H. SPECIFIC-PRODUCT TERMS FOR PROMOTIONS
1. MERCH QPN RETAILER-SPECIFIC PROMOTIONS
Merch Promotions must remain active through the end date of the Campaign. In the event the number of Activations purchased by Advertiser is exhausted before the end date of the Campaign, Quotient may, solely to the extent necessary for the Merch Promotion to remain active, increase the number of Activations purchased without obtaining Advertiser’s approval in advance. Such increase will be set forth in an IO change order, and is deemed accepted by Advertiser.
2. REBATES
- Quotient verifies whether a Rebate has been redeemed properly by a consumer through the purchase of the requisite units of the promoted products specified on the Rebate (“Promoted Products”) by either: (i) through UPC-level data that such store has agreed to provide to Quotient (a “Participating Retailer”); or (ii) by a shopper’s submission of a receipt to Quotient for the purchase. For each Rebate Campaign set forth in an executed IO, Quotient will distribute the Rebates for the Promoted Products to shoppers during the Campaign Period set forth in the IO, to target the Activations quantity set forth in the IO if the Campaign is provided under quantity-based pricing (i.e., Activations). Quotient will also calculate and pay out or otherwise fulfill the Rewards on the face value of the Rebates that have been properly redeemed for Qualified purchases (“Rebate Value Fee”). “Activation” for a Rebate means the action taken by shoppers to initiate qualification for a Promotion including, but not limited to, clicking or tapping on certain areas of the Promotion on banner ads, web sites, mobile applications or other devices.
- In accordance with the applicable IO, Quotient or its agent will invoice Advertiser or its agent for the Rebate Value Fees for redeemed Rebates, Rebate Campaign Fees, Rebate Processing Fee, and Clearing Fees (if any, as set forth in the IO), and owed for the period covered by the invoice (each, an “Invoice”)”. Rebate Processing Fees and Rebate Value Fees included in an IO are estimates only. Advertiser is responsible for paying for the full amount of redemptions received during the Campaign Period in accordance with Quotient billing terms, without limits on such redemption amount. “Clearing Fee” means the clearing fee payable by Advertiser to Quotient for the validation and processing of each Qualified Purchase when applicable. In accordance with the IO payment terms, Advertiser will pay to Quotient or its agent, as applicable: (i) the Redemptions, (ii) the Rebate Campaign Fees, (iii) Rebate Processing Fees, (iv) Clearing Fees (if any), (v) Rebate Value Fees, and (vi) any Adjustments (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified in an IO, each Invoice for Redemptions, Rebate Processing and Clearing Fees will be due within 10 days after the date of Invoice. Advertiser will reimburse Quotient for any reasonable sums expended in connection with the collection of sums not paid when due, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
- In the event a shopper claims that he or she is entitled to, but did not receive, a cashback payment, Quotient may, at its reasonable discretion, pay the cashback to such shopper (an “Adjustment”). The maximum amount of unsubstantiated Adjustment for each Campaign will not exceed one percent (1%) of the aggregate amount of Rebate Value Fees for the Campaign. Periodically, Quotient or its agent will also invoice Advertiser for Adjustments reimbursable to Quotient in accordance with the terms described above.
- If the Campaign is provided under quantity-based pricing (i.e., Activations), once the number of Activations for a Rebates Campaign reaches 100 fewer than the number specified in the IO, if any, Quotient will turn off the Campaign. Accordingly, shoppers who visit the Campaign website or mobile app after that time will not be able to perform an Activation of the Rebate. However, shoppers who are on a Campaign website or mobile app at the time the cap is reached will be able to view and opt into the Rebate until their Rebates Campaign (via website or mobile app) session terminates.
- For each Rebate Campaign, Advertiser will provide Quotient a list of UPCs of Advertiser’s Promoted Products. Quotient may share the list of UPCs of Advertiser’s Promoted Products to Participating Retailers (or their service providers) to enable them to report Promoted Product purchases to Quotient. Quotient will track Qualified Purchases and calculate and pay the cashback due to shoppers. “Qualified Purchase” means, for each Promotion, the shopper (i) performed an Activation; (ii) purchased the Promoted Product(s) during the Campaign Period, and (1) such Activation and purchase are in connection with a Shopper ID at a Participating Retailer, or (2) the purchase is evidenced by a receipt submitted to Quotient by the shopper; and (iii) satisfies any other requirements for such Promotion as set forth in the applicable IO (e.g., purchased a specified number of products). A Shopper ID means a frequency card, loyalty card, phone number or digital ID, credit card, charge card, debit card, or check cashing card or other identifier that is registered with a retailer for purposes of tracking qualified purchases at Participating Retailers. Quotient will provide Advertiser its customary reports for each Rebate Campaign.
a. Continuity Rebates.
Continuity Rebates entitle shoppers, who have purchased a threshold amount (“Threshold Amount”) of Promoted Products during the Campaign Period, to a Rebate. “Activation” of a Continuity Rebate occurs when the consumer selects the Promotion in the coupons.com app or website. Shoppers will either associate the purchase to their Shopper ID at Participating Retailers or provide a receipt of the Qualified Purchase to Quotient.
b. Text 2 Rebate.
Text 2 Rebate is a Rebate which may be obtained by a shopper by sending a text to a phone number or short code specified by Quotient. The phone number may appear on display at Participating Retailers, or on media advertisement campaigns (if and as specified in the IO). To the extent necessary to comply with laws (e.g. the California Consumer Protection Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act), Quotient may include, or cause Advertiser to include, certain statements in Advertiser Materials (e.g. “By texting [KEYWORD] to [SHORTCODE], you electronically authorize coupons.com and its service providers to use automated means to text you at your provided mobile number about this promotion. Consent not required to buy goods.”) Failure to include such statements by Advertiser is a breach of these terms, and Advertiser will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Quotient from any and all claims relating to or arising therefrom.
3. CONTINUITY NATIONAL REBATES
Continuity National Rebates entitle the consumers, who have purchased a threshold amount (“Threshold Amount”) of certain products (“Promoted Products”) at a specified retailer (“Promoted Retailer”) during the Campaign Period, to a reward in the form of a Promotion which can be redeemed against their next purchase at the Promoted Retailer. “Activation” of a Loyalty Promotion occurs when the consumer saves the Loyalty Promotions to their loyalty card.
4. QPN_CPR
For the following products, Quotient will publish the Promotions in the Omnichannels included in the name of the Promotions (i.e. Rebate, Paperless, and/or Print) until the number of Activations across the Omnichannels reaches the number of Activations set forth on the IO, at which time, Quotient will stop publishing the Promotions. Advertisers will pay for the actual Redemptions at the rate set forth in the IO, and any set-up and related fees set forth in the IO.

5. QUOTIENT PROMOTIONS NETWORK REDEMPTION PAPER & PAPERLESS
For Quotient Promotions Network Redemption Paper and Paperless, the rate set forth on the IO for the applicable Service is the rate charged by Quotient for each Promotion redeemed by a consumer. (Any rate that is represented as $0.00 is for Quotient’s tracking purposes only and is not actionable). -Quotient will, prior to the Campaign start date, invoice Advertiser an amount equal to the rate per Redemption multiplied by the number of Redemptions set forth in the IO (“Fees”) as an estimate, and Advertiser will pay such invoice on its payment date. At the end of the Campaign, Quotient will issue a change order if there is a difference between the actual number and the estimated number of Redemptions. If the actual number of Redemptions is more than the estimated number of Redemptions, Advertiser will pay Quotient the difference between the estimated Fees and the actual Fees; if the actual number of Redemptions is less than the estimated number of Redemptions, Quotient will issue Advertiser a refund equal to the difference between the actual Fees and the estimated Fees paid to Quotient.
6. PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE REDEMPTIONS
a. Pay-for-Performance Redemptions
For Quotient Pay-For-Performance Redemptions, the rate set forth on the IO for the applicable Service is the rate charged by Quotient for each Promotion redeemed by a consumer (“Redemption”). (Any rate that is represented as $0.00 is for Quotient’s tracking purposes only and is not actionable). Quotient will, prior to the Campaign start date, invoice Advertiser for the costs and fees associated with Set Ups, and Advertiser will pay such invoice on its payment date. At the beginning of each month, Quotient will invoice Advertiser an amount equal to the rate per Redemption listed on the IO multiplied by the number of Redemptions confirmed as delivered in the prior month, regardless of the estimated number of Redemptions listed on the IO.
b. Pay-for-Performance Redemption Commitment
Under the Pay-For-Performance Redemptions Commitment Product, Quotient will issue an IO for a requisite number of Redemptions at the per Redemption rate stated in the IO, to be used on Quotient’s National Promotions Network during the Campaign Period. At the beginning of each month, Quotient will invoice Advertiser for all Redemptions confirmed as delivered in the prior month. If during the IO Term, the actual number of Redemptions exceeds the number of Redemptions stated on the IO, Quotient will invoice Advertiser, and Advertiser will pay for such overage, at the rate set forth in the IO. If at the end of the Campaign Period, the number of actual Redemptions is lower than the number of Redemptions set forth in the IO, Quotient will invoice Advertiser, and Advertiser will pay Quotient, the difference to be calculated at the rate set forth in the IO. For Example, If Advertiser enters a 12-month IO for 100,000 Redemptions at $1.00 per Redemption, and Advertiser runs Campaigns that achieve 10,000 Redemptions in Month 1, Quotient will invoice Advertiser for $10,000 at the beginning of Month 2. If Advertiser does not run another Campaign during the 12-month IO period, Quotient will invoice Advertiser for the 90,000 unrealized Redemptions at the beginning of month 13. If 90,000 Redemptions are delivered after Month 6 and Advertiser runs a campaign in Month 7 that achieves 20,000 Redemptions, Quotient will invoice $20,000 at the beginning of Month 8, bringing total billing against the IO to $110,000.
7. NON-QUANTITY BASED PRICING: NATIONAL PROMOTION NETWORK BUY and SHOPPER PROMOTION BUY CAMPAIGNS
For the total upfront payment set forth in the IO, Quotient will (i) create the Campaign (as the professional services described below), and (ii) run the National Promotion Buy Campaigns or Shopper Promotion Buy Campaigns in Quotient’s Promotions Network (which includes Quotient’s and its affiliated publishers’ websites and mobile applications), during the Campaign Period. The Campaign will be run as one or more types of promotions in Quotient’s product offering now existing or later introduced by Quotient, including but not limited to QPN, In-lane, Rebates, print-at-home, etc. Fees are due and payable upon signing of the IO and are not refundable. Delay or failure by Advertiser to provide materials and content for the Campaign will be deemed abandonment of the Campaign by Advertiser; no refund will be made in the event of such delay or failure.
For Campaigns that are not associated with a merchandising event, Advertiser may end the Campaign early by notifying Quotient, and Quotient will use commercially reasonable efforts to stop publishing the Campaign within 9 business hours after receiving Advertiser’s request. For clarification purposes, the Fee charged by Quotient will not be reduced in the event described in the preceding sentence.

Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that social media users may use the AR experience to interact with Advertiser Content and post their interactions with the AR Experience on their own social media accounts, and Quotient has no liability related to such posts. Quotient will allocate up to five percent of an Advertiser’s minimum impressions to each included AR Experience. For AR Experiences available on Snapchat, the terms available at https://snap.com/en-US/terms/lens-studio-terms, including any embedded or linked terms, supplement these terms and the term “Snap” is interpreted to include Quotient.
