THE ZOOM SOLOPRENEUR 50 PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The 2026 Zoom Solopreneur 50 Program (the “Program”) is sponsored by Zoom Communications, Inc. (“Zoom”) 55 Almaden Blvd., 6th Floor, San Jose, CA 95113.

The Program is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia. To participate as a Nominator or Nominee, you must be eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry. Nominees must qualify as solopreneurs, meaning they own and primarily operate a business independently and are the sole full-time operator of that business. Use of contractors, freelancers, or part-time assistance does not disqualify a nominee, provided the nominee remains the primary and sole full-time operator responsible for the business. This Program is a business recognition program open only to established business owners entering in their professional capacity.

This Program is not open to: (1) employees or internally contracted vendors of Sponsor or its parent/subsidiaries, agents or affiliates; (2) the immediate family members or members of the same household of any such employee or vendor; or (3) anyone professionally involved in the development or administration of this Program. Void wherever prohibited or restricted by law.

By participating in the Program, Nominators and Nominees agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and the decisions of Sponsor and the judging panel (also referred to as “Administrator”), which shall be final and binding in all respects. All federal, state, and local laws apply.

Program entry period begins at 12:00:01 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) on January 8, 2026 and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. ET February 13, 2026. To participate in the Program, a person (the Nominator) completes the nomination form with their selection of one (1) eligible person who the Nominator believes is a qualifying solopreneur who owns and independently operates their business consistent with the Program’s purpose and mission (“Nominee”)

If submitting on behalf of another solopreneur, you represent and warrant that you have obtained the nominee’s consent to share their information and participate in the program.

Entries will be reviewed for the purpose of evaluating nominees in connection with the Solopreneur 50 program. If a nominee advances to later stages, additional information or materials may be requested and will be subject to additional terms.

Personal information submitted in connection with an Entry, including names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, may be collected, processed, and used by Sponsor or Administrator to administer the program and to send program-related updates, content, and invitations, in accordance with applicable law and Zoom’s Privacy Statement for the Program at https://www.zoom.com/en/audiences/solopreneurs/privacy-statement/.

Each Entry must be appropriate for a professional audience and consistent with the purpose and values of the Solopreneur 50 program. Submissions must not contain unlawful, offensive, defamatory, or discriminatory content, infringe third-party rights, promote violence or illegal activity, or otherwise be inappropriate or inconsistent with the spirit of the program. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entry that it determines, in its reasonable discretion, does not comply with these requirements.

Each individual may submit only one (1) nomination during the Program Period. If multiple nominations are submitted by the same individual, only the first complete submission will be considered. If a nominee submits their own entry, that submission will take precedence over any third-party nomination.

Automated, scripted, or bulk submissions are strictly prohibited. Nominations submitted in violation of this rule may be disqualified.

Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any nomination or participant that it determines has engaged in conduct that undermines the integrity, fairness, or proper operation of the Program, including repeated or egregious attempts to submit multiple entries.

Submission of a nomination, including any acknowledgement by Sponsor, does not guarantee eligibility, receipt confirmation, or selection in the program. Sponsor’s database clock is the official timekeeper for the Program.

Fifty (50) Honorees will be named and prizes will be awarded as described below. Five (5) Finalists will be selected from the Fifty (50) Honorees. Prizes are non-transferable and cannot be substituted for like value, except at the sole discretion of Zoom. Zoom reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value in the event a prize is not available at the time of award.

Winners will receive recognition packages, including awards, networking opportunities, event invitations, and other benefits. Exact prizes to be awarded at Sponsor’s discretion. The total approximate retail value (“ARV”) of all prizes to be awarded in the Program is $150,000.00.

All Honorees and Finalists are solely responsible for any federal, state, and local taxes, fees, or other costs associated with the receipt or use of any prize. For prizes valued at $600 or more, Sponsor will report the Fair Market Value of the prize to the Internal Revenue Service and to the winner as required by law.

Sponsor may require Honorees and Finalists to complete and return all required tax documentation, including IRS Form W-9 and a valid Social Security number or taxpayer identification number, as a condition of receiving a prize, in order to comply with applicable tax reporting obligations. Winners must provide all required documentation within thirty (30) days of notification.

Sponsor reserves the right to withhold and remit taxes from the value of any prize as required by law. Failure to provide required documentation or to comply with applicable tax laws may result in forfeiture of the prize, in which case Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, award the prize to an alternate recipient.

All costs and expenses not expressly stated as part of the prize are the responsibility of the Honoree or Finalist. The Fair Market Value of prizes for tax purposes will be determined by Sponsor based on actual cost or market value of prize components.

Nominees will be judged based on the following criteria:

• Originality: How unique or differentiated is their idea, product, or approach?
• Performance: Evidence of growth, traction, or business sustainability.
• Impact: Demonstrated contribution to customers, communities, or industries.
• Authenticity: Alignment between the business and founder’s personal ethos.
• Influence: Reach and resonance — from thought leadership to community-building.

All nominations are subject to a preliminary review by Sponsor to confirm eligibility and select nominations for further evaluation. Selected nominations will advance to the judging panel.

Potential Honorees and Finalists will be notified by Sponsor via email using the contact information provided in the nomination and may be asked to verify eligibility and provide additional information, including financial or business information. Failure to respond, provide requested information, or otherwise comply with these Terms and Conditions may result in disqualification at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

Zoom may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any Nominee or Nominator for conduct, behavior, or content that is inconsistent with the values of the Program, may harm or reflect unfavorably on the Administrator, the Program, or its affiliates, or is otherwise inappropriate or objectionable. Disqualification also may result from failure to respond to notifications, provide requested information, or otherwise comply with these Terms and Conditions.
