TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ACQUIRING BTE TOKENS

Note: These terms apply to “BTE” Tokens (ticker: BTE) only and do not apply to any other Barteos Tokens or digital currency used as barter or rewards currency.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SALE CAREFULLY. BY ATTEMPTING TO PURCHASE OR PURCHASING BARTEOS BTE TOKENS, YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS, YOU WILL BE ENTERING INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT WITH BARTEOS GLOBAL LLC. THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS CONTAIN PROVISIONS THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. NOTE THAT SECTION 15 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION SECTION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS, DO NOT EXCHANGE BARTEOS TOKENS WITH YOUR BITCOIN OR ETHEREUM AND NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THE BARTEOS WEBSITE. BARTEOS CAN ONLY BE SWAPPED FOR BTC OR ETH TOKENS AND NO FIAT CURRENCY IS ALLOWED.

These Terms & Conditions and any terms expressly incorporated herein (the “Agreement”) govern the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by you (“Acquirer” or “you”) of the Barteos ‘BTE’ Tokens distributed on the Barteos Blockchain (the “Barteos Tokens”) and managed by BARTEOS GLOBAL LLC (company id:2023-001375251) of 1309 Coffeen Avenue Ste 1200 Sheridan Wyoming 82801 USA (“Barteos”, “Company”, “us”, “our” or “we” or “Manager”) on behalf of the Satoshai Foundation and the De-centralised Autonomous System (the “DAS”) during the pre-open-exchange listing period (the “Pre-IEO Period”).

The Acquirer and Barteos are herein referred to individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”. There may be other entities within the Barteos group from time to time (“Barteos Entities”) that will market, promote, develop, manage and/or operate the Barteos Platform (as defined in Section 1.2 below) (or parts thereof) and references in these Terms & Conditions to Barteos shall be to Barteos, the Barteos Entities and their respective successors and assigns.

De-centralised Autonomous System (“DAS”):

The Barteos Network of associated computers and people promoting the Barteos ecosystem are controlled by a De-centralised Autonomous System, a framework in which the crypto-currency industry looks at the possibilities of self-functioning and autonomous de-centralised blockchain technology, whereby no one Authourising entity controls the DAS. Still, everyone can own some of its Tokens.

At the head of this autonomous technology, is an Artificial Intelligence system (named “SATOSHAI”) being built as a governance system. Satoshai is an experimental hybrid artificial intelligence system integrated with human-assisted learning in all disciplines required to develop, operate, promote and administrate a global token system like Barteos. SATOSHAI will ultimately decide on the governance and future direction of the global Barteos Token (BTE) and allow Barteos Members and Authorisers to contribute to Authorising transactions in a de-centralised way, whereby no one Authourising entity controls the Blockchain and Ledger.

Like Bitcoin, Barteos itself is actually a DAS and demonstrates the beauty of Blockchain Technology and De-centralisation in its purest form. The Barteos Software platform is programmed in such a way that there has a budget for Business Developers and Contributors, all written in code, operating autonomously.

Satoshai Foundation: The Satoshai Foundation is a Global Association of technologists, entrepreneurs, business owners, marketers, and crypto-enthusiasts managed by its IP owner, Barteos Global LLC (USA). The Association is an informal Community Association of a group of Barteos Token owners with a shared interest and purpose, primarily advancing the usage of Barteos and the crypto-currency markets.

The Satoshai Foundation has activities relating to a Token System, including but not limited to: Interaction with Token Stakeholders, Research and Token Development, Developer Management and Recruitment, Token Partner Alliance Development, Jurisdictional Compliance and Governance of Token System, Security Systems, Token Marketing & Advertising, Strategic Alliances, Exchange Token Listing & Management and PR-Social Media Interaction. The association is a crypto-community of Token users and members that are dedicated to the advancement of crypto-currency for the General Public to use on a global scale and may become formally incorporated at any time without notice in a jurisdiction of its choosing.

5.2. Notwithstanding Section 5.1, Smart Asset or Smart Contract technology is still in an early stage of development and its application is currently of an experimental nature, which carries significant performance, operational, technological, financial, regulatory and reputational risks. Accordingly, while any internal audit conducted shall raise the level of security and accuracy of the Smart Asset or Smart Contract System, you acknowledge, understand and accept that the audit does not amount to any form of warranty, representation or assurance (in each case whether express or implied) that the Smart Asset or Smart Contract System and Barteos Tokens are fit for a particular purpose or that they are free from any defects, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, viruses or bugs which could cause, inter alia, the complete loss of ETH and/or BTC contributions and/or Barteos Tokens.

Token Functionality

11.1. Ownership of Barteos Tokens carries no rights, whether express or implied, other than a limited potential future right or expectation to use and interact with the Barteos Platform as made available from time to time. Any potential future right or expectation relating to the provision and receipt of services on the Barteos Platform shall be subject to any restrictions and limitations set out in these Terms & Conditions and/or the Platform Terms and Policies (as applicable).

Barteos makes no warranties or representations and oﬀers no assurances (in each case whether express or implied) that Barteos Tokens shall confer any actual and/or exercisable rights of use, functionality, features, purpose or attributes in connection with the Barteos Platform.
Intended functionality of Barteos Tokens

Barteos BTE Tokens will be an essential exchange crypto utility for users of the Barteos Trade Dollar Rewards Platform as they will enable interaction within the Barteos Trade Dollars between countries and will act as the main exchange cryptocurrency of the Barteos global ecosystem. Barteos Tokens eﬀectively operate as an “in-app currency”, the sole purpose of which is to allow users to participate on the Barteos Platform.

It is envisaged that users of the Barteos Platform will be able to, but not limited to, undertake the following tasks using Barteos BTE Tokens:

Exchange BTE to country related ‘Trade Dollars’ for paying for Goods and Services from Members of the Global Trade Dollar Rewards Association and listed at barteos.shop;
Transferring Tokens to Exchanges for the purpose of trading in cryptocurrencies or other digital currency;
Transferring Tokens to other Members with accounts for gifting purposes;
Paying for services conducted by Barteos in regard to the Blockchain.

Barteos BTE Tokens do not have any functionality or utility outside the Barteos Platform and trade ecosystem. The functionality and utility of Barteos Tokens will therefore be limited to interacting with users/content within the confines of a single platform. Barteos Tokens will not have any functionality or utility outside the Barteos Platform other than cryptocurrency exchanges, if and when listed. It is therefore intended that Barteos Tokens will continuously circulate within the Barteos Platform ecosystem of users.

The Barteos Platform will therefore be structured as a “closed loop system” insofar as the use of Barteos Tokens is concerned. Whilst it is possible that a secondary market could develop for trading Barteos Tokens with other digital currency exchanges, Barteos will not create such secondary markets nor will it act as an exchange for Barteos Tokens. To the extent a secondary market or exchange for trading Barteos Tokens does develop, it would be run and operated wholly independently of Barteos, the Barteos Token Sale and the Barteos Platform.

Possibility of change to the intended functionality of Barteos Tokens

PLEASE NOTE THAT AS EACH COUNTRY OPENS FOR BUSINESS USING TRADE TOKENS, BARTEOS WILL UNDERTAKE A LEGAL AND REGULATORY ANALYSIS OF THE FUNCTIONALITY OF BARTEOS TRADE TOKENS IN THE JURISDICTIONS WE INTEND ON TRADING. FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THIS ANALYSIS, WE MAY DECIDE TO AMEND THE INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY OF BARTEOS TRADE TOKENS IN THAT COUNTRY OR GLOBALLY WITH THE INTENTION THAT BARTEOS TRADE TOKENS WERE MEANT FOR THE TRADE OF ASSETS, GOODS AND SERVICES AND THIS GIVES BTE TOKEN ITS INHERENT VALUE. IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LEGAL OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS TO WHICH WE ARE SUBJECT. WE SHALL PUBLISH A NOTICE ON OUR WEBSITE OF ANY CHANGES THAT WE DECIDE TO MAKE TO THE FUNCTIONALITY OF BARTEOS TOKENS AND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REGULARLY CHECK OUR WEBSITE FOR ANY SUCH NOTICES. ON THE CONLCUSION OF THIS ANALYSIS, WE WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO CHANGE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF BARTEOS TOKENS.

EXHIBIT B

Certain Risks Associated with the Acquisition, Sale and Use of Barteos Tokens and Use of the Barteos Smart Contracts or Smart Assets.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Barteos Tokens are not being structured or sold as securities or as any other form of investment product. Accordingly, none of the information presented in this Exhibit B is intended to form the basis for any investment decision, and no specific recommendations are intended.

By acquiring, holding and using Barteos Tokens, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following risks:

Risk of Losing Access to Barteos Tokens Due to Loss of Recovery Keys(s).

Barteos Tokens purchased by you may be held in a digital wallet or vault, which requires a private key or a combination of private keys for access. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with your digital wallet or vault storing Barteos Tokens will result in loss of such Barteos Tokens, as well as access to your Barteos Token balance. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet or vault service you use, may be able to misappropriate your Barteos Tokens. Barteos is not responsible for any such losses.

Risks Associated with the Barteos Protocol.

Because Barteos Tokens are based on the Barteos protocol, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of, or attack on, the Barteos protocol and the Blockchain may have a material adverse eﬀect on the Barteos Tokens. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to the Barteos Tokens by rendering ineﬀective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Barteos protocol. Upgrades by Barteos to the Barteos platform, a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Barteos platform may have unintended adverse eﬀects on Barteos Tokens. The Barteos Blockchain is at an early stage of development, and it is not fully known whether the Barteos Blockchain will be able to sustain long-term operation of large-scale transaction.

Unknown Impact of Proposed Changes to Barteos.

The Satoshai Foundation has laid out a road map for the improvement and further development of the original graphene blockchain code. While some of the future proposals oﬀer promises to better the Blockchain, it is uncertain when these new improvements will be introduced and whether they will be successful. In particular, proposals to greatly increase blockchain security and jurisdictional compliance is, at the time of the Barteos Token Sale, not imminent. A proposal to add and change the consensus and transaction process from the current Delegated Proof-of-Stake algorithm to a Delegated Proof-of-Authourity (DPoA) algorithm will have a yet-to-be-seen impact for the Barteos network.

Prices for Transactions.

All transactions over the Barteos Blockchain, including the transfer of Barteos Tokens, have a real- world cost. While at this point in time, transaction prices for basic transactions over the Barteos network are nominal, there is no certainty that transaction prices will not increase, in order to make the validating and authourising of transactions trading of Barteos Tokens over the Barteos de-centralised Blockchain commercially feasible.

Barteos Blockchain May be Superseded.

While today, in our view, the Barteos Blockchain technology presents the most promising advances in blockchain technology, there is no guarantee that Barteos will not be supplanted by competing protocols that improve upon the Barteos technology. The Graphene and Barteos Blockchain technology is open-source, meaning that anyone can copy and disseminate the same code with modifications. It is not known whether the Barteos platform will become the predominant protocol adopted globally by the industry. If Barteos is surpassed or superseded with new open source technology, then Barteos may adopt such new technology if Barteos in its sole discretion deems that the impact of such technology would create a decline in Barteos usage or if the Barteos Token usage and adoption declines as a result on new technology released in the market.

Blockchain Changes and Timing.

On the Barteos Blockchain, timing of block production is set to 3 seconds determined by DPoA consensus protocol so block production can occur at fixed times. The Barteos Blockchain may be prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or even lost and in such circumstances and Barteos may change timing of Block production. Acquirer acknowledges and understands that Barteos and its block producers are not liable if any technology failures and losses that may arise from such.

Risk of Hacking and Security Weakness.

Barteos Tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Barteos Blockchain or Smart Contracts or the Barteos Tokens in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Barteos platform rests on open-source software and Barteos Tokens are based on open-source software, there is the risk that Barteos Blockchain may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively aﬀect the Barteos Tokens or result in the loss of Acquirer’s Barteos Tokens, the loss of Acquirer’s ability to access or control Acquirer’s Barteos Tokens. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and holders of Barteos Tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund, or compensation.

Uncertain Regulatory Framework.

The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens, digital assets and blockchain technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is diﬃcult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. It is likewise diﬃcult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will aﬀect cryptographic tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology, and its applications. Such changes could negatively impact Barteos Tokens in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that Barteos Tokens are regulated financial instruments that require registration or through the imposition of onerous liquidity requirements. Barteos may cease the distribution of Barteos Tokens, the development of the Barteos Platform, or cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so.

Legal and Regulatory Factors Relating to Our Business Model Might Present Barriers to Success.

Barteos operates in a new and developing legal and regulatory environment concerning initial token sales, blockchain and smart contracts. There is no established body of law or court decisions in any country concerning blockchain and smart contracts, and the law regarding initial token sales is developing. As a result, it is possible that there could be legal disputes over the interpretation of smart contracts between members of the Barteos community, thus undermining the attractiveness of smart contracts to Barteos users. Further, it is diﬃcult to predict how regulators and lawmakers might respond to the use of smart locks and smart contracts in rental relationships.

Moreover, the crowdsourced security deposit network or other aspects of the platform could face regulatory scrutiny or could be determined by regulators to be subject to currently existing or future licensing and/or registration requirements in one or more jurisdictions. To the extent licenses or other authorisations are required in one or more jurisdictions in which Barteos operates or will operate, there is no guarantee we will be granted such licenses or authorisations. We may also need to change our business model to comply with these licensing and/or registration requirements. Uncertainty in how the legal and regulatory environment will develop could negatively impact Barteos’s business operations and revenue streams, thus posing a risk to the usefulness of the Barteos Tokens you purchased in the Barteos Token Sale.

Risk of Government Action.

While we do not believe the sale of Barteos Tokens constitutes a public oﬀering of securities in those jurisdictions where the oﬀering is being made, this conclusion may not be the case. In addition, public policy towards token sales is evolving, and it is conceivable that regulators may in the future seek to broaden the scope of regulation of token sales. If the Barteos Token Sale becomes subject to registration, prospectus or licensing requirements in a particular jurisdiction, we may be found liable if we have not complied with the applicable registration, prospectus or licensing requirements, and this would delay or potentially postpone the proposed Barteos Token Sale indefinitely. The use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency in the trading of goods and services is relatively in its infancy and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not examine the operations of Barteos and/or pursue enforcement actions against Barteos. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting Barteos in particular. All of this may subject Barteos to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause Barteos to restructure its operations and activities or to cease oﬀering certain products or services, all of which could harm Barteos’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may, in turn, have a material adverse eﬀect on the Barteos Tokens and/or the Barteos Platform.

Risk of Fluctuation of Bitcoin Ethereum or other Currency.

Proceeds of the sale of Barteos Tokens will be denominated in BTC and ETH and may be converted into other cryptographic or fiat currencies. If the value of ETH or other currencies fluctuates unfavourably during or after the Pre-IEO Period, Barteos may not be able to fund development in the manner that is intended.

Lack of Interest.

A lack of use or public interest in the Barteos Platform could negatively impact the potential utility of Barteos Tokens.

Barteos is Unable to Implement its Future Model.

Barteos’s model is a startup and as such has no track record and has assembled a team to grow Barteos that may or may not be successful in its sales and marketing initiatives. However, it is also possible that Barteos will not be able to effectively or successfully implement future components of its model, such as govt compliance systems, artificial intelligence system, stabilisation of retail trading, to name a few new innovations. If Barteos is unable to operationalise these features, or the market does not respond positively to them, some or all of the usefulness of the Barteos Tokens you purchased in the Barteos Token Sale may be at risk, despite any corrective actions Barteos may take.

Ability to Transact or Resell.

You may be unable to sell or otherwise transact in Barteos Tokens at any time, or for the price you paid. You acknowledge, understand and agree that: (a) Barteos Tokens may have no value; (b) there is no guarantee or representation of liquidity for Barteos Tokens; and (c) Barteos is not responsible for the market value of Barteos Tokens, the transferability and/or liquidity of Barteos Tokens and/or the availability of any market or exchange for Barteos Tokens through third parties or otherwise.

Barteos Tokens are Non-Transferable Until Pre-IEO period ends.

You acknowledge and understand that Barteos Tokens are not transferable until after the end of the Initial Token Pre-IEO Period. You further acknowledge and understand that Barteos reserves the right to terminate the sale process at any time and withdraw any unsold Barteos Tokens from the Barteos Token Sale. Once the Barteos Token Sale has been stopped and subject to applicable vesting periods, Barteos Tokens will become transferable, although this does not mean there will be a market through which you can transfer them.

Barteos May Modify or Stop the Sale at Any Time.

Acquirer acknowledges and understands that Barteos may modify the timing, sale price, and number of Barteos Tokens available for sale at any time during the Pre-IEO Period. Acquirer further acknowledges and understands that Barteos reserves the right to terminate the sale process at any time and withdraw any unsold Barteos Tokens from the sale process. If the sale process has been stopped prematurely, Barteos Tokens purchased by Acquirer may not be transferable.

Sending Tokens from Exchange and Counterparty Risks.

If you send BTC or ETH to the Barteos BTC or ETH wallets from an exchange or account that you do not control, pursuant to the Barteos Token Sale, Barteos Tokens may be allocated to the cryptocurrency account that has sent BTC and ETH; therefore, you may never receive or be able to recover your Barteos Tokens. By using the Barteos Token swaps system, and/or by acquiring Barteos Tokens, you acknowledge and agree that you will not send BTC and ETH to the Barteos wallets direct through an exchange account and/or if you do pay for Barteos Tokens direct from on a cryptocurrency exchange or with another third party, you do so at your own and sole risk.

Other Risks Associated With The Barteos Token Sale.

Risks include turnover in a company’s management team, volatility in cryptocurrency markets, the possibility of increasing regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges, the potential for a post-facto government investigation of a token sale, suboptimal ability of participants to conduct due diligence on a company undertaking a token sale, and other risks. Potential token buyers should weigh these risks against the possible future benefits before deciding to participate in the Barteos Token Sale.

Taxation Risks.

The use of Barteos Tokens as a form of settlement currency may or may not be subject to local income tax, capital gain taxes, VAT, GST, or other forms of taxes. This uncertainty in tax legislation may expose merchants and customers alike to unforeseen future tax consequences associated with the use of Barteos Tokens as a settlement currency, and/or the trading of Barteos Tokens for capital gains.

Capital Control Risks.

Many jurisdictions, such as China, impose strict controls on the cross-border flow of capital. Holders of Barteos Tokens may be subject to these regulations and/or arbitrary enforcement of such regulations at any time. This would make the transfer of Barteos Tokens out of the local jurisdiction to overseas exchanges an unlawful activity exposing the user of Barteos Tokens to government fines or other regulatory sanction.

Countering the Financing of Terrorism (“CFT”) and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) Regulations. The United States has issued a series of regulations to combat terrorist financing and money- laundering activities. Many other countries have enacted similar legislation to control the flow of capital for such illicit activities. In the event that licenses, registrations, or other authorisations are required under applicable CFT and/or AML regulations in a Jurisdiction to operate the Barteos Platform, there is no guarantee that Barteos will be able to successfully obtain such authorisations. In addition, any illicit use of the Barteos Tokens by bad actors could breach such regulations and seriously impact the global reputation of the Barteos Platform. In such event, it is conceivable that this could trigger scrutiny by CFT and AML regulators and potentially cause significant disruption to the distribution and circulation of Barteos Tokens.
Changes to the Barteos Platform.

Although Barteos intends for the Barteos Platform to have the features and specifications set forth in the White Paper, Barteos may make changes to such features and specifications for any number of reasons.

Reliance on Third Parties.

Barteos anticipates relying on third parties to develop and build out the Platform. Barteos may be unable to retain third parties with the requisite expertise, and those it does retain may not adequately perform their obligations under an agreement with Barteos.

Risks Associated with Barteos’s Business.

Barteos’s success depends on its continued innovation to provide new, and improve upon existing technology and services that make its Platform useful for users. As a result, Barteos must continually invest significant resources in research and development to improve the attractiveness and comprehensiveness of its products and services and eﬀectively incorporate new mobile, internet, blockchain and other technologies into them. If Barteos is unable to continue oﬀering high-quality, innovative products and services, it may be unable to attract additional users or retain current users, which could harm the Barteos cryptocurrency ecosystem, results of operations and financial condition of the Satoshai Foundation .

In addition, Barteos’s success depends on its ability to continue to attract users to its Platform and enhance their engagement with Barteos’s Blockchain. Barteos’s existing and potential competitors include, but are not limited to, companies that operate, or could develop international, national and trade exchange systems. These companies could devote greater technical and other resources than Barteos has available, have a more accelerated timeframe for deployment and leverage their existing user bases and proprietary technologies to provide products and services that users might view as superior to Barteos’s oﬀerings. If users begin to access e-commerce through other media and Barteos fails to innovate, results of growth operations and Token Value may be negatively impacted. Any of Barteos’s future or existing competitors may introduce diﬀerent solutions that attract users or provide solutions similar to Barteos’s but with better branding or marketing resources. If Barteos is not able to continue to attract users to its Platform, Barteos’s business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed.

Finally, the merchants and shoppers that are the potential users of the Barteos Platform are aﬀected by local, regional, national and international economic conditions and other events and occurrences that aﬀect the market for trading. A protracted decline in economic conditions will cause downward pressure on Barteos’s usage as a result of lower activity in the market.

Unanticipated Risks.

Cryptographic tokens such as Barteos Tokens are a new business model and technology on a large scale. In addition to the risks included in this Exhibit B, there are other risks associated with your Acquisition, holding and use of Barteos Tokens, including those that Barteos and the Satoshai Foundation cannot anticipate.
