PTVS Partner Adhesion Agreement

Declaration of Conformity and Integration with the Prop Trust Verified Standard

1. Statement of Adhesion

The entity subscribing to this agreement (hereinafter, the “Adhering Partner”) formally declares its voluntary adoption of the Prop Trust Verified Standard (PTVS v1.0) as published by the PropTrust Association and Aurema Group LLC. The Partner acknowledges that tokenizing Real-World Assets requires absolute integrity between digital smart contracts on decentralized ledgers and physical-legal reality off-chain.

2. Core Commitments of the Partner

By executing this Adhesion Agreement, the Partner commits to:

1. Smart Contract Conformity: Integrate and maintain the mandatory PTVS primitives—specifically the isPhysicallyAndLegallyBound modifier and the freezeByLegalMandate execution function—within its tokenization architecture and ERC-3643 / compatible smart contracts.
2. Registry Synchronization: Recognize the Layer-0 Physical Registry (LO-PR) and Qualified Forensic Evidence Records (QFER) as the single source of truth for the physical and legal status of tokenized collateral.
3. Enforcement of Revocation (“Hollow Token” Protocol): Honor any certification revocation or legal freeze issued through the LO-PR registry, ensuring that compromised or de-certified tokens instantly become non-executable “Hollow Tokens.”
4. Authorized Seal Usage: Display the official “PTVS Verified” seal exclusively in connection with assets and expert reports that have successfully completed the 4-step Conformity Assessment Protocol.

3. Intellectual Property & Governance

The Partner explicitly acknowledges that all intellectual property rights pertaining to the PTVS specification, QFER frameworks, and associated methodologies remain vested in Aurema Group LLC and are governed by the institutional oversight of the PropTrust Association in Zug, Switzerland. This agreement does not transfer ownership of intellectual property but grants a revocable, non-exclusive license to operate in conformity with the standard.

4. Dispute Resolution & Jurisdiction

Any controversy, dispute, or claim arising out of or relating to this Adhesion Agreement shall be settled under the rules of the CL-PTVS Fast-Track Arbitration administered by the PropTrust Association, with final binding arbitration conducted in Wilmington, Delaware, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
