Applicable as of 18 October 2023
We are Programmable Equity OÜ, an Estonian company with registry code 16320994 and registered address Kristjani road 4, 74015, Harju county, Estonia, hereinafter “we”, “us”, “our” or “KOOS”.
We are operating the website https://koos.io/, its subdomains (the “Website”) and the KOOS solution, including the software, databases, interfaces, mobile application, associated media, documentation, updates, new releases and other components or materials incorporated therein or integrated therewith (hereinafter collectively the “Platform”). Through the Platform, we provide software and solutions to help companies and other organisations (the “Issuer”, “you”, “your”) to motivate, thank or otherwise remember certain persons (the “Contributors”) by issuing them virtual shares (the “Virtual Shares”). The Virtual Shares may be attached with certain rights or benefits. Such rights and benefits will be recorded in the terms of Virtual Shares (the “Terms of Virtual Shares”) The Contributors that have accepted the Virtual Shares will be registered in the register of Virtual Shares as holders of Virtual Shares (the “Virtual Shareholders").
In addition to solutions and services made available via the Platform KOOS may provide you certain community coaching services to assist you in the preparation of your community engagement strategy and support you in its implementation. Such services are of advisory nature that are provided in reliance on information and input provided by you and with the understanding that the responsibility for the implementation of the strategy lies with you.
Any service made available by KOOS via the Platform or otherwise to the Issuers is hereinafter referred to as the “Issuer Service” or the “Issuer Services”. The specific content, scope and description of the Issuer Services may vary from time to time.

These Terms, its appendices, and the documents referenced herein form together a legally binding agreement between you and us (the “Agreement”) that shall govern the provision of respective Issuer Services.
Issuers using the Platform have previously also issued and registered tokens which represent various rights as specified in respective terms and conditions of such instruments. Although in these Terms we only use the term ‘virtual share’, they continue to apply also to the Issuer Services in relation to such token programs. Therefore, references to ‘virtual shares’ in these Terms refer also to ‘tokens’ unless the context requires otherwise.
In case these Terms are published also in a language other than English and there is any discrepancy or conflict between the English version and the version in other language, then the English language version shall prevail.
