Your REPUTATION Score will change over time based on these factors, which may include information You provide and Your activity on the application. Your REPUTATION Score may also be impacted by changes to the algorithm and factors selected by ImagineBC. You understand that this algorithm and these factors are subject to change at ImagineBC’s sole discretion and ImagineBC is not liable to You for any impact resulting from Your REPUTATION Score.

  1. Account Funds

As further set forth in ImagineBC’s Smart Contract Policy, You may receive money from time to time based on Your use of the Service or use by users that You invited to the Service. You may also deposit money into an account to be used within the Service. Funds received or deposited will be held in a bank account owned by ImagineBC but will be associated with You. You will be able to check the balance of these funds at any time from within the Service. ImagineBC will also make every effort to provide You with the ability to withdraw funds from Your Account from within the Service; however, there can be no assurance that ImagineBC will be able to provide this functionality in your Country of residence. In situations where this function is not available, You may still use your funds within the Service. ImagineBC will continue to work to provide this function in countries where we have users.

A certain minimum portion of Your Account funds balance must be held within Your Account, once that amount has been initially earned or deposited, to allow for certain functionality within the Service, including for micropayments under 0.01 ImagineBC Points (“Points”) where 1.00 Point is equivalent to 1.00 USA Dollar (a “Digital Balance”). The Digital Balance minimum amount is currently set at 0.05 Points, but this amount is subject to change at ImagineBC discretion. While the Digital Balance may not be withdrawn while Your Account is active, it does belong to you and may be withdrawn upon termination of Your Account.

  1. Tax Considerations

ImagineBC makes no claims regarding the taxability of any transactions you may make on the Platform. As between you and Imagine BC, you are solely responsible for the calculation and payment of any taxes (including income, sales, VAT, or other taxes) that may be owed by you to any national, state, or local government entity in connection with your use of the Platform. ImagineBC may collect certain taxes (including sales, VAT, or other taxes) as may be required by federal, state and local taxing authorities. In the event that ImagineBC collects taxes from YOU the amounts will be disclosed in the financial ledger of your ImagineBC wallet. 5 When you receive money based on Your use of the Service or use by users that You invited to the Service, that exceed certain thresholds (defined by country of residency) ImagineBC is obligated to collect certain information from you for tax reporting purposes. Such information may include, but is not limited to, full name, federal tax classification, permanent residence address, social security number (or equivalent), country of citizenship and date of birth. Should you refuse to provide such information, ImagineBC has the right to suspend, cancel or terminate your Account at its’ sole discretion.

  1. Terminated Accounts and Abandoned Funds

If Your Account is terminated, ImagineBC will attempt to transfer any remaining balance of funds in Your Account (including the Digital Balance) to any corresponding bank account or to an account that You provide for remaining balance transfer as part of the Account termination process. If You do not have a corresponding bank account tied to Your Account and do not provide a bank account for transfer of available funds upon termination, then ImagineBC will attempt to contact You through the Service messaging functionality to complete the termination and funds transfer process. If You do not respond to such contact attempts and fail to provide an account for funds transfer after a significant duration of time (but not earlier than twelve (12) months following Account termination), then any funds or credits tied to Your Account may be deemed abandoned by You and retained by ImagineBC, subject to any applicable federal, state and provincial laws.

  1. Communications

You acknowledge that ImagineBC will from time to time contact You through messages within the Service. ImagineBC will only have access to Your e-mail address for limited temporary use when You choose to provide such information as part of the onboarding identity verification and password reset processes. At all other times, ImagineBC will not retain access to Your e-mail address and therefore can only contact You via messaging functionality within the Service.
