-

acceptance

Agreement with a proposed course of action or outcome

Acceptance is rather self-explanatory. It is a situation, set of terms, definition of conditions or of a result which can be agreed to or not. In other words, acceptance indicates one's formal confirmation to any requirements, roles, responsibilities and the like. As pertain to collaborations, acceptance declares terms and conditions as being satisfactorily defined or fulfilled

The buyer in an accepted collaboration is therefore subject to and liable for associated costs as may be owed for such private engagement. Acceptance extends to purchaser's confirmed [and thereby accepted] receipt of goods, service, physical items and any type of sale or paid engagement as may be described within registered documentation

For example, the purchaser accepts terms and conditions of their collaboration contract before engagement commences. Once registered, this contract has begun. The purchaser's acceptance of associated terms, conditions, responsibilities, risks, duties, roles, obligations, costs and the like is understood as being active

Registered participants may subsequently confirm individual acceptance to conduct, roles, responsibilities, changes of descriptions or the like. Following registered collaborative engagement, purchaser [a Purchasing Member], may confirm acceptance of total charges alongside specified payment methodologies, and so on

-

abandoned

Un-managed and requiring TOF®'s direct functional involvement

Abandoned classification may extend to actions or decisions taken by TOF® as involve, but are not limited to:

i) financial transfers awaiting feedback or direction; or

ii) decisions requiring registered participant’s input; or

iii) pending reviews or responses or any outstanding set of Biosphere specific tasks which have been left unattended to by the responsible member for a period of 28 days [672 hours] or longer

Abandoned may also be applied to TOF® services, actions or tasks should a member have either deleted or de-activated their Biosphere profile before completing set requirements of registered contract, pending financial functions, orders, is holding outstanding transfers amounts yet to be executed or the like

-

account

Public and private digital facets of one registered member

Accounts appear in TOF®’s mobile applications, web-application, websites as well as throughout associated services

For example, an account may include listings in Biosphere search results, on the global map as a pin and in associated open pins

Account may also be used to by TOF® to reference personally identifiable details such as an email address. Such private information may only be visible to TOF® yet still form part of the 'account' data

-

activated

Biosphere member that has confirmed their identity and payment method

Activated members are able to purchase TOF® services

A member is classified as activated after its profile operator successfully submits copies of and subsequently secures written approval from TOF® of their personal identification's documentation recording  (which may for example include scans or photos of say currently held and up to date government issued passport or a driver licenses), as well as banking information registration with TOF® to thereby enable the movement or deduction of fiat or digital currencies (which may for example include personal credit card details, bank accounts and routing numbers and or connection with PayPal or comparable monetary and or payment processing merchants)

Choices of personal identification and banking information registered in Biosphere are independently conducted at member's discretion. Member's further assume full responsibility to meet any transfer or processing fee amounts as owed or that may be linked with their Biosphere activity, processing merchants or financial service providers and the like

Only activated members can make purchases, communicate with other members regarding collaboration as well as utilize TOF® services

-

activity

Interactions in Biosphere or with TOF® services

Activity is shorthand for documented actions relating to Biosphere utilization. Activity pertains to all methods of interface including, but not limited to:

i) communications such as text messaging;

ii) media content;

iii) discussions;

iv) submitted feedback;

v) notification settings;

vi) posted reviews;

vii) open collaboration postings;

viii) descriptions;

ix) private chats;

x) uploading or tagging of media;

xi) linking with social media accounts;

xii) use or movement of blockchain-based currency in digital wallets;

xiii) starred multimedia content;

xiv) listings of 'followers';

xv) entering or adjustment of Biosphere account profile settings;

xvi) answering of profile questions;

xvii) collaborative engagement or exchange creation, participation, collaboration discussions and the like

TOF® does not monitor all forms of member activity, whether relating in part or whole to Biosphere use or TOF® services 

-

additional charges

Costs of agreed activities added to registered contract

Additional charges are fees or billable amounts which can be invoiced by one registered participant and thereby set as owed by the other. Additional charges may include, but are not limited to:

i) change fees or penalties;

ii) billed design revisions;

iii) invoiced special requests;

iv) fees against damages or incidentals;

v) subsequent purchase of items or products;

vi) others which constitute a cost to one registered participant who, as previously mutually agreed to as well as explicitly quantified in registered contract, then presents to purchaser as owed [Purchasing Member], or colloquially known as [client], in order to gain payment

TOF® does not monitor execution of registered contract completion, including lack thereof. TOF® may implement financial functions to specified amounts or values only as exactly quantified in registered contract

-

agreement

Binding form of mutual understanding

An agreement may be towards a collaborative engagement or similarly defined formalized structure of mutual intent or understanding which, in part or whole, contributes to the creation of a set common understanding or stipulation which can by reference in contract define the actions, conduct, roles, liabilities and responsibilities between two or more parties

An agreement may be held as present whether a collaborative engagement or exchange is or has yet to be registered with TOF®. Additionally, a form of agreement may be held as present outside of or in the absence of registered documentation

Quite simply, whenever participants concur on the defining of their roles, responsibilities, course of action or the like then an agreement could be held as actively present

Although agreements are typically set in written exchanges, the definitions of agreements may incorporate visual and multimedia content such as photos, videos and the like. Any format or type of such content may in turn form portions of legally binding, contractual documentation

-

-

appearance

Commissioned to be present at a set time and location

Appearances can be billed engagements or services. The value of an appearance, as set in contract, is constituted by one's physical attendance

Unless otherwise explicitly detailed, successful completion of a booked appearance may not require any additional actions, activities or conduct

For example, registered contract may stipulate that a publicly recognizable personality [celebrity], be present at a certain place and time. Unless other responsibilities were stipulated in registered contract such person’s physical attendance could be held as the single requirement for classification of successful completion

-

artist

Producer or provider in collaborations

Utilizing the Biosphere as a member an Artist can be the person whom has categorized him or herself as the creating, providing or producer of materials, treatments, items or services or the like which are made available for sale, discussion or commission

Artist members are believed to have the right to sell their work, performances, activities, complete specific procedures or services in their own unique manner as say in the execution of trained or inherent artistic capabilities, skill sets or comparable talents

Artist may also apply to a TOF® member whom authorizes transfer of ownership or sale of works, composition or comparable crafted productions as defined between collaborative participants

Possessing this right of sale presupposes but does not limit additional capability in transferring intellectual property rights or copyright ownership, as and when applicable

Artist is categorically differentiated from a business or re-sellers of products and materials. Although an artist may sell items or other physical goods, in such they are not purely acting only as a re-seller. Artist's fundamentally may be deemed to have some direct creative or aesthetic control as to the appearance of certain items, products or materials as presented for sale

An artist may be thought of as the member who has an almost monopolistic control over their product, service, offering or therein ascribes the value provided during collaborative sale, purchase or commissioning

-

art/work

Identifiable, tangible deliverable as produced, created or crafted

Art/Work references the discreetly identifiable results as specified in collaborative commissions, services and engagement documentation. It can, in contract, also be referred to as "Work" or "Body/Art" or "Content"

Art/Work is that which has been functionally specified as commissioned or set for ownership transfer by one to a second collaborative participant. Art/work can be that which a party produces, provides, creates, applies, completes, concocts, constructs, compiles or likewise delivers in return for or due to consideration of the other party's transfer to them of set costs, fees, charges, payments, remuneration or the like. In other words, ownership of what is bought or paid for

Art/work may refer to but is not limited by:

i) physical artistic items such as a print, sculpture, carving or painting;

ii) a tattoo or body modification as appearing after applied or completed;

iii) the recording or similar documentation of a performance, show, event or appearance;

iv) photographs, videos or similar documentation of a participant in collaboration, say a Model;

v) existing copyrighted content such as media, videos, photographs, drawings or sketches produced and the like

Art/Work may be thought of as fundamentally referencing an identifiable product, service or deliverable separate to commercial products or potentially mass-produced items

-

associated documentation

Data relating to collaborative engagement or exchange

Associated documentation includes but is not limited to registered collaborative engagement or exchange documentation, contracts, copyright registrations, written exchanges, visual references, recordings and the like

-

attendance

When one is physically present at a set time and location

Attendance is held, conducted or set for a specified time and location. Attendance may pertain to a series of timed appointments or to one member’s digital presence, say for a telephone call or similar appointment

For example, if registered contract specifies joint attendance scheduled for 1pm on the 1^st of March 2021 at the Royal Albert Hall in London then it's contractually required that registered participants may only be 'in attendance' provided that both are indeed physically present at this specific location [Royal Albert Hall, London], at the time specified [1pm on the 1^st of March, 2021]

-

biosphere

TOF®’s bespoke digital services, applications and platforms

Biosphere includes The Other Blockchain® [TheOtherFruit.io], and various custom distributed ledger technologies. Such applications include but are not limited to the execution of immutable, time specific smart contracts

Biosphere constitutes a member only, digital supra-national space wherein facilitation and security services are tailored to permit member’s autonomous and independent defining of hypermedia collaborative engagement or exchange contractual documentation, immutable decentralized and anonymously coded accounting alongside various financial functions. Biosphere is neither a common carrier nor public utility

-

blocked

Visibility restriction, to be 'invisible' or hidden from set members

Blocking, to block or be blocked describes the optional action taken by members where the initiator of blocking action subsequently restricts their visibility from others

For one person to be blocked means that this member, as on Biosphere or throughout TOF® services, is not seen nor able to interact with or view the profile of the one who executed such a block

Blocking can be applied individually or to entire countries, specified by geographical boundaries. The resulting blocking effects as calculated may be in relation to a Biosphere member’s set profile location and may change or be removed entirely, in tandem with said member's chosen future locations

-

-

blockchain

Secure digital ledger operating on a distributed network of computers

A blockchain runs on distributed ledger technologies [DLT]. A blockchain is a decentralized, cryptography enhanced form of digital ledger into which data may be chronologically and securely recorded

Use may constitute a decentralized accounting of constantly growing [practically immutable] data ‘blocks’. So as to securely store, record and provide TOF® services, The Other Blockchain® anonymizes ledger data as well as use.  TOF® thereby enables blockchain ledger data recall implementation by and for registered participants

TOF® has structured its services so that collaborative engagements, conduct, exchanges and details as well as such data's disclosure to third parties is conducted at relevant members personal discretion

TOF® holds that this functionality or implementation of bespoke distributed ledger technology networks permits optimal, personally beneficial utilization of decentralized technologies without degradation of privacy

-

blockchain-based currency

Digital assets that exists by virtue of ownership records

Blockchain-based currencies, transfers and movements are recorded through use of decentralized [distributed ledger technologies], and or similar peer-to-peer networks

Transfers and movements of blockchain-based currencies cannot be easily modified, withdrawn, cancelled nor amended. All such blockchain-based currency transactions are conducted under the processor's sole responsibility, whether initiated through use of a private digital wallet or any form of blockchain-based currency storage method, medium or technology

TOF® does not control nor advise members as to preferable miner-fees [transaction costs for blockchain-based currency transfers], the desirability or stability of any blockchain-based currency nor blockchain-based currency movements

Due to common encryption and anonymity for blockchain-based currency wallets, including alternate storage methods, at all times TOF® has no insight nor control of any such wallet’s balances and use, even whether such is attempted to be classified as within or associated to TOF® services

-

body modification

Alterations to the human body as performed by professional technicians

These can include treatments, procedures or services like piercings, sub-dermal implants, scarification, splitting and others as are performed in the manner and methods independently commissioned in registered contract

-

body modification artist

Biosphere member category

In TOF® a Body Modification Artist member is a Biosphere profile classification, operated by a single individual. This typically references a professional, but not limited to, those performing piercing, body alterations, scarification or suspension services and the like

-

cancel

Dissolve or otherwise terminate contract requirements

A cancel request can be generated by either participant in registered contract. Such cancel request is an attempt to remove themselves from the terms, conditions or responsibilities which were previously entered into during registration of Biosphere contractual documentation

For any number of rationales or reasons the request to cancel may be presented to TOF®, from or between registered participants

-

cancelled

Registered contract is no longer active or scheduled for processing

Cancelled is a status label which is applied to registered collaborative engagement or exchange documentation [contracts], and possibly to TOF® services, when such formally dissolved relationships have been agreed to be revoked or removed by relevant parties

Reasons and rationales as to why such contract or similarly formalized agreements can be cancelled include, but are not limited to:

i) requests by participants that precede completion activity;

ii) Biosphere member's profile account deletion;

iii) inactivity as relates to registered collaborative engagement or exchange;

iv) non-performance or non-communication held as required or a prerequisite of registered successful completion

As confirmed by participants, registered collaborative engagements or exchanges may be classified as cancelled within the appropriate, specified time frames following dual member certification

-

category

Member or user group classifications

Different categories represent distinct Biosphere membership types. Every unique member category has its own customized hypermedia contractual documentation, varied access to functional protections and use of presets, tailored search results, specifically associated keywords including meta-data, certain kinds of map pins as well as other similarly differentiated features that have been customized in accordance to a specific associated area of expertise

For example, hypermedia collaborative engagement documentation templates as available to a Venue category member reference [location reservations] and contain numerous bespoke functional stipulations for such bookings

These are notably different when in comparison to say prepared contractual documentation terms for the Performance Artist category member as the latter may be discussing, searching for and creating significantly different functional forms of collaborative engagements, i.e. performances

Biosphere member categories are broadly segmented into:

Members [clients], including a corporate sub-category, are those Biosphere users whom are believed to primarily be acting as purchasers. These members buy products, services and pay for booked commissions

Artist [creators], is applied to the producing parties and to those providing a service. Artist's can be performing or, more broadly speaking, these are Biosphere users whom actively possess control of their particular offerings and services across any form, method or in any variety of capacities

Providers (services) are those believed to possibly offer a service, location for use, equipment for sale and the like yet may also participate in collaborative engagements and exchange in such a manner that is more akin to a pre-defined service offering as opposed to a direct or artistic commission. This is evidenced by collaborative participants engaged with a provider Biosphere member may often and reasonably expect to be able to find a comparable "alternate provider" as a potential substitute

-

closure

Recorded end to registered collaborative relationship

Closure classification typically follows participant member's confirmation. Closure or being closed signifies that TOF® shall register pertinent documentation, including roles and requirements stipulated therein like transfers and payments or charges of any sort, as having been successfully conducted

No further action by TOF® nor registered participants is held as pending, scheduled or likewise required following closure classification

-

-

code of conduct

Set guidelines defining appropriate, acceptable behavior

These are the principles and roles of collaborative engagement or exchange as enacted between participants. Codes of conduct can apply both to collaborative participant’s digital as well as real world [offline] interactions or activities

A code of conduct may be extrapolated from or reasonably considered to exist by referencing detailed contracts, user generated communications, exchanges or otherwise recorded combinations of such collaborative documentation

-

collaboration

To achieve any chosen shared outcome or goal

In other words, collaboration is the enactment of recorded interactions within functional boundaries, defined through dynamic exchange, so as to describe, determine, control or regulate any type of sale, transaction or agreement during a commission, transaction or comparable purchase that physically or digitally eventuates between such defining members

As to terms and conditions of collaborations, collaborative engagements and all forms of collaborative exchange these set participant’s tangible completion of actions, activities, responsibilities, requirements and the like

Member's collaborations may be partially defined as two or more person’s in cooperative interaction towards fulfilling jointly defined artistic services, treatments, physical items or product delivery roles or responsibilities as may have been independently agreed to

-

collaborating

Actions taken during or for contract

Collaborating is an action term indicating the dynamic exchange as transpiring between two or more members. Contracts shall describe, define, determine, control or otherwise regulate conduct so as to first set and then achieve any type of sale, transaction, agreement, goal or shared purpose

Collaborating can be in reference to interactions, discussions or completion. Collaborating may be any action or exchange, such as communication, reasonably held as being for or contributing to resulting registration of contractual documentation including such purchase and use of TOF® services or Biosphere functions

--

collaborative participants

Members in registered contract, working together

Collaborative participants as a term specifies the two or more people whom are actively, mutually and autonomously engaged in the defining, formulating or execution of jointly agreed contract. Collaborative participants are typically divided into:

i) a purchaser; and

ii) a seller, creator or provider

Collaborative participants typically consist of one recipient and one provider with the terms and functional requirements from the recipient as well as conditions or stipulations of the provider which may potentially still remain to be either defined or completed, in any physically tangible sense

Both types of collaborative participants are engaged in exchange for a specific, defined purpose which can be to realize their shared goal or an as yet to be achieved outcome

Collaborative participant as a title is applied by TOF® to those undertaking preliminary exchange or communication around a shared concept and across to those who have successfully concluded registered contract

At all times members are necessarily acting on their own volition and individually, personally responsible for their real world activities including all results of their actions, however defined or executed

-

community

People using or associated with TOF® services

Those considered part of the TOF® community may be collaborative participants, artists, suppliers, providers, activated members, TOF® employees and the like

-

completion

Fulfillment of set conditions, roles, duties or activities held as required in order to successfully achieve collaboration's purpose

Completion requirements, roles, duties, responsibilities, conduct and the like are specified within registered contract

Achieving completion may be thought of as formal confirmation that such established terms, conditions or responsibilities as independently set between participants have subsequently been successfully fulfilled to participant's mutual satisfaction

TOF® comprehensively holds actions for, towards or pertaining to completion as independently defined and enacted by participants

In good faith, completion activity is, by TOF®, always presumed to be conducted only in the manners held as reasonable, proportionate, appropriate and beyond reproach when seen by any third party or objective review

Completion as a term may be for any productive action as performed which is held as contributing to the execution of jointly defined goals, outcomes, situations, commissions, functions or purchases as set in registered contract, such as in the phrasing ‘working towards completion’

Violations of Terms, registered contract or any comparable and unrelated, unproductive or destructive action that does in part or whole restrict achievement of set goals or results is excluded from 'completion' categorization

As measured through exchange of funds or monies, ‘the completion of collaboration’ can also mean successful, independent execution of payment between collaborative participants

Completion or execution of registered contract and its real world enactment including results and outcomes, or lack thereof, may only be independently reported to TOF® by participants in registered contract

TOF® may have no other methods or means to verify the authenticity of such reports, relying entirely on the information, data and details participants provide

-

completion date

Time that collaboration is set to be concluded or performed

Completion or closure dates trigger TOF® digital security functions for registered contract. Completion dates are set by participants and recorded in registered contract, e.g. 3pm GMT on October 28^th, 2020

In respect to collaborative activities the completion date indicates the time by which participant's mutual and respective responsibilities and terms of collaboration are held as delivered, performed, concluded, received or otherwise finished

-

-

connections

Biosphere profile associations

Connections may be a review, summary or link between member profiles. Connections are created following interaction on The Other Fruit®’s mobile applications, web-applications or websites

For example, a connection or ‘being connected’ may indicate two Biosphere members who previously engaged in collaboration or communicated in some manner or capacity. Or following collaboration participants are invited to enter a star rating indicating subjective feedback. This star rating may then be displayed as a type of connection visible in a profile's map

Visible connections in Biosphere do not reveal collaborative exchange details, discussions between members, previous communications or the like. Connections are not a TOF® endorsement or ranking, by any definition

-

contract

Written, binding and legally enforceable document

Contracts are written forms of documentation held to encompass such terms, conditions, roles, responsibilities, financial and digital security functions or requirements of collaboration that are binding and participants in collaboration. Contracts are created by those who wish to record such mutual intent and engagement so as to define their future actions and for their reference

TOF® contract template documentation is made available to Biosphere members for their independent use. Once templates have been purchased and registered via TOF® services therein collaborative participant’s self-generated terms, conditions, roles and requirements alongside timed digital security functions become legally binding with TOF® authorized, on either participant's behalf, to process specified functions as ordered

-

contract creation charge

TOF®'s direct processing service fee

The contract creation charge is billed once to the purchaser, referred to as the Purchasing Member. It is a one-time fee paid after Biosphere contract template documentation has been modified to the mutual satisfaction of its associated and activated members whom, acting as registered participants in collaborative engagement or exchange, furthermore wish to formally register such to thereby hold each other responsible and legally bound to the terms, conditions and financial functions as detailed therein

-

content

Communications and multimedia

Content includes writing, messages, images, audio or video recordings as either initiated for upload or actually hosted or exchanged in Biosphere. For example, content may refer but is not limited to:

i) text | .TXT | .DOC | .PDF

ii) images | .JPG | .GIF | .PNG

iii) design files | .AI | .IND | .PSD

iv) audio | .MP3 | .FLAC

v) videos | .MP4 | .AVI

These and any multimedia formats, links or imports from external hosts such as Dropbox, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or the like can be content

-

conversion

TOF® processing fee for a total ordered value

Conversion of fiat currencies into a blockchain-based currency may require TOF®'s processing of member transfer and settlement orders. Preceding execution, the receiving member may need to settle associated conversion charges, costs, fees or the like directly with TOF®

Prior to conversion, costs for transitioning amounts between currencies and associated transaction charges are set for member's confirmation

Conversion purchases and transactions as may now or in future be facilitated by TOF®  typically pertain to digital currencies, otherwise known as cryptocurrencies or blockchain-based currencies, which constitute a discrete, billed service for which processing and transfer fees may be owed

-

copyright

A legal right that grants the creator of an original work or content exclusive rights to determine or decide whether, and under what conditions, this original work or content may be used by others

Copyrights may also be connoted with intellectual property rights, titles or assignments. Protected under Hong Kong Law as well as numerous international conventions and treaties, TOF® permits a range of unique content copyright protection service functions

Copyright, Ordinance (Cap. 528 Consolidation), 27/06/1997 (1999), No. 92 (No. 95)

“artistic work” covers member categories including body art 

(a) a graphic work, photograph, sculpture or collage, irrespective of artistic quality; (b) a work of architecture being a building or a model for a building; or (c) a work of artistic craftsmanship; “building” includes any fixed structure, and a part of a building or fixed structure;  “graphic work” includes (a) any painting, drawing, diagram, map, chart or plan; and (b) any engraving, etching, lithograph, woodcut or similar work; “photograph” means a recording of light or other radiation on any medium on which an image is produced or from which an image may by any means be produced, and which is not part of a film; “sculpture” includes a cast or model made for purposes of sculpture. [cf. 1988 c. 48 s. 4 U.K.]

“commissioned works” registered contract can transfer rights

(1) Where a work is made on the commission of a person and there is an agreement between the author and the commissioner of the work which expressly provides for the entitlement to the copyright, copyright in the commissioned work belongs to the person who is entitled to the copyright under the agreement

“infringement by making available of copies to the public” TOF® is a member only, private, digital security platform

(1) the making available of copies of the work to the public is an act restricted by copyright in every description of copyright work. HK Copyright, Ordinance (Cap. 528 Consolidation), 27/06/1997 (1999), No. 92 (No. 95) Page 14 / 166 WIPO Database of Intellectual Property Hong Kong Legislative Texts (2) References in this Part to the making available of copies of a work to the public are to the making available of copies of the work, by wire or wireless means, in such a way that members of the public in Hong Kong or elsewhere may access the work from a place and at a time individually chosen by them (such as the making available of copies of works through the service commonly known as the INTERNET). (3) References in this Part to the making available of copies of a work to the public include the making available of the original. (4) The mere provision of physical facilities for enabling the making available of copies of works to the public does not of itself constitute an act of making available of copies of works to the public

“advertisement of sale of artistic work” TOF® is able to promote member content for and on behalf of members

(1) It is not an infringement of copyright in an artistic work to copy it, or to issue or make available copies to the public, for the purpose of advertising the sale of the work. (2) Where a copy which would otherwise be an infringing copy is made in accordance with this section but is subsequently dealt with, the copy is treated as an infringing copy for the purposes of that dealing if that dealing infringes copyright for all subsequent purposes. For this purpose “dealt with” means sold or let for hire, offered or exposed for sale or hire, exhibited in public or distributed. [cf. 1988 c. 48 s. 63 U.K.]

“requirement that right be asserted” time stamped registration proof through privately secured member profile carrying immutable, coded blockchain authentication as from TOF® thereby generates sufficiently robust documentary evidence. TOF® further may act as a copyright checking facility and medium for privately held verification + display of ownership 

(1) A person does not infringe the right conferred by section 89 (right to be identified as author or director) by doing any of the acts mentioned in that section unless the right has been asserted in accordance with the following provisions so as to bind him in relation to that act. (2) The right may be asserted generally, or in relation to any specified act or description of acts— (a) on an assignment of copyright in the work, by including in the instrument effecting the assignment a statement that the author or director asserts in relation to that work his right to be identified; or (b) by instrument in writing signed by the author or director. (3) The right may also be asserted in relation to the public exhibition of an artistic work— (a) by securing that when the author or other first owner of copyright parts with possession of the original, or of a copy made by him or under his direction or control, the author is identified on the original or copy, or on a frame, mount or other thing to which it is attached; or (b) by including in a licence by which the author or other first owner of copyright authorizes the making of copies of the work a written statement signed by or on behalf of the person granting the licence that the author asserts his right to be identified in the event of the public exhibition of a copy made in pursuance of the license

“copyright vesting in international organizations” TOF® indicates, assigns, transfers or otherwise registers individual's ownership. For owners. Controlled by owners

(1) Where an original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work— (a) is made by an officer or employee of, or is published by, any international organization; and (b) does not qualify for copyright protection under section 178(qualification by reference to author), copyright nevertheless subsists in the work by virtue of this section and the organization is the first owner of that copyright. (2) Copyright of which an international organization is first owner by virtue of this section continues to subsist until the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was made or such longer period as may be specified by the Chief Executive by regulation under subsection (4). (Amended 22 of 1999 s. 3) (3) An international organization is deemed to have, and to have had at all material times, the legal capacities of a body corporate for the purpose of holding, dealing with and enforcing copyright, and in connection with all legal proceedings relating to copyright

-

copyright registration

Creation of registrations and immutable data in blockchain as proof of claim to copyright ownership of specified content

A coded and publicly anonymous process which implements distributed ledger technologies, IPFS encryption and TOF® documentation as made available to the purchaser

The copyright registration charge is a one-time processing fee paid to TOF® after an order form with content attached, intended for entry in blockchain and registration, has been completed to the satisfaction of the purchaser who furthermore wishes for such content and descriptions to be immutably set in distributed ledgers

The copyright registration process results in its purchaser independently holding time-stamped 'block' creation and associated verification with independent responsibility for use. The purchaser has personal responsibility for any visual, thumbnail representation of registered content as placed on its dedicated web address which is a specific URL or results page on TheOtherFruit.io, any hyperlink address preferred for recording and for the use or dissemination of associated IPFS keys

-

-

copyright ownership

Copyrights can be automatically extended onto uploaded content

A member may upload photographs, recordings and various formats of multimedia or data files, including descriptions thereof, of what is as a prerequisite held by TOF® to be their art, work, creation, composition or the like

Such uploaded or exchanged content, declared as owner-controlled, is believed by TOF® to be solely under the uploading member’s full, personal control thus allowing their use or disposal of such as he or she deems fit

-

corporate

Member category for businesses operating a Biosphere profile

Corporate members can include limited corporations, multinational or the like whom may wish to engage in collaborative engagements, exchange and various registered agreements or commissions

Corporate members may have a display name under their brand. For example Apple, Samsung, Louis Vuitton or Chanel. Yet when engaging TOF® services or becoming a participant in registered contract each acts as identifiable, single individual, say the Purchasing Member

-

credit

Monetary amount set for transfer or application

Credit is also possibly referred to as control ownership portions or percentages of RWSC®, it sets a specific figure due either for transfer or processing by TOF® to a receiver

-

display name 

Self-selected profile title

Display names are independently chosen. These set one visible platform-identifier in what may be a name or identifier other than its controlling member's birth or legal name

Display names can be a fictitious moniker, nickname or alias

-

disputes

Written requests for resolution assistance

Disputes are recorded by participants actively engaged in registered contract. Disputes are received, collated, investigated and ruled on by TOF®'s Tribunal department

Disputes may be filed in such cases where either collaborative participant independently believes that he or she is unable to resolve a disagreement, misunderstanding, conflict, that collaboration has reached a practical impasse or faced with similarly complicating and restrictive circumstances

Disputes are filed to seek third party ruling. The process is a form of impartial, binding adjudication, arbitration or mediation

Dispute related data or performance information is controlled by collaborative participant’s and reflected in their recording, documentation and submission of accurate evidence during Tribunal investigation

As detailed within registered contract, the participant's completion related activities, roles, requirements and responsibilities are enacted directly, outside of TOF®'s view, control and influence

-

double confirmation

Member ordered process subsequently re-confirmed by TOF®

TOF® registrations and those of double confirmation may include coded entry in blockchain, such as in The Other Blockchain® and other TOF® controlled DLT networks

Double confirmation may become a publicly recorded, time-stamped, immutable transaction in such ledger entries across distributed ledger technologies which thereby allows future decentralized recall and implementation

-

dual member

Participants respectively confirm independent agreement

Dual member certification records a joint, mutual agreement received from participants and in relation to terms, conditions or details of collaborative engagement, exchange, completion requirements, timing, various intricacies or stipulations and the like pertaining to a registered contract

Dual member certification extends into most any collaboration decisions and activities. It is held to indicate that collaborating parties willfully declare and acknowledge both share the same intentions as to the manner, method, form or mode of proceeding described, outlined, specified or otherwise indicated within relevant documentation

Dual member confirmation may extend to on-Biosphere confirmation, where say an agreement or TOF® order is finalized thereby authorizing fund transfers, digital security functions, registrations or the like. Dual member certification may be required when, but not limited to, such actions as:

i) when a contract has been purchased for registration;

iv) proposed courses of action cannot be reasonably considered as a viable alternate for substitute of registered collaborative engagement or exchange agreement and the like

-

model

Member category for a person who’s look, figure or appearance itself can constitute a service

Documentation of such look, figure or appearance itself can constitutes a service with such likewise held as a valuable deliverable. Recordings or photographs of a Model may be thought of as a form of intellectual property

For example, a Model may be commissioned to be photographed with resulting photos then selected and used to, potentially, enhance or add value to marketing or promotional materials through display or inclusion of photographs depicting Model in said publication

-

open collaborations

Pin containing data of any collaboration concept or idea

Open collaboration pins are posting types which are freely made available for members independent definition, creation, discovery, discussion and selection

For example, an Artist member can describe their ideal future project, place such description with supporting photos in a pin and both become displayed for a set time in a location on Biosphere's global map

This 'open collaboration' pin allows other members review of such data, of the posting Artist's concept. Interested potential collaborative participants may then verify sufficiently available finances to proceed and discuss such posted details directly with the pin's creator

Conversely, in an 'open collaboration' pin a member could describe a style or kind of artwork which they are actively seeking so that an appropriate Artist, with the capacity to fulfill such a request, could contact said posting member for the purpose of defining a future collaboration which ultimately becomes finalized in registered contract. Any such pins are created at the posting member's sole discretion, judgement and responsibility

-

order

Processing of services on behalf of the requesting member

Orders necessarily imply and inherently contain owed amounts as deducted by TOF®. 'Ordered' is where such a request for TOF® services or functions have been received or entered for processing by TOF® yet may require additional time for registration or similar confirmations to be fully completed. Orders are processed in full by TOF® at our reasonably and timely convenience

-

-

payment

Participant's remuneration agreement as in registered contract

Payments can be the cost due for a completed collaboration as independently recorded and exchanged between participants whom are engaged in registered contract. Payments directly relate to the documented costs of registered collaborative activity, independently managed by collaborative participants

-

payment method

Most frequently an activated member's Biosphere payment method is a credit card such as that issued by Visa, American Express or MasterCard. An activated member's payment method can include accounts with various merchants such as PayPal or the like

-

payout

Destinations into which finances are able to be sent for receipt

For example, an activated member may own and operate digital blockchain-based currency wallets, if this is set as a payout channel then this member can receive blockchain-based currencies into such wallet

-

performance

a) show, display, presentation, recital, exhibition or the like that may be in front of an audience; or

b) actions towards fulfillment of registered contract

TOF® differentiates "Collaboration Contracts" from "IP Sales Contracts" as recordings or documentation of [a] performances may result in content which, measured as a discretely identifiable deliverable, remains subject to copyright protections

For example, an artist may conduct a performance on stage at their scheduled event. This artist is able to specify their stage performance as a single collaborative engagement, under one registered contract

During this time the artist’s physical stage performance and completion of registered contract itself is digitally recorded, videoed and photographed. Following artist's performance, these recordings of performance are able to be classified as copyrighted content belonging to artist him or herself

In such case, the artist is able to either include copyrights to their performance recordings within initially registered contract or sell the performance recording's separately. Divisions of performances as billable actions can separate sales of copyright. This extends to "Art/Work" or "Body/Art" or "Work" or "Content"

Examples of this differentiation as relate to other member categories include, but are not limited to;

i) Tattoo Artists may bill once for designing a tattoo composition and then again for design's application on skin and then again for sale for commercial use and design's copyright; or

ii) Models may bill for attending an engagement and then again for copyrights to commercially use recordings of such attendance; or

iii) Body Modification Artists may bill once for completion of a session, a service, and then again for copyrights to commercially use recordings of this session, and so on

-

profile

Digital representation of a member, as visible in Biosphere

Profiles are between one person and recorded with TOF®, these permit Biosphere utilization and purchase of TOF® services. Unique identifications and signature keys are recorded outside of the Biosphere

-

purchasing member

One who buys TOF® services via Biosphere

A Purchasing Member is always one person, he or she is also recognizable or identifiable as being an activated Biosphere member [activated meaning having firstly undergone verification of official, and typically centrally issued such as government, form of identification]

The Purchasing Member relationship is directly between a single, activated Biosphere member with TOF®. Via TOF®, the Purchasing Member is expected to settle amounts owed at the time of order

Registered collaborative participants are responsible for transfer costs relating to transactions or movements of funds, as the Purchasing Member may order. This responsibility extends to all cases, whether such funds are to be received into the Purchasing Member’s registered Biosphere account, via TOF® or sent to an other third party service provider or merchant accounts

-

real world

Differentiates member's physical actions, off-line conduct

The terms real world or tangible reference physical actions or conduct and, as such, these are outside of TOF®'s purview. Irrefutably and by any definition, independent real world actions may not involve TOF® services

For examples, real world actions enacted by a participant can include their physical printing; storing; private filing; non-digital reference to or actual execution of responsibilities detailed within registered contract including their disclosures or references of such to third parties or the like. All such actions fall outside TOF®'s view, responsibility and control

-

real-world smart contract®

TOF®’s bespoke security + utility tokens

The RWSC® is used in processing TOF®’s digital, internally developed systems and are executed across distributed ledger technologies

RWSC® use and processes permit anonymously coded, blockchain enforced transmissions and timed smart-contract functions relating to registered collaborative engagement and exchange contractual documentation thereby enhancing security, exchange or conversion possibilities as through TOF® for registered participants

The RWSC® process may further be utilized independently and adjusted by members. Control ownership of an RWSC® can become transferable, flexibly valued and privately set

The RWSC® process represents a unique implementation of digital security tokens and currencies resulting in, through TOF®, customized and internationally flexible anonymized conversion achievement

-

receiving member

Participant expecting to or has received their purchase or deliverable

In collaborative engagement or exchange the receiving member may be thought of as the commissioner, purchaser or buyer 

The teceiving member may, for example, be expecting to personally take receipt of goods, products or other similar physical items as delivered to an address or to personally undergo a treatment, service, process, procedure or the like which is to be performed by another registered participant

-

registered

Official processing by TOF®

Being in registration describes the  time period when a document, transaction, order, invoice, receipt or the like is scheduled to undergo TOF® processing yet not all necessary steps or actions for such registration have been executed

The registration process is typically held to commence at the time of TOF® service purchase. Execution of associated digital security functions for collaborative engagement documentation, orders and transactions may be included with registration

For example, TOF® registration may include coded entry in blockchain, such as in The Other Blockchain® or other TOF® controlled DLT networks. Double confirmation may become a publicly recorded, time-stamped, immutable transaction in such ledger entries across distributed ledger technologies to thereby allow future, decentralized recall and implementation
