11/27/2020

1. This Agreement governs your relationship with Parler and your use of and access
to all services and products provided by Parler (collectively, the Services). You agree
that by accessing or using any part of the Services you are bound by the terms of this
Agreement (the Terms), including the applicable Privacy Policy and Community
Guidelines incorporated herein.

2. You may not use the Services unless all of the following apply to you, and you
affirm that all of the following apply to you:

2.1 You are at least 13 years old;


2.2 You are either an adult over the age of 18 years old, an emancipated minor, or you
have express permission from your parent or legal guardian to use the Services;
2.3 You are legally allowed to use the Services where you live;
2.4 You are not using the Services or accepting the Terms on behalf of any other entity,
such as a company or organization, unless you have authority to bind that entity
to these Terms;
2.5 You have not been banned by Parler from using the Services.

3. The Parler Privacy Policy (https://legal.parler.com/documents/privacypolicy. pdf)


describes what Parler can do with information about you received by Parler when you
use the Services. You agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy, including the transfer of
information to other countries for storage, processing, and use, if applicable.

4. Any content that you post to the Services must satisfy all of the following criteria,
and you affirm that any content posted, submitted, or otherwise provided by you to the
Services satisfies these criteria:

4.1 You have the legal right to post the content to the Services.
4.2 The content and the purpose for posting it complies with all laws, rules, and
regulations that may apply.
1
4.3 The content does not infringe the intellectual property rights (such as copyrights
and trademark rights) of any other person or entity.
4.4 The content does not include non-public personal private information belonging to
someone else, such as another person’s birthdate, home address, or telephone
number.
4.5 The content complies with the Parler Community Guidelines.
You are responsible for your use of the Services and for any content that you post.
Parler does not endorse, support, represent, or affirm the completeness,
truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any of the content posted through the
Services, nor does Parler endorse any opinions expressed through the Services. All
content is the sole responsibility of the person who originated the content, and
Parler does not take responsibility for such content.
4.6 With respect to any content you contribute that uses YouTube services via Parler,
you affirm that—in addition to complying with Parler's own Terms and Community
Guidelines—you are also complying with YouTube's more restrictive Terms. (Users
are encouraged to use Parler's own native video capabilities whenever they wish to
avoid the application of these more restrictive terms.)

5. Right to Distribute. You grant to Parler a license to any content posted by you to the
Services, including a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to
sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display
and distribute your content. You agree that Parler or its service providers or partners
may display advertising in connection with your content and otherwise monetize your
content without compensation to you, unless you are a participant in our Influencer
Network and then you will be compensated according to the terms of that program.
You warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant these rights to Parler and other
members of the Parler community. You also grant a limited non-exclusive, royalty-free
license to any Parler community member to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt,
modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute any content posted by you to the
Services solely in connection with that member’s use of the Services. The licenses
granted by you hereunder do not include any moral rights or right of attribution.

6. Virtual Items. You understand that at times you may earn buy or purchase virtual
tokens for use in the Services (Virtual Items). You agree and acknowledge that you do
not in fact own the Virtual Items and the amounts of any Virtual Item do not refer to
any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, you may purchase or earn
a limited right to exchange Virtual Items for a limited license to use certain features of
the Services. Any virtual token balance shown in your account does not constitute a
real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement
of the extent of your ability to procure such limited license to use certain features made
available via the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time Parler may
make available a feature where Virtual Items may be redeemed for cash. Parler
prohibits and does not recognize any purported transfers of Virtual Items effectuated
2
outside of the Services, or the purported sale, gift, or trade in the real world of anything
that appears or originates in the Services, unless otherwise expressly authorized by
Parler in writing. Accordingly, you may not sublicense, trade, sell, or attempt to sell
Virtual Items for real money, or exchange Virtual Items for value of any kind outside of
the Services, without Parler’s written permission. Any such transfer or attempted
transfer is prohibited and void and will subject your account to termination. You are
responsible for all taxes arising out of your use of the Services, including without
limitation any taxes due upon your redemption of the Virtual Items for cash. If you
redeem Virtual Items for cash, you may be required to supply a social security number
and/or tax identification number prior to the issuance of the cash redemption to you.
Parler may file an IRS form 1099 or similar form with the Internal Revenue Service or
the appropriate tax filing with a governmental entity for the fair market value of any
cash redemptions issued to you in exchange for the Virtual items.
7. Copyright infringement is not allowed on the Services, and Parler will, in
appropriate circumstances, terminate the account of any repeat infringer. If your
copyright has been infringed by any content on the Services and you did not grant a
license for this use by uploading your copyrighted work to the Services, you may
submit a notice that meets all of the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3), to our Copyright Manager at abuse@parler.com or
209 S. Stephanie St., B135, Henderson, NV 89012. Your notice must include: (1)
electronic or physical signature of the copyrighted work owner (or person authorized
by the copyright owner), (2) a description of the copyrighted work, including the URL
where the infringing content is available, or a copy of it, (3) contact details of the
person submitting the notice, including email address, telephone, and mailing
address, (4) statement in “good faith belief” that the work is not authorized by the
copyright owner, and (5) a statement by the sender that all of the above information
is accurate, and that the person sending the notice is either the copyright owner or is
authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. Upon receiving a notice satisfying
these requirements, Parler will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems
appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the services.

8. You may not interfere with the Services in any way, such as by accessing the
Services through automated means in a manner that puts excessive demand on the
Services; by hacking the Services; by accessing without authorization areas of the
Services that are protected by technical measures designed to prevent unauthorized
access; by testing the vulnerability of the Services; by impersonating Parler or the
Services; by accessing the Services for any purpose that competes with the interests
of Parler; by spamming Parler community members; by failing to respond to
operational communications or requests from Parler; or through any other type of
interference with the Services or Parler’s relationships with others.

9. Parler may remove any content and terminate your access to the Services at any
time and for any reason to the extent Parler reasonably believes (a) you have violated

3
these Terms or Parler’s Community Guidelines, (b) you create risk or possible legal
exposure for Parler, or (c) you are otherwise engaging in unlawful conduct—although
Parler endeavors to allow all free speech that is lawful and does not infringe the legal
rights of others. Any invitation made by Parler to you to use the Services or submit
content to the Services, or the fact that Parler may receive a benefit from your use of
the Services or provision of content to the Services, will not obligate Parler to maintain
any content or maintain your access to the Services. Parler will have no liability to
you for removing any content, for terminating your access to the Services, or for
modifying or terminating the Services.

10. You agree to receive communications from Parler, including communications sent
by phone, email, text message, or other means of communication. If you provided a
phone number to Parler, you are required to notify Parler when you cease to own or
control that number to help prevent Parler from sending communications to others
who may acquire that number.

11. The Services are provided to you as-is and at your own risk. The Services come
with no express or implied warranties, except those that cannot be disclaimed under
the law.

damage to or loss of your personal property, data, operations, information,
reputation, goodwill, profits, etc.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND REGARD-

LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, WHETHER
INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR FOR INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING

4
FROM (a) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE
SERVICES; (b) FROM THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY OTHER PERSON
OR THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY,

EXCEED THE GREATER OF TWO HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $200.00) OR
THE AMOUNT YOU PAID PARLER, IF ANY, IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS FOR THE
SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SECTION
SHALL APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY,
CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, AND
SHALL FURTHER APPLY WHETHER OR NOT PARLER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF
THE POSSIBLITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY LAID OUT
IN THESE TERMS IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

12. Applicable law and jurisdiction. The laws of the State of Nevada, excluding its choice
of law provisions, will govern these Terms and any dispute that arises between you and
Parler. All disputes related to these Terms or the Services will be brought solely in the
state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, United States, and you consent
to personal jurisdiction and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.

13. You affirm that you are competent to agree to be bound by this Agreement,
meaning that you are over the age of 18, an emancipated minor, or have legal parental
or guardian consent. Parents of minors should be aware that, in addition to the NSFW
filters made available by Parler, there are a number of Parental Control products and
features available on the market, which can help you tailor your child’s experience on
our platform. Some examples can be found here and here.

14. Parler cannot waive any right to enforce this Agreement, unless it does so expressly
in writing. No waiver of any part of this Agreement, will be a further or continuing
waiver of that part or any other part, and no failure to enforce any part of this
Agreement will be deemed a waiver of any kind.

15. Parler may modify the Terms of this Agreement in any way and at any time without
notice to you, and you agree to be responsible for making yourself aware of any
modification of the Terms and to be bound by any modification of the Terms when you
continue to access or use the Services after any such modification. As a matter of
courtesy, Parler endeavors to inform its community members of any such changes.
These Terms supersede all prior agreements between you and Parler pertaining to the
Services. Except for the statements in this document and the documents expressly
5
incorporated herein by reference, no statement by Parler or anyone associated with
Parler, whether verbal or written, can modify or supplement the Terms of this
Agreement unless the modification or supplement is stated expressly in writing by
referring to this Agreement. If any of the Terms in the Agreement are held to be invalid
or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator or by operation of law, the remaining Terms
will remain in effect.
