5. Pledger – User, which has received above zero Pledge Allowance figure from Aciety and has signed above zero Pledge value in any way specified in this Annex.
6. Pledge Allowance – Maximum Pledge value as determined by Aciety for a particular User.
7. Confirmed Pledge – Pledge value signed by Pledger in their Aciety Cooperation Agreement, or later added via Aciety System, or sent via email to [email protected] and confirmed by Aciety with corresponding Pledge Reward.
8. Total Pledged Value - Sum value in EUR of all Pledges from Confirmed Pledges + 1 million EUR.
9. Pledge Reward - Reward in TAP coupons for Pledger for their Confirmed Pledge = 1.25% * Pledge / XTAP.
10. Total Pledge Rewards – Sum of TAP coupons in all Pledge Rewards.

Because:
1. Aciety has created and is in control of Aciety Marketplace, that is used to buy, sell and exchange software;
2. Aciety pre-screens software producers to find ones that have valuable and marketable products;
3. Aciety helps clients to find the most suitable software development partners and software products for their particular (usually high scale, long-term) need;
4. Aciety has launched a coupon, which is meant to encourage code re-use, marketing and reward system for TAP stakeholders;
5. Aciety is releasing 10 million TAP coupons, value of which is based on XTAP rate (https://aciety.com/tap);
6. Pledging is designed to ensure TAP buys at least as much software (or more) compared to the date it was distributed, ensuring favorable use by distributors, Pledgers and other stakeholders;
7. Coupons are distributed in a unique model (Aciety Coupon Model), creating unparalleled affiliate opportunities: 1. First TAP is backed by software, only then it reaches the market; 1. When paying for Pledged IP, TAP value is equal to XTAP rate and as with new Pledgers this value grows, it provides surplus commission to distributors, while maintaining low fees to Pledgers;
8. TAP effectively becomes accumulating discount coupon in a period while Aciety is on-boarding new Pledgers and universal software coupon - when on-boarding will reach maturity (at roughly 10,000 products);
General Conditions
1. Pledged Software – Pledger confirms: a) they have full rights to sell or otherwise distribute the software they listed on Aciety Marketplace; b) descriptions of such software are accurate and not misleading; c) they took necessary steps and will honor any purchase over 100 TAP for their Pledged IP at equal terms as their traditional clients with up to one work day delay; d) they will provide Aciety an up to date pricing of their Pledged IP and that it will be used when calculating how much TAP at XTAP rate should be used to pay for the Pledged IP; e) if pricing in EUR or any other currency in Pledger’s official website (or websites) is less than stated in Aciety Marketplace, Aciety and/or any TAP holder can request such pricing to be used when using TAP for purchase; f) they will provide support to buyers of their Pledged IP as stated by the Pledger in Pledged IP licenses and/or their product page descriptions.
2. Pledged Value – Pledger confirms: a) they understand Pledge value defines how much Aciety, distributors and stakeholders can buy their product for TAP coupon before their Pledge expires, in the event Pledger would like to terminate the Pledge (if Pledger returns their Pledge Reward in full to Aciety, Pledge Minimum value would be used instead of Pledge value); b) if they request to terminate the Pledge, they will receive 75% on remaining sales proceeds, which would be distributed to the Pledger once Total Pledged Value grows higher than it is at the date the Pledger requested to terminate their Pledge.
3. Pledge Allowance – Pledge Allowance is no more than (lowest of the following values, but not less than 25,000 EUR): a) specified by Aciety on individual case basis; b) 10% (ten per-cent) of Total Pledged Value;
4. TAP Distribution - Aciety has issued and distributes 10 million TAP coupons. TAP may be released outside Aciety (in Aciety System and/or over blockchain for better authentication) and Aciety will exchange the older versions of TAP to the newer ones to retain a total of up to 10 million units of TAP in Circulation. Pledger confirms they will accept TAP at XTAP rate for as long as Aciety distributes TAP as per Aciety Coupon Model. If Pledger fulfills all conditions within this Agreement, they will receive Pledge Reward. If Pledger does not fulfill any of the conditions in this Agreement, they may receive a penalty up to the size of their Pledge Reward, paid in TAP to Aciety.
5. Other Conditions – Aciety has made 1 million EUR pledge as a first pledger and will accept TAP for its products placed in Aciety Marketplace for as long as there will be any TAP in Circulation. Aciety maintains database of all Pledges and gives access to a list of products that could be bought for TAP to any TAP holder, owning over 1000 TAP if requested, with limitations as set by Pledgers.
6. Untimely Termination – In case Pledger cannot fulfill their Pledge anymore for any reason on their own, they agree to pass access to Pledged IP to Aciety with the right to sell such Pledged IP for the amount equal to Pledge with all sales proceedings going in equal splits to Supplier Pool and Client Pool.
Aciety Coupon Model

Aciety has designed a coupon distribution model, which ensures that TAP is distributed primarily to its stakeholders and in a way to maximize growth of Aciety Marketplace and TAP adoption. There is a limited number of TAP (ten million coupons), distributed between five coupon pools, each with certain distribution conditions:
1. Supplier Pool – 2 million (20%) TAP coupons rewarded to Pledgers as Pledge Reward, per its reward formula.
2. Partner Pool – 2 million (20%) TAP coupons rewarded to partners, who should provide substantial growth in Aciety Marketplace clientele, or Pledgers. Limitation – Aciety has a right to reward partners in total no more than 2 * Total Pledge Rewards + 100,000 TAP in any given point of time.
3. Infrastructure Pool – 2 million (20%) TAP coupons rewarded to infrastructure producers, who contribute legal, technological, or business support to expansion of Aciety Marketplace and/or use cases for TAP. Limitation – Aciety has a right to reward infrastructure producers in total no more than 2 * Total Pledge Rewards + 100,000 TAP in any given point of time.
4. Client Pool – 2 million (20%) TAP coupons sold as software coupons to Aciety clients (with intention to favor software service companies, which could use TAP to buy products for their clientele). Limitation – Aciety has a right to sell clients in total no more than 2 * Total Pledge Rewards + 100,000 TAP in any given point of time.
5. Team Pool - 2 million (20%) TAP coupons split between shareholders and employees of Aciety. Limitations: a) Locked for 1 year from the moment Total Pledged Value will surpass 10 million EUR; b) Unlocked afterwards proportionally based on formula: 0.25 * (sum of TAP distributed from Supplier, Partner, Infrastructure and Client Pools).
