A. PARTICIPATION IN THE PCN PRIVATE CURRENCY NETWORK

 

1)NATURE OF THE PARTIES

a)The Exchange is an association of businesses, consumers, and professionals, non-profit groups, who have joined together to use their goods and services among themselves through an organized system which is regulated by the record keeping and administrative services of PCN or its designee. The Exchange functions as a clearinghouse for the trade transactions of its membership. We are a processor of the transactions and not a principle in transaction.

 

b)PCN is the manager of the Exchange.  PCN acts as a third party record keeper and administers the clearinghouse function of the Exchange for members of the association who subscribe to PCN's record keeping and administrative services.  PCN may, in its sole and absolute discretion, contract with others to provide all or part of such record keeping and administrative services.

 

c)Client warrants that it is a bona fide and legal business that desires to exchange its goods and/or services with other members of the Exchange and hereby subscribes to PCN's record keeping and transaction processing and or related services. Client can also be a sponsored member of a member in good standing. 

 

2)SALES; SURCHARGE Client agrees to sell its goods and/or services for PCN Dollars at the same price it sells for cash and on the same priority given cash customers, but may exclude 'sale' items.  (The term "Trade Dollar" is defined in Paragraph D-1 herein.)  Client may go on reserve status with respect to the goods or services offered by Client; ONLY during the period Client maintains a trade balance which exceeds 25,000.00 PCN Dollars.  The Client must notify the PCN office of the reserve status as soon as the company intends to go on reserve.  "Reserve status" means that upon exceeding a trade balance of 25,000.00 PCN Dollars, Client may, but is not obligated to inform other clients who call for goods or services that Client is on reserve status and will not be accepting PCN Dollars at the present time.  In the case of a single transaction exceeding 2, 500.00 PCN Dollars, buyer and seller MAY negotiate for a portion of the excess of the price over 2, 500.00 PCN Dollars to be paid in cash.  However, members cannot advertise products or services that include cash cost of more than 40% of the amount in excess of 2000.00.  For example if a member offers a service for 3000.00 the cash cost cannot be more than 400.00 (3000 – 2000) * 40%.

3)CONTINUING SERVICES FEES Client will pay PCN continuing service fees for record keeping and administrative services. These fees are:

a.Association Fees: $24.95 cash and 10.00 PCN Dollars are charged to Client's account each calendar month accounting cycle ("Cycle"). Trade Dollar fees are automatically deducted from Client's account.

b.Purchase Fee/Sales Fee: Clients who remit fees on open billing pay seven and one-half percent (7.5%) cash on purchases and seven and one-half percent (7.5%) cash on sales.  Clients who are Preferred Members based on agreeing to pay cash fees with an approved major credit card or through electronic funds transfer (EFT) on a continuing basis are charged five percent (5%) cash on purchases and five percent (5%) cash on sales.  The Purchase/Sales Fees will be charged on the full amount of transactions, including the cash portion of an authorized part trade/part cash transaction.

c.Purchase Fee Out of PCN: An additional cash fee of three percent (3%) of the transaction amount shall be assessed on Client purchases made outside the PCN system in which Client resides or does business.

d.Trade Dollar Overdraft Fee: If purchases and trade dollar fees exceed sales, (negative trade balance), a trade dollar overdraft fee of one and one-half percent (1½%) per Cycle, or the maximum rate permitted by law, in cash, will be charged on the amount by which purchases and trade fees assessed exceed sales.

e.Cash Dollar Overdraft Fee: A cash overdraft fee of one and one-half percent (1½%) per Cycle, or the maximum rate permitted by law, in cash, will be charged on cash fees due on Client's account and not received by PCN within one (1) Cycle of Statement date.

f.Conversion Services Fees: If Client is converting to PCN from another Trade Network, additional service fees may be assessed according to the PCN Conversion Rules which are in addition to the terms in Paragraphs 3(a) through (e) above.

g.Cash fees are due and payable upon receipt of statement, unless Client is a Preferred Member in which case payment is automatically deducted.  Cash fees are to be sent to the PCN corporate office, not to the DoBarter office.

4)PAYMENT OF FEES All fees and charges that Client pays PCN are for services rendered in processing clients into the Exchange, maintaining records, operating the clearinghouse, administering the Trading Rules, and facilitating Client's use of the Exchange.  If cash fees are past due beyond one billing cycle, Client waives all rights to the use of any positive Trade Dollar balance in Client's account and grants PCN the right to freeze the balance until fees are paid.

 

5)TRADING ASSISTANCE PCN will use its best efforts to assist Clients to trade among themselves by, among other things, distributing client directories; maintaining current member information on computer files; appointing, at PCN's discretion, independent persons or entities as local offices to provide information on clients' goods and services available through the Exchange; and through PCN Online, an Internet-based trade information network.  Client acknowledges that the sole principals in any Exchange transaction are the buying and selling Clients involved, that transactions are entered into voluntarily, and neither PCN nor the Exchange is a guarantor of any transaction or Trade Dollar.  PCN will use its best efforts to record trades accurately, to administer the Trading Rules in accordance with their terms, and to assist in the sale of Client's goods and services to other PCN clients.  However, the initiative for using PCN's services for economic benefit is exclusively that of the Client and neither PCN nor the Exchange guarantees or warrants any level of business through the Exchange.

 

6)AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PCN shall use its best efforts to enroll new businesses with products and services to meet the needs of clients.  Neither PCN nor the Exchange is responsible if Client cannot find specific products or services or customers for their products and services within the Exchange.

 

7)DEFINITION OF "CLIENT IN GOOD STANDING" A Client who complies with the current Trading Rules and any other agreements in effect with PCN, who is current in the payment of any cash or PCN Dollars owing to PCN and who has a valid Client account, is a "Client in Good Standing".  Only Clients in Good Standing are entitled to the services of PCN and the Exchange.

 

8)ADVERTISING AUTHORIZATION Unless PCN is otherwise notified in writing, Client authorizes PCN to inform other clients of the availability of Client's products or services. This includes listings in local, regional or national directories.  PCN is neither a party to these sales listings nor responsible for their accuracy.  Any inaccuracies should be reported to PCN, in writing, immediately.

 

9)MARKETING AUTHORIZATION Client authorizes PCN to use a description of the transactions it engages in through the PCN system in its advertising and promotion to other members, potential members or general public.  PCN must be notified in writing if a member wishes to maintain anonymity with regard to its company name in said advertising.

 

B. TRADE TRANSACTIONS

 

1.TRANSACTION MATERIAL The following may be used in PCN trade transactions:

 

a.If Client is so authorized by PCN, electronic posting or auto-posting

c.Online through member’s account

 

2)PCN DRAFT PROCEDURE PCN will guarantee the crediting of PCN  drafts only when the procedures outlined below are followed:

b)International or out of area transactions, that is, transactions in which the buyer and seller are account holders under different country codes, the countries involved will have been assigned a reciprocal account and/or line of credit.  If the reciprocal account balance or credit line is exceeded for a particular country, PCN, in its sole discretion, may decline to authorize an International Transaction out of area transaction involved therewith even if the accounts of the individual clients involved may otherwise be in a status permitting such transaction.

3) RECORD KEEPING PCN will issue periodic statements to Client reflecting account activity and amounts due and owing to PCN.  Statements are deemed accurate as printed unless Client notifies the PCN corporate office, in writing, of any discrepancy within thirty (30) days of statement date.  No reversals will be entered on an account after one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the disputed transaction.  Interim account activity summaries may be requested at any time at no charge.  Clients requesting copies of processed PCN drafts will be charged $3.00 cash research fee per copy, unless the examination reveals an accounting error.  NSF cash check returns will be charged $30.00 cash per incident, or the maximum allowed by law, against the originating account.  NSF PCN drafts will be charged 30.00 PCN Dollars against the originating account.  PCN operates on a calendar month accounting cycle. Transactions entered through a PCN internet transactions are posted automatically. It is the sole responsibility of the Seller to maintain any written documentation of the transaction (contract, invoice, etc.), including an authorizing signature from the Buyer, in case of dispute.  If no signed authorization from the Buyer is kept, the transaction may be reversed at the Buyer's written request but not after 120 days from the date of the transaction.  PCN   three-part vouchers may be used to record the Buyer's transaction and signature, but MUST NOT be submitted to PCN if the transaction has been posted by POS transactions, unless specifically requested by PCN.  PCN has the right but not the obligation to reverse transactions due to non-compliance with these Rules or failure to provide goods or services, in which event it will be the Seller's responsibility to collect from the Buyer.  Transactions are subject to final audit and verification by PCN and, in case of inaccuracies, or non-compliance, PCN may debit or credit Client's account without notice.

 

4)SPECIAL TRADE PROCEDURE the following applies to transactions involving special or long distance orders, construction jobs, service work, long term leases and other work-in-progress transactions: Trade Dollar transactions should be conducted in the same manner as cash transactions.  For instance, Buyer should consider obtaining a written estimate or description of product and price before authorizing work to begin or shipments to be made.  Before starting or shipping, Seller should consider obtaining a deposit or down-payment in PCN Dollars in the same manner as a seller would in a cash transaction.  The Funds-In-Transfer (FIT) Program has been designed to assist clients with transactions in excess of 1,500.00 PCN Dollars or those transactions that require more time than the PCN authorization process allows (14 days). The FIT Program is designed to assure the Seller that Buyer funds have been set aside for the specific transaction.  A  PCN draft and FIT Initiation Form must be submitted to PCN before funds may be deposited into a FIT account. Before funds can be released from a FIT account a completed and signed FIT Release Form must be submitted to PCN.  FIT program is only available for transactions between two local area members.  There is no escrow system for out of area members.  Any required cash payments, e.g. shipping or tax, are the sole responsibility of the Buyer and Seller, and are not the responsibility of PCN.  PCN's only responsibility is to record transactions according to the guidelines outlined above and PCN is not responsible for the interpretation or fulfillment of any of the obligations of the buyer and seller.

10)DISPUTES

 

a)Transaction disputes concerning the quality or nature of goods or services purchased are between the Buyer and Seller ONLY, and PCN has no responsibility in connection therewith other than recording transactions.  Buyers should exercise the same discretion in inspecting goods, insuring delivery, etc. in trade transactions as they do in cash transactions.  PCN is not responsible for use of PCN Dollars by unauthorized persons or for transactions that do not comply with the PCN Trading Rules.  PCN is not a buyer or seller unless it so states in writing.

C. ADMINISTRATION OF THE EXCHANGE AND ITS PCN DOLLARS

 

1.NATURE OF PCN DOLLARS A "trade" is a purchase or sale of goods or services through the Exchange using the medium of the PCN Trade Dollar.  Payment is made by posting debits and credits to the buying and selling Clients' respective accounts, pursuant to these Rules.  A "Trade Dollar" is an accounting unit used to record the value of trades determined by the selling Client.  PCN Dollars denote the right to receive goods or services available from other Exchange clients, or the obligation to provide goods or services to other Exchange clients.  PCN Dollars will not be redeemed for cash by PCN.  PCN Dollars may be used only in the manner and for the purposes set forth in these Rules.  PCN Dollars are not legal tender, securities, or commodities and may not be bought or sold for cash.  PCN Dollars in international transactions will be tendered at the prevailing international rate of exchange at the time of the transaction.  PCN disclaims any and all responsibility for the negotiability of PCN Dollars or for the availability of goods or services from any source.

 

2.LIABILITY FOR PCN DOLLARS Client acknowledges that PCN Dollars in the Exchange (positive balances) are the liabilities of clients who have spent more than their sales, resulting in negative balances in their accounts; that there is a creditor/debtor relationship in the Exchange as a whole between such persons, and that trade transactions incur the normal business risks associated with any purchase and sale transaction.  PCN Dollars are solely the liability of Clients who owe PCN Dollars to the Exchange and are not the liability of the Exchange or PCN.

 

3.EXCHANGE OPERATIONS AND BAD DEBT RESERVE An Exchange Operations and Bad Debt Reserve Fund shall be maintained to cover (a) expenses of administering Exchange operations and (b) bad debts for which clients are collectively liable.  PCN Dollars making up the Fund shall accrue from charges to client accounts for this purpose, from fees and interest on trade loans, from any positive balances abandoned or surrendered by former clients in accordance with this Agreement, from collections of charged-off accounts, and from any unspent positive balances left in the Prepaid PCN draft's Fund at the end of each fiscal year.  All funds in this account shall be the property of the clients of the Exchange collectively.  Client grants to PCN the right and power to assess a reasonable service fee for its administration of Exchange operations, which assessment, if made, shall be paid from the Exchange Operations Fund on a schedule determined by PCN.  Client further grants to PCN the right and power to determine whether the funds in the Bad Debt Reserve Fund are in excess of anticipated need, and if so, at PCN's sole discretion, to distribute any surplus to Clients in Good Standing in accordance with such definitions and formula that PCN may determine.

 

4.TRADE DOLLAR EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT

 

a.Client grants to PCN the right to make Trade Dollar Extensions of Credit, either in the form of loans or lines of credit, on behalf of the Exchange to any client on terms and conditions consistent with that client's credit worthiness and ability to repay.  Client understands that Trade Dollar credit is extended by the Exchange clients collectively, and not by PCN.  Client grants to PCN the right and power to administer credit operations on behalf of the Exchange, and to charge reasonable fees for this service.  The interest earned on credit extended by the Exchange clients is the property of the Exchange and will be added to the Exchange Operations or Bad Debt Reserve Fund, as set forth in paragraph D.3 above.  Client understands and acknowledges that all aspects of Trade Dollar Extensions of Credit are within the sole discretion of PCN.  Clients wishing to apply for credit may be required to submit a loan application, financial statement, credit agreements, promissory note, provide collateral or to prepay cash service fees prior to approval.  PCN and the Exchange are under no obligation to extend credit at any time.  PCN will use its best efforts to ensure timely repayment of principal and interest through appropriate perfection and foreclosure of security interests.

b.Client grants PCN the right to extend loans in PCN Dollars on behalf of the Exchange to Private Currency Network owner operators who wish to endorse the conversion of their members' trade credits into PCN Dollars. Client acknowledges that such conversions are designed to improve membership growth and to increase available PCN Dollars in order to benefit the Exchange.  Conversion loans are made predicated on pay-back analysis only and not on specific collateral.

 

5.ALLOCATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES Client acknowledges that regulation of purchases, control of credit extension, and allocation of goods or services in short supply are inherent in PCN's responsibilities.  Decisions regarding exercise of these responsibilities are at PCN's sole discretion.

 

6.RIGHT TO REGULATE AND BORROW

a.Client acknowledges and grants to PCN the right and power to regulate and control the number of PCN Dollars within the Exchange and to borrow PCN Dollars from the Exchange for its own account.

b.Client grants to PCN the right and power to borrow from the Exchange and spend an aggregate amount not to exceed three (3) years revenue of PCN Dollars as reflected on the financial statements of PCN.

 

E. BREACH OF TRADING RULES; PROHIBITIONS

 

1. TRADING RULE VIOLATIONS PCN has the right, but not the obligation, to inquire into complaints of Trading Rule violations by Client.  Client grants to PCN the right to take such actions which, in PCN's sole discretion, are deemed necessary.  Violations of these Rules may result in termination of Client's account and/or immediate adjustment to the transactions involved.  If Client fails to buy from and sell to other Clients in Good Standing in accordance with these Rules, Client will be in material breach of these Rules.  If Client violates any term of the currently effective Trading Rules, PCN may immediately terminate Client's account or may freeze all activity in the account without notice.  In its sole discretion, PCN may reinstate the Client or unfreeze Client's account.  PCN reserves the right to offer service at its own discretion and delete an account for any reason.

 

2. SUSPENSION OF TRADING PRIVILEGES PCN reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend the trading privileges of any client who is in violation of any local, state or provincial, or federal law, who engages in overpricing, direct trades, or otherwise violates these Rules, or when cash fees are due to PCN and unpaid for more than one calendar month (one accounting Cycle). In the latter case, trading privileges shall be reinstated immediately upon payment of cash fees due.

 

3. PAST DUE FEES In its sole discretion, PCN may terminate Client accounts with cash fees owing beyond twelve (12) weeks and may assess a cash collection fee in such amount as may be specified by PCN from time to time.

Any Client with a negative trade balance (where purchases exceed sales) must balance its account with PCN Dollars within four (4) weeks of termination date.  After said four (4) week period, Client must immediately pay PCN any remaining negative balance in cash.  PCN reserves the right to charge any fees due against credit cards or EFT authorizations on file.

 

c. Any Client with a positive trade balance (where sales exceed purchases) may spend the positive balance until it is spent, provided the account remains in good standing.

 

d. PCN   cards and unused PCN drafts must be returned immediately upon termination.

 

5.

6. DIRECT TRADES AND DRAFT PASSING A “direct trade” is a transaction whereby two clients directly barter their goods or services for the purpose of avoiding fees due to PCN.  "Draft passing” occurs when a seller directs a buyer to make out a PCN draft to a third party.  No Client shall give or receive a PCN draft with the seller's name, account number or amount of the draft left blank or receive a third-party  PCN draft.  Submission of improperly filled out PCN drafts to PCN may result in delays of postings or denial of posting.  Direct trades between Clients are prohibited, and if consummated, are subject to a fifteen percent (15%) cash transaction fee payable upon demand.  If PCN learns of draft passing, PCN has the right to re-post trades to each client’s account to properly reflect the transaction.  Direct trades and draft passing may also result in suspension of trading privileges or termination of Client's account subject to the provisions of paragraph E.5 above.

 

7. SECURITY INTEREST, INSOLVENCY Client hereby grants PCN a security interest in all PCN Dollars in Client's account for the amount of all unpaid cash fees.  If Client becomes insolvent or bankrupt all cash fees shall be due and payable in full.  PCN shall have the option in lieu of filing as a creditor of treating the Trade Dollar balance as equal in value to the amount of cash fees owing, and terminating the account; provided however, that if PCN does receive all of its cash fees in full, PCN shall reinstate the PCN Dollars to the Client's account.

6. DISSOLUTION If the PCN Exchange terminates or otherwise ceases to do business, all Clients in a negative Trade Dollar position will pay amounts they owe in cash (one Trade Dollar being equal to one United States dollar in cash) into a fund. In the case of International Clients, funds will be converted to local currency at the prevailing exchange rate as adopted by PCN. The fund, less expenses, will be distributed pro rata to all Clients who are in a positive Trade Dollar position. PCN is not liable to any Clients for cash or PCN Dollars beyond the distribution of such funds, except as provided in these Rules.
