This Business Listing & Sponsorship Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Visit Like a Local LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as WhileIn (“WhileIn,” “we,” “us”), 1821 N Lake Forest Dr, Ste 700 #123, McKinney, TX 75071, and the business named in the Order Form below (“Sponsor,” “you”).

1. Services

1.1 Listing. WhileIn will display Sponsor’s business in the WhileIn mobile app and at whilein.app according to the plan and add-ons on the Order Form (the “Services”).

1.2 Placement. WhileIn decides the design, layout, order, and presentation of the app. Each Sponsor location is listed in one category and one subcategory chosen by WhileIn. Each location is its own listing and needs its own plan. Featured (3 per subcategory), Spotlight (1 per subcategory), home carousel, section-sponsor, and presenting-sponsor slots are limited and assigned in the order paid. Organic search results, ratings, and user reviews are not for sale and are not affected by Sponsor’s plan.

1.3 Push notifications. Paid pushes are sent only to users who have turned on deal notifications, are labeled “Sponsored,” and go out in a time window booked in advance. WhileIn sends no more than two sponsored pushes per day across all sponsors: one between 10 AM and 3 PM Central and one between 3 PM and 8 PM Central, booked first come, first served. A Nearby push goes only to users who recently opened the app near Sponsor’s location, so it may reach fewer people. Free Listings cannot buy pushes. WhileIn may reschedule a push for a safety alert or other priority notice, and decline any push it believes users would find spammy or misleading. A push is “delivered” when sent to the notification service; WhileIn does not guarantee how many users open it.

1.4 Welcome social post. For a new Featured or Spotlight plan, WhileIn will publish one post welcoming Sponsor as a partner on WhileIn’s Instagram and Facebook, sent to Sponsor as an Instagram Collab invite where available and labeled as a paid partnership as required by platform rules and law. WhileIn decides the format, wording, and timing (normally within 30 days of the Start Date) and may feature several new partners in one post. Sponsor may decline the Collab invite. This is a one-time post, not a recurring service.

1.5 Stats. For Premium, WhileIn will provide basic monthly stats (such as listing views, taps to call, website, and directions). Stats are estimates and provided for information only.

1.6 No guarantee of results. WhileIn does not guarantee any number of users, views, visits, calls, or sales.

2. Term and Renewal

2.0 Start Date. Unless the Order Form names a different date, the Start Date is WhileIn’s public launch date: the day the WhileIn app is publicly available for download on Google Play or the Apple App Store. WhileIn will email Sponsor at least 7 days before the Start Date. No fees are billed or due before the Start Date, and Sponsor may cancel this Agreement by email at any time before the Start Date at no cost.

2.1 Monthly plans start on the Start Date and renew automatically each month until cancelled.

2.2 Annual plans run 12 months from the Start Date and renew automatically for another 12 months unless either party gives notice at least 30 days before the renewal date.

2.3 Minimums. Featured and Spotlight billed monthly have a 3-month minimum term. After the minimum, they renew monthly.

2.4 Price changes. WhileIn may change prices for future renewal periods with at least 30 days’ email notice. Founding Partner rates are not increased during their 2-year lock while the plan stays active.

2.5 Launch guarantee. For a Sponsor on a paid plan, WhileIn measures listing performance over a 90-day window. The window starts on WhileIn’s public launch date, or on March 1 if public launch falls between November 1 and February 28. Before the window starts, WhileIn will tell Sponsor in writing the minimum number of visitor taps (calls, directions, website, menu, or booking taps, as counted by WhileIn) the listing should receive during the window. If the listing receives fewer, WhileIn will extend Sponsor’s current plan by 90 days at no charge. This extension is Sponsor’s only remedy for listing performance; no refunds are owed. Fees are billed from the Start Date regardless of when the window begins.

3. Fees and Payment

3.1 Fees are listed on the Order Form, in U.S. dollars, and are due on receipt of invoice (or charged automatically if Sponsor enrolls in card or ACH billing).

3.2 Invoices unpaid 15 days after the due date may result in suspension of paid features until paid. Paid features may be downgraded to a Free Listing after 30 days unpaid.

3.3 Sponsor is responsible for any taxes that apply to the Services, other than taxes on WhileIn’s income.

3.4 Refunds. Fees are non-refundable, except: (a) if WhileIn fails to provide a paid feature for more than 7 consecutive days for reasons within its control, Sponsor gets a pro-rated credit or refund for that period; and (b) if WhileIn terminates without cause under Section 6.3.

4. Sponsor Content

4.1 License. Sponsor grants WhileIn a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable license to use, copy, edit, crop, resize, format, display, and distribute Sponsor’s name, logos, photos, descriptions, menus, deals, and other materials it provides (“Sponsor Content”) in any media, including the app, whilein.app, push notifications, social media, and WhileIn advertising and marketing. The license is perpetual and irrevocable for marketing, social, and promotional materials created before this Agreement ends. After it ends, WhileIn will remove Sponsor Content from Sponsor’s active listing within 30 days, except basic listing facts (name, address, hours, phone, website, and map pin), which WhileIn may keep showing.

4.2 Sponsor promises that: (a) it owns or has permission to use all Sponsor Content; (b) Sponsor Content is accurate and not misleading, including prices, hours, and deal terms; (c) Sponsor will honor every deal or offer it publishes through WhileIn for its stated period; (d) Sponsor holds all licenses and permits required to operate its business; (e) Sponsor Content does not infringe anyone’s rights or violate any law; and (f) Sponsor has written permission from the photographer of every photo it provides and from any identifiable person shown in it, for the uses in Section 4.1.

4.3 Approval and removal. WhileIn may review, edit for length and format, decline, or remove Sponsor Content that it reasonably believes is inaccurate, offensive, unlawful, or harmful to users, and will tell Sponsor when it does so.

4.4 Prohibited content. No content promoting illegal activity, adult content, firearms sales, tobacco or vaping, or misleading health claims. Alcohol may be promoted only by licensed businesses and only in compliance with Florida law and app store rules.

4.5 Reviews. User reviews and community content are the users’ own. WhileIn will not remove a review because it is negative, but Sponsor may report a review that violates WhileIn’s community rules.

5. WhileIn Property

The WhileIn name, logo, app, website, design, and all data and statistics generated by the Services belong to WhileIn. Sponsor may display an “on WhileIn” badge or link provided by WhileIn while this Agreement is active. User personal information is never shared with Sponsor except as a user chooses (for example, a booking request the user sends).

6. Cancellation and Termination

6.1 By Sponsor. Sponsor may cancel a monthly plan at any time by email to [email protected]; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid month (or the end of any minimum term, if later). Annual plans may be cancelled effective at the end of the annual term.

6.2 For cause. Either party may terminate on written notice if the other materially breaches this Agreement and does not fix it within 10 days of notice. WhileIn may suspend or remove a listing immediately if Sponsor Content creates a legal or safety risk, or if Sponsor fails to honor a published deal.

6.3 Without cause by WhileIn. WhileIn may end the Services with 30 days’ notice and will refund any prepaid fees for the unused period.

6.4 Effect. On termination, paid features stop and the business may revert to a Free Listing unless Sponsor asks to be removed. Sections 3 (amounts owed), 4.2, 5, 7, 8, and 9 survive.

7. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

7.1 The Services are provided “as is.” WhileIn does not guarantee the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, and is not responsible for outages of app stores, phone carriers, notification services, or hosting providers.

7.2 To the fullest extent allowed by law, neither party is liable for lost profits or indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages. Each party’s total liability under this Agreement is limited to the fees Sponsor paid in the 12 months before the claim. These limits do not apply to Sponsor’s obligations under Section 8 or amounts Sponsor owes.

8. Indemnity

Sponsor will defend and hold harmless WhileIn, its members, and contractors from third-party claims arising from Sponsor Content, Sponsor’s deals or offers, or Sponsor’s products, services, or premises.

9. General

9.1 Governing law. Texas law governs this Agreement. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Collin County, Texas, unless the parties agree to mediation first.

9.2 Independent parties. The parties are independent businesses. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, or endorsement.

9.3 Notices go by email to the addresses on the Order Form and to [email protected] for WhileIn.

9.4 Assignment. Sponsor may not assign this Agreement without WhileIn’s written consent. WhileIn may assign it to an affiliate or a successor to its business.

9.5 Entire agreement. This Agreement and its Order Form are the entire agreement on this subject. Changes must be in writing (email counts) signed or approved by both parties. If any part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

9.6 Signatures. This Agreement may be signed electronically and in counterparts.
