2. Obligations of Esusu. Esusu shall:

a. Provide to Client an Esusu logo, marketing content including a description of the Esusu Service, the Client Link, and if applicable and set forth in an Order, a discount code or coupon for use by each Qualifying User.

b. Provide the Esusu Service to all Qualifying Users that are referred to Esusu via the Client Link in accordance with Esusu’s standard terms and conditions.

c. If applicable and set forth in an Order, calculate the aggregate monthly Client Marketing Fees and pay such amount to Client on a monthly basis in arrears. Esusu’s obligation to pay a Client Marketing Fee for any Qualifying User is conditioned upon Esusu’s actual receipt of Qualifying User Fees from such Qualifying User. No Client Marketing Fee shall be owed with respect to any Qualifying User if such Qualifying User Fees are refunded, charged back, reversed, or otherwise not collected.

d. Provide access to mutually agreed-upon reporting which includes, at a minimum, the number of Qualifying Users enrolled in the Esusu Service during a given period.

3. Obligations of Client. Client shall:

a. Effective upon the Launch Date, include Esusu’s name and logo, the Client Link, and the description of the Esusu Service in the Client Platform.

b. Use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith throughout the Term to promote the availability of the Esusu Service to Client Users (i) in marketing communications to the Client Users, such as in-app messaging, emails, social media posts, newsletters, and blog posts, and (ii) in other promotional materials and promotional opportunities that may be agreed to between Client and Esusu from time to time. Client represents and warrants that the description of the Esusu Service and any such promotional materials used shall be either (A) substantially as provided by Esusu or, (B) to the extent changed or supplemented by Client, consistent with Esusu’s guidelines, accurate, and compliant with Applicable Law.

c. Only make the Esusu Service available to Client Users in the Territory for the purposes provided herein.

d. Promptly (i) respond to any requests from Esusu for instructions, information, data, or approvals reasonably required by Esusu to provide the Esusu Service and to investigate and resolve any disputes regarding the accuracy or completeness of rental data reported to any Bureau in compliance with Applicable Law, and (ii) assist in replying to any compliance audits requested by the Bureaus or other regulatory inquiries as required by Applicable Law. Client understands that responses to such inquiries are time sensitive.

e. Obtain, and at all times during the Term maintain, all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all Applicable Laws in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Agreement.

4. Client User Data.

The Parties agree that Client User Data may be provided directly by Client or collected by Esusu. Before providing any Client User Data to Esusu, Client represents, warrants and covenants that it shall provide all notices and obtains all consents required under Applicable Law to share such Client User Data with Esusu and enable Esusu to collect, use, and share Client User Data in accordance with this Agreement and Esusu’s privacy policy. Before collecting any Client User Data directly, Esusu represents, warrants and covenants that it shall provide all notices and obtain all consents required under Applicable Law to enable Esusu to collect, use, and share such Client User Data in accordance with this Agreement and Esusu’s privacy policy. In either case, since Esusu will be developing an independent, direct relationship with Client Users, and determining the “purposes and means” of processing Client User Data in connection with the Esusu Service, Esusu is acting as a “controller” (as such terms or similar terms are defined under Privacy Laws) of such Client User Data and Section 7.4 of the MSA and the DPA referenced therein shall not apply to the Services described in this RAAS Referral Program RP Addendum.
