THE DEVELOPER PORTAL, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE ACCEPTING A
BENEFIT BY USING THE SERVICE, AND THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD,
AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT INCLUDING THE REQUIREMENT OF BINDING ARBITRATION FOR
ALL LEGAL DISPUTES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, CLICK THE "I DECLINE" BUTTON AND YOU
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT ON THE DEVELOPER PORTAL.

THE SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN (18)
OR TO ANY USERS PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED, TERMINATED, OR REMOVED FROM
THE SERVICE BY ANCHORFREE.

By clicking the "I Accept" button or by otherwise registering for, accessing or using the Service,
You represent that You are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have not been previously
suspended or removed from the Service by AnchorFree.
In this Agreement “AnchorFree” means AnchorFree, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, located at
155 Constitution Drive Menlo Park, CA 94025, and AnchorFree GmbH, a Swiss Corporation,
located at Hansmatt 32 6370 Stans, Switzerland. If You are registering for an AnchorFree
account or using AnchorFree’s Service on behalf of an organization, You are agreeing to these
Terms for that organization and promising AnchorFree that You have the authority to bind that
organization to these Terms (and, in which case, the terms “You” and “Your” will refer to that
organization). You may not use the Service and may not accept the Terms if You are a person
barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or other countries,
including the country in which You are resident or from which You use the Service.

1. The Service and Term

1.1 The Service. When AnchorFree refers to our “Service" in these Terms, this includes our
free trial developer portal services, which includes all of our programs, features, functions and
report formats, instructions, code samples, the AnchorFree markup language, on-line help files
and technical documentation, our website, account portal, technical support, Add-ons, as well as
any upgrades or updates to any of these, made generally available by us, and includes any of our
VNP SDKs, Proxy SDKs, SDKs, APIs or software provided to You including Hotspot Shield
Software, in connection with Your use of our Service, and our connectivity services to develop
Your minimally viable product (“MVP”) into an “Application” or “App”. AnchorFree provides
the Service as a means of protecting Your privacy by establishing a secure VPN connection
when connecting to the Internet through unsecured networks or browsing unsecured websites.
The Service's VPN utilizes a proxy Internet Protocol ("IP") address (a "Proxy IP Address").

1.2 Traffic Protection. The Service was developed to provide protection against hacking and
other potential privacy vulnerabilities when surfing the Internet on an unsecure network, or
browsing the Internet by creating a VPN that encrypts traffic to and from a computer or other
equipment enabled to access the Internet (a "Device"), and utilizing a Proxy IP Address provided
by AnchorFree. However, software is not perfect and due to defects, bugs, or other reasons, or
for no reason at all, AnchorFree does not guarantee that the Service will create a VPN or utilize a
Proxy IP Address on all websites.
1.3 Free Trial and Paid Service. You can use our Service for free to develop Your
Application or App into an MVP. If You Choose to distribute, sell, or otherwise use the Service
as a viable product, You will need to enter into a separate agreement with AnchorFree, so please
contact us to discuss at: platformpartners@anchorfree.com.

1.4 Term Period. The period of these Terms will commence on the date these Terms are
accepted by You and continue for twelve (12) months. This is called the Initial Period. These
Terms will automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Period”),
unless either You or AnchorFree provide notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to
the end of the Initial Period or a Renewal Period. The Initial Period and all Renewal Periods will
be referred to in this Agreement as the “Terms Period”.

1.5 Termination by AnchorFree. AnchorFree may terminate your use of the Service and
Agreement may occur at any time if You: (a) have breached any provision of this Agreement; or
(b) AnchorFree is required to do so by law; or (c) AnchorFree decides to no longer provide the
Service or certain parts of the Service to users in the country in which You are resident or from
which You use the Service.

1.6 Termination and Suspension of Services. Either Party may terminate Your account for
any reason upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other Party. Either Party may also terminate

2
or suspend Your account in the event the other Party commits any material breach of these
Terms and fails to fix that breach within five (5) days after written notice of that breach. If
AnchorFree terminates these Terms due to Your material breach, AnchorFree may terminate or
suspend Your account(s) as well.

AnchorFree may also suspend the Services immediately for cause if: (a) You violate (or give us
reason to believe You have violated) the AnchorFree’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy; (b)
there is reason to believe the traffic created from Your use of our Services or Your use of the
Services is fraudulent or negatively impacting the operating capability of our Services; (c)
AnchorFree determines, in AnchorFree’s sole discretion, that providing the Services is
prohibited by law, or it has become impractical or unfeasible for any legal or regulatory reason to
provide the Services; or (d) subject to applicable law, upon Your liquidation, commencement of
dissolution proceedings, disposal of Your assets or change of control, a failure to continue
business, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if You become the subject of a bankruptcy or
similar proceeding. If AnchorFree suspends the Services to Your account, AnchorFree will make
a reasonable attempt to notify You.

1.7 When this Agreement comes to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations, and liabilities
that You and AnchorFree have benefited from, been subject to, or which are expressed to
continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of paragraph 16.10
shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations, and liabilities indefinitely.

2. Change of Services. AnchorFree may revise these Terms from time to time. If that
happens, those revised Terms will supersede prior versions. Unless AnchorFree indicates
otherwise, revisions will be effective upon the effective date indicated at the top of these Terms.
AnchorFree will provide You advance notice of any material revisions. This notice will be
provided via the account portal and/or via an email to the email address AnchorFree has on file.
For other revisions, we will update the effective date of these Terms at the top of the page. Your
continued access or use of our Services constitutes your acceptance of any revisions. If You do
not agree to the revisions, You should stop using AnchorFree’s Services and AnchorFree is then
not obligated to provide You with the Services.
