By clicking “I Agree” the Provider named below (“Provider”) agrees to the following terms and conditions with Storm Advisor, INC. (“Company”).

Background

• Provider is in the business of providing insurance, restoration and/or general contractor services to homeowners.
• Company operates an online community at www.stormadvisor.com (the “Site”), where customers may request information or connect with adjusters, restoration contractors, and general contractors.
• The parties wish to set forth their understandings concerning the manner and circumstances whereby Company can forward leads to Provider in exchange for compensation.

NOW THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound and acknowledging the receipt of adequate consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Generation of Leads by Company. Company may, in such manner and at such times as may be mutually agreed by the parties, provide to Provider the names, phone numbers, addresses, and/or email addresses of persons who have expressed an interest in acquiring services of the Provider by completing a form at the Site or by other means deemed necessary by Company (each such person, a “Lead”), provided that Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to forward information only for persons who list as a city and state of residence one of the jurisdictions designated by Provider. The information provided to Provider by Company with respect to a Lead (i) shall include information sufficient to allow Provider to contact the Lead and such other information concerning the Lead and the requested services as the parties may mutually agree from time to time, including the Lead’s address including city and state of residence; but (ii) shall not be construed as an application for service, an agreement for services rendered by Provider, Letter of Representation, or any other contracts of any kind. The communication in which Company provides such information to Provider is referred to in this Agreement as a “Lead Notice.” Company shall send a separate Lead Notice for each Lead.
2. Response of Provider. Upon receipt of a Lead Notice, Provider may, but shall not be required to, contact the Lead, either by telephone (if a telephone number is provided in the Lead Notice) by email, or through the proprietary Storm Adviser marketplace platform. If the Provider determines to contact the Lead it shall do so within twenty four (24) hours of receiving the request. Following contact with a lead, Provider shall provide Company with such information as Company may request from time to time, including but not limited information concerning any services contracted with such Lead.
3. Representations of Provider. Provider hereby represents as follows to Company:
   1. Provider is currently and will remain licensed to conduct the business contemplated by this Agreement in each of the jurisdictions for which it requests Leads.
   2. Provider will promptly notify Company of (i) the closing of any deal with a Lead generated by Company, (ii) any complaints made by a Lead generated by Company in connection with Provider’s services, or any adverse actions taken against Provider by any regulatory body.
   3. Provider shall not refer to Company as a public adjuster or contractor in any official or non-official communications or take any actions (other than the actions specifically authorized by this Agreement) that would be reasonably likely to lead to the characterization of Company as a public adjuster or contractor.
   4. In dealing with Leads, Provider shall conduct itself with no less courtesy, responsiveness, and professionalism than it uses in dealing with its other customers.
   5. Provider shall make such investigation of Leads and related matters as Provider determines in its sole discretion.

4. Responsibilities of Company. Following the transmission of a Lead Notice, Company shall have no obligation with respect to the contemplated services or the relationship between Provider and the Lead. Without limiting the foregoing, Company shall not participate in any negotiations between Provider and the Lead or provide any additional information concerning the Lead to Provider, or vice-versa.
5. No Representations Concerning Leads. Company makes no representations concerning Leads or the information they provide. Without limitation, Company does not represent that:
   4. The information provided by a Lead, including the Lead’s city and state of residence, is accurate;
   5. A Lead is a registered user of Company;
   6. The arrangement with Company will generate any particular number of Leads;
   7. Leads referred by Company will lead to closed deals; or
   8. A Lead is a real person.

Company shall not provide Leads with any rate quotes from Provider, provide any other information concerning Provider to Leads (other than ratings, reviews, and publicly-available information), or make any representations concerning Provider to Leads, except as authorized by Provider in writing in advance.
7. Ownership of Intellectual Property. Company is the exclusive owner of the Site and all of the intellectual property rights associated with the Site, including all trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, designs, algorithms, and software, even if Company incorporates into the Site suggestions made by Provider.
