The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel requests for the Issuing of Tokens at any time in its sole discretion.

  1. PROCEDURES FOR ISSUING OF TOKENS

5.1. Unless the Company otherwise permits, You must first be a holder of a Certificate or Certificates in order to be eligible to acquire PMGT directly from the Company (although You may acquire PMGT indirectly by purchasing them under clause 7.1(b), (c) or (d)). If so eligible, You may acquire PMGT through the Platform in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) If You have not already done so, apply for a GoldPass Account with the Perth Mint (see https://www.perthmint.com/invest/goldpass/) and complete the Identity verification process.

(b) create an Ethereum Address;

(c) link Your Ethereum Address to Your GoldPass Account by following the instructions under https://pmgt.io/faq/#how-do-i-link-my-ethereum-address-to-my-goldpass-account, which will include steps You need to take for authentication and verification of Your control of the Ethereum Address;

(d) authorise the transfer of Your Certificate(s) to get-tokens@pmgt.io in exchange for PMGT.

6.1. Certificates transferred to the Company under clause 5 will be held in custody by Trovio Custodians who will hold the Certificate as a bare trustee for You as an owner of PMGT pursuant to a Custody Deed between Trovio Custodians and Trovio (Custody Deed).

6.2. Your rights in the Certificate and the Gold are subject to the terms of the Custody Deed which can be provided to You at any time upon Your request.

6.3. Each PMGT entitles You to beneficial ownership of a corresponding Certificate held by Trovio Custodians on Your behalf, as custodian and bare trustee. Each Certificate is held separately by Trovio Custodians and will not be pooled, combined or comingled with any other assets of Trovio Custodians. The rights and value attributable to each PMGT are independent from, and are not impacted by, the rights or value attributable to other PMGT.

  1. USE AND REDEMPTION OF PMGT

7.1. You may only become a Token Holder by acquiring PMGT from:

(a) the Company under clause 5;

(b) another Token Holder who had acquired his PMGT under clause 5 through the sale or transfer of PMGT from that Token Holder to You;

(c) a Token Holder who had acquired his PMGT under limb (b) of this clause 7.1;

(d) or any subsequent Token Holder who had acquired his PMGT from a Token Holder referred to in limb (c) of this clause 7.1; or

(e) a PMGT Partner, whether through a purchase or any other transaction permitted by the Company.

As a Token Holder, You may sell or transfer Your PMGT to a third party, but any such sale or transfer is subject to clause 22. Such sale or transfer may be initiated by You on the Ethereum blockchain but You are responsible for any expenses for such sale or transfer, including gas cost and fees paid to intermediaries. Any transfer of PMGT made by You under this clause 7.1 is subject to the restrictions set out in clause 22.

7.2. As a Token Holder, You may, at any time, present Your PMGT in exchange for the equivalent amount of the Certificates (“Redemption of PMGT”) in any of the jurisdictions where the exchange of PMGT for Certificates is permitted and which are listed on the Website. If You had not acquired Your PMGT under clause 5.1, You are to first comply with the procedures set out in clause 5.1(a) and (b). Before presenting PMGT, You are to ensure that You have access to the GoldPass Account and are in possession of the private key to the Ethereum Address linked to that GoldPass Account (as set out in clause 5.1(c)). You agree that the only way You can Redeem PMGT is to comply with the procedures and requirements set out in these Terms. You also agree to be subject to any AML/KYC checks as may be required under Applicable Laws or as set out under clause 11 before any Certificate is transferred to You.

7.3. Once the Company has verified Your ownership of and title to PMGT presented under clause 7.2, the Company will transfer the equivalent value of Certificate(s) to the GoldPass Account referred to in clause 7.2, in exchange for such PMGT. Upon such transfer, the Company will then destroy the PMGT.

  1. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO CERTIFICATES

In this connection, please refer to clause 14.1.10.

ANNEXURE 1

TIME LINES FOR ISSUING OF TOKENS AND REDEMPTION FOR CERTIFICATES

  1. Dependency on the Ethereum blockchain: You understand that the Issuing of Tokens and the Redemption of PMGT depend on the Ethereum blockchain. Increased transaction volumes on the Ethereum blockchain may delay the confirmation of the transfer of a) new PMGT to You or of b) the PMGT for redemption to the Company (the Company may wait for multiple blocks to be mined before acknowledging a transaction to help mitigate risk). Such delays are outside the control of the Company.
  2. Operational Limits: The Issuing of Tokens and the Redemption of PMGT are operations that are processed automatically. You understand that the Company may introduce operational limits on the Platform for these operations as part of its overall security concepts. If any such limit has been reached, a manual verification of the operation might be required.
  3. Time line for Issuing of Tokens: The Issuing of Tokens should be completed within 1 to 30 minutes. If a manual verification of an operational limit is required, the Issuing may take up to 1 business day.
  4. Time line for Redemption of Tokens: The Redemption of Tokens should be completed within 5 to 30 minutes. If a manual verification of an operational limit is required, the Redemption may take up to 1 business day to be completed.

ANNEXURE 2

RISKS AND ASSUMPTIONS

  1. Risk of Software Weakness: You understand that the Platform is still in early development stages and unproven. You understand that there is no warranty that the process for creating the Website and Platform will be error-free and that there is an inherent risk that the software could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities, bugs, etc., that could cause complete loss of PMGT, Website or the Platform.
  2. Risk of Losing Access to Tokens Due to Loss of Private Key(s): A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of PMGT stored in Your digital wallet or vault. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with Your digital wallet or vault storing PMGT will result in loss of such PMGT. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service You use, may be able to misappropriate Your PMGT.
  3. Risks Associated with the Ethereum blockchain: Because PMGT are based on the Ethereum blockchain, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the Ethereum blockchain or other technological difficulties may have a material adverse effect on or prevent access to or use of the Platform or PMGT. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as development of quantum computing, could present risks to PMGT and the Platform by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Ethereum blockchain. Transactions involving tokens on the blockchain may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.
  4. Risk of Hacking and Security Weaknesses: Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Platform or PMGT in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing.
  5. Risks Associated with Markets for Tokens: If third party exchanges do permit the trading of PMGT on their own initiative, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Tokens are not legal tender, and to the extent that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to PMGT, such value may be extremely volatile and diminish to zero. There is no assurance that a person or company who accepts a PMGT as payment today will continue to do so in the future.
  6. Risk of Uninsured Losses: Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, PMGT are uninsured unless You specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by the Company, to offer recourse to You.
  7. Risks Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions: The regulatory status of PMGT and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including the Platform and PMGT. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the Platform and PMGT. Residents of certain jurisdictions may not be permitted to participate in the sale and purchase of Cryptocurrencies or digital tokens such as PMGT, and such participation may be illegal in such jurisdictions. Legislation prohibiting or regulating such token sales may be introduced in the jurisdiction of the purchasers or acquirers of PMGT.

New or revised legislation, regulations, administrative directives or guidelines issued by regulators, and regulatory actions could negatively impact the Platform and PMGT in various ways. The Company may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s)to operate in such jurisdiction.

Regulators from the jurisdictions in which a purchaser or acquirer of PMGT resides may, after the sale and purchase or acquisition of PMGT, conduct investigations and take regulatory action in respect of such sale and purchase or acquisition, or prohibit the secondary sale and purchase or acquisition of PMGT.

  1. Risks Arising from Taxation: The tax characterization of PMGT is uncertain. You must seek Your own tax advice in connection with purchasing Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to You, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.
  2. Risk of Insufficient Interest in the platform: It is possible that the Platform will not be used by a large number of individuals, companies and other entities. Such a lack of use or interest could negatively impact the extended use of the Platform and therefore the potential utility of PMGT..
  3. Risk of Dissolution of the Company: It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Platform may no longer be viable to operate and the Company may dissolve.
  4. Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights: Because PMGT confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Platform or the Company or its corporate affiliates, all decisions involving the Platform or the Company will be made by the Company at its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue the Platform, to issue more PMGT, or to sell or liquidate the Company. These decisions could adversely affect the Platform and the PMGT You hold.
  5. Unanticipated Risks: Cryptographic tokens such as PMGT are a new and unproven technology. In addition to the risks included in this Annexure 2, there are other risks associated with Your purchase or acquisition, holding and use of PMGT, including those that the Company cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in this Annexure 2.
  6. Intellectual Property Claims: Intellectual property rights claims may adversely affect the operation of the Platform. Third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to the holding and transfer of digital assets and their source code. Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces confidence in the Platform’s long-term viability may adversely affect the value of the Company, Platform, or PMGT. Additionally, a meritorious intellectual property claim could prevent You from accessing the Platform.
  7. Nature of PMGT: As set out at the beginning of these Terms, and in clauses 3.2 to 3.4, PMGT are asset-backed tokens to be used on a blockchain and grant the holder the right to use the Platform. PMGT are not, and are not intended to be “securities” as defined under the Applicable Law, such as a share or debenture. Purchasers or acquirers of PMGT do not acquire any equity or security interest in, or a debt owed by any corporate entity, and will not enjoy the rights normally associated with shares, debentures or other instruments normally classified as a security.
