Partner Organization Addendum

This Partner Organization Addendum ("Addendum") supplements the KadoPool Terms of Service ("Terms") and, together with the Terms, constitutes a Commercial Co-Venture Agreement where required by applicable state law. By registering an organization on the KadoPool platform, the Authorized Representative of the Partner Organization ("Partner") agrees to be bound by both the Terms and this Addendum. Where a conflict exists between the Terms and this Addendum on a matter relating to the Partner Program, this Addendum governs. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms.

1Nature of the Partnership

KadoPool operates a platform for group gifting. As part of its community reinvestment initiative, KadoPool agrees to pay Partner a commercial referral fee based on platform usage by Partner's community. This payment is a commercial fee paid directly by KadoPool LLC. It is not a tax-deductible charitable donation from individual platform users, and Partner agrees not to represent it as such in any communications.

2Linked Pools

A Gift Pool is "Linked" to Partner when an Organizer designates Partner within the KadoPool application at any point prior to pool closure. Linking is the Organizer's sole choice; KadoPool does not guarantee that Organizers will designate any particular Partner. Fee accrual begins at the time of each transaction in a Linked Pool regardless of Partner's onboarding status. Disbursement of accrued fees is contingent on Partner completing verification as described in Section 3.

3Verification and Authorized Representative

Partner must complete identity, banking, and tax-status verification through Stripe Connect before any disbursement can be made. The individual who accepts this Addendum and completes Stripe verification on Partner's behalf ("Authorized Representative") must be an officer or authorized signatory with legal authority to bind Partner. By accepting this Addendum, the Authorized Representative confirms that authority. KadoPool relies on Stripe's KYC process to establish the identity and authorization of that individual; no separate signature instrument is required.

4Fee Calculation and Payment

4.1 Calculation

For every transaction processed in a Linked Pool, KadoPool will allocate thirty percent (30%) of its Platform Fee to Partner. The Platform Fee is a percentage of each transaction, subject to a per-transaction minimum and maximum cap, disclosed to Contributors at checkout. KadoPool will provide at least 30 days' written notice to Partner's registered email address before making any change to the Platform Fee structure that would reduce the Partner's allocation.

4.2 Disbursement Schedule

KadoPool will disburse accrued fees on the following schedule:

• Quarterly: If Partner's accrued balance equals or exceeds $50.00 at the end of any calendar quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31), KadoPool will initiate disbursement within 30 days of that date.
• Annual sweep: If Partner's quarterly balance does not reach $50.00 in any given quarter but the cumulative calendar-year balance exceeds $0, KadoPool will disburse the full accrued balance no later than February 15 of the following calendar year.
• Rollover: Balances below $1.00 will roll over indefinitely until the minimum transfer threshold is reached.

4.3 Verification Requirement

Disbursement is strictly contingent upon Partner maintaining an active and verified Stripe Connect account in good standing. KadoPool is not liable for fees that cannot be disbursed due to an inactive, restricted, or unverified Stripe account. If Partner's Stripe account is closed or restricted, KadoPool will hold accrued funds for 90 days pending resolution; unclaimed funds after that period will be handled in accordance with applicable abandoned property law.

5Commercial Co-Venture Compliance

The parties acknowledge that this Addendum may constitute a "Commercial Co-Venture" or equivalent arrangement under the laws of certain states. KadoPool will maintain any registrations required of the for-profit party under applicable state commercial co-venture laws in states where it actively operates the program. Partner, as a charitable or tax-exempt organization where applicable, is responsible for any registrations, disclosures, or filings required of the charitable party under the laws of its state of operation, and agrees to cooperate with KadoPool in good faith to satisfy those requirements. KadoPool reserves the right to suspend fee accrual or disbursement to Partners in jurisdictions where the arrangement cannot be made compliant, without liability to Partner for such suspension.

6Marketing and Disclosures

To comply with consumer protection and commercial co-venture laws, Partner agrees to use only truthful, accurate language when promoting this arrangement. When referencing the financial benefit to Partner, communications must state:

"KadoPool will pay [Organization Name] 30% of its Platform Fee for every transaction made in a linked pool,"

or substantially similar language. This requirement extends to any promotional materials referencing Donation Pools (Section 11). Partner may not represent that Contributor payments to KadoPool are tax-deductible charitable gifts, except in the context of contributions made through a Donation Pool in accordance with Section 11.

7Audit Rights

7.1 Partner's Right

Upon reasonable written request (no more than once per calendar year), Partner may request a financial accounting of Platform Fees generated by its Linked Pools to verify the 30% calculation. KadoPool will respond within 45 days.

7.2 KadoPool's Right

KadoPool reserves the right to review Partner's promotional materials referencing this arrangement upon reasonable written request to verify compliance with Section 6.

8Term and Termination

Either party may terminate this Addendum for any reason upon 30 days' written notice delivered to the other party's registered email address. Upon termination:

• Fees accrued prior to the effective termination date will be disbursed in the next standard payout cycle, provided Partner's Stripe account remains active and in good standing.
• If Partner's Stripe account is closed or restricted at the time of termination, Section 4.3 governs the disposition of held funds.
• Donation Pools open at the time of termination notice will be permitted to close normally; no new Donation Pools may be created after the notice date.

9Amendments

KadoPool may update this Addendum from time to time. Partner will receive at least 30 days' written notice via its registered email address before any change takes effect. Continued participation in the Partner Program after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated Addendum. If Partner does not agree to an update, Partner may terminate this Addendum under Section 8 before the effective date of the change.

10Representations and Tax Responsibility

10.1 Authority

The Authorized Representative represents that they have full legal authority to bind Partner to this Addendum, and that Partner is duly organized and in good standing under applicable law.

10.2 Tax Responsibility

Partner is solely responsible for determining the tax treatment of commercial fees received under this Addendum — including any Unrelated Business Taxable Income (UBTI) implications for tax-exempt organizations — and for all related reporting and payment obligations. KadoPool does not provide tax advice.

11Donation Pools

11.1 Definition

A "Donation Pool" is a distinct pool type through which Contributors make charitable contributions that are remitted directly to the Partner Organization (net of applicable fees). Donation Pools are available exclusively within the United States.

11.2 Eligibility

Donation Pools are available only to Partner Organizations with confirmed active tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as verified through KadoPool's verification process. For-profit entities are not eligible for Donation Pools. KadoPool reserves the right to suspend Donation Pool functionality pending periodic re-verification of a Partner's tax-exempt status, which KadoPool may conduct at any time.

11.3 Organizational Information

Partner's legal name and mailing address for contribution acknowledgments are retrieved automatically from Partner's verified Stripe Connect account. To enable Donation Pool functionality, Partner must additionally confirm their Employer Identification Number (EIN) — the one piece of tax information Stripe collects for W-9 compliance but does not expose back to KadoPool. This is the only additional step required and may be completed at any time after initial Stripe onboarding. Until the EIN is confirmed, Donation Pool creation is unavailable but standard Gift Pool linking and fee accrual are unaffected. Partner is responsible for the accuracy of the EIN provided.

11.4 Open Model — Who May Create a Donation Pool

Any registered KadoPool user ("Organizer") may create a Donation Pool designating a verified, 501(c)(3)-eligible Partner Organization as the beneficiary. Partner will receive notification when a Donation Pool is created in its name. By participating in the Partner Program, Partner acknowledges and consents to this open model.

Organizer representations applicable to Donation Pool creation — including that the Organizer is acting as an uncompensated volunteer and is not a professional fundraiser — are governed by the KadoPool Terms of Service, which each Organizer agrees to upon account registration. KadoPool's role is that of a software platform; it does not solicit charitable contributions. The Donation Pool page will identify the Organizer and the Partner Organization so that Contributors understand the nature and origin of the solicitation.

11.5 Fee Structure and Rebate

The standard Platform Fee applies to Donation Pool transactions on the same basis as Gift Pools. Partner receives the 30% commercial referral fee described in Section 4.1 in addition to the full charitable contribution proceeds (net of Stripe processing fees). The tax-deductible amount for each Contributor is the donation amount only; the Platform Fee and third-party processing fees are service charges paid to KadoPool and its processors and are not charitable contributions.

11.6 Disbursement

Donation Pool proceeds are remitted to Partner's verified Stripe Connect account on the schedule described in Section 4.2.

11.7 Contribution Acknowledgments — Agency Authorization

Partner hereby appoints KadoPool as its limited authorized agent solely for the purpose of generating and delivering IRS-compliant contribution acknowledgment letters to Contributors upon Donation Pool closure. Each acknowledgment will be issued in the Partner Organization's name and will include:

• The Partner Organization's legal name and EIN;
• The Contributor's name;
• The date and charitable contribution amount;
• A statement that no goods or services were provided in exchange for the contribution (or, where applicable, a description and good-faith estimate of the fair market value of any goods or services provided).

Acknowledgments will be delivered to Contributors electronically as part of the pool closure notification, within seconds of pool closure. Partner represents that it will maintain its 501(c)(3) status and will notify KadoPool immediately if that status is revoked, suspended, or otherwise changes.

11.8 Partner's Responsibility for Acknowledgments

KadoPool's role in generating and delivering contribution acknowledgments is administrative only. Partner is solely responsible for the legal sufficiency of acknowledgments under applicable IRS rules and state law, including ensuring that the organizational information provided under Section 11.3 is accurate and current. KadoPool is not liable for any tax consequences to Contributors arising from inaccurate or untimely acknowledgments resulting from Partner's failure to provide correct information.

11.9 Contributor Disclosures

KadoPool will display the following information to Contributors at or before checkout for every Donation Pool:

• The Partner Organization's legal name and EIN;
• The donation amount, Platform Fee, and processing fee as separate line items;
• A statement that the charitable contribution amount may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law; that the Platform Fee is a service charge paid to KadoPool and is not tax-deductible; and that Contributors should consult their tax advisor.

KadoPool does not provide tax advice to Contributors.

11.10 Software Provider Position

KadoPool provides software infrastructure enabling Partner Organizations to receive charitable contributions through Donation Pools. KadoPool is not a charitable organization and does not solicit donations on behalf of any Partner. Partner is responsible for ensuring that its own fundraising activities, and those of Organizers acting as volunteers on its behalf, comply with applicable charitable solicitation registration and disclosure laws in Partner's jurisdiction.

11.11 Recertification

KadoPool will conduct periodic re-verification of Partner's 501(c)(3) status through KadoPool's verification process. If KadoPool determines that a Partner's tax-exempt status has lapsed or been revoked:

• Donation Pool creation will be suspended immediately;
• Open Donation Pools at the time of suspension will be permitted to close normally;
• Fees and proceeds accrued prior to suspension will be disbursed in the normal course under Section 4.2.

Partner agrees to cooperate with KadoPool's recertification process and to promptly notify KadoPool of any change to its tax-exempt status.

11.12 Quid Pro Quo

If Contributors receive goods, services, or other benefits of material value in connection with a Donation Pool contribution, the deductible amount may be reduced. Partner must notify KadoPool before opening any such pool so that checkout disclosures can reflect the appropriate quid pro quo disclosure.

11.13 International Scope

Donation Pools are currently available only to US-based organizations with active 501(c)(3) status. Availability for organizations outside the United States will be announced separately as KadoPool assesses the applicable legal requirements for each jurisdiction.

12Miscellaneous

12.1 Severability

If any provision of this Addendum is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

12.2 Entire Agreement

This Addendum and the Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Partner Program and supersede all prior written or oral representations, negotiations, and understandings on that subject.

12.3 Written Notice

All written notices under this Addendum must be delivered via email: to Partner at its registered email address on file with KadoPool, and to KadoPool at lifeguard@kadopool.com. A notice is deemed delivered on the day it is sent, provided no delivery failure notification is received within 24 hours.

13Incorporation

This Addendum supplements the KadoPool Terms of Service. In the event of a direct conflict between the Terms and this Addendum on a matter relating to the Partner Program, this Addendum governs. All other provisions of the Terms — including, without limitation, the governing law (Section 11), limitation of liability (Section 12), and indemnification (Section 13) — apply to this Addendum in full.
