1of10k – Global Terms & Conditions (Draft)

Annex B – United States Regulatory Framework

This Annex applies to Users located in the United States or accessing the Platform from U.S. jurisdictions.

This Annex supplements the Core Terms & Conditions and addresses regulatory considerations relevant to U.S. law and regulatory authorities.

Where inconsistencies arise between this Annex and the Core Terms, the provisions of this Annex shall prevail for Users located in the United States.

1. Regulatory Context in the United States

Digital asset and online platform regulation in the United States involves multiple regulatory authorities, including but not limited to:

  • U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
  • Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)
  • Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
  • Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)

The Platform is designed to operate as a technology-enabled digital participation marketplace infrastructure and does not seek to operate as:

  • a securities exchange
  • a broker-dealer
  • an investment advisor
  • a regulated securities custody service

Nothing in this Annex should be interpreted as a representation that the Platform is currently licensed as a regulated financial institution within the United States unless explicitly stated by the Platform operator.

2. Nature of Platform Services

For Users located in the United States, the Platform provides access to a technology-enabled digital participation marketplace infrastructure hosting structured campaigns connected to real-world assets, goods, services, or experiences.

The Platform infrastructure enables:

  • campaign hosting
  • acquisition of marketplace credits and project NFTs and the voluntary activation of such NFTs to generate participation unit identifiers
  • transparency and allocation verification mechanisms
  • coordination between participants and asset providers

The Platform does not provide:

  • securities brokerage services
  • investment advisory services
  • portfolio management services
  • custody of securities

Participation on the Platform is voluntary and may involve the acquisition of marketplace credits and project NFTs. Participation unit identifiers are generated only if a User voluntarily activates a project NFT within a campaign allocation mechanism.

3. Utility Token Disclaimer

Marketplace credits (utility tokens) used within the 1of10k ecosystem are designed to provide platform functionality and interaction capabilities within the ecosystem and represent a digital product within the Platform.

These credits may enable:

  • acquisition of project NFTs associated with campaigns
  • interaction with ecosystem features
  • voluntary NFT activation mechanisms that generate participation unit identifiers
  • platform functionality

Tokens are not intended to represent:

  • securities
  • investment contracts
  • shares or ownership rights in the Platform operator
  • profit participation rights

The Platform makes no representation that tokens will increase in value, generate profits, or be listed on any digital asset exchange.

4. Howey Test Considerations

The Platform structure is designed to emphasize functional participation rather than investment expectations.

Users acknowledge that:

  • participation unit identifiers generated through voluntary NFT activation provide eligibility within campaign allocation mechanisms
  • digital assets within the Platform may have functional utility
  • participation does not represent an investment contract with the Platform operator.

Participation in campaigns and the voluntary activation of project NFTs that generate participation unit identifiers are designed to provide access to platform functionality and allocation mechanisms and are not intended to constitute an investment contract under the Howey Test.

Participation in campaigns should not be interpreted as an expectation of profit derived from the managerial or entrepreneurial efforts of the Platform operator or as a guaranteed allocation outcome.

5. OFAC and Sanctions Compliance

The Platform complies with applicable U.S. sanctions regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Users may not access or use the Platform if they are:

  • located in jurisdictions subject to U.S. sanctions

Annex D – Campaign Specific Rules

This Annex defines the operational rules governing campaigns hosted on the 1of10k Platform. These provisions supplement the Core Terms and apply to all campaign-based participation mechanisms.

Where inconsistencies arise between this Annex and the Core Terms, the provisions of this Annex shall prevail with respect to campaign-related services.

1. Campaign Structure

Each campaign hosted on the Platform represents a structured participation event connected to a specific real‑world asset, service, or experience.

A campaign typically includes:

  • a defined maximum number of eligible participation unit identifiers that may be generated through voluntary NFT activation
  • a description of the associated asset, service, or experience
  • the campaign duration or closing conditions
  • the NFT activation and campaign allocation mechanism

All relevant campaign parameters are displayed on the Platform interface prior to participation and form part of the campaign disclosure.

2. Participation Unit Identifiers

Participation unit identifiers are generated only when a User voluntarily activates a previously obtained project NFT within a campaign.

These identifiers may be recorded on a blockchain network or through integrated platform infrastructure depending on the campaign design.

The activation of an NFT generates a unique identifier associated with the specific campaign allocation mechanism.

3. Participation Unit Identifier Generation

Participation unit identifiers are generated when Users voluntarily activate a project NFT associated with a campaign.

Users cannot select specific participation unit identifiers.

The identifier generation process is implemented through predefined technical procedures designed to support procedural fairness and prevent manipulation.

4. Campaign Completion

A campaign concludes when one of the following conditions occurs:

  • the maximum number of eligible participation unit identifiers has been generated through NFT activation
  • the defined campaign end date has been reached
  • the campaign operator closes the campaign in accordance with platform rules

Upon campaign completion, the allocation determination process may begin.

5. Allocation Determination Process

Campaign outcomes involving asset allocation rely on a predefined allocation determination mechanism implemented through technical procedures.

The allocation determination mechanism may utilize one or more technical sources including:

  • blockchain-based randomness
  • verifiable random functions (VRF)
  • external randomness providers
  • hybrid entropy mechanisms

The selected participation unit identifier becomes the Allocated Participation Unit Identifier associated with the campaign outcome.

The detailed procedure governing the allocation determination process may be further described in the Platform's Transparency & Allocation Verification Protocol.

6. Allocated Participant Identification

The holder of the Allocated Participation Unit Identifier at the moment of the allocation determination event is considered the eligible recipient of the campaign asset.

Ownership of the participation unit identifier is determined based on:

  • the blockchain record associated with the wallet address, or
  • the Platform account associated with the participation unit

7. Participant Notification and Acceptance

The Platform may notify the holder of the Allocated Participation Unit Identifier through the Platform interface, registered account contact details, or other communication channels.

The identified participant may be required to confirm acceptance of the asset within a defined time period.

Failure to confirm acceptance within the specified period may result in forfeiture of the asset claim.

8. Declined or Unclaimed Allocation Outcomes

If the holder of the Allocated Participation Unit Identifier declines the asset or fails to respond within the acceptance period, the Platform may initiate a new allocation determination process among the remaining valid participation unit identifiers generated through voluntary NFT activation.

This process may repeat until a participant confirms acceptance of the asset transfer.

9. Asset Transfer Coordination

The Platform may coordinate the transfer of the campaign asset between the Provider and the allocated participant.

The Platform may facilitate administrative procedures necessary for asset delivery or ownership transfer.

However, the Platform does not act as the legal seller of the asset unless explicitly stated in the campaign disclosure.

10. Delivery and Transfer Costs

Unless stated otherwise in the campaign description, the Platform may cover reasonable administrative and transfer costs required to deliver the asset to the allocated participant.

These costs may include:

  • legal transfer procedures
  • administrative processing
  • delivery coordination

Jurisdiction‑specific taxes, duties, or registration fees may remain the responsibility of the allocated participant.

11. Ongoing Ownership Costs

After the asset transfer is completed, the allocated participant assumes responsibility for all ongoing ownership costs associated with the asset.

Such costs may include, but are not limited to:

  • taxes
  • insurance
  • maintenance
  • registration or licensing fees
  • operational or usage expenses

12. Provider Responsibilities

Campaign assets may be supplied by independent third‑party Providers.

Providers remain responsible for:

  • the accuracy of asset descriptions
  • legal ownership of the asset
  • the legal ability to transfer ownership
  • compliance with applicable laws and regulations

The Platform primarily acts as a technology infrastructure facilitator coordinating campaign-related services.

13. Campaign Modification or Cancellation

The Platform reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cancel a campaign where necessary due to circumstances including:

  • technical issues
  • regulatory or legal requirements
  • provider-related complications
  • security or integrity concerns

Where appropriate, the Platform may define remediation measures which may include campaign rescheduling, replacement assets, or other appropriate adjustments.

14. Campaign Transparency

Key campaign parameters may be publicly visible on the Platform in order to support transparency and trust.

Such information may include:

  • maximum number of eligible participation unit identifiers
  • campaign progress
  • allocation determination execution
  • verification of allocated participation unit identifier determination

15. Campaign-Specific Conditions

Certain campaigns may include additional rules depending on the type of asset involved.

Examples may include:

  • real estate transfer procedures
  • vehicle registration requirements
  • jurisdiction-specific delivery conditions
  • identity verification requirements for asset transfer

Such additional rules will be disclosed within the campaign interface or campaign disclosure documentation.
