MASTER CONTRIBUTOR PARTICIPATION & SYNDICATION AGREEMENT

Last Updated: June 2026

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This Master Contributor Participation & Syndication Agreement ("Agreement") is a legally binding agreement between Talent Branded Entertainment, Inc. ("Company," "RLN," "Recovered Life," or "RecoveredLife.tv") and the individual, business entity, content creator, coach, practitioner, podcast host, community leader, or other contributor accepting these terms ("Contributor").

By activating a subscription, creating an account, migrating media content, publishing content through the platform, purchasing a Contributor package, participating in a Room, hosting a podcast, operating a community, or otherwise utilizing RLN services, Contributor agrees to be bound by this Agreement.

This Agreement serves as the foundational governing agreement for all participation within the Recovered Life Network ecosystem. Additional monetization programs may be governed by separate Addendums incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

SECTION 1: THE RLN HARBOR MODEL

1.1 Guiding Philosophy
The Recovered Life Network operates under a simple principle: Contributors own the boats. Recovered Life owns the harbor.
Contributors retain ownership of their independent businesses, brands, practices, intellectual property, educational materials, podcasts, media assets, trademarks, and independently created content.
Talent Branded Entertainment, Inc. owns and operates the Recovered Life platform, infrastructure, technology stack, community systems, production systems, audience ecosystem, directory systems, search engine assets, hosting systems, distribution networks, and monetization infrastructure.
Nothing contained within this Agreement transfers ownership of Contributor intellectual property to Company unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.

1.2 Platform Tenancy
Company grants Contributor a limited, non-exclusive, revocable right to utilize designated platform features, rooms, community spaces, media distribution systems, and related services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
This right constitutes a license to use the platform and does not create any ownership interest in Company assets, systems, technology, member databases, platform infrastructure, or community properties.

SECTION 6: PROVIDER RULES & HIPAA SEPARATION

6.1 Educational Platform Status
Recovered Life Network operates as a media platform, educational platform, community platform, and content distribution network. RLN is not a healthcare provider, treatment facility, medical practice, counseling center, therapy platform, or electronic health record provider.

6.1.1 Peer Support Community Acknowledgment
Contributor acknowledges that RLN operates as a peer-support, educational, media, and community platform. Participation within RLN communities, rooms, events, discussions, livestreams, messaging systems, and content experiences is intended for peer support, education, discussion, advocacy, and community engagement purposes only. Neither participation in RLN nor interaction with Contributors, Providers, moderators, hosts, guests, community leaders, or members shall create a therapist-patient relationship, provider-patient relationship, counselor-client relationship, treatment relationship, healthcare relationship, or other professional services relationship. Users remain solely responsible for determining whether professional healthcare, counseling, therapy, crisis intervention, or other professional services are appropriate for their circumstances.

6.2 Provider Responsibilities
Providers remain solely responsible for licensing compliance, professional standards, clinical obligations, regulatory compliance, insurance requirements, and client communications.

6.3 External Service Delivery
All professional services, including but not limited to therapy, counseling, coaching, treatment services, and clinical consultations, must be delivered entirely outside RLN infrastructure using Provider-controlled systems. Examples include independent EHR systems, HIPAA-compliant scheduling platforms, secure intake systems, and independent payment processors.

6.4 HIPAA Isolation Wall
RLN is not designed to receive, store, process, or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI). Providers agree that all patient, client, medical, clinical, treatment, and healthcare information shall remain entirely outside RLN systems.

6.4.1 User Responsibility Regarding Health Information
RLN is a community, educational, media, and content platform and is not intended for the transmission, storage, processing, management, or exchange of Protected Health Information ("PHI"), medical records, treatment records, clinical records, or other regulated healthcare information. Contributors, Providers, and users are expressly instructed not to submit, upload, transmit, store, message, publish, post, or communicate Protected Health Information through RLN Infrastructure. Any individual who voluntarily discloses personal health information through RLN does so at their own discretion and risk. RLN does not review, monitor, verify, collect, maintain, or manage health information for treatment, healthcare operations, payment processing, diagnosis, counseling, therapy, or clinical purposes.

6.4.2 No Business Associate Relationship
RLN does not act as a Business Associate, healthcare provider, treatment provider, covered entity, electronic health record provider, telehealth provider, medical records processor, or healthcare operations vendor. No Contributor, Provider, user, client, patient, therapist, coach, counselor, treatment provider, or healthcare organization shall utilize RLN Infrastructure for the exchange, storage, transmission, management, or processing of Protected Health Information. Providers remain solely responsible for utilizing appropriate HIPAA-compliant systems where required by applicable law.

6.5 Provider Promotional Rights
Approved Providers may maintain professional profiles, display approved external links, promote professional services, utilize scheduling links, and direct prospective clients to Provider-controlled systems. All services must ultimately be transacted outside RLN infrastructure.

6.6 Provider Liability
Provider assumes sole responsibility for all professional services delivered through their independent business. Company shall not be liable for professional malpractice claims, licensing disputes, clinical complaints, regulatory investigations, treatment outcomes, or client disputes arising from Provider activities. Provider agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company from such claims.

SECTION 7: COMMUNITY MONETIZATION, PREMIUM LEARNING ASSETS & HARBOR PROTECTION

7.1 The Non-Bypass Principle
Contributor acknowledges that Company invests substantial resources to build, maintain, and promote the Recovered Life Network audience ecosystem, community infrastructure, technology stack, content distribution systems, directory systems, production resources, and visibility channels.
Accordingly, Contributor agrees not to utilize RLN infrastructure, community visibility, audience access, member databases, messaging systems, podcast properties, directory listings, rooms, events, livestreams, or other platform resources to circumvent RLN monetization programs or divert network-generated opportunities into unauthorized commercial arrangements.

7.2 Premium Learning Assets
The following categories are collectively referred to as "Premium Learning Assets": Courses, Cohorts, Masterminds, Membership programs, Workshops, Educational programs, Certification programs, Accountability programs, Premium support communities, Educational challenges, and Subscription-based learning experiences. The Company reserves the right to determine whether a specific offering falls within a Premium Learning Asset category.

7.3 Monetization Through RLN
Content Creators and Providers may participate in approved monetization programs governed by the applicable Community Monetization Addendum. No Premium Learning Asset may be monetized through RLN infrastructure unless approved by Company and governed by the applicable monetization framework.

7.4 Independent Activities Outside RLN
Nothing in this Agreement prevents Contributor from independently operating a business, website, social media presence, podcast, practice, or brand outside RLN. However, Contributor may not utilize RLN infrastructure, visibility systems, audience channels, member access, community spaces, messaging systems, livestream tools, or platform assets to market, promote, enroll, sell, or distribute Premium Learning Assets outside approved RLN monetization programs.

7.4.1 Independent Business Activities
Nothing in this Agreement restricts Contributor from independently owning, operating, promoting, or monetizing their personal business, professional practice, website, podcast, social media channels, email lists, products, services, courses, memberships, educational programs, coaching services, consulting services, books, speaking engagements, or other independent business activities conducted outside RLN Infrastructure.
RLN does not claim ownership of Contributor's independently developed business relationships, customers, clients, subscribers, followers, website visitors, social media audiences, email subscribers, products, services, or intellectual property. The restrictions contained within this Section apply solely to the use of RLN-owned infrastructure, platform resources, member access, community spaces, messaging systems, events, rooms, directories, and other network assets.

7.5 Future Protected Categories
As RLN expands, Company may develop additional educational, certification, training, membership, community, or professional development programs. Such future categories shall be afforded the same protection as Premium Learning Assets under this Agreement.

SECTION 8: MERCHANDISE & COMMERCIAL PROMOTIONS

8.1 Permitted Creator Merchandise
Content Creators and Providers may promote and sell limited physical merchandise associated with their personal brand, podcast, community, or show. Examples include T-shirts, hoodies, hats, mugs, stickers, journals, printed books, and branded promotional merchandise.

8.2 Merchandise Limitations
Permitted merchandise shall be limited to physical brand-support products. Contributor may not utilize merchandise permissions to promote healthcare products, supplements, medical products, consumer packaged goods, commercial products that compete with RLN advertisers, affiliate products, or third-party commercial products without prior written approval from Company.

8.3 Promotional Visibility
The ability to promote merchandise remains subject to the permissions associated with Contributor's subscription tier and platform privileges.

SECTION 9: THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS, AFFILIATES & SPONSORSHIPS

SECTION 10: JOINT VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES

10.1 Separate Agreements Required
From time to time, Company and Contributor may elect to jointly develop, produce, market, license, monetize, or commercialize specific products, services, events, educational programs, certifications, memberships, communities, courses, masterminds, or business opportunities. Any such opportunity shall be governed exclusively by a separate written Joint Venture Rider or Commercial Agreement executed by both parties.

10.2 No Implied Joint Venture
Nothing contained within this Agreement creates joint ownership, partnership, joint venture, revenue-sharing rights, or co-development rights unless expressly established through a separate written agreement executed by both parties.

10.3 Ownership Presumption
Absent a separate written Joint Venture Rider, Contributor retains ownership of Contributor-created intellectual property and Company retains ownership of Company-owned platform assets, systems, infrastructure, and network properties.

SECTION 11: ARCHIVES, TERMINATION & PLATFORM CONTINUITY

11.1 No Guarantee of Continued Participation
Participation within RLN is a privilege and not a right. Company reserves the right to suspend, restrict, terminate, or discontinue Contributor participation for violations of this Agreement, legal compliance concerns, community safety concerns, non-payment, or conduct that materially harms the network.

11.2 Termination Without Cause
Either party may terminate participation upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.

11.3 Immediate Termination For Cause
Company may immediately suspend or terminate Contributor participation without advance notice if Contributor:

• Materially breaches this Agreement;
• Violates community standards;
• Creates significant legal exposure;
• Engages in fraud or deceptive conduct;
• Loses required professional licenses or misrepresents professional credentials;
• Fails to maintain required insurance where applicable; or
• Violates applicable laws or regulations.

11.4 Platform Offboarding
Upon termination, Company may remove Contributor profile pages, remove active directory placements, remove promotional positioning, disable platform access, remove community administration privileges, and remove active subscription benefits.

11.5 Archival Retention Rights
Contributor grants Company a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to maintain, archive, distribute, display, and preserve content created during Contributor participation. This includes podcasts, interviews, livestream recordings, articles, videos, promotional materials, social media clips, community posts, and historical media assets. Such content may remain accessible within RLN archives, media libraries, historical catalogs, syndicated distribution channels, and network properties.

11.5.1 Ownership and Archival Rights Clarification
Contributor retains ownership of all Contributor-owned intellectual property. However, Contributor acknowledges that participation in the RLN ecosystem includes the grant of ongoing archival, historical distribution, promotional, and syndication rights for content created, recorded, published, or distributed during participation in the network. Accordingly, while Contributor retains ownership of the underlying intellectual property, Contributor does not possess the right to require RLN to remove, discontinue, destroy, or cease distribution of historical content lawfully created, published, recorded, promoted, or distributed during the Contributor's participation period, except as otherwise required by applicable law or a separate written agreement. The parties acknowledge that ownership of intellectual property and the grant of archival distribution rights are separate legal concepts and are intended to coexist under this Agreement.

11.6 Inactivity, Abandonment, Death & Incapacity
If Contributor becomes inactive, abandons the platform, dissolves their business, becomes incapacitated, passes away, fails to maintain an active subscription, or is removed for breach, RLN may manage, archive, discontinue, remove, redirect, merge, repurpose, reassign, or otherwise administer RLN-owned platform assets as reasonably necessary to maintain network continuity.
For the avoidance of doubt, Contributor-owned intellectual property shall remain the property of Contributor or Contributor's lawful estate, successors, or assigns. However, no ownership interest shall exist in RLN-owned infrastructure, including without limitation:

• Recovered Life domains and subdomains;
• Community locations;
• Room assignments;
• Directory placements;
• Member databases;
• Network URLs;
• Distribution systems;
• Platform pages;
• Audience development assets; and
• Network infrastructure.

RLN shall have no obligation to transfer control of RLN-owned infrastructure to Contributor's estate, heirs, beneficiaries, representatives, successors, or assigns. Nothing in this Section limits RLN's archival, syndication, promotional, or historical content rights granted elsewhere in this Agreement.

SECTION 12: DISCLAIMERS & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

12.1 No Guarantee of Results
Company provides access to technology, production resources, community infrastructure, visibility opportunities, distribution systems, promotional support, sponsorship opportunities, and networking resources. Company makes no guarantees regarding audience growth, revenue generation, sponsorship acquisition, client acquisition, community growth, search rankings, downloads, subscribers, business success, professional success, or lead generation.

12.2 Platform Provided As-Is
The RLN platform, software, services, technology, tools, content distribution systems, and community infrastructure are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. Company disclaims all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14.3 Platform Evolution
Company may modify, redesign, replace, discontinue, remove, or enhance platform features, subscription benefits, software functionality, monetization programs, community features, or technology systems at any time.

14.3.1 Good Faith Platform Administration
While Company reserves the rights described in this Agreement regarding platform operations, feature modifications, program changes, monetization initiatives, content standards, and technology evolution, Company shall exercise such rights in good faith and in a manner reasonably intended to support the operation, integrity, safety, sustainability, and continued development of the RLN ecosystem. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Company to maintain any specific feature, monetization program, technology platform, advertising program, distribution channel, community service, creator program, or business initiative for any particular period of time.

14.4 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 15: ADDENDUM ACTIVATION

The following Addendums are incorporated into this Agreement by reference:

• Podcast Monetization & Revenue Addendum
• Community Monetization & Revenue Addendum

Contributor accepts all incorporated Addendums upon acceptance of this Agreement. However, each Addendum becomes operative only when Contributor elects to participate in the corresponding program, feature, service, or monetization framework.

CONTRIBUTOR ACCEPTANCE
