The Peppy mobile app will check whether the employee email domains fall within the scope of these Terms and Conditions, and, if a match occurs, the Employee or the Partner may continue to complete the registration (at which point the Employee or Partner is considered to be a “Covered Individual”).  If the Peppy Platform does not recognize the employer email domain, then an error message will be displayed, together with instructions on how to remediate the issue.

Once an Employee or Partner has successfully registered and has become a Covered Individual, Peppy shall make available the Service Types (as more particularly described in Schedule 1 of the MSA) via the Peppy Platform which the Customer has opted to include as set out in the Order Form.

The provision of accurate and timely coverage ability data is necessary for Peppy to provide accurate reporting pursuant to Section II of this Exhibit A.
