LEGAL INFORMATION AND CROWDSALE

GENERAL INFORMATIONS

The EVA does not have the legal qualification of a security since it does not give any rights to dividends or interests. The sale of EVAs is final and non-refundable. EVAs are not shares and do not give any right to participate to the general meeting of Eventboost. EVA cannot have a performance or a particular value outside the Eventboost SA network. EVA shall therefore not be used or purchased for speculative or investment purposes. The purchaser of EVA is aware that national securities laws, which ensure that investors are sold investments that include all the proper disclosures and are subject to regulatory scrutiny for the investors' protection, are not applicable.

Anyone purchasing EVA expressly acknowledges and represents that she/he has carefully reviewed this white paper and fully understands the risks, costs and benefits associated with the purchase of EVA.

KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED

The purchaser of EVA undertakes that she/he understands and has significant experience of cryptocurrencies, blockchain systems and services, and that she/he fully understands the risks associated with the crowdsale as well as the mechanism related to the use of cryptocurrencies (incl. storage).

Eventboost SA shall not be responsible for any loss of EVA or situations making it impossible to access EVAs, which may result from any actions or omissions of the user or any person undertaking to acquire EVAs, as well as in case of hacker attacks.

RISKS

Acquiring EVA and storing them involves various risks, in particular the risk that Eventboost may not be able to launch its operations and develop its blockchain and provide the services promised. Therefore, and prior to acquiring EVAs, any user should carefully consider the risks, costs and benefits of acquiring EVA in the context of the crowdsale and, if necessary, obtain any independent advice in this regard. Any interested person who is not in the position to accept or to understand the risks associated with the activity (incl. the risks related to the non-development of the Eventboost platform) or any other risks as indicated in the Terms & Conditions of the crowdsale should not acquire EVAs.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

This white paper shall not and cannot be considered as an invitation to enter into an investment. It does not constitute or relate in any way nor should be considered as an offering of securities in any jurisdiction. The white paper does not include nor contain any information or indication that might be considered as a recommendation or that might be used to base any investment decision. This document does not constitute an offer or an invitation to sell shares, securities or rights belonging to Eventboost or any related or associated company. The EVA is just a utility token which can be used only on the Eventboost platform and is not intended to be used as an investment.

The offering of EVA on a trading platform is done in order to access the Company’s platform, purchase services related exclusively to the latter and not for speculative purposes. The offering of EVA on a trading platform is not changing the legal qualification of the token, which remains a simple means for the use of the Eventboost platform and is not a security.

Eventboost is not to be considered as advisor in any legal, tax or financial matters. Any information in the white paper is given for general information purpose only and Eventboost does not provide with any warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of this information. Given the lack of crypto-token qualifications in most countries, each buyer is strongly advised to carry out a legal and tax analysis concerning the purchase and ownership of Eventboosts according to their nationality and place of residence.

Eventboost today is not a financial intermediary according to Swiss Law and is not required to obtain any authorization for Anti-Money Laundering purpose. This qualification may change in case Eventboost will offers services which are to be considered as qualifying a financial intermediation activity. In this case, the use of Eventboost services may require the positive conclusion of an AML/KYC identification process.

EVAs confer no direct or indirect right to Eventboost’s capital or income, nor does it confer any governance right within Eventboost; an EVA is not proof of ownership or a right of control over Eventboost and does not grant the controlling individual any asset or share in Eventboost, or in the Eventboost network. An EVA does not grant any right to participate in control over Eventboost’s management or decision-making set-up, or over the Eventboost network and governance to the Purchasers.

Regulatory authorities are carefully scrutinizing businesses and operations associated to cryptocurrencies in the world. In that respect, regulatory measures, investigations or actions may impact Eventboost’s business and even limit or prevent it from developing its operations in the future. Any person undertaking to acquire EVA must be aware of the Eventboost business model, the white paper or terms and conditions may change or need to be modified because of new regulatory and compliance requirements from any applicable laws in any jurisdictions. In such a case, purchasers and anyone undertaking to acquire EVA acknowledge and understand that neither Eventboost nor any of its affiliates shall be held liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage caused by such changes.

Eventboost will do its best to launch all of its operations. Any person undertaking to acquire EVA acknowledges and understands that the Company’s platform will function and provide access and services as at the launching of the crowdsale. Depending on further potential developments of the Company’s platform, other services may be released and offered to the Users.

On concluding the Commercial Operation, these tokens will be issued by a technical process referred to as a «Blockchain». This is an open source IT protocol over which the Company has no rights or liability in terms of its development and operation. The token distribution mechanism will be controlled by a Smart Contract; this involves a computer program that can be executed on the Ethereum network or on a blockchain network that is compatible with Smart Contract programming language. They acknowledge and understand therefore that Eventboost (incl. its bodies and employees) assumes no liability or responsibility for any loss or damage that would result from or relate to the incapacity to use EVAs, except in case of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

EVAs is based on the Ethereum protocol. Therefore, any malfunction, unplanned function or unexpected operation of the Ethereum protocol may cause the Eventboost network or Eventboosts to malfunction or operate in a way that is not expected. Ether, the native Ethereum Protocol account unit may itself lose value in a similar way to EVAs, and also in other ways.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Eventboost is considered one of the most influential and user-friendly event management and ticketing platforms on the market, helping event professionals all over the world increase guests attendance and create successful and unforgettable events.

The fully operational Eventboost platform serves over 160 regular customers in 28 Countries all over the world. Eventboost is used by Delta Air Lines, Audi, Nestlé, Havas Sport and Entertainment, Gildan Activewear, Diesel, Hostelworld, Volvo, Lamborghini, the City of Ottawa, plus many other respected brands and public organizations.

The event ticketing market is about to be revolutionized with the launch of the Eventboost Blockchain Ticketing platform (EBT), the most secure and efficient blockchain-based platform to sell fraud-proof, smart contract tickets for both B2B and B2C events.

EBT will be natively integrated with Eventboost, and its Open API Infrastructure will also enable third-party event management and ticketing systems to connect to EBT and gain the same benefits of customers using Eventboost’s platform for ticket sale.

Over the past 10 years, the event ticket marketplace has grown rapidly and made great progress at enabling consumers to instantly buy tickets online. But until now, ticket operators have been unable to solve many persistent issues affecting the event sale industry.

In this context, EBT will usher in a new era where ticket frauds, scalping and ticketing fees will be eliminated. Forever. We will redefine the way event planners, ticket buyers, and other ticketing systems currently handle ticket sale.

Our breakthrough platform will be used to issue and validate a new generation of fraud-proof event tickets. These tickets will be executed through event smart contracts and purchased with EVA, the EBT native cryptocurrency that ensures the secure execution of all operations.

Event organizers will be able to set rules and restrictions, monitor the ticket lifecycle, and even enable remuneration when buyers resell their ticket on the secondary market. Finally, organizers will be directly connected with ticket buyers, giving total control of the entire ticket sale process. Using EVA tokens to purchase tickets will ensure the security and the immediate execution of all transactions, including the permanent elimination of insane transaction fees, and “convenience fees.”

By removing third-party operators who previously withheld payments for days or even weeks, event organizers will now suddenly experience instant, full payment. And ticket buyers will also see reduced costs that reflect the actual price of the event.

Eventboost is already working on the development of a dedicated blockchain-based app: the EB App. This application will be available for web and mobile devices, enabling ticket buyers to interact with the EBT ecosystem. They will manage their ticket wallet, purchase tickets issued with EBT and resell them on the secondary market, and also store and use them at the event entry.

Using the revolutionary blockchain foundation, we will also launch the Eventboost innovative Privacy Management Solution (PMS), compliant with the new European General Data Protection

1

www.eventboost.io 6

Regulation (GDPR). Event organizers will be able to access event attendee personal data through the EBT platform and renew the personal data management authorization using EVA tokens as a form of incentive to ticket buyers. They will be able to access their personal data anytime, gaining benefit from the increased transparency and security provided by the EBT blockchain architecture.

This project is being developed with a coordinated effort from our talented team of successful entrepreneurs, expert managers, and respected advisors, who have many years of experience in the digital, blockchain, and startup world. Our passion, professionalism, and certainty in the fundamental role of new blockchain applications will foster the project success in the years ahead.

ABOUT EVENTBOOST

Eventboost is a cloud-based event management system helping event planners all over the world organize successful events, work more efficiently and effortlessly, and maximize return on investment when managing events.

The company was incorporated in June 2014 in Chiasso, Switzerland, by pioneers of the digital world in Italy, with three exits in their pocket and other successful former startups still in their portfolio. Eventboost offers a robust Web and Mobile Enterprise Cloud Platform sold as Software as a Service (SaaS) to manage the registration process for B2B and B2C events. The journey started in 2013 with a bold goal: create a fully integrated, user-friendly platform that would enable event professionals to simplify all guest management complexities before, during and after any kind of event.

The first online ticketing platforms (e.g. Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, etc.) reinvented the way consumers could buy tickets for events. But event organizers around the world were still managing events and registration with traditional tools (e.g. Excel spreadsheet, one by one email invitations, RSVP forms via pdf files, and paper lists to handle the check-in stage at the venues).

Eventboost decided to create intuitive guest registration and attendance tools that would redefine the entire workflow of guest management. The platform is now available in 7 languages (English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, and Russian). Organizers can:

* Manage private and public events

* Manage the event’s communication process by creating personalized email messages such as invitations, reminders, confirmations, save the date and many other types of messages

* Build beautiful and customized online event pages to collect guests’ details, preferences, and registrations (via online customized forms)

* Use Eventboost’s on-site printing technology to provide guests with customized name badges in different paper formats before or during the event

* Handle the check-in stage at the event with a dedicated app (iOS/Android) to scan QR/Barcode and search guests

* Manage post-event activities such as follow-up campaigns, “thank you” messages, surveys, analytics, reports, and much more

The platform has been live and fully operational since April 2015. Eventboost has now more than 160 regular customers in 28 different Countries. We operate primarily in Europe and the United States, but we are also selling in Asia, the Far East, and Australia. The company owns a C-Corp in New York City that operates in North, Central and South America, with licensed distributors in Spain, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, and Russia.

Over the past three years our company has been able to maintain a Churn Rate almost close to zero (0,6%) and our Recurring Annual Subscription Revenues are more than 70% of the total revenues, increasing organically by 100% every year. This achievement is all thanks to the determination and the daily job of our amazing team, who help us become trustworthy partners to the new customers we acquire every day.

EVENT TICKETING MARKET OVERVIEW In the last 10 years, the event ticketing industry has grown enormously, accumulating over $30 billion worth of transactions in 2017, with a forecasted increase of more than 76% in the period from 2018-20221.

These numbers refer to a variety of different types of events: sports, concerts, conferences, as well as business and charity events. Event planners all over the world rely on ticketing systems to organize their events, promote them, and sell tickets. The market acknowledges two kinds of ticketing platforms:

* Systems to promote events and sell tickets

* Event Management Systems (EMS) to manage the entire event workflow (manage registrations, send invitation messages as well as confirmations, reminders and post event follow-ups, create event ticketing websites, sell tickets online and on-site check-in)

All these systems enable consumers to effortlessly buy tickets online, from anywhere in the world, using any desktop or mobile device.

EBT: A SOLUTION TO MANY OF THE INDUSTRY’S KEY ISSUES

• PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EVENT TICKET MARKET

In the primary event ticket market, event organizers define and control the initial ticket price, and tickets are sold through online ticketing platforms such as TicketMaster, Eventbrite, StubHub, and much more. In secondary market, tickets purchased on the primary market are resold with no control on both price and authenticity.

Despite its unquestionable growth and expansion, the global ticket industry has failed to solve many crucial issues particularly related to the secondary event ticket market.

Some of the common problems that EBT intends to solve:

* Fake tickets

* Speculation & Scalping

* Lack of transparency

* Tickets transaction fees

* Reputation issues

• EVENT TICKET INDUSTRY MAIN ISSUES

Fake tickets

Counterfeit tickets are one of the biggest issues in the secondary market. Current technologies are unable to validate ticket authenticity, which is a problem for both event organizers and also buyers who want to use or resell their own tickets.

Speculation & Scalping

Scalpers significantly drive up the cost of tickets by purchasing large volumes, inflating the price, and then reselling them on the secondary market. This practice hurts both the event organizers and the ticket buyers: ticket buyers cannot afford tickets due to the insane markup applied to the original pricing, while event organizers lose a significant percentage of their targeted audience and potential revenue from merchandise, long term loyalty, etc.

With the implementation of our blockchain technology:

* The EBT platform enables the event organizer to issue smart contract tickets, which cannot be counterfeited or sold to multiple customers.

* Proof of ownership can be verified through the blockchain, and ticket holders can prove the ownership of their tickets without revealing any information besides the fact the ticket is theirs.

* Tickets can maintain data in the form of smart contract code. Therefore, if a ticket is resold, the original ticket information is still embedded in the framework.

www.eventboost.io 10

To make matters worse, the majority of ticketing platforms provide full or partial refunds of unused tickets. This allows scalpers to pocket the profit from the secondary market without significant risk, while event organizers lose income and profit.

Lack of transparency

The current technology is not able to provide high levels of transparency when managing tickets sale and transactions, especially in the secondary market. Indeed, when buyers resell their tickets, the event organizer loses track of that operation since eventual markups on the original ticket price cannot be determined, and the new ticket owner is unknown.

Transaction Fees

Transaction fees unnecessarily eat into event profits, so organizers often add a “convenience fee” to recoup those costs and further increase the price for buyers. Furthermore, payment processors usually delay deposits into the organizers bank account for 2-5 days. Sometimes payment is even delayed until after the event, which prevents organizers from covering the costs of the event with the profit from ticket sales.

Reputation issues

The EBT platform will create a trust system that prevents fraudulent activity and allows ticket buyers to identify ticket operators with a bad reputation.

Through blockchain technology and the execution of smart contracts, the EBT platform will create a built-in reputation-based system to ensure the quality of events created and managed through the system.

Our blockchain technology enables event organizers to:

* Decide whether tickets can be resold on the secondary market and set the maximum markup value.

* Add variants to the tickets and enable group ticket sale in both the primary and the secondary market.

* Augment tickets with smart contracts that manage the entire distribution chain and workflow.


* The transparency of all transactions and the ticket proof of ownership is ensured by smart contracts.

* Event organizers and all players involved have a full control of the ticket lifecycle and a secure access to all ticket operations.


* Inconvenient Transaction fees are eliminated, forever.

* Buyers can purchase tickets using EVA tokens and other supported cryptocurrencies.

* EBT will enable event organizer to transfer payments collected to their bank account instantly.


• CURRENT PLAYERS CANNOT OFFER A CONCRETE SOLUTION

Many players are currently leading the event ticketing industry with their centralized platforms:

Ticketmaster Ô Considered the main ticket sale platform, Ticketmaster enables event organizers to create and promote tickets for event. Organizers control the event while Ticketmaster sell the tickets acting as an agent.

Eventbrite Ô Eventbrite is an online ticketing platform providing an event management platform to manage registrations and on-site check-in. With over 2 million events hosted every year, Eventbrite has recently become one of the most adopted ticketing platforms for conferences, seminars, business and charity events, and concerts.

Cvent Ô Cvent is the most complete B2B event management platform providing event organizers with different solutions to manage registrations, travels, attendances, on-site registrations, and sell tickets online. Cvent is currently the most popular solution for large size corporations around the world.

StubHub Ô Originally founded as a small platform to buy and sell tickets, the system owned by eBay is now one of the largest ticketing platform operating in the secondary event sale market.


* The EBT platform will verify the identity of event planners, promoters, and other players involved in the ticketing sale process. They will be subjected to the Know Your Customer process (KYC) eliminating any risks of frauds.

* When a fake event is created on the system, EBT will notify the ticket buyer and shut the event down, ensuring the exclusion of the event from the platform and an automatic refund.

ALL LEADING COMPANIES HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS THE KEY PROBLEMS AFFECTING THE EVENT SALES INDUSTRY. THE EBT PLATFORM, USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND SMART CONTRACTS, WILL PROVIDE SOLUTIONS TO THESE ISSUES AND ENABLE SECURE AND TRANSPARENT PEER-TO-PEER TICKET TRANSACTIONS.


SOLUTIONS & PRODUCTS

THE EBT PLATFORM (Eventboost Blockchain Ticketing Platform)

• PLATFORM OVERVIEW

Over the past ten years, new technologies and innovative internet applications have produced a profound impact on the global ticketing market. Cloud-based event management systems and online ticketing solutions have rapidly changed the event sales industry.

The experience and success gained in building one of the most flexible and powerful event management platform available on the market, led us to the idea of using blockchain technology for ticket sale, validation, and management.

The EBT Platform will be a secure, efficient, decentralized platform, that provides event organizers, corporations and third-party ticketing systems with solutions to the biggest challenges currently affecting the event ticketing industry.

Our blockchain-based technology eliminates the limitations of existing centralized platforms, including counterfeit tickets, transaction fraud, and vulnerability to malicious attacks and single points of failure.

Event organizers can use the EBT Platform in two ways (see Fig. 2 - The EBT Ecosystem):

* In a natively integrated mode with Eventboost to experience an all-in-one tool to manage the whole event workflow and the ticket lifecycle.

* Using our Open API Infrastructure to connect their current ticketing system with EBT. Tickets will be configured on the third-party platform, but executed, validated and sold through the EB Smart Contracts.

Ticket buyers will use a high performing and user-friendly solution that will enable them to check and verify that the ticket purchased has been executed, validated, and secured in their wallet with no risk of fraud.

We will implement a new generation of event tickets, called EBTKTS, which is a type of non-fungible-token based on blockchain technology and regulated by event smart contracts.

We firmly believe that the broad adaptability and high flexibility of the EBT platform are the key elements for predictable scalability and growth.

All operations within the EBT Ecosystem are executed with its internal virtual currency, the EVA token, which will be used to set up the event’s smart contracts and handle all the transactions.

The transaction volume of EVA tokens will increase as a result of three key factors: the establishment of a stable customer base, the increase in events managed through the EBT platform, and the growth in the number of ticket transactions.

Fig. 2 - The EBT Ecosystem

Figure 2. shows the EBT Ecosystem architecture. The EBT Platform is the blockchain component that governs and controls the whole system. EBT will be natively integrated with the existing Eventboost Platform and makes it disruptive. The EB Open API Infrastructure is the key element of the new platform, representing the gateway to the advanced blockchain features. The EB Open API will interface the standard functionalities provided by the Eventboost Platform with the advanced capabilities originated by smart contracts.

Event organizers will continue using Eventboost to manage private and public events, communication towards guests, and post-event activities, but ticket sales and management will be powered and controlled by the advanced features of the breakthrough built-in blockchain infrastructure. Tickets will be created using smart contracts and managed by event planners independently through their Ethereum wallet. Ticket buyers will be able to purchase EBTKTS directly with their wallet using EVA tokens.

This innovative configuration represents a unique example in the event management history. Event organizers will finally be able to transparently interact directly with ticket buyers without intermediaries.

At the same time, third-party ticketing systems will be able to integrate with the EB Open API in order to connect their platforms to EBT. They will be able to use EBT to manage and track ticket sales, run EB Smart Contracts, and use the EB Wallet with EVA. This will eliminate costs related to expensive installation or complex configurations.


• EBTKTS: THE EVOLUTION OF TICKETS

The explosive growth of internet ecommerce and the ubiquity of smartphones, have made online electronic tickets (printed PDF or Bar/QR Codes on a phone) preferable over paper tickets.

Digital tickets have provided strong benefits:

* Reduction in box office lines

* Instant, global purchasing of online tickets

* Easy storage and retrieval of tickets from the cloud on any device

In this contest, Eventboost Blockchain Tickets (EBTKTS) will represent a further evolution of digital tickets. Tickets will be transformed into a secure digital asset, using blockchain and smart contracts controlled by the organizers, becoming the new standard for the event ticketing industry.

Each EBTKT is unique and can be managed using rules and restrictions previously defined, in total transparency for all platfor’s users. Also, each EBTKT will be a non-fungible-token on the Ethereum Blockchain: it can be managed and distributed to the EBT Ecosystem users' wallets according to predefined rules.

Purchased EBTKTS will be securely stored in the EB Digital Wallet, which will also enable buyers to resell and return the ticket. Ticket validation is ensured by EB Smart Contracts, which allow event organizers to monitor the entire ticket sale lifecycle (from issuance through redemption), and the transparency of all operations. Also, with the adoption of the EBT Blockchain Technology, event organizers will be able to regulate ticket payments, fees, commissions and any other form of exchange and resale.

• TOKEN IMPLEMENTATION

Blockchain technology is ideal for for event ticket sale because it eliminates any form of unauthorized and unverified human activities in the ticket sales processes.

The EBT Platform is the digital environment where all operations will be executed through its cryptocurrency: the EVA Token.

Although end-users can pay with fiat currencies or other cryptocurrencies, the EBT Platform will foster the utilization of EVA tokens. All significant ticketing benefits (such as discounts, early bird, priority seating, etc.) will be available only for consumers using EVA.

EVA Tokens can be used for:

* Ticket purchase, resale, return or exchange.

* Payments to cover the event expenses such as vendors, sponsors, etc.

* Purchase Eventboost products and other services related to the event (i.e., event app, event insurance, etc.).

* Profit distribution among all players involved (event organizers, promoters, ticketing systems, etc).

• THE EB APP

The EB App is a graphical user interface which allows ticket owners to interact with the EBT Ecosystem. It is a client application for web and mobile devices, and a server application able to manage data storage and interactions with the blockchain.

The EB App can handle:


* Ticket Wallet management, using Open API

* Ticket purchase

* Ticket storage

* Ticket exchange and transfer

* Ticket resale rules set by the event organizer

* Communication with other ticket holders

* Event entry (ticket QR code for the on-site check-in stage)

The EB App represents an advanced interface for ticket buyers to simplify all procedures related to ticket purchase, resale, transfer, and redemption. All operations and transactions made with and through the EB App are settled and authorized by EB Smart Contracts (using the EB Open API) following the rules established by the event organizer before the ticket issuance.

The EB App allows the ticket buyer to operate transactions and purchase tickets in two different ways:

* Through EVA Tokens available in the Wallet (discounts apply when using EVA)

* By any fiat or cryptocurrency supported by the ticketing system

The EB App allows buyers to search for event tickets, register a new account or login, and purchase the ticket using either EVA tokens or debit/credit card.

• THE EB OPEN API INFRASTRUCTURE The EB Open API Infrastructure will represent the virtual bridge between current event management systems or ticketing platforms (not only event tickets) and the EBT Blockchain Layer. While the Eventboost Platform will be natively integrated with the EBT Platform, third-party ticketing operators and event management systems will be able to use the Open API infrastructure to connect with EBT.

The EB Open API is a software library that allows third-parties to interface with the core components of the blockchain technology on which the EBT platform is built. These components are:

* An Ethereum wallet that allows event organizers and third-party ticketing platforms to: a) generate EBTKTS using smart contracts b) receive and collect payments in EVA token

* A series of event smart contracts to generate EBTKTS and manage associated information such as ticket price, ticket description, ticket category, and much more).

This innovative solution won’t replace the third-party ticketing operators’ traditional system but will allow them to issue EBTKTS directly with the EBT Platform, giving them access to the most secure and transparent blockchain based ticketing system.

Existing ticketing systems, event organizers, and consumers will now be able to benefit from the adoption of our blockchain technology:

* Third-party ticket operators will provide their customers with an innovative and fraud-proof solution to sell tickets for their events.

* Event organizers will be able to control the entire event lifecycle by setting up the rules executed by smart contracts.

* Ticket buyers will purchase tickets securely and with no risk of frauds using EVA tokens.

Persuading third-party ticket operators and resellers to integrate with the EBT platform via Open API will entail considerable efforts concerning both marketing and sales.


• HOW THE PLATFORM WORKS 1. Opening an account

The event organizer opens an account on the Eventboost platform through the EB App, using EVA tokens or other crypto or fiat currencies (a discount applies when using EVA). In case of fiat or other supported cryptocurrencies, the order placed is automatically converted into EVA tokens. For new accounts, the application will automatically generate an Ethereum Wallet through the EB Open API.

When the account is active, the organizer will be able to interface with the EBT blockchain layer and use all available components provided by Eventboost.

The EBT platform is natively integrated with Eventboost and enables the event organizer to configure events and sell tickets using the EBT blockchain technology and EB Smart Contracts.

If the event organizer is using a third-party event management or ticketing system, he can integrate his platform with EBT through the EB Open API Infrastructure to execute smart contracts, sell tickets in EVA, validate tickets transactions, and send them to the buyer’s EB Ticket Wallet. In other words, they will continue configuring and selling tickets on their current platforms, but they will use the EBT platform in a transparent mode to benefit from the latest blockchain technology.


2. Defining an event

2.1. Creating and defining the event

The event planner can create an event using the Eventboost platform in its standard mode. In this phase, the organizer will be able to:

* Configure private and public events

* Manage the event’s communication process creating personalized email messages such as invitations, reminders, confirmations, save the date and many more messages

* Build beautiful and customized online event pages to collect guests’ details, preferences, and registrations (via online customized forms)

* Use the Eventboost on-site printing technology to print customized guest name badges in different paper formats before and during the event

* Manage the check-in stage at the event with a dedicated and strictly integrated tablet App (iOS/Android Tablets) to scan QR/Barcode and search guests by the last name

* Manage post-event activities such as follow-up campaign, “thank you” messages, surveys, analytics, reports, and much more.

2.2. Setting the EBTKTS requirements

When the event is configured, the event planner will be able to define EBTKTS requirements. EBTKTS are generated through EB Smart Contracts and deployed by the organizer through the EB Open API Infrastructure. During this phase, the event planner will be able to define the following EBTKTS features:

* Ticket description

* Ticket category (single buyer, multiple buyers, type of buyer, groups, variants, early bird, discounted, etc.)

* Amount of tickets

* Ticket fees (if any)

* Ticket resale policy

* Maximum ticket resale markup amount/percentage

* Ticket Resale fees or commissions

* Ticket return policy


* Ticket returns fees (if any)

* Ticket cancellation rules, including timing and fees (if any)

* Profit distribution among ticketing system, organizer, promoters and any other player involved

Once rules and restrictions are set, the smart contract will generate EBTKTS to start the sales process on the EBT platform.

3. Buy or sell an event

The ticket buyer can search the event on the EB App using different keywords (event name, location, event list, event price, artist, and much more).

Once the user has chosen the desired event, they will use EBT to initiate an EB Smart Contract to purchase an EBTKT. The EB Smart Contract will check that all requirements are met (ticket availability, eventual availability of EVA token in the buyer's wallet, possibility to transfer the ticket, etc.) and transfer the EBTKTS to the buyer's wallet.


THE PRIVACY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION (PMS)

• SOLUTION OVERVIEW

The new European General Data Protection Regulation has replaced the previous 1995 European data protection directive. General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, will overhaul how businesses currently process and handle data.

The new directive will enter into force on May 25, 2018, and European corporations, as well as not European Organizations (but operating in one or more EU Member States), must become compliant with these new procedures within the end of the year. Companies, Startups, individuals, Charity Organizations and other entities will be covered by the GDPR either as “controllers” or as “processors” of personal data.

The definitions of “personal data” and “sensitive personal data” are mainly the same as those within current data protection laws, and can relate to all information that is collected through automated processes.

However, there are several differences between the previous and the current regulation:

* The pseudonyms: personal data can be anything that allows a living person to be directly or indirectly identified. It involves a name, an email address, or even an IP address. It includes automated personal data, and it can also encompass pseudonymised data if a person can be identified from it.

* Individuals have the following rights: a. the right to be informed; b. the right of access; c. the right to rectification; d. the right to erasure; e. the right to restrict processing; f. the right to data portability; g. the right to object; h. the right not to be subject to automated decision-making. including profiling.

With our blockchain architecture, we will keep a trust-less audit trail for data interactions and manage access to user data. EBTKTS will distribute encrypted and sensitive user data securely.

Our platform will offer advantages to event attendees, event organizers, and service providers.

• BENEFITS FOR EVENT ATTENDEES

* Access the personal data the event organizer hold on them through Eventboost

* Know exactly how the data is being used

* Ask for errors to be rectified

* Stop or restrict the processing of their data

* Obtain and reuse their personal data

* Request and execute the deletion of their data

* Use the service provided to handle their personal data, even when attending events managed with third-party event management/ticketing system (right to data portability).


* Be rewarded if they accept with a small amount of EVA tokens each time the event organizer asks to use their personal data after the license expiration date.

• BENEFITS FOR EVENT ORGANIZERS

* They are keeping personal data safe and secure.

* They can respond to data access requests.

* They use data in a transparent, appropriate, fair and permitted way.

* They have appropriate data management processes and controls in place.

* They have ways of minimizing errors, correcting inaccuracies and deleting data.

* They can respond thanks to us within 72 hours in the event of a data breach

* In case of a dispute, there is an audit trail of third-party contracts made with users who registered/attended an event.

* User's data will be stored in a third-party user-trusted location. Permission management and data-interaction will be logged within the blockchain.

In details, the organizers can define and easily document: a. all the personal data being stored b. the event where the data was acquired c. all the entities who shared accessed to the data d. timestamps from when the data was shared e. the length of time the shared data was under third party control

• HOW IT WORKS

* Organizers set up the event on the Eventboost platform

* Organizers upload the invitee list for the event (or they use existing lists stored in the Evenboost platform)

* If a guest has already registered for an event promoted through Eventboost in the past, and he gave the consent to his data management, the registration process is instantaneous. Indeed, before finalizing the registration and the purchase, the guest can log in his data management dashboard (provided by Eventboost). and the registration form will be automatically populated with the guest personal details.

* If a guest registers for the first time, the Eventboost platform will enable him to create his data management account in few steps.

* Data will be stored and encrypted in a third-party event attendee data escrow server, and each operation will be registered and secured within the blockchain.

* Each time the attendee allows the event organizer to access his personal data, he gains a small amount of EVA set by the organizer and executed through the blockchain. The token/s will be released and paid by the event organizer if the guest grants him access to his personal data until the end of data usage expiration date.

* If the attendee blocks the access to his personal data before the end of the period, the event organizer will be immediately notified (by email, message or with a CRM notification if any


integration is in place), and the smart contract will take off the token the attendee previously received.

* At the end of the data period of validity, the organizer can use the Eventboost platform to request an update. The cost for the update service will be paid in EVA per User. Tokens will be distributed through smart contract to Eventboost and to the attendee to compensate the update of the data.


THE EVENT SERVICE MARKETPLACE AND OTHER SERVICES

• SOLUTION OVERVIEW

Event organizers are fully aware of the complexity of organizing events. Event registration and ticketing are crucial, but there are also other aspects that every event planner has to take care of to make the event a success.

A few of the main challenges that any event organizer has to deal with include: on-site guest engagement tools, insurance services (for the venue, the equipment, guests, etc.), venue booking, vendor selection, sponsor management, and A/V providers.

Selecting among a variety of different vendors as well as using new products and services might be risky, difficult to handle, and sometimes stressful. For this reason, we envisioned the development of an event service marketplace integrated with our platform.

Our customers could buy partner products and services using EVA tokens. The smart contracts will keep the network reliable and encourage fair compensation.

• EVENT APP FOR GUESTS

Over the last few years, event apps have radically changed the way event organizers manage on-site guest communication and engagement. The event app facilitates interaction with participants and helps event planners provide guests with information about the event (agenda, locations, speakers, attendees, documents, QR/Bar code management, and much more).

Also, the use of the event app enables the event planner to engage guests during the event. The organizer can activate private social networks (where guests can post pictures, videos, comments, and chat with other attendees) and enable interactive functionalities such as live polls, real-time surveys, Q&A sessions, and mobile rewarding “gamification” tools.

Some “gamification” tools are:

* The “Leaderboard” – it allows the organizer to track guests’ interaction through the app and reward them at the end of the event. For instance, points can be assigned when a guest posts a picture on the social network, asks a question using the Q&A function, answer a live survey/poll, and much more.

* The “Sponsor Engagement” - this enables the event planner to drive measurable traffic from the attendees to the event sponsors’ booth and banner. For instance, QR codes are hidden throughout the venue (at the sponsor’s booth or next to their banner logo) and to be rewarded, guests need to scan and collect them all. Guests are motivated to visit sponsors’ booths and event sponsors are happy to increase the visibility of their brand.

Through the EBT platform, event organizers will be able to:

* Add fully customizable and integrated event apps for guests (provided by our partners). The organizer can purchase the event app with either EVA tokens or fiat currencies (a discount is always applied when purchasing products and services with EVA).


* Track guests’ interactions at the event through the execution of smart contracts (when Leaderboard and other “gamification” tools are enabled).

* Connect sponsors with event attendees and reward them with EVA tokens. Event organizers will be able to purchase on the EBT platform other products and services provided by our partners such as:

* On-stage live services

* Check-in equipment (QR/Bar code scanners, tablets, name badge printers, wi-fi routers)

* Venue reservation (through integrated venue booking platforms)

* Travel and accommodation booking * Insurance Services

During these weeks, a sliding scale of bonuses will be applied: • Day 1 and 2 - 15% bonus • Day 3 and 4 - 10% bonus • Day 5 and 6 - 5% bonus • Day 7 until the end of the ICO - No bonus Before the public sale takes place, a private pre-sale phase will be held for strategic buyers, which will offer bonuses for volume purchases.

Should there be any unsold tokens at end of the full sale period, all remaining unsold tokens will be not created. The sale will cease when all tokens are sold. All partners and employees at Eventboost will be allocated tokens as part of this sale, with a maximum total of 4% of the total tokens minted for all employees combined. These tokens will vest on a gradually increasing scale over a two-year period, starting six months from the final day of the sale period. An additional 4% of tokens has been set aside as an additional long-term retention incentive for existing and new team members. None of these tokens have been allocated yet and will not be allocated until 1 January 2019, at which point they will also be subject to a vesting schedule. TOKEN TECHNICAL INFO

The EVA token will be an Ethereum-based token of value. The token is a digital asset, bearing value by itself based on its underlying assets, properties and/or associated rights.

Ethereum-based tokens rely on a well-established Ethereum infrastructure, benefiting from several advantages:

* Security and predictability (as opposed to, for example, having to run an independent blockchain network).

* Use of robust and well-supported clients (Ethereum-based tokens can be managed with official Ethereum clients).

* High liquidity (interchangeable with other Ethereum-based tokens or Ether), easier listing on exchanges with infrastructure already in place.

EVA Ethereum-based token contract complies with the ERC20 standard. More detailed info about the ERC20 standard can be obtained from: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/20

After the ICO, all the products/services available on the Eventboost website could be purchased in EVA with a discount compared to the original price payable in fiat currency.
