  1. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

   1.1 Lucid’s Role. We provide Buyers and Suppliers with access to the Lucid Services. Other than of Lucid Marketplace Services, We do not buy, acquire, resell or otherwise provide Sample or other services that are ultimately provided by You. Buyers and Suppliers transact directly with each other by accessing and using Lucid Marketplace. Lucid does not accept any responsibility for the composition of Sample or for the legal and compliance obligations of Buyers or Suppliers related to Sample that is sold and procured by Suppliers and Buyers, respectively, when accessing and using Lucid Marketplace. If Buyers fail or Suppliers fail to honor their contractual and legal obligations, Lucid may assert its own rights against the party in breach. We will also make good faith attempts to resolve any disputes between a Buyer and a Supplier, but Lucid does not accept responsibility or liability for Buyers’ or Suppliers’ obligations or liability to one another.

   1.2 Buyers’ and Suppliers’ Obligations to Lucid. As a Buyer, You must comply with all Applicable Laws and terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Suppliers must ensure that Respondents have received all required privacy notices and provided consent to processing and sharing of their personal data if and as required by Applicable Laws. Buyers must also ensure that Respondents have received all required privacy notices and provided consent to processing and sharing of their personal data once the survey begins off the Lucid Marketplace if and as required by Applicable Laws.

   1.3 Buyer’s Obligations to Suppliers. As described in Section 3 below, You must pay all fees to Lucid when due and honor all obligations for Buyer Opportunities. For OTC Activity, We disclaim responsibility for evaluating and do not represent OTC Supplier’s compliance with any Applicable Laws.

   1.4 Suppliers’ Obligations to Buyers. Suppliers must perform the obligations they accept with respect to particular Buyer Opportunities, and any terms specified by the Buyer.

   1.5 Code of Conduct. Lucid and Buyers are independent entities, but the business practices and actions of Buyers and Suppliers may significantly impact or reflect upon Lucid’s reputation and its brands. Accordingly, Lucid requires all Suppliers and Buyers and their Users to adhere to Lucid’s Code of Conduct (“Code”) while conducting business on the Lucid Marketplace, whether via Lucid APIs or otherwise as Marketplace Activity or OTC Activity. You shall ensure that Your Users understand and comply with the Code through education, training, and awareness. The Code is available at: https://luc.id/code-of-conduct/.

   1.6 Personal Data and Compliance with Data Privacy Laws. Suppliers own relationships and primary privacy compliance obligations with respect to their Respondents and to their Sample and Supplier Services. Suppliers ensure and warrant their Respondents receive accurate privacy notices and consents if required by Applicable Laws. Buyers shall ensure and warrant the Respondents receive accurate privacy notices and consent if required by Applicable Laws related to data collected off the Lucid Marketplace. Lucid will process data of Respondents as described in Lucid’s Privacy Policy found at http://luc.id/legal/privacy-policy. Buyers shall not re-identify any Respondents or contact Respondents outside Buyer Opportunities or Lucid Services, except as required by Applicable Laws. Lucid, Buyers, and Suppliers shall each respect the privacy of Respondents and comply with all Applicable Laws related to data privacy and data protection. Additional processing obligations related to data are found in the Code.

  1. LUCID SERVICES.

   2.1 Availability of Lucid Services. We will (i) allow You and Your Users access to the Lucid Services pursuant to this Agreement during the applicable Subscription Term(s) once You have purchased the Lucid Services via an Order Form; (ii) make technical support available to You, either through Our end user support team, at no additional charge; and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to make the online Lucid Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the Public Cloud, except for: (a) downtime for Scheduled Maintenance or emergency maintenance, and (b) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Our reasonable control, including, for example, an act of God, act of government, flood, fire, earthquake, hurricane, civil unrest, act of terror, strike or other labor problem, or Internet service provider failure or delay.

   2.2 Scheduled Maintenance and Emergency Maintenance. Lucid will provide You with at least 7 days advance written notice (e.g., electronic notice to Your Users either via the Lucid Marketplace or email) of any scheduled maintenance, including the time and the length of the scheduled maintenance period (Scheduled Maintenance). If Lucid deems it necessary to perform emergency maintenance on the Lucid Marketplace (meaning any downtime that is not Scheduled Maintenance), Lucid will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide You with 24-hour notice (e.g., electronic notice to Your Users either via the Lucid Marketplace or email).

   2.3 Security Measures. In order to protect the integrity and quality of Sample sold on the Lucid Marketplace, Lucid may, without liability, suspend or terminate any or all access to the Lucid Services by revoking Your Lucid Integration keys or restricting Your User login(s): (i) following a possible or actual security breach or cyber-attack on Lucid or its Public Cloud, (ii) in order to protect Lucid’s network in the Public Cloud, (iii) if required by a governmental entity or law enforcement agency, (iv) if You or a User or Respondent is causing technical or other problems to the Public Cloud, (v) upon the termination or expiration of a Subscription Term, or (vi) as otherwise allowed under this Agreement.

  1. BECOMING A BUYER ON THE LUCID MARKETPLACE

   3.1 Access to Lucid Marketplace as a Buyer. You will be granted access to the Lucid Marketplace as a Buyer by executing an Order Form, agreeing to pay the Buyer Fees (as described below), and satisfying Our credit processes.

   3.2 Sample Cost and Buyer Fees for Marketplace Activity. Using the Lucid Marketplace, Buyers establish and agree upon distinct pricing with each Supplier participating in the Buyer Opportunity, which amounts are then aggregated as the total Sample Cost. In addition to the Sample Cost You pay to the Suppliers, You will be charged certain Buyer Fees by Us for each Buyer Opportunity, in accordance with the Order Form. For each Buyer Opportunity, the associated Buyer Fees are Confidential Information (as between You and Lucid) and subject to the restrictions in Section 5.1 below.

   3.3 Counterparty Transactions. In the case of Marketplace Activity, the Lucid Marketplace is used to source Sample from a Supplier on behalf of a Buyer. Lucid is counterparty to this transaction, which means on a monthly basis, Lucid invoices the Buyer directly for cost of Sample sourced via the Lucid Marketplace, and the Supplier invoices Lucid directly for cost of Sample acquired via the Lucid Marketplace. Buyer and Suppliers do not send or receive invoices from one another.

   3.4 Over-the-Counter Activity. Lucid is not counterparty to OTC Activity. The Supplier invoices the Buyer directly for cost of Sample delivered on the Lucid Marketplace.

   3.5 Invoicing. Lucid will invoice Buyer monthly for (i) the Sample Cost of Marketplace Completes, and (ii) the Buyer Fees, including reconciliation adjustments and any related charges (as described in Section 3.6 below). All invoices will be submitted to the billing contact specified on the Order Form. The Buyer is responsible for notifying Lucid when contact information needs to be updated. Buyer will be charged the Annual Fee upon execution of Order Form. The Annual Fee will be applied to Buyer Fees as incurred on the Lucid Marketplace. In the event the Buyer Transaction Fees for the year exceed the Annual Fee, You will be charged incremental Buyer Transaction Fees monthly. The Annual Fee does not include the Buyer Commission, any supplier commissions, or any fees for premium services.  The Annual Fee is waived for the Pilot Period.

   3.6 Reconciliation Process. During a Reconciliation Window, Buyers have the right to adjust the status of transactions for both Marketplace Activity and OTC Activity from Completed to Terminated or from Terminated to Completed; provided however, such reconciliations shall be processed in accordance with the Code, the terms and conditions for Buyers on the Lucid Marketplace, and the Reconciliation Report at: https://support.lucidhq.com/s/article/Reconciliation-Report. Reconciling transactions from Terminated or “In Screener/Drop” to Completed is necessary when technical errors prevent the recording of a Completed status on the Lucid Marketplace. Buyers can make these adjustments for both Marketplace Activity and OTC Activity; provided however, related to Marketplace Activity Lucid reserves the right to reject reconciliations in its sole reasonable judgment. AFTER THE RECONCILIATION WINDOW, YOU SHALL PAY FOR ALL SAMPLE COST AND ASSOCIATED BUYER FEES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RECONCILED.

   3.7 Payment Disputes. If You believe any invoice from Us is incorrect, You must contact Lucid in writing within 30 days of invoice date setting forth the nature and amount of the requested correction directed to accounting@luc.id. Otherwise, invoices are final. Lucid has the right to recover any amounts overpaid to You.
