RESONATE MASTER SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES AGREEMENT

Effective August 17, 2026. If you entered into an agreement referencing this document between January 31, 2025 and August 16, 2026, that agreement remains governed by the version in effect at that time — view it in our Archived Agreements.

THIS RESONATE MASTER SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Resonate Networks, Inc., with its principal offices at 11700 Plaza America Drive, Suite 1000, Reston, VA 20190 (“Resonate”), and the legal entity that executes one or more sales orders, order forms, or similar ordering documents referencing this Agreement (the “Customer”).

This Agreement is made available by Resonate at https://www.resonate.com/master-subscription-agreement/ and is incorporated by reference into each order, sales order, order form, or similar ordering document executed by the parties (each, an “Order”). Each Order incorporates the version of the Agreement in effect as of the date such Order is executed, unless the Order expressly states otherwise.

This Agreement becomes effective as of the earlier of: (a) the date on which Customer executes its first Order referencing this Agreement; or (b) the date on which Resonate first provides Services to Customer under an Order (the “Effective Date”).

Where Customer is a media agency using the Services on behalf of its clients, the terms of the Resonate Agency Addendum shall also apply to Customer’s use of the Services and shall be considered part of the Agreement.

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions by which Customer may purchase Services and licenses to data from Resonate. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement, if not otherwise defined in context, have the meanings set forth in Section 19 (Defined Words and Phrases).

  1. ORDERS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Resonate will provide the Services and license the Resonate Data as set forth in one or more Orders. Each Order shall be binding upon the parties only after mutual execution and each Order shall be considered an integral part of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of any Order, the terms of the applicable Order shall control solely with respect to the Services purchased under that Order. No pre-printed or “boilerplate” provisions of any purchase order or other document provided by Customer with or as part of any Order shall be binding upon Resonate.
  2. SAAS SERVICES.
    1. Access and Use. Where Customer purchases access rights to the Platform under an Order (“Access Rights”), Resonate will provide Customer with access to the Platform and any related software, functionality, reports, analytics, tools, documentation, data, or services identified in the applicable Order (collectively, the “SaaS Services”) during the applicable Subscription Term. Subject to Customer’s payment of all applicable Fees and compliance with the Agreement, Resonate grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right during the Subscription Term to access and use the SaaS Services solely for Customer’s internal business purposes and in accordance with the Agreement and applicable Order. Customer’s use of certain SaaS Services may include access to Resonate Data, which remains subject to the license rights, restrictions, and usage limitations set forth in the applicable Order.
    2. Authorized Users. Customer may permit its employees and contractors acting on its behalf (“Authorized Users”) to access and use the SaaS Services solely for Customer’s benefit and subject to the Agreement. Customer is responsible for: (i) maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials; (ii) ensuring Authorized Users comply with the Agreement; and (iii) all activities occurring under Customer’s accounts. Resonate may suspend or restrict access to the SaaS Services where it reasonably believes such access violates the Agreement, threatens the security or integrity of the Services, or creates legal or regulatory risk.
    3. Service Levels and Support. Resonate will provide support and service availability for the SaaS Services in accordance with Resonate’s Service Level Agreement, as may be updated from time to time (the “SLA”). The remedies set forth in the SLA are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies for any failure to meet the service levels described therein.
    4. Customer Responsibilities. Customer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all equipment, software, internet connectivity, and systems necessary to access and use the SaaS Services. Customer will use the SaaS Services only in accordance with applicable law, the Documentation, and any restrictions set forth in the applicable Order.
    5. Platform Changes. Resonate may modify, update, enhance, replace, or discontinue portions of the SaaS Services from time to time. Resonate will not materially reduce the core functionality of the SaaS Services during a Subscription Term unless required by applicable law, a third-party provider, or a Regulatory Requirement. If a modification materially reduces core functionality and such functionality is not restored within thirty (30) days after written notice from Customer, Customer may terminate the affected SaaS Services and receive a prorated refund of prepaid Fees attributable to the terminated Services. Such refund shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy.
    6. Additional SaaS Modules. Certain SaaS Services may include additional modules, functionality, integrations, measurement services, activation services, audience services, tagging services, or other offerings (collectively, “Additional Services”). The specific Additional Services purchased by Customer, together with any applicable usage rights, restrictions, deliverables, fees, and service descriptions, shall be set forth in the applicable Order, Documentation, or product-specific terms incorporated into the Agreement. Certain Additional Services may include audience measurement, insight generation, tagging, data collection, activation, or similar capabilities, which are subject to the data rights and obligations set forth in Section 9.
    7. Artificial Intelligence Features.
      1. Use of AI Features; Customer Responsibilities. Customer may access and use AI Features solely for the Permitted Use and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and any applicable Order. Customer is solely responsible for (a) the content, accuracy and legality of Customer AI Inputs; (b) ensuring that Customer AI Inputs do not include Sensitive Information prohibited by Section 9.1.3; and (c) independently reviewing and validating AI Output prior to using it to make business, legal, compliance, or other decisions. Customer acknowledges that AI Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or not appropriate for Customer’s specific use case.
      2. Ownership of AI Inputs and Outputs. As between the parties, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in Customer AI Inputs as Customer Data. AI Output constitutes Resonate Data and/or Resonate IP to the extent generated by or derived from the Services or Resonate IP; provided that, to the extent AI Output includes Customer Data (including verbatim Customer AI Inputs), Customer retains its rights in such Customer Data. Customer may use AI Output solely for the Permitted Use and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and any applicable Order.
      3. Model Improvement and Training Restrictions. Resonate will not use Customer Data or Customer AI Inputs to train or fine-tune general-purpose artificial intelligence or machine learning models for use outside of providing the Services to Customer, except (i) as expressly authorized in an applicable Order; or (ii) where such information has been aggregated and/or deidentified such that it no longer constitutes Customer Data or Personal Information. Resonate may generate and use Model Improvement Data to operate, maintain, secure, improve, develop, and enhance the Services and Resonate IP. Model Improvement Data is Resonate IP and does not include Customer Data.
      4. Third-Party AI Components. Certain AI Features may utilize or be enabled by Third Party Services. To the extent AI Features rely upon Third Party Services, Section 7 (Third Party Services) applies, and Customer acknowledges that Customer AI Inputs may be processed by such Third Party Services in accordance with applicable Third Party Terms.
  1. DATA SERVICES.
    1. Data Services. As set forth in an Order, Resonate shall provide the Data Services and make Attributes Data available to Customer through the delivery mechanisms specified in the applicable Order, which may include file-based delivery (on a one-time or recurring basis), API-based access, or query-based access through Resonate-authorized interfaces, including within Customer-Controlled Data Environments. Except as expressly set forth in an Order, the Data Services do not include access to any Resonate-hosted platform or user interface.
    2. Customer Data. Customer is responsible for providing Customer Data in the format required for the applicable Data Services and for obtaining all rights and permissions necessary for Resonate to process Customer Data under this Agreement.

If expressly authorized in an applicable Order, Customer may permit its agencies and service providers to use the Attributes Data solely on Customer’s behalf and subject to written restrictions no less protective than those set forth in this Agreement. Customer remains fully responsible for all such use. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Resonate.

  1. Restrictions on Use. Customer shall not, and shall not permit any third party to: (i) sell, license, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise make the Attributes Data available as a standalone product, dataset, or service; (ii) use the Attributes Data to create, improve, train, validate, or commercialize any data product, dataset, or service for the purpose of creating a commercially distributed consumer data product or audience dataset that substantially replicates the Attributes Data; (iii) use the Attributes Data for the purpose of identifying or attempting to identify any individual; (iv) combine the Attributes Data with other data for the purpose of re-identification of individuals; (v) extract, reconstruct, scrape, isolate, or replicate the Attributes Data at scale; (vi) generate synthetic datasets or derivative datasets intended for external commercialization or distribution; (vii) disclose the Attributes Data to any unauthorized third party; (viii) use the Attributes Data in violation of Applicable Laws; or (ix) use the Attributes Data for unlawful, discriminatory, or harmful purposes.

For clarity:

(a) Customer may use the Attributes Data within Customer’s internal analytics, modeling, audience creation, optimization, measurement, and AI/ML-enabled business workflows, provided such use does not violate subsection (ii) above; and

(b) nothing in this Agreement prohibits Customer from using Attributes Data for targeted advertising, audience activation, measurement, attribution, personalization, or campaign optimization in compliance with Applicable Laws.

  1. Third Party Processing and Activation Environments. Certain Data Services may be performed through third-party platforms, clean rooms, activation environments, or Customer-Controlled Data Environments.

    4. Audience Data. Customer acknowledges that Audience Data: (i) is derived from probabilistic models and third-party sources and may not be complete or accurate; and (ii) constitutes Resonate Data and is licensed, not sold.
    5. Reporting and Usage Verification. Where required for billing, reconciliation, or compliance purposes, Customer shall provide reasonable reporting regarding its use of Audience Data, including metrics such as impressions, delivery volumes, or other usage-based measures specified in the applicable Order. Resonate may rely on its own measurement systems or third-party reporting sources to verify Customer’s usage.
  2. ANCILLARY SERVICES. Resonate will provide the Ancillary Services, if any, as set forth in an Order. If the Ancillary Services involve the delivery of any work product, developments, inventions, technology, or materials (collectively, “Deliverables”), except to the extent that such Deliverables include Customer Data or Customer’s Confidential Information, Resonate shall retain ownership of all Deliverables.

Evaluation Services may be modified, limited, suspended, or discontinued by Resonate at any time without liability.
    3. No Service Levels; Customer Responsibility. Evaluation Services are excluded from any service level commitments, support obligations, service credits, warranties, or performance commitments otherwise applicable to the Services. Any support provided in connection with Evaluation Services is provided at Resonate’s discretion. Customer is solely responsible for independently reviewing, validating, and testing any outputs, results, analyses, matches, insights, recommendations, or other content generated through Evaluation Services before relying upon them for business, legal, compliance, operational, or commercial purposes.
    4. Feedback. Customer may provide feedback, suggestions, or input relating to Evaluation Services or the Services generally (“Feedback”).

All Third Party Services and Third Party Data are offered by Resonate on an optional basis and are not required for use of the Services. Any Third Party Services or Third Party Data utilized by Customer as part of the Services are subject to separate Third Party Terms, even if Resonate acts as an ordering and billing agent and includes fees or charges for Third Party Services or Third Party Data on its invoices to Customer. Customer’s procurement or use of Third Party Services or Third Party Data is solely between Customer and the entity who controls the Third Party Service or Third Party Data, as applicable, and Resonate assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for Third Party Services or Third Party Data. Customer acknowledges that Resonate does not control Customer’s configuration, access controls, or data governance within Third Party Services. Customer’s use of Resonate Data within Third Party Services remains subject to the license rights and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Customer is solely responsible for any Third Party Services or Third Party Data that it accesses, installs or uses with the Services and does hereby waive any legal or equitable rights it may have against Resonate, and releases Resonate from any and all liability arising from Customer’s use of, or interaction with, the Third Party Services and Third Party Data. Resonate disclaims all warranties for the Third Party Services or Third Party Data.
  5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
    1. Proprietary Rights; No Implied Licenses.

The pricing specified in an Order will be firm for the initial Subscription Term. Except as set forth in the Order, charges applicable in any renewal terms will be subject to an increase of ten percent (10%) over the previously applicable sales price. Except as specifically provided for in the Agreement, all charges are non-refundable, and all Services are non-cancellable.
  2. Excess Utilization Fees. Certain fees may be based on Customer’s usage of the Services or Resonate Data, including usage metrics specified in the applicable Order (“Usage Metrics”). If Customer exceeds the applicable usage limits set forth in an Order (“Usage Limits”), Resonate may invoice Customer for such excess usage at the rates set forth in the Order, or, if not specified, at Resonate’s then-current standard rates. Excess usage fees may be invoiced monthly in arrears and do not require a separate Order.

Resonate may monitor or reasonably estimate Customer’s usage to verify compliance with applicable Usage Limits. If Customer materially exceeds agreed Usage Limits and the parties do not agree on revised commercial terms, Resonate may suspend further delivery of the applicable Services upon reasonable notice.

  1. Payment Terms. Invoices will be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Order, or if no payment term is specified, all fees shall be invoiced immediately upon execution and due no later than thirty (30) days from the date of invoice.

Payment schedules, amounts, and other related payment terms will be as set forth on the Order. If Resonate undertakes collection efforts due to non-payment, Customer shall be responsible for all reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees. Additionally, Resonate may, in its sole discretion and in addition to its remedies under this Agreement or pursuant to applicable law, suspend all Services, immediately upon notice, until Customer has paid the full balance owed.
  3. Taxes. The charges do not include applicable sales/use, gross receipts, value-added, GST or other tax on the transactions contemplated herein, other than taxes based on the net income or profits of Resonate. If any authority imposes a duty, tax or similar levy, Customer agrees to pay, or to promptly reimburse Resonate for, all such amounts.
  1. CONFIDENTIALITYConfidential Information” means non-public information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other (“Receiving Party”) that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes public through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was lawfully known to the Receiving Party without restriction before disclosure; (iii) is independently developed without use of the Confidential Information; or (iv) is lawfully obtained from a third party without restriction.

The Receiving Party shall: (a) use the Confidential Information solely for purposes of this Agreement; (b) protect the Confidential Information using reasonable care, and no less than the care it uses to protect its own similar information; and (c) not disclose Confidential Information except to its Affiliates, employees, contractors, advisors, and service providers who have a need to know and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein.

A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, provided that, where legally permitted, it gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice and reasonably cooperates with efforts to limit the disclosure.

Upon termination of this Agreement or written request, each party shall destroy or return the other party’s Confidential Information, except as required by law or retained in routine backup systems.

  1. COMPLIANCE; SECURITY; PRIVACY.
    1. Laws and Industry Standards. Each party will comply with all Applicable Laws in performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights under this Agreement.
    2. Privacy Policies. Each party shall each have an easily accessible privacy policy, the presentation, posting and content of which shall comply with all Applicable Laws and which shall be linked to conspicuously from the home page(s) of such party’s website, with a link that contains the word “Privacy”. Customer shall also ensure, via written agreement, that all Site Owners comply with this Section.
    3. Security. Each party shall maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of information received from the other party. Resonate’s safeguards shall be no less rigorous than those described in the Resonate Security Policy. Each party shall notify the other without undue delay upon becoming aware of any unauthorized disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information or Personal Information and shall cooperate in mitigating the effects of such disclosure.
    4. Privacy.
      1. DPA. To the extent that either party provides the other with Personal Information, each party shall comply with its obligations set forth in the DPA. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the DPA, the DPA shall control with respect to the processing of Personal Information and data protection obligations. Additionally, Resonate will not, and certifies that it will not, collect, retain, use, sell, or otherwise disclose the Personal Information of Customer for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the services specified in this Agreement, the DPA, or as otherwise required by law.
      2. Roles. To the extent Resonate processes Customer Data on Customer’s behalf, Resonate acts as a processor or service provider and Customer acts as the controller or business, as further described in the DPA. To the extent Resonate processes Resonate Data, Usage Data, Model Improvement Data, or other data owned or controlled by Resonate, Resonate acts as an independent controller or business and not on Customer’s behalf.
    5. Protected Health Information. Customer shall not provide Resonate with Protected Health Information unless the parties have executed a mutually acceptable Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”). If Customer provides Protected Health Information to Resonate without an executed BAA, such disclosure shall be deemed unauthorized and made at Customer’s sole risk, and Resonate shall have no obligation to process such information in accordance with HIPAA.
  2. TERM AND TERMINATION.
    1. Term. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until all Subscription Terms, including any renewals thereof, have been terminated or expired (the “Term”). Unless otherwise set forth on an Order, the Subscription Term on each Order will automatically renew for successive twelve-month periods, unless either party gives the other party notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days before the end of the Subscription Term.
    2. Early Termination For Cause. Either party may terminate the Agreement, including all Orders, immediately upon written notice to the other party, if the other party: (a) commits a material breach of the Agreement, which is capable of remedy, and fails to remedy the breach within thirty (30) days after written notice; (b) commits any act with the intent to defraud the other party or any third-party; or (c) becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, makes arrangement for the benefit of creditors, insolvency or receivership proceedings by or against such party.
    3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement, all rights and licenses granted to Customer under the Agreement will immediately cease, neither party shall have continuing rights to the other party’s Confidential Information, and any payment obligations that have accrued but remain unpaid will become immediately due and payable. Additionally, Customer shall promptly disable or remove all Collection Technologies. If Customer fails to do so, Resonate may continue processing Customer Data generated by such Collection Technologies and may invoice Customer for any resulting usage, processing, storage, activation, or other applicable fees at Resonate’s then-current rates until the Collection Technologies are disabled or removed.
    4. Use of Resonate Data. Unless otherwise specified in an Order, Customer shall cease use of all Resonate Data and delete all copies in its possession or control. Provided that Customer is not in default under the Agreement, Customer may continue to use Audience Data solely to support Campaigns initiated during the Order term for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days following expiration or termination, provided that Customer remains in compliance with this Agreement, including reporting and payment obligations. Thereafter, Customer shall cease all use of Audience Data and delete all copies in its possession or control.

    3. Resonate will have no obligation to indemnify for an Infringement Claim where the alleged infringement, violation or misappropriation arises, in whole or in part, from: (i) the modification of any Resonate product or services or data not made by Resonate; (ii) the combination, operation or use of any Resonate products or service or data with other software, hardware, systems, data or technologies not provided by Resonate or explicitly authorized by the Documentation; (iii) Customer’s use of Third Party Services or Third Party Data; (iv) Customer’s breach of Section 14.3 (Customer Representations and Warranties); or (v) Customer’s use of the SaaS Services other than in accordance with the Documentation.

  3. Indemnification Procedures. With respect to any claim, demand or action for which an indemnity is provided under this Section, the party to be indemnified (the “Indemnified Party”) shall: (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim, demand or action for which an indemnity is sought (provided, however, that failure of Indemnified Party to provide such notice will not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its indemnity obligations except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim is prejudiced thereby), (ii) reasonably cooperate in the defense or settlement of any such claim, demand or action, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) give the Indemnifying Party sole control over the defense or settlement of any such claim; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement without the Indemnified Party’s express consent that (1) assigns, imparts or imputes fault or responsibility to the Indemnified Party or its affiliates, (2) includes a consent to an injunction or similar relief binding upon the Indemnified Party or its affiliates, (3) fails to contain reasonable confidentiality obligations protecting the confidentiality of the settlement, or (4) provides for relief other than monetary damages that the Indemnifying Party solely bears.

If a change to this Agreement has a material adverse impact on Customer, then Customer may object to the change by notifying Resonate within thirty (30) days after Resonate provides notice.
