Smart Contract Policy
Policy Date: May 2024
The following policy (“Smart Contract Policy”) provides the terms and process that will govern transactions in goods and services from, to, and between Members within the ImagineBC community (the “Community”) as well as the disbursement of any resulting credits to Member Referrers, the Genesis Pool and Third Party Referrers (as each are defined below).
Acceptance
This Smart Contract Policy will be effective as of the policy date listed above and will apply to all transactions conducted within the Community. By entering into transactions on the ImagineBC mobile application or BizBase web application (the “Applications”) you consent to this Smart Contract Policy. If you do not consent to this Smart Contract Policy, do not enter into transactions using the Applications.
Objectives
As a service to our Members, ImagineBC provides tools for Members to buy and sell goods and services. Members may also buy from or sell to third parties (e.g., access to data). To maintain, promote, and grow the Community, various other parties (Referrers, the Genesis Pool, and Third Party Referrers) will also receive a portion of credits for each transaction. Payment to the seller and disbursement of these credits will all be automatically processed by smart contract software based on the rules set forth herein.
Changes to the Smart Contract Policy
The Smart Contract Policy will only be changed as follows:
Changes may be proposed by ImagineBC and put to the Members for a vote using functionality within the ImagineBC mobile application;
Members will vote for or against the proposed change; and
If greater than 50% of the Members voting vote in favor of the change, then the change will be deemed approved and will be implemented.
Parties to a Transaction
The parties potentially involved in a completed transaction are listed below:
“Buyer” means an individual Member of the Community or an organization member who purchases goods, services or data from an individual Member using the ImagineBC mobile application.
“Genesis Pool” means the pool of funds that receives a minimum number of credits from each transaction as well as any part of the credits from a completed transaction that could not be allocated to another member of the community (e.g., because a Member involved in a transaction was not referred to the Community, in which case the Referrer’s credit would be directed to the Genesis Pool).
“Genesis Pool Members” means the individuals and organizations who hold interest in the Genesis pool.
“ImagineBC” means ImagineBC, Inc., company that created, administers, and maintains the Applications, including its affiliates and successors.
“Member” means an individual, or organization, that is a member of the Community.
“Referrer” is the individual Member (or a Third-Party Referrer) who invited another Member to join the Community. The connection between a Referrer and the referred Member is captured at time of registration.
“Seller” means a Member who is selling goods, services or their data within the Community.
“Third Party Referrer” means an organization, association, or individual, who has referred blocks of individuals to the Community. Examples may include a staffing company, a labor union, or a social media personality.
