Mattereum Asset Passports
Our Website offers the facility to generate digital identity credentials for physical things stored on the [ethereum] blockchain, which can be verified by third parties (Mattereum Asset Passports).
The facility allows you to:
- create a Mattereum Asset Passport by submitting information about physical objects, including detailed descriptions, provenance data and images to our Website;
- view Mattereum Asset Passports and expert certifications which were given in respect of them;
- enter into an agreement (Certification Contract), as a purchaser (Purchaser), with a third party expert (Certifier) who will, for a fee, give warranties as to facts in respect of the physical object as evidenced in the Mattereum Asset Passport. The Certification Contract shall include an agreed scope of damages for which the Certifier shall be liable (if the warranties are untrue); and
- as a Certifier, to enter into a Certification Contract in respect of a physical object as evidenced in a Mattereum Asset Passport (and the provenance and other data stated in the Mattereum Asset Passport). As Certifier you may select the scope of damages which shall apply in respect of warranties given and the fee which shall be applicable for the Certification.
You may only enter into a Certification Contract by linking your digital wallets on supported bridge extensions such as MetaMask (https://metamask.io/). MetaMask is an electronic wallet, which allows you to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using Ethereum cryptocurrency.
Before creating or viewing a Mattereum Asset Passport or entering into or viewing a Certification Contract, we will ask you to download a supported electronic wallet extension and connect and unlock your digital wallets with that extension. Once you create or view a Mattereum Asset Passport or enter into or submit data in respect of a Certification Contract, relevant data is passed on to the applicable extension, which completes the record or agreement on your behalf.
All transactions involving Mattereum Asset Passports and Certification Contracts initiated through our service are facilitated and run by such third-party electronic wallet extensions, and by using our services you agree that you are governed by the terms of service and privacy policy for the applicable extensions. For Metamask, those terms are available at (https://metamask.io/terms.html ) and (https://metamask.io/privacy.html ).
