The CANdy Network and Transaction Author are individually\nreferred to herein as a \"Party\" and collectively as the \"Parties\". All\nreferences to \"you\" throughout this Agreement will include that person or\nentity. You represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on that\nperson’s or entity’s behalf, and in the event you or the person or entity\nviolates this Agreement, the person or entity agrees to be responsible to the\nCANdy Network.\n\n\nBy clicking \"Accept\" or similar or writing Transactions to the CANdy Ledger\nNetworks, Transaction Author agrees to be bound by this Agreement and all terms\nincorporated by reference. If Transaction Author does not agree to this\nAgreement in its entirety, do not click \"Accept\" or write Transactions to the\nCANdyLedger Networks.\n\n\nIf the CANdy Network makes material changes to this Agreement, the CANdy Network will notify you\nby posting a notice on GitHub prior to the effective date of the changes. \nBy continuing to act as a Transaction Author or by otherwise writing Transactions on the\nCANdy Ledger Networks after the CANdy Network posts changes to GitHub you agree to be\nbound by the revised Agreement.\n\n\nWHEREAS, Transaction Author desires to write Transactions to the CANdy\nLedger Networks (each a \"**Transaction**\"); and\n\n\nWHEREAS, subject to Transaction Author complying with the terms and\nconditions of this Agreement, the CANdy Network grants permission to \nTransaction Author to write Transactions to the CANdy Ledger Networks;\n\n\nFOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH IS HEREBY\nACKNOWLEDGED, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:\n\n\n\n\n## 1) Definitions\n\n\na. \"**Data Protection Laws**\" means the data protection and\nprivacy laws, regulations, and regulatory requirements applicable to a party\nunder this Agreement.\n\n\nb. \"**Impermissible Personal Data**\" means the Personal Data that\nTransaction Author writes to the CANdy Ledger Networks that is not\nPermissible Personal Data.\n\n\nc. \"**Personal Data Transactions**\" has the meaning set forth in Section 3\nbelow.\n\n\nd. \"**Permissible Personal Data**\" means Personal Data that Transaction\nAuthor writes to the CANdy Ledger Networks that is permitted under this\nAgreement and the CANdy Governance Framework.\n\n\ne. \"**Personal Data**\" means information that relates, directly or\nindirectly, to a data subject, including without limitation, names, email\naddresses, postal addresses, identification numbers, location data, online\nidentifiers or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological,\ngenetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of the data subject.\n\n\nf. \"**Process**\" or \"**Processing**\" means any operation or set of\noperations which is performed on Transactions data, whether or not by\nautomated means, such as the access, collection, use, storage, disclosure,\ndissemination, combination, recording, organization, structuring, adaption,\nalteration, copying, transfer, retrieval, consultation, disposal, restriction,\nerasure and/or destruction of Transactions data.\n\n\ng. \"**CANdy Governance Framework**\" means the CANdy Network's \ngovernance policies and rules available at\nhttps://github.com/bcgov/bc-vcpedia/wiki/(Layer-1)-CANdy-Utility-Provisional-Governance-Framework\n\n\nUnless otherwise defined above, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement\nshall have the meanings given to them in this Agreement or in the CANdy\nGovernance Framework. The CANdy Governance\nFramework is incorporated into this Agreement by reference\nonly for purposes of use of such defined terms.\n\n\n\n\n## 2) Permission to Write to the CANdy Ledger Networks\n\n\na. The CANdy Network hereby grants to Transaction Author a non-exclusive,\nnon-assignable, non-sublicensable, royalty free, revocable license to write to\nand use the CANdy Ledger Networks in accordance with this Agreement and the\nCANdy Governance Framework.\n\n\nb. When authoring Transactions under the policy of Permissioned Write Access,\na Transaction Author may only write to the CANdy Ledger Networks by using an\nauthorized Transaction Endorser. In the event that the CANdy Network enables\nPublic Write Access to the CANdy Ledger Networks, Transaction Author will\nnot need a Transaction Endorser to endorse a Transaction.\n\n\nc. Once an initial Transaction has been written to one of the CANdy Ledger\nNetworks by Transaction Author (\"**Initial Transaction**\"), the\nTransaction Author is granted permission to make additional Transactions to\nupdate the state of a previous Transaction (\"**Update Transactions**\"). Please\nnote, an Update Transaction does not remove the Initial Transaction, which\nwill remain on the CANdy Ledger due to its immutability and may remain on\nCANdy Test Networks unless they are reset. Transaction Author may make Update\nTransactions if and only if Transaction Author was the author of the\nInitial Transaction. Update Transactions are Transactions and are subject to\nall the terms of this Agreement.\n\n\n\n\n## 3) Transaction Author Obligations\n\n\na. With regard to all Transactions, Transaction Author will:\n\n\n 1. comply with any requirements imposed by the Transaction Endorser on the\n Transaction Author and any Transactions endorsed by the Transaction\n Endorser;\n\n\n 2. not write Transactions containing Personal Data until the CANdy Network\n approves Public Write Access and permits Transactions to contain Personal\n Data pursuant to Section 3(b) below.\n\n\nb.

It will not write any Transactions that contain Impermissible Personal\n Data to the CANdy Ledger Networks;\n\n\n 2. it is an independent data controller of the\n Personal Data Transactions and will be responsible for the lawfulness of the\n Processing of such data in compliance with the Data Protection Laws;\n\n\n 3. it acknowledges and will notify all data subjects whose Personal Data it\n Processes that functions inherent in blockchain technology may render\n fulfilling data subject requests difficult or impossible. For example, due\n to blockchain’s immutability, data stored on a blockchain generally cannot\n be removed or altered once the data is confirmed on the blockchain;\n\n\n 4. it irrevocably waives any and all claims, rights and/or obligations it\n may have now or in the future against the CANdy Network as a result of\n being unable to fulfill data subject requests in accordance with Data\n Protection Laws;\n\n\n 5. that the CANdy Network has the right to enter into the DPAs on its\n behalf and the DPAs are made a part of the Agreement in their entirety;\n\n\n 6. by signing this Agreement, each Party is deemed to have signed the DPAs,\n including the Standard Contractual Clauses with the CANdy Network and\n Transaction Author as the \"Data exporter\", and with either a Steward or a\n Transaction Endorser as \"Data importer\", as applicable;\n\n\n 7. at the CANdy Network's request, Transaction Author will reimburse\n the CANdy for any costs incurred by the CANdy Network in\n enforcing Transaction Author’s rights, including but not\n limited to fulfillment of data subject rights, rights of oversight and\n audit, etc.; and\n\n\n 8. it irrevocably waives any and all claims that it may have now or in the\n future that the CANdy Network lacks the rights to enter into the DPAs on\n its behalf and bind Transaction Author to the DPAs’ terms and conditions,\n including the limitation of liability therein.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## 4) Representations and Warranties; Disclaimer\n\n\na. By the CANdy Network.\n\n\n 1. THE CANDY LEDGER NETWORKS AND THE CANDY NETWORK ARE PROVIDED AS-IS WITH\n ALL FAULTS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CANDY\n NETWORK MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY CONCERNING THE ACCURACY,\n RELIABILITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION OR DATA OBTAINED OR DERIVED\n THROUGH THE USE OF THE CANDY LEDGER NETWORKS AS THE CANDY LEDGER NETWORKS\n OPERATE ON A DISTRIBUTED NETWORK AND THE CANDY NETWORK DOES NOT CONTROL\n THE INFORMATION OR DATA WRITTEN TO THE CANDY LEDGER NETWORKS. THE CANDY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR\n IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR\n FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY OR\n COMPLETENESS OF DATA.\n\n\n 2.
