Schedule A
LICENSED SOFTWARE
The business of conceiving, designing, developing and deploying innovative, cross platform/ cross network Instant Messaging (or other emerging Messaging technologies) products, platforms, networks and services as may be required, now and in the future to support corporate, consumer and OEM customers wishing to communicate in close to real time with other people regardless of the messaging applications in use. The primary growth target market will focus on mobile devices, smartphones and wearable technology, gaming platforms as well as catering for more traditional internet access devices, such as desktops, laptops and netbooks. In future other potential markets are envisaged to include IP TV and Smart TV which offer limited capability today but which are ubiquitous.
To conceive, design, develop and utilise innovative methods and processes and business models to achieve optimum monetisation of the Instant Messaging platform by offering companies and advertising agencies or other intermediaries a novel digital advertising capability and a way to have their sequential marketing messages carried natively and in a non-disruptive manner during dialogue between individuals using IM applications and networks. The Company will offer a unique business benefit to consumers by enabling them to spend real credits.
In conjunction with the corporate advertisers, the Company’ offering is inter-linked with innovative customer loyalty and reward schemes and systems for its consumer customers, accumulating credits based on selecting ‘Sponsors’ and usage of the Company’s Instant Messaging / cross Application service platform and for redeeming earned credits in a wide range of ways, with a direct monetary value to the consumers. This includes the unique ability to offer consumers a specific ‘Opt In’ choice to receive messages from personally selected companies that they wish to have sponsoring their messages and from whom they wish to receive marketing offers and which are age appropriate.
To offer consumers the choice of Instant Messaging applications that suit them best, now and in future, without the requirement to utilise IM aggregation products or move to our own offering.
To offer consumers, who do not wish to receive any ‘Sponsor’ messages or offers, a paid for service for a modest periodic subscription charge which will also offer the value-add of not requiring the opening and closing of various applications, nor the acquisition of IM aggregation products.
To conceive, design, develop and implement a ‘plug in’ or ‘button’ that can be utilised by other application providers wishing to add a wide spectrum IM capability to their own customers without leaving their own applications.
To conceive, design, develop and implement a unique user identification system, incorporating key user attributes such as geographic location, sex, age and so on that will form the basis for additional products, solutions and services in future, including but not limited to VOIP and Video over IP.
