BootBe reserves the right to change the Website or the T&Cs at any time in its sole discretion, effective upon posting updated terms on the Website; any use of the Website after such notice will constitute acceptance by you of such changes.

1.3 You do not have to register with BootB in order to use the Website. However only registered Brands and Creators can use the BootB Service (see Section 2.l below). The Website is operated by BootBe Inc., a Delaware corporation with principal offices at 16247 East Crestline Lane, Centennial, Colorado 80015 ("BootBe").

2 CONDITIONS FOR BRANDS AND CREATORS

2.1 The BootB Service is only available to “Brands” and “Creators”. A “Brand” is a company or individual who has registered as a Brand at and who is using the Website to solicit creative solutions for a fee. A “Creator” is a company or individual who has registered as a Creator at and who is using the Website to review and respond to postings from Brand(s) by offering to provide original, creative solutions to a Brand's Pitches.

2.2 By registering with the BootB Service, you acknowledge that you meet our requirements for registration as Brand or Creator and you represent and warrant that all of the information contained in the registration form is fully accurate. In addition to providing the information required on our registration form, in order to meet the requirements for registration, you must be at least 13 years of age; you cannot reside in or be a citizen of any of the following countries: Cuba, Iran, Burma, Southern Sudan, North Korea; and your name cannot appear on the Specially Designated Nationals list published by the United States Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control.You may not have more than one account as a Brand, nor as a Creator, nor may you open an alternative account if your account is suspended or terminated for any reason. You may be registered as a Brand and as a Creator at the same time. Within your account as Brand or Creator, you may make multiple postings for purposes of the BootB Service. You may not sell, trade, or transfer an account to another person or entity, nor accept or use an account that was not originally yours. Any Brand or Creator that violates these conditions shall be considered to be in breach of these T&Cs, and BootBe will seek all available remedies, including termination of such user’s account.

2.3 Your participation in the BootB Service is based upon the assumption that all information you provide regarding yourself during registration or at any other time is truthful and accurate. YOUR PROVISION OF MISLEADING OR FALSE INFORMATION IS SUFFICIENT REASON FOR US TO TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT.

2.5 We reserve the right to change or modify registration criteria at any time and without prior notice.

All such fees shall be fully disclosed to you in the FAQ section of the Website. To register on www.BootB.com is free of charge, but in order to start a Pitch, a Brand is to post the fee offered to the successful Creator (“the Budget”) to the holding account notified to Brands by BootBe from time to time. Details of the holding account can be found in FAQ.

3.6 We reserve the right to monitor, edit or remove any content posted by you at our sole discretion, for reasons including but not limited to that it is unlawful, threatening, libellous, defamatory, fraudulent, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or because it may infringe or violate any party's intellectual property or privacy.

All content on www.BootB.com, other than the Creative Solutions (as defined below), including, without limitation, all text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, interactive features and the like (the "Content") and the trademarks, and logos (the "Marks") are owned or licensed by BootBe or its principals, subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights. Users may post copyrighted information, which has copyright protection whether or not it is identified as copyrighted.

6  CREATIVE SOLUTIONS AND CONDUCT

6.1. Creator account holders may submit content comprised of video, graphic, audio, textual and the like in accordance with this Agreement and the Creator’s Agreement (the “Creator Content”). Such Creator Content, and any communications on the Website regarding the Creator Content or otherwise, are collectively referred to as "Creative Solutions." You understand that whether or not such Creative Solutions are published, BootBe does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any Creative Solutions.

6.2. You shall be solely responsible for your own Creative Solutions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with your own Creative Solutions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that: you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize BootBe to use all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all Creative Solutions to enable the submission to Brands of the Creative Solutions in the manner contemplated by the Website and these T&Cs.

6.3. For clarity, by the act of submitting Creative Solutions to BootBe in response to a Brand’s Pitch, you are transferring to BootBe all worldwide intellectual property, proprietary or similar rights in the proposed creative solution to the Brand's Pitch (the "Creator IP"), to hold on your behalf pending the outcome of the Creative Solution selection process. At the conclusion of the Creative Solution selection process, the Creator IP will be transferred from BootBe either to the Brand (subject to payment in accordance with the Brand's Pitch) or back to you. The process of transferring Creator’s IP, and the way in which BootBe holds the IP and transfers it, are more fully described in the Creator agreement with us. To review such agreement, please refer to Legal Documents page. In addition, by submitting Creative Solutions to BootBe, you hereby grant BootBe a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Creative Solutions in connection with the Website and BootBe's (and its successors' and affiliates') business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the BootBe Website (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. You also hereby grant the relevant Brand a non-exclusive license to access your Creative Solutions through the Website, and to access, display, review, and sort such Creative Solutions as permitted through the functionality of the Website and under these T&Cs. The above licenses granted by you in the Creative Solutions will automatically terminate upon the selection of a winning Creative Solution other than your Creative Solution. You understand and agree, however, that BootBe may retain, but not display, distribute, or perform, server copies of Creative Solutions that have been removed or deleted.

6.4. In connection with your own Creative Solutions, you further agree that you will not submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post the material and to grant BootBe all of the license rights granted herein.

6.5. You further agree that you will not, in connection with your own Creative Solutions, submit material that is contrary to the BootBe Creator’s Agreement, which may be updated from time to time, or contrary to applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations.

6.6. BootBe does not endorse any Creative Solution or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and BootBe expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with any Creative Solutions. BootBe does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on its Website, and BootBe will remove all Creator Content and Creative Solutions if properly notified that such Creator Content or Creative Solution infringes on another's intellectual property rights. BootBe reserves the right to remove Creator Content and Creative Solutions without prior notice and in its sole discretion.

Children’s Privacy Policy

BootBe welcomes children’s participation in BootB.com and believes that children's creativity should be given a chance to fly with us. However, we are also sensitive to the fact that children need special protection in a virtual environment, and we have adopted this Children's Privacy Policy to supplement our general Privacy Policy, which is applicable to users of every age.

BootBe does not specifically direct any part of the Website to children under the age of 13, but we do ask for age-identifying information from our users. We are currently not accepting registration from children under 13 years of age and we do not intentionally gather Personal Information about Visitors who are under the age of 13.

When a young person from 13 years of age under the age of 18 submits personal information to BootBe, we ask for an email address or other contact information for a parent or legal guardian in order to notify the parent or guardian that we have received personal information from the child. We respect the privacy of children and do not collect any more personal information than reasonably necessary to enable them to participate in the activities we offer.

BootBe believes that parents have the ultimate responsibility to supervise the online activities of their children to ensure a safe and rewarding online experience. For this reason, we offer parents and guardians the opportunity to request the withdrawal of any creative solution submitted by their child, and to request that we remove the child's information from our databases.

If the parent does not request the withdrawal of personal information, we will retain such personal information but will not use it for any purpose other than participation in the Brief process along with all other users of www.BootB.com. We do not share a child's information with third parties (other than agents or contractors necessary for fulfillment services or, in the event the child's creative solution is the winning solution, with the Builder).

Upon proper identification, any parent or legal guardian can review any personal information we have collected from his or her child, if we are still maintaining the information in our database, by contacting us at info@BootB.com.

We urge parents to discuss the online release of personal information with their children and we urge children to check with their parents before entering information on any website.

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING AGREEMENT BEFORE PUBLISHING A PITCH FOR OR USING THE BOOTB SERVICE. BOTH THE ACT OF AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT AND ANY USE OF THE BOOTB SERVICE CREATES A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN BOOTBE AND YOU. BY USING THE BOOTB SERVICE, AND SPECIFICALLY BY CLICKING TO AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS CONTRACT, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT JUST AS IF YOU HAD SIGNED IT.

This Brand’s Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into as of the Effective Date, as defined below, between (“Brand”),  and BootBe Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 16247 East Crestline Lane, Centennial, Colorado 80015 ("BootBe").

WHEREAS, BootBe operates an Internet-based platform that facilitates introductions and transactions between producers of creative solutions and the consumers of such creative Solutions (the “BootB Service”); and

WHEREAS, Brand desires to request certain creative solutions, including information, concepts, ideas and/or designs (“Creative Solutions”), via the electronic request, attached hereto as Annex A, (the “Pitch”) published on www.BootB.com (the “Website”); and

WHEREAS, Brand further desires to use such Creative Solutions for commercial purposes and wishes to review the Creative Solutions for potential purchase.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Brand and BootBe agree as follows:

1. Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the calendar day on which BootBe receives electronic or written confirmation that Brand has agreed to the terms of this Agreement and BootBe has received on its account the amount equal to Contracted Price (defined below). For each and every Pitch submitted by Brand to the Website, confirmation of the Effective Date will be sent to the e-mail address supplied by Brand in the registration form, together with a copy of this Agreement and the Pitch description, on a date not earlier than the date on which a Pitch is published on the Website in accordance with Section 3 hereof. Failure to receive such copy of this Agreement shall not relieve the Brand of its obligations hereunder.

2. The BootB Service/ Fee.  Subject to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy set forth on the Website (collectively, the “T&Cs”) and the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof, Brand shall be entitled to request Creative Solutions by submitting a Pitch to the Website. In accordance with the procedures set forth herein, BootBe shall publish such Pitch for review and consideration by providers of the Creative Solutions ("Creators"), offering Creators the opportunity to respond with one or more proposals (“Creative Solutions”) for Brand’s consideration. In order to have a Pitch published on the Website and made available for consideration by Creators, Brand must transfer funds equal to the sum of (a) the “Contracted Price” which is comprised of (a1) the budget that Brand is offering as compensation for the Creative Solution (the “Budget") plus (a2) the fee payable to BootBe (the "Fee") and (b) a nonrefundable fee, amounting to twenty nine dollars (29 USD), covering bank charges or other costs associated with the transfer (the “Handling Fee”) . The amount of the “Contracted Price” shall be determined in the discretion of the Brand, who shall solely and exclusively determine the total amount that Brand is offering to pay for the Creative Solution; provided that in no event shall the Contracted Price be less than one thousand and five hundred dollars (1,500 USD). From such total amount offered by Brand as the Contracted Price, the Fee shall be calculated as a sum equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Contracted Price and the remaining eighty percent (80%) of the Contracted Price shall be made available as payment of the Budget for the winning Creative Solution. The Brand shall transfer the total amount of the Contracted Price plus the Handling Fee to the BootBe account set forth on the Website or in the wire transfer slip provided by BootBe to Brand. The Budget shall be held by BootBe on behalf of Brand, in a non-interest-bearing bank account, pending the outcome of the Pitch process set forth in Section 3 hereof, until released in accordance with Section 6 or 10 hereof. BootBe shall be entitled to retain the Fee as compensation for the BootB Service, without regard to the outcome of the Pitch process.

3. Pitch Process  Each Pitch submitted by Brand shall proceed in accordance with the following steps:

3.1  Draft Period:  Brand shall be entitled to unlimited development and refinement of a draft Pitch (the “Draft Pitch”) held in its account on the Website. During the draft period, the Pitch shall be posted on the Website, but access to the Pitch shall be limited to Brand and BootBe, and Brand may take any of the following actions:
a. update Pitch name, description, Contracted Price and Deadline (defined below);
b. select additional services to be provided by BootBe in accordance with Section 11 hereof;
c. revise attachments by detaching, updating and reattaching;
d. delete the Pitch; or
e. proceed to Pending Pitch stage.

When Brand is satisfied with the form and content of the Draft Pitch, Brand shall submit the Pitch and it shall be deemed a “Pending Pitch” in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof.

If Brand wishes to postpone the Pitch publication on the Website, he/she/it can save the Pitch as a draft for a period of up to two (2) months by clicking the “Save as Draft” button. In the event Brand does not submit the Pitch to the Pending Pitch stage within two (2) months from the date on which Brand first saves the Pitch as a draft, the Pitch will be deleted from the Website.

3.2  Pending Pitch:  Upon submission of the Pitch to the Website, BootBe shall hold the Pitch for a period of up to thirty (30) calendar days, pending receipt of the Contracted Price in accordance with Section 2 hereof. During the Pending Pitch stage, the Pitch shall be posted on the Website, but access shall continue to be limited to Brand and BootBe. Brand may request assistance from an account manager at BootBe during this stage. During the Pending Pitch stage, Brand may not change the Pitch account identification number, Contracted Price or Deadline, nor may it select additional services to be provided by BootBe

In the event Brand does not transfer to BootBe the Contracted Price in accordance with Section 2 hereof within thirty (30) calendar days from the date on which BootBe submits the Transfer Slip to the Brand, the Pitch will be submitted back to the Draft Period stage, where it will remain for up to two (2) months, as set forth in Section 3.1 above.

3.3  Open Pitch:  Upon the receipt of the Contracted Price in accordance with Section 2 hereof, the Pitch will be published to the public on the Website, and Creators will be invited to submit Creative Solutions; provided that, if Brand requested that BootBe provide translation services, the Pitch will be published within three (3) business days after the conclusion of the Pending Pitch period. The Pitch shall remain published on the Website until the conclusion of the response period specified in the Pitch (the "Deadline"), which period shall be not less than seven (7) calendar days and not more than one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days.

15.  Confidentiality.  Brand understands and agrees that the unauthorized disclosure of the Creative Solutions by Brand to others would irreparably damage the Creator of such Creative Solutions. As consideration and in return for the disclosure of the Creative Solutions, Brand shall keep secret and hold in confidence all Creative Solutions and treat the Creative Solutions as if they were Brand’s own proprietary property by not disclosing them to any person or entity.

16. Use of the BootB Service. Brand understands, acknowledges and agrees that (a) BootBe shall have no liability of any nature in connection with the execution, performance, existence or breach of the T&Cs by Creator, or any failure or refusal by Creator to perform its obligations in connection with the BootB Service, including the failure by Creator to adhere to the terms of the transfer ownership of the winning Creative Solution; (b) BootBe has no obligation to continue to operate the BootB Service and may choose to cease operations; (c) BootBe does not monitor and has no responsibility for any content included in any Creative Solution submitted by any Creator in response to a Pitch; and (d) Brand shall not enter into any agreement regarding the Creative Solutions directly with any Creator without BootBe’s prior written consent. In the event of BootBe’s termination of the BootBe Service prior to the Deadline for a Pitch posted by Brand, BootBe shall return to Brand all amounts actually paid by Brand to BootBe in connection with the posting of such Pitch(es), with Brand solely responsible for any bank charges or other fees charged by third parties in connection with the return of such amounts, unless Brand has already selected and received a Creative Solution(s) for such Pitch(es), in which case BootBe shall continue to have the right to receive from Brand the Contracted Price for such Creative Solution(s).

17.  Right to Counsel.  Each party is entering into this Agreement freely, knowingly and voluntarily, without duress or coercion, with full understanding of its terms. Each party represents that each has had, or has had the opportunity to have, this Agreement reviewed by independent counsel of their own choice.

18.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. The federal and state courts of the State of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any legal action arising in any way under this Agreement.

19.  Exhibits; Integration. This Agreement, its pre-amble and Annex A, along with the T&Cs, represents the entire agreement between Brand and BootBe and contains all agreements, whether written, oral, expressed or implied, between the parties relating thereto and supersedes and extinguishes any other agreement or understanding relating thereto, whether written, oral, express or implied, between the parties. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any rights under it be waived, except in a writing signed and agreed to by the parties.

20.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by electronic confirmation via the BootB Service or in one or more counterparts, which, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. A PDF, digital signature or facsimile signature shall be as valid as the original.
