choose of their own volition to disseminate endorsements of Brand or its products or services ("you" or "lnfluencer(s)") agree to and follow the Influencer Guidelines set out below (collectively, "Influencer Guidelines").
These Influencer Guidelines apply where you publish a post, tweet, video, photo, or other message that promotes or references Brand or its products or services AND you have received payment or something else of value from Brand or have another material connection to Brand (e.g., you work for Brand or a Brand vendor). A “Material connection” is defined in the FTC Endorsement Guides as “a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product that might materially affect the weight or credibility of the endorsement, and that connection is not reasonably expected by the audience.” Important examples of “material connections” include consideration (i.e., benefits or incentives such as monetary compensation, loaner products, free products or services, in-kind gifts, or special access privileges) provided by a marketer to an influencer.
Failure to follow these Influencer Guidelines may result in, among other things, legal liability for you and others, termination of your agreement or relationship with Brand, and forfeiture of any consideration provided or to be provided to you.
1. Disclose your Connection to Brand
- a. You must disclose your connection to Brand clearly and conspicuously, which means that your disclosure must be obviously visible, difficult to miss, and easily noticeable to anyone who visits the applicable website, platform or service and reads or sees your post or message. A consumer must not have to scroll, click or mouse or search for the disclosure. Read more below for some specific placement instructions for disclosures. Your disclosure must also be easily understandable by ordinary consumers.
- b. The disclosure must identify the nature of your connection to Brand. For example, if you received an item for free from or were paid by Brand and you post something about Brand, you must say so. If you earn commissions for Brand purchases made through links you post, say so. If you work for Brand or a Brand partner, say so. If one or more of these connections are present, you must disclose them all. For example, if you receive something for free from Brand (including the receipt of any gift card, free product or access to special events) and are also paid by or work for or with Brand, you cannot only disclose that you received the free item or event invitation. You must disclose both facts.
- c. For short posts or compressed communications, you must include #ad, #LovetodreamPartner #PaidforbyLovetodream, or #SponsoredbyLovetodream at the beginning of these posts. These hashtags cannot be abbreviated (#sp or #spon are NOT sufficient) and they must also be separate from other hashtags.
- d. For Facebook, TikTok and Instagram posts where there is more space than X, you can either use the aforementioned disclosures or be more conversational and use a disclosure like "This post is paid for by Love to Dream™" or, if accurate, "Thanks for the free t-shirt Love to Dream™." (However, any disclosure on Facebook, TikTok or Instagram must be at the beginning of your post so that it visible to a reader without her or his having to click the “more” link.) “Thanks Love to Dream™!” is too vague and not a sufficient disclosure.
- e. Photos & Images
- Posting a photo or image can be an endorsement even if there is no accompanying text (e.g., posting a picture of you wearing Brand clothing on Instagram).
- If possible, include a disclosure on the image as you would for a video (e.g., superimposing larger text over your video and making the disclosure stand out using bold, italic, and/or different color font). If not possible to include a disclosure on the image itself, put the disclosure in a prominent place alongside it (e.g., in the post).
- If a post mentions or shows an image of the Brand in order to drive traffic to an image posted elsewhere, put a disclosure both in that post and in or around the photo itself.
- If a post drives traffic to a photo or image without mentioning or displaying Brand or a Brand product/service, the post does not need a disclosure. But there must still be disclosure in or around the photo or image itself once the user clicks through the link.
- f. For videos, if the endorsement is made through visual means, the disclosure should be made at least visually. If the representation is made audibly, the disclosure should be made at least audibly. And if the representation is made through both visual and audible means, the disclosure should be made both visually and audibly. You must include both a disclosure that is verbal and visual at the beginning of the video in addition to the one at the beginning of the description box. For longer videos (more than 3 minutes) or on-going streaming, leave the disclosure on screen throughout or make periodic disclosures. For example, consider showing a disclosure: (i) at the beginning and end; (ii) every 3 to 5 minutes; and (iii) whenever there is a direct call to action telling viewers to buy Brand products. In determining whether the disclosure is sufficient, factors to consider include: how much time followers have to look at the frame, how much competing text there is to read, how large the disclosure is, and how well it contrasts against the frame.
- g. For videos posted on Snapchat, Instagram stories, or any platform where it is common for viewers to watch videos without sound, use a visual on-screen disclosure at the beginning of the video that is clear and prominent and stays on-screen long enough to be read (e.g, by superimposing larger text over your video). Make the disclosure stand out (e.g., bold, italic, and/or different color font). Do not rely on only an audio disclosure in such instances.
- h. Do not rely on built-in disclosure functions because they do not guarantee compliance. On platforms like Instagram and YouTube (and any other platform that offers such a feature) built-in disclosure features should be utilized in addition to the disclosures described in these Influencer Guidelines. Use of these built-in disclosure features is not alone sufficient.
- i. In the event you are posting on one social media platform and the post is syndicated to another social media platform, disclosures must travel with the content and appear clearly and conspicuously (e.g., pre-click) on all platforms. Similarly, all disclosures must stay with content that can be shared by other users on the same platform (e.g., disclosures must be in both the pre-click description of a video as well as the video itself).
- j. For social media communications promoting a sweepstakes or contest:
- If you are the organizer or sponsor, but Brand has provided you with the prize or otherwise offered you some consideration for sponsoring the promotion:
- Consult with your Brand contact and confirm Brand’s prior approval before posting any content.
- Contest rules should be labeled as rules, not an unidentifiable bit.ly link (e.g., “Enter for a chance to win. ContestRules”)
- The post must include abbreviated rules with the material terms of the contest or sweepstakes (including: that no purchase is necessary to enter, start and end dates and times, eligibility restrictions, material conditions on entry or prize use, approximate value of the prize(s), that the contest/sweepstakes is subject to full official rules and a link to the official rules).
- Your abbreviated and official rules must state that you – not Brand– are the sponsor of the promotion.
- If you promote your sweepstakes or contest using videos, each video must include your abbreviated rules (with a link to the full official rules) within the video and within the description box.
- Your post must include a disclosure of your connection to Brand as described elsewhere in these Influencer Guidelines.
- In addition, if entrants must post to social media to enter, you must require that entrants include a disclosure in their post that makes it clear the post was made to enter a contest or sweepstakes. You can require entrants include #Contest for a contest or #Sweepstakes for a sweepstakes (but #sweeps is not acceptable). You can also require a short unique hashtag for your promotion that itself includes the disclosure (e.g., #MyDisclosureContest or #RequiredHashtagSweepstakes), but make sure the unique hashtag is short so that the word “sweepstakes” or “contest” does not get lost among a long string of words. If applicable, this requirement should be set out in your abbreviated rules.
- You must follow all applicable laws and social-media platform guidelines. You must also abide your own official rules in administering the contest or sweepstakes.
- If you are promoting a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by Brand:
- If your post describes how to enter the contest or sweepstakes (e.g., “Post a photo of yourself and tag it # Love to Dreamsweepstakes) or describes the prizing, the post must include the Brand-provided abbreviated rules. For video posts, the abbreviated rules must be included both in the video itself and in the description box. (If you have been asked to promote a Brand contest or sweepstakes and not provided with abbreviated rules, please ask your contact at Brand.)
- You must include the Brand-provided unique hashtag for the applicable promotion (e.g. # Love to Dream™Sweepstakes).
- You must disclose your connection to Brand, as described elsewhere in these Influencer Guidelines.
- k. While Brand requires you agree to these Influencer Guidelines, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have clearly and conspicuously disclosed your relationship to the product or service.
- l. If you post your own views about a subject, you should also state that your views do not necessarily represent those of Brand. (You must also comply with Section 3 below.)
- m. If you receive a Brand product for free and review that product online, your review should disclose (prominently and at the beginning of the review) that you received the item for free.
-
Rules of the Road
- Make statements in relation to products or services of Brand that reflect only your honest opinion, findings, beliefs and experiences. Do not making statements that you know (or should know) are not true.
- Do not make deceptive or misleading claims about the products or services of Brand or the products or services of a competitor of Brand. Take care to avoid using text, graphics, programming, or any action that misleads, deceives, or confuses consumers.
- Do not misrepresent the source of anything in your posted content, including impersonation of another individual or entity.
- Do not offer for purchase, or solicit, products or services on behalf of Brand. (Linking to your Storefront per the Love to Dream™ Ambassador Program Terms & Conditions is ok.)
- Do not use content that contains advertising for you or third parties (e.g., money making schemes, discount cards, credit counseling, or online surveys).
- Do not use Artificial Intelligence or any post-production techniques (e.g., filters, Photoshop) if the use of the technique could impact a consumer’s understanding of how a product or service will work. For example, if you promote a cosmetic product by posting a filtered photo of yourself using the product, a consumer may think they can achieve the same look if they use the product. Since the photo was altered, however, this would likely not be the case.
- When endorsing any Brand product or service, you must be a bona fide user of that product or services at the time your endorsement is made.
- Use only original material created by you or used with written permission of the originator (and Brand may require a copy of the written permission before posting).
- Do not libel, slander or defame any individual or entity.
- Do not disseminate private facts about another or otherwise invade their privacy in any way.
- Do not reference or otherwise use celebrities in any way without prior permission from Brand.
- If any individuals are shown or referenced in your communications, you must get signed releases for them. This applies to all photographs and video whether taken by you or a third party.
- In addition, if you use video or photographs taken by a third party, you must get written permission to use the video or photography from the person who took the photograph or video as well as the person or persons shown in it.
- Do not use music unless it is properly licensed for synchronization to your visual elements and for commercial purposes.
- Do not make hateful comments or any communication that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm against any individual or group.
- Do not communicate any sexually explicit material or any material that contains nudity or excessive violence.
- Do not communicate anything that contains alcohol without prior written permission from Brand. Do not communicate anything that references illegal drugs, tobacco, guns or other weapons or any unsafe activities.
- Follow the posting policy and terms of use of any site on which your communications or content is posted.
- Do not link to any content that violates any of the foregoing rules of the road.
- Avoid False Low Stock Messaging (e.g., creating pressure to buy immediately by saying inventory is low when it is not); and
- Avoid creating False High Demand (e.g., creating pressure to buy immediately by saying demand is high when it is not).

Product or Service Claims
- a. Only Brand should make claims about how our products or services work and their results.
- b. Note that claims may be implied as well as explicit, and the test is what a reasonable consumer would understand is claimed about a product or service. So, for example, if you describe a particular result you experienced from using a skin care product, consumers may understand that that is a typical result from using the product. If you state, for example, that you won't use a competitor's product or service because it lacks a particular feature, that may imply that the product you state you are using has that feature. These claims about our products or services may need to be substantiated. Since you will not be able to substantiate them, please do not make claims.
- c. If you do not know whether you are making a claim, contact the Brand representative for your engagement or event for clarification.
-
Important General Considerations
- a. Brand strongly believes in the need for responsibility and honesty in connection with all marketing and communication activities. Accordingly, by participating in any Brand event or program, you agree to follow carefully these Influencer Guidelines in all of your messaging, videos, photographs, posts or other materials created, contributed, commented upon or modified by you.
- b. In addition to following these Influencer Guidelines, you agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the Federal Trade Commission's ("FTC") Guides on the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, FTC Endorsement Guide. For more information on complying with the FTC Endorsement Guide, please see the FTC’s FAQs at FTC’s FAQs.
- c. The responsibility to comply with the FTC Endorsement Guide, the laws of libel and copyright, pornography and all other applicable laws is yours. While advice from Brand and these Influencer Guidelines are meant to assist in your compliance, it is your legal responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and you should seek independent legal advice as appropriate. Please use common sense and reasonable judgment about what you post online and the materials you disseminate.
- d. Brand reserves the right to review any material created by you before it is publicly posted or disseminated. If such a review process is in place, you agree that you will not publicly distribute any such material before the review process is complete. If for any reason your material is rejected or otherwise is not approved during the review process either in whole or in part, you agree that you will not disseminate the rejected material in any way. You further agree that you will not link the rejected material in private or public with Brand.
- e. You agree to comply with all applicable social media outlet terms of use, privacy policies and any other relevant rules, policies or regulations.
- f. This exhibit is subject to change by Brand at any time effective immediately upon reasonable notice to you (email sufficient).
