storefront through the Program and promoting LANDS’ END’s products to
their social media followers.

the LANDS’ END
Privacy Policy . Note that your Program account will be operated by LoudCrowd, and all
payments to you will be made via Tremendous. By applying to participate
in the LANDS’ END CREATOR COMMUNITY and, if accepted into the Program,
setting up your storefront, you also agree to the LoudCrowd Terms and
Privacy Policy, and the Tremendous Terms and Privacy Policy .
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible to participate in the Program, you must be a legal
resident of the United Kingdom (“Territory”) and at least eighteen (18)
years old, and have a genuine following on a single social media account
(“Social Account”) on either Instagram or TikTok that meets any

from time to time in its sole discretion.
Potential Participants will be evaluated for admission to the Program
based on the above criteria as well as the alignment of the content of
their Social Account to the LANDS’ END brand aesthetic and other
criteria which will be determined in LANDS’ END’s sole discretion,
LANDS’ END’s evaluation of any application is in its sole and final
discretion.
Corporate entities are not eligible and have no right to claim any
Incentive earned by their employees. Employees, officers, directors,
agents, and representatives of LANDS’ END, its advertising and promotion
agencies, and any other entities participating in the design, promotion,
marketing, administration, or fulfillment of this Program, as well as
each of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliated
companies (collectively, the “Released Parties”). This Program is open
only to residents of the United Kingdom and is void elsewhere and where
prohibited by law.
HOW TO APPLY FOR THE PROGRAM
To apply for the Program, potential Participants must visit the Program
application page designated by LANDS’ END and fill out an application
with all required information. If you are approved to join the Program,
you will receive information on how to create your LANDS’ END CREATOR
COMMUNITY account and the personalized LANDS’ END product listing page
at www.landsend.co.uk created by Participant after acceptance into the
Program (“Storefront”).
By applying to participate in the Program, you agree to receive emails
from LANDS’ END including but not limited to Program-related
communications, at the email address registered with the Program.
EARNING INCENTIVES; PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
Participants have the opportunity to earn Incentives through the
Program, including commissions on qualifying purchases. Current
Incentives and Program details are set forth on Exhibit B. In addition,
LANDS’ END may choose to offer bonus Incentives at any time in its sole
discretion, and any bonus Incentives will be subject to the terms set
forth at the time they are offered. Some bonus Incentives may not be
open to all Participants. Activities that occurred prior to your
enrollment in the Program do not qualify for this Program and will not
earn you Incentives.
Commission Calculation. In order to be eligible for a
commission, a third party must shop with www.landsend.co.uk through your
Storefront and purchase Eligible Merchandise (as defined in Exhibit B)
within 30 days of their visit to your Storefront without having visited
another Participant’s Storefront in the interim. You are not eligible to
earn commissions on your own purchases. The commission paid will be the
rate(s) applicable on the Earning Date multiplied by the Net Sales. “Net
Sales” means the amount actually received by LANDS’ END from Eligible
Merchandise after all discounts are applied, less returns, taxes or
other applicable governmental fees, shipping, handling, delivery
surcharges, processing charges. To the extent the Program offers
differing commission rates for differing categories of Products, the
commission will be calculated by applying the applicable rate to the
relevant category of Eligible Merchandise.
If you or we have terminated or suspended your participation in the
Program prior to the Earning Date, no commission will be earned, even if
the purchase of otherwise commission-eligible merchandise occurred prior
to the termination or suspension effective date.
Commission Revocation and Clawback. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in these Terms, LANDS’ END reserves the right,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to withhold, reduce, reverse,
revoke, or recover any commission or other Incentive, whether or not it
has already been earned, credited, or paid, where LANDS’ END determines
that the underlying sale or activity (i) resulted from the unauthorized
distribution, sharing, or publication of any discount, promotional, or
referral code, including the posting of any such code to coupon, deal,
or other third-party websites; (ii) was generated, in whole or in part,
through paid advertising, search engine marketing, bidding on LANDS’ END
or LANDS’ END-related trademarks or keywords, or any other paid
placement not expressly authorized by LANDS’ END in writing; (iii)
involved self-purchases or fraudulent, fake, incentivized, or otherwise
non-bona fide transactions, or orders that are later cancelled,
returned, refunded, charged back, or unpaid; or (iv) otherwise violated
these Terms, the Requirements, or applicable law. If any such commission
or Incentive has already been paid, Participant agrees to repay it
promptly upon LANDS’ END’s request, and LANDS’ END may offset the amount
against any future Incentives otherwise payable to Participant. Any
determination by LANDS’ END under this paragraph is final and binding.
Other Incentives. For any other Incentives, they will
be earned as set forth in Exhibit B or in the terms applicable to any
bonus Incentive.
Earning Date. Incentives are earned once they are
confirmed by LANDS’ END, or in the case of commissions, on the day
following the close of the then-applicable return period (in each case,
the “Earning Date”). For instance, if LANDS’ END offers a five (5)
post/month bonus Incentive, and you compliantly post five (5) times
during April, LANDS’ END will confirm in May that the goal was reached,
and as set forth below, you will be paid on the first business day of
June.
Payments. Payments are made on the first business day
of each month for all Incentives earned in the prior month. All payments
to Participants will be made via Tremendous. You will receive a link via
email from Tremendous, through which link you will direct Tremendous as
to how to disburse your payment. LANDS’ END has no responsibility or
liability for payments that Participant is unable to access at
Tremendous or if Participant’s Tremendous payment retrieval link is
accessed without your authorization and the sums directed in an
unauthorized manner. Delivery of payment by LANDS’ END to LoudCrowd or
Tremendous fully satisfies LANDS’ END’s payment obligations hereunder,
and you fully and finally waive any ability to seek compensation
directly from LANDS’ END.
Tremendous may limit how long you have to retrieve your payment. Please
consult Tremendous’ terms or contact Tremendous if you have questions
regarding this topic.

contest such disclosure.
PROGRAM/TERMS MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION; SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF
PARTICIPATION OR INCENTIVES
LANDS’ END reserves the right to modify or terminate these Terms, the
Program, or any element or feature thereof, at any time, for any reason.
We will notify you of material changes to the Terms or the Program by
email to the address then associated with your LANDS’ END CREATOR
COMMUNITY account or by other means as may be permitted or required by
applicable law. The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of
posting, or upon such later date or by such other method as specified by
LANDS’ END. The updated Terms will apply to your participation in the
Program beginning as of their effective date. In the event of Program
termination, LANDS’ END will not pay out with respect to Incentives that
are not earned prior to the effective date of termination.
Participants who no longer meet the requirements of membership in the
Program will be automatically demoted to the tier for which they
qualify. In addition, LANDS’ END may suspend, demote to a lower tier of
the Program, or terminate any Participant who is deemed inactive for
three (3) or more consecutive months. For purposes of this paragraph,
“inactive” means that no qualified sales have occurred in that month.
LANDS’ END will provide a Participant with thirty (30) days’ notice of
termination for inactivity, during which period Participant may cure the
inactivity and avoid termination. If you believe that your will be
unable to cure within thirty (30) days, but wish to remain a Participant

below to request an extension. All extension requests should provide an
explanation, and all extension determinations will be at LANDS’ END’s
sole and final discretion.
LANDS’ END also reserves the right to suspend or terminate, at its sole
and absolute discretion, your participation in the Program and/or
withhold any Incentive otherwise payable to you, with or without notice
to you or the opportunity to cure, if LANDS’ END believes that you have
violated or acted inconsistently with these Terms or applicable law or
acted in a manner harmful to LANDS’ END’s interests. Abuse or violations
that may result in suspension or termination include, but are not
limited to: (i) using fraudulent means to participate in the Program,
including but not limited to using bots or artificial intelligence in
the performance of Program-related activities or purchasing followers;
(ii) failure to follow these Terms and any other terms and conditions
applicable to Program participation; (iii) making a misrepresentation to
LANDS’ END in connection with your participation in the Program; and
(iv) if Participant commits, or has committed, any act which, as
determined by LANDS’ END in its sole discretion, brings LANDS’ END or
Participant into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule, or
which insults or offends the general community, or which might tend to
harm LANDS’ END or any of its products or services including, without
limitation, disparaging LANDS’ END, its products or services, or
competitors. In addition, LANDS’ END reserves the right to take
administrative or legal action against you, including seeking criminal
prosecution, in its sole discretion.
You agree to abide by the final and binding decisions of LANDS’ END
regarding the Program and your participation in it. LANDS’ END shall be
the sole arbiter in cases of suspected abuse, fraud, or violation of
these Terms and any decision it makes relating to termination,
suspension, or disabling of the Program or a Participant’s
participation, or to withhold Incentives as set forth herein, shall be
final and binding.
Should a Participant object to any of these Terms, or any subsequent
modifications thereto, or become dissatisfied with the Program,
Participant’s only recourse is to immediately discontinue participation
in the Program.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

expressly agree that participation in the Program is at the
Participant’s sole risk. Participants further agree that the LANDS’ END

Participant hereby waives any and all of the above claims against the
LANDS’ END Parties and their respective agents, representatives or
licensors (the “Released Parties”) arising out of, or in connection
with, their participation in the Program.

malfunctions; errors in these Terms or in any Program-related materials;
human-processing error; failures of electronic equipment, computer
hardware or software; damage to your equipment, computer hardware or

MISREPRESENTATION; OR (C) ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR
LIMITED UNDER THE LAWS OF ENGLAND AND WALES. THIS SECTION DOES NOT

warranties, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of

EXHIBIT A — Influencer Guidelines
LANDS’ END (“Brand”) requires that influencers, bloggers and any other
individuals or entities Brand works with or who choose of their own
volition to disseminate endorsements of Brand or its products or
services (“you” or “lnfluencer(s)”) agree to and follow the Influencer
Guidelines set out below (collectively, “Influencer Guidelines”).
These Influencer Guidelines apply where you publish a post, tweet,
video, photo, or other message that promotes or references Brand or its
products or services AND you have received payment or something else of
value from Brand or have another material connection to Brand (e.g., you
work for Brand or a Brand vendor). A “material connection” is any
connection between you and Brand that might affect how much weight or
credibility your audience gives to your endorsement and that your
audience would not reasonably expect, as described in the Advertising
Standards Authority (“ASA”) and Competition and Markets Authority
(“CMA”) guidance on social media endorsements. Important examples of
“material connections” include consideration (i.e., benefits or
incentives such as monetary compensation, loaner products, free products
or services, in-kind gifts, or special access privileges) provided by a
marketer to an influencer.
Failure to follow these Influencer Guidelines may result in, among other
things, legal liability for you and others, termination of your
agreement or relationship with Brand, and forfeiture of any
consideration provided or to be provided to you.
1. Disclose your Connection to Brand
-
a. You must disclose your connection to Brand
clearly and conspicuously, which means that your disclosure must be
obviously visible, difficult to miss, and easily noticeable to
anyone who visits the applicable website, platform or service and
reads or sees your post or message. A consumer must not have to
scroll, click or mouse or search for the disclosure. Read more below
for some specific placement instructions for disclosures. Your
disclosure must also be easily understandable by ordinary consumers.
-
b. The disclosure must identify the nature of your
connection to Brand. For example, if you received an item for free
from or were paid by Brand and you post something about Brand, you
must say so. If you earn commissions for Brand purchases made
through links you post, say so. If you work for Brand or a Brand
partner, say so. If one or more of these connections are present,
you must disclose them all. For example, if you receive something
for free from Brand (including the receipt of any gift card, free
product or access to special events) and are also paid by or work
for or with Brand, you cannot only disclose that you received the
free item or event invitation. You must disclose both facts.
-
c. For short posts or compressed communications,
you must include a clear and prominent ad label such as #Ad,
#Advert, or #Advertisement at the beginning of these posts. These
labels cannot be abbreviated (#sp or #spon are NOT sufficient) and
they must also be separate from other hashtags.
-
d. For Facebook, TikTok and Instagram posts where
there is more space available, you can either use the aforementioned
disclosures or be more conversational and use a disclosure like
“This post is paid for by LANDS’ END” or, if accurate, “Thanks for
the free t-shirt LANDS’ END.” (However, any disclosure on Facebook,
TikTok or Instagram must be at the beginning of your post so that it
visible to a reader without their having to click the “more” link.)
“Thanks LANDS’ END!” is too vague and not a sufficient disclosure.
-
e. Photos & Images
-
Posting a photo or image can be an endorsement even if there is no
accompanying text (e.g., posting a picture of you wearing Brand
clothing on Instagram).
-
If possible, include a disclosure on the image as you would for a
video (e.g., superimposing larger text over your video and making
the disclosure stand out using bold, italic, and/or different
color font). If not possible to include a disclosure on the image
itself, put the disclosure in a prominent place alongside it
(e.g., in the post).
-
If a post mentions or shows an image of the Brand in order to
drive traffic to an image posted elsewhere, put a disclosure both
in that post and in or around the photo itself.
-
If a post drives traffic to a photo or image without mentioning or
displaying Brand or a Brand product/service, the post does not
need a disclosure. But there must still be disclosure in or around
the photo or image itself once the user clicks through the link.
-
f. For videos, if the endorsement is made through
visual means, the disclosure should be made at least visually. If
the representation is made audibly, the disclosure should be made at
least audibly. And if the representation is made through both visual
and audible means, the disclosure should be made both visually and
audibly. You must include both a disclosure that is verbal and
visual at the beginning of the video in addition to the one at the
beginning of the description box. For longer videos (more than 3
minutes) or on-going streaming, leave the disclosure on screen
throughout or make periodic disclosures. For example, consider
showing a disclosure: (i) at the beginning and end; (ii) every 3 to
5 minutes; and (iii) whenever there is a direct call to action
telling viewers to buy Brand products. In determining whether the
disclosure is sufficient, factors to consider include: how much time
followers have to look at the frame, how much competing text there
is to read, how large the disclosure is, and how well it contrasts
against the frame.
-
g. For videos posted on Snapchat, Instagram
stories, or any platform where it is common for viewers to watch
videos without sound, use a visual on-screen disclosure at the
beginning of the video that is clear and prominent and stays
on-screen long enough to be read (e.g, by superimposing larger text
over your video). Make the disclosure stand out (e.g., bold, italic,
and/or different color font). Do not rely on only an audio
disclosure in such instances.
-
h. Do not rely on built-in disclosure functions
because they do not guarantee compliance. On platforms like
Instagram and YouTube (and any other platform that offers such a
feature) built-in disclosure features should be utilized in addition
to the disclosures described in these Influencer Guidelines. Use of
these built-in disclosure features is not alone sufficient.
-
i. In the event you are posting on one social media
platform and the post is syndicated to another social media
platform, disclosures must travel with the content and appear
clearly and conspicuously (e.g., pre-click) on all platforms.
Similarly, all disclosures must stay with content that can be shared
by other users on the same platform (e.g., disclosures must be in
both the pre-click description of a video as well as the video
itself).
-
j. For social media communications promoting a
sweepstakes, prize draw or contest:
-
If you are the organizer or sponsor, but Brand has provided you
with the prize or otherwise offered you some consideration for
sponsoring the promotion:
-
Consult with your Brand contact and confirm Brand’s prior
approval before posting any content.
-
Contest rules should be labeled as rules, not an
unidentifiable bit.ly link (e.g., “Enter for a chance to win.
ContestRules”).
-
The post must include abbreviated rules with the material
terms of the contest or prize draw (including: any free entry
route, start and end dates and times, eligibility
restrictions, material conditions on entry or prize use,
approximate value of the prize(s), that the promotion is
subject to full official rules and a link to the official
rules).
-
Your abbreviated and official rules must state that you – not
Brand – are the promoter of the promotion.
-
If you promote your prize draw or contest using videos, each
video must include your abbreviated rules (with a link to the
full official rules) within the video and within the
description box.
-
Your post must include a disclosure of your connection to
Brand as described elsewhere in these Influencer Guidelines.
-
In addition, if entrants must post to social media to enter,
you must require that entrants include a disclosure in their
post that makes it clear the post was made to enter a contest
or prize draw. You can require entrants include #Contest for a
contest or #PrizeDraw for a prize draw. You can also require a
short unique hashtag for your promotion that itself includes
the disclosure (e.g., #MyDisclosureContest), but make sure the
unique hashtag is short so that the word “contest” or “prize
draw” does not get lost among a long string of words. If
applicable, this requirement should be set out in your
abbreviated rules.
-
You must follow all applicable laws and social-media platform
guidelines, including the CAP Code rules on prize promotions.
You must also abide by your own official rules in
administering the contest or prize draw.
-
If you are promoting a contest or prize draw sponsored by Brand:
-
If your post describes how to enter the contest or prize draw
(e.g., “Post a photo of yourself and tag it with the
Brand-provided promotion hashtag”) or describes the prizing,
the post must include the Brand-provided abbreviated rules.
For video posts, the abbreviated rules must be included both
in the video itself and in the description box. (If you have
been asked to promote a Brand contest or prize draw and not
provided with abbreviated rules, please ask your contact at
Brand.)
-
You must include the Brand-provided unique hashtag for the
applicable promotion.
-
You must disclose your connection to Brand, as described
elsewhere in these Influencer Guidelines.
-
k. While Brand requires you agree to these
Influencer Guidelines, it is your responsibility to ensure that you
have clearly and conspicuously disclosed your relationship to the
product or service.
-
l. If you post your own views about a subject, you
should also state that your views do not necessarily represent those
of Brand. (You must also comply with Section 3 below.)
-
m. If you receive a Brand product for free and
review that product online, your review should disclose (prominently
and at the beginning of the review) that you received the item for
free.
2. Rules of the Road
-
Make statements in relation to products or services of Brand that
reflect only your honest opinion, findings, beliefs and experiences.
Do not making statements that you know (or should know) are not true.
-
Do not make deceptive or misleading claims about the products or
services of Brand or the products or services of a competitor of
Brand. Take care to avoid using text, graphics, programming, or any
action that misleads, deceives, or confuses consumers.
-
Do not misrepresent the source of anything in your posted content,
including impersonation of another individual or entity.
-
Do not offer for purchase, or solicit, products or services on behalf
of Brand. (Linking to your Storefront per the LANDS’ END CREATOR
COMMUNITY Terms & Conditions is ok.)
-
Do not use content that contains advertising for you or third parties
(e.g., money making schemes, discount cards, credit counseling, or
online surveys).
-
Do not use Artificial Intelligence or any post-production techniques
(e.g., filters, Photoshop) if the use of the technique could impact a
consumer’s understanding of how a product or service will work. For
example, if you promote a cosmetic product by posting a filtered photo
of yourself using the product, a consumer may think they can achieve
the same look if they use the product. Since the photo was altered,
however, this would likely not be the case.
-
When endorsing any Brand product or service, you must be a bona fide
user of that product or services at the time your endorsement is made.
-
Use only original material created by you or used with written
permission of the originator (and Brand may require a copy of the
written permission before posting).
- Do not libel, slander or defame any individual or entity.
-
Do not disseminate private facts about another or otherwise invade
their privacy in any way.
-
Do not reference or otherwise use celebrities in any way without prior
permission from Brand.
-
If any individuals are shown or referenced in your communications, you
must get signed releases for them. This applies to all photographs and
video whether taken by you or a third party.
-
In addition, if you use video or photographs taken by a third party,
you must get written permission to use the video or photography from
the person who took the photograph or video as well as the person or
persons shown in it.
-
Do not use music unless it is properly licensed for synchronization to
your visual elements and for commercial purposes.
-
Do not make hateful comments or any communication that promotes
racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm against any individual or
group.
-
Do not communicate any sexually explicit material or any material that
contains nudity or excessive violence.
-
Do not communicate anything that contains alcohol without prior
written permission from Brand. Do not communicate anything that
references illegal drugs, tobacco, guns or other weapons or any unsafe
activities.
-
Follow the posting policy and terms of use of any site on which your
communications or content is posted.
-
Do not link to any content that violates any of the foregoing rules of
the road.
-
Avoid False Low Stock Messaging (e.g., creating pressure to buy
immediately by saying inventory is low when it is not); and
-
Avoid creating False High Demand (e.g., creating pressure to buy
immediately by saying demand is high when it is not).
3. Product or Service Claims
-
a. Only Brand should make claims about how our
products or services work and their results.
-
b. Note that claims may be implied as well as
explicit, and the test is what a reasonable consumer would
understand is claimed about a product or service. So, for example,
if you describe a particular result you experienced from using a
skin care product, consumers may understand that that is a typical
result from using the product. If you state, for example, that you
won’t use a competitor’s product or service because it lacks a
particular feature, that may imply that the product you state you
are using has that feature. These claims about our products or
services may need to be substantiated. Since you will not be able to
substantiate them, please do not make claims.
-
c. If you do not know whether you are making a
claim, contact the Brand representative for your engagement or event
for clarification.
4. Important General Considerations
-
a. Brand strongly believes in the need for
responsibility and honesty in connection with all marketing and
communication activities. Accordingly, by participating in any Brand
event or program, you agree to follow carefully these Influencer
Guidelines in all of your messaging, videos, photographs, posts or
other materials created, contributed, commented upon or modified by
you.
-
b. In addition to following these Influencer
Guidelines, you agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations, including applicable UK consumer protection law
(including the unfair commercial practices provisions of the Digital
Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, enforced by the CMA)
and the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct &
Promotional Marketing administered by the ASA (the CAP Code). For
more information on complying with these rules, please see the ASA
and CMA “Influencer’s guide to making clear that ads are ads”.
-
c. The responsibility to comply with the CAP Code,
applicable UK consumer protection law, the laws of defamation and
copyright, and all other applicable laws is yours. While advice from
Brand and these Influencer Guidelines are meant to assist in your
compliance, it is your legal responsibility to comply with all
applicable laws and you should seek independent legal advice as
appropriate. Please use common sense and reasonable judgment about
what you post online and the materials you disseminate.
-
d. Brand reserves the right to review any material
created by you before it is publicly posted or disseminated. If such
a review process is in place, you agree that you will not publicly
distribute any such material before the review process is complete.
If for any reason your material is rejected or otherwise is not
approved during the review process either in whole or in part, you
agree that you will not disseminate the rejected material in any
way. You further agree that you will not link the rejected material
in private or public with Brand.
-
e. You agree to comply with all applicable social
media outlet terms of use, privacy policies and any other relevant
rules, policies or regulations.
-
f. This exhibit is subject to change by Brand at
any time effective immediately upon reasonable notice to you (email
sufficient).
