PURCHASE AND SALE OF 1SQFT TOKENS

You can buy 1SQFT Tokens only at the price mentioned on the platform and not what is advertised locally or on other portals.

Buying or Selling of Tokens BELOW the BP is strictly prohibited and will not be allowed. Buying or Selling of Tokens ABOVE MSP is allowed but will be done so at the risk of the Customer in the free market. The Company does not guarantee to repay this price in any form.

You understand that the market prices of land may vary multiple times, and that in order to achieve the MSP the sale team of 1SQFT might have to delay the Sell Out Process to maximise appreciation.

Payment will be accepted through the payment options made available on the Platform, which may include redirection to a Payment Gateway hosted by another third-party website or platform, including by 1SQFT. At the time of purchase/fulfilment / sale-back / transfer of Tokens, the relevant taxes will be chargeable as per government norms. It is hereby clarified that once an Order is placed, You are not entitled to cancel the Order, provided that an Order shall stand cancelled if the payment fails for any reason whatsoever.

1SQFT reserves the right to cancel an Order, at its sole discretion, if Your information, provided prior to placing the Order, is not found acceptable and 1SQFT is of the opinion that You are not eligible to purchase 1SQFT Digital Tokens. The 1SQFT Account shall accordingly stand amended. 1SQFT shall have the right to freeze the 1SQFT Account until it receives KYC and other documentation in a form and manner satisfactory to it.

BUYING REAL LAND

The 1SQFT Platform offers Services for Customers who wish to invest in property through a convenient digital tokenization process that produces easily transferrable 1SQFT Digital Tokens securely done using blockchain technology. These tokens are held against the size and value of the real land that is purchased by the Company. 

Customers who purchase 1SQFT Land Tokens are free to visit and see the land parcel, but are not entitled to claim the real land of the same size and value, use it or resell it for fiat currency. Customers are not entitled to sell or trade the land tokens OUTSIDE the platform.

You agree that you do not have the option of deciding when the real land is sold out at the MSP and that this is done at the sole discretion of the Company as long as the MSP requirement is met. 

There are some scenarios where a customer can actually buy the real land through our platform.

The scenarios are as follows:
  • A Customer buys out and therefore owns ALL the 1SQFT tokens in one particular land parcel. To process the physical land purchase a Customer will have to show proof of ownership to the company as well as be prepared to pay the Registration Charges, Taxes etc that follow the regular land purchase process.
  • A Customer owns over 50% of the 1SQFT tokens in one particular land parcel and is ready and willing to pay the MSP for the remaining 1SQFT tokens owned by other customers. Once this transaction is complete the physical land purchase can begin with a proof of ownership shown to the company as well as an agreement to pay the Registration Charges, Taxes etc that follow the regular land purchase process.
  • A Customer is willing, at the launch of a new land parcel, to buy up ALL the 1SQFT tokens at the MSP. Once this is done and proof of ownership established the Customer can pay the Registration Charges, Taxes etc and complete the re-registration process.

Based on the periodic changes and upgrades made to the 1SQFT Account (in lieu of the Orders and/or Customer Requests), if You are of the opinion that the changes made thereto do not tally with the orders and/or Customer Requests placed by You, You may contact 1SQFT at info@1sqft.io, who shall accordingly take all necessary actions for taking care of any such identified discrepancies.

It is hereby clarified that the 1SQFT Tokens cannot be pledged by You, and the 1SQFT Account is non-transferable unless specifically allowed by 1SQFT. In the event of Your death, if specifically allowed by 1SQFT, the title to such 1SQFT Tokens lying in the vault and the 1SQFT account shall transfer to Your legal heirs only after the required due diligence has been conducted (provided that you have filled nominee details). Subsequent to this, Your legal heir(s) shall be regarded as the Customer for the purpose of the 1SQFT Tokens and 1SQFT Account thereafter and the Terms shall be applicable to Your legal heir(s).

It is hereby clarified that the 1SQFT Platform displays articles, new projects and other merchandise that are available for shopping. Some items may appear slightly larger or smaller than the actual size due to screen defaults and photography techniques. 1SQFT shall not be liable for any legal action on this account. It shall be 1SQFT’s Endeavour to ensure that all details regarding the product are clearly displayed on the Platform.

Due to reasons not directly attributable to 1SQFT, data may be inaccurately displayed on the Platform due to some system errors on the Platform or any device used to access the Platform. 1SQFT reserves the right to correct any and all errors when they do occur, at its sole discretion, and 1SQFT shall be entitled to not honour any requests/orders placed by You based on any inaccurate or erroneous prices.
