This Propeller Premier Brand Rewards Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Brand Partner and Propeller Enterprises ("Propeller"), a California benefit corporation, effective as of the date this Agreement is signed by both parties ("Effective Date").
Brand Partner agrees to participate as a rewards partner in Propeller Premier, Propeller's monthly and annual donor membership program. Propeller Premier members ("Propellers" or "Members") are active supporters in influencer- and cause-led communities. Members agree to the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Official Rules posted on Propeller's official website. These Members earn points by completing cause-driven actions on the Propeller platform and redeem those points for rewards provided by Brand Partner.
Brand Partner is joining as a Launch Partner - a small, curated group of brands selected for cultural alignment and invited to be part of this program from day one.
This Agreement is effective for twelve (12) months from the Effective Date ("Initial Term"). As set forth in Section 8, either party may terminate with thirty (30) days written notice. The Agreement will terminate at the end of the Initial Term, unless both parties provide written notice of agreement to renew for successive 12-month periods at least 30 days prior to the end of the then-current term.

Propeller agrees to:
Parties retain all right, title, and interest to their respective trademarks, logos, trade names, service marks, and all related intellectual property and goodwill (collectively, "Marks"), and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as transferring or assigning any ownership rights in Marks to the other party or any third party.
Each party grants the other a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use its Marks only in the form and manner as provided to the other party and solely for the purposes of this Agreement. Any depiction or use of Marks will be consistent with brand guidelines provided to the other party and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Neither party may modify the other's Marks without prior written consent. This license ends upon termination of this Agreement.
Either party may terminate this Agreement:
Upon termination, Brand Partner will fulfill all outstanding reward redemptions submitted prior to the termination date and will not be responsible for providing further rewards submitted after the termination date or to meet the minimum aggregate retail value thresholds set forth in Section 5. Any active Discover Actions will be deactivated by Propeller within five (5) business days of the termination date.
Neither party shall be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages, whether foreseeable or not, arising out of or related to this Agreement. Each party's total liability shall not exceed the total fair market value of rewards provided or committed under this Agreement during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
This provision does not apply to a party's intellectual property violations, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violations of this Agreement relating to Member PII, indemnity obligations, or breaches of confidential information.
Each party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other party, its parent, affiliated companies, and/or their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs and expenses of any nature, including attorneys' fees (collectively, "Losses") arising from or related to such party's: (i) breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations hereunder; (ii) infringement or alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights; (iii) negligence or willful misconduct; and (iv) failure to comply with any laws, rules and/or regulations applicable to its performance under this Agreement.
A party entitled to indemnity shall (a) promptly notify the other party in writing of the indemnified claim, (b) give the other party control of the defense and settlement thereof, provided that the indemnified party shall have meaningful input in the defense and settlement, and (c) provide all reasonable assistance, at the indemnifying party's sole expense. The indemnifying party shall not settle or compromise any indemnified claim without the indemnified party's express written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Each party shall maintain the confidentiality of and not disclose to any third party (except to its attorneys, accountants, auditors, and other professional service providers) any Confidential Information concerning the other party or the terms and conditions of this Agreement. "Confidential Information" means any and all information and know-how, in whatever form, that relates to the business, financial condition, technology, or products of a party, reasonably expected to be confidential or proprietary, whether or not marked as "confidential," including the existence and terms of this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not include information that the recipient can demonstrate by reasonable and tangible evidence: (a) was already known to or independently developed by the recipient; (b) has become part of public knowledge without a breach of this Agreement by the recipient; (c) is in the public domain; or (d) is explicitly approved in writing by the discloser for release.
If either party is unable to perform or is precluded from performing its obligations under this Agreement due to any unforeseen circumstances beyond its reasonable control - including fire, riot or civil commotion, act of government, war, failure of performance by a common carrier, failure of technical facilities, adverse weather, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party (a "Force Majeure Event") - then the inability to perform will not be deemed a default, as long as the party declaring the Force Majeure Event makes all reasonable efforts to continue to meet its obligations and notifies the other party as soon as reasonably possible of the nature of the event and when it has terminated.
Propeller shall maintain insurance against losses and damages to persons or property caused by Propeller or any of its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors in performing the services, including (i) Commercial General Liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate; and (ii) Professional Liability with limits not less than $1,000,000 if requested by Brand Partner. Such policies shall name Brand Partner, its parent, affiliates and related companies as additional insured by endorsement on a primary non-contributory basis. Propeller shall also maintain Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by law. All such policies shall include a waiver of subrogation endorsement. Upon written request, Propeller will provide a certificate of insurance and policy endorsements demonstrating the required coverage to Brand Partner.
