RECITALS

A. WHEREAS, honeygain has developed technology – an Application that allows users, via their
device, to share their internet traffic with honeygain and its customers. User’s device becomes a
gateway that allows honeygain to send traffic by using user’s device and its internet traffic. This
shared internet traffic will be used by honeygain and its clients.
B. WHEREAS, honeygain allows users to monetize shared internet traffic, by modifying user’s
device network sharing settings so they could become a gateway for internet traffic.
Subsequently, user’s device is used as a gateway by honeygain’s clients, who, among others,
include companies that specialize in web and market analytics, SEO monitoring, brand
protection, market research, cybersecurity, etc.
C. WHEREAS, user by installing the Application and agreeing to this Agreement desires to monetize
and utilize its internet traffic.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises herein, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Parties hereby agree as follows:

Table of Definitions

Dashboard – ​the principle communication tool between honeygain and its users. Used to provide
important and most relevant information regarding the Application, such as accumulated Credits,
Earnings, pricing models, important notices, etc. The Dashboard can be accessed through ​here​.

Application – ​the current version of the Application made available by honeygain to user pursuant to
this Agreement, including any software (source code and object code), programs, tools, libraries, APIs,
data, files, Application specifications, documentation and any updates, upgrades, bug fixes, patches,
new releases, new versions of any of the foregoing that may be made available by honeygain to users
pursuant to this Agreement.

Content Delivery ​(“​CD​”) - CD is honeygain’s functionality that allows its desktop users to share their
internet traffic through different method than the one used in the default scenario. CD functionality is
different because upon user’s consent its device is used to reach more bandwidth intensive content
such as images, videos, audio, streaming services, heavy websites, IPTV, etc. CD has separate and
additional earning and payout rules.
Shared traffic ​– The amount of internet traffic that the user has shared and honeygain (or Clients) has
used through the user's device.

Earnings ​– means the amount calculated in accordance with the pricing rules established herein and
payable to the user by honeygain.

Credits – ​digital asset of honeygain’s network that is allocated to user’s account for the Shared traffic
and has value attributed to it by honeygain.

Sharing rate ​– the amount of Credits gained per 1GB of Shared traffic.

Conversion rate – ​the monetary value attributed to Credits as provided in the ​website​.

Clients – ​honeygain’s business clients that use the traffic shared by users for various business purposes
i.e. gathering data from the web for pricing, brand, market analysis, verifying advertisement efficiency,
etc.

Honeygain

User having installed Application and agreeing to the terms of this Agreement will become part of
honeygain network of users that share their internet traffic with honeygain and are awarded Credits.
Credits can be later paid out as Earnings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Becoming part of the honeygain network means that the user willingly shares his internet traffic with
honeygain and Clients. Clients are not aware which specific users’ internet traffic they are using, nor
users know which Client uses their internet traffic. Normally, the Client requests for internet traffic that
could be shared from a specific country (i.e. Brazil) or region (i.e. South America) and honeygain can
either grant or deny such requests depending on the quantity, location and / or honeygain functionality
options of users that participate in honeygain’s network at the time.

In accordance with the above, it also means that not all users will be able to share the same amount of
traffic, as it essentially depends on whether there is demand for their internet traffic or not. Moreover,
it also means that if there is a surplus of supply of internet traffic from specific location, honeygain
retains the right to ​limit the sharing of internet traffic of specific users to protect honeygain network
from overutilization. In order to ensure the quality of internet traffic to Clients and to maximize the
possible profit for our users we limit the number of devices that can be attributed to a specific IP
address at a single instance. We might also limit the usage types of IP addresses connected to honeygain
network. These limitations can change and are always disclosed in our FAQ.

By using our Application and agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, you understand and agree that
Shared traffic might be used by various businesses with various business cases. Some of the use cases
might include advertisement verification which may result in the user getting specific advertisement
when browsing the internet. Other Clients might gather data from the web which might later result in
users getting ​captchas when attending certain websites. Some of our Clients might also use our service
to access and / or provide streaming services, etc. There is also an unlikely possibility that in case you
have a streaming services account and our Client uses your device as an exit gateway to access the same
streaming service platform, that you would become unable to use said services for limited amount of
time. The Clients who use Honeygain for the latter use case would mainly use traffic that is generated by
users who opted in to our CD functionality. While we do put reasonable effort to prevent any
detrimental consequences to our users, it is the user who is responsible for its ability to share internet
traffic and his compliance with local laws, regulations and agreements with third parties.

Earnings and payout rules

1. Once you have reached the minimum withdrawal threshold – 20 USD or equivalent value, you
will be able to request the payout of Earnings via the Dashboard.
2. You acknowledge that in order for honeygain to payout the accrued Earnings, you may be
required to validate your email (if it was not done beforehand) and provide us and our payment
services providers with personal and other information depending on your chosen payment
method. You are solely responsible for the provision of up to date and accurate information. You
understand that we may not be able to provide you with any Earnings in accordance with this
Agreement, should you fail to provide such information or documentation, or if such
information or documentation is not correct, complete or up-to-date. You might also not be able
to receive your accrued Earnings if the country you are residing in does not support honeygain’s

under any provision of applicable tax law or our payment service providers rules.

5. Default functionality: The amount of Earnings (​E​) you have accrued will be displayed in the
Dashboard together with the amount of Credits associated with your personal account. The
monetary value of Earnings is calculated by multiplying Credits (​C​) and the applicable Conversion
rate (​CR​). The amount of Credits allocated to you depends on the applicable Sharing rate (​SR​)
and the amount of Shared traffic you have managed to provide. The Shared traffic (​ST​) is
multiplied by applicable Sharing rate (​SR​). A small amount of internet traffic is used for the
operation of infrastructure of honeygain, this amount is not considered Shared traffic.
CD functionality: ​If you have chosen to opt in to CD functionality and have successfully passed
the queue to connect to CD server(s) your device will start earning Credits just by staying
connected to CD server(s). Every minute (​m)​ of successful connection earns you the amount of
Credits as per CD Sharing rate (​SR​CD​) provided in honeygain’s Dashboard.
Formulas for the established above:
(E= C x CR)​;
Default functionality:​(​C​ = ST x SR);
CD functionality: ​(​C​= m x SR​CD​);
6. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE PRICING RULES ESTABLISHED HEREIN INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, CONVERSION RATE, SHARING RATE. WE MIGHT ALSO ESTABLISH TEMPORARY
 SHARING RATE OR CONVERSION RATE LIMITS THAT WOULD BE APPLICABLE ONLY FOR LIMITED
AMOUNT OF TIME AS DISCLOSED IN THE DASHBOARD.
7. IF THE APPLICATION IS UNUSED BY THE USER FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS THEN THE CREDITS
ACCRUED BY SUCH USER SHALL BE DEEMED INVALID AND EXPIRED AND THE EARNINGS WILL
NOT BE PAID OUT FOR SUCH CREDITS. THE APPLICATION SHALL BE DEEMED UNUSED IF
HONEYGAIN’S INFRASTRUCTURE DOES NOT REGISTER ANY SHARED TRAFFIC FROM THE USER.
