The Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
Sponsor shall run, maintain, conduct, and administer a Promotion whereby it will make a donation to Charity for Hops for the Day Beer Campaign for one year from the day of the signing(the “Promotion Period”). Sponsor will donate to Charity as per the agreed donation structure.
The “Promotion” will be conducted by Sponsor in the State of legal entity address of the brewery during the Promotional Period. Sponsor shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify Charity for, any and all state or federal sales tax.
Contributions to Charity are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Hope For The Day® is a nonprofit organization, granted 501(c)(3) status by the Internal Revenue Service (I.R.S.). All donations should include the donor’s complete name, address, and amount and date of donation. Charity will provide appropriate acknowledgment as required by the current substantiation regulations of the I.R.S. Donors should contact their personal financial advisor for guidance on their specific situation regarding the deductibility of contributions.
The sponsor will be responsible for all losses incurred by the Promotion. Charity will not be held responsible for such losses.
All public materials that mention the Promotion will accurately describe the terms of the offer and Charity’s mission, will include contact information for Charity, and must be approved in advance by Charity whose approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The public materials will be specific to the party signing the contract. In the event that public materials containing Charity’s trademarks and phrases are used for non- the party signing the contract, those Sponsor agrees to make such donations for those the party signing the contract under the same terms as the party signing the contract and Hops for the Day. Charity may terminate this agreement, and any permission to use the other party’s name or marks, upon written notice to the other party if such other party, or anyone acting on such other party’s behalf, engages in any conduct which is criminal or would tend to damage the reputation of the terminating party.
Licensee shall be permitted to use Charity’s trademarks and phrases “HOPE FOR THE DAY” and “IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK” (collectively, “Licensed Trademarks”) in public materials solely in conjunction with the Promotion and In-Market Promotion that are pre-approved by Charity.
Licensee specifically understands and agrees that no rights are granted herein with respect to any trademark(s), logo(s), or copyright(s) owned by Licensor other than the Licensed Trademarks as expressly set forth herein.

Licensee agrees to the terms and conditions in Schedule A, below.
The sponsor will provide Charity with the final donation payments within thirty (30) days after the end of the Promotion Period. The payment will be accompanied by an accounting of the available results of the Promotion, including the number of units and a per-unit calculation of the amount of the donation, reported by a representative of Sponsor to be accurate. Charity shall have the right to review or audit the books and records of Sponsor relating to the Promotion to verify the accuracy of any payment(s). Any such review or audit shall be conducted during regular business hours, upon reasonable prior notice, at the place where the relevant records are regularly kept, at Charity’s expense; provided that if the review or audit reveals an underpayment of more than 5%, Sponsor shall pay the reasonable costs of the review/audit in addition to the shortfall.
Charity and Sponsor understand that it is not possible to predict how many UNITS and/or POURS will be SOLD during the Promotion Period.
The Promotion will be subject to all applicable laws and any rules adopted pursuant thereto. Each party shall be responsible for complying, at its own expense, with all requirements imposed by law or regulation on it individually as a result of its role in the Promotion, including but not limited to any obligation to register, post bonds, or take other actions under state law as a charity or a commercial co-venturer.
