WHEREAS, the Company
desires to employ Employee in the capacity hereinafter stated, and Employee desires to enter into the employ of the Company in
such capacity, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, the parties
hereto acknowledge that Employee’s employment will be “at will”.

WHEREAS, the Company
and Employee desire to set forth in writing the employment relationship that exists between the Company and Employee.

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, it is hereby covenanted and agreed by the Company and
Employee as follows:

1.                 
Employment. The Company hereby employs Employee as the Chief Marketing Officer of the Company (the “Position”)
and Employee hereby accepts such employment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.                 
Term of Employment. The period of Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall begin as of the date first
above written (the “Commencement Date”), and shall continue until the termination of employment pursuant to Section 7
below (the “Employment Period”).

3.                 
Duties and Responsibilities. Employee shall, during the Employment Period, while Employee is employed by the Company,
devote Employee’s full and undivided attention, business energies and talents to fulfilling the duties of the Position, subject
to the direction and control of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company (the “CEO”), currently Isaac Dietrich. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee’s duties are subject
to change at the discretion of the Board and/or the CEO. Employee shall report to Isaac Dietrich.

4.                 
Location of Employment. Employee shall work primarily out of his home, but travel will be required as requested by
the Company.

5.                 
Compensation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Employment Period:

(a)                Employee
shall receive an annual salary of forty two thousand ($42,000) (“Base Salary”) paid in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll practices. The Company may make such deductions, withholdings or payments from sums payable to
Employee hereunder which are required by law for taxes and similar charges. The

    	 

    	 

    

Company will review Employee’s
base salary in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures.

(b)              
In the event that the Company reaches 250,000 monthly active users and the Company’s $0.40 financing warrants are
executed, the employee’s annual salary shall increase to sixty thousand dollars ($60,000); however, the plan may be amended,
modified or terminated at any time in the sole discretion of the Company. If the plan is amended or terminated under this Section
5(b), the Company agrees that it shall establish total compensation for Employee that is substantially equivalent in the aggregate
to his then current compensation.

6.                 
Benefits.

(a)               
Vacation

(i)                
Employee shall be entitled to use up to 10 vacation days per year. Employee shall also be entitled to such holidays as are
announced by the Company from time to time, which in general, may include federal or Colorado state holidays. As of the date hereof,
such Company holidays are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day and the day after Thanksgiving Day. Up to 10 unused vacation days may be carried over, subject to the approval of your manager,
from one year to the next; all other unused vacation days will be forfeited.

(ii)              
Each year, Employee’s vacation days will accrue ratably over the course of the year. The Company may permit Employee
to use vacation days during the year before such days have accrued. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated at a
time when Employee has taken more vacation days than Employee has accrued, Employee shall reimburse the Company for each vacation
day Employee has taken that hasn’t accrued at a per diem rate equal to Employee’s Base Salary divided by 365. The Company
will be entitled to offset such amount against any amounts owing by the Company to Employee.

(b)              
Employee, when and to the extent eligible pursuant to the terms of any such benefit plan, shall be entitled to participate
in such employee benefit plans (e.g., health, dental and life insurance as well as 401k) as are offered by the Company to the Employees
of the Company generally as those plans may be amended from time to time in the sole discretion of the Company. Should Employee
elect to participate in any such employee benefit plan, Employee shall be responsible for any and all required employee premiums,
contributions, co-insurance and costs associated with said plans.

(c)               
Employee shall be entitled to payment for unused vacation days as of the Termination Date, only if the Company is given
1 month’s advance notice of separation.

7.                 
Termination of Employment.

(a)               
At will Employment. The parties hereto acknowledge that Employee’s employment hereunder is “at will”,
that is, Employee may be terminated by the Company

    	 

    	 

    

or Employee may voluntarily resign,
at any time with or without cause. Absent exigent circumstances, (i) in the event that the Company wishes to terminate Employee’s
employment hereunder, the Company will provide 1 month’s notice prior to such termination and (ii) in the event that
Employee wishes to terminate his employment hereunder, Employee will provide 1 month’s notice prior to such termination.
Failure of either party to provide such notice shall not affect the timing or validity of the termination. However, if either party
provides notice of termination, Employer may in its sole discretion, at any time during the notice period decide to terminate Employee’s
employment immediately in exchange for a lump sum payment for the remainder of the 1 month notice period. The date upon which any
party hereto terminates Employee’s employment shall be referred to as the “Termination Date”.

Upon the Termination Date, and
except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Company shall have no obligation to make payments to Employee in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5, or, except as otherwise required by law, to provide the benefits described in Section 6,

Date and reimbursable expenses incurred through such date.

(b)              
Death. Employee’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon the death of Employee. The Company shall have no
obligation to make payments to Employee in accordance with the provisions of Section 5, or, except as otherwise required by
law or the terms of any applicable benefit plan, to provide the benefits described in Section 6, for periods after the date
of Employee’s death except for Base Salary earned and accrued through the date of death, payable to Employee’s beneficiary,
as Employee shall have indicated in writing to the Company (or if no such beneficiary has been designated, to Employee’s
estate) and Reimbursable Expenses incurred through such date.

significant expense, it is proprietary
to the Company, and it is and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that
the Confidential Information is highly valuable and proprietary to the Company and that the disclosure of any such Confidential
Information to third parties or the otherwise unauthorized use of the Confidential Information by Employee would cause the Company
serious and irreparable harm. Accordingly, Employee agrees not to, without the express, written consent of the Company, while engaged
by the Company as an Employee or after such engagement, disclose, copy, make any use of, or remove from the Company’s premises
the Confidential Information except as required in the performance of Employee’s duties and responsibilities to the Company.
Upon Employee’s termination as an employee of the Company, Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company any Confidential
Information and all copies thereof, whether in hard copy, computerized or other form, which are in the possession or control of
Employee.

(c)

shall mean with respect to any person, any other person, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with, such first mentioned person. As used in this definition of Affiliate, the term “control”
(including “controlled by”, or “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly,
of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through ownership of voting securities,
as trustee, by contract, or otherwise.

“Business”
shall mean any business which engages in the set up, scheduling, management or planning of conferences or events, and any other
business in which the Company may engage during the term of Employee’s engagement.

only, and the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The Company and Employee
desire and intend that the restrictions be given effect to the maximum extent permitted by law and equity. They therefore respectfully
request that any restriction determined to be over broad in any manner shall be interpreted or reformed to give that restriction

beneficiary or estate upon his/her death and except as otherwise required by law. Any attempted assignment in violation of this
provision shall be void.

User Agreement

 

Last Update: October
25, 2013, effective October 25, 2013

 

This
update replaces the word "Contractor" with the word "Freelancer" throughout the oDesk User Agreement to conform
to similar wording use across the oDesk website.

 

This
oDesk User Agreement (the "Agreement") is a contract between you (the "User") and oDesk Corporation, a California
corporation with its principal place of business at 901 Marshall Street, Redwood City, California U.S.A. ("oDesk", "we"
or "us"). You must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement in order to
use our website located at www.odesk.com (the "Site") and related software and services. oDesk may amend this Agreement
at any time by posting a revised version on the Site. Each revised version will state its effective date, which will be on or after
the date posted by oDesk. If the revised version materially reduces your rights or increases your responsibilities, we may post
it in advance of the effective date in order to give you notice. Your continued use of the oDesk Platform after the effective date
of a revised version of this Agreement constitutes your acceptance of its terms. This Agreement includes and hereby incorporates
by reference the agreements and polices referred to herein or linked from the URL [www.odesk.com/info/terms/], as such agreements
and policies may be modified by oDesk from time to time in its sole discretion. In the event of a conflict between such policies
and agreements and this Agreement, this Agreement controls. Capitalized terms are defined throughout the Agreement and in Section
12.

 

YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT BY CHECKING THE BOX AND CLICKING THE "SUBMIT" BUTTON, OR BY USING THE ODESK PLATFORM, YOU ARE AGREEING
TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE ODESK PLATFORM.
IF YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF AN ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT ENTITY
TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THAT EVENT, "YOU" AND "YOUR" WILL REFER AND APPLY TO THAT ENTITY.

 

1. THE ODESK PLATFORM.

 

1.1 Purpose of the oDesk Platform.

 

The oDesk Platform allows
Clients and Freelancers to identify each other and enable them to buy and sell Services online. Under this Agreement, oDesk provides
services to both Clients and Freelancers, including curating Clients and Freelancers, facilitating the formation of contracts between
Clients and Freelancers, and managing disputes related to those contracts. Clients post jobs and invite Freelancers to apply. Freelancers
post profiles and bid on jobs. If a Client and Freelancer agree on terms, a Service Contract is formed directly between such Client
and Freelancer subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3 (Service Contract Terms Between Client and Freelancer). oDesk pays
Freelancers in connection with their delivery of services through the oDesk platform. oDesk collects payment from Clients in connection
with their receipt of services through the oDesk platform.

 

1.2 Eligibility.

 

The oDesk Platform is available
only to legal entities and persons who are at least eighteen (18) years old and are otherwise capable of forming legally binding
contracts under applicable law. User agrees that User is not (a) a citizen or resident of a country in which use or participation
is prohibited by law, decree, regulation, treaty or administrative act; (b) a citizen or resident of, or located in, a country
or region that is subject to U.S. or other sovereign country sanctions or embargoes; or (c) an individual or an individual employed
by or associated with an entity identified on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Persons or Entity List, the U.S. Department
of Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons Lists, or the Department of State's Debarred Parties List or otherwise
ineligible to receive items subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations, or other economic sanction rules of any sovereign
nation.

 

2. ODESK GENERAL USER POLICIES

 

2.1 oDesk Fees.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

oDesk charges Freelancers a fee for the services of connecting them with the Clients
that hire them and collecting payment for work. Typically, this fee is equal to 10% of Client's payments, plus a fee for disbursements.
If Freelancer elects disbursement through a third party, the third party may assess additional fees. If Freelancer elects disbursement
in foreign currency, oDesk adds a conversion fee of 1.5% to the spot rate quoted by its foreign exchange vendor.

 

2.2 General User Obligations.

 

You will not access (or attempt
to access) the Site by any means other than the interface provided, and you will not use information from the Site for any purpose
other than the purpose for which it was made available. You will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the
functioning of the Site. You will not upload or attach an invalid or malicious or unknown file. You will not insert any external
links that may be malicious or unknown to you, or used for offering any goods or services other than Services. You agree not to
"scrape" or disaggregate data from the Site (whether by manual or automated means), for any commercial, marketing, or
data compiling or enhancing purpose, or to copy, re-post or re-use data from the Site for any other service. You agree not to use
or provide software (except for general purpose web browsers and email clients, or software expressly licensed by us) or services
that interact or interoperate with the Site, e.g. for downloading, uploading, posting, flagging, emailing, search, or mobile use.

 

2.3 Identity and Account Security.

 

oDesk reserves the right to validate User information at any time, including but
not limited to validation against third party databases or the verification of one or more official government or legal
documents that confirm the User's identity. You authorize oDesk, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries
necessary to validate your identity and confirm your ownership of your email address or financial accounts, subject to
applicable law. Failure to provide information about you and your business when requested is a violation of this Agreement.
The User is solely responsible for ensuring and maintaining the secrecy and security of the User's oDesk account password.
User agrees not to disclose this password to anyone (or, in the case of an Agency (as defined below in Section 3), not to
disclose this password to anyone who is not a subcontractor of such Agency), and shall be solely responsible under all
circumstances for any use of or action taken through the use of such password on the oDesk Platform. You must notify oDesk
Support immediately if you suspect that your password has been lost or stolen. By using your oDesk User account, you
acknowledge and agree the oDesk's account security procedures are commercially reasonable.

 

2.4 Disbursements to Freelancers

 

oDesk will automatically disburse
funds to Freelancers according to the payment instructions on file with oDesk no more than one month after funds become payable
(or within six months, for amounts less than $100). Funds become payable to Freelancers working on Hourly Contracts following the
expiration of the dispute period and the security period associated with each work week. Funds become payable to Freelancers working
on Fixed Price Contracts after Clients accept work submitted by a Freelancer. Clients retain the ability to change the terms of
a Fixed Price Contract, including the amount of money owed on a Fixed Price Contract, until they accept the work. Freelancers may
ask oDesk to expedite payments. oDesk reserves the right to refuse any such request and may assess a processing fee in connection
with such a request.

 

2.5 Disintermediation.

 

Client shall make all payments
relating to, or in any way connected with, a Service Contract (including, without limitation, bonuses) through the oDesk Platform.
Any action that encourages or solicits complete or partial payment outside of the oDesk Platform is a violation of this Agreement.
Should a Client or Freelancer (including an Agency) be found in violation of this section of this Agreement, it will owe oDesk
an amount with respect to each Service Contract equal to the greater of a) $2,500; or b) the applicable fees had the payments been
processed through the oDesk Platform, plus 18%.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

2.6 Buyout.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions
set forth above, Users may agree to provide or receive Services outside of the oDesk Platform with Users identified through oDesk.
If the Services are rendered more than three (3) years after the Client identifies the Freelancer through oDesk, no oDesk Fees
or buyout provisions apply. If Services are rendered outside of oDesk less than three (3) years after the Client identifies the
Freelancer through oDesk, payments for such Services will not be subject to the oDesk Fees, provided that the Client pays oDesk
a "Buy-Out" amount in accordance with the procedure set forth below:

 

	i.		Prior
                                         to contracting outside of oDesk to receive Services from a User identified through the
                                         oDesk system, the Client will notify oDesk in writing of its intent to pay the Buy-Out
                                         fee in lieu of the oDesk Fees.

	ii.		The
                                         Client will provide a good faith estimate of the then anticipated amount to be paid to
                                         the Freelancer for such Services during the fifty-two week period immediately following
                                         the date of such notice.

	iii.		The
                                         Client will pay or authorize oDesk to deduct from its account the greatest of (i) fifteen
                                         percent (15%) of the good faith estimate described above; (ii) fifty-two (52) times the
                                         "Average Weekly oDesk Fees" (as defined below); or (iii) five hundred dollars
                                         ($500). For purposes of the foregoing, the "Average Weekly oDesk Fees" means
                                         the average weekly amount of oDesk Fees that became due to oDesk based upon work performed
                                         for Client by the Freelancer over the four (4) weeks immediately preceding the buy-out
                                         notice described above, not counting any weeks in which no oDesk Fees became due.

 

2.7 Non-payment.

 

If Client fails to pay amounts
due under this Agreement, whether by cancelling Client's credit card, initiating an improper chargeback, or any other means, Client's
oDesk account will be suspended, no additional payments will be processed, and any work-in-progress will be stopped. Without limiting
other available remedies, Client must reimburse oDesk for amounts due upon demand, plus any applicable processing fees, charges
or penalties, plus interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowed by law, plus attorneys'
fees and other costs of collection as allowed by law. In its discretion, oDesk may setoff amounts due against other amounts received
from or held for Client, make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities, and cooperate with
them in any resulting investigation or prosecution.

 

2.8 Hold on funds.

 

In cases of fraud, abuse or
violation of this Agreement, the oDesk Payment Guarantee shall be revoked and all monies due to the Freelancer may be held and/or
reclaimed, not just those from the Contract(s) under investigation.

 

For Hourly-Rate Contracts
only, Clients may dispute hours during the dispute period following the close of a weekly invoice period. It is the Client's responsibility
to review the Work Diary and Time Log of every Service Contract on a weekly basis and to file any disputes on a timely basis. Once
the dispute period has passed, the charges are accepted by the Client and can no longer be disputed and can only be refunded by
the Freelancer. Disputes can only address the hours billed, not the quality of the work performed or deliverables. oDesk will promptly
investigate the Time Log to determine, in its sole discretion, whether an adjustment is appropriate. oDesk's determination shall
be final.

 

2.9 Dispute Resolution Policy.

 

For Hourly-Rate Contracts only, Clients may dispute hours during the dispute period
following the close of a weekly invoice period. It is the Client's responsibility to review the Work Diary and Time Log of every
Service Contract on a weekly basis and to file any disputes on a timely basis. Once the dispute period has passed, the charges
are accepted by the Client and can no longer be disputed and can only be refunded by the Freelancer. Disputes can only address
the hours billed, not the quality of the work performed or deliverables. oDesk will promptly investigate the Time Log to determine,
in its sole discretion, whether an adjustment is appropriate. oDesk's determination shall be final.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

2.10 Enforcement of Agreement and Policies.

 

oDesk has the right, but not
the obligation, to suspend or cancel your access to the oDesk Platform if it believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently
with the letter or spirit of this Agreement or violated our rights or those of another party. Without limiting oDesk's other remedies,
we may suspend or terminate your account, use self-help in connection with our rights to reclaim any available funds, and refuse
to provide any further access to the oDesk Platform to you if (a) you breach any terms and conditions of this Agreement or other
written policies and procedures posted on the Site; (b) we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to
us; or (c) we believe that your actions may cause legal liability for you, our Users or for oDesk. Once suspended or terminated,
you MAY NOT continue to use the oDesk Platform under a different account or reregister under a new account. If you attempt to use
the oDesk Platform under a different account, we reserve the right to reclaim available funds in that account and/or use an available
payment method to pay for any amounts outstanding. In addition, violations of this Agreement may be prosecuted to the fullest extent
of the law and may result in additional penalties and sanctions. When your User account is canceled, you may no longer have access
to any parts of the oDesk Platform, including data, messages, files and other material you keep on oDesk.

 

3. SERVICE CONTRACT TERMS BETWEEN
CLIENT AND FREELANCER.

 

Unless otherwise agreed to
in a writing signed by both Client and Freelancer, the terms and conditions of the Service Contract are as set forth in Sections
3.1 through 3.12 below ("Standard Terms"). Client and Freelancer may not agree to any other terms and conditions that
affect the rights or responsibilities of oDesk.

 

3.1 Services.

 

Freelancer shall perform Services
in a professional and workmanlike manner and shall timely deliver any agreed-upon Work Product.

 

3.2 Agency.

 

Work performed on Hourly-Rate Contracts under a Freelancer's profile must be performed
by the Freelancer represented. If the Freelancer wishes to subcontract with third parties to perform Services on behalf of the
Freelancer on Hourly-Rate Contracts, the Freelancer must do so as a legally recognized entity with the ability to hire and/or
contract (an "Agency"). Freelancer and Agency agree and acknowledge that Agency's employees or contract personnel are
not employees of oDesk or Client. Agency is solely responsible for all wages, costs, unemployment insurance, compensation insurance,
and expenses of Agency's employees or contract personnel and has the sole and exclusive right to supervise and control them. Agency
acknowledges and agrees that neither it, nor any of its employees or agents, shall have any claim under this Agreement for overtime
pay, sick leave, holiday or vacation pay, retirement benefits, worker's compensation benefits, unemployment benefits, or any other
employee benefits of any kind from oDesk or Client.

 

3.3 Client Payments and Billing.

 

Client shall pay the agreed-upon
amount for time spent (under Hourly-Rate Contracts) or the approved project (under Fixed-Price Contracts) to oDesk, and Client
will have no obligation of payment to Freelancer. Freelancer agrees that it will be paid solely by oDesk and Freelancer will not
have any recourse against Client if Freelancer is not paid by oDesk. For Hourly-Rate Contracts, Client is billed for hourly Freelancer
Fees on a weekly basis. For payments under Fixed-Price Contracts, Client is billed immediately.

 

3.4 Termination of a Service
Contract.

 

Under Hourly-Rate Contracts,
either party may terminate the Service Contract at any time for any or no reason. However, the Client remains obligated to pay
for any time the Freelancer worked prior to termination.

 

For Fixed-Price Contracts,
the Client may terminate at any time but may not recover any payments already made. The Freelancer may terminate a Fixed-Price
Contract at any time if no payment has been made. If a payment has been made on a Fixed Price Contract, the Freelancer may terminate
only with the Client's consent or after the payment has been refunded.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

3.5 Client Deliverables.

 

Client grants Freelancer a
limited, non-exclusive, revocable (at any time, at Client's sole discretion) right to use the Client Deliverables as necessary
for the performance of the Services. Client reserves all other rights and interest, including, without limitation, all Proprietary
Rights, in and to the Client Deliverables. Upon completion or termination of the Service Contract, or upon written request by the
Client, Freelancer shall immediately return all Client Deliverables to the Client and further agrees to purge all copies of Client
Deliverables and Work Product contained in or on Freelancer's premises, systems, or any other equipment otherwise under Freelancer's
control. Within ten (10) days of Client's request, Freelancer agrees to provide written certification to the Client that all Client
Deliverables have been returned or purged.

 

3.6 Work Product.

 

Proprietary Rights in Work Product shall be owned by Freelancer until payment has been
made by Client, at which time Freelancer will be deemed to have assigned all Proprietary Rights in the Work Product to Client.
For Hourly-Rate Contracts, Client must pay for all hours that qualify for the Payment Guarantee. For Fixed-Price Contracts, Client
has complete and sole discretion whether and how much to pay; however, if Client does not pay in full, Freelancer may terminate
the Service Contract by refunding any partial payment, and Freelancer will retain Proprietary Rights in Work Product. To the extent
that under applicable law, Proprietary Rights cannot be assigned, Freelancer hereby irrevocably agrees to grant, and hereby grants,
to Client an exclusive (excluding also Freelancer), perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, fully paid, and unconditional
license to use and commercialize Work Product in any manner now known or in the future discovered. To the extent such license
grant is not fully valid, effective or enforceable under applicable law, Freelancer hereby irrevocably agrees to grant, and hereby
grants, to Client, such rights as Client reasonably requests in order to acquire, as close as possible, all rights equivalent
to full legal ownership. In order to ensure that Client will be able to acquire, perfect and use such Proprietary Rights, Freelancer
will: (i) transfer possession, ownership, and title to media, models, and other tangible objects containing Work Product to Client,
including delivery of a complete copy of the source code for any software, documented in sufficient detail to enable a reasonably
skilled programmer to correct, integrate and modify it; (ii) sign any documents at Client's request to assist Client in the documentation,
perfection and enforcement of its rights; and (iii) provide Client with support and reasonable access to information for recording,
perfecting, securing, defending, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights in any and all countries. In the case that under applicable
law, Freelancer retains any rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as
or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral Rights") or other inalienable rights to Work Product
or Confidential Information under this Agreement, Freelancer irrevocably agrees to waive, and hereby waives, all such rights,
or, to the extent Freelancer cannot waive such rights, Freelancer agrees not to exercise such rights, until Freelancer has provided
prior written notice to Client and then only in accordance with any reasonable instructions that Client issues in the interest
of protecting its rights. Freelancer's obligations under this Section 3.6 will continue even after Freelancer deregisters from
or ceases use of the oDesk Platform. Freelancer appoints Client as Freelancer's attorney-in-fact to execute documents on Freelancer's
behalf for the purposes set forth in this Section 3.6.

 

3.7 Pre-existing Intellectual
Property in Work Product.

 

Freelancer shall ensure that
no Work Product created or delivered by Freelancer includes any pre-existing software, technology or other intellectual property,
whether such pre-existing intellectual property is owned by Freelancer or a third party including, without limitation, code written
by proprietary software companies or developers in the open source community (collectively "Pre-existing IP") without
obtaining the prior written consent of the Client to the inclusion of such Pre-existing IP in the Work Product. Freelancer acknowledges
that, without limiting any other remedies, Freelancer shall not be entitled to payment for, and shall refund to Client any payments
previously made by Client to Freelancer for, any Services performed on a Service Contract if the Work Product contains any Pre-existing
IP that was not approved in accordance with this Section 3.7.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

3.8 Worker classification.

 

Client assumes all liability for proper classification of Freelancers as independent
contractors or employees based on applicable legal guidelines. This Agreement does not create a partnership or agency relationship
between Client and Freelancer. Freelancer does not have authority to enter into written or oral - whether implied or express -
contracts on behalf of Client. Freelancer acknowledges that oDesk does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control Freelancer's
work or Services performed in any manner. oDesk does not set Freelancer's work hours and location of work, nor is oDesk involved
in determining if the compensation will be set at an hourly or fixed rate or in setting the particular rate for a service contract.
oDesk will not provide Freelancer with training or any equipment, labor or materials needed for a particular Contract. oDesk will
not deduct any amount for withholding, unemployment, Social Security, or other taxes as it would in the case of an employee. Client
and Freelancer will be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state,
or local tax authority, in any nation, with respect to Freelancer's performance of Services. For Contracts classified as independent
contractor relationships, Client may not require an exclusive relationship between Client and Freelancer. A Freelancer classified
as independent contractor is free at all times to provide Services to persons or businesses other than Client, including any competitor
of Client. For Contracts classified as employer-employee relationships, Client will manage the Service Contract through the payrolling
program made available on the oDesk Platform by a third-party payroll provider, where the Freelancer becomes an hourly employee
of such third-party payroll provider and Freelancer and Client enter into appropriate additional agreements. Client and Freelancer
agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend oDesk from any and all claims arising out of or related to their Service Contract,
including but not limited to claims that Freelancer was misclassified as an independent contractor, any liabilities arising from
a determination by a court, arbitrator, government agency or other body that Freelancer was misclassified (including, but not
limited to, taxes, penalties, interest and attorney's fees), any claim that oDesk was an employer or joint employer of Freelancer,
as well as claims under any employment-related laws, such as those relating to employment termination, employment discrimination,
harassment or retaliation, as well as any claims for overtime pay, sick leave, holiday or vacation pay, retirement benefits, worker's
compensation benefits, unemployment benefits, or any other employee benefits.

 

3.9 Audit Rights

 

Client and Freelancer each
shall (i) create and maintain records to document satisfaction of its obligations under this Agreement and any Service Contract,
including without limitation its payment obligations and compliance with tax laws, and (ii) provide copies of such records to oDesk
upon request. oDesk, or oDesk's advisors or agents, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to routinely, but no more frequently
than annually, audit Freelancer's operations and records to confirm compliance. Nothing in this provision should be construed as
providing oDesk with the right or obligation to supervise or monitor the actual Services performed by Freelancer.

 

3.10 Third Party Beneficiary

 

oDesk is hereby named as a
third party beneficiary of each Service Contract.

 

3.11 General.

 

Service Contracts shall be
governed by Sections 6 (Confidential Information), 11 (General), and 12 (Definitions) of this Agreement, as applicable either directly
or by way of analogy.

 

3.12 Entire Agreement.

 

The terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 3 and any additional or different terms expressly agreed by Client and Freelancer shall constitute the entire
agreement and understanding of Client and Freelancer with respect to each Service Contract and shall cancel and supersede any other
prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, representations, warranties, and/or other communications between them.

 

4. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS BY USER OF
ODESK'S ROLE.

 

4.1 Service Contracts.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

User expressly acknowledges, agrees and understands that: (i) the oDesk Platform is
merely a venue where Users may act as Clients or Freelancers; (ii) oDesk is not a party to any Service Contracts between Clients
and Freelancers; (iii) User recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that User is not an employee of oDesk and that oDesk does not,
in any way, supervise, direct, or control User's work or Services; (iv) oDesk shall not have any liability or obligations under
or related to Service Contracts or any acts or omissions by Users; (v) oDesk has no control over Freelancers or over the Services
promised or rendered by Freelancers; and, (vi) oDesk makes no representations as to the reliability, capability, or qualifications
of any Freelancer or the quality, security or legality of any Services, and oDesk disclaims any and all liability relating thereto.

 

4.2 Proprietary Rights.

 

oDesk and its licensors reserve
all Proprietary Rights in and to the oDesk Platform. User may not use the oDesk Platform except as necessary for the purposes of
discharging its obligations under this Agreement and any Service Contract entered into pursuant to this Agreement. oDesk reserves
the right to withdraw, expand and otherwise change the oDesk Platform at any time in oDesk's sole discretion. User shall not be
entitled to create any "links" to the oDesk Platform, or "frame" or "mirror" any content contained
on, or accessible through, the oDesk Platform, on any other server or internet-based device.

 

4.3 oDesk's Compensation.

 

All oDesk Fees are non-refundable,
whether or not Service Contracts were satisfactorily completed.

 

4.4 oDesk as a Limited Agent

 

From time to time, a User
may ask oDesk to provide a physical or manually signed copy of this Agreement, a Service Contract, or an ancillary document (for
example, to enable a User to withdraw payments from User's foreign bank account). User hereby appoints oDesk as its agent for the
limited purpose of executing documents that confirm User's activities on the oDesk Platform. oDesk will act on User's behalf and
in a clerical capacity, without in any way restricting oDesk's rights or expanding oDesk's obligations under this Agreement or
any Service Contract. Each User appoints oDesk as its agent to execute an Act of Acceptance or equivalent instrument on the User's
behalf documenting payments made or to be made to Freelancers or to oDesk, if another User so requests.

 

5. INVOICES AND PAYMENT METHODS.

 

5.1 Formal Invoices and Taxes.

 

oDesk shall have no responsibility
for determining the necessity of or for issuing any formal invoices, or for determining, remitting, or withholding any taxes applicable
to Freelancer Fees. Instead, Freelancer shall be solely responsible for determining whether it is required by applicable law to
issue any formal invoices for the Freelancer Fees and for issuing any invoices so required. Freelancer shall also be solely responsible
for: (a) determining whether Freelancer or oDesk is required by applicable law to remit to the appropriate authorities any value
added tax or any other taxes or similar charges applicable to the Freelancer Fees, and remitting any such taxes or charges to the
appropriate authorities on behalf of itself or oDesk, as appropriate; and (b) determining whether oDesk is required by applicable
law to withhold any amount of the Freelancer Fees, notifying oDesk of any such requirement and indemnifying oDesk (either by permitting
oDesk to offset the relevant amount against a future payment of Freelancer Fees or by refunding to oDesk the relevant amount, at
oDesk's sole discretion) for any requirement to pay any withholding amount to the appropriate authorities. oDesk shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to audit and monitor Freelancer's compliance with applicable tax laws as required by this Section
5.1. Further, in the event of an audit of oDesk, Freelancer agrees to promptly cooperate with oDesk and provide copies of Freelancer's
tax returns, and other documents as may be reasonably requested for purposes of such audit.

 

5.2 Payment Methods.

 

Client hereby authorizes oDesk
to run credit card authorizations on all credit cards provided by Client, to store credit card details as Client's method of payment
for Services, and to charge Client's credit card (or any other form of payment authorized by oDesk or mutually agreed to between
Client and oDesk). oDesk may, in its sole discretion, deviate from its typical billing cycle for Hourly-Rate Contracts and charge
Client for any and all Time Logs at any time.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

5.3 Payment Guarantee.

 

oDesk guarantees payment to
Freelancers working on Hourly-Rate Contracts where the Client has a verified payment method, the time represented is captured online
using the oDesk Team software, the work performed and captured pertains directly to the Service Contract billed, and each Time
Log is annotated with appropriate work memos describing the work performed (the "Payment Guarantee"). Determination of
whether these criteria have been met is at the sole discretion of oDesk. The Payment Guarantee will not apply to Freelancers or
Contracts in violation of this Agreement, where Freelancer does not meet clear specifications of the Service Contract, where the
Freelancer is aware of or complicit in another User's violation of this Agreement, or where there is any other involvement in fraudulent
activities or abuse of this Payment Guarantee.

 

6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

 

6.1 Confidentiality.

 

To the extent a Client or
Freelancer provides Confidential Information to the other, the recipient shall protect the secrecy of the Confidential Information
with the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event with less than due care, and
shall not: (i) disclose Confidential Information to anyone except, in the case of oDesk, to any Client or Freelancer engaged in
a Contract; and (ii) use the Confidential Information, except as necessary for the performance of Services for the relevant Service
Contract (including, without limitation, the storage or transmission of Confidential Information on or through oDesk Platform for
use by Freelancer).

 

6.2 Return.

 

If and when Confidential Information
is no longer needed for the performance of Services for the relevant Contract, or at the Client's or Freelancer's written request
(which may be made at any time at Client's or Freelancer's sole discretion), Client or Freelancer (as the case may be) shall promptly
destroy or return all Confidential Information and any copies thereof contained in or on its premises, systems, or any other equipment
otherwise under its control. Each of Client or Freelancer, as applicable, agrees to provide written certification to the party
disclosing the Confidential Information of compliance with this Section 6.2 within ten (10) days after the receipt of disclosing
party's written request to certify.

 

6.3 Publication.

 

Without limiting Section 6.1
(Confidentiality), Client, Freelancer and oDesk shall not publish, or cause to be published, any Confidential Information or Work
Product, except as may be necessary for performance of Services for a Contract.

 

7. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER.

 

ODESK MAKES NO EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS
OR WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THE SERVICES, WORK PRODUCT, ODESK PLATFORM OR ANY ACTIVITIES OR ITEMS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. TO
THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ODESK DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SECTION 10.2 (TERMINATION)
STATES USER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST ODESK WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFECTS, NON-CONFORMANCES OR DISSATISFACTION.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

 

IN NO EVENT WILL ODESK BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY
OR INDIRECT COSTS OR DAMAGES, LITIGATION COSTS, INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL COSTS, OR LOSS OF DATA, PRODUCTION OR PROFIT. THE LIABILITY
OF ODESK TO ANY USER FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) U.S.
$2,500; AND (B) ANY ODESK FEES RETAINED BY ODESK WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACTS ON WHICH USER WAS INVOLVED AS CLIENT OR FREELANCER
DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO ANY LIABILITY, ARISING FROM
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH COSTS OR DAMAGES AND EVEN IF THE LIMITED REMEDIES PROVIDED HEREIN FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

9. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

9.1 Proprietary Rights.

 

Each User shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless oDesk and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, representatives and agents (each
an "Indemnified Party" for purposes of this Section 9) from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses
(including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and all related costs and expenses) arising from or relating to any
claim, judgment, or adjudication that any Work Product, Services or action or omission by such User infringes Proprietary Rights
or other rights of any third party.

 

9.2 Indemnification by Client.

 

Each Client shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and all related costs and expenses) arising from or relating to (i) such Client's
use of Services, including without limitation claims by or on behalf of any Freelancer for Worker's Compensation or unemployment
benefits, or (ii) any Service Contract entered into between such Client and a Freelancer.

 

9.3 Indemnification by Freelancer.

 

Each Freelancer shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and all related costs and expenses) arising from or relating to (i) such Freelancer's
provision of Services, or (ii) any Service Contract entered into between such Freelancer and a Client.

 

10. TERM AND TERMINATION.

 

10.1 Term.

 

The term of this Agreement
commences on the Effective Date and continues in effect until terminated in accordance with Section 10.2 below.

 

10.2 Termination.

 

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, effective
immediately upon written notice to the other party (or by terminating or suspending User's account), provided, that any such termination
for convenience shall not affect the validity of any Service Contracts that have been executed prior to termination and this Agreement
shall continue to apply with respect to such Service Contracts.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

10.3 Consequences of Termination.

 

Termination shall not relieve
Client of the requirement to pay for time spent and expenses incurred prior to the effective date of the termination, which fees
and expenses, together with any applicable taxes, shall be charged to Client's credit card or other form of payment pursuant to
Section 5.2 (Payment Methods). Subject to Section 2.9 (Dispute Resolution Policy), oDesk shall pay Freelancer, in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5 (Invoices and Payment Methods), for all time recorded in the Time Logs incurred prior to the effective
date of the termination.

 

10.4 Survival.

Agreement shall survive any termination thereof.

the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to its subject matter and cancels and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous
discussions, agreements, representations, warranties, and other communications between them.

 

11.2 Side Agreements.

 

Section 11.1 notwithstanding,
Clients and Freelancers may enter into any supplemental or other written agreement that they deem appropriate (e.g., confidentiality
agreement, work for hire agreement, assignment of rights, etc.). The terms and conditions of this Agreement, however, will govern
and supersede any term or condition in a side agreement that purports to expand oDesk's obligations or restrict oDesk's rights
under this Agreement.

 

11.3 Compliance.

 

User shall not violate any
laws or third party rights on or related to the oDesk Platform. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User agrees to
comply with all applicable import and export control laws and third parties' Proprietary Rights.

 

11.4 Notices: Consent to Electronic
Notice.

 

You consent to the use of (a) electronic means to complete this Agreement and to deliver
any notices pursuant to this Agreement; and (b) electronic records to store information related to this Agreement or your use
of the oDesk Platform. Notices hereunder shall be invalid unless made in writing and given (a) by oDesk via email (in each case
to the email address that you provide), (b) a posting on the oDesk Site or (c) by you via email to support@odesk.com or to such
other addresses as oDesk may specify in writing. The date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

 

11.5 Modifications.

 

No modification or amendment
to this Agreement shall be binding upon oDesk unless in a written instrument signed by a duly authorized representative of oDesk.
For the purposes of this Section 11.5, a written instrument shall expressly exclude electronic communications such as email and
electronic notices but shall include facsimiles.

 

11.6 No Waiver.

 

The failure or delay of either
party to exercise or enforce any right or claim does not constitute a waiver of such right or claim and shall in no way affect
that party's right to later enforce or exercise it, unless such party issues an express written waiver, signed by a duly authorized
representative of each party.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

11.7 Assignability.

 

User may not assign this Agreement,
or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without oDesk's prior written consent in the form of a written instrument signed
by a duly authorized representative of oDesk (and, for the purposes of this Section 11.7, a written instrument shall expressly
exclude electronic communications such as email and electronic notices but shall include facsimiles). oDesk may freely assign this
Agreement without consent of User. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section will be null and void. Subject
to the foregoing restrictions, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

 

11.8 Severability.

 

If and to the extent any provision
of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion
thereof shall be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality,
invalidity, or unenforceability, and shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give
the maximum effect to the intent of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction
shall not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or of any other
provision in any jurisdiction.

 

11.9 Choice of Law.

 

This Agreement and any controversy,
dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including by not limited to a Service Contract, ("Claims")
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law
provisions and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

 

11.10 Dispute Resolution; Arbitration;
Personal Jurisdiction and Venue.

 

oDesk and User hereby agree
that any Claims shall first be settled through negotiation or according to the Dispute Resolution Policy set forth in Section 2.9
above. If a Claim (other than a Claim for injunctive or other equitable relief) remains unresolved by these means, either party
will have the right to demand binding non-appearance based arbitration by a third party service mutually agreed upon by the parties.
A final judgment will be made by the arbitrator, which must be adhered to by both parties and by oDesk, as applicable. You agree
that any Claim you may have against oDesk, if not resolved as set forth above, must be resolved by the California state courts
of San Mateo County (or, if there is exclusive federal jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California). You hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts.
