TERMS OF SERVICE FOR TOKEN RECIPIENTS
Version 1.0
Last updated on: March 2, 2022
We are an Estonian company Programmable Equity OÜ.
We provide software and technology (the “Software”) to help companies and other organizations (the “Token Issuers”) to issue tokens (the “Tokens”) to token recipients (the “Token Recipients”), generate agreements recording rights and benefits attached to Tokens (the “Token Rights Agreements”), keep record of Tokens, Token Recipients and Token Rights Agreements, and perform certain other actions relating to Tokens (the “Issuer Services”).
We have asked you to read and accept these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) because you are a proposed Token Recipient and parts of our Software are available also to Token Recipients (the “Recipient Services”).
These Terms govern your access and use of the Recipient Services and our website www.koos.io (the “Website”). After your acceptance, the Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and us (the “Agreement").

RECIPIENT SERVICES
The purpose of the Recipient Services is to provide you an overview of Tokens issued (or proposed to be issued) to you by Token Issuers and respective Token Rights Agreements attached to them. At our discretion, we may add other functions or services to the Recipient Services.

- To use Recipient Services, you need to have control over your e-mail account which is registered with us. If you lose control over your e-mail account, you may lose access to your account with us.

You should inform us immediately if you get information about any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account or the wallet.

FEES
- You are not required to pay any fee to us for the use of the Recipient Services.
-
LEGAL MATTERS
- It is very important that you understand certain legal aspects relating to our services and the Tokens:
- We provide you only Recipient Services and our obligations are limited to those explicitly set out in these Terms.
- In providing the Issuer Services we act only for and in the interests of the Token Issuers without any duty or obligation to you.
- The Token Recipients have been selected by the Token Issuers without us having any role. We are not a broker, agent or other intermediary between you and the Token Issuer.
- Each Token Rights Agreement creates a direct legal relationship between you and the Token Issuer. We are not acting as a Token Issuer, we are not a party to any Token Rights Agreement, and we have no responsibility for the fulfilment of any obligations arising from Token Rights Agreement (except in case we have been explicitly named as the Token Issuer in the Token Rights Agreement generated through our Software).
- As we are a software company, we are not professional advisers in legal, tax, financial or accounting matters. This means, among others, that
- even if we have made available guidance on tax aspects that may be relevant to Tokens, such guidance is very general and addresses general tax aspects based on currently effective laws and currently prevailing practice in Estonia; therefore, you should consult with professional tax advisors to fully understand the tax consequences of any Tokens and actions relating to Tokens.
- You should make sure that you fully understand the terms of Token Rights Agreements and legal and other risks involved.
-
USE OF SOFTWARE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
- Your right to access the Software included in the Recipient Services is legally a “license”. Such license is by its legal nature non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable and non-transferable. Such Software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We may update, improve, or change such Software, including add and remove features, at any time.
- You agree that we and/or our licensors own all intellectual property rights in the Software and the Services, including the Recipient Services. Except as expressly stated herein, these Terms do not grant you intellectual property rights or other rights in respect of the Software and the Services.
- Except as may be allowed by mandatory provisions of applicable law, you shall not (i) attempt to copy, modify, duplicate, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, republish, download, display, transmit or distribute all or any portion of the Software by any means or (ii) attempt to de-compile, reverse compile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise reduce to human-perceivable form all or any part of the Software.

- We may terminate the Agreement unilaterally extraordinarily also in case any actions or omissions of any third party or other circumstances depending on any third party (including change in laws or regulations or actions by any public authority) materially impair our ability to provide the Recipient Services or the Issuer Services and such situation is not of temporary nature.
- Upon the termination of the Agreement for any reason, we may erase your data held with us, except in case we receive, within ten days after the effective date of termination, your written request to deliver the most recent back-up of such data to you. In such case, we use reasonable efforts to deliver the back-up to you in a mutually agreed form within 30 days of the receipt of such request, provided you take actions on your part to receive such data.
