graphics, interfaces, or code and the selection and arrangements thereof is copyrighted as a collective work under the
United States and other copyright laws, and is the intellectual property of Swaggable or its clients, unless otherwise
noted or attributed. Swaggable, Swaggable Rewards, and the Swaggable logo are trademarks and service marks of Swaggable
LLC. Text excerpts, diagrams, logos or other information may be quoted within the content of the Swaggable Sites, and
the respective copyright holders retain their rights to this material. You may download, view, email, copy and print
documents and graphics incorporated in the documents from the Swaggable Sites subject to the following: (1) the

reflecting the gross annual compensation paid by Swaggable to You, net of any reimbursed expenses incurred by You on
behalf of Swaggable pursuant to this Agreement, then You will be required to complete and submit a Form W-9 through the
Swaggable Website.
11. Swaggable’s Liability. Swaggable is only a venue and Swaggable does not screen or censor the profiles or
Submitted Content of Members. We generally do not control the Submitted Content or information provided by Members that
is made available through Swaggable. As a result, the Swaggable has no control over the truth or accuracy of the
information submitted by Members. Swaggable makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or
timeliness of any profile or Submitted Content of Members. In addition, note that there are risks, including, but not
limited to, the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting
under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other Members with whom You come in contact
through Swaggable. By its very nature, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in
some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using
Swaggable and/or the Swaggable Sites.
Because Member authentication on the Internet is difficult, Swaggable cannot and does not confirm that each Member is
who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in Member-to-Member dealings or control the behavior of
participants on any Swaggable Site, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Members, You release the
Swaggable (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential, direct and
indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out
of or in any way connected with such disputes. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your
password and account information. Furthermore, You are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under
Your account.
12. Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL Swaggable, ITS CLIENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR ANY THIRD PARTIES
MENTIONED ON ANY Swaggable SITE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCIDENTAL AND
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) RESULTING FROM THE

OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE Swaggable IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
13. Limitation of Liability. Swaggable, its Clients, and their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates,

consequential, or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way connected with Your use of the Swaggable Service or
participation in its Programs, the use of information provided by You under the Programs, or the merchandise or services
obtained by You through the redemption of Swaggable Rewards under the Service.
Swaggable’s MAXIMUM LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY Swaggable SITE OR YOUR USE OF Swaggable, OR
THE Swaggable CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE),
WILL NOT EXCEED (I) THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR YOUR USE OF THE SITE DURING THE PRIOR TWELVE (12) MONTHS OR (II) TEN
DOLLARS ($10). SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT THE EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, AND AS SUCH THE ABOVE
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF ANY PART OF THE EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET
FORTH ABOVE IS UNENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, Swaggable, ITS CLIENTS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, LLC
MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
FURTHER, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL Swaggable BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTIONS WHATSOEVER BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE
OF THE SERVICE OR INVOLVEMENT IN A PROGRAM OR TASK. MEMBERS ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OF Swaggable, AND Swaggable, WHILE

Swaggable Privacy Policy
Swaggable LLC (“Swaggable”, “Company”, “we” or “us”), the operator of
this web site, is committed to preserving the privacy of those who visit our www.Swaggable.com website (“Site”).
Swaggable has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to helping you better understand
what information we collect about you and what may happen to that information during your visit to the Site. This
Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected at this Site. By using or accessing the Site, you signify your
assent to our Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE
SITE.
Information Collected
When using the Site, in order to utilize some of the services, you may be asked to provide, or you may choose to upload,
certain personally identifiable information about yourself ("Personal Information"). Personal Information can
include your name, occupation, photo, e-mail address, address, phone number(s), Facebook profile, Twitter handle,
selected interests, or date of birth. Please note that Personal Information may also include personally identifiable
information you voluntarily provide when you take a survey or a poll or enter a contest, sweepstakes or other promotion.
In addition, we may also collect non-personally identifiable information, such as IP host address, pages viewed, browser
type and other data, and may aggregate any Personal Information collected, such as demographic information, in a manner
which does not identify any one person ("Aggregate Information"). Survey answers and influencer scores that
are not connected to Personal Information may also constitute Aggregate Information.
Information Usage
We may share your Personal Information with our clients, affiliates, technical consultants, third party auditors or
other third parties,under confidentiality agreements, who compile the Aggregate Information, make our Site available,
enhance its functionality or provide associated services and/or who process your orders and/or deliver content, samples,
supplies, products, or services. For example, we may share your Personal Information with a vendor to fulfill any
incentive or reward which you have elected to receive and that vendor may forward your email address to a third party to
redeem any rewards. You may opt-out at any time in accordance with the "Terminating Membership" section below.
We may use your Aggregate Information to do such things as operate our Site, enhance our Site, and for market research
purposes. We may share Aggregate Information with our clients, affiliates, charity partners and other third parties for
advertising, promotional and other purposes. Individual answers from you to questions within Programs marked as “confidential”
may be shared with our affiliates, clients and business partners but those answers will not be labeled with, or linked
to, your Personal Information.
Your user name, city, Swaggable profile photo, publicly declared preferences(those “wants” not otherwise
made specifically private), and some of your activity may be shared with other Swaggable users within the Site,
including without limitation publication in a live feed of ongoing activities and leader boards. You may also see such
information related to other Swaggable Members when logged into the Site.
On the Site, Swaggable, its clients and some of its business partners will have the ability to contact You
regarding “Product Invites” or Rewards for which you qualify. We hereby disclaim all responsibility and
liability should a client contact You directly by virtue of your posting of Personal Information on the Site in a
section of the Site where it was not explicitly requested, or outside the Site, which is viewable and/or accessible by
clients of Swaggable (e.g., contact information listed within feedback you provide, information on your Facebook profile
liked to your Swaggable account, an email address you provided directly to one of Swaggable’s clients).
We will never rent or sell your Personal Information to any third party without your consent. Please note that we
reserve the right to and may disclose Personal Information about you in response to (a) requests from local, state or
federal law enforcement officials; (b) any judicial, administrative or similar proceeding or order, such as subpoena;
(c) if required by law; or (d) to investigate suspected fraud, harassment, physical threats, or other violations of any
law, rule or regulation, the Site rules or policies, or the rights of third parties or to investigate any suspected
conduct which we deem improper. Please also note that we do reserve the right to transfer your personally identifiable
information and other information to our successors in business and purchasers of site assets. Information obtained in
connection with the Site may be intermingled with and used by us in conjunction with information obtained through
sources other than the Site, including both offline and online sources.
Registration
In order to use the Site, a member must first provide the information requested on the "Registration" page.
During registration, a member may be required to provide their contact information (including, but not limited to, name,
e-mail address, and postal address), Facebook user information, additional psychographic information, and information
needed for delivering Swaggable Product Invitations once accepted. This information is used to notify the member about
new Product Invitations to which they qualify, Swaggable Product Invitations, and changes in Swaggable offerings. In
addition, we may ask members to provide legitimate mailing addresses. Proof of address is required in order to guard
Swaggable from fraudulent activities. This information is also used for shipping purposes for prizes redeemed by
members.
Your Account
Once you become a member of Swaggable, you will receive a password and an account. You are responsible for maintaining
the confidentiality of your password and account, as well as your Facebook username and password which may be used
through Facebook Connect. Therefore, we do not recommend that you disclose such password or account information to any
third parties. If you choose to share this information with third parties, you are responsible for all actions taken
with your account information and password and therefore should review each third party's privacy policy. If you lose
control of your account password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may
be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any
reason, you should immediately change your password. Furthermore, you are entirely responsible for any and all
activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify Swaggable of any unauthorized use of your
account or any other breach of security known to you.
Cookies
The Site uses cookies to keep track of your activity on the Site and enhance your experience on the Site. We also use
cookies to save your account information and password. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "help"
portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may
not be able to access certain areas or functions on the Site.
Clickstream
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each web site you visit. This information, which
is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data", can be collected and stored by a web site's server.
Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the web site from
which you linked to the Site. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of Aggregate Information to anonymously
determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Site, how visitors navigate throughout the Site and how we
may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Site and our
services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous and aggregate, and will not intentionally contain
any Personal Information.
Security
Swaggable will not be liable for disclosures of your Personal Information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized
acts of third parties. We have undertaken all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized Internet access to
visitor data retained in our servers, however, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, Swaggable cannot ensure
or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or any information provided online, and you do so at your
own risk. You must accept all risks associated with any data transmission, including the risk that their personal
information may be intercepted in transit. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords
and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Product Invitations and e-mail
Established members will occasionally receive e-mails containing information regarding new Product Invitations,
Swaggable Offers, and directives from Swaggable if they have opted-in. "Opted-in" means the member has
approved certain e-mails to be sent to them from Swaggable. Established members may opt-out of these emails by updating
their notifications on their profile settings page.
Swaggable Site and Service Announcements
Under certain circumstances Swaggable may need to contact specific or all members in order to make an important
announcement about the Site or service changes. Members are not able to unsubscribe, or "opt-in/opt-out" of
these announcements because they may contain very important information regarding their accounts. Before these measures
are taken, however, Swaggable will post information regarding changes directly on the Site. Swaggable reserves the right
to contact members to correct account errors or to supply important information Swaggable deems relevant.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
Swaggable members are able to change their personal information at any time by editing the information entered on their
profile page, or by removing Swaggable as a “Facebook Connect Application.”
Protection for Children Age/Residency Requirements
This Site is not intended for users under the age of 13, and we have no intention of collecting Personal Information
from children under the age of 13. Where appropriate, we take reasonable measures to inform children not to submit such
information to our Site. If a child has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will use all reasonable
efforts to delete such information from our database. You must be at least 13 years old, be a United States resident,
and have a valid e-mail address to register on Swaggable. Registration and participation in a Product Invitation is open
to individuals only (no corporations or other legal entities). Each individual who registers on Swaggable or
participates in a Product Invitation is responsible for providing the information requested and for updating any such
information to insure its accuracy. Receipt of inaccurate or misleading information will adversely affect the ability of
Swaggable to operate a Product Invitation and provide services to clients required by members and participants. In this
regard, Swaggable reserves the right to terminate a member's membership in Swaggable or participation in a Program if
misleading or intentionally incorrect personal information is provided. Swaggable reserves the right to modify or
discontinue a Product Invitation Program at any time with or without notice to members. Swaggable will not be liable to
any member or any third party should Swaggable exercise its right to modify or discontinue a Program or membership.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our Site may contain links to other web sites, including our affiliated or co-branded web sites. Other web sites may
also reference or link to our Site. These "other" domains (web sites) are not controlled by Swaggable. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Site to read the privacy policies of each and every web site that
collects personally identifiable information. We do not endorse, screen or approve, and are not responsible for the
privacy practices or content of such other web sites. Visiting these other web sites is at your own risk.
Export of Data

Information to the USA and its storage and use as specified in this policy.

the Site is subject to change without notice. In addition, this Privacy Policy, including but not limited to, how we use
your Personal Information, may be changed by us at any time without prior notice. We will make such changes by posting
them here. You should check this page for such changes frequently. Your continued access of the Site after such changes
are made conclusively demonstrates your acceptance of those changes. You may "opt out" of this Site,
including, but not limited to, receiving communications from us and/or sharing your Personal Information with us, at any
time. In Order to "opt out" please see the "Terminating Membership" section in this Policy. Please
note that we are not responsible for removing your Personal Information from the lists of any third party who has
previously been provided your information in accordance with this policy.
