INCENTIVES
This section governs if You offer an Incentive as part of the Recruitment process. You can provide Incentives to Panelists for Panelist Data at Your own cost. You will determine nature, eligibility, support, cost, and distribution of Incentives. This incentive can take the form of instant win promotion, coupon, achievement award, or any other promotion allowed to be offered as part of the Recruitment, subject to the prior approval of Placed.
By adding an Incentive to Your Recruitment, or publicizing, promoting, advertising an Incentive on Placed You agree to the following.
(i) You are solely responsible for ensuring that any Incentive complies with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and industry rules and guidelines. You acknowledge that compliance with this Recruitment Incentives Policy does not imply compliance with all applicable laws.

The Recruitment Page must clearly and prominently explain the terms and conditions of Incentive offer, including what will happen if the Panelist's participation or the Application is terminated or discontinued for any reason, or if this agreement is terminated (whether by You or Placed), prior to the Incentive being earned. In the event that this agreement is terminated by either party, then with respect to any Panelists who have not earned their Incentive, You must at a minimum provide such Panelists with fair and reasonable compensation for their participation in the Panel through the date of such termination which would typically be a prorated portion of the Incentive where feasible.
When an Incentive has been earned, Placed may provide You with certain contact information or other personal information about a Panelist to enable You to deliver the Incentive to the Panelist or otherwise administer the Incentive. You may use such information solely for this purpose and You may not retain or use the information for any other purpose or share such information with any third parties. You further agree to take appropriate measures to protect the privacy and confidentiality of such information and the Analytics Data and not to attempt to connect such contact information to any of the Analytics Data or other information You may already have or that You may receive pursuant to the Services.

(vii) condition entry upon the purchase of a product, completion of a lengthy Recruitment or other task, or other form of consideration. Recruitments should not take longer than 15 minutes for a respondent to complete.
You must not add an Incentive to Your Recruitment if You do not meet the requirements above. Any publicity associated with the Incentive must be true and accurate, and must not mislead, deceive or otherwise misrepresent the Incentive or any other aspect of the Incentive. You will not directly or indirectly indicate Placed is a sponsor or administrator of the Incentive or is responsible or liable in any manner for the Incentive.
You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Placed, Inc. and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs) for any claim or cause of action related in any manner to the Incentive, including the publicity, administration or legality of that Incentive and the failure to deliver such Incentive.
Placed may remove or require You to remove any materials relating to Your Incentive, or suspend or cancel Your Incentive or account at any time and for any reason, including if Placed determines that You violated these Terms of Service, or if we believe that the continued marketing or administration of Your Incentive may be unlawful under applicable laws, regulations, industry rules or guidelines, or may cause an unreasonable risk of liability or harm.
Placed reserves the right to review and approve Your Incentive at any time, but we are under no obligation to do so, and You agree that You are solely responsible for such Incentives, including for the selection, description, legality, and payment thereof. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Service does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
