You and Citizen are each referred to individually herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” As used in this Agreement, the term “User” means You, the person who enters into this Agreement in order to use or access the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas and/or any Riiiver Content. If You are an individual working for a company, then the term “User” includes You and Your company, and You and Your company agree, jointly and severally, to be bound by this Agreement. You represent that You are fully competent, and have all authority necessary, to enter into this Agreement, including on behalf of Your company, if applicable.

If You do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, You should not register for a Riiiver account and You must not (and You are not granted any right to) access or use the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas or Riiiver Content in any manner. This Agreement is in addition to the terms and conditions contained in the Terms of Use, located at https://riiiver.com/en/terms/, as may be updated from time to time by Citizen. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Use, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meaning given in Section 15 or elsewhere in this Agreement. If You violate the Terms of Use it will also be a breach of this Agreement.

(a)In order to access the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas and Riiiver Content, You are required to register for a Riiiver account and maintain current, up-to-date registration information, which may include a valid email address, registration information for mobile phones, and other contact information.

(b)Citizen may at any time, in its sole discretion, restrict or limit access to one or more sections or features of the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas or Riiiver Content to certain Users. Citizen may require acceptance of additional terms and conditions before You may access, use or upload with the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas or certain Riiiver Content. Any such additional terms become part of this Agreement with respect to the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas or Riiiver Content to which they apply. In the event of a conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency between additional terms and any other terms set forth in this Agreement, the additional terms will prevail, but only with respect to the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas and Riiiver Content to which they apply.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Citizen hereby grants You a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, non-transferable license (without the right to sublicense) during the Term to (i) access and use the Platform and Riiiver Content, (ii) access and use Pieces, (iii) combine Pieces into Iiideas, and (iv) use Iiideas in accordance with this Agreement and solely for User’s own personal, non-commercial use, unless you are also party to a Developer Agreement with Citizen.

(b)Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no license, whether express or implied, under any Intellectual Property Rights of Citizen is granted to You. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, You must not: (i) use the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, or Riiiver Content in any manner inconsistent with or not expressly authorized by this Agreement; (ii) create or use any Iiideas for any medical purposes; (iii) modify, decompile, reverse engineer, deconstruct, decrypt, or disassemble the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, or any Riiiver Content or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or any algorithm, process or procedure contained within or provided in the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, or Riiiver Content; (iv) sublicense, rent, sell, lease, loan, provide, distribute, disclose, supply, time share, commercially exploit or otherwise transfer the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, or Riiiver Content; (v) circumvent or attempt to circumvent the authentication or security measures of the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, Riiiver Content, or other systems, networks or services of Citizen or its affiliates; (vi) attempt to access or interface with the Platform or other Citizen system, network, or service not specifically authorized under this Agreement; (vii) engage in any illegal or fraudulent activity of any kind or use the Platform, Riiiver Content, Iiideas, or Pieces for unlawful, threatening, harassing, obscene or infringing purposes; (viii) remove, alter, modify or cover any copyright or other proprietary rights notice within the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, or Riiiver Content; or (ix) cause, assist or permit any third party (other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement) to do any of the foregoing.

(a)No right, title or interest in or to any Intellectual Property Rights in the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, or Riiiver Content made available through the Platform is transferred to You except for the limited licenses described in this Agreement.

With respect to Pieces, the Developer Agreement will apply if the Parties have separately executed the Developer Agreement.

(b)Citizen shall own all right, title, and interest in and to any modifications, derivatives, combinations, improvements, enhancements, or extensions of or to any Pieces, Iiideas, Riiiver Content including all Intellectual Property Rights therein (“Improvements”) regardless of which Party created such Improvements, save that with respect to Pieces, the Developer Agreement shall apply if the Parties have separately executed a Developer Agreement. You hereby irrevocably assign to Citizen all of Your rights, title and interest in and to such Improvements and agree to execute such documents, render such assistance and take such other actions as Citizen may reasonably request, at Citizen’s expense, to apply for, register, perfect and protect Citizen’s rights in the Improvements.

(a)If You produce an Iiidea and desire to have Citizen publish and distribute the Iiidea as part of its marketplace and/or directory of Iiideas (the “Marketplace”) on the Platform, You shall submit the Iiiidea to Citizen to allow Citizen to review, test, and consider the Iiiidea for approval for the Marketplace.

(b)You will fully test each Iiidea prior to publication or distribution in the Marketplace. You are solely responsible for all costs related to production of Iiideas, including modifications to meet Citizen’s requirements.

(c)Approval of the Iiidea may be granted or withheld in Citizen’s sole discretion. Approval does not constitute an endorsement by Citizen or any of its affiliates of the Iiidea, or create any obligation or commitment of Citizen to include such Iiidea in the Marketplace, or to otherwise distribute, publicize, promote, market or otherwise endorse such Iiidea. You may not make public statements that state or indicate that an Iiidea is affiliated with, certified by or otherwise endorsed by Citizen without Citizen’s prior written consent, which may be withheld by Citizen in its sole discretion.

Citizen reserves the right and may at its sole discretion, at any time, charge for access or use of the Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, or Riiiver Content. Your only recourse if You do not agree to pay such charges will be to terminate this Agreement or not use the applicable Platform, Pieces, Iiideas, and/or Riiiver Contents.
