1.DESCRIPTION OF OUR SERVICES
At Ginicoe, "Our mission is to reduce the racial wealth gap by eradicating identity theft targeting affluent districts using the instrumentality of integrated housing combined with our patented 'Friendly Faceā¢' Biometric/SoJOR⢠tools, proving that corporate social responsibility (CSR) drives significant financial impact." We employ our Social Justice Outerchange Rating (āSoJORā)⢠methodology to assign consumers who purchase goods and services from participating Merchants (defined below) whereas (āConsumersā) SoJOR score is based on the following four factors: (1) Your address and race as a P52 or EA compared to your neighbors on all four sides; (2) your positive conversation scoring located on your mobile app; (3) your gender; and (4) your income. The scoring range is best to worst 850 ā 300 (the āSoJOR Scoreā).
Consumers can Signup to be a Ginicoe participant (āParticipantā) by completing our online registration through our Website or mobile apps. Registered participants will receive a SoJOR⢠Score.
Consumer shall pay, and merchant participants shall collect on behalf of Licensor, a per-transaction SoJOR fee, commonly referred to as an Ad Valorem Fee, equal to the SoJOR range percentage as outlined in the chart below, derived from the licensed products. The fee is collected from any consumer who transacts at the participating merchant card acceptance or Point of interaction, even if they haven't registered for FriendlyFace protection. SoJOR⢠is based on the public information in your address, census tract, and income, which the U.S. Census Bureau compiles from various sources, not just your application for our Services.
Consumers actively provide personal data, thereby unequivocally waiving surveillance and dynamic pricing protections as stipulated by the New York Algorithmic and Surveillance Statute, the Maryland Predatory Surveillance Pricing Act, and other similar state laws now and forthcoming.
The score is then categorized in tiers, and each tier is assigned an associated percentage (āSoJOR Percentageā) ranging from bronze to platinum. The SoJOR Percentage is applied to qualifying purchases by all participating merchants who are party to a license agreement as Ginicoe (āMerchantsā).
| SoJOR Range | FriendlyFace Fee |
|---|---|
| Platinum (Excelsior) 781-850 | 6% |
| Diamond (Very Good) 661-780 | 7% |
| Gold (Good) 601-660 | 10% |
| Silver (Fair) 501-600 | 12% |
| Bronze (Poor) 300-500 | 20% |
For registered Consumers, we transmit voluntarily opt-in submitted pre-authenticated facial images as a security tool to every point of commercial interaction twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Participating merchants have access to our patented biometric Friendly Face⢠solution for identity verification, consistent with their licensing agreement, subscription tier, usage rate, and sales volume. Merchant participants are responsible for applying a Consumerās SoJOR Score and corresponding SoJOR Percentage at the point-of-sale interaction to each Consumer and collecting from the Consumer the FriendlyFace fee derived from the SoJOR Percentage of the sale (the āSoJOR Feeā).
By using our Services, Merchants are protected against fraud in card-present transactions while advancing residential gentrification, thereby reducing fraud-related chargebacks, reversals, and auto-generated refunds while at the same time increasing profit margins and eradicating identity theft in what will soon be historical affluent districts. Consumers are protected from identity theft, account takeover fraud, home title fraud, investment fraud, senior citizen fraud and scams, and even if their information is stolen during a third-party data breach and later sold on the dark web. Consumerās good name, hard-earned credit history, and reputation remain intact.
We reserve the right to change any of the fees that we collect, including the SoJOR Fee, or to institute new or additional fees, at any time upon notice to you.
