3.6 INVESTMENTS ARE OFTEN RESERVED BY LAW EXCLUSIVELY TO ACCREDITED INVESTORS. To qualify as an accredited investor, you might need a minimum annual income or wealth, or a specific expertise in investing, or, in some countries and for some investments, you must be a member of an angel syndicate for a minimum of 6 months. If you are not sure about your qualification, you should talk to your lawyer or financial advisor. For the sake of clarity, a Membership will provide you with information and meetings with the startup companies. Being able to invest depends exclusively by the law of your country, and the country of the startup company, and by finding an agreement with the startup company.

3.7 If you develop an interest to invest in a specific startup company, you will interact directly with the startup company to conclude any agreements. Sixth Society will in no way be involved in advising you or the startup with respect to the investment, to any extent.

Blockchain Labs and Incubator

3.8 Sixth Society focuses an important share of its revenue to create Blockchain software and solutions in its Blockchain Labs, and to support Blockchain startups via its angel syndicate and its incubator.

3.9 Every product and company built in our Blockchain Labs or supported by our Angel Syndicate, or our Blockchain Incubator will provide a favorable treatment to the Members.

Right to Best Price, Right to Free Use, and Right to First Use

3.12 Right to First Use. The Members will have access to a number of products before they are available to the market. These products might come with an exclusive life legacy plan, where the Members don’t need to pay an annual or monthly subscriptions while the normal customer should.

Affiliate Program, and Right to Best Commissions

3.13 Members are in no case required to promote the membership (“Affiliate Program”) or the company and products built or supported by the Angel Syndicate, the Blockchain Labs, and the Blockchain Incubator (collectively, the “Projects”.)

When Members do promote the Membership or the Projects, they receive the following benefits.

3.14 Affiliate Program. Each Member has the right to a commission on every introduced member. The commission might be updated from time to time in our website and documentation, and it can never be less than 10% on the membership price.

4. FOUNDING MEMBERS

4.1 Nature of the Founding Members. A limited number of active members with the potential to exceptionally contribute to the Membership could apply to become Founding Members.

4.2 Type of Founding Members. There are two types of Founding Members:

·      Annual Founding Members, who renew their membership every 12 months.

·      Life Founding Members, who purchase their membership once in a lifetime.

4.3 Limited number. There are and will always be only maximum 500 Life Founding Members, and 1,500 Annual Founding Members.

4.4 Founding Member Fees. In exchange for the Founding Member Membership and its benefits (the “Founding Member Benefits” below), a Member must pay the Founding Member fees listed on the App or purchase page of the Website from time to time (the “Founding Membership Fees,” as applicable).

4.5 No automatic purchase. Being a Founding Member is much more than just paying a higher fee. Members cannot upgrade automatically by just paying the Founding Member fees. Annual Members should apply to upgrade to Annual Founding Members of Life Founding Members, and Annual Founding Members should apply to upgrade Life Founding Members. Sixth Society will consider the potential and contribution of the applying Member, and decide in its absolute discretion. The Sixth Society decision is final. In case of rejection, the Member could apply again in the following quarter.

5. FOUNDING MEMBER BENEFITS

5.1 Founding Members have all the benefits of the Annual Members, plus the exclusive Founding Member Benefits.

5.2 Right to First Investment. Provided that the Member can invest (for example, he/she’s an accredited investors when required), the startup company will often reserve part of the investment to the Founding Members. The investment not acquired by the Founding Members will be offered to all Members after a certain time, usually after 1 week or 1 month (“Right to First Investment Window”).

5.3 Exclusive Events. Founding Members have the right to participate in Founding Members only events.

5.4 Free events. Founding Members might be invited to participate to the paid events open to all members without any charge.

5.5 Founding Members Participation Rewards. INACTIVE FOUNDING MEMBERS DO NOT RECEIVE ANY PARTICIPATION REWARDS. THIS IS NOT PASSIVE INCOME. Subject to and in accordance with the Founding Member Participation Reward Rules (as defined below), 50% of all revenue generated by Sixth Society from the startup fees and part of the membership fees are used to reward active Founding Members.

5.6 The startup fees (“Startup Fees” or “Projects Revenues”) include:

·      The revenue paid to Sixth Society by the startup companies of the Blockchain Labs, Angel Syndicate, and Blockchain Incubator, for being part of the Sixth Society community. For example, every time a Member introduce a customer to Trustyfy, one of the startups from our Blockchain Labs, Trustyfy pays an extra affiliate commission to the specific Member and an identical commission to Sixth Society. The commission to Sixth Society is used 50% for R&D and services, and 50% as a reward to active Founding Members.

·      The revenue received by Sixth Society for the exit (acquisitions or IPOs) of the startup companies, for the equity received for being part of the Sixth Society community. For example, if Trustyfy gets listed on the stock market (IPO), Sixth Society will sell its options of the company. The revenue is used 50% for R&D and services, and 50% as a reward to active Founding Members.

5.7 The Membership Fees are a percentage of all fees paid by Members and Founding Members. The percentage might change in time, also according to the revenue and exceptional support of the Founding Members, but it’s never less than 5% of the sum of all Membership Fees paid in the quarter.

5.8 The Rewards do not include revenue paid by the startup companies for active services, such as but not limited to Sixth Society Members or team working for the startup companies or purchase of software, etc.

5.9 Having paid your Founding Membership Fees is necessary but not sufficient to receive the Founding Members Rewards. There is no passive income in Sixth Society. Founding Members Rewards are received only by active Founding Members, who participate in the Community, for example, by:

·      Assisting with the Membership program;

·      Participating in the Company’s referendums;

·      Hosting Company events;

·      Offering good and practical ideas to the Company;

·      Introducing experts; and/or

·      Otherwise supporting the Community.

6. NO PASSIVE INCOME

6.1 For the sake of transparency, Sixth Society does not offer, and does not plan to offer anytime in the future, any passive income scheme, guaranteed return of investment, multi-level schemes, or any other get-rich schemes. We want our Members wealthy with constant commissions and life changing investments; however, this success requires active introductions, participation to the community life, and – in the case of investments – a bit of luck.

6.2 Sixth Society reserves the right to cancel the Membership of any Member who promote multi-level schemes and other dubious get-rich schemes within the Community.

25. INDEMNIFICATION

25.1 You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Platform, including, but not limited to, your User Contributions, any use of the Platform’s content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms, or your use of any information obtained from the Platform.

26. ARBITRATION

26.1 Any dispute between you and us arising out of or relating to our products, services, this Agreement or our relationship as created by this Agreement (whether arising out of contract, tort, statute or any other manner) shall be settled in binding JAMS arbitration, in the English language, according to your User Agreement:

26.2 In the event that JAMS is unavailable to administer the arbitration, another administrator will be selected by the parties or, if the parties cannot reach an agreement, the court (as dictated by the forum selection clause herein) shall select the administrator.

26.3 By entering into this Agreement, you expressly waive your right to a trial by jury and right to participate in a class action lawsuit. You further agree that the arbitration will take place on an individual basis, that class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and that you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in any class action. For avoidance of doubt, you are agreeing to give up the ability to bring a lawsuit in court (except small claims discussed herein); and you are giving up the ability to bring or participate in a class action in any form or forum, even if your dispute is determined not to be subject to arbitration.

26.4 If an arbitrator (or a court, if a court determines it can evaluate the issue) decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of Section 25 as to a particular claim or request for a remedy, then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court as set forth in Section 25.1. An arbitrator (or a court, if a court determines it can evaluate the issue) may sever any portion of this Section 25 that it finds to be unenforceable, except for the prohibitions on any claim being handled on a class or representative basis. If, however, the waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable as it relates to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 25.1. This provision does not prevent you or us from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

26.5 This Section 25 will survive any termination of your relationship with us. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed unlawful, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement. Severing any such provision from this Agreement shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions, except as otherwise noted herein.

27. MISCELLANOUS

Waiver and Severability

27.1 No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

27.2 If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable (“Breaching Provision/s”) for any reason, such Breaching Provision/s shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect; and the Breaching Provision/s shall be replaced by the parties to these Terms with provisions that reflect the original intent of the parties to these Terms to the greatest extent possible without being Breaching Provision’s.
