GivePeace Digital Legacy Designation Agreement

Version 1.0 — Effective July 30, 2026

This Digital Legacy Designation Agreement (the "Agreement") is between you and Give Peace Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Give Peace," "we," "us," or "our"). It governs the two most important choices you make on GivePeace: who receives each message you seal, and who serves as your trustee. We call each of those choices a designation.

This Agreement deliberately stands apart from our Terms of Service. You accept it separately, at the moment you first make a designation, with its own step. We built it this way on purpose: the law in most U.S. states gives the highest priority to directions a person records in a dedicated online tool — an agreement distinct from a provider's ordinary terms of service — and we want your choices to carry all the weight the law can give them.

Words defined in the Terms of Service mean the same thing here. In particular: a member is an account holder ("you"); a trustee is a person a member appoints for death notification and confirmation only; a recipient is the person a member chooses to receive a specific message; an armed message is a recorded message set to be released after the member passes away; and release is our delivery process after death verification completes, including the 48-hour final call.

If anything in this Agreement is unclear, write to us at support@givepeace.co. On an app like this, "what does this mean for me?" should never be a mystery.

1. What a Designation Is

1.1 A present direction, effective now. A designation is a direction you give us today, while you are alive — not something that waits until you pass away to exist. The moment you choose a recipient for a message, or name a trustee, you have given Give Peace a binding contractual instruction, and we are bound to honor it from that moment on. What waits until after your death is only our performance — the delivery itself. The direction is effective now.

1.2 Two kinds of designation.

(a) A recipient designation: when you seal a message, you choose the person it is for. That choice directs us to deliver that message to that recipient, and to no one else, after your death is verified.

(b) A trustee designation: you name a person whose only role is to tell us when you have passed away, and to confirm or contest what others report.

1.3 Revocable, always. Every designation is revocable by you at any time while you are alive. Section 4 states this guarantee in full, because it is the heart of this Agreement.

1.4 Your designations direct us — not the people you name. A designation is an instruction to Give Peace. It places no obligation on the person you name:

(a) Recipients are not notified. Designating a recipient does not tell them anything. The first a recipient learns that a message exists is when it is delivered to them.

(b) Trustees must accept for themselves. Naming a trustee gives that person no role and no authority by itself. They become your trustee only once consent is recorded through the Service: for a person you invite, by receiving the invitation we send, opening it, and explicitly accepting — and the invitation expires after 45 days if they do not; where the Service matches a person you named by phone, only after you confirm that match, as the Terms of Service describes. When they accept, they do so under the Trustee & Recipient Terms: their own agreement with us, separate from yours.

1.5 If you never designate. If you never arm a message and never name a trustee, this Agreement never takes effect for you, and the default rules in the Terms of Service apply instead.

2. The Law Behind This Agreement

2.1 Give Peace is a custodian of your digital assets. Your sealed messages and videos are electronic records in which you have a right or interest — what the digital-assets laws of most U.S. states (based on the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act) call digital assets, held by Give Peace as their custodian.

2.2 This Agreement is the online tool. Under those laws, this Agreement is the online tool: your use of an electronic service, in an agreement distinct from the terms of service, to direct the disclosure — and the non-disclosure — of your digital assets. Every designation you make under this Agreement is such a direction.

2.3 Priority over other records. Your designations are intended to have priority over any contrary direction in a will, a trust, a power of attorney, or any other record, to the extent such laws apply. If your will says one thing about your messages and your designations here say another, you intend — and we will treat — the designation recorded here as controlling. Because these laws condition that priority on your freedom to modify or delete your directions at all times, Section 4's guarantee is not just a kindness; it is what makes your designations outrank everything else.

2.4 Where those laws do not apply. Not every state has enacted such a law, and enactments vary. Where no such law applies, your designations still bind us in full as your contractual directions under this Agreement, and your consent under federal law (Section 3) still stands. We honor recorded designations everywhere, the same way, whatever state you live in.

2.5 The law's word for the people you choose. These statutes call a person chosen through an online tool a "designated recipient," and they say expressly that such a person is not held to the legal standards of a fiduciary. That matches this Agreement exactly: your trustee is designated only to carry out the narrow role described in Section 5.3, and each message recipient is the person to whom you direct disclosure of that message. No one is made a fiduciary (Section 5).

2.6 Our terms never override you. Nothing in our Terms of Service, and nothing anywhere else in our documents, overrides, narrows, or redirects a designation you record here. If the Terms of Service and this Agreement ever appear to conflict about who receives a message or who serves as trustee, this Agreement controls.

3. Your Consent Under the Stored Communications Act

3.1 The law, plainly. A federal law — the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2702 — limits when a service like ours may disclose the contents of the communications it stores. Among its exceptions, it permits disclosure to the "addressee or intended recipient" of a communication, and disclosure made with the "lawful consent" of the person who originated the communication. Your designations are built to satisfy both, so that delivering your messages is lawful in every state.

3.2 What each recipient designation grants. Each time you designate a recipient for a message, you state and agree that:

(a) you are the originator of that message;

(b) the recipient you named is its addressee and intended recipient; and

(c) you give your express, lawful consent under the Stored Communications Act for Give Peace to disclose that message — its video, its sound, and its words — to that recipient, once your death has been verified and release completes under the Death Verification & Posthumous Release Policy.

3.3 What you direct us not to disclose. By the same designation, you direct us not to disclose that message, or your other communications on the Service, to anyone other than the recipient you named — including a personal representative, executor, or administrator of your estate — except as our Legal Process & Estate Requests Policy describes or as the law requires. Your messages go to the people you chose, and only to them. That is the promise you are recording, and this direction is what lets us keep it when someone else comes asking.

3.4 These consents survive you. Your consent and your non-disclosure direction under this Section take effect immediately, continue while you are alive, and survive your death — that is their entire purpose. You can withdraw or change them at any time while you are alive by changing the designation itself (Section 4).

4. Always Yours to Change

4.1 Editable and revocable at all times while you are alive. You may add, change, or remove designations at any time while you are alive: choose a different recipient, delete a message, name a new trustee, remove a trustee. Changes take effect immediately, the moment you make them.

4.2 We never freeze a living member's designations. Not while a death report about you is pending. Not during any waiting period or countdown. Not during the 48-hour final call. There is no state of the Service in which a living member is locked out of editing or revoking their designations. If someone has reported you dead and you are alive, one tap on "I'm alive" stops the process — and your designations were editable the entire time.

4.3 How revocation works. Removing a recipient or deleting a message revokes that message's designation. Deleting a message is permanent: it is removed from your plan for good and will never be delivered to anyone. Removing a trustee ends that trustee designation immediately. Revoking one designation never disturbs the others.

4.4 We keep the record. We record each designation, each change, and each revocation, with its date and time. Years from now, when you can no longer speak for yourself, that record is how we prove we did exactly what you directed — nothing more, nothing less.

5. What This Agreement Is Not

5.1 Not a will. This Agreement and your designations are a present, revocable, contractual direction to a service provider, effective now, while you are alive. They are not a will, a trust, or any other testamentary instrument, and they are not a substitute for one. They transfer no property. They dispose of nothing in your estate. They appoint no executor and no guardian.

5.2 A message cannot bequeath assets. Your messages carry your words — they cannot carry your property. You may not use a message to make a gift, a bequest, or a direction about property, and the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines prohibit it. A message that says "the ring is yours" delivers words, not the ring; the ring passes under your will or your state's law, never under this app. If you want to leave property to someone, please make a legal will with an attorney or a service built for that. We would genuinely rather you have both: a will for your things, GivePeace for your words.

5.3 No fiduciary is appointed. A trustee's only role is to tell us a person has passed away, and to confirm or contest what others have reported. A trustee is not a fiduciary, does not hold or inherit anything, and can never see who a person's recipients are, which messages exist, or what any message says. Nothing in this Agreement — and no designation made under it — appoints a trustee, a recipient, or anyone else as an executor, agent, attorney-in-fact, guardian, or fiduciary of any kind.

5.4 The everyday word "will." In the app we sometimes call your collection of sealed messages your "will." That word is used in its everyday, heartfelt sense — the things you want said — never its legal sense. Section 5.1 is the rule; the app's warmth does not change it.

6. Who, Not When

6.1 This Agreement governs who. Who receives each message. Who serves as trustee. Who may not receive your communications. That is its whole territory.

6.2 The Death Verification & Posthumous Release Policy governs when — and whether. How a death is reported, corroborated, and verified; the waiting periods; the review of death certificates; the 48-hour final call we send before every release; and the rule that "I'm alive" always wins — all of that lives in the Death Verification & Posthumous Release Policy, and nothing in this Agreement shortens, accelerates, or bypasses any of it. A designation names the destination; it never starts the journey.

6.3 A direction, not a guarantee. Designating a recipient directs delivery; it does not guarantee delivery or its timing. The Terms of Service and the Death Verification & Posthumous Release Policy describe plainly how delivery can fail or be delayed, and why deliberate slowness is a design we chose: releasing a living person's messages by mistake is the one failure we refuse to risk. Delays are part of the design, and your designations operate inside it.

7. Accepting This Agreement

7.1 Who may designate. As the Terms of Service provide, you must be at least 18 years old to arm messages or name trustees. Because those are the acts through which designations are made, only members 18 or older enter this Agreement.

7.2 When and how you accept. You accept this Agreement electronically, the first time you arm a message or name a trustee. We present it at that step, and your acceptance is its own act — separate from your acceptance of the Terms of Service or anything else. Our servers record the version you accepted and when you accepted it. Every designation you make afterward is made under this Agreement.

7.3 Electronic records and signatures. You agree that this Agreement, your acceptance of it, and every designation, change, and revocation you make are electronic records and electronic signatures, and that they may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because they are electronic, consistent with the federal E-SIGN Act and state equivalents. You consent to receive this Agreement, and notices about your designations, electronically — in the app and by email to your account address.

7.4 Copies. You can read this Agreement in the app and at givepeace.co at any time, and you may request a copy by emailing support@givepeace.co, free of charge.

7.5 If you no longer want to transact electronically. GivePeace is an electronic service, so designations can only be made and maintained electronically. If you no longer wish to deal with us electronically, you may revoke your designations and delete your account at any time. Stepping away from electronic dealings does not undo designations you already recorded; they stand until you revoke them.

8. If You Delete Your Account

8.1 Deletion ends your designations. Deleting your account starts the 30-day grace period described in the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. When deletion becomes permanent, your designations end with the account — with one narrow exception, below.

8.2 The delivery archive. As the Privacy Policy describes, deletion preserves a minimal delivery archive — an encryption key and message references — solely so that armed messages you acknowledged and chose to leave armed when you deleted your account can still deliver. For those messages, and only those, the recipient designations you recorded survive deletion, so the delivery you set up can still complete. If you would rather nothing ever deliver, delete or disarm your messages before deleting your account, and nothing will.

8.3 If you pass away during the grace window. If you pass away during the 30-day grace period, messages you left armed still deliver through the delivery archive; the rest of the deletion completes. Your designations for those messages are honored even then.

9. If the Service Ever Winds Down

9.1 The commitments that follow your designations. The Terms of Service bind us — and any acquirer or successor — to real commitments if Give Peace ever has to shut down: at least 90 days' advance notice, and your choice among (a) exporting your unreleased messages free of charge, (b) opting in to transfer your sealed messages — together with the designations and delivery schedule you set — to a named successor custodian bound in writing to terms no less protective, or (c) immediate deletion. Deliveries already in flight for members who have passed away complete first.

9.2 Your designations never transfer without you. A transfer to a successor happens only if you elect it. If you make no choice and no successor exists, destruction of your messages and keys is the default — and your designations end with them. Your designations, like your messages, will never become an asset in someone else's hands by our inaction.

10. Severability and Survival

10.1 Of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest remains in force.

10.2 Of each designation. Every designation is severable, and a designation invalid in one respect survives in every other respect. If a designation is ineffective as to one recipient, your designations for other messages and recipients stand. If a trustee designation fails — because the person never accepts, resigns, or is ineligible — your recipient designations are untouched. If the law of your state does not give a designation priority over a will, the designation still operates in full as your lawful consent under the Stored Communications Act and as your binding contractual direction to us. A designation is honored to the fullest extent it lawfully can be, in every respect it lawfully can be.

10.3 Survival. Your designations, and your consents and directions under Section 3, survive your death to the extent needed to complete the deliveries you set up and honor the choices you made in life. This Agreement survives for the same purpose.

10.4 Termination for violation. The Terms of Service provide that if we terminate your account for a material violation, your sealed, unreleased messages are not delivered. That is a limit on the service we perform, not a disclosure of your messages: even then, we honor your non-disclosure direction under Section 3.3. A terminated account's messages are not delivered to anyone you did not choose — and they are not handed to anyone else, either.

11. Disputes, Governing Law, and This Agreement's Place

11.1 Between you and us only. This Agreement binds only you and Give Peace. It does not bind your trustees, your recipients, your heirs, or your estate's representatives. Trustees and recipients have their own agreement — the Trustee & Recipient Terms, which they accept for themselves — and requests from estates and courts are governed by the Legal Process & Estate Requests Policy.

11.2 Disputes. You are a member of the Service, and any dispute between you and Give Peace arising out of or relating to this Agreement is resolved under the Dispute Resolution section of the Terms of Service you accepted — including its 60-day informal-resolution step and your right to opt out of arbitration.

11.3 Governing law. Like the Terms of Service, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules — except that the digital-assets law that applies to your designations is generally that of your own state, and nothing in this Agreement takes away any protection that law gives you or your designations.

12. Changes to This Agreement

12.1 Versions. We may update this Agreement as the Service and the law evolve. The version and effective date appear at the top. We archive prior versions and will provide them on request to support@givepeace.co.

12.2 Notice you can act on. For material changes, we will give you at least 30 days' advance notice by email and in the app before the new version takes effect.

12.3 Changes never take your designations. No update to this Agreement will ever revoke a designation you recorded, reduce your right to edit or revoke your designations at all times while you are alive, or weaken the non-disclosure direction in Section 3.3 without your affirmative consent. Designations you recorded under an earlier version remain in force under the new one until you change them.
