This Addendum E — Charitable Partner Terms (“Charitable Partner Addendum”) is incorporated into and forms part of the Pet Life Journey Partner Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Ody Health, a Wyoming corporation doing business as Pet Life Journey (“PLJ”), and [PARTNER LEGAL NAME] (“Charitable Partner”).
Capitalized terms not defined in this Charitable Partner Addendum have the meanings given in the Agreement.
1.PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
1.1Purpose
This Charitable Partner Addendum establishes additional terms applicable when Charitable Partner’s participation in the PLJ Program involves an activity subject to laws governing charitable sales promotions, commercial coventures, cause marketing, charitable fundraising platforms, charitable solicitations, professional fundraising, or similar charitable-promotion or fundraising activities (“Charitable Promotion Laws”).
1.2Relationship to Agreement
Except as expressly modified by this Charitable Partner Addendum, the Agreement and its other applicable Schedules remain in effect.
In particular:
- (a)PLJ remains the seller and merchant of record for PLJ Products;

- (c)Charitable Partner does not take title to PLJ inventory;

1.3Regulatory Classification
The Parties acknowledge that the legal characterization of a particular activity depends on applicable law and the facts of the applicable promotion.
Depending on the jurisdiction and activity, PLJ, Charitable Partner, the applicable promotion, or another participating entity may be subject to laws applicable to charitable sales promotions, commercial coventurers, charitable fundraising platforms, platform charities, commercial fundraisers, fundraising counsel, charitable solicitations, or other regulated charitable activities.
