This Endorsed Educator Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between My Sugar Shop, operating as The Sugar Shop / SugarSMAC Education (the “Company”), and the individual or business purchasing or enrolling in the CONNECT Educator Plan (the “Educator”).

The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms under which the Educator may participate in the SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator Program and, following successful validation and approval, represent themselves as a SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator and provide approved SugarSMAC® Foundations education.

1. THE ENDORSED EDUCATOR PROGRAM

The SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator Program supports qualified sugaring professionals who independently provide hands-on education while using SugarSMAC Education's approved curriculum, learning resources and training system.

Participation does not make the Educator an employee, agent, franchisee, partner or legal representative of the Company.

The Educator operates an independent business and remains responsible for their own business operations and education services.

2. APPROVAL AND VALIDATION

Enrollment in the CONNECT Plan does not automatically grant SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator status.

Before publicly representing themselves as a SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator or delivering approved SugarSMAC® Foundations training, the Educator must successfully complete all onboarding and validation requirements established by the Company.

These may include:

• Completion or review of the current SugarSMAC® Foundations Course
• Submission of requested professional credentials
• Demonstration of practical sugaring technique
• Participation in a validation session
• Demonstration of appropriate teaching ability and professional conduct
• Completion of corrective or developmental work reasonably requested by the Company

The Company retains sole discretion to determine whether the Educator meets its standards for endorsement.

If validation is not approved, the Educator may cancel their membership in accordance with applicable subscription terms or continue their subscription while working toward approval with feedback from the Company.

The Educator may not advertise, promote or represent themselves as a SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator until official approval has been granted.

3. FOUNDATIONS COURSE ACCESS AND SETUP FEE

A one-time setup fee of $299 CAD applies unless waived by the Company.

The fee includes access to the SugarSMAC® Foundations Course so the Educator can review the curriculum their students will be learning and remain current with SugarSMAC® methods, terminology and standards.

The fee may be waived for Educators who have already completed the applicable SugarSMAC® Foundations Course.

The Educator should contact the Company before applying if they believe the setup fee should be waived.

Payment of the setup fee does not guarantee validation or endorsement.

4. SCOPE OF ENDORSEMENT

Following successful validation and approval, the Educator receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable authorization to:

• Identify themselves as a SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator while in good standing
• Provide approved hands-on SugarSMAC® Foundations education
• Use approved SugarSMAC® educator resources for their intended educational purposes
• Direct eligible students through the SugarSMAC Education learning system
• Use Company-provided Endorsed Educator logos, badges and approved marketing assets
• Access other CONNECT Plan benefits made available by the Company

Authorization applies only to the Educator approved under this Agreement.

Endorsement may not be transferred, sublicensed or extended to employees, contractors, business partners, other educators or other individuals without written approval from the Company.

Being endorsed as an Educator does not constitute endorsement of every course, service, technique, product recommendation or other offering provided by the Educator.

5. FOUNDATIONS STUDENT TRAINING

The Educator agrees to follow the current SugarSMAC® Foundations training and certification process.

Where applicable, this may include:

1. The student purchasing the designated Professional Foundations Kit or required course access

2. Enrollment in the applicable SugarSMAC Education online learning program

3. Completion of required theory, learning units and examinations

4. Hands-on instruction and/or practical evaluation by the Educator

5. Accurate reporting of assessment and completion information by the Educator

6. Issuance of official certification after all applicable requirements have been satisfied

The Educator may not independently issue, reproduce, duplicate, modify or alter official SugarSMAC® certificates unless specifically authorized by the Company.

The Company may reasonably update curriculum, student requirements, assessments, kits, administrative processes and certification standards from time to time.

6. EDUCATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

The Educator agrees to:

• Maintain appropriate professional competency and practical sugaring skills
• Follow current SugarSMAC® methods and standards when providing SugarSMAC® Foundations education
• Provide students with accurate information
• Maintain a safe, sanitary and professional training environment
• Follow appropriate infection prevention, sanitation and workplace safety practices
• Comply with laws, regulations, licensing requirements and professional requirements applicable in the jurisdiction where training occurs
• Obtain and maintain appropriate business licences, insurance, waivers, permissions and consents
• Maintain appropriate student and training records
• Accurately represent their qualifications and endorsement status
• Assess student competency honestly and professionally
• Protect student and model safety and privacy
• Promptly disclose serious complaints, incidents or circumstances that could reasonably affect their endorsement or the reputation of the SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator Program

USE OF SUGARSMAC® PRODUCTS IN ENDORSED TRAINING

When delivering SugarSMAC® Foundations training or any other education represented as approved, endorsed or provided in association with SugarSMAC®, the Educator agrees to use SugarSMAC® sugaring products and applicable SugarSMAC® pre- and post-care products throughout the training.

The Educator may not promote, sell, distribute or actively market competing sugaring products or competing professional sugaring brands during SugarSMAC®-endorsed training, including through course materials, demonstrations or student kits.

The Company recognizes that Educators operate independent businesses and may choose to use, carry, recommend or sell other professional brands outside of SugarSMAC®-endorsed education. These restrictions apply specifically when the Educator is teaching or representing SugarSMAC® education.

Compliance with these product and training standards is a condition of maintaining SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator status.

7. INDEPENDENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

The Educator is an independent business operator.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the Educator remains solely responsible for:

• Business expenses
• Training facilities and equipment
• Scheduling
• Employees and contractors
• Taxes and remittances
• Licences and permits
• Insurance
• Student communications
• Fees collected independently by the Educator
• Refunds and cancellations relating to services sold independently by the Educator
• Models
• Workplace and student safety
• Claims relating to services delivered by the Educator

Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise or agency relationship between the Educator and the Company.

The Educator has no authority to enter into contracts, incur expenses, make commitments, offer guarantees or assume obligations on behalf of the Company.

8. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

The Educator acknowledges that practical sugaring education and demonstrations involve direct interaction with students and/or models and may involve risks including skin reactions, injury and other adverse outcomes.

The Educator assumes responsibility for the hands-on education and services personally provided by them.

The Educator is required to maintain insurance reasonably appropriate to their activities, including professional liability and/or commercial general liability coverage where applicable.

Evidence of insurance must be supplied to the Company upon request.

The Company may establish reasonable minimum insurance requirements as a condition of continued endorsement.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Educator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, SugarSMAC®, and their respective owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors and representatives from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses and reasonable legal costs arising from or relating to:

• Education or services delivered by the Educator
• Injury or damage occurring at premises or events operated or controlled by the Educator
• Acts or omissions of the Educator's employees or contractors
• Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or professional requirements
• Independent promises, guarantees or representations made by the Educator
• Negligence or misconduct by the Educator
• Breach of this Agreement
• Unauthorized use of SugarSMAC® intellectual property, branding or educational materials

Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

10. SUGARSMAC® INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All SugarSMAC® course materials, manuals, videos, photography, diagrams, worksheets, presentations, assessments, written materials, templates, logos, graphics, branding and proprietary educational resources supplied by the Company remain the property of the Company and/or their respective rights holders.

The Educator receives only the limited permission necessary to use approved materials for authorized participation in the SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator Program.

Without written permission, the Educator may not:

• Reproduce materials for unauthorized distribution

11. USE OF SUGARSMAC® BRANDING

While active, approved and in good standing, the Educator may use approved SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator branding in accordance with current brand guidelines.

The Educator must not imply that:

• They are an employee or owner of the Company or SugarSMAC®
• Their independent business is owned or operated by SugarSMAC®
• SugarSMAC® supervises every service or course they provide
• SugarSMAC® guarantees their business, education or student outcomes
• An independently developed course or service is an official SugarSMAC® offering unless specifically approved by the Company

The Company may require misleading, outdated, inappropriate or unauthorized branding or marketing to be modified or removed.

12. INDEPENDENT EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS

The Educator remains free to operate their own independent educational offerings, subject to the intellectual property, confidentiality and branding provisions of this Agreement.

Independent courses may not be marketed or represented as:

• SugarSMAC® courses
• SugarSMAC® certifications
• SugarSMAC® approved courses
• SugarSMAC® endorsed courses
• Official SugarSMAC Education offerings

unless written approval has been provided by the Company for the specific course or offering.

Personal endorsement as a SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator does not constitute SugarSMAC® endorsement of the Educator's independently developed courses.

13. QUALITY CONTROL AND CONTINUING STANDARDS

SugarSMAC® endorsement represents an ongoing professional standard rather than permanent accreditation.

The Company may periodically require reasonable quality-control measures including:

• Updated credentials
• Curriculum or methodology updates
• Refresher education
• Technique review
• Student feedback
• Revalidation
• Other reasonable professional-development requirements

The Company may investigate credible complaints relating to an Endorsed Educator.

The Educator agrees to reasonably cooperate with such an investigation.

14. STUDENT ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION

Students must be assessed honestly and professionally.

Payment for training does not guarantee certification.

Where practical competency is required, the Educator must only recommend a student for certification when the Educator reasonably believes the applicable standard has been demonstrated.

The Company retains final authority over certificates and credentials issued under the SugarSMAC® Education name.

The Company does not guarantee employment, income, business success, licensing eligibility or other professional outcomes as a result of completing SugarSMAC® education.

The Educator must not make such guarantees on behalf of the Company.

15. CONFIDENTIALITY

The Educator may receive non-public information including educator resources, internal procedures, pricing structures, future program plans, training resources and proprietary business information.

The Educator agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information and use it only for authorized program purposes.

Confidential information may not be disclosed to third parties without authorization except where disclosure is required by law.

This obligation survives termination of the Agreement.

16. MEMBERSHIP FEES AND BENEFITS

The Educator is responsible for the membership fees applicable to the CONNECT Plan as displayed or agreed to at the time of enrollment.

Membership provides access to the benefits associated with the Educator's active plan.

Program features, resources and systems may evolve over time. The Company may reasonably update program benefits, procedures and standards and will communicate material changes affecting active Educators.

17. NO GUARANTEE OF OPPORTUNITIES OR REVENUE

Participation in the CONNECT Plan does not guarantee:

• A minimum number of students
• Student referrals
• Leads
• Bookings
• Revenue
• Business growth
• Speaking or teaching opportunities
• Any other specific commercial result

Opportunities may depend on factors including demand, geography, student needs, Educator performance, availability and Company strategy.

18. TERMINATION BY THE EDUCATOR

The Educator may cancel their CONNECT membership in accordance with the cancellation terms applicable to their subscription.

Once membership and endorsement end, the Educator must:

• Stop representing themselves as a current SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator
• Remove Endorsed Educator badges and restricted SugarSMAC® branding from websites, social media and marketing
• Stop using educator-only resources
• Return or permanently delete confidential or restricted materials if requested by the Company

Previously issued legitimate student certifications remain valid following termination.

19. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY

The Company may suspend or terminate endorsement where it reasonably believes the Educator:

• No longer meets program standards
• Materially breaches this Agreement
• Fails to comply with SugarSMAC® product-use requirements or promotes, sells or distributes competing sugaring products during SugarSMAC®-endorsed training

• Engages in unlawful, fraudulent or seriously unprofessional conduct relevant to their educator role

• Engages in conduct reasonably likely to materially harm students, the Company or the SugarSMAC® brand

Where appropriate, the Company may provide an opportunity for remediation.

Immediate suspension may occur where reasonably necessary to protect students, the public, the Company or the SugarSMAC® brand.

20. LIMITATION OF COMPANY RESPONSIBILITY

Endorsement reflects the Company's assessment that the Educator has met applicable SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator standards.

Endorsement does not constitute continuous supervision of the Educator's independent business, courses or services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company is not responsible for the Educator's independent business operations, acts or omissions, facilities, employees, contractors, representations, financial performance, student disputes or services delivered outside the Company's direct control.

21. SURVIVAL

Provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, indemnification, outstanding payment obligations and limitations of liability that by their nature should continue will survive termination of this Agreement.

22. CHANGES TO PROGRAM STANDARDS

The Company may update reasonable operational, curriculum, branding, certification and quality standards for the SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator Program from time to time.

Material changes to the contractual relationship itself will be communicated and handled in accordance with applicable law.

23. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Manitoba and applicable federal laws of Canada.

The parties agree that disputes relating to this Agreement will be subject to the courts of Manitoba unless another dispute-resolution process is mutually agreed upon.

24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement, together with any incorporated policies, plan terms or other documents expressly referenced herein, constitutes the agreement concerning the Educator's participation in the SugarSMAC® Endorsed Educator CONNECT Plan.

If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
