    1. If you believe you have identified a Vulnerability (excluding the vulnerabilities that are listed under the Annex 3 that is out of scope vulnerabilities) that meets the applicable requirements set forth in the Policy, you may submit it to RDP, in accordance with the following process:
    2. Each Vulnerability submitted to RDP shall be a “Submission.” Submissions must be reported to bugbounty@reddotpay.com. Please specify the Vulnerability details, and specific product version numbers (to the extent applicable) you used to validate your research. Please also include as much of the following information as possible:
      1. Type of issue (buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
      2. Product and version that contains the bug, or URL if for an online service
      3. Service packs, security updates, or other updates for the product you have installed
      4. Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
      5. Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue on a fresh install
      6. Proof-of-concept or exploit code
      7. Impact of the issue, including how an attacker could exploit the issue
    3. You must follow these Terms (“Disclosure Protocol”) when reporting all Vulnerabilities to RDP. Submissions that do not follow the Disclosure Protocol may not be eligible for Reward and not following the Disclosure Protocol could disqualify you from participating in the Program in the future.
    4. Depending on the detail of your Submission, RDP may award Reward of varying amount at its sole discretion. Well-written reports and functional exploits are more likely to result in Rewards. Those Submissions that do not meet the minimum bar described above are considered incomplete and not eligible for Rewards. RDP is not responsible for Submissions that we do not receive for any reason.
    5. There are no restrictions on the number of qualified Submissions you can provide and potentially be awarded Rewards.
    6. It is clarified that, if you submit a Vulnerability for a product or service that is not covered by the Program at the time you submitted it, you will not be eligible to receive a Reward if the product or service is later added to the Program.
  5. Grant of License
    1. RDP does not claim any ownership rights to your Submission. However, by providing any Submission to RDP, you:
      1. grant RDP, its subsidiaries and affiliates the following non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty free, worldwide, sub-licensable license to the intellectual property in your Submission: (i) to use, review, assess, test, and otherwise analyze your Submission; (ii) to reproduce, modify, distribute, display, adapt and perform publicly, and commercialize and create derivative works of your Submission and all its content, in whole or in part; and (iii) to feature your Submission and all of its content in connection with the marketing, sale, or promotion of this Program or other programs (including internal and external sales meetings, conference presentations, tradeshows, and screen shots of the Submission in press releases) in all media (now known or later developed

      3. understand and acknowledge that RDP may have developed or commissioned materials similar or identical to your Submission, and you waive any claims you may have resulting from any similarities to your Submission
  6. Confidentiality and Restrictions on Disclosure
    1. Protecting customers, merchants and partners is one RDP’s highest priority. We endeavour to address each Vulnerability report in a timely manner. While we are doing that we require that Program Submissions remain confidential and cannot be disclosed to third parties or as part of paper reviews or conference submissions. You can only make available high-level descriptions of your research and non-reversible demonstrations after the Vulnerability is fixed. RDP requires that detailed proof-of-concept exploit code and details that would make attacks easier on customers be withheld after the Vulnerability is fixed. RDP will notify you when the Vulnerability in your Submission is fixed. You may be awarded a Reward prior to the fix being released and the awarding of Reward should not be taken as notification of fix completion.
      VIOLATIONS OF THIS SECTION COULD REQUIRE YOU TO RETURN OR FOREFEITURE OF REWARD AWARDED FOR THAT VULNERABILITY AND DISQUALIFY YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM IN THE FUTURE.
  7. Review Process
    1. After a Submission is sent to RDP in accordance with this Policy, RDP engineers will review the Submission and validate its eligibility. The review time will vary depending on the complexity and completeness of your Submission, as well as on the number of Submissions we receive.
    2. RDP retains sole discretion in determining which Submissions are qualified. If RDP receives multiple bug reports for the same issue/Vulnerabilities from different parties, the Reward will be granted to the first eligible Submission. If a duplicate report provides new information that was previously unknown to RDP, we may award a differential Reward to the person submitting the duplicate report.
    3. If you report a Vulnerability without a functioning exploit, you may be eligible for a partial Reward. If you submit the functioning exploit within a reasonable time of submitting the Vulnerability (as may be solely determined by RDP), we may, in our discretion, provide additional Reward (but are not obligated to do so).
  8. Awarding Rewards
    1. The decisions made by RDP regarding Rewards are final and binding.
    2. If RDP has determined at its sole discretion that your Submission is eligible for a Reward under the Policy, we will notify you of the Reward awarded and provide you with the necessary paperwork/documentation to process your award. Failure to deliver the paperwork/documentation as required by RDP may result in the non-awarding of Reward. You may waive the award if you do not wish to receive the Reward.
    3. If there is a dispute as to who the qualified submitter is, Program owner / platform will consider the eligible submitter to be the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter the Program.
    4. If your Submission qualifies for a Reward, please note:
      1. you shall not designate someone else to receive the Reward;
      2. if you are eligible for this Program but are considered a minor in your place of residence, we may award the Reward to your parent/legal guardian on your behalf.;
