Evo Affiliate Program Agreement

Last Updated: April 29, 2025

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

This Evo Affiliate Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between B.C.A.A. Holdings Ltd. (“BCAA”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and you (“you” or “your”), the applicant identified in the application to participate in the Evo Affiliate Program (the “Application”).

This Agreement governs your participation in the Evo Affiliate Program. By submitting an Application, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You also confirm that the information provided in your Application is complete and accurate and that you meet the eligibility criteria outlined in this Agreement.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Glossary at the end of this Agreement.

Evo Affiliate Program

The Evo Affiliate Program allows you the opportunity to promote the Evo Car-Sharing Program and receive compensation for referring Potential Evo Members.

Becoming an Affiliate

To become an Affiliate, you must (i) submit an Application, which is available online at https://evo.ca/affiliate-program, and (ii) meet the eligibility requirements outlined in this Agreement, and (iii) receive written approval of your admission as an Affiliate from BCAA. Your admission as an Affiliate, and all of our obligations to you arising out of this Agreement, are expressly subject to the delivery of written confirmation of our approval of your Application, which we may withhold in our sole discretion. You understand that meeting the eligibility requirements does not guarantee automatic admission as an Affiliate. .

Your Affiliate Code

Once admitted as an Affiliate, we will provide you with a unique promotional code (the “Affiliate Code”). Your Affiliate Code allows us to track the source of each referral of Potential Evo Members, among other things.

Your Affiliate Code will be valid for use until September 30, 2025 or such later date as may be determined by BCAA, in its sole discretion and communicated in writing (the “Promotion Period”). BCAA reserves the right to extend, shorten or otherwise modify the Promotion Period at its sole discretion.

Referring Potential Evo Members

You are encouraged to share your Affiliate Code with Potential Evo Members. If during the Promotion Period a Potential Evo Member (i) submits an application to become an Evo Member through the process outlined in the Evo Member Agreement with your Affiliate Code noted in the ‘Promo Code’ field on the Promos & Savings page of the application, and (ii) the Potential Evo Member becomes an Evo Member pursuant to that application (a “Valid Referral”), then their one-time registration fee will be waived and they will receive 60 free Evo driving minutes, and you will be entitled to receive the Compensation outlined in this Agreement.

Eligibility

You must be at least 19 years of age to become and remain an Affiliate.

BCAA reserves the right to change the eligibility criteria to participate in the Evo Affiliate Program, any part of the Evo Affiliate Program, or this Agreement at any time without notice to you.

Restrictions

As an Affiliate, you must not:

• make any disparaging, defamatory or negative statements or comments regarding the Evo Car-Sharing Program, the Evo Affiliate Program or any of the BCAA Parties;
• engage in any conduct which, in the opinion of BCAA acting in its sole discretion, could damage the reputation of the Evo Car-Sharing Program, the Evo Affiliate Program or any of the BCAA Parties;
• promote any activity that would violate the Evo Member Agreement;
• with respect to Affiliates who are already employed by BCAA, engage in any conduct under this Agreement (including, though not limited to, promoting the Evo Car-Sharing Program or sharing your Affiliate Code with Potential Evo Members) when using BCAA equipment or during your regular working hours or while otherwise working in your capacity as an employee of BCAA; 
• with respect to Affiliates who are already employed by BCAA, imply or represent that your participation in the Evo Affiliate Program is part of or related to your employment in any manner whatsoever (including by expressing or implying that we encourage, support, sponsor or endorse such participation as part of your employment responsibilities); 
• with respect to Affiliates that are not employed by BCAA, hold yourself out as an employee or agent of BCAA or otherwise imply that you are vested with any authority to act on behalf of BCAA or to bind BCAA under contract, or misrepresent or embellish our relationship with you (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor or endorse you) or express or imply any affiliation between us or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement;
• imply that anyone other than you is the sender of any marketing communications related to the promotion of the Evo Car-Sharing Program; or
• engage in any marketing or promotional activities that violate any applicable marketing or communication laws, rules or regulations, including, but not limited to, Canada’s Anti-Spam Law (S.C. 2010, c. 23) or similar laws in applicable jurisdictions.

Compensation for Valid Referrals

In consideration of your obligations incurred under this Agreement, including your performance as an Affiliate, you will earn $10.00 for each Valid Referral (the “Compensation”). For greater certainty, Compensation will only be paid for Valid Referrals. You will not be entitled to receive Compensation if the Potential Evo Member submits an application to become an Evo Member with your Affiliate Code but does not become an Evo Member during the Promotion Period pursuant to that application. For example, if a Potential Evo Member submits an application to become an Evo Member with your Affiliate Code within the Promotion Period but does not become an Evo Member until after the end of the Promotion Period, or becomes an Evo Member pursuant to a different application, then they will not be considered a Valid Referral and therefore will not be included when calculating your Compensation.

Compensation will accrue for each Valid Referral and will be paid to you on the last business day of each month. The monthly payment will cover all Compensation earned (if any) from the 16^th day of the previous month to the 15^th day of the current month. For example, on April 30, 2025, you will be paid for the Compensation earned for Valid Referrals made between April 8, 2025 (the start date of the Evo Affiliate Program) and April 15, 2025. On May 30, 2025, you will be paid for the Compensation earned for Valid Referrals made between April 16, 2025 and May 15, 2025.

Compensation will be paid to you via your choice of either a retail gift card or prepaid credit, delivered to you via email either by BCAA or by a third party on behalf of BCAA. BCAA may at any time and without notice, acting in its sole discretion, change the method of payment for the Compensation (e.g., Visa gift cards, cash, Evo Car-Sharing Program gift cards, etc.) and/or the method of delivery (e.g., via email, mail, etc.).

BCAA does not make any representation, warrant or covenant to you or any other Affiliate regarding the amount of Compensation, if any, that you may earn hereunder or guarantee any minimum amount of Compensation at any time.

You will bear your own costs and expenses related to your participation as an Affiliate. BCAA is not obligated to reimburse or credit you or any other Affiliate for any costs or expenses.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The warranties (if any) set forth in the Evo Member Agreement are the only warranties provided by BCAA to Evo Members regarding the Evo Car-Sharing Program and BCAA hereby disclaims any and all other warranties, express or implied, with respect to the Evo-Car Sharing Program and with respect to the Evo Affiliate Program.

Liability and Indemnity

In addition to any other limitation listed elsewhere in this Agreement, we will not be liable to you or any other person, to the maximum extent permitted by law, for:

• any loss, injury, or damage directly or indirectly arising from or in any way related to this Agreement, your participation in the Evo Affiliate Program, or the Evo Affiliate Program, including loss of profit or revenue, financial loss, loss of business opportunities, breach of privacy or security, property damage, personal injury, or any other foreseeable or unforeseeable loss, no matter how it was caused, even if we were negligent or were advised of the possibility of such damages;
• any error or omission in the operation or management of any part of the Evo Affiliate Program;
• any lost, stolen, damaged, or expired identifiers, Affiliate Codes, or compensation for Valid Referrals paid to you; or
• the denial, restriction, suspension, disruption or inaccessibility of your participation in any part of the Evo Affiliate Program.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the BCAA Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, awards, costs and expenses (including reasonably legal fees and disbursements) arising out of or related to your negligence, misconduct, breach of this Agreement, or breach of applicable laws.

Amendments

This Agreement is subject to change without notice to you, and all such changes will be effective upon posting to our website at https://evo.ca/affiliatetc, as of the date indicated at the top of this Agreement. By continuing to participate in the Evo Affiliate Program after such date you will be deemed to have accepted any such changes.

BCAA can terminate the Evo Affiliate Program at any time, with no further obligations to you.

Removal from the Evo Affiliate Program

Removal by BCAA

BCAA can terminate this Agreement and remove you from the Evo Affiliate Program and revoke your status as an Affiliate at any time, at BCAA’s sole discretion, immediately and without notice or explanation to you.

For clarity, any reference to the “Services” includes a reference to any part or aspect of the Services. 

Unless otherwise provided in an applicable Privacy Notice, this Policy references the BCAA Terms of Service and forms an integral part thereof. In the event of a conflict between the BCAA Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service will prevail.

4. Disclosure of Your Personal Information  

We will not share your personal information with any third party, except as indicated in this Policy (or an applicable Privacy Notice) or as authorized or required by law. 

We may disclose your personal information for the purposes as described in this Policy (and any applicable Privacy Notices) in the following ways:  

• To our employees, contractors and agents on an as-needed basis; 

• To our affiliates and business partners; 

• To our Service Providers (as discussed above);

Our Service Providers, may be located outside of Canada, and you acknowledge that personal information may be processed and stored in foreign jurisdictions with different (and perhaps weaker) privacy laws, and that the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies in those jurisdictions may be able to obtain disclosure of that personal information through the laws of the foreign jurisdiction. 

5. Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Information  

We will process your personal information only with your knowledge and consent, except where exempted, authorized or required by applicable laws. The form of consent may vary depending on the circumstances and the type of information being requested. Your consent may be express, with clear options to say “yes” or “no” (such as by being asked to check a box to indicate your consent), or implied (such as when you provide us with your address through a form or email seeking information and we use those means to respond to your request). Your consent can also be provided by your authorized representative. Taking into account the sensitivity of your personal information, purposes of collection, and your reasonable expectations, we will obtain the form of consent that is appropriate to the personal information being processed.  

When we process your personal information for a new purpose, we will document that new purpose and ask for your consent again. 

You may refuse to provide consent or may notify us at any time that you wish to withdraw or change your consent to the processing of your personal information without penalty, subject to legal, contractual or other restrictions and reasonable notice, by opting out of the use of your personal information by contacting our Chief Privacy Officer (see Section 11 below). However, if you withdraw or change your consent, we may not be able to provide you with the Services. 

Aside from consent, we may also process your personal information under other legal bases, as permitted by applicable laws.  

6. Security of Personal Information  

The security of your personal information is important to us. We protect the personal information in our custody or under our control using reasonable physical, technological and organizational safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, destruction or similar risks. 

We will take reasonable measures, through contractual or other reasonable means, to ensure that our Service Providers implement a comparable level of protection. Each of our employees is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all personal information to which they have access. We keep our employees informed about our policies and procedures for protecting personal information. 

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. As such, despite our safeguards and protocols, we cannot fully guarantee the security of your personal information and you should always exercise caution when disclosing personal information over the Internet. 

7. Privacy Rights and Choices 

Accessing Your Personal Information 

You have a right to access your personal information that we hold.  

Upon your written request, we will provide you your personal information in our possession or under our control. We will also provide your information about the ways in which that information is being used and a description of the individuals or organizations to whom that information has been disclosed. We may charge you a reasonable fee for doing so. 

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who does not have a right to receive it. 

Access may be declined where authorized or required by applicable law. If access cannot be provided, we will notify the individual making the request within 30 days, in writing, of the reasons for the refusal. 

We will make our policies and practices relating to the management of your personal information readily available to you. 

Correcting Your Personal Information 

We will make a reasonable effort to ensure that personal information we are using or disclosing is accurate, complete and up-to-date and reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. 

If you demonstrate the inaccuracy or incompleteness of personal information, we will amend the information as required. If appropriate, we will send the amended information to third parties to whom the information has been disclosed. 

If a challenge regarding the accuracy of personal information is not resolved to your satisfaction, we will annotate the personal information in our possession or under our control with a note that the correction was requested but not made. 

8. Retention of Your Personal Information 

We will delete, destroy, erase, aggregate or make anonymous documents or other records containing personal information as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the original purpose is no longer being served by retention of the information and retention is no longer required for a legal or business purpose. 

We will keep personal information used to make a decision affecting you for at least one year after using it to make the decision. 

9. CASL Policy 

We are committed to compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”). Any electronic ‎communication we send to outside parties is protected by a range of business procedures, processes ‎and policies to ensure that such communication is done in compliance with CASL. In our electronic ‎communications with outside parties, we comply with the rules established by CASL and enforced by ‎various Canadian authorities including the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications ‎Commission. CASL regulates, and our policies generally apply to, each commercial electronic message ‎‎(a “CEM”) that we send. A CEM is an electronic message sent to an electronic address that, among its ‎purposes, encourages participation in a commercial activity.‎ 

In addition to adopting and updating this Policy, we undertake various transparency initiatives to ensure ‎we comply with CASL, which include:‎ 

• Consent.  We do not send you CEMs without your consent. This consent typically must be “express” ‎‎(i.e. expressly acknowledged by you), but in certain circumstances can be “implied”. In other ‎limited circumstances, consent is not required. We have modified or adopted our sign-up, ‎registration and consent forms in order to ensure that your consent is meaningful (i.e. informed ‎and freely given) as required by CASL. When we collect your electronic contact information, you ‎will know the exact purposes behind the collection.‎ 

• Content.  We have adopted processes to ensure that our CEMs contain the following requirements ‎prescribed under CASL, which will usually be in the footer of the CEM. We will:‎ 

• identify ourselves as the party sending the CEM, and whether we are sending the message ‎on our own behalf or on behalf of someone else; 

• provide you with our contact information; and 

• set out a clear, working unsubscribe mechanism or preference centre that is easy to use, ‎automatic, and at no cost to you (other than your own cost of connecting to the Internet).‎ 

• Clarity.  We ensure that each aspect of a CEM (including its header, content, or any links or URLs in ‎the CEM) conveys the appropriate information, whether viewed individually or taken as a whole, ‎so that you always know what you are clicking on.‎ 

If you receive a CEM from us but believe that you should not have or no longer wish to receive CEMs, ‎we will aim to respect your preferences in a timely manner once you update them through our ‎unsubscribe mechanism. CASL requires us to process unsubscribe requests within 10 business days. If ‎you have any questions or concerns about our unsubscribe mechanisms, you may contact using the ‎contact information provided in Section 11 below.‎
