    PODCAST MONETIZATION & REVENUE ADDENDUM

    Last Updated: June 2026

    1. PURPOSE

    This Podcast Monetization & Revenue Addendum ("Addendum") supplements and is incorporated into the Recovered Life Network Master Contributor Participation & Syndication Agreement ("Master Agreement").

    This Addendum becomes active only when a Contributor hosts a podcast through RLN, migrates an RSS feed into RLN, participates in podcast monetization, receives sponsorship revenue through RLN, or participates in RLN podcast advertising programs.

    All ownership rights, syndication rights, archive rights, recording rights, promotional rights, and platform rules remain governed by the Master Agreement.

    2. PODCAST OWNERSHIP

    Contributor retains ownership of their independently created podcast, show name, artwork, trademarks, logos, creative content, and intellectual property. Nothing contained in this Addendum transfers ownership of the podcast to RLN. Contributor grants RLN the rights necessary to host, distribute, promote, syndicate, archive, and monetize the podcast pursuant to the Master Agreement.

    3. NETWORK DISTRIBUTION

    RLN may host podcast content, manage RSS feeds, syndicate content, distribute content, promote podcast episodes, archive historical content, utilize clips and excerpts, and publish content through current and future distribution channels. Podcasts participating in RLN may be distributed through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, podcast directories, streaming platforms, RecoveredLife.tv, and future distribution partners.

    4. NETWORK ADVERTISING

    RLN shall serve as the exclusive administrator of podcast sponsorship sales, network advertising inventory, and monetization programs operating through the RLN podcast network. Advertising inventory may include host-read advertisements, dynamic ad insertion, sponsorship placements, network advertisements, cross-promotions, and internal network promotions. RLN retains sole discretion regarding advertising inventory administration.

    5. ADVERTISING INVENTORY

    Each podcast episode may contain a maximum of three (3) advertising positions. Advertising positions may include pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll. RLN reserves the right to determine placement strategy and inventory utilization.

    6. SPONSORSHIP REVENUE & NETWORK MONETIZATION

    All sponsorship revenue generated through RLN podcast infrastructure shall be administered through RLN. Contributors may not independently sell, broker, assign, transfer, or monetize podcast advertising inventory distributed through RLN infrastructure without Company approval. All sponsorship revenue shall be processed through RLN and distributed in accordance with this Addendum.

    7. ORIGINATION COMMISSION & REVENUE SHARING

    7.1 Host-Originated Sponsors

    If a Contributor introduces a sponsor that ultimately enters into a paid sponsorship arrangement with RLN, the Contributor shall receive an Origination Commission equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross sponsorship amount. The Origination Commission shall be paid first. The remaining sponsorship revenue shall then enter the Network Revenue Share program.

    Example:
    Sponsorship Amount: $10,000
    Origination Commission (10%): $1,000
    Remaining Revenue: $9,000 (Network Revenue Share Applied to Remaining Revenue)

    7.2 Revenue Distribution

    Following payment of any applicable Origination Commission, the remaining sponsorship revenue shall be distributed as follows:

    • Fifty Percent (50%) to RLN.
    • Fifty Percent (50%) to the participating podcast associated with the sponsored advertising inventory.

    For sponsorship opportunities sourced directly by RLN, no Origination Commission shall apply, and sponsorship revenue shall be distributed fifty percent (50%) to RLN and fifty percent (50%) to the participating podcast. RLN shall administer all sponsorship billing, collections, reporting, and distributions.

    8. PROVIDER PROMOTIONAL PLACEMENT

    Provider Tier participants may utilize one advertising placement per episode to promote their own professional practice, coaching business, counseling practice, treatment facility, or approved professional services. Provider promotional placements:

    • Count as one of the three available advertising positions;
    • May not be sold or transferred to third parties;
    • May not be used to promote unaffiliated commercial sponsors; and
    • Must comply with all applicable professional, ethical, legal, and licensing requirements.

    This placement is intended solely for promotion of the Provider's own services.

    9. NO INDEPENDENT AD BROKERAGE

    Contributors shall not act as independent advertising brokers within the RLN podcast network. All sponsorship sales, network advertising campaigns, and podcast advertising arrangements utilizing RLN infrastructure shall be administered through RLN. No Contributor may independently sell podcast advertising inventory and retain one hundred percent (100%) of sponsorship revenue while utilizing RLN podcast distribution infrastructure.

    10. PAYMENT PROCEDURES

    Revenue distributions shall occur according to Company payout schedules. Company may establish minimum payout thresholds, maintain reserve accounts, offset refunds, offset chargebacks, and offset fraud adjustments. Contributor remains responsible for all taxes associated with distributions received.

    11. INVALID TRAFFIC & FRAUD

    RLN may exclude from revenue calculations any traffic determined to be fraudulent, artificial, automated, bot-generated, manipulated, incentivized, or invalid. RLN retains sole discretion regarding traffic validation.

    12. ADVERTISER CONTROL & CATEGORIES

    12.1 Advertising Category Restrictions

    RLN retains final authority regarding sponsor approval, advertising inventory, campaign placement, and monetization decisions. Contributors may request exclusion from specific advertising categories that reasonably conflict with:

    • Professional licensing obligations;
    • Ethical obligations;
    • Regulatory requirements;
    • Recovery-focused content standards;
    • Professional reputation concerns; or
    • Brand safety considerations.

    RLN shall review such requests in good faith but retains final discretion regarding campaign administration and inventory allocation. Unless otherwise approved by RLN in writing, exclusion requests shall apply to advertising categories rather than individual advertisers.

    12.2 No Contributor Approval Rights

    Except where expressly provided in a separate written agreement, Contributors do not possess approval rights over individual advertisers, sponsorship arrangements, advertising campaigns, advertising creatives, advertising placements, or network monetization decisions. RLN retains exclusive authority to administer network advertising programs.

    12.3 Restricted Advertising Categories

    RLN may establish prohibited or restricted advertising categories applicable to some or all network properties. Such categories may include, without limitation: alcohol, gambling, adult content, illegal products or services, predatory lending services, deceptive financial products, and other categories determined by RLN to create legal, ethical, regulatory, or reputational concerns. RLN may modify such categories at any time in its reasonable business discretion.

    13. RSS FEED MANAGEMENT

    RLN may host, manage, distribute, and administer podcast RSS feeds participating in RLN podcast services.

    13.1 Podcast Feed Transition

    Upon termination of participation, RLN may, but shall not be obligated to, assist a Contributor with the migration, transfer, or redirection of a podcast RSS feed administered by RLN. Any such assistance shall be voluntary and provided solely as an accommodation to the Contributor.

    Contributor acknowledges that podcast distribution relies upon third-party hosting providers, podcast directories, software platforms, and distribution services beyond RLN's control. Accordingly, RLN makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding:

    • (a) availability of a 301 redirect;
    • (b) transfer of subscribers, followers, ratings, reviews, analytics, audience data, or historical statistics;
    • (c) retention of podcast rankings or directory placement;
    • (d) uninterrupted distribution;
    • (e) migration of advertising relationships; or
    • (f) completion of any migration, transfer, or redirect within a specific timeframe.

    Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring RLN to provide a feed transfer, feed redirect, hosting export, account transfer, or other migration assistance.

    13.2 Platform Assets, Domains & Network Properties

    All RLN-owned infrastructure shall remain the exclusive property of Company before, during, and after Contributor participation. Company-owned assets include, without limitation: RecoveredLife.tv domains and subdomains; podcast landing pages; show profile pages; directory placements; community pages; room assignments; group pages; network URLs; member databases; network branding placements; search engine assets; hosting systems; technology infrastructure; distribution systems; and audience development assets.

    Contributor receives only a limited, revocable license to utilize such assets while actively participating in the network. Upon termination, suspension, expiration, or discontinuation of participation, Company may remove, disable, archive, redirect, repurpose, reassign, merge, discontinue, or otherwise manage such assets in its sole discretion. Contributor acknowledges that no ownership interest is acquired in any Recovered Life domain, subdomain, URL, directory placement, room, group, community location, network property, audience asset, or platform infrastructure.

    13.3 Podcast Accounts & Distribution Platforms

    Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any podcast hosting account, podcast management account, distribution account, analytics account, advertising account, Apple Podcasts account, Spotify account, YouTube account, or other platform account established, administered, or maintained by RLN as part of network operations shall remain under RLN control. Nothing in this Agreement obligates RLN to transfer ownership or administrative control of any such account upon termination.

    14. TERMINATION OF PODCAST PARTICIPATION

    Upon termination, future monetization rights, advertising placements, sponsorship participation, and revenue participation cease. Previously earned compensation remains payable pursuant to this Addendum. Archive rights, recording rights, syndication rights, promotional rights, and historical distribution rights remain governed by the Master Agreement.

    15. NO GUARANTEE OF REVENUE

    RLN makes no guarantees regarding sponsorship opportunities, advertising sales, podcast growth, downloads, subscribers, revenue generation, or audience growth. Participation in RLN podcast monetization programs does not guarantee financial results.

    16. INCORPORATION OF MASTER AGREEMENT

    This Addendum is incorporated into and governed by the Master Contributor Participation & Syndication Agreement. In the event of a conflict, the order of precedence shall be:

    1. Joint Venture Rider (if applicable)
