As applicable, all references to 'Influencer' in this Agreement shall be construed as also referring to 'Lender,' unless (i) Influencer and Lender are explicitly differentiated therein, or (ii) the context dictates otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not merge the distinct responsibilities and rights associated with each role where specifically differentiated herein.
- Payment Terms. Whatnot shall pay Influencer or Lender, as applicable, the fees in accordance with the Engagement Terms. Whatnot shall not be liable for any expenses or costs (including, without limitation, agent fees, commissions, residuals, benefits, taxes, etc.) without Whatnot’s prior written approval.
- Influencer Social Media and Marketing Commitments. Influencer further agrees to visibly maintain the Deliverables on Influencer’s applicable Social Media Sites during the Term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter. Whatnot may provide mutually approved text or content for such posts, which will tag Influencer. Influencer will make all comments and post all content on the Social Media Sites in accordance with applicable law and industry standards, including the FTC Guides. Influencer will also provide Whatnot with reports including data metrics (e.g. screenshots) in connection with Influencer’s Social Media Sites as reasonably requested by Whatnot to assist Whatnot in improving its reach and targeting and for other Whatnot business purposes.
- Approvals. Influencer agrees to submit the Deliverables in accordance with the terms set forth in the Engagement Terms. In addition, Influencer will not post any Deliverable to Influencer’s websites or social channels unless such Deliverable is approved by Whatnot in writing (email being sufficient). If Whatnot believes that any Deliverable is unacceptable because of tone, quality, or other factors, Whatnot may, in its sole discretion, disapprove such Deliverable and communicate the reason to Influencer. Influencer will have two (2) business days to revise such Deliverable and resubmit such Deliverable to Whatnot for re-evaluation/approval, unless the posting schedule requires a shorter time period.

Das Unternehmen kann einen von beiden Seiten freigegebenen Text oder Inhalt für solche Posts zur Verfügung stellen, der den Influencer taggt. Der Influencer wird alle Kommentare und alle Inhalte auf den Social-Media-Seiten in Übereinstimmung mit den Nutzungsbedingungen der Social-Media-Seiten, allen anwendbaren Gesetzen (einschließlich (aber nicht beschränkt auf) alle anwendbaren Werbemarketing- und Datenschutzgesetze) und Industriestandards, einschließlich (aber nicht beschränkt auf) die US FTC Guides (wie in Abschnitt B unten definiert) und die UK CAP und BCAP Codes, die Leitlinien der UK Competition and Markets Authority zu Social Media Endorsements, den ASAI Code on Advertising in Ireland und alle anderen anwendbaren regulatorischen Leitlinien veröffentlichen.

Der Influencer darf sich weder direkt noch indirekt an Handlungen oder Unterlassungen beteiligen, die die Anzahl der Views, Likes, Kommentare oder anderer Aktivitäten auf der Plattform des Unternehmens künstlich erhöhen, sei es durch den Einsatz automatischer Systeme, die den Nutzern Inhalte liefern, oder durch Fake-Accounts, oder die den Betrieb der Plattform des Unternehmens in der vom Unternehmen beabsichtigten Weise beeinträchtigen. | 2. Influencer Social Media and Marketing Commitments. Influencer will provide to Company the services and deliverable(s) set forth in the Statement of Work (the “Deliverables”).

1. Klare und auffällige deutliche der wesentlichen Verbindungen. Der Influencer versteht, dass die Verbindung des Influencers mit dem Unternehmen das Gewicht oder die Glaubwürdigkeit, die Verbraucher den Aussagen des Influencers geben, wesentlich beeinflussen kann. Aus diesem Grund darf der Influencer weder direkt noch indirekt über das Unternehmen posten oder anderweitig darüber sprechen oder sich darauf beziehen, ohne eine solche Verbindung offenzulegen, einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf die Tatsache, dass dem Influencer eine Gegenleistung oder Vorteile gewährt wurden oder er kostenlose Produkte oder Dienstleistungen vom Unternehmen erhalten hat. Eine solche Offenlegung muss klar und deutlich und in unmittelbarer Nähe zu allen Aussagen erscheinen, die der Influencer über das Unternehmen, die Produkte und Dienstleistungen des Unternehmens und/oder die erbrachten Dienstleistungen macht, unabhängig von der Platzbeschränkung des Mediums. Der Influencer erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass der Verbraucher nicht auf einen Link klicken, nach unten scrollen oder mit der Maus darüberfahren muss, um die Offenlegung zu sehen, dass die Offenlegung nicht in einer Liste von Hashtags versteckt ist, dass die Offenlegung nicht in einer Farbe erscheint, die sich schlecht vom Hintergrund abhebt, und dass die Offenlegung vor der Schaltfläche "Klicken, um mehr zu lesen" erscheinen sollte. Wird ein Video erstellt, muss der Hinweis sowohl im Video selbst als auch in der Bildunterschrift unter oder über dem Video oder im Titel des Videos oder in der Miniaturansicht enthalten sein. Wenn der Influencer ein Video streamt, sollte er sicherstellen, dass er sowohl in einem Voice-Over als auch in regelmäßigen Abständen während des Streams einen Hinweis einblendet. Die spezifische Form einer solchen Offenlegung (die z. B. die Hashtags #ad oder #advertisement enthalten kann) wird dem Influencer entweder vom Unternehmen zur Verfügung gestellt oder anderweitig vom Unternehmen genehmigt oder von Influencer und Unternehmen einvernehmlich vereinbart, jedoch immer in Übereinstimmung mit den geltenden Gesetzen und Richtlinien. | 1.

Influencer understands that Influencer’s connection with Company might materially affect the weight or credibility consumers give to Influencer’s statement(s). For this reason, Influencer will not post or otherwise speak about or refer to Company, directly or indirectly, without disclosing such connection, including, without limitation, the fact that Influencer was afforded any consideration, benefits, or received any free products or services from Company. Such disclosure must appear clearly and conspicuously and in close proximity to any statements Influencer makes about Company, Company’s products and services, and/or the services performed regardless of the space limitations of the medium. Influencer agrees that any consumer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link in order to view the disclosure, the disclosure should not be buried in a list of hashtags, the disclosure should not be in a colour that contrasts poorly with the background, and the disclosure should appear before the “click to read more” button. If a video is being created, the disclosure must be included in the video itself and also in the caption below or above the video or in the title of the video or thumbnail. If Influencer is streaming, Influencer should ensure that Influencer both discloses in a voice-over and superimpose a disclosure periodically during the stream. The specific form of any such disclosure (which may for example include the hashtags #ad or #advertisement) will either be provided to Influencer by the Company, or otherwise approved by Company, or mutually agreed upon by Influencer and Company, but at all times in compliance with the applicable law and guidance. | |

Im Allgemeinen sollte der Influencer nur sachliche Aussagen über das Unternehmen oder die Produkte oder Dienstleistungen des Unternehmens machen, von denen er weiß, dass sie wahr sind, und die überprüft werden können. Darüber hinaus dürfen die Aussagen des Influencers keine ausdrücklichen oder stillschweigenden Darstellungen enthalten, die irreführend, falsch oder betrügerisch wären, wenn sie direkt vom Unternehmen gemacht würden. | 2. Influencer’s Honest and Truthful Opinions. Influencer’s statements must reflect Influencer’s honest and truthful opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences. When representing that he/she uses Company’s products or services, Influencer must be a bona fide user of such products or services at the time the statement is given. Generally, Influencer should only make factual statements about Company or Company’s products or services which Influencer knows to be true, and which can be verified. Moreover, Influencer’s statements must not convey any express or implied representation that would be deceptive, a misrepresentation, or fraudulent if made directly by Company. | |

1. Clear and Prominent Disclosure of Material Connections. Influencer understands that Influencer’s connection with Company might materially affect the weight or credibility consumers give to Influencer’s statement(s). For this reason, Influencer will not post or otherwise speak about or refer to Company, directly or indirectly, without disclosing such connection, including, without limitation, the fact that Influencer was afforded any consideration, benefits, or received any free products or services from Company. Such disclosure must appear clearly and conspicuously and in close proximity to any statements Influencer makes about Company, Company’s products and services, and/or the services performed regardless of the space limitations of the medium. Influencer agrees that any consumer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link in order to view the disclosure, the disclosure should not be buried in a list of hashtags, the disclosure should not be in a colour that contrasts poorly with the background, and the disclosure should appear before the “click to read more” button. If a video is being created, the disclosure must be included in the video itself and also in the caption below or above the video or in the title of the video or thumbnail. If Influencer is streaming, Influencer should ensure that Influencer both discloses in a voice-over and superimpose a disclosure periodically during the stream. The specific form of any such disclosure (which may for example include the hashtags #ad or #advertisement) will either be provided to Influencer by the Company, or otherwise approved by Company, or mutually agreed upon by Influencer and Company, but at all times in compliance with the applicable law and guidance. If Influencer has any questions on what it means to be in compliance in the US, Influencer can access the FTC’s FAQ here: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking. | 1.

Si une vidéo est créée, la mention doit être incluse dans la vidéo elle-même, ainsi que dans la légende en dessous ou au-dessus de la vidéo, ou dans le titre de la vidéo ou de la vignette. Si l'Influenceur fait de la diffusion en continu, il doit s'assurer qu'il mentionne l’existence du lien en voix off et qu'il la superpose à plusieurs reprises au cours de la diffusion. La forme spécifique de cette divulgation (qui peut par exemple inclure les hashtags #ad ou #advertisement) sera soit décidée par la Société et communiquée à l'Influenceur, soit approuvée par la Société, soit convenue mutuellement par l'Influenceur et la Société, et sera en tout état de cause conforme avec la loi et les directives applicables.

As applicable, all references to 'Influencer' in this Agreement shall be construed as also referring to 'Lender,' unless (i) Influencer and Lender are explicitly differentiated therein, or (ii) the context dictates otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not merge the distinct responsibilities and rights associated with each role where specifically differentiated herein.
- Payment Terms. Whatnot shall pay Influencer or Lender, as applicable, the fees in accordance with the Engagement Terms. Whatnot shall not be liable for any expenses or costs (including, without limitation, agent fees, commissions, residuals, benefits, taxes, etc.) without Whatnot’s prior written approval.

Influencer will have two (2) business days to revise such Deliverable and resubmit such Deliverable to Whatnot for re-evaluation/approval, unless the posting schedule requires a shorter time period.

EXHIBIT A
Influencer Code of Conduct
Whatnot believes in full transparency and in full, fair, and effective disclosures of material facts relating to Influencer’s relationship with Whatnot. Accordingly, Whatnot requires that Influencer adhere to any applicable laws (including (but not limited to) all applicable advertising marketing law), regulations, industry standards and guidance (including (but not limited to), in the US, the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (“FTC Guides”), available at https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf, and in the UK, the Competition and Markets Authority's guidance on social media endorsements, available at https://www.asa.org.uk/resource/influencers-guide.html) including without limitation, when publishing the Livestreams or any other content about Whatnot or any of Whatnot’s products or services, or when otherwise posting or streaming about or for the benefit of Whatnot or its products or services. Please note that all capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the respective meaning given to them in the Statement of Work or in the Terms and Conditions.
- Clear and Prominent Disclosure of Material Connections. Influencer understands that Influencer’s connection with Whatnot might materially affect the weight or credibility consumers give to Influencer’s statement(s). For this reason, Influencer will not post or otherwise speak about or refer to Whatnot, directly or indirectly, without disclosing such connection, including, without limitation, the fact that Influencer was afforded any consideration, benefits, or received any free products or services from Whatnot. Such disclosure must appear clearly and conspicuously and in close proximity to any statements Influencer makes about Whatnot, Whatnot’s products and services, and/or the services performed regardless of the space limitations of the medium. Influencer agrees that any consumer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link in order to view the disclosure, the disclosure should not be buried in a list of hashtags, the disclosure should not be in a colour that contrasts poorly with the background, and the disclosure should appear before the “click to read more” button. If a video is being created, the disclosure must be included in the video itself and also in the caption below or above the video or in the title of the video or thumbnail. If Influencer is streaming, Influencer should ensure that Influencer both discloses in a voice-over and superimpose a disclosure periodically during the stream. The specific form of any such disclosure (which may for example include the hashtags #ad or #advertisement) will either be provided to Influencer by Whatnot, or otherwise approved by Whatnot, or mutually agreed upon by Influencer and Whatnot, but at all times in compliance with the applicable law and guidance. If Influencer has any questions on what it means to be in compliance in the US, Influencer can access the FTC’s FAQ here: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking.
- Influencer’s Honest and Truthful Opinions. Influencer’s statements must reflect Influencer’s honest and truthful opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences. When representing that he/she uses Whatnot’s products or services, Influencer must be a bona fide user of such products or services at the time the statement is given. Generally, Influencer should only make factual statements about Whatnot or Whatnot’s products or services which Influencer knows to be true, and which can be verified. Moreover, Influencer’s statements must not convey any express or implied representation that would be deceptive, a misrepresentation, or fraudulent if made directly by Whatnot.
- No Inappropriate Language or Content. Influencer agrees that all Influencer Content will always be in good taste and free of inappropriate or illegal language and/or content. Influencer shall ensure that the Influencer Content does not:
- Contain material that is inappropriate, indecent, obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous, libellous, obscene or likely to cause offence or harm;

B. CODE OF CONDUCT
Whatnot believes in full transparency and in full, fair, and effective disclosures of material facts relating to Seller’s relationship with Whatnot. Accordingly, Whatnot requires that Seller adhere to any applicable laws (including (but not limited to) all applicable advertising marketing law), regulations, industry standards and guidance (including (but not limited to), in the US, the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (“FTC Guides”), available at https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf, and in the UK, the Competition and Markets Authority's guidance on social media endorsements, available at https://www.asa.org.uk/resource/influencers-guide.html) including without limitation, when publishing the Livestreams or any other content about Whatnot or any of Whatnot’s products or services, or when otherwise posting or streaming about or for the benefit of Whatnot or its products or services. Please note that all capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the respective meaning given to them in the Business Terms or in the Terms and Conditions.
- Clear and Prominent Disclosure of Material Connections. Seller understands that Seller’s connection with Whatnot might materially affect the weight or credibility consumers give to Seller’s statement(s). For this reason, Seller will not post or otherwise speak about or refer to Whatnot, directly or indirectly, without disclosing such connection, including, without limitation, the fact that Seller was afforded any consideration, benefits, or received any free products or services from Whatnot. Such disclosure must appear clearly and conspicuously and in close proximity to any statements Seller makes about Whatnot, Whatnot’s products and services, and/or the services performed regardless of the space limitations of the medium. In particular, Seller agrees that any consumer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link in order to view the disclosure, the disclosure should not be buried in a list of hashtags, the disclosure should not be in a colour that contrasts poorly with the background, and the disclosure should appear before the “click to read more” button. If a video is being created, the disclosure must be included in the video itself and also in the caption below or above the video, or in the title of the video or thumbnail. If Seller is streaming, Seller should ensure that Seller both discloses in a voice-over and superimpose a disclosure periodically during the stream. The specific form of any such disclosure (which may for example include the hashtags #ad or #sponsored) will either be provided to Seller, or otherwise approved by Whatnot, or mutually agreed upon by Seller and Whatnot, but at all times in compliance with the applicable laws and guidance. If Seller has any questions on what it means to be in compliant in terms of the US Content that the Seller uses, Seller can access the FTC’s FAQ here: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking.
- Seller’s Honest and Truthful Opinions. Seller’s statements must reflect Seller’s honest and truthful opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences. When representing that he/she uses Whatnot’s products or services, Seller must be a bona fide user of such products or services at the time the statement is given. Generally, Seller should only make factual statements about Whatnot or Whatnot’s products or services which Seller knows to be true, and which can be verified. Moreover, Seller’s statements must not convey any express or implied representation that would be deceptive if made directly by Whatnot.
- No Inappropriate Language or Content. Seller agrees that all Livestreams, social media postings, and comments will always be in good taste and free of inappropriate language and/or content. In particular, Seller understands that content may be rejected by Whatnot if it:
- Contains material that is inappropriate, indecent, obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous or libelous;
- Contains material that otherwise promotes bigotry, racism or discrimination against an individual based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age;
- Contains material that is unlawful, in breach of or contrary to the laws or regulations of the United States or of any jurisdiction where content is created;
- Contains information known by Seller to be false, inaccurate, or misleading;
- Contains material or content for which Seller has been compensated or granted any consideration by any third party;
- Disparages Whatnot or any other person or party; and/or
- Contains material not consistent with the image and values of Whatnot or otherwise associates Whatnot or any of Whatnot’s products or services with any inappropriate or controversial content that would reflect poorly upon Whatnot, Whatnot’s products or services or any products or services on Whatnot’s sites or channels.

Accordingly, Company requires that Seller adhere to any applicable laws (including (but not limited to) all applicable advertising marketing law), regulations, industry standards and guidance including without limitation, when publishing the Livestreams or any other content about Company or any of Company’s products or services, or when otherwise posting or streaming about or for the benefit of Company or its products or services. Please note that all capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the respective meaning given to them in the Business Terms or in the Terms and Conditions. | |
1. Klare und deutliche Offenlegung der wesentlichen Verbindungen. Dem Verkäufer ist bewusst, dass die Verbindung des Verkäufers mit dem Unternehmen das Gewicht oder die Glaubwürdigkeit, die Verbraucher den Aussagen des Verkäufers beimessen, wesentlich beeinflussen kann. Aus diesem Grund darf der Verkäufer weder direkt noch indirekt etwas über das Unternehmen veröffentlichen oder anderweitig darüber sprechen oder sich darauf beziehen, ohne eine solche Verbindung offenzulegen, einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf die Tatsache, dass dem Verkäufer eine Gegenleistung oder Vorteile gewährt wurden oder er kostenlose Produkte oder Dienstleistungen vom Unternehmen erhalten hat. Eine solche Offenlegung muss klar und deutlich und in unmittelbarer Nähe zu allen Aussagen erscheinen, die der Verkäufer über das Unternehmen, die Produkte und Dienstleistungen des Unternehmens und/oder die erbrachten Dienstleistungen macht, unabhängig von der Platzbeschränkung des Mediums. Insbesondere erklärt sich der Verkäufer damit einverstanden, dass der Verbraucher nicht auf einen Link klicken, nach unten scrollen oder mit der Maus darüberfahren muss, um den Hinweis zu sehen, dass der Hinweis nicht in einer Liste von Hashtags versteckt sein darf, dass der Hinweis nicht in einer Farbe erscheinen darf, die sich schlecht vom Hintergrund abhebt, und dass der Hinweis vor der Schaltfläche "Klicken, um mehr zu lesen" erscheinen muss. Wird ein Video erstellt, muss der Hinweis sowohl im Video selbst als auch in der Bildunterschrift unter oder über dem Video oder im Titel des Videos oder in der Miniaturansicht enthalten sein. Wenn der Verkäufer ein Video streamt, sollte er sicherstellen, dass er die Informationen sowohl in einem Voice-Over angibt als auch in regelmäßigen Abständen während des Streams einblendet. Die spezifische Form einer solchen Offenlegung (die z. B. die Hashtags #ad oder #sponsored enthalten kann) wird dem Verkäufer entweder zur Verfügung gestellt oder anderweitig vom Unternehmen freigegeben oder vom Verkäufer und Unternehmen einvernehmlich vereinbart, jedoch stets in Übereinstimmung mit den geltenden Gesetzen und Richtlinien. | 1. Clear and Prominent Disclosure of Material Connections. Seller understands that Seller’s connection with Company might materially affect the weight or credibility consumers give to Seller’s statement(s). For this reason, Seller will not post or otherwise speak about or refer to Company, directly or indirectly, without disclosing such connection, including, without limitation, the fact that Seller was afforded any consideration, benefits, or received any free products or services from Company. Such disclosure must appear clearly and conspicuously and in close proximity to any statements Seller makes about Company, Company’s products and services, and/or the services performed regardless of the space limitations of the medium. In particular, Seller agrees that any consumer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link in order to view the disclosure, the disclosure should not be buried in a list of hashtags, the disclosure should not be in a colour that contrasts poorly with the background, and the disclosure should appear before the “click to read more” button. If a video is being created, the disclosure must be included in the video itself and also in the caption below or above the video, or in the title of the video or thumbnail. If Seller is streaming, Seller should ensure that Seller both discloses in a voice-over and superimpose a disclosure periodically during the stream. The specific form of any such disclosure (which may for example include the hashtags #ad or #sponsored) will either be provided to Seller, or otherwise approved by Company, or mutually agreed upon by Seller and Company, but at all times in compliance with the applicable laws and guidance. | |
2. Ehrliche und wahrheitsgemäße Meinungen des Verkäufers. Die Aussagen des Verkäufers müssen die ehrlichen und wahrheitsgemäßen Meinungen, Erkenntnisse, Überzeugungen oder Erfahrungen des Verkäufers wiedergeben. Wenn er/sie angibt, dass er/sie Produkte oder Dienstleistungen des Unternehmens nutzt, muss der Verkäufer zum Zeitpunkt der Aussage ein gutgläubiger Nutzer dieser Produkte oder Dienstleistungen sein. Im Allgemeinen sollte der Verkäufer nur sachliche Aussagen über das Unternehmen oder die Produkte oder Dienstleistungen des Unternehmens machen, von denen er weiß, dass sie wahr sind, und die überprüft werden können. Außerdem dürfen die Aussagen des Verkäufers keine ausdrücklichen oder stillschweigenden Zusicherungen enthalten, die irreführend wären, wenn sie direkt vom Unternehmen gemacht würden | 2. Seller’s Honest and Truthful Opinions. Seller’s statements must reflect Seller’s honest and truthful opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences. When representing that he/she uses Company’s products or services, Seller must be a bona fide user of such products or services at the time the statement is given. Generally, Seller should only make factual statements about Company or Company’s products or services which Seller knows to be true, and which can be verified. Moreover, Seller’s statements must not convey any express or implied representation that would be deceptive if made directly by Company. | |
3. Keine unangemessene Sprache oder Inhalte. Der Verkäufer erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass alle Livestreams, Social-Media-Beiträge und Kommentare stets geschmackvoll und frei von unangemessener Sprache und/oder Inhalten sind.

Les obligations qui précèdent n'empêcheront pas les parties de divulguer des informations confidentielles conformément à l'ordonnance ou à l'exigence d'un tribunal, d'un organisme administratif ou d'un autre organisme gouvernemental, à condition que les parties se donnent un préavis raisonnable pour leur permettre de contester l'ordonnance ou l'exigence. Nonobstant ce qui précède, les termes du présent Accord peuvent être divulgués sur une base confidentielle aux conseillers, avocats, acquéreurs potentiels réels ou de bonne foi, investisseurs ou autres sources de financement d'une partie (et à leurs conseillers et avocats respectifs) à des fins de diligence raisonnable.. |

Aucune renonciation, expresse ou implicite, par l'une ou l'autre partie, à une condition ou à une violation par l'autre partie de l'une des dispositions du présent Contrat, ne constituera une renonciation en cas de violation de la même disposition ou de toute autre disposition du présent Contrat.

B. CODE OF CONDUCT Company believes in full transparency and in full, fair, and effective disclosures of material facts relating to Seller’s relationship with Company. Accordingly, Company requires that Seller adhere to any applicable laws (including (but not limited to) all applicable advertising marketing law), regulations, industry standards and guidance (including (but not limited to), in the US, the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (“FTC Guides”), available at https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf, and in the UK, the Competition and Markets Authority's guidance on social media endorsements, available at https://www.asa.org.uk/resource/influencers-guide.html) including without limitation, when publishing the Livestreams or any other content about Company or any of Company’s products or services, or when otherwise posting or streaming about or for the benefit of Company or its products or services. Please note that all capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the respective meaning given to them in the Business Terms or in the Terms and Conditions. | B. CODE DE CONDUITE La Société croit en la transparence totale et en la divulgation complète, équitable et effective des faits importants relatifs à la relation entre le Vendeur et la Société. Par conséquent, la Société exige que le Vendeur adhère à toutes les lois applicables (y compris mais sans s'y limiter toutes les lois applicables en matière de publicité), les réglementations, les normes du secteur et les recommandations (y compris mais sans s'y limiter), aux États-Unis, les Recommandations concernant les déclarations et les témoignages dans la publicité de la Commission Fédérale du Commerce ("Orientations de la FTC") disponibles à l'adresse suivante : https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf, et au Royaume-Uni, les recommandaitons de l'Autorité de la Concurrence et des Marchés du Royaume-Uni concernant les déclarations sur les réseaux sociaux, disponibles à l'adresse https://www.asa.org.uk/resource/influencers-guide.html), y compris, mais sans s'y limiter, lors de la publication des Livestreams ou de tout autre contenu relatif à la Société ou à l'un de ses produits ou services, ou lors de toute autre publication ou diffusion au sujet de la Société ou de ses produits ou services, ou au bénéfice de ceux-ci. Tous les termes en majuscules utilisés mais non définis dans les présentes auront la signification qui leur est donnée dans les Conditions Commerciales ou dans les Conditions Générales. |
1. Clear and Prominent Disclosure of Material Connections. Seller understands that Seller’s connection with Company might materially affect the weight or credibility consumers give to Seller’s statement(s). For this reason, Seller will not post or otherwise speak about or refer to Company, directly or indirectly, without disclosing such connection, including, without limitation, the fact that Seller was afforded any consideration, benefits, or received any free products or services from Company. Such disclosure must appear clearly and conspicuously and in close proximity to any statements Seller makes about Company, Company’s products and services, and/or the services performed regardless of the space limitations of the medium. In particular, Seller agrees that any consumer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link in order to view the disclosure, the disclosure should not be buried in a list of hashtags, the disclosure should not be in a colour that contrasts poorly with the background, and the disclosure should appear before the “click to read more” button. If a video is being created, the disclosure must be included in the video itself and also in the caption below or above the video, or in the title of the video or thumbnail. If Seller is streaming, Seller should ensure that Seller both discloses in a voice-over and superimpose a disclosure periodically during the stream. The specific form of any such disclosure (which may for example include the hashtags #ad or #sponsored) will either be provided to Seller, or otherwise approved by Company, or mutually agreed upon by Seller and Company, but at all times in compliance with the applicable laws and guidance. If Seller has any questions on what it means to be in compliant in terms of the US Content that the Seller uses, Seller can access the FTC’s FAQ here: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking. | 1. Divulgation claire et sans équivoque des connexions. Le Vendeur comprend que ses liens avec la Société peuvent avoir une incidence matérielle sur le poids ou la crédibilité que les consommateurs accordent à ses déclarations. C'est pourquoi le Vendeur ne publiera pas d'articles ou ne parlera pas de la Société, ni n'y fera référence, directement ou indirectement, sans divulguer ce lien, y compris, mais sans s'y limiter, le fait que le Vendeur a bénéficié d'une contrepartie, d'avantages ou de produits ou services gratuits de la part de la Société. Cette divulgation doit apparaître de manière claire et visible, à proximité immédiate de toute déclaration du Vendeur concernant la Société, les produits et services de la Société et/ou les services fournis, indépendamment de l'espace disponible sur le support. En particulier, le Vendeur accepte qu'un consommateur ne soit pas obligé de cliquer sur un lien, de le faire défiler vers le bas ou de passer la souris dessus pour voir les informations, que les informations ne soient pas noyées dans une liste de hashtags, qu'elles ne soient pas dans une couleur qui contraste mal avec l'arrière-plan et qu'elles apparaissent avant le bouton "cliquer pour en savoir plus". Si une vidéo est créée, l'information doit être incluse dans la vidéo elle-même ainsi que dans la légende en dessous ou au-dessus de la vidéo, ou dans le titre de la vidéo ou de la vignette. Si le Vendeur diffuse en continu (en streaming), il doit veiller à ce que la divulgation soit faite par une voix off et à ce qu'une divulgation soit superposée périodiquement au cours de la diffusion en continu. La forme spécifique de cette divulgation (qui peut par exemple inclure les hashtags #pub ou #sponsorisé) sera soit fournie au Vendeur, soit approuvée par la Société, soit convenue d'un commun accord entre le Vendeur et la Société, mais à tout moment en conformité avec les lois et réglementations applicables. Si le Vendeur a des questions sur ce que signifie être en conformité en termes de contenu américain que le Vendeur utilise, le Vendeur peut accéder à la FAQ de la FTC ici : https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking. |
2. Seller’s Honest and Truthful Opinions. Seller’s statements must reflect Seller’s honest and truthful opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences. When representing that he/she uses Company’s products or services, Seller must be a bona fide user of such products or services at the time the statement is given. Generally, Seller should only make factual statements about Company or Company’s products or services which Seller knows to be true, and which can be verified. Moreover, Seller’s statements must not convey any express or implied representation that would be deceptive if made directly by Company. | 2. Opinions honnêtes et véridiques du Vendeur. Les déclarations du Vendeur doivent refléter ses opinions, constatations, croyances ou expériences honnêtes et sincères. Lorsqu'il déclare utiliser les produits ou services de la Société, le Vendeur doit être un utilisateur de bonne foi de ces produits ou services au moment où la déclaration est faite. En règle générale, le Vendeur ne doit faire que des déclarations factuelles sur la Société ou sur les produits ou services de la Société qu'il sait être vraies et qui peuvent être vérifiées. En outre, les déclarations du Vendeur ne doivent pas comporter d'indications expresses ou implicites qui seraient trompeuses si elles étaient faites directement par la Société. |
3. No Inappropriate Language or Content. Seller agrees that all Livestreams, social media postings, and comments will always be in good taste and free of inappropriate language and/or content. In particular, Seller understands that content may be rejected by Company if it:
| 3. Pas de langage ou de contenu inapproprié. Le Vendeur accepte que tous les Livestreams, les publications sur les réseaux sociaux et les commentaires soient toujours de bon goût et exempts de langage et/ou de contenu inapproprié. En particulier, le Vendeur comprend que le contenu peut être rejeté par la Société s'il :

- The prices and liquidity of cryptocurrency assets (including any NFTs) are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the NFTs made available through the App, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any Buyers of NFTs will not lose money.
- You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, Taxes apply to your Transactions through the App. Neither Whatnot nor any Whatnot affiliates are responsible for determining the Taxes that apply to such Transactions.
- Any transfer of cryptocurrency assets (such as withdrawing your NFT) occurs within the supporting decentralized blockchain in which NFTs are recorded (the "Blockchain") and not on the App. Transactions in NFTs may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.
- There are risks associated with using an Internet based currency, including but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that Whatnot will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the App for Transactions, however caused.
- A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility or value of a certain NFT.
- The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the App and the utility of NFTs.
- The App may rely on third-party platforms to perform Transactions with respect to any cryptocurrency assets. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers change; if we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms; or if any of such platforms loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of the App will suffer.
- There are risks associated with purchasing user generated content, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit assets, mislabeled assets, assets that are vulnerable to metadata decay, assets on smart contracts with bugs, and assets that may become untransferable. Whatnot reserves the right to hide collections, contracts, and assets affected by any of these issues or by other issues. Assets you purchase may become inaccessible on the App. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view or access your assets on the App serve as grounds for a claim against Whatnot.
- By accessing and using the App, you represent that you understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of digital assets. Such systems may have vulnerabilities or other failures, or other abnormal behavior. Whatnot is not responsible for any issues with the Blockchains, including forks, technical node issues or any other issues having fund losses as a result. You acknowledge that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Ethereum are variable and may increase at any time. You further acknowledge the risk that your digital assets may lose some or all of their value while they are supplied to or from the App. You further acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience while accessing the App. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using and interacting with App.
- You, and not Whatnot, are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable rules and regulations governing your Promotions and all prizes offered, including requirements relating to: offer terms and eligibility requirements (e.g. age and residency restrictions); the official rules; marketing; registration and any required regulatory approvals; and compliance with all tax laws and regulations. You must comply with all laws, rules, and regulations that govern or apply to your Promotion in each jurisdiction where you offer the Promotion and your Promotion must be operated in a lawful manner at all times.
- You must post a set of "Official Rules" for your Promotion giveaway that includes all disclosures required by all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including:
- A statement, as applicable, that "no purchase is necessary to enter or win"
- A statement that the promotion is "void where prohibited."
- Who is eligible to enter, including age and geographic eligibility restrictions
- How to enter
- A description of the prize(s) and their approximate market value(s)
- How winner(s) will be selected and an odds statement (e.g., "odds of winning depend on the number of entries received")
- How prizes will be distributed
- A timeline of key dates and times (as applicable), including when entries open and close, when winners will be chosen, and when prizes will be distributed
- A hyperlink to legally compliant privacy notice that explains how you use any personal data collected from entrants; you must and adhere to that use
- A complete release for Whatnot from any liability and/or damages related to your Promotion.
- For example:
- A statement acknowledging that the Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Whatnot. e.g., "This sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Whatnot Inc."
- You should not at any time – in the rules, in advertising and marketing materials, or elsewhere – state, suggest or imply that your Promotion is endorsed by or affiliated with Whatnot, unless expressly permitted by Whatnot.
- Each time you solicit entry to or advertise the Promotion, you must provide a hyperlink to the Official Rules.
- If you offer purchase as a method of entering your Promotion, you must _ also _ offer a free alternative method of entry ("AMOE"), such as email or mailing in a 3x5 card, to avoid violating the criminal lottery laws.
- The free AMOE must be clearly disclosed whenever you talk about the purchase method of entry.
- Entrants using the free AMOE must have the same opportunity to enter or win the same prize—e.g., they must be able to enter the same number of times, and their entries must be included in the same drawing.
- You must administer your Promotion, including the award of all prizes, as outlined in your Official Rules.
- You must not require participation in any unlawful activity or infringement upon any third-party rights or in connection with or as part of your Promotion.
- The above is a list of rules with which you must comply in order to run your Promotion or giveaway on Whatnot's platform. There may be legal requirements under applicable federal, state and local laws and/or the laws of other jurisdictions that separately apply to your Promotion. Whatnot reserves the right to take measures to remove or take down any Promotions or other giveaways that do not comply with these rules at any time, with or without advance notice to you.

- Résiliation par vous
- Les crypto-actifs ne sont pas réglementés dans de nombreux pays et ne sont pas protégés par des systèmes de garantie des dépôts.
- Les prix et la liquidité des crypto-actifs (y compris les NFT) sont extrêmement volatiles. Les fluctuations du prix d'autres actifs numériques pourraient avoir un impact important et négatif sur les NFT mis à disposition par l'intermédiaire de l'Application, qui peuvent également être soumis à une importante volatilité des prix, ce qui signifie que si les NFT peuvent augmenter en valeur, ils peuvent également chuter fortement en valeur, entraînant une perte de capital. Nous ne pouvons pas garantir que les Acheteurs de NFT ne perdront pas d'argent.
- Vous êtes seul responsable de la détermination des taxes qui s'appliquent à vos Ventes réalisées via l'Application, et à tous les bénéfices réalisés en investissant dans des crypto-actifs tels que les NFT, une fois que les seuils ont été dépassés (par exemple, la taxe sur les plus-values (Capital Gain Tax au Royaume-Uni). Ni Whatnot ni aucune société affiliée à Whatnot n’est responsable de la détermination des taxes qui s'appliquent à ces Ventes.
- Tout transfert de crypto-actifs (tel que le retrait de votre NFT) est réalisé au sein de la blockchain dans laquelle les NFT sont enregistrés (la "Blockchain") et non sur l'Application. Les Ventes de NFT peuvent être irréversibles et, par conséquent, les pertes dues à des Ventes frauduleuses ou accidentelles peuvent ne pas être récupérables.
- Il y a des risques associés à l'utilisation d'une monnaie basée sur Internet, y compris, mais sans s'y limiter, le risque lié au matériel, au logiciel et à la connexion Internet, le risque d'introduction de logiciels malveillants et le risque que des tiers puissent obtenir un accès non autorisé à l'information stockée dans votre portefeuille. Vous acceptez et reconnaissez que Whatnot ne sera pas responsable des échecs de communication, des perturbations, des erreurs, des distorsions ou des retards que vous pouvez rencontrer lors de l'utilisation de l'Application pour les Ventes, quelle qu'en soit la cause.
- Le défaut d'utilisation ou d'intérêt public pour la création et le développement de systèmes distribués pourrait avoir un impact négatif sur le développement de ces systèmes et des applications connexes, et pourrait donc également avoir un impact négatif sur l'utilité ou la valeur potentielle de certains NFT.
- Le régime réglementaire régissant les technologies blockchain, les crypto-actifs et les jetons est incertain, et de nouvelles réglementations ou politiques peuvent avoir un effet négatif important sur le développement de l'Application et l'utilité des NFT.
- L'Application peut s'appuyer sur des plateformes tierces pour effectuer des Ventes relatives à des crypto-actifs. Si nous ne sommes pas en mesure de maintenir une bonne relation avec ces plateformes, si les conditions ou la tarification changent, si nous ne respectons pas ou ne pouvons pas respecter les conditions de ces plateformes, ou si l'une de ces plateformes perd des parts de marché, tombe en désuétude ou n'est pas disponible pendant une période prolongée, l'accès à l'Application et son utilisation en seront impactés.
- Il existe des risques associés à l'achat de contenu généré par l'utilisateur, et notamment le risque d'acheter des actifs contrefaits, des actifs mal étiquetés, des actifs vulnérables à la dégradation des métadonnées, des actifs sur des contrats intelligents avec des bogues, et des actifs qui peuvent devenir incessibles. Whatnot se réserve le droit de masquer les collections, les contrats et les biens affectés par l'un de ces problèmes ou par d'autres problèmes. Les biens que vous achetez peuvent devenir inaccessibles sur l'Application. En aucun cas, l'impossibilité de voir ou d'accéder à vos biens sur l'Application ne peut servir de fondement à une réclamation contre Whatnot.
- En accédant à l'Application et en l'utilisant, vous déclarez comprendre les risques inhérents à l'utilisation des systèmes cryptographiques et basés sur la blockchain, et avoir une connaissance pratique des actifs numériques. Ces systèmes peuvent présenter des vulnérabilités, des défaillances ou d'autres comportements anormaux. Whatnot n'est pas responsable des problèmes liés à la Blockchain, y compris les forks, les problèmes techniques de nœuds ou tout autre problème entraînant des pertes de fonds. Vous reconnaissez que le coût et la vitesse des Ventes avec les systèmes cryptographiques et basés sur la blockchain tels que Ethereum sont variables et peuvent augmenter à tout moment. Vous reconnaissez en outre le risque que vos actifs numériques puissent perdre tout ou partie de leur valeur pendant qu'ils sont fournis à l'Application ou à partir de celle-ci. Vous reconnaissez en outre que nous ne sommes pas responsables de ces variables ou de ces risques et que nous ne pouvons être tenus pour responsables des pertes que vous subissez en accédant à l'Application. En conséquence, vous comprenez et acceptez d'assumer l'entière responsabilité de tous les risques liés à l'accès, l’utilisation et interaction avec l'Application.

- WHATNOT N'EST PAS RESPONSABLE DE L'EXACTITUDE DES INFORMATIONS DE PAIEMENT OU DES MODES DE PAIEMENT, ET NOTAMMEN DE LA MISE À JOUR DE CES INFORMATIONS. WHATNOT N'A AUCUNE OBLIGATION ET N’EST PAS TENU DE S'ASSURER QU'UN UTILISATEUR A FOURNI UN MODE DE PAIEMENT VALIDE ET APPROPRIÉE POUR EFFECTUER UNE VENTE, OU DE DÉTERMINER SI LE MODE DE PAIEMENT D'UN UTILISATEUR EST VALIDE POUR EFFECTUER UNE VENTE. LES UTILISATEURS COMPRENNENT QU'ILS PEUVENT DEVOIR SUPPORTER DES FRAIS SUITE AUX VENTES EFFECTUÉES PAR WHATNOT SELON LES TERMES DES CONTRATS CONCLUS AVEC LES PRESTATAIRES DE SERVICES DE PAIEMENT ET QUE WHATNOT PEUT ÊTRE DANS L'INCAPACITÉ DE FACILITER CERTAINES VENTES.
- NOUS DÉCLINONS EXPRESSÉMENT TOUTE RESPONSABILITÉ S’AGISSANT DES SERVICES FOURNIS PAR DES TIERS. RIEN DANS CES CONDITIONS GENERALES NI DANS L'UTILISATION DE NOTRE APPLICATION NE CONSTITUE UNE APPROBATION, UNE RECOMMANDATION OU TOUTE AUTRE AFFILIATION DE OU AVEC DES SERVICES DE TIERS.
