Rules of the Game

1. Compliance with Vision, Mission, and Values
   • You commit to uphold the Network’s Vision, Mission, and Values in all actions, words, and decisions related to Network projects.
   • If the Network’s Management Team reasonably determines, after a transparent investigation, that you have violated these principles, your participation in affected projects may be terminated. The investigation process will include: (a) written notice of the alleged violation, (b) an opportunity to respond within 14 days, and (c) a documented decision. You may appeal the decision to an independent Network review panel within 30 days.
2. Membership Shares and Consequences of Violation
   • In the event of a confirmed violation, your rights tied to Network project shares (e.g., voting in governance bodies) will be suspended pending resolution.
   • The Network may sell your suspended shares to another member at a fair market value, determined by an independent valuation process agreed upon by the Management Team and disclosed to you. Proceeds will be transferred to your account within 30 days of sale. While the sale price is final within Network governance, this does not waive your legal rights to seek judicial review where permitted by applicable law.
3. Use of Network Platform
   • You agree not to use the Network’s platform, resources, or member contacts to initiate or conduct projects with other members outside the Network’s governance structure, unless explicitly approved by the Management Team. This does not restrict your personal activities unrelated to the Network.
4. Transparency and Governance
   • You will provide relevant project-related information reasonably requested by the Network to ensure compliance with its governance standards and applicable laws. Personal data will be handled per the Network’s Privacy Policy.
5. Duty to Projects and Conflict of Interest
   • You (or your representative) will act in the best interests of any Network project you join, prioritizing collective goals over personal gain beyond agreed-upon benefits (e.g., fair compensation).
   • If a potential conflict of interest arises, you will promptly disclose it in writing to (a) the project’s governance body and (b) the Network’s Project Management Office (PMO) Team. The PMO Team will review and issue a binding decision within 14 days, ensuring fairness and alignment with Network Values.
6. Dispute Resolution
   • In case of disputes arising from your membership or project participation, you agree to first submit the matter to the Network’s arbitration process, conducted by a neutral panel appointed by the Management Team. A decision will be provided within 60 days.
   • If dissatisfied with the outcome, you may pursue legal action, provided you have exhausted this process and have a reasonable basis for escalation.
7. Purpose and Scope of Membership
   • Membership is designed to foster collaboration among like-minded individuals in a supportive environment, maximizing opportunities for co-creation and minimizing risks of disputes. It does not establish an employer-employee, agent-principal, or any other legal relationship that holds the Network liable for your actions or authorizes you to act as its representative.
   • The Network is not responsible for individual member conduct outside its governance framework

Preamble

This Co-creators Contract ("Contract") governs your participation as a co-creator in startup projects facilitated by the Better World Makers Network ("Network") and Startup Tribe. By signing, you agree to co-create value, share equitably, and uphold the Network’s Vision, Mission, and Values.

Definitions

• Ad Hoc Members: Temporary team members added to a Primary Team as needed (e.g., vendors, investors), whose contributions dilute Permanent Team Members’ shares proportionately.
• Building Blocks (BBs): Specific, priced work units outsourced to Co-creators for delivery (e.g., software module, business plan).
• Co-creators: Network members who collaborate in Startup Tribe teams to deliver Building Blocks and share value.
• Contractual Rates: Hourly rates agreed with Projects for Building Block delivery (e.g., $10/hour).
• Domain Experts (DEs): Co-creators providing expertise and oversight in a team, paired with R&D Associates.
• Equity Credits: Units earned by Co-creators for work on Building Blocks, convertible to cash, Equity Shares, or promiXo coins.
• Equity Shares: Ownership stakes in Projects, granted if Equity Credits remain unpaid past the Standard Credit Term.
• Estimated Man-Hours (EMH): Agreed hours required to deliver a Building Block, used for billing.
• Equitable Share: Predefined formula splitting value from Building Blocks: 20% to PMO Team, 80% to Delivery Team; within each, 50% to DEs, 50% to RDAs.
• Nominal Value: Value of one Equity Credit, set at one man-hour of work (e.g., 100 hours = 100 credits).
• Permanent Team Members: Core Co-creators in the Primary Team (PMO or Delivery roles).
• Primary Team: Core group for each Project, comprising PMO Team and Delivery Team.
• Projects: Clients outsourcing Building Blocks, either independent entities or Network-incubated startups.
• promiXo: A cryptocurrency backed by Equity Shares, exchangeable at 1:1 with Equity Credits, aimed at funding an Unconditional Basic Income (pending legal approval).
• R&D Associates (RDAs): Co-creators executing tasks under a DE’s guidance, billing based on their hours.
• Standard Credit Term: 90 days from billing date for settling Equity Credits in cash.
• Startup Tribe: A Network-affiliated foundry fostering social enterprise startups.

1. Compensation

1.1 Earning Equity Credits: As a Co-creator in a Primary Team, you earn Equity Credits based on your contribution to delivered Building Blocks, calculated as Agreed EMH × Contractual Rates.

• Example: 1,280 hours at $10/hour = 12,800 credits.

1.2 Payment: Credits are payable in cash within 90 days of billing, in the Project’s approved currency. You bear any forex gains/losses and remittance costs.

1.3 Default Options: If unpaid after 90 days, you may:

• Convert credits to Equity Shares at Nominal Value (1 credit = 1 share); or
• Exchange credits for promiXo coins at 1:1 (subject to promiXo launch).

1.4 Stock Options: Unpaid credits are secured by Stock Options, granting the right to convert to Equity Shares if payment defaults.

1.5 Equitable Share Formula: Credits are split:

• PMO Team: 20% (50% to DEs, 50% to RDAs).
• Delivery Team: 80% (50% to DEs, 50% to RDAs).
• Ad Hoc Members dilute this proportionally based on their contribution’s fair market value, set by the Project and PMO Team.
• Example: $12,800 credits → PMO ($2,560: DE $1,280, RDAs $1,280) + Delivery ($10,240: DE $5,120, 8 RDAs $640 each).

1.6 Taxes: You are responsible for your own tax and compliance obligations.

• Delivery Team: Executes and delivers Building Blocks.

2.3 Team Roles:

• DEs: Oversee and approve work; one DE per BB.
• RDAs: Perform assigned BBs; billable hours are RDA-based only.

2.4 Ad Hoc Members: Added as needed, valued at fair market rates (e.g., $10 SaaS subscription dilutes shares from 100 to 110 total value).

3. Equity and promiXo

3.1 Equity Shares: Represent ownership in Projects. Shares are transferable only among Network members unless the Project spins off as an independent entity.

3.2 promiXo (Work in Progress): A coin tied to Equity Shares, with dividends funding a community Basic Income after admin costs. Exchangeable at 1 credit = 1 coin via a future banking portal (pending legal clearance).
