SUBMISSION RELEASE

Snap Inc. is excited to meet with you, but it’s important to recognize that Snap Inc. receives submissions and pitches

(“Release”). By signing below, you agree to the following:

1. You understand that Snap Inc. is not considering your Material in confidence and that Snap Inc.
may disclose your Material at will. Snap Inc. is not, and will not be, bound by any confidentiality
obligations, unless specifically stated in a signed agreement executed after the date of this Release.

2. You acknowledge that Snap Inc. is not admitting that the Material is novel, propriety, or original.
Any Material that you submit to Snap Inc. may be similar or identical to projects, products, ideas,
or other materials that Snap Inc. has already developed or learned of.

negotiate with or enter into any agreement with you in connection with the Material, or to develop,
produce, acquire, release, or otherwise use any of the Material.

all claims and causes of action of any kind against Snap Inc. To the extent you cannot (as a matter
of law) make this waiver, you unconditionally grant to Snap Inc. an exclusive, perpetual,
irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense through multiple levels of

incorporating, or derived from the Material, and (c) to exercise any and all other present or future
rights in the Material.

connection with this Release and have either obtained such legal counsel or have voluntarily
elected not to do so. You acknowledge that this Release constitutes the entire understanding
between you and Snap Inc. No other agreement, written or oral, express or implied, exists between
you and Snap Inc. with respect to the Material.

This Release will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws
principles. All claims arising out of or relating to this Release must be litigated exclusively in the United States
