Terms of Tokens
TAB Tokens
Description: Whenever there is a flight delay, the travelers on that flight will be automatically receiving TAB tokens. For every 45 minute delay the traveler will be issued a set amount of TAB's. Looking forward, the next time you experience a delayed flight, you can be assured that your TAB tokens are getting credited to your account. You can cash in your tokens at the airline for free flights and upgrades at a discount. Or you trade your tokens with other customers if you want cash directly. This way people who lack a few tokens for their next free flight can easily buy additional tokens from other customers. The TAB tokens will be issued on the ERC20 blockchain.
The right to tokens is contingent upon the successful development of such Tokens and to the extent applicable, the blockchain upon which they function. There is no guarantee that successful development will ever occur.
The TAB protocol is currently in pre-production phase and we are currently building out the back end infrastructure. Once this phase is complete we expect to perform beta testing with our community. Then ultimately rolling out the production version of the TAB protocol.
Other Material Terms:
The Company currently does not have a functional distributed ledger based business model nor a blockchain based token and there is no guarantee that such will be developed in the future. The promise of future tokens is contingent upon the successful development of such items. There is no guarantee that successful development will ever occur. The right to receive future tokens and the offering of future tokens is being offered as part of this offering exempt from registration under Regulation CF.
Tax Advisory: Investors should consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax basis for each of the Membership Units and the Tokens, since they will trade independently.
Jurisdictions: No Investor who (i) resides, (ii) is located, (iii) has a place of business, or (iv) is conducting business (any of which makes the Investor a “Resident”) in the state of New York will be accepted in this offering.
The 10% Bonus for StartEngine Shareholders
Trustabit LLC will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. shareholders (with ≥ $1,000 invested in the StartEngine Reg A+ campaign) within 24 hours of this offering going live.
StartEngine shareholders who have invested $1,000+ in the StartEngine Reg A+ campaign will receive a 10% bonus on this offering within a 24-hour window of their campaign launch date. This means you will receive a bonus for any units you purchase. For example, if you buy 100 Membership Units at $1 / unit, you will receive 10 bonus units, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $100. Fractional units will not be distributed and unit bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole unit.
This 10% Bonus is only valid for one year from the time StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. investors receive their countersigned StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. subscription agreement.
Irregular Use of Proceeds
The Company might incur Irregular Use of Proceeds that may include but are not limited to the following over $10,000: Vendor payments and salary made to one's self, a friend or relative; Any expense labeled "Administration Expenses" that is not strictly for administrative purposes; Any expense labeled "Travel and Entertainment"; Any expense that is for the purposes of inter-company debt or back payments.
The past few years have been embarrassingly rough for airlines as one PR disaster followed another. Their post-incident compensation schemes are not doing their client and public relations any favours either. Technology start-up Trustabit believes that blockchain technology is the solution to this
Blockchain is the technology buzzword du jour. It powers the world’s cryptocurrencies by providing a novel and secure way to transfer and store transactional data – across a distributed network of nodes, instead of using a traditional central database.

TrustaBit, a blockchain-based startup announced its co-development partnership with TIBCO Software Inc., a global leader in analytics and integration.
TrustaBit hopes to change the way the world travels by removing the onus from the passengers to reconcile flight disruptions (delays or cancellations), allowing the traveler to keep moving. The solution helps airlines harness the power of blockchain technology and smart contracts to notify passengers sooner and automatically issue compensation when disruption occurs.
“We’re pleased to welcome TrustaBit into the TIBCO LABS program,” said Nelson Petracek, Global Chief Technology Officer, TIBCO. “Working with innovative organizations such as TrustaBit helps us build more relevant, valuable solutions for our customers. We look forward to partnering with TrustaBit on the development of their blockchain smart contracts with Project Dovetail.”
TrustaBit is a flight disruption management solution that uses blockchain technology to automate notification and compensation processes within the airline industry. The solution offers multiple redemption options – vouchers, miles, or fiat (local currency).
This fall, the startup released its Proof of Concept, a prototype created to demonstrate the feasibility of a working product, which can be found at app.trustabit.io. TrustaBit’s final product will be a white-labeled solution, fully integrated and showcasing the host airline’s branding.

We pinched ourselves. No, it wasn’t a dream.
TrustaBit CEO, Saritta Hines was recently hand-picked by Microsoft to be featured in a series of ads highlighting various new Windows 10 Pro products that help the company run smoothly. A company like Microsoft could have selected any startup for this opportunity, yet we believe they saw something unique in TrustaBit and recognized the value in our project. We cannot think of another DApp (decentralized application) represented in Fortune 500 company advertisements. Can you? Dare we say, it’s a first! TrustaBit, along with Microsoft, looks forward to transforming the blockchain industry with positive change. The ads can be found on YouTube via the links below.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
