SECTION 2. NATURE OF THE BITBON SYSTEM
Provision 3. Bitbon System and Its Operation Principles
1. Bitbon System[i] is a decentralized information platform[i] that is managed by Participants[i] and allows Users[i] to realize social relations in the Bitbon System Social Network[i].
2. The Bitbon System infrastructure[i] allows the Bitbon System Community to modernize the process of realizing social relations in order to carry out equal and transparent relations in various global legal systems using decentralized digital registration of property and personal non-property rights in the Bitbon System. Such rights are registered in the Bitbon System through creation of tokenized assets[i] by Users and their subsequent disposal of property and personal non-property rights by means of tokenized asset circulation.
3. The nature of the Bitbon System is determined through its technological, economic and legal, as well as information and applied aspects.
4. The nature of the Bitbon System is based on the doctrine of natural law, which states that when property and personal non-property relations are realized, Users are free to choose the method used to record the expression of will of the parties, specifically to choose the form of the deal.
5. The Bitbon System uses the distributed ledger[i] technology to ensure accounting of events and deals as well as creation and accounting of Users’ tokenized assets.
6. The form of deals in the Bitbon System[i] is a distributed ledger token transaction[i] (hereinafter — deal), which is accepted by the Bitbon System Community and ensured by the functionalities of the Bitbon System infrastructure.
7. In the Bitbon System, the moment of concluding a deal is the registration of an infrastructure fee[i] transaction.
8. In the Bitbon System, only Users are parties to a deal.
9. In the Bitbon System, transparency of deals is ensured by the Bitbon System infrastructure.
10. The nature of the Bitbon System is based on the fundamental principle, Right to the right[i], which allows a User to operate property and personal non-property right by means of a meta-asset[i]. When operating property right by means of the meta-asset, the property itself exists outside the Bitbon System with this User as its owner for the entire duration of this meta-asset’s circulation in the Bitbon System.
11. A principle of value[i] integrity exists in the Bitbon System, which guarantees the uniqueness and integrity of any meta-asset and its data as an object associated with a specific account in the Bitbon System[i].
12. A principle of noninterference exists in the Bitbon System, according to which the Bitbon System regulating relations of Users in the Bitbon System does not restrict their choice and implementation of relations outside the Bitbon System.
13. A principle of neutrality exists in the Bitbon System, according to which:
- 13.1. The Bitbon System is not a party, a third party or an arbiter in a potential dispute between Users as parties to the Contract on disposal of property that exists outside the Bitbon System, the right to which is exercised in the Bitbon System Social Network by means of a tokenized asset (hereinafter — Contract). Disputes that arise between Users within legal relations existing outside the Bitbon System are not regulated by this Agreement[i] and are considered in accordance with the norms of the applicable legislation of the countries, the jurisdictions of which such Users fall under, and/or by norms of international law. All data on the Contract is available to Users as parties to the Contract and may be used by such Users as proof of their legal positions in the dispute.
- 13.2. The Bitbon System is not a party to the agreement on services provided by means of the services of Bitbon System Users[i] (hereinafter — User’s service) and is not responsible for the quality of the services provided by such User’s services.
14. A principle of responsibility division exists in the Bitbon System, according to which:
- 14.1. A User is not responsible for actions of other Users when they are using the functionalities of the Bitbon System infrastructure.
- 14.2. The Bitbon System represented by Bitbon System Operators[i] (hereinafter — Operator) is not responsible if Users violate the norms of the applicable legislation of the countries, the jurisdictions of which they fall under, when using the functionalities of the Bitbon System infrastructure.
15. A principle of personal responsibility exists in the Bitbon System. If actions of a User directly contradict the principle of personal responsibility, this User is considered unconscientious and is responsible in accordance with the sanctions and restrictions envisioned by the Appendix “Bitbon System Community Guidelines”. This principle is that each User is aware of his/her personal responsibility for:
- 15.1. Using only property, including property and/or personal non-property rights (hereinafter — property) owned by the User as property that he/she has the right to dispose of for the purposes of creating a tokenized asset.
- 15.2. Compliance with the norms of the applicable legislation of the country, the jurisdiction of which he/she falls under, during tokenized asset creation and circulation, including with regards to circulability of property, the right to which is exercised in the Bitbon System by means of tokenized asset circulation.
- 15.3. Data on property used by a User when creating a tokenized asset.
- 15.4. Compliance of the Contract and/or deal with the norms of the applicable legislation of the country, the jurisdiction of which this User falls under.
- 15.5. Compliance with the terms and conditions of the disposal of property established by the Contract.
- 15.6. Compliance with the terms and conditions of tokenized asset circulation established by a tokenized asset protocol[i].
16. A principle of presumption of authorship exists in the Bitbon System, which means that the Bitbon System Community recognizes the copyright of the creator of a tokenized asset. Authorship is considered legally reliable until proven otherwise. The Bitbon System infrastructure allows the Bitbon System Community to record copyright and guarantees protection of such rights.
17. A principle of irreversibility of deals exists in the Bitbon System, according to which, due to the technological nature of deals, the moment of distributed ledger token transaction indicates the conclusion of a deal and its proper execution. These facts are circumstances that do not need to be proven. Therefore, claims to terminate deals or invalidate them due to violation of the form of the deal, and/or failure to conclude it, and/or its improper execution are impossible in the Bitbon System.
18. A principle of establishing access to tokenized assets exists in the Bitbon System, which is realized through the functionalities of the Bitbon System infrastructure, in particular through the existence of the technical ability and authority for Operators to establish access of a User to tokenized assets he/she owns in cases specified in and in accordance with the Appendix “Bitbon System Account”. This principle allows Operators to safely for Users and the Bitbon System manage the process of disclosing and transferring data between base services of the Bitbon System[i] (hereinafter — base service) and/or services of Users, which is the foundation for establishing access to tokenized assets.
19. A principle of decentralization exists in the Bitbon System, which consists in three aspects:
- 19.1. Legal decentralization, which means that a User can obtain the Participant status and have equal rights to manage the Bitbon System without restrictions on citizenship, place or state of residence, i.e. international operation of the Bitbon System in the interest of the Bitbon System Community.
- 19.2. Economic decentralization, which means that Participants manage the Bitbon System infrastructure in order to organize and develop the decentralized economic ecosystem.
- 19.3. Technological decentralization, which means development of the decentralized technological scaling of the Bitbon System infrastructure by means of computing and telecommunication resources of Bitbon System Providers[i].
20. A principle of segregation of meta-assets[i] exists in the Bitbon System, according to which all meta-assets of Users are based on meta-asset protocol forms[i], which predetermines the division of meta-assets into types according to their individual and group features, which include: areas of application, restrictions on territoriality and/or objectivity, parties to Contracts and/or deals and other features. This principle allows Users to establish the terms and conditions for circulation of their meta-assets in the Bitbon System.
21. A principle of balance of assets[i] exists in the Bitbon System, according to which the Bitbon System prohibits concluding Contracts, the contents of which can be interpreted as interest rate (borrowing rate or loan interest). Circulation of tokenized assets that have the mechanism violating the correlation between derivativeness[i] of tokenized asset units and the original asset[i], as well as between the original asset and the initial asset[i] due to an increase in one of them without the simultaneous and equivalent increase in the others in the Bitbon System is impossible.
22. A principle of sovereign identity[i] exists in the Bitbon System, according to which every User independently disposes of his/her personal data and access to such data at his/her own discretion. The principle of sovereign identity is ensured by the Bitbon System infrastructure. Security and confidentiality of personal data of each User in the Bitbon System determine the security of the entire Bitbon System Community.
Provision 4. Management of the Bitbon System
1. SIMCORD LLC as the founder of the Bitbon System[i] issued 100,000,000.00 Bitbon units[i], which are used to exercise the right of access to the nonmonetary asset “Components and Services of the Bitbon System Infrastructure” (hereinafter — nonmonetary asset “Components and Services of the Bitbon System Infrastructure” or initial asset[i] for Bitbon) and access to the information resource “Bitbon System Infrastructure Access Set”[i] (hereinafter — information resource “Bitbon System Infrastructure Access Set” or original asset[i] for Bitbon). As a result of getting access to the initial asset for Bitbon and the original asset for Bitbon, a Participant[i] can exercise his/her right to manage the Bitbon System.
2. A Bitbon unit is an integral attribute of a Participant. Ownership of Bitbon units by a User[i] indicates this User’s status[i] of a Participant and rights to manage the Bitbon System.
3. The Bitbon System is managed by all of its Participants. All Participants are equal in their rights, and nobody can claim superiority and establish any other forms of managing the Bitbon System.
4. The Bitbon System is managed by its Participants in the interests of all of its Users in accordance with the Appendix “Management of the Bitbon System”.
