The Company (“Company ,” “we ,” or “us”) is subject to these Terms of Sale (“Terms”). Each of you and Company is a “Party ,” and, togUSDTer, you and the Company are the “Parties .” The Presale and Token Sale are referred to collectively herein as the “Token Sale” unless otherwise noted.
These Terms take effect when you (1) click an “I Agree” button, checkbox or other indicators of agreement presented with these Terms and (2) when we receive payment in full (“Effective Date”). By purchasing Tokens from us during the Sale Period, you will be bound by these Terms and all terms incorporated by reference. If you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact us at [email protected]
You and Company agree as follows:
1. Purpose and Use of Tokens in the Network
The purpose of the Tokens is to facilitate use of the related services (collectively, the “Services”) through the MARCO Ecosystem created and released by Company (the “MARCO Ecosystem”), which allows users to receive access to cybersecurity protection (collectively referred to as the “Network”). Specifically, Tokens are intended to incentivize exchange of cyber threat intelligence (“Product”), through Services which can be procured on the Network in the MARCO Ecosystem. As such, the Tokens are intended to facilitate interaction on the Network, which is intended to have the functionality set forth in Schedule 1. Important additional details regarding the Network, Services, Product, and Company are provided in the White Paper, available at https://Marco.travel (the “White Paper”).
The Tokens do not confer any rights other than rights relating to the provision and receipt of Services in the Network, subject to limitations and conditions in the applicable Network Terms and Policies (as defined below). In particular, you understand and accept that Tokens do not represent, constitute or confer:
1.Any ownership right or stake, share, equity, security, bond, debt instrument, or any other financial instrument or investment or investment carrying equivalent rights
2.any right to receive future revenues, shares, intellectual property rights or any other form of participation or governance rights from, in, or relating to the Network and/or Company and its corporate affiliates, other than the ability to use the Tokens in connection with the Services in the Network, subject to these Terms;
3.any form of money or legal tender in any jurisdiction or any representation of money, including electronic money; or
4.the provision of any goods and/or services.
As such, protections offered by applicable law in relation to the acquisition, storage, sale, and/or transfer of the instrument and/or investments of the types referred to above shall not apply to any contribution made under these Terms for the acquisition of Tokens or to your storage, sale, and/or transfer of the Tokens.
We make no warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability of fitness for a particular use with respect to the Tokens or their functionality, features, purpose, or attributes in connection with the Network. As a result, you may never receive delivery of Tokens, and you may lose the entire amount of the payment you make to the Company.
As we have limited ability to control third parties’ use of the Network, our responsibility or liability for the actions of third parties on the Network is limited.
2. Scope of Terms
Unless otherwise stated herein, these Terms govern only your purchase of Tokens from us during the Sale Period.
Any use of Tokens in connection with providing or receiving Services in the Network will be governed primarily by other applicable terms and policies, which currently include our terms of service and our privacy policy, which are available at https://Mrctoken.io (collectively, the “Network Terms and Policies”). We may add new terms or policies to the Network Terms and Policies at our sole discretion and may update each of the Network Terms and Policies from time to time according to the modification procedures set forth therein. You have read, understand and agree to these Terms as well as the Network Terms and Policies, the Risk Disclosures (provided later in this document), and the White Paper and will regularly check for updates to these documents on https://Mrctoken.io or other channels we make available, and will read any updates.
YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE PURCHASING TOKENS DURING THE TOKEN SALE FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE AND UTILITY AND TO PARTICIPATE ON THE NETWORK AND NOT FOR INVESTMENT OR FINANCIAL PURPOSES. YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT TOKENS ARE NOT A SECURITY OR A CRYPTOCURRENCY AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TOKENS MAY LOSE ALL VALUE. Tokens are a cryptographic token used on the Network. If you did not understand any of the concepts identified in the White Paper, these Terms, the Terms of Use, Risk Disclosures, Privacy Policy, or other Network Terms and Policies, please contact us at [email protected] By agreeing to the Terms, you affirm that you understand any and all concepts described in the documents to your satisfaction, and you affirm that you also agree to the Network Terms and Policies.
To the extent of any conflict with these Terms, the Network Terms and Policies, which you must agree to in connection with these Terms, shall control with respect to any issues relating to the use of Tokens in connection with providing or receiving Services on the Network.
3. Eligibility
In order to be eligible to participate in the Token Sale, you will have to provide personal information, as requested (your “User Credentials”).
You must also have a wallet or other storage mechanism (“Wallet”) that supports the ERC20 token standard in order to receive any Tokens you purchase from us and provide the address for your Wallet (the “Token Receipt Address”). We reserve the right to prescribe additional guidance regarding specific requirements with respect to a storage mechanism for the Tokens. You must have the ability to send USDTer (“USDT”) to the address that we provide (the “Token Deposit Address”).
We are not responsible for any delays, losses, costs, non-delivery of refunds or of Tokens, or other issues arising from your failing to provide a Token Receipt Address or providing an inaccurate or incomplete Token Receipt Address.
4. Principles
1.By transferring USDT to the relevant Token Deposit Address during the Sale Period, you understand and accept that you make a contribution into the Token Deposit Address for the maintenance of the Network. For the White Paper and/or further information on the Network, visit:Marcoico.io . The information contained in the Whitepaper and on https://Mrctoken.io (the “Company Site”) are of descriptive nature only, are not binding and – unless explicitly referred to herein – do not form part of the Terms.
2.You understand and accept that while the individuals and entities, including the Company assigned to this task, will make reasonable efforts to maintain the Network, it is possible that such maintenance may fail and your MRC may become useless and/or valueless due to technical, commercial, regulatory or any other reasons.
3.You are also aware of the risk that, due to a lack of public interest, the Network could be fully or partially abandoned, be commercially unsuccessful or shut down for lack of interest, regulatory or other reasons. You therefore understand and accept that the transfer of USDT to the Token Deposit Address and the creation of MRC by the Network carry significant financial, regulatory and/or reputational risks (including the complete loss of value of created MRC, if any, and attributed features of the Network).
4.You furthermore understand and accept that the creation and assignment of the Tokens and the execution of the Services are Network-based, consisting of multiple interconnected software codes existing on the USDTereum blockchain (in the form of a smart contract built in Solidity), or other distributed ledger (as determined by the Company), as set forth on the Company Site. Moreover, the Company reserves the right to migrate from the USDTereum protocol to a future protocol, that may or may not currently exist, for any reason, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.
5.This document does not constitute a prospectus of any sort, is not a solicitation for investment, does not pertain in any way to an initial public offering or a share/equity offering, and does not pertain in any way to an offering of securities in any jurisdiction. It is a description of the functionality of the Network.
6.By transferring USDT to the relevant Token Deposit Address, and/or receiving MRC, no form of partnership, joint venture, agency or any similar relationship between you and the Company and/or other individuals or entities involved with the creation or deployment of the Network is created.
7.Your contribution into the Network will not involve any fiat currencies and will strictly be done in cryptocurrencies, with the exception of the invitation-only Presale Period (defined below), which will permit fiat currency deposits into specific accounts determined by the Company in its sole discretion
8.Specific Presale Permitted Transfers: In addition to transferring USDT, if you are invited and participate in the Presale, you may also transfer fiat to the relevant deposit address or accounts provided by us and discussed below.
5. Cancellation; Refusal of Purchase Requests
Your purchase of MRC from us during the Sale Period is final, and there are no refunds or cancellations except (i) as may be required by applicable law or regulation, (ii) as to the Token Sale alone, if fewer than the equivalent of $500,000 USD (calculated to the Applicable Exchange Rate (as defined below)) are created during the Sale Period, or (iii) if USDT is sent to us from an address different than the approved Token Receipt Address. If any of (i), (ii), or occurs, then USDT or other cryptocurrency sent by you to purchase Tokens may be returned and the purchase and sale will be considered not made. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel Token purchase requests at any time in our sole and absolute discretion and to stop the Presale or Token Sale entirely. To the extent that we refuse or reject a payment, we will exercise reasonable endeavors to secure that the payment is returned to the Wallet from which it was made. However, we do not warrant, represent, or offer any assurances that we will be able to successfully recover and/or return such payments, and, in any event, you accept that any return of your payment will be net of any mining fees applied at the time the payment is made and thereafter until returned (if so returned).
We will provide you with web-based support only, which may include email, web forums, and knowledge-based support. We will not provide telephone or live support. Our support email is [email protected]
6. MRC Creation Function
1.Accepted ERC20 Tokens : Only MRC is accepted on the Network. The Network does not accept any other type of token. Other than USDT, any other type of token or cryptocurrency sent to the contract address to purchase MRC may not be recoverable.
2.Minimum / Maximum Contribution Amounts Per User : A minimum contribution of the equivalent of $300 USD (calculated to the Applicable Exchange Rate) per user is required. No maximum contribution amounts are built into the Network.
3.Transferability of MRC During the Sale Period . Any and all MRC will be locked, and are therefore not transferable until the Sale Period has ended as set forth on https://Marcoico.io. After the end of the Token Sale, we plan to make all MRC transferable within seven days, which is the amount of time we anticipate needing to create and distribute the MRC.
4.Third Party Payment Processor . To the extent that any third party website, service, or smart-contract offers to receive payments and issue MRC or facilitates the allocation or transfer of MRC in any way during the Sale Period, such third-party websites or services are, unless expressly set forth in these Terms or mentioned on the Company Site, not authorized by the Company. Such third parties do not have any legal or commercial relationship in any way with the Company. You are solely responsible for ensuring that we actually receive the appropriate amount of cryptocurrency from an ERC20 compatible Wallet. We are not responsible for any loss of funds related to the use of a third party payment processor.
7. Possible Migration of Tokens
1.We reserve the right to migrate the Tokens (the “Pre-existing Tokens”) from the USDTereum protocol to any future protocol, that may or may not currently exist, for any reason. Further, we may generate new Tokens on any future protocol that may or may not currently exist and make them available to the holders of Pre-existing Tokens (the “Replacement Tokens”) should we determine, in our sole discretion, that doing so is necessary or useful to the operation of the Network.
2.In the event that we migrate the Tokens, we may no longer provide support for the Pre-existing Tokens relating to the Network, the Services, or any other operational matters, except with respect to the migration process. Accordingly, by accepting these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that in order for you to continue to participate in the Network or obtain utility from the Tokens, you may need to convert the Tokens you purchase during the Token Sale to Replacement Tokens in the future.
3.In the event that we migrate the Tokens, we shall notify you in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 25(g) herein.
8. Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks
You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with purchasing Tokens, holding Tokens and using Tokens for providing or receiving Services in the Network, as disclosed and explained in the Risk Disclosures set forth in Schedule 2 hereto. If you have any questions regarding these risks, please contact us at [email protected] BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND PURCHASING TOKENS, YOU EXPRESSLY AND FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL OF THE RISKS SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE 2 HERETO.
9. Security
1.Your Security . You are responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing the wallet, vault or other storage mechanisms you use to receive and hold Tokens you purchase from us, including any requisite private key(s) or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanism(s).

You will implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed to secure access to (i) any device connected with the email address associated with your account, (ii) private keys required to access any relevant USDTereum address or your Tokens and (iii) your username, password and any other login or identifying credentials.

Further, you acknowledge and accept that we may refuse or reject any contributions for the purchase of Tokens until after you have provided all information and documentation that we may request under this Section 12 and after we have determined that it is permissible to create and issue Tokens to you under applicable law.
11. Taxes
