Purpose & Scope
This document defines the legal, economic, and operational framework of the Crypto Cocktail Club protocol (“CCC”). It is intended to describe how rights, fees, and participation are structured across creators, venues, guests, and investors.
This document is informational only and does not constitute an offer to sell securities, investment advice, or a solicitation of capital.
Protocol Architecture
CCC operates as a hospitality transaction coordination protocol. NFTs are used exclusively as authorization and attribution records that trigger off-chain settlement and operational workflows.
CCC does not sell alcohol, process consumer payments, or custody customer funds. All hospitality services are provided by participating venues.
Economic Flow Description
Each Cocktail NFT corresponds to a single prepaid hospitality redemption. Upon redemption, funds are allocated according to deterministic protocol rules.
- Venue: 90%
- Creator: 3%
- Bartender TIP Pool: 5%
- CCC Protocol Fee: 2%
Allocation percentages are protocol-defined and do not constitute profit-sharing arrangements, dividends, or investment returns.
Protocol Fee Sources
CCC generates revenue through service and coordination fees associated with protocol usage. Revenue sources include:
- Creator recipe minting fees (registry access)
- Protocol fees on completed hospitality redemptions
- Marketplace fees on economic rights transfers
Registry & Minting Fees
Minting a recipe records authorship and eligibility for protocol-mediated activation. Minting does not convey ownership in CCC, revenue guarantees, or economic rights unless separately transferred.
CCC may charge service fees for minting activity. Membership tiers may reduce or waive minting fees as a product feature. All blockchain execution costs are borne by CCC.
Creator Attestation & IP Infringement Safe Harbor
At the time of minting, each creator is required to affirmatively attest that the submitted cocktail recipe is either (i) an original work authored by the creator, or (ii) lawfully published and submitted with sufficient rights to permit registry and protocol-mediated usage.
This attestation is recorded as part of the minting process and persists independently of any subsequent transfer of economic rights.
Crypto Cocktail Club does not independently verify originality, authorship, or ownership of submitted recipes. CCC operates as a neutral registry and coordination layer and does not assume responsibility for underlying IP claims.
In the event of an alleged infringement, CCC may, at its discretion:
- Temporarily suspend protocol-mediated usage of the affected recipe
- Restrict marketplace transfers pending review
- Remove or annotate registry records where legally required
CCC’s actions in response to IP claims are undertaken as a good-faith service provider accommodation and do not constitute an admission of liability. Responsibility for infringement rests solely with the submitting creator or rights holder.
Venue Liability & Alcohol Compliance
Crypto Cocktail Club does not sell, serve, distribute, or promote alcohol. All alcoholic beverages are prepared and served exclusively by participating venues under their own licenses, permits, and regulatory obligations.
Venues retain sole responsibility for:
- Alcohol licensing and regulatory compliance
- Age verification and responsible service
- Health, safety, and intoxication standards
- Employment, tipping, and labor law compliance
Participation in the CCC protocol does not alter, replace, or diminish a venue’s existing legal duties. Protocol participation is operationally analogous to brand-sponsored activations or prepaid hospitality experiences.
CCC does not supervise venue operations and assumes no liability for alcohol-related service, guest conduct, or venue compliance failures.
Membership Tier Treatment
Membership tiers affect minting fee treatment only. All creators retain identical authorship attribution, usage eligibility, and economic mechanics regardless of membership tier.
Membership does not grant preferential economic rights, governance authority, or ownership interest in CCC.
Illustrative Economics Disclaimer
Any revenue examples, scaling scenarios, or unit economics presented on CCC websites or materials are illustrative only. They do not represent forecasts, guarantees, or assurances of performance.
Cost & Margin Disclosure
CCC operates a software-driven protocol model. While certain revenue streams are high-margin in nature, actual margins depend on operational costs including infrastructure, compliance, settlement, and business development.
Equity & Revenue Exposure
Investor participation in CCC is equity-based. Investors may have exposure to company revenues derived from minting fees, redemption fees, and IP marketplace fees.
No protocol participant receives automated on-chain revenue distributions. All revenue accrues at the corporate level and is governed by standard corporate and securities law.
Settlement, Custody & Risk
- Venues and staff do not custody cryptocurrency
- Guests do not pay with cryptocurrency
- Settlement occurs off-chain via CCC treasury operations
- On-chain activity enforces accounting logic only
Non-Reliance Disclaimer
No party should rely on CCC materials as a basis for financial decisions. Participation in the protocol involves operational, regulatory, and adoption risk.
