(b) where the Licensee does not open his own account and elects, in writing, for the Licensor to manage his Corpus Fund, the Licensor shall open the Corpus Fund Account in the Licensor's own name and manage it, such account remaining attributed to the Licensee for all reporting.

The Corpus Fund Account shall at all times operate under the Corpus Fund Mandate, being the standard document issued by the Licensor and shared with the Licensee, which is the sole basis for any authorised operation of the account. The Corpus Fund Mandate may not be altered by the Licensee or by the bank; the Licensee accepts the version in force or does not proceed.

Where the Licensor holds the Corpus Fund Account under (b) above, the Licensor alone operates the account and the bank acts on the Licensor's instruction only. The Licensee has no signing or instruction authority and authorises no debit; authorisation derives solely from the Corpus Fund Mandate. The Licensor shall grant the Licensee read-only access to the said account so that the Licensee may independently verify that the Licensor's records correspond to the records of the bank.

The Licensee shall not generate, activate, or sell any GDP unless the Corpus Fund Account is active, linked to the IRG-GDP portal by a verified feed, and operating under an accepted Corpus Fund Mandate.

The Licensee's exit is exercised through the Beneficiaries: upon the Beneficiaries' withdrawal of their earmarked gold, the investments of the Corpus Fund shall be liquidated, the GDPs bought back to the number issued, the resulting surplus or shortfall settled as provided in this License, and the Corpus Fund Account closed. The Licensor shall not obstruct this process.

The Corpus Fund Account details shall be uploaded on the IRG-GDP portal in the form provided; the Licensor shall confirm the same.

Generation of GDPs

The Licensee may generate GDPs under the terms of the license for and on behalf of the Licensee’s customers by uploading the duly filled-up GDP generation form along with the required details as provided on www.irg-gdp.com.

The Licensee shall activate the Dormant Units by contributing to the Corpus fund an amount being the 1-gram Gold price per GDP. Once uploaded, they become tradable on the IRG-GDP portal.

The Licensee shall sell the Units at the market value and utilize the sale proceeds to activate additional Units for their sale till all the dormant Units are activated. Their buyers may swap them for other IRG Products or gift or donate them. He may nominate any person to claim them after his demise.

The GDPs credited to the Beneficiary's accounts shall rank pari-passu with the activated GDPs except that they shall not be charged, sold, or transferred, other than by transmission on the demise of the Beneficiary or exit of the Beneficiary from the Corpus Fund.

Benchmark Pricing

Being a standard product, the GDPs sold by any Beneficiary anytime from anywhere should have the same value. It is achieved by a universally standard method for valuation of the investment and expressing it in terms of gold at a rate quoted on LME. The portfolio investment and the Base Gold are to be valued as per international accounting standards and aggregated after converting the value in terms of gold at a price quoted in USD on LME. The consolidated value is divided by the aggregated number of GDPs to arrive at its value as quantity in grams of 24-carat gold as the benchmark price. It will be daily updated and prominently displayed on www.irg-gdp.com.

The GDPs bought back through the Corpus Fund pending their resale shall be treated as a part of the investment of the Corpus Fund.

The Corpus Fund shall, in accordance with the Corpus Fund Mandate, offer to buy the GDPs offered for sale, at the last Benchmark price, to be paid out of the Corpus Fund. Investments of the Corpus Fund may be liquidated as required for this purpose. The bought-back GDPs shall be offered for resale at their market price through the Corpus Fund. The sale proceeds shall be credited to and deposited in the Corpus Fund Account. The obligation to buy back GDPs through the Corpus Fund is subject to the limit that the total number of bought-back GDPs remaining unsold does not exceed the total number of GDPs generated and activated under the License.

Bonus GDPs

Bonus GDPs to be generated for allotment to the Beneficiaries shall be computed on a consolidated basis. The Bonus GDPs shall be generated on the last date of every quarter of a year (Called ‘Bonus Date’) and allotted to the Beneficiaries in proportion to the Base Gold earmarked by them.

The Licensee shall cease to collect any more funds to buy gold and shall not be entitled to any benefit from the Corpus Fund on his exit.

The Licensee shall be deemed to have surrendered the licence if the Licensee's enlisted jewelry business ceases to exist for any reason or there is a change in the management of the business for any reason other than the business being inherited by his legal heirs.

We shall have the right to terminate the Licensee’s licence if in our opinion the Licensee’s activities are proving to be or likely to hurt the interest of Customers or hurt our reputation or our business interests or engage in unethical trade practices or there is a material breach of the License terms.

His decision shall be binding on both of us.

The termination of the Licensee’s licence shall have the same effect as if he had surrendered the licence.

The Beneficiaries shall have the option to exit simply by uploading their request on our website. We shall requisition the Administrator of the Corpus Fund to sell and liquidate the investment representing the Corpus Fund share of the Beneficiary. The proceeds shall be utilized to buy at the market value the number of GDPs of the Beneficiary earlier activated and sold. The balance, after deduction of the bank charges and taxes as may be applicable, shall be paid to the Beneficiary and his participation in the Corpus Fund shall stand closed. The GDPs standing in his name shall cease to exist.

Shortfall

The negative difference between the market value of the Corpus Fund investments and the aggregate value of the listed GDPs generated and sold under the License, at the Benchmark price shall be considered as the ‘Corpus Fund Shortfall’ (called ‘the Shortfall’) for the Corpus Fund.

In the event of the Shortfall exceeding 2% (two percent) of the aggregate value of the listed GDPs sold by the Beneficiaries, the Licensee shall meet the Shortfall by generating additional GDPs and selling them to the Beneficiaries at their Benchmark price, of an aggregate value matching the amount of the Shortfall. We shall update the website of such shortfall and generate the unlisted additional GDPs to be purchased by the Beneficiaries.

The Licensee shall earmark the gold owned and free of any charge as the additional Base Gold required to generate the Additional Unlisted GDPs. The additional base gold shall be earmarked by the Jeweller as part of the Corpus Fund gold in his existing jewellery firm.

No royalty and the up-front system support charges provided herein shall be payable for the unlisted additional GDPs generated. Its sale proceeds shall be deposited to the credit of the Corpus Fund Account and shall be invested as provided in the License terms.

The Licensee shall purchase the additional unlisted GDPs not purchased by the Beneficiaries, within 15 (Fifteen) calendar days from the date of their generation. He shall be deemed to be a Beneficiary having earmarked the gold of the matching value at the LME rate as on the date the additional unlisted GDPs purchased by him that shall entitle him to share income of the Corpus Fund and the Bonus GDPs in the ratio of the unlisted GDPs held as on the effective dates by the Beneficiaries including the Licensee.

The listed Bonus shares generated by the IRG system in the future that are to be credited to the wallets of the respective Beneficiaries shall be swapped against the unlisted additional GDPs held by them. The swapped unlisted additional GDPs shall stand canceled and cease to exist. We shall update the IRG system records of the unlisted additional GDPs held by the Beneficiaries and inform them accordingly.

Alternatively, the Licensee shall earmark 24-carate gold owned by him and free of any charges or claims, of value at its LME rate equivalent to the amount of the Shortfall and that it shall be earmarked as part of the Corpus Fund gold in the Licensee’s existing jewellery firm. The earmarked gold shall be released from the earmark and revert to the Licensee’s free ownership in proportion to the reduction in the Shortfall amount in the future as advised by us.

Other Terms of the License

Updating the License Terms

If we materially change these terms or service-specific additional terms, we’ll provide the licensee with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to review the changes, except when we launch a new service or feature, or in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements.

Following termination of the License terms for any reason whatsoever, the Parties shall by themselves return all Confidential Information to the owner thereof in whatever media it may be contained.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the covenants and obligations with respect to confidentiality set forth above relate to special, unique, and extraordinary matters, and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the owner of such property irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law.

Limitation of liability

Except and other than the obligations of the Parties hereto specifically provided in the License terms, no Party shall be liable for delay or default in the performance of its obligations due to contingencies beyond its control, such as fire, flood, civil commotion, earthquake, war, strikes or government action.

Any invalid or unenforceable provision of the License terms shall be replaced with a provision that is valid and enforceable and most nearly gives effect to the original intent of the unenforceable provision.

Settling disputes, governing law, and courts

Indian law will govern all disputes arising out of or relating to these terms, service-specific additional terms, or any related services, regardless of conflict of laws and rules. These disputes will be resolved exclusively in the civil court in Mumbai, India, and the licensee and we consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

To the extent that applicable local law prevents certain disputes from being resolved in a Mumbai court, then the licensee can file those disputes in the Licensee's local courts. Likewise, if applicable local law prevents the Licensee's local court from applying Indian law to resolve these disputes, then these disputes will be governed by the applicable local laws of the country of the licensee, the State, or the place of his residence.
