7. Privacy, Data Use, and Security

Sovran Private Society respects your privacy and protects your data according to its governing laws and policies under Sovran Law. All data collection, usage, and security measures are designed to align with the principles of privacy, self-determination, and sovereign autonomy.

By using Sovran Services, you consent to Sovran’s data practices as described. Continued use of the platform affirms your agreement with all privacy-related terms under the Sovran Privacy Policy and Articles of Association.

8. System Use, Restrictions, and Compliance

Your access to and use of Sovran systems is governed exclusively by the Articles of Association, these Terms, and any applicable Program Notices. The platform operates under Sovran’s private jurisdiction and does not extend public legal protections, rights, or remedies to users operating outside of its private governance.

• Member-Only Access: Only verified Members in good standing are authorized to use Sovran systems. Unauthorized access is prohibited and subject to internal enforcement measures.

Any breach of the above conditions may result in immediate suspension, revocation of membership, denial of access to Sovran systems, or internal review under the Court of the People.

9. Financial Use, Risk Disclosure, and Member Responsibility

Sovran does not provide public financial, investment, or tax advice. All tools and assets provided by Sovran—including stablecoins (e.g., SAU), digital units (e.g., SPG, SPS, SVN), or access units (e.g., DFR)—are used privately within the Sovran jurisdiction and are not offered as securities or financial products to the public.

• No Public Guarantee: Sovran makes no public claims of financial returns or guarantees. Any expected yields, benefits, or distributions are governed exclusively by internal Program Notices and participation thresholds.
• Member Discretion: Members acknowledge that all purchases, redemptions, conversions, or participations in Sovran systems are made voluntarily and at their sole discretion and risk.
• Consultation Responsibility: It is the sole responsibility of the Member to seek independent legal, financial, tax, or jurisdictional advice before using any Sovran service or participating in any Sovran-based offering.
• Volatility and Risk: Digital assets, including stablecoins and venue-based credits, are inherently volatile and may experience fluctuations in usability, valuation, and redemption timelines. Sovran shall not be held liable for losses due to system delays, availability of liquidity, or jurisdictional restrictions.
• Internal Use Only: Sovran units (such as SAU, SPG, SPS, SVN, DFC, and DFR) are designed exclusively for internal use. They are not redeemable for public currency unless explicitly authorized through internal Program Notices or conversions governed by Sovran policy.
• Member Responsibility: All Members agree to carefully review relevant agreements (e.g., Subscription Agreements, Program Notices, and the Articles of Association) prior to using the Sovran platform. Participation in Sovran is private, and Members are bound by internal agreements—not public legal contracts.

By using any financial or tokenized feature of Sovran, Members affirm that they understand the private nature of the offering, accept all related risks, and waive any right to claim under public legal or financial systems.

10. Transactions, Irreversibility, and Confirmations

All Sovran-based transactions—including those involving SAU, SPG, SPS, SVN, DFC, DFR, and DFMC—are final and irreversible once submitted and confirmed on the Sovran system. The Sovran platform is designed to honor Member autonomy and privacy; as such, no third-party interference or reversal is permitted after submission.

• Finality of Transactions: Members acknowledge that once a transfer, exchange, or purchase is confirmed on Sovran’s internal ledger, the action is permanent and cannot be reversed or undone.
• Responsibility for Accuracy: All Members are responsible for verifying recipient addresses (e.g., Member emails or QR codes), asset types, and transaction amounts prior to submission. Sovran assumes no liability for misdirected or incorrect transfers caused by user error.
• No Reversals or Chargebacks: Sovran does not process chargebacks, refunds, or reversals on Member-initiated transactions. Members agree to exercise caution and confirm all details prior to approval.
• Transaction Confirmations: For every completed transaction, a confirmation message or transaction ID will be issued. It is the Member’s duty to save or document this confirmation for their personal records.
• Cross-System Risks: Any interaction with external blockchain or token systems (if permitted) is subject to the risks of that public network. Sovran is not responsible for failed external confirmations, network congestion, lost assets, or incorrect address formats.
• System Interruptions: Sovran reserves the right to temporarily pause or delay transactions for system upgrades, technical reviews, compliance checks, or other internal processes required for platform integrity.

By submitting any transaction through Sovran, you confirm full responsibility for the accuracy of all transaction data and accept that Sovran has no obligation to recover or reverse any digital transfer once completed.

11. Confidentiality, Privacy, and Non-Disclosure

By joining Sovran and accessing its services, Members agree to uphold the strict confidentiality standards required within the Sovran Private Society. All communications, platform materials, and proprietary data are protected under Sovran’s private jurisdiction and are not to be shared, copied, or disclosed outside the Society.

• Confidential Material: All Sovran communications, agreements, tools, strategies, codebases, whitepapers, or data—whether verbal, written, digital, or visual—are confidential and for Member use only. Distribution or exposure to any third party, including government agencies, legal counsel, or non-members, is strictly prohibited.

Unauthorized recordings may result in permanent termination of membership and legal recourse under Sovran Law.
• Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA): All Members, by virtue of their opt-in to the Society and access to its platforms, are considered to have accepted a binding NDA. This includes, but is not limited to, protection of strategic models, private correspondence, financial systems, and intellectual property.
• Privacy Policy: Sovran collects only the data necessary to verify membership, secure platform functionality, and fulfill service eligibility. Sovran does not sell, rent, or publicly disclose Member data. All data is managed under Sovran’s Privacy Policy, available via the Member Portal.

12. Intellectual Property and Licensing

All content, technologies, branding elements, and proprietary frameworks presented within Sovran’s platforms, services, and communications are protected intellectual property of the Sovran Private Society or its affiliated entities.

Any Member who infringes upon Sovran’s intellectual property, misuses licensed material, or attempts unauthorized replication of Sovran technologies or content may face immediate account termination and referral to the Court of the People for appropriate remedies under Sovran Law.

13. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

The Sovran Private Society (“Sovran”) provides all Services, systems, platforms, communications, and materials “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without any warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

15. Data Security and Member Privacy

Sovran Private Society is committed to protecting the data, privacy, and digital sovereignty of its Members. The collection, storage, and handling of all information occur within Sovran’s private jurisdiction and are governed by internal policies consistent with the Articles of Association and the Society’s Privacy Policy.

• Private Ledger System: All Member transaction records, balances, and operational data are stored on Sovran’s private permissioned ledger known as AEON. This system is secured through encryption, internal validator consensus, and access control mechanisms.
• Data Collection Limits: Sovran collects only the information necessary for account management, eligibility verification, and network functionality. No superfluous or public-facing data is retained.
• Zero Data Sales: Sovran will never sell, lease, or share Member information with public entities, corporations, or third parties without express written consent and proper lawful authority recognized under Sovran Law.
• Data Access Controls: Only designated Sovran operators and administrators with need-to-know access may review Member records. All data access is logged and regularly audited within Sovran’s internal governance framework.
• Retention Policy: Sovran retains data only as long as necessary to fulfill service obligations, account integrity, and legal responsibilities within the Society. Members may request a review or closure of their data file subject to review by Sovran administration.
• Encrypted Communications: Communications between Sovran and its Members may be protected through end-to-end encryption, secure portals, or internal encrypted messaging tools when appropriate.
• Data Breach Protocol: In the event of a suspected data breach or system compromise, Sovran will notify affected Members and take all appropriate internal measures to resolve and remedy the situation in line with Sovran Law.
• Responsibility of Members: Members are responsible for safeguarding their login credentials, private keys (if applicable), and communication devices. Sovran shall not be held liable for losses or exposures resulting from Member negligence or third-party access to a Member’s device or account.

Sovran's approach to privacy is built on the principles of trust, minimalism, and private self-governance. By using the Service, you consent to Sovran's data practices as outlined herein and in the Society’s official Privacy Policy.

16. KYC/KYB and Identity Verification Requirements

Sovran operates under a unique private jurisdiction that recognizes sovereignty of the individual and maintains strict separation from public compliance regimes. However, in limited contexts where interaction with public infrastructure (e.g., banking, cards, or regulated third-party services) is necessary, Sovran may request additional identity-related information under internal policy frameworks.

• Private Member Verification (PMC Protocol): Sovran uses a proprietary Private Member Confirmation (PMC) protocol to verify Member identity privately. This method relies on internal attestations, digital signature proofs, or affidavits submitted under Sovran Law.
• Public KYC/KYB Disclosure: Sovran does not perform or rely on standard public Know Your Customer (KYC) or Know Your Business (KYB) protocols for internal Member interactions, except where interaction with external public systems (e.g., debit cards, merchant processing) is required.
• Minimal Disclosure Policy: In cases where public-facing services are used (e.g., third-party payment processors), only the minimum legally required information will be disclosed to facilitate access. Members will be notified in advance and must voluntarily opt in.
• Sovereign Standing: All Members who interact with Sovran’s private systems affirm that they are natural, living men or women, acting sui juris, or Indigenous persons under the governance of the Sovran Private Society. Corporate entities must be verified by a duly authorized natural person representative.
• Card Program Requirements: Members seeking to access physical or virtual card programs (such as Sovran debit cards) acknowledge that identity verification may be required by the issuing financial institution. This requirement falls outside Sovran’s private jurisdiction and is subject to the provider's terms and conditions.
• Internal Audits: Sovran reserves the right to audit Member activity for the purpose of compliance with internal eligibility criteria, fraud prevention, or abuse detection—without reliance on external agencies or reporting bodies.

By using Sovran’s services, you affirm that you meet all eligibility requirements and voluntarily submit to any internal identity verification protocols deemed necessary under Sovran Law. You further understand that any public-facing services are subject to separate terms and may involve minimal identity confirmation outside the private jurisdiction of Sovran.

17. Public Utility Access and Voluntary Disclosure

Sovran operates entirely within a private jurisdiction and does not rely on public utility systems unless explicitly stated. However, Sovran offers optional integrations with certain public utilities (e.g., bank-connected debit cards, merchant gateways) through voluntary participation. These features require limited interaction with regulated third parties and may involve disclosure of personal or business information outside Sovran’s private framework.

• Voluntary Use: All public utility services offered through Sovran (including but not limited to Sovran cards, third-party merchant processors, and exchanges) are entirely optional. No Member is required to use these services to maintain participation in the Sovran Private Society or its internal economy.
• Disclosure Boundaries: Members who voluntarily access such utilities understand that Sovran may be required to share basic identity or transactional information with the third-party provider in order to fulfill the service. Sovran will never sell Member data or share information beyond what is operationally necessary.
• Jurisdictional Separation: Use of public utilities does not alter the Member’s standing within Sovran’s private jurisdiction. Any KYC or public disclosure required by external providers is separate and does not bind Sovran to public legal or financial systems.
• No Waiver of Rights: Participation in public-facing services does not waive your rights as a sovereign Member or reduce the protections granted under Sovran’s Articles of Association, unless you independently enter into terms with a third-party provider.
• Revocability: Members may opt out of any public-facing service at any time. Upon doing so, Sovran will cease any further data transmission to the associated third-party service provider, subject to the terms of that provider.

By voluntarily choosing to access any public utility integration offered through Sovran, you acknowledge and accept the terms of limited and purpose-specific disclosure. You retain your full rights within Sovran’s private jurisdiction and agree to manage your public utility participation with awareness and discretion.

18. Electronic Consent and Communication

By becoming a Member of the Sovran Private Society or using any Sovran-related platform, you consent to receive communications, notices, and disclosures electronically. This includes all legally required notices and agreements, which shall be delivered via email, secure platform notification, or publication within your Member dashboard.

• Binding Effect: All electronically delivered agreements, including subscription notices, policy updates, and dispute rulings, are binding and enforceable as if delivered in written physical form.
• Member Responsibility: You are solely responsible for maintaining a valid email address and ensuring receipt of Sovran communications. Failure to monitor or access your registered email or Member dashboard does not exempt you from the terms, responsibilities, or updates provided therein.
• Consent to Paperless Transactions: Sovran operates in a fully digital and private jurisdiction. You agree to engage in all activities with Sovran electronically, and waive any right to receive paper documents unless otherwise required by internal Sovran policy or private agreement.
• Revocation of Consent: If you wish to revoke your consent to electronic communication, you must notify Sovran in writing. Doing so may result in the termination of access to digital services or Membership, as Sovran services are dependent on secure, efficient, and documented electronic operations.

By using the Sovran Service, you affirm that you have the equipment and software necessary to receive electronic communications and agree to all notifications, agreements, and disclosures delivered in such a format.
