1. THE PLATFORM.

‍1.1 Purpose of the Platform.The Platform has been created to offer services (the "Services") to users requesting services to be performed (each, a " Client"). Runway is a third-party independent contractor to Clients and may engage certain individuals that have obtained the conditions required by the Site (you, in such capacity, a "Contractor") to perform Services for Clients. Under this Agreement, Runway provides access to the Site to you in your capacity as a Contractor. Our services include performing Services for Clients, including recruiting and coordinating Contractors to perform such Services when appropriate. Clients post jobs and invite applications, which may be fulfilled by Contractors on behalf of Runway. Contractors post profiles to compete to be selected for jobs. If a Client and Runway agree on terms, a contract is formed between Client and Runway, and between Runway and any applicable Contractor, for the performance of such Services (each such contract, a "Service Contract"). Runway collects payment from Clients in connection with their acceptance of a Contractor bid through the Platform. Runway then pays Contractors as appropriate in connection with Contractors' delivery of Services once the Work Product (as defined below) is accepted by Client.1.2 Eligibility.The use of the Site 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. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) a citizen or resident of a country in which use or participation in the Platform 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 Commerceʼs Denied Persons or Entity List, the U.S. Department of Treasuryʼs Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons Lists, or the Department of Stateʼs 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 (collectively, a "Prohibited Person"). You also hereby represent and warrant to Runway that you are qualified and legally permitted to perform Services in the United States (a "Permitted Person").

Funds become payable to Contractors after Clients pay Runway and after Clients accept work submitted by Runway, or a Contractor on behalf of Runway. Contractors may ask Runway to expedite payments. Runway reserves the right to refuse any such request and may assess a processing fee in connection with such a request.3.3 Hold on Funds.In cases of fraud, abuse or violation of this Agreement, all monies due to Contractor may be held and/or reclaimed, not just those from the Service Contract(s) under investigation.3.4 Tax Reporting.Runway is a third-party processor, and pursuant to Section 6050W of the Internal Revenue Code, Runway will provide a 1099-K form to the Internal Revenue Service for any Contractor based in the United States who is paid over $20,000 through the Platform and participates in over 200 separate Service Contracts in a single calendar year.Except as provided for above, Runway will have no responsibility for determining the necessity of or for issuing any tax forms, or for determining, remitting, or withholding any taxes applicable to Fees and Contractor will be solely responsible for: (a) determining whether Contractor is required by applicable law to file any tax forms or remit to the appropriate authorities any taxes or similar charges applicable to the Fees, and filing any such tax forms and remitting any such taxes or charges to the appropriate authorities.

4. SERVICE CONTRACT TERMS; WORKER CLASSIFICATION.‍

‍The terms and conditions of the Service Contract applicable to Contractor are as set forth in this Agreement. Client and Contractor may not agree to any other terms and conditions with respect to any such Service Contract, or that otherwise affect the rights or responsibilities of Runway as described herein, except with respect to entering standard confidentiality agreements not impacting Runway. It is the intent of Runway, Client and Contractor that Contractors will be properly classified as independent contractors of Runway and Client agrees (a) that Client does not in any way supervise, direct, or control Contractorʼs work and (b) that Client does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control Contractorʼs work hours and location of work. You further agree: (i) that you are not an employee of Runway or Client and that Runway and Client does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control your work or Services; (ii) Runway will not have any liability or obligations under or related to Service Contracts or any acts or omissions by you or other users; (iii) Runway and Client have no control over you or over the Services promised or rendered by you; and (iv) you have the skills to independently perform the Services for the Client. To the extent that you are aware that Client or Runway has acted or failed to act in accordance with the terms of this Article 4, you will promptly (but in no event in more than forty-eight (48) hours after becoming aware of any such act or failure to act) notify Runway in writing of any such act or omission.This Agreement does not create a partnership or agency relationship between Client and Contractor. Contractor does not have authority to enter written or oral, whether implied or express, contracts on behalf of Client or Runway. Runway will not deduct any amount for withholding, unemployment, Social Security, or other taxes as it would in the case of an employee.

Contractor further acknowledges and agrees that jobs are intended to be short-term, and project based, and unrelated to the regular business of Runway.Contractor shall not be eligible or entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans offered generally by Runway or Client to Runway’s or Client's employees or others.

Runway and Client have no responsibility for Contractor's independent business and nothing in this Agreement reduces Contractor's responsibility to conduct his/her business responsibly.

Runway hereby grants to you a limited, non-exclusive sublicense to use instructions, materials, information and any other intellectual property that Client provides to you in connection with a particular Service Contract (collectively, the "Client Materials"), and the intellectual property rights therein, solely for the performance of the Services. Client reserves all other rights and interest in and to the Client Materials. Upon completion or termination of the Service Contract, or upon written request by Client or Runway, you will immediately return all Client Materials to Client and purge all copies of Client Materials and Work Product contained in or on your premises, systems, or any other equipment otherwise under your control.

In the event that the Receiving Party is required by law to make any disclosure of any of Disclosing Partyʼs Confidential Information, by subpoena, judicial or administrative order or otherwise, the Receiving Party will first give written notice of such requirement to the Disclosing Party, and will permit the Disclosing Party to intervene in any relevant proceedings to protect its interests in the Confidential Information, and provide full cooperation and assistance to the Disclosing Party in seeking to obtain such protection.8.3 Contractor will not disclose to Runway or Client any information that constitutes material, non-public information about any third party, information that Contractor has a duty or obligation to keep confidential (whether by agreement, law, rule, regulation, fiduciary duty, or other similar obligation or restriction), information the disclosure of which would be in violation of securities laws and/or information that is proprietary to a third party (including past or present employers or companies for which Contractor have consulted) and not owned solely by Contractor.8.4 Except as provided in our Privacy Policy, if and when Confidential Information is no longer needed for the performance of Services for this Agreement or the relevant Service Contract, or at the Disclosing Party's written request (which may be made at any time at the Disclosing Party's sole discretion), the Receiving Party will promptly destroy or return all Confidential Information and any copies thereof of the Disclosing Party contained in or on its premises, systems, or any other equipment otherwise under its control.

Client Terms of Service
These Client Terms of Service (this "Agreement") is a contract between you ("you") and Runway Services Inc, a Delaware C corporation ("Runway", "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.Runway.io (the "Site") and related software and services (collectively, the "Platform"). Runway may amend this Agreement at any time with fifteen (15) days written notice to you. Your continued use of the Runway 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 or linked herein, including our Privacy Policy, as such agreements and policies may be modified by Runway from time to time in its sole discretion. In the event of a conflict between the terms of such policies and agreements and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement control.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY REGISTERING WITH Runway OR BY USING THE 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 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 PLATFORM.

1.1 Purpose of the Platform. The Platform has been created to offer services (the "Services") to users requesting services to be performed (you, in such capacity, a "Client"). Runway is a third-party independent contractor to Clients and may engage certain individuals that have obtained the conditions required by the Site (each, a "Contractor") to perform Services for Clients. Under this Agreement, Runway provides Services to you in your capacity as a Client. Our Services include performing Services for Clients (often by engaging Contractors to perform Services on behalf of Runway). Clients retain Runway to perform Services, and may select certain Contractors to perform such Services on behalf of Runway. Contractors submit profiles to compete to be selected for jobs. If a Client and Runway agree on terms for certain Services, a contract is formed between Client and Runway, and between Runway and any applicable Contractors, for the performance of such Services (each such contract, a "Service Contract"). Runway collects payment from Clients in connection with their acceptance of a Contractor bid through the Runway platform. Runway then pays Contractors as appropriate in connection with Contractors' delivery of Services once the Work Product (as defined below) is accepted by Client. 1.2 Eligibility. The use of the Site 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. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) a citizen or resident of, or registered, incorporated, located or doing business in, a country in which use or participation in the Platform is prohibited by law, decree, regulation, treaty or administrative act; (b) a citizen or resident of, or registered, incorporated, located or doing business 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. If you are any such person, you may not use the Site, and you hereby agree to indemnify Runway against any claims arising from any breach by you of this Section 1.2.
