FATHERS EVE® PROGRAM AGREEMENT 2027

This FATHERS EVE® PROGRAM AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is an agreement by and between FATHERS EVE, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“we,” “us” or “our”), and you or the entity you represent (“you” or “your”) and contains the terms and conditions that govern your promotion and hosting of a “Fathers Eve” event on Saturday, June 19, 2027, at the geographic location requested by you (“Designated Territory”) in the web pages or documents used by you to request permission to host such an event.

THIS AGREEMENT TAKES EFFECT AFTER YOU CLICK A “SUBMIT” OR “I ACCEPT” CHECK BOX OR BUTTON PRESENTED WITH THESE TERMS AND YOU RECEIVE SUBSEQUENT CONFIRMATION FROM US THAT YOUR DESIGNATED TERRITORY HAS BEEN APPROVED (THE “EFFECTIVE DATE”). YOU REPRESENT TO US THAT YOU ARE LAWFULLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT FOR AN ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT TO US THAT YOU HAVE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT ENTITY. IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE CONFIRMATION FROM US THAT YOUR DESIGNATED TERRITORY HAS BEEN APPROVED OR YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO HOLD A FATHERS EVE EVENT.

We have developed certain concepts, policies, procedures, and techniques for hosting events and experiences for men, and particularly, fathers, to attend, featuring entertainment, activities, community service, and sponsorships (a “Fathers Eve Event”), on the day before Father’s Day, a day which we designate as “Fathers Eve,” using other proprietary names and information we have developed. You would like to promote and host a Fathers Eve Event this year. We have agreed to work with you under this Agreement.

Therefore, in consideration of our mutual promises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which we each acknowledge, you and we agree as follows:

1.) Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we hereby grant to you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, one-time license (the “License”) to use the concepts, methods, procedures, and techniques we have developed for marketing and hosting Fathers Eve Events (collectively, “Our Policies”), and to use the “Fathers Eve” name, logo and taglines, and other proprietary names or marks we have developed (the “Trademarks”) solely in marketing and hosting one or more Fathers Eve Events on June 19, 2027, in the Designated Territory. We will provide you with information concerning Our Policies. Our Policies will remain our property, and you will maintain them in confidence. Upon your reasonable request, we will also provide phone and email support to you during normal business hours to promote and host your Fathers Eve Events. We and our representatives will have the right to attend your Fathers Eve Events, without cost, to observe and inspect the activities, and to interview attendees and your employees and agents, without prior notice. All references in this Agreement to “your Fathers Eve Events,” will include references to the Fathers Eve Events marketed and hosted by you under this Agreement.

2.) Marketing and Sponsorships.

(a) Internet. We will maintain a website for marketing Fathers Eve Events under the Trademarks (“Our Website”). At your request, we will provide you (i) webpage links on Our Website for the advertisement of your Fathers Eve Events, and (ii) a Facebook event page for your Fathers Eve Events, all of which will be based on templates we provide. You hereby authorize us to include on these pages any additional content we desire to include, including sponsorships, advertising, promotions, and solicitations, and all revenues derived therefrom belong to us. We will not be liable to you for our failure to fulfill our obligations with respect to these pages if our failure is caused by power outages, system failures, downtimes, viruses, or any other cause that is not within our exclusive control. You will advertise your Fathers Eve Events on the Internet only on the pages we provide to you and as we otherwise approve. We have agreed that you have our approval to use meetup.com, and your own website/blog, as well as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts to promote your Fathers Eve Events.

(b) Local Marketing. You will, at your expense, conduct local marketing campaigns and promotional programs designed primarily to promote your Fathers Eve Events (collectively, “Local Marketing”). All Local Marketing must meet our specifications. Before using any marketing or promotional materials, advertisements, or other advertising not prepared by or at our direction, you must submit such items to us for our prior approval.

(c) Sponsorships. You may obtain third-party local, regional, and national sponsors for your Fathers Eve Events (collectively, “Your Sponsors”), and any revenues you receive from Your Sponsors will belong to you; provided, however, that all Your Sponsors are subject to our prior approval. You acknowledge that we may obtain third-party local, regional, and national sponsors for your Fathers Eve Events or any other Fathers Eve Event (collectively, “Our Sponsors”), that any revenues we receive from Our Sponsors belong solely to us, and that in some cases, we may grant exclusive sponsorships that may preempt your ability to obtain a competing sponsorship. We reserve the right to advertise Our Sponsors and Your Sponsors on Our Website, including on the webpage for your Fathers Eve Events, and on other social media we select, and you will display any signage for Our Sponsors or Your Sponsors in the manner we prescribe at your Fathers Eve Events and on any Local Marketing.

3.) Your Fathers Eve Events. You will host your Fathers Eve Events on Fathers Eve in the Designated Territory. You are responsible for all expenses you incur in promoting and hosting your Fathers Eve Events. You agree, however, to comply with Our Policies pertaining to the promotion and operation of your Fathers Eve Events. You will not sell any tangible products at your Fathers Eve Events, without our prior approval, which approval may be withheld in our sole discretion. Under no circumstances will you have the right to license any supplier or others to use or reproduce any of the Trademarks on any products or otherwise. However, if we offer any products for sale to consumers at any Fathers Eve Event we host, we will make those products available for you to purchase at wholesale prices (which may include a profit to us). You are not obligated to purchase any such products, but if you choose to do so, you must pay us the purchase price for such products in advance, unless we make other credit arrangements with you. All such items will be shipped F.O.B. from a provider.

4.) Our Trademarks. You will operate under, and prominently display, the Trademarks in the marketing and operation of your Fathers Eve Events in the manner we specify, and pursuant to Our Policies. We have the right to review and approve your use of the Trademarks. You agree to correct any uses that we deem, in our sole discretion, to fall below our standards of quality. You may not use all or part of any of the Trademarks, or any similar name, word, symbol or variant thereof, in a company name, domain name, account name, profile or URL, except as we specifically approve. You acknowledge that we own the Trademarks and your right to use the Trademarks is derived solely from this Agreement. All such usage and any goodwill established thereby will inure to our exclusive benefit. You waive any right to challenge our entitlement or ownership of the Trademarks.

5.) Consideration to Us - Information. You are not required to pay any fees to us or our affiliates under this Agreement. Rather, we have granted the License to you to enable us to have a test on the viability of Fathers Eve Events in various markets. Thus, in consideration for the grant of the License, you agree to provide us such information as we may require from time to time, including but not limited to budgets, contracts you enter into with third parties, attendee names and addresses (including email addresses), marketing and sponsorship and operating information, sales and expense information, and any other pertinent information concerning the marketing and hosting of your Fathers Eve Events, and such other information relating to your Fathers Eve Events as from time to time we may reasonably require (collectively, the “Information”). We may use the Information in any manner and for any purpose we, in our sole and absolute judgment, deem appropriate. All Information we obtain from you (including, but not limited to, attendee names and addresses) or about your Fathers Eve Events, and all revenues we derive from the Information, is our property. You are responsible for obtaining from your attendees appropriate permission for you to share their personal information with us. You may use the Information to the extent lawful and at your sole risk and responsibility, but only in connection with marketing and hosting your Fathers Eve Events. The Information will become our Confidential Information, which we may use for any reason we deem necessary or appropriate. You and we will comply with all applicable laws pertaining to the privacy and security of personal information, including, but not limited to, local, regional, and national requirements applicable to your Fathers Eve Events.

6.) Indemnification. You agree to indemnify us against and reimburse us for, all obligations and damages for which we are liable and for all costs we reasonably incur in the defense of any such claim brought against us, or in any such action in which we are named as a party, arising out of any act or omission of yours (i) as a result of any activities occurring at, by, for or through your Fathers Eve Events, or (ii) in breach of the terms of this Agreement. Such indemnification will include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation or proof of facts, court costs, other litigation expenses, and travel and living expenses. We will have the right to defend any such claim against us.

7.) Restrictive Covenant. You acknowledge that we must be protected against the potential for unfair competition by your use of Our Policies, assistance, and trade secrets in direct competition with us. You therefore agree that you will not, in 2028 or 2029, either directly or indirectly: (a) operate, own, market, host, manage or be employed by or consult with, any event specifically directed toward fathers (whether or not directed to men in general) that offer activities and entertainment to fathers, whether or not they include community service opportunities or sponsorships on the Thursday or Friday immediately preceding Father’s Day, on Father’s Eve, on Father’s Day, or on the day (or night) following Father’s Day (a “Competitive Event”) other than one operated under a valid agreement with us; or (b) divert or attempt to divert any of Our Sponsors to any competitor of ours, or to sponsor a Competitive Event, or attempt to persuade any of Our Sponsors to terminate their business relationship with us. You agree that the restriction contained in this Section 7 is reasonable and necessary to protect our interests and the interests of our other licensees. If you violate this restriction, then in addition to any damages we incur for which you will be liable, we will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent the continuation of such breach.
