1.    ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By using our web site (the "Web Site") or using or registering for any associated services provided by KOMACI (together with the Web Site, the "Services"), you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by the following terms of use, which may be updated from time to time with or without notice (collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Terms and Conditions"). The Terms and Conditions constitute a binding contract between you and KOMACI, its representatives, designees, licensees, and assigns ("KOMACI Network", "we", "us", or "our"), regarding your use of the Web Site.

You represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into these Terms and Conditions. You may not access or use the Web Site or Services or accept these Terms and Conditions if you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with KOMACI. If you do not agree with the Terms and Conditions, do not access or use the Web Site or Services.

2.    SERVICE DESCRIPTION AND USAGE TERMS

KOMACI offers a network on the internet ("Komaci Network") which allows users who register with KOMACI and become approved as "People Media/Influencer" by KOMACI to incorporate specific advertisement messages ("Advertisements"), in a manner instructed by KOMACI as part of advertising programs provided by online advertisers ("Advertisers") on social networking sites and publishing services that are approved by KOMACI (each, an "SNS"). As the Advertisements are published, they are displayed alongside the Publisher's other messages. Certain Publishers will be financially rewarded for successful transactions, which originate from a published Advertisement that was previously approved by KOMACI, and that complies with the commission guidelines published by KOMACI in connection with the rules for the KOMACI program for publication of Advertisements (the "Program"). All such payments to Publishers are referred to as "Publisher Payments".

By using the Services as a People Media, you grant us the right to use your name and likeness to promote you on the Services and to be included on lists of representative publishers who use the Service on our Web Site and elsewhere, in any form, media or technology now known or later developed. I waive any right of inspection of my likeness and also waive all rights of privacy and/or publicity that would otherwise preclude KOMACI use of my name and likeness for commercial and other purposes.

-    People Media / Influencer Account

In order to use certain features of the Web Site and to use the Services, you must apply for a People Media account with the Program ("Account") by providing certain information about yourself as prompted by the Web Site registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; and (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information. Accounts are open to individuals only (no corporations or other legal entities) that are residents in Malaysia. We may permit you to login to or integrate the Web Site or Services with your applicable SNS login credentials. If you log in or otherwise associate your Account with your SNS login credentials, we may receive information about you from the SNS, in accordance with the applicable SNS terms and conditions (e.g., terms of use and privacy policy). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to immediately notify Komaci of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security. Komaci cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

If your Account is approved, at KOMACI sole discretion, and subject to inventory availability and the needs of the applicable Advertisers, KOMACI may contact you regarding the placement of Advertisements, which you may include on your SNS posts in order to earn People Media Payments in accordance with the Program's commission guidelines. Hereafter, "Advertisements", "ad(s)", "CPT ad(s)", CPA ad(s) and any combinations thereof mean Advertisements listed, provided, or made available to you specifically by Komaci.
