Product-Specific Terms: Add-on Services

These Add-On Service Terms govern the purchase of optional services and are “Product-Specific Terms” as defined in the Pebl Master Terms of Service (“MTOS”). They are incorporated by reference into the Agreement upon Client’s written instruction to purchase, inclusion of such services in a Compensation Package submitted to Pebl, or other written instruction directing Pebl to deliver the services.

• Immigration Support.
  • If it is determined that the Supported Worker requires some form of work authorization in the Work Location, Pebl shall contact Client to request the information needed for Pebl to determine whether and what type of immigration support it can provide for the Supported Worker ("Immigration Support"). Immigration Support may include but is not necessarily limited to managing the application and renewal processes for obtaining a work visa sponsorship or residency permit. Client shall provide such information as reasonably requested by Pebl and, to the extent necessary, give Pebl permission to contact the Supported Worker directly to request additional documentation or information. Client acknowledges that whether Pebl can provide Immigration Support and what type of Immigration Support can be provided are determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the Work Location and the specific circumstances of the Supported Worker; therefore, the fees and any further details related to Immigration Support will be set forth on the applicable invoice.
  • Immigration support Fees: Fees to be determined on a case-by-case basis upon Client’s request for immigration support services. If visa-related support is all or part of the immigration support services, the fees for the visa-related support apply again if Client approves the renewal of the visa ("Visa Renewal"). Any applicable translation, legalization, attestation or legal fees necessary to provide immigration support services ("Ancillary Immigration Support Costs") may not be included in the initial invoice for the immigration support services. Prior to proceeding with any Visa Renewal or incurring any Ancillary Immigration Support Costs, Pebl shall obtain a quote for Client's review and approval. If Client approves the quote, Pebl shall proceed with the Visa Renewal and charge the quoted Fees for such Visa Renewal to Client and/or proceed with the Ancillary Immigration Support Costs and charge the approved quoted amount to Client.
• Global Equity Program.
  • "Equity-Based Compensation" or "EBC" means any form of compensation based on the value of Client's equity or stock, including without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance stock units, phantom equity units, or digital assets, etc. Employee stock purchase plans ("ESPPs") are not supported as part of the Services and Client shall not grant the right to participate in any ESPPs to any Supported Workers.
    • Client shall not grant or pay any EBC to any such Supported Workers without Pebl's prior written consent, which may be withheld at Pebl's sole discretion.
    • If the applicable Supported Worker is or will be employed in a jurisdiction that is on the list of viable EBC jurisdictions provided by Pebl to Client (and which may be updated by Pebl from time to time), Client must give Pebl prior written notice of its intent to grant or pay EBC to any such Supported Workers. Upon Pebl's receipt of notice from Client, Pebl will advise Client, based on the relevant jurisdiction, whether Client may grant or pay the applicable Supported Worker EBC, and, if so, the terms on which such EBC can be granted or paid.
    • Client shall provide Pebl all documents and other information needed for Pebl to comply with any withholding or reporting obligations in connection with Client's grant or payment of EBC to any Supported Worker promptly upon Pebl's request.
    • The Parties acknowledge that all grants and payments of EBC to any Supported Worker must be made in accordance with the terms of Client's corresponding EBC plan documents ("EBC Plan"). Client acknowledges that granting or paying EBC to any Supported Worker may increase its risk of creating a co-employment relationship with the Supported Worker and Client agrees that Pebl's consent for Client to grant or pay EBC to any Supported Worker does not constitute advice or representation with respect to Co-Employment (as defined below), or permanent establishment, or classification of any digital assets under any applicable law, rule, or regulation, including whether any such digital asset constitutes a “security” or is otherwise subject to regulation by any governmental authority.
• Background Checks.
  • Upon Client's request and subject to Applicable Laws, Pebl shall conduct background checks on Supported Worker candidates. Pebl shall obtain Client's approval of the applicable background check fees before proceeding with any background check. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the background check must be successfully completed prior to the start date of the Supported Worker's employment with Pebl's local Affiliate or ICP ("Start Date"). Pebl makes no representation or warranty as to the quality, accuracy or completeness of any such background checks. If Client conducts a background check on its own rather than through Pebl (either before or after the Start Date), Client shall conduct the background check in accordance with all Applicable Laws and Client acknowledges that an unsatisfactory result of a background check may not qualify as a valid reason for termination under Applicable Laws in the Work Location. Any request that Pebl conduct an Offboarding of any Supported Worker due to an unsatisfactory result of a background check is subject to the terms of the Agreement and Applicable Laws. If Client chooses not to conduct a background check on any Supported Worker candidate through Pebl, Pebl reserves the right to conduct a background check on any such candidate if deemed necessary due to the candidate's expected role or job responsibilities.
