GSCA eOrigin C2C Transfer & Marketplace Terms

Effective Date: August 9, 2026
Last Updated: August 9, 2026

Global Standard Certified Alliance ("GSCA"), operated by Techevent Limited and its affiliated entities ("GSCA", "we", "us", or "our"), provides digital trust infrastructure and related services that may support the identification, verification, provenance, transfer, and record management of eligible digital and physical assets.

These eOrigin C2C Transfer & Marketplace Terms ("eOrigin Terms") govern the use of GSCA eOrigin services for transactions or transfers between individuals or other eligible parties, including circumstances where an asset is transferred from one party to another through an applicable GSCA-enabled environment.

For purposes of these Terms:

  1. Seller means a party offering or transferring an eligible asset;

  2. Buyer means a party acquiring or receiving an eligible asset;

  3. Asset means an eligible physical or digital item associated with an eOrigin record;

  4. eOrigin Record means a digital record maintained through the applicable GSCA system in connection with an eligible asset;

  5. Transfer means the authorized digital transfer or update of the relevant eOrigin record from one party to another.

These Terms form part of the broader GSCA legal framework and should be read together with the GSCA Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Payment, Billing & Refund Policy, Certification & Verification Policy, Acceptable Use & Trust Integrity Policy, Intellectual Property & Trademark Policy, and Security & Responsible Disclosure Policy.

 

1. Purpose of eOrigin

eOrigin is designed to provide a digital trust layer for eligible assets by associating an asset with a digital identity and related information that may support:

  1. Asset identification;

  2. Digital identity;

  3. Provenance;

  4. Verification;

  5. Ownership or authorized control records;

  6. Transfer history;

  7. Transaction-related records;

  8. Supporting documentation;

  9. Status management.

eOrigin is intended to help create a verifiable digital history associated with an eligible asset.

The specific information and functions available may vary according to the applicable GSCA service.

 

2. C2C Transactions

GSCA may provide infrastructure enabling eligible parties to transfer an eOrigin-enabled asset between one another.

A C2C transaction may generally involve:

Seller → GSCA eOrigin → Buyer

The GSCA system may record the relevant transfer event and update the applicable eOrigin record according to the applicable process.

GSCA does not necessarily act as the seller, buyer, owner, agent, broker, dealer, or legal representative of either party.

 

3. GSCA as a Digital Trust Infrastructure Provider

Unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular service, GSCA provides the digital infrastructure supporting the relevant identity, verification, and transfer record.

GSCA does not:

  1. Take ownership of the underlying asset;

  2. Become the seller of the asset;

  3. Become the buyer of the asset;

  4. Act as an agent for either party;

  5. Guarantee the commercial value of the asset;

  6. Guarantee the condition of the asset;

  7. Guarantee the future resale value of the asset;

  8. Guarantee the performance of the underlying asset;

  9. Guarantee that a transaction will result in a successful delivery.

The parties remain responsible for the underlying transaction.

 

4. Seller Responsibilities

A Seller using eOrigin must have the legal right or appropriate authority to offer and transfer the relevant asset.

The Seller is responsible for ensuring that:

  1. Information provided about the asset is accurate;

  2. The Seller has authority to transfer the asset;

  3. The asset is not unlawfully obtained;

  4. The asset is not subject to undisclosed restrictions that prevent transfer;

  5. Required documentation is accurate;

  6. Any statements made to the Buyer are truthful;

  7. The transaction complies with applicable laws and regulations.

The Seller must not use eOrigin to facilitate fraud, counterfeit goods, stolen property, unauthorized transfers, or other unlawful activities.

 

5. Buyer Responsibilities

The Buyer is responsible for conducting appropriate due diligence before completing a transaction.

The Buyer should consider, where appropriate:

  1. The identity of the Seller;

  2. The condition of the asset;

  3. The description of the asset;

  4. Supporting documentation;

  5. The current eOrigin verification status;

  6. Provenance information;

  7. Transfer history;

  8. Applicable restrictions;

  9. Applicable laws and regulations.

The Buyer should not rely solely on an eOrigin record to determine every aspect of an underlying transaction.

 

6. Asset Information

Information associated with an eOrigin record may originate from:

  1. The Seller;

  2. A previous owner;

  3. An authorized issuer;

  4. A manufacturer;

  5. A participating organization;

  6. GSCA;

  7. Other authorized sources.

GSCA may identify the source of information where appropriate.

Where information is supplied by a third party, GSCA may not independently verify every statement contained in the record unless the applicable GSCA service expressly provides for such verification.

 

7. Digital Asset Identity

An eOrigin record may provide a digital identity for an eligible asset.

The digital identity may be associated with:

  1. A unique identifier;

  2. QR code;

  3. NFC identifier;

  4. Digital credential;

  5. Certificate;

  6. Asset record;

  7. Other GSCA-supported identification mechanism.

The existence of an eOrigin record does not by itself establish legal ownership of the underlying asset.

 

8. Transfer of eOrigin Records

Where an eligible asset is transferable, the Seller may initiate a transfer through the applicable GSCA process.

The transfer may require:

  1. Identification of the relevant asset;

  2. Authentication of the Seller;

  3. Identification or authentication of the Buyer;

  4. Confirmation of transfer;

  5. Completion of any applicable verification requirements;

  6. Payment of applicable service fees;

  7. Recording of the transfer.

Additional requirements may apply depending on the type of asset or GSCA program.

 

9. Completion of Transfer

A transfer is considered completed when the applicable GSCA system records the transfer and updates the relevant eOrigin status.

Depending on the service, the system may record:

  1. Previous holder;

  2. New holder;

  3. Transfer date;

  4. Transfer status;

  5. Asset identifier;

  6. Relevant transaction information.

Once completed, the transfer may become part of the historical eOrigin record.

 

10. Transfer History and Record Integrity

GSCA may maintain historical transfer records to preserve the integrity and continuity of an asset's digital history.

Historical records may not necessarily be deleted simply because an asset has subsequently changed ownership or control.

Where appropriate, a historical transfer may remain identifiable as part of the asset's provenance record.

This is intended to support trust, transparency, and record integrity.

 

11. Ownership and Legal Title

An eOrigin transfer record is a digital record of a transfer event within the GSCA system.

It does not automatically constitute:

  1. A government title registration;

  2. A statutory ownership certificate;

  3. A land registry record;

  4. A securities registry;

  5. A vehicle registration;

  6. A legal title document;

unless a specific applicable program expressly provides otherwise and is legally authorized to do so.

Legal ownership and title remain subject to applicable laws, contracts, and legally recognized documentation.

 

12. Physical Delivery

Unless expressly stated otherwise, GSCA does not physically deliver the underlying asset.

The Seller and Buyer are responsible for agreeing on:

  1. Delivery method;

  2. Shipping;

  3. Collection;

  4. Insurance;

  5. Customs;

  6. Taxes;

  7. Import or export requirements;

  8. Delivery costs;

  9. Risk of loss;

  10. Other physical transaction arrangements.

GSCA does not guarantee physical delivery.

 

13. Verification Before Transfer

Where applicable, GSCA may require verification before an eOrigin transfer can be completed.

Verification may include:

  1. Identity verification;

  2. Account authentication;

  3. Asset verification;

  4. Credential verification;

  5. Issuer verification;

  6. Other applicable checks.

The required level of verification may vary according to the nature and value of the asset, the applicable service, jurisdiction, risk level, or GSCA program.

 

14. Service Fees

GSCA may charge service fees for eOrigin services.

Depending on the applicable transaction, GSCA may charge fees to:

  1. The Seller;

  2. The Buyer;

  3. Both parties;

  4. An authorized organization;

  5. Another party responsible for the applicable service.

The applicable fee will be presented through the relevant GSCA service before the transaction is completed, where reasonably practicable.

GSCA reserves the right to change applicable fees in accordance with its Payment, Billing & Refund Policy.

 

15. Seller and Buyer Service Fees

Where a C2C transfer involves fees payable by both parties, each party is responsible for its own applicable service fee.

Payment of a service fee does not mean that GSCA is a party to the underlying sale or purchase agreement.

The service fee relates to the GSCA digital service, verification, transfer, record management, or other applicable infrastructure provided to the relevant party.

 

16. No Refund of Completed Transfer Service Fees

Unless required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise by GSCA, service fees associated with a completed eOrigin transfer are non-refundable.

This includes circumstances where a party subsequently:

  1. Changes its mind;

  2. Resells the asset;

  3. Discontinues use of the asset;

  4. Disputes the underlying transaction;

  5. Requests a reversal after completion.

A service fee paid for a completed digital transfer represents payment for the GSCA service provided and is not a deposit toward the purchase price of the underlying asset.

 

17. Credits and Credit Balances

Where GSCA uses a credit-based system, credits may be used to access eligible GSCA services according to the applicable credit rules.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

  1. Credits have no cash value;

  2. Credits are not bank deposits;

  3. Credits cannot be exchanged for cash;

  4. Unused credits are non-refundable;

  5. Credits may not be sold or transferred between accounts without GSCA authorization;

  6. Credits may be subject to applicable expiration or account conditions.

The applicable credit rules may be updated as GSCA Services evolve.

 

18. Transaction Disputes

GSCA recognizes that C2C transactions may involve disputes between Sellers and Buyers.

Examples include:

  1. Disagreement regarding price;

  2. Condition of an asset;

  3. Delivery problems;

  4. Misrepresentation;

  5. Failure to deliver;

  6. Payment disputes;

  7. Ownership disputes.

Unless expressly provided by a specific GSCA service, GSCA is not responsible for resolving the underlying commercial dispute.

The Seller and Buyer should first attempt to resolve disputes directly.

GSCA may provide relevant transaction or verification records where legally permitted and reasonably necessary.

 

19. Fraud and Misrepresentation

The eOrigin service must not be used to:

  1. Sell counterfeit goods;

  2. Transfer stolen property;

  3. Create false provenance;

  4. Falsify ownership;

  5. Misrepresent an asset;

  6. Manipulate transfer history;

  7. Create fraudulent credentials;

  8. Circumvent applicable laws;

  9. Facilitate fraud or deception.

GSCA may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts or records where fraud or serious misuse is suspected.

 

20. Prohibited Assets and Transactions

GSCA may prohibit or restrict the use of eOrigin for certain categories of assets or transactions.

This may include assets or transactions that:

  1. Violate applicable law;

  2. Involve stolen property;

  3. Involve counterfeit goods;

  4. Involve prohibited goods;

  5. Involve fraud;

  6. Create significant regulatory risk;

  7. Present unacceptable security or trust risks.

GSCA may introduce additional restrictions for particular jurisdictions, industries, or asset categories.

 

21. Cancellation and Reversal

Once an eOrigin transfer has been completed and recorded, it may not be automatically reversible.

Where an error has occurred, GSCA may review the circumstances and may, where appropriate:

  1. Correct the record;

  2. Suspend the record;

  3. Add a correction record;

  4. Initiate an authorized reversal;

  5. Require additional verification;

  6. Request supporting documentation.

A reversal is not guaranteed.

 

22. Disputed Ownership

Where competing claims of ownership or control arise, GSCA may suspend or restrict transfer functionality associated with the relevant asset while the matter is investigated.

GSCA may request evidence including:

  1. Purchase documentation;

  2. Transfer agreements;

  3. Identity information;

  4. Previous eOrigin records;

  5. Other relevant evidence.

GSCA does not determine legal ownership where such determination requires a court, government authority, or other legally competent authority.

 

23. Marketplace Content

Where eOrigin is presented through a marketplace or listing environment, Sellers are responsible for the content of their listings.

Sellers must not publish:

  1. False descriptions;

  2. Misleading claims;

  3. Fraudulent documentation;

  4. Unauthorized trademarks;

  5. Illegal content;

  6. Content intended to deceive Buyers.

GSCA may remove or restrict listings that violate applicable GSCA policies.

 

24. Intellectual Property

GSCA retains all rights in the GSCA technology, software, infrastructure, trademarks, service marks, interfaces, systems, and related intellectual property, except where otherwise expressly agreed.

The Seller or Buyer retains ownership of intellectual property in their own materials, subject to the rights necessary for GSCA to provide the applicable services.

Use of GSCA trademarks and certification marks remains subject to the GSCA Intellectual Property & Trademark Policy.

 

25. Privacy

C2C transactions may involve personal information relating to Sellers, Buyers, or other participants.

GSCA processes such information in accordance with the GSCA Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements.

Only information reasonably necessary for the applicable service, verification, security, transaction record, or legal requirement should be submitted through the GSCA system.

 

26. Security

Users must not attempt to:

  1. Manipulate an eOrigin record;

  2. Clone or misuse an identifier;

  3. Circumvent authentication;

  4. Access another user's account;

  5. Alter transfer history;

  6. Interfere with the verification system;

  7. Exploit vulnerabilities for unauthorized purposes.

Security concerns should be reported in accordance with the GSCA Security & Responsible Disclosure Policy.

 

27. International Transactions

eOrigin may support transactions involving parties located in different countries or jurisdictions.

Users are responsible for complying with applicable requirements relating to:

  1. Import and export;

  2. Customs;

  3. Taxes;

  4. Consumer protection;

  5. Sanctions;

  6. Product restrictions;

  7. Ownership;

  8. Transfer;

  9. Data protection;

  10. Other applicable laws.

GSCA does not guarantee that an eOrigin transaction is legally permissible in every jurisdiction.

 

28. Taxes and Government Charges

Unless expressly stated otherwise, GSCA service fees do not necessarily include:

  1. Sales taxes;

  2. VAT;

  3. GST;

  4. Customs duties;

  5. Import duties;

  6. Other government charges.

The relevant Seller or Buyer remains responsible for applicable taxes and government charges arising from the underlying transaction.

 

29. No Escrow or Payment Guarantee

Unless expressly provided through a specific GSCA service, GSCA does not act as:

  1. An escrow provider;

  2. A bank;

  3. A payment guarantee provider;

  4. A financial institution;

  5. A broker;

  6. A custodian of the underlying asset.

Payment arrangements between Seller and Buyer remain the responsibility of the relevant parties and their chosen payment providers.

 

30. No Guarantee of Transaction Outcome

GSCA does not guarantee:

  1. That an asset will be sold;

  2. That a Buyer will complete a transaction;

  3. That a Seller will deliver an asset;

  4. That the asset will maintain its value;

  5. That the transaction will generate a profit;

  6. That the asset will be accepted by a third party;

  7. That the transaction will satisfy every legal requirement in every jurisdiction.

GSCA provides digital trust and transaction-support infrastructure, not investment or commercial advice.

 

31. Suspension of eOrigin Services

GSCA may temporarily suspend or restrict an eOrigin record or transaction where reasonably necessary to:

  1. Protect system security;

  2. Investigate suspected fraud;

  3. Protect users;

  4. Comply with applicable law;

  5. Investigate ownership disputes;

  6. Prevent unauthorized transfer;

  7. Maintain the integrity of the GSCA Trust Infrastructure.

Where reasonably practicable, GSCA may notify affected parties.

 

32. Termination

GSCA may suspend or terminate access to eOrigin services where a user:

  1. Violates these Terms;

  2. Violates applicable GSCA policies;

  3. Engages in fraud;

  4. Attempts unauthorized access;

  5. Misuses GSCA technology;

  6. Provides materially false information;

  7. Uses the service for unlawful purposes.

Termination does not necessarily delete historical records required for security, legal, audit, or trust purposes.

 

33. Historical Records

Because provenance and transfer history are fundamental to eOrigin, GSCA may retain historical records associated with completed transactions.

A user may therefore be unable to require the deletion of historical transaction information where retention is reasonably necessary for:

  1. Trust integrity;

  2. Fraud prevention;

  3. Security;

  4. Legal compliance;

  5. Dispute resolution;

  6. Audit;

  7. Record continuity.

Any personal-data rights remain subject to the GSCA Privacy Policy and applicable law.

 

34. Relationship with GSCA Certification

An eOrigin record should not automatically be interpreted as a GSCA Certification.

Where an asset also holds a GSCA certification, verification status, or credential, the applicable status will be displayed according to the relevant GSCA certification framework.

The GSCA Certification & Verification Policy governs certification and verification status.

 

35. Relationship with Other GSCA Services

eOrigin may operate together with other GSCA Trust Infrastructure services, including where applicable:

  1. ONE ID;

  2. eAsset;

  3. eCert;

  4. eStamp;

  5. NFC verification;

  6. QR verification;

  7. Other GSCA digital trust services.

The availability and functionality of these services may vary according to the relevant product, market, account, or program.

 

36. Changes to eOrigin Services

GSCA may improve, modify, expand, restrict, or discontinue parts of the eOrigin service where reasonably necessary to:

  1. Improve security;

  2. Improve functionality;

  3. Support new asset categories;

  4. Support new jurisdictions;

  5. Meet legal requirements;

  6. Improve the GSCA Trust Infrastructure;

  7. Introduce new technology.

Material changes may be communicated through the applicable GSCA service or website where reasonably practicable.

 

37. Limitation of Responsibility

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GSCA is responsible for providing the applicable digital infrastructure according to the relevant service terms.

GSCA is not responsible for losses arising solely from:

  1. The Seller's conduct;

  2. The Buyer's conduct;

  3. False information supplied by a user;

  4. Physical defects in an asset;

  5. Failure to deliver an asset;

  6. Disputes over the underlying transaction;

  7. Market value changes;

  8. Unauthorized transactions caused by a user's failure to protect their credentials.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

 

38. Applicable Law

These Terms are subject to the applicable law and jurisdiction specified in the relevant GSCA Terms of Service, agreement, order form, or applicable transaction documentation.

Where mandatory consumer or other statutory protections apply, those rights are not excluded by these Terms.

 

39. Policy Updates

GSCA may update these eOrigin Terms from time to time to reflect:

  1. New eOrigin functionality;

  2. New transaction models;

  3. New asset categories;

  4. Security improvements;

  5. Changes in applicable laws;

  6. Changes to the GSCA Trust Infrastructure;

  7. Changes to transaction procedures.

The latest version will be published on the applicable GSCA website.

Unless otherwise required by law, continued use of eOrigin after the effective date of an updated version constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
