Hoosiers Connect Terms and Conditions

Hoosiers Connect Inc (“HCI”) is a non-profit corporation that helps commercial enterprises
promote their businesses, services, and products by engaging with Indiana University student-
athletes to use their name, image, and likeness (“NIL”). HCI is making available to approved
participants a series of exclusive benefits according to the participation tier joined. Participation
in HCI does not make the contributing individual or organization a member of HCI, or confer
any rights or obligations with respect to HCI except as described in these Terms and Conditions.
A condition of being a participant of HCI is agreement to all of these Terms and Conditions. HCI
retains sole discretion to admit interested participants into HCI.
HCI Tier Participation Levels

HCI will offer different tiers of participation. Each tier of participation will have a list of core
benefits the participant will receive along with a list of additional benefit options from which the
participant can select. HCI will provide the participant with the cost of each tier of participation
along with the list of benefits associated with each tier.

Required HCI Tier Participant Contributions

The admitted participants of HCI commit to a one-year participation at the established
contribution level for the tier of participation selected. An HCI participant’s participation year
shall commence on the date the participant agrees to these Terms and Conditions and will run for
one year. HCI participants may pay their required contribution by paying either (a) one lump-
sum at the time they sign up for HCI or (b) monthly installments for each month of their
participation year. By selecting a participation tier via the appropriate link on the HCI website,
the admitted participant is agreeing to comply with these Terms and Conditions and make the
required contributions corresponding to that tier.

Additional Terms and Conditions

You agree to the following additional terms and conditions:

• Your annual participation (and agreement to make the required contributions for the
  participation tier selected) shall automatically renew for a one-year participation on the
  anniversary date of your agreement to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not wish to
  auto-renew participation for the following year, you must give HCI notice at least 30
  days before the auto-renew date by selecting cancellation via the appropriate link on the
  HCI website.
• All required payments shall be made by automatic electronic payment (credit card, debit
  card, or automatic checking account draft) or by delivering a check made out to Hoosiers
  Connect Inc.
• In the case of an ACH Transaction being rejected for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF), HCI
  may, at its discretion, attempt to process the charge again within 30 days, and you agree
  to an additional $32.00 charge for each attempt returned NSF which will be initiated as a
  separate transaction for the authorized recurring payment.
• You shall comply with all laws, rules, and regulations governing NIL.
• HCI retains sole discretion to cancel participation in HCI for “Cause.” A termination by
  HCI is for “Cause” if (a)  you are in material breach of these Terms and Conditions or (b)
  if, in the sole judgment and discretion of HCI’s Executive Director, your actions are
  determined to be immoral, deceptive, scandalous, or obscene or otherwise reasonably
  likely to injure, tarnish, damage, or otherwise negatively affect the reputation or goodwill
  associated with HCI. If HCI terminates your participation, you will not be obligated to
  make any further payments. However, any payments already received by HCI shall not
  be refunded.
• HCI will strive to take your preferences into account when selecting the student athletes
  who will be involved in the various benefits available to the participant under these
  Terms and Conditions, determining the dates when those benefits will be provided, and
  planning other aspects of each benefit. You, however, understand that HCI may not be
  able to accommodate those preferences and that HCI retains sole discretion to determine
  how it will provide the benefits contemplated under these Terms and Conditions.
• HCI shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions or
  otherwise liable for any costs or losses you sustain or incur if HCI’s performance of its
  obligations is prevented or delayed by any act or omission on your part or your agents,
  subcontractors, consultants, or employees.
• You shall not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these
  Terms and Conditions without the prior written consent of HCI.
• These Terms and Conditions are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their
  respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is
  intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right,
  benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms and
  Conditions.
• IN NO EVENT WILL HCI BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL,
  INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
  WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
  NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE
  WAS FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN
  ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
• IN NO EVENT WILL HCI’S LIABILITY TO ANY PARTICIPANT OF HCI ARISING
  OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND
  PARTICIPATION IN HCI, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO
  BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE,
  EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO HCI BY SUCH
  PARTICIPANT OF HCI IN THE PARTICIPATION YEAR PRECEDING THE EVENT
  GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
•  No waiver by HCI of any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions is effective
  unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by HCI. No failure by HCI to exercise, or
  delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from these Terms and
  Conditions operates or may be construed as a waiver thereof.
• Your rights and obligations, including these Terms and Conditions, shall be governed in
  accordance with and pursuant to the internal laws of the State of Indiana, without regard
  to choice of law rules.
• The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall
  in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
  These Terms and Conditions must conform to all NIL rules and regulations put in place
  under federal and state laws, NCAA rules, athletic conference rules, and university rules.
  If any of those rules or regulations change, HCI reserves the right to unilaterally adjust
  the benefit program to ensure full compliance.
