Trade Compliance

Last Updated on July 5, 2026

Welcome to Marketeq Digital Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Marketeq," "we," "us," or "our"). This Trade Compliance document (the "Policy") describes Marketeq's commitment to complying with applicable international trade laws and regulations, including those relating to export controls, sanctions, and import requirements. As a firm that serves clients globally, Marketeq is mindful of the trade laws that may apply to its activities and takes reasonable steps to comply with them. This Policy supplements our Code of Conduct and other compliance documents. If you have any questions regarding this Policy, you may contact us at legal@marketeqdigital.com.

1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this Policy is to describe Marketeq's approach to compliance with applicable international trade laws. This Policy applies to Marketeq's directors, officers, employees, contractors, and, where relevant, third parties acting on its behalf, in connection with cross-border activities. It reflects our commitment to complying with export controls, economic sanctions, and import laws that may apply to our operations. This Policy is intended to help prevent violations that could expose Marketeq and its personnel to significant penalties. Compliance with applicable trade laws is a condition of working with and for Marketeq.

2. Export Controls

Marketeq is committed to complying with applicable export control laws that regulate the transfer of certain technology, software, and technical data across borders and to certain persons. We take reasonable steps to understand whether export control requirements apply to our services and to comply with any applicable licensing or authorization requirements. We recognize that the electronic transmission of controlled technology or data can constitute an export. Personnel involved in cross-border activities are expected to be mindful of export control considerations. Where export control requirements apply, we seek to comply with them before proceeding.

3. Economic Sanctions

Marketeq is committed to complying with applicable economic sanctions and trade restrictions imposed by relevant authorities. We take reasonable steps to avoid engaging in prohibited dealings with sanctioned countries, regions, entities, or individuals. We conduct appropriate screening where relevant to identify parties that may be subject to sanctions. We do not knowingly engage in transactions that would violate applicable sanctions. Compliance with sanctions is an important element of our trade compliance efforts.

4. Import Compliance

Where Marketeq engages in the importation of goods, it is committed to complying with applicable import laws, including those relating to customs, valuation, classification, and country-of-origin requirements. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any import activity is conducted lawfully and that appropriate documentation is maintained. While our services are primarily digital in nature, we remain mindful of import requirements that may apply to any physical goods. We seek to comply with applicable import obligations where they arise. Accurate documentation supports our import compliance.

5. Screening and Due Diligence

Marketeq conducts appropriate screening and due diligence to support its trade compliance efforts. This may include screening clients, partners, and other parties against applicable restricted-party lists and assessing the destinations and end uses associated with our activities. We use the information gathered through screening to identify and avoid prohibited dealings. Where a potential trade compliance concern is identified, we assess it before proceeding. Due diligence is an important tool for managing trade compliance risk.

6. Responsibilities of Personnel and Third Parties

Marketeq personnel and third parties acting on its behalf are expected to be aware of and comply with applicable trade laws relevant to their activities. Personnel should seek guidance where they are uncertain whether trade compliance requirements apply to a particular activity. Third parties engaged by Marketeq are expected to comply with applicable trade laws and, where appropriate, may be subject to related contractual requirements. We do not engage third parties to circumvent applicable trade restrictions. Shared responsibility supports effective trade compliance.

7. Record-Keeping

Marketeq maintains appropriate records relating to its trade compliance activities, including records of screening, authorizations, and relevant transactions, where applicable. Accurate record-keeping supports compliance and enables us to demonstrate our efforts if required. We retain trade compliance records in accordance with applicable law and our Data Retention Policy. Proper documentation is an important safeguard in the area of trade compliance. We treat trade compliance records with appropriate care.

8. Consequences of Violations

Violations of applicable trade laws can result in significant civil and criminal penalties for both individuals and Marketeq, as well as reputational harm. Violations of this Policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or engagement, and the termination of relationships with third parties. We take trade compliance seriously and cooperate with authorities as appropriate. Compliance with this Policy protects both individuals and the organization. We are committed to preventing trade compliance violations.

9. Changes to This Policy

Marketeq reserves the right to modify or update this Trade Compliance document at any time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will become effective upon posting the revised Policy, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Where changes are material, we will endeavor to communicate them through appropriate means.
