Lead Buyer Terms and Conditions

Lead Purchase Agreement
This Lead Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") is between Round Sky, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Round Sky”), and the undersigned party (Lead Buyer). Each of Round Sky and Lead Buyer are from time to time referred to herein as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

WHEREAS, Round Sky is the owner and developer of websites where consumers can obtain information for quotes related to a variety of products; and

WHEREAS, Round Sky and Lead Buyer desire to create a relationship whereby consumers visiting the website operated by Round Sky (each a “Lead” and collectively, the “Leads”) may be transferred to a Lead Buyer-owned website or server (the transfer process is hereinafter called the “Lead Generation”). For purposes of this Agreement, "Lead Generation" also includes the acquisition of Leads by Lead Buyer pursuant to Round Sky's pay-per-click program, if so elected by Lead Buyer. Round Sky will sell eligible leads to Lead Buyer, through a real-time lead transfer integration interface, the documents related to which have been, or will be, provided by Lead Buyer to Round Sky separately.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual consideration, promises, representations, and covenants set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Any term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning specified below:

1. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person.
2. “Consumer” means any individual who submits a request for information form in connection with credit to be used primarily for personal, family or household purposes.
3. “Consumer Information” means the information obtained from a Consumer who submits a request for information form.
4. “Personal/Installment Loan Lender” means Lead Buyer or a third party who purchases Leads from Lead Buyer with the intent of (i) providing an extension of credit to a Consumer (a "Personal/Installment Loan"), or (ii) providing a Consumer with services related to the modification, consolidation, settlement or abatement of, or relief from, the Consumer's existing financial obligations ("Settlement Services"), or (iii) solely to the extent permitted herein, reselling such Leads to other Personal/Installment Loan Lenders or providers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a "Personal/Installment Loan" includes (i) a loan secured by a vehicle title or other collateral, and (ii) a merchant cash advance, where the merchant is a Consumer.
5. “Lead” means Consumer Information obtained from a request for information form.
6. “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, governmental body or other entity.
7. “Request for information form” means Round Sky’s Personal/Installment Loan request form.

2. Purpose and Scope; Exclusive Leads. During the Contract Term (as defined below), Round Sky agrees to provide Lead Buyer with exclusive Leads for Consumers who meet Lead Buyer’s account parameters. Lead Buyer may re-sell such Leads to Personal/Installment Loan Lenders or to other providers of Settlement Services, subject in all respects to the limitations and restrictions on such sale set forth herein. Lead Buyer agrees to pay Round Sky for such Leads as provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Round Sky does not guarantee that any minimum quantity of Leads will be provided; and (ii) all Leads are provided on an exclusive basis and solely for Lead Buyer’s permitted use hereunder. Round Sky will sell eligible leads to Lead Buyer through a real-time lead transfer integration interface, the documents related to which have been, or will be, provided by Lead Buyer to Round Sky separately. If Lead Buyer identifies any purchased Lead as fraudulent or otherwise invalid, Lead Buyer must provide Round Sky with written notice via email that identifies each Lead asserted to be fraudulent or otherwise invalid, includes the factual basis for Lead Buyer's assertion, and provides information recorded from the Lead (including date submitted, IP address, Lead ID, and the contact information submitted in the Lead [not including social security number]). Lead Buyer may scrub these Leads within three (3) days after the end of the date for which the Lead was sold to Lead Buyer, if approved by Round Sky. If Lead Buyer does not scrub a lead within three (3) days after the Lead sale, after having notified Round Sky of the basis for that invalidation, the Lead shall be considered valid and will be billed. Sold leads that are later denied by a merchant account provider or a bank because the bank account was over its credit limit or lacked sufficient funds shall not be considered fraudulent or invalid Leads unless the Lead otherwise included materially false or fraudulent information.

3. Lead Buyer’s Responsibilities and Obligations.

1. Use of Leads. Lead Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lead Buyer may use the leads purchased from Round Sky for the sole purpose of lawfully providing the Consumer with a Personal/Installment Loan product or Settlement Services and no other unrelated products of any kind.
2. Ownership of Leads. As between the parties, Lead Buyer will retain exclusive ownership of all Leads acquired from Round Sky hereunder under this or another exclusive agreement between the Parties.
3. Marketing to Leads. Marketing of any kind, including but not limited to cell phone marketing (text messages), email, or physical mailing, to Leads that Lead Buyer does not purchase and pay for is expressly prohibited. If Round Sky discovers such marketing by Lead Buyer, Lead Buyer will be billed for every Lead that Round Sky submitted to Lead Buyer at the highest possible monetary valued integration tier at which the Lead(s) in question were submitted.
4. Change in Structure or Licensing Status. Lead Buyer shall promptly notify Round Sky, in the manner set forth in Section 14(c) below, of significant changes in its structure or licensing status. Significant changes include without limitation instances where Lead Buyer: (i) changes its name, location, address, corporate structure or ownership; (ii) becomes insolvent; (iii) takes any steps to cease operations; (iv) surrenders or otherwise relinquishes any applicable state license, certification or registration; (v) has any license or registration suspended, revoked or denied; (vi) is under federal, state, or local investigation for possible violation of any law, regulation, or licensing or regulatory scheme; or (vii) is named in any order, judgment, or decree of any court or any governmental agency or administrator, temporarily or permanently, enjoining Lead Buyer and/or any of its agents, principals, owners, or employees from engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice.

4. Lender Interface and Lead Buyer's Responsibility for Filter Updates.

1. Interface. Round Sky will provide Lead Buyer with access to its real-time filter interface where Lead Buyer can update filters, schedule outages for holidays, edit hourly/daily lead caps and such other features as Round Sky determines, in its sole discretion, to make available.
2. Non-Update Policy. Round Sky will not be under any obligation to: (a) update filters for Lead Buyer outside of setting initial filters for Lead Buyer prior to going live; (b) schedule outages for Lead Buyer for holidays; (c) update hourly/daily lead caps; or (d) perform any updates to Lead Buyer's filters that are readily available in the Round Sky interface. To the contrary, Lead Buyer will be responsible of performing all such updates and assumes responsibility for lack of any such updates even if Lead Buyer has alerted Round Sky to any such changes via email, phone, or any other means.
3. Lead Buyer's Responsibility. Lead Buyer will be responsible of doing all filter, lead caps, scheduling outages, and other such updates and will take full responsibility for lack of any such updates even if Lead Buyer has alerted Round Sky to any such changes via email, phone, or any other means.
4. Use of Interface Tutorial. Round Sky has made available a video inside the interface showing a tutorial as far as how to use the Round Sky Interface. Round Sky will also offer assistance in educating Lead Buyer as far as how to use the interface within the first seven (7) days of Lead Buyer having access to the interface. After the first seven (7) days, Round Sky will be privileged to assume that Lead Buyer is fully capable of using the interface and has no questions.
5. Access to Interface. Round Sky will make every attempt to have the interface be available and accessible 24/7/365, but technology does fail, and should the interface experience an outage, Round Sky will make every effort to honor and postdate any planned filter changes by the Lead Buyer while the Round Sky interface experiences said outage.

5. Price and Payment Terms. The initial cost per lead ("CPL") for the Leads to be provided hereunder will be set forth between Round Sky and Lead Buyer, prior to leads being sent from Round Sky to Lead Buyer. Further, Lead Buyer may provide Round Sky with a log-in to Lead Buyer's publisher interface, where Round Sky can review Lead Buyer's calculation of the payments owing to Round Sky for the transactions to be conducted hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Round Sky's calculation of the fees payable to Round Sky hereunder shall be binding on the parties (absent fraud or manifest error). Further, Round Sky will invoice Lead Buyer on a weekly schedule for the leads billable in the preceding week. Any such invoice may be rendered by electronic mail or other electronic means; and, if so rendered, shall be deemed received upon dispatch. Any dispute or objection by Lead Buyer to such invoices or fees payable for the immediately preceding week must be made in writing and received by Round Sky within three (3) business days thereafter. Lead Buyer will make payment to Round Sky for the undisputed portion of each account statement for the immediately preceding week on net/7 terms, so that payment is received by Round Sky on or before seven (7) days after the invoice was sent by Round Sky. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts due from Lead Buyer in connection with Round Sky's pay-per-click program shall be invoiced and payable weekly on Monday; and Lead Buyer shall pay the amounts due for pay-per-click Leads immediately upon rendition of the invoice therefor. All past due amounts shall accrue interest until paid at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by Nevada law. Round Sky reserves the right to discontinue lead delivery to Lead Buyer in the event that an invoice is past due. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Lead Buyer is providing Round Sky with information concerning Lead Buyer's non-consumer, business checking account or non-consumer, business credit or debit card (the "Account"). Lead Buyer authorizes Round Sky to electronically debit the Account (and any successor account hereafter designed by Lead Buyer, which must be a non-consumer, business account) and, if necessary, to electronically debit or credit the Account to correct previous under- or overcharges. This is an authorization for recurring charges in varying amounts substantially as set forth in Round Sky's invoices. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until Lead Buyer notifies Round Sky that it wishes to revoke this authorization, which Lead Buyer may do by giving written notice to Round Sky of such revocation in the manner set forth in paragraph 14(c) below. No such revocation will be effective until the tenth (10th) day following actual receipt by Round Sky of such notice. Lead Buyer represents and warrants to Round Sky that: (a) Lead Buyer has retained a copy of this authorization (by printing out a copy of this Agreement or by storing a copy of this Agreement on Lead Buyer's computer); (b) Lead Buyer is not a "consumer" within the meaning of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and its implementing Regulation E, and any comparable state or other applicable law; and (c) in any event, the proceeds from Round Sky to Lead Buyer shall not be used for any personal, family or household purposes.

6. Lead Buyer’s Compliance with Applicable Law. Lead Buyer represents, warrants and covenants that: (a) it has reviewed all applicable state, federal, Personal/Installment loan specific laws or and regulations governing the relationship between Lead Buyer and any Consumer or Lead acquired pursuant to this Agreement and including, but not limited to: The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Safeguards Rule, the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA,” including its implementing Regulation B), the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (including its implementing Regulation E), the Federal Trade Commission Act, the FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule (including without limitation the provisions thereof related to Settlement Services), the Prescreen Opt-Out Notice Rule, and the Red Flags Rule, and further represents, warrants and covenants that it is currently in compliance therewith and will continue to comply therewith in connection with any Consumer with whom Lead Buyer engages in any transaction as a result of Round Sky’s services; (b) it is duly licensed, authorized and certified by all applicable governmental regulatory authorities to operate its business as it is now conducted and, that in connection with any business transacted with any Consumer with whom Lead Buyer engages in any transaction as a result of Round Sky’s services under this Agreement, (i) it shall acquire and maintain appropriate licenses, authorizations, and certifications from all applicable governmental regulatory authorities required to perform its obligations hereunder, including those required under the applicable state law of the Consumer's residence, and (ii) no such transaction shall be illegal, void or voidable, in whole or in any part, under the law of the state of the Consumer's residence; (c) all representations made on its respective website regarding its products or services shall be truthful, lawful and not misleading; and (d) it will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the security of its website and all Lead information, including, without limitation, as required by Section 7 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lead Buyer will comply with all applicable requirements of Section 701(d) (6) of ECOA and Section 615(a) of FCRA relating to the delivery of adverse action notices. If Round Sky has purchased any Lead from a third party ("Lead Seller") that imposes additional or different compliance requirements on Round Sky, Round Sky will notify Lead Buyer of such additional or different requirements, and, upon such notification, Lead Buyer will comply with such additional or different compliance requirements of Lead Seller. Lead Buyer shall abide by the principles set forth in the Safe Harbor Act, and provide the safeguards required thereby with respect to the Consumers', or its Affiliates' customers', private personal information transferred from the European Union countries to the United States. Lead Buyer shall create and maintain an information security program that meets the requirements set forth in the Safeguards Rule in order to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information; (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records; and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the Consumer.

Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all of the trade secrets and other non-public business or financial information, business methods, procedures, know-how, contact data and other information of every kind that relates to the business of either Party that is disclosed by either Party to the other, in any form or medium, whether or not marked or identified as confidential at the time of disclosure, and includes, without limitation, financial information, strategies, plans for potential expansion and marketing initiatives and all other non-public information of a Party.

3. Non-public Personal Information. “Nonpublic Personal Information” has the meaning set forth in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, 15 U.S.C. Section 6801 et seq., as amended, and applicable federal and state laws and regulations implementing the said act (collectively, “Privacy Laws”).

A Party will not be obligated to protect Confidential Information to the extent such information: (a) is publicly known other than through a wrongful act or omission of the receiving Party; (b) was available to or already known by the recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the other Party; (c) is developed by the recipient independently of any information acquired from the other Party; (d) becomes available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis from a third Party, provided that the recipient has no reason to know that the third Party is or may be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the disclosing Party; or (e) is disclosed pursuant to a court order or the requirement of any governmental authority (in which case the recipient will promptly notify the disclosing Party of any such order or requirement, and cooperate, at the disclosing Party’s expense, in any effort to obtain a protective order from the issuing court or governmental authority limiting disclosure and use of the information). Each Party will, immediately upon request or the termination of this Agreement, return or destroy (at the disclosing Party’s request) all Confidential Information of the other Party and all copies and embodiments thereof.

7.3 Non-Competition. During the Term (as hereinafter defined) of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Lead Buyer agrees that it will not knowingly use confidential disclosures made by Round Sky to Lead Buyer to solicit or accept any business from other lead buyers or Lead Sellers who are working with Round Sky or have worked with Round Sky in the past.

7.4 Lead Information

1. Each Party will exercise all due care with respect to Lead Information and the collection, handling, delivery, processing and transmission thereof, including, and without limitation, to confidentiality, security, Privacy Laws, and any consent or authorization necessary to use such information as contemplated hereby.
2. Each Party will maintain appropriate physical, technical and organizational measures to protect all Lead Information against accidental loss or unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Each Party acknowledges that the level of security that is appropriate will depend on the sensitivity of the information, the risks represented by the processing of the Lead Information, the harm that is likely to result from a breach of security, industry standards and applicable law.
3. Each Party will notify the other immediately in writing of any Security Breach. Each Party will provide all necessary and reasonable cooperation to the other to comply with any laws applicable to such Security Breach, including, without limitation, the notification of all Leads who may have a right to be informed of the Security Breach and the investigation and prosecution of such Security Breach.
4. Either Party may disclose Lead Information as required by any applicable law, regulation, rule, court or administrative order or similar legal requirements. In the event of any such required disclosure, the disclosing Party will, to the extent permissible under applicable law, notify the other in advance of such disclosure and cooperate in any effort to minimize the extent of such disclosure and maintain the confidentiality of such Lead Information.

7.5 Revisions. The parties in good faith agree to revisit and amend this Section from time to time as necessary to comply with changes to relevant laws and any other relevant changes in the industry generally.

Thereafter, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of the same length as the Initial Term (each, a “Renewal Term” and, together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) until the Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section 8. Either Party may terminate the Agreement upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to the other Party at any time and for any reason. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the following provisions will survive any termination of the Agreement and continue in full force and effect thereafter: Sections 5 through 14.

9. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Parties. Each Party hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the other Party that: (a) it has the full power and authority to enter into the Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder; (b) when executed and delivered by such Party, the Agreement will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms and conditions; and (c) it will comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules, and regulations applicable to such party’s performance under the Agreement, including without limitation Round Sky's compliance with the CANSPAM Act of 2003 and all applicable intellectual property laws with respect to Round Sky's lead generation activities, and including without limitation Lead Buyer's compliance with any additional or different compliance requirements of Lead Seller. Further, Round Sky represents, warrants and covenants to Lead Buyer that the Consumer associated with each Lead sold or distributed hereunder, at the time of such Consumer's submission of an Request for information form, (i) consented to the distribution by Round Sky of such Consumer's Consumer Information to Personal/Installment Loan Lenders for the purpose of contacting the Consumer and providing a requested quotation or obtaining additional information for the Personal/Installment loan product or Settlement Services, as applicable, and (ii) consented to each such Personal/Installment Loan Lender confirming the Consumer's Consumer Information through the use of a consumer report, expressly including a credit report and, as applicable, a bank account record history.

10. Restrictions on Marketing Practices

10.1 No Text Message Marketing Covenant.

1. Round Sky does not permit, condone, or otherwise authorize any Lead Buyer, or its Affiliates or Indirect Affiliates (any entity working with, or for the benefit of Lead Buyer in any way), or other third party to send text messages to purchased Leads for campaigns unrelated to the consumer requested Personal/Installment loan service. Neither Lead Buyer nor any person who acquires lead information from Lead Buyer shall engage in any such marketing by text messaging.

Lead Buyer hereby understands and agrees that the TCPA makes it unlawful to use any automatic telephone dialing system to make any call or send any text message to any telephone number assigned to a cellular telephone service, unless the call is made for emergency purposes or with the prior express consent of the called party. See 47 USC § 227(b) (1) (a); 47 C.F.R. § 1200(a). Lead Buyer further understands and agrees that the TCPA provides private parties the right to sue any such party responsible for violating its text messaging rules.

11.Indemnification. Each Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all third-party actions, claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or related to any alleged breach of this Agreement (including without limitation any alleged breach of any representation or warranty set forth herein or violation of applicable law, and including any alleged breach by Lead Buyer of the lead seller's terms, if not Round Sky) by such Party. In addition, Lead Buyer shall indemnify the lead seller against Claims, including without limitation Claims arising from Lead Buyer's asserted breach of additional or different compliance requirements of the lead seller. The lead seller is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce these indemnification provisions in its own name. The indemnifying Party's indemnification obligations are conditioned upon the indemnified Party: (i) giving prompt notice to the indemnifying Party of the claim or action; (ii) granting to the indemnifying Party of the right to participate reasonably in the defense or settlement of the claim or action (except that the indemnified Party’s prior written approval will be required for any settlement that reasonably can be expected to require a material affirmative obligation of, result in any ongoing material liability to or materially prejudice or detrimentally impact the indemnified Party in any way); and (iii) providing reasonable cooperation and, at the indemnifying Party’s request and expense, assistance in the defense or settlement of the claim or action.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY INDEMNITY CLAIMS, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER LEAD BUYER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
