Malls & More will invite individuals on a discretionary basis including recommendations and references of existing Users. The aim is to create a network of competent, decision making and contributing professionals. This is not a platform for the curious and occasionally interested.

4.2. All free memberships require the users to be active as described above and to contribute to Malls & More in form of postings to all areas of the service including articles, forums, comments and special sections such as listings of projects, retailers, etc. Malls & More will require a minimum level of contributions. Details of the required level of contribution will be defined in more detail during alpha and beta stages. The required level of contribution will be most likely calculated using factors to determine the relevance, quality and access to the contribution over a certain period. First Members (FM), Early Members (EM) and all future free Membership Roles will be subject to this rule of required minimum level of contributions.

For details please refer to Requirements for Active Contributing Members.

4.3. Malls & More are aware that at some point a maximum level of contributions may have to be introduced.

4.5. First Members (FM) are founding members and shall have free lifetime membership with unlimited personal access to basic and most premium services.

4.6. While FMs and later EMs will enjoy free membership to most areas of this site, there may well be areas that will have additional access limitations related to specific roles not yet envisaged or an additional annual fee may be charged in order to offer the services to members with a real need and commercial interest in these.

4.7. Malls & More will form a Reserve representing 10% of the company’s value from the start of the beta stage for the first six years of the business to benefit all active First Members based on the following requirements. First Members shall be entitled to a share of paid out profits from year three onwards.

4.8. All First Members who have been active and contributing members for the first three years of Malls & More online life without interruption shall share the Reserve defined above. During the following three years; year 4 to 6, the following terms shall apply:

4.8.1. Malls & More will confirm all remaining FMs at the end of the initial 3 years and issue each FM with a certificate stating the size of his or her share calculated by dividing the 10% Reserve by the number of remaining FMs.

4.8.2. The reverse is related to value of Malls & More and not to shares in the company and has no voting rights.

Malls & More may offer EMs to become an FM in case a vacancy arises during the beta stage. If the opportunity arises to upgrade an EM to FM Malls & More will decide this on the basis of the consecutive membership number divided by the number of contributions of the EM with the lowest number being upgraded. This means an EM with a high number of contributions will have a greater chance of being upgraded.

4.10. Once the beta stage is completed no more FMs will be created.

4.11. Early Members (EM) are subject to the same required minimum level of contributions as FMs.

4.12. During alpha and beta stages corporate memberships will not be considered. Corporate memberships will be on a fee only basis and may be limited to Basic Services.
