**INTRODUCTION & ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT** This Affiliate Program Agreement (“Agreement”) governs participation in the Real Honest Tallow Ambassador Program (“Program”), operated by Real Honest Tallow, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company (“Company,” “Real Honest Tallow,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By applying to participate in the Program, an applicant (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”) agrees to be bound by this Agreement upon affirmative acceptance. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval or authorization to promote the Company as an Affiliate. The Program allows approved Affiliates to promote designated Real Honest Tallow products using authorized referral links and earn commissions on qualifying purchases, subject to the eligibility requirements, payment terms, advertising standards, and other provisions contained in this Agreement. **1. PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY & APPROVAL** Participation in the Program is limited to individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and businesses legally authorized to enter into binding agreements. All applications are subject to review and approval by Real Honest Tallow, LLC. The Company reserves the right to approve or reject applicants based on legitimate business considerations, including brand alignment, promotional practices, and compliance with applicable law. Applicants are not authorized to represent themselves as approved Real Honest Tallow Affiliates until the Company has formally approved their participation. 2. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP Affiliates participate in the Real Honest Tallow Ambassador Program as independent contractors and not as employees, partners, agents, franchisees, or legal representatives of Real Honest Tallow, LLC. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the Company and an Affiliate. Affiliates retain control over their independent promotional activities, subject to applicable laws and the advertising, intellectual property, and brand protection requirements established by the Company. Affiliates are not authorized to enter into contracts, incur expenses, make representations, or assume obligations on behalf of Real Honest Tallow, LLC. Affiliates are responsible for their own business expenses, equipment, internet access, promotional costs, and applicable taxes, except where otherwise expressly agreed in writing. The parties acknowledge that an Affiliate's legal classification is determined by the actual working relationship and applicable law, not merely by the designation contained in this Agreement. 3. AFFILIATE COMMISSIONS AND PAYMENT TERMS 3.1 Commission Rate Approved Affiliates are eligible to earn a commission equal to ten percent (10%) of qualifying net product sales generated through their authorized and properly tracked referral links. Commissions are calculated on eligible product revenue after applicable discounts and exclude sales tax, shipping charges, handling fees, refunded transactions, canceled orders, and other noncommissionable amounts. 3.2 Qualifying Purchases A purchase qualifies for commission only when it: (a) Is completed through the Company's authorized sales platform; (b) Is properly attributed to an approved Affiliate through the Company's designated tracking system; (c) Has been successfully paid and verified; (d) Is not fraudulent, canceled, refunded, returned, or charged back; and (e) Complies with all applicable Program requirements. Self-referrals, artificial transactions, and purchases designed to manipulate commission attribution are prohibited. Wholesale transactions, gift card purchases, and expressly excluded products are not commissionable when designated as such by the Company before the applicable transaction. 3.3 Payment Schedule Affiliate commissions are subject to a thirty (30) calendar-day review period following completion of the applicable qualifying transaction. Approved commissions will generally be paid by the fifteenth (15th) day of the first calendar month following expiration of the review period. Regular payments require a minimum approved commission balance of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). Balances below this amount will carry forward until the payment threshold is reached. Upon termination of participation, legitimately earned and undisputed commissions will remain payable after applicable verification and review periods, including balances below the regular minimum payout threshold. 3.4 Payment Method Affiliate commissions will ordinarily be paid through PayPal or another payment method expressly approved by the Company. Affiliates are responsible for supplying accurate payment information and any legally required tax documentation. 3.5 Refunds and Chargebacks Commissions associated with refunded, canceled, returned, disputed, or charged-back purchases may be reversed. If a commission has already been paid and the underlying transaction is subsequently reversed, the Company may offset the corresponding overpayment against future commissions, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 3.6 Commission Verification and Disputes The Company reserves the right to review and verify referral activity, order eligibility, and commission calculations. Payment of disputed amounts may be reasonably delayed during a good-faith investigation. Undisputed, earned commissions will not be unreasonably withheld. Affiliates must notify the Company in writing of suspected commission discrepancies and provide reasonably available supporting information. 3.7 Changes to Commission Rates The Company may change commission rates or eligibility requirements upon reasonable advance notice. Changes will apply prospectively and will not retroactively reduce commissions already earned under the terms in effect at the time of the qualifying transaction. 4. ADVERTISING, FTC COMPLIANCE, AND PRODUCT REPRESENTATIONS 4.1 Compliance with Advertising Laws All Affiliates must comply with applicable federal, state, and local advertising, consumer protection, and endorsement laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act and the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, 16 C.F.R. Part 255. Affiliates must ensure that all statements regarding Real Honest Tallow products are truthful, accurate, not misleading, and supported by appropriate substantiation. 4.2 Disclosure of Affiliate Relationship Affiliates must clearly and conspicuously disclose their material financial relationship with Real Honest Tallow whenever promoting or recommending Company products. Disclosures must be easily noticeable, understandable, and placed with the endorsement itself. Acceptable disclosures may include: "I earn a commission when you purchase through my link." "#ad — I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases." Disclosures must comply with applicable FTC requirements for each advertising format, including videos, livestreams, social media posts, and stories. Use of a platform's built-in paid partnership or disclosure tool does not necessarily replace the obligation to make an adequate disclosure. 4.3 Prohibited Medical and Therapeutic Claims Unless expressly authorized in writing by the Company and supported by legally sufficient substantiation, Affiliates may not claim that Real Honest Tallow products diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Prohibited representations include unsupported claims that products treat eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, hormonal disorders, or other medical conditions. Affiliates may not represent Company products as FDA-approved, clinically proven, dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, or medically recommended unless such representations are accurate, adequately substantiated, and specifically authorized by the Company. 4.4 Authorized Product Descriptions Affiliates may describe products using Company-approved marketing materials and accurate descriptions of their own genuine experiences. Personal testimonials must reflect honest opinions and actual experiences. Affiliates may not fabricate reviews, impersonate customers, or misrepresent product results. Affiliates are responsible for promptly correcting or removing inaccurate statements at the Company's reasonable request. 4.5 Company Monitoring and Enforcement Real Honest Tallow reserves the right to review publicly available affiliate promotional content for compliance with this Agreement. The Company may require correction or removal of noncompliant content, suspend promotional privileges, or terminate participation for material violations. Affiliates must cooperate with reasonable compliance requests. 4.6 No Unauthorized Guarantees Affiliates may not make unauthorized guarantees regarding product effectiveness, skincare results, refunds, delivery times, or other Company policies. Only the Company may establish binding warranties, customer service commitments, and product guarantees. 5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, BRAND USAGE, AND CONTENT PROTECTION 5.1 Ownership of Intellectual Property Real Honest Tallow, LLC retains all rights, title, and interest in its business name, trademarks, logos, branding, product names, product photographs, website content, marketing materials, designs, advertising content, and other intellectual property owned or licensed by the Company. Participation in the Affiliate Program does not transfer ownership of any Company intellectual property to an Affiliate. 5.2 Limited Permission to Use Brand Materials During an Affiliate's approved participation in the Program, the Company grants the Affiliate a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable, royalty-free license to use Company-approved trademarks, logos, photographs, and promotional materials solely for authorized promotion of Real Honest Tallow products. This permission automatically terminates when the Affiliate's participation ends. 5.3 Restrictions on Brand Usage Without prior written authorization, Affiliates may not: (a) Alter, distort, recolor, or materially modify the Real Honest Tallow name, logo, or other protected branding; (b) Use Company trademarks in domain names, business names, social media usernames, or advertising accounts in a manner suggesting official Company ownership or endorsement; (c) Create counterfeit products, packaging, labels, or unauthorized merchandise bearing Company branding; (d) Register or attempt to register Company trademarks, confusingly similar marks, or domain names; (e) Represent themselves as employees, owners, official spokespersons, or authorized agents of the Company; or (f) Use Company intellectual property in connection with unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, or misleading content. 5.4 Product Photography and Marketing Materials Affiliates may share Company-approved product photography, videos, descriptions, and marketing materials for legitimate Program activities. Affiliates must not materially alter product labels, ingredient disclosures, warnings, or other product information in a manner that creates a false or misleading representation. Affiliates are encouraged to produce original promotional content, provided it complies with the Company's advertising and brand guidelines and applicable law. 5.5 Affiliate-Created Content Affiliates retain ownership of original content they independently create, subject to the Company's preexisting intellectual property rights. The Company may request permission to repost, share, or otherwise use Affiliate-created content. Unless a separate written authorization provides otherwise, the Company will not acquire ownership of an Affiliate's original content merely because it was created in connection with the Program. 5.6 Removal of Unauthorized Materials Upon reasonable request by the Company, Affiliates must promptly correct or remove promotional materials that violate this Agreement, infringe third-party rights, or misrepresent Company products. Upon termination, Affiliates must cease using Company trademarks and remove representations of current Affiliate status within a reasonable period. 5.7 No Unauthorized Paid Advertising Affiliates may not purchase paid advertisements using Real Honest Tallow trademarks, brand names, or confusingly similar terms in search-engine advertising without prior written approval. Affiliates may not run advertisements that falsely appear to originate from the Company or direct consumers to deceptive or unauthorized websites. 5.8 Reservation of Rights All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by Real Honest Tallow, LLC. The Company may revoke permission to use its intellectual property in response to material Agreement violations or legitimate brand-protection concerns, subject to applicable law. # 6.

Affiliates may not represent expired promotions as valid or make unauthorized promises of free shipping, gifts, or additional discounts. **6.3 Violations and Investigations** The Company may investigate suspected misconduct and temporarily suspend an Affiliate's access or disputed commissions during a reasonable good-faith investigation. Confirmed fraud or material violations may result in termination, reversal of improperly generated commissions, or other remedies available under applicable law. Legitimately earned, undisputed commissions shall remain payable in accordance with this Agreement. # 7. CUSTOMER DATA, PRIVACY, AND INFORMATION SECURITY **7.1 Customer Information** All customer information obtained through Company systems, including customer names, addresses, contact information, purchase histories, and payment details, shall be treated as confidential and used only as authorized by the Company and applicable law.

Affiliates shall not disclose Confidential Information except as legally required or expressly authorized in writing. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information lawfully available to the public, independently developed without use of Confidential Information, or lawfully obtained from a third party without a confidentiality obligation. Nothing in this Agreement prevents lawful reporting to government agencies or disclosures protected by applicable law. # 8. PRODUCT SAFETY, CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS, AND COMPLAINTS **8.1 Product Safety** Affiliates shall not alter, dilute, repackage, relabel, tamper with, or otherwise modify Real Honest Tallow products without prior written authorization.

Affiliates may not assume that claims permitted for one product category are permissible for another. # 9. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-EXCLUSIVITY **9.1 Confidential Business Information** Affiliates shall protect the Company's nonpublic business information and use such information only as necessary for authorized Program activities. This obligation survives termination to the extent permitted by applicable law. **9.2 Non-Exclusive Relationship** Unless otherwise agreed in writing, participation in the Program is non-exclusive. Affiliates may promote other businesses and products, provided doing so does not violate this Agreement, misuse Company Confidential Information, infringe intellectual property rights, or involve deceptive representations concerning Real Honest Tallow. **9.3 No Guarantee of Continued Participation** Acceptance into the Program does not guarantee continued participation, a minimum duration, or any specific level of compensation. # 10.

The Company shall provide reasonably prompt notice of an indemnifiable claim and permit the Affiliate to participate in the defense, subject to appropriate protections for conflicts of interest. No settlement imposing obligations on the Company may be entered without the Company's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. # 14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party shall be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages arising from participation in the Program, except where such limitation is prohibited by law.

Nothing in this section limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded or restricted. # 15.

GENERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS **16.1 Entire Agreement** This Agreement, together with incorporated Program policies and expressly accepted amendments, constitutes the agreement between the Company and Affiliate regarding Program participation. Where these terms conflict with a separately signed written agreement, the separately signed agreement shall control to the extent expressly stated therein. **16.2 Amendments** The Company may modify Program requirements upon reasonable advance notice. Changes affecting previously earned compensation will not apply retroactively. Continued participation after the effective date of a properly communicated amendment may constitute acceptance where legally permissible. Where affirmative consent is legally required, the Company shall obtain such consent. **16.3 Severability** If any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in effect to the fullest extent legally permissible. **16.4 No Waiver** Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce that provision in the future. **16.5 Assignment** Affiliates may not transfer their Program participation or contractual rights without the Company's prior written consent, except where prohibited by applicable law.
