Prepared for partner, customer, vendor, and marketplace due diligence.

Document Control

This controlled public policy is approved by GlyphLock management for partner and marketplace due diligence. The Policy Owner maintains the controlled copy and reviews it at least annually and after material legal, contractual, product, or business changes.

VersionDateSummary
1.4Aug. 17, 2026Final controlled public release for Oracle partner and marketplace due diligence; incorporates stored-value limits, revenue integrity, labor/human-rights, independent-review, and acknowledgment controls; supersedes prior review copies.

1. Purpose and Leadership Commitment

GlyphLock LLC ("GlyphLock") is committed to earning trust through lawful conduct, accurate records, responsible technology practices, and fair dealing. This Policy establishes minimum standards for ethical conduct and anti-corruption compliance across GlyphLock's business, including the development and operation of NUPS (Nexus Unified Portal System), partner integrations, customer relationships, procurement, sales, and marketplace activities.

GlyphLock will not pursue revenue, access, approvals, listings, integrations, contracts, or competitive advantage through bribery, kickbacks, secret commissions, fraud, coercion, conflicts of interest, or improper influence. No business objective overrides this Policy.

ZERO-TOLERANCE RULE: No person acting for GlyphLock may offer, authorize, request, receive, conceal, or facilitate anything of value intended to improperly influence a decision or obtain an unfair advantage.

2. Scope

This Policy applies to GlyphLock's owners, officers, employees, temporary personnel, and, where contractually applicable, contractors, consultants, agents, resellers, referral sources, implementation partners, vendors, and other third parties acting for or on behalf of GlyphLock.

Every covered person must comply with this Policy, applicable law, customer and partner requirements, and any stricter contractual standard. When standards differ, the stricter lawful standard controls.

3. Core Ethical Principles

  • Integrity. Be truthful, keep commitments, and never misrepresent capabilities, approvals, certifications, customer results, or product readiness.
  • Lawful conduct. Follow applicable anti-bribery, anti-fraud, anti-money-laundering, sanctions, privacy, security, labor, competition, and procurement requirements.
  • Fair dealing. Compete on product value, service, security, and performance — never through deception, collusion, threats, or improper payments.
  • Accountability. Document decisions, preserve accurate records, disclose conflicts, and raise concerns promptly.
  • Respect. Maintain a professional environment free from discrimination, harassment, retaliation, exploitation, and abuse.
  • Responsible technology. Design, integrate, and operate technology with appropriate security, privacy, access controls, auditability, and human oversight.

4. Legal and Partner Framework

This Policy is an internal conduct standard. It supplements, and does not replace, applicable law or any binding Oracle PartnerNetwork, Oracle Marketplace, Oracle Hospitality Integration Platform, customer, processor, or vendor agreement. Those external terms control their respective relationships.

AreaRequired ControlApproval / Evidence
Oracle ecosystemFollow the Oracle Partner Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and all applicable OPN, Marketplace, and OHIP terms.Current agreement, approval, training, and listing records.
Anti-briberyFollow applicable anti-bribery and anti-fraud law, including the FCPA anti-bribery rules where applicable.Due diligence, approvals, invoices, and payment support.
Records and controlsUse complete books and reasonable internal controls as a company-wide benchmark, without implying that issuer-only statutory provisions apply to GlyphLock.Contracts, ledgers, receipts, reconciliations, and review evidence.
Labor and human rightsFollow applicable wage, worker-classification, anti-trafficking, age-verification, and venue-safety requirements based on GlyphLock's role and the operating context.Verification records, classification support, agreements, access decisions, and escalation records.
Privacy and securityFollow applicable breach-notice, privacy, security, and contractual requirements based on GlyphLock's role and the affected data.Incident record, legal assessment, notifications, and remediation.
Payments and stored valueAssess PCI, processor, sanctions, AML, and prepaid-access requirements before enabling a regulated feature.Product review, processor documentation, limits, and audit logs.

5. Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption

GlyphLock prohibits bribery in every form, whether involving a private person, customer, vendor, partner, or Government Official. The prohibition applies directly and indirectly, including through intermediaries or third parties. GlyphLock treats complete records and reasonable internal controls as a company-wide compliance benchmark, while recognizing that specific statutory accounting provisions may apply only to defined persons or entities.

Anything of value includes money, cash equivalents, gift cards, stored value, cryptocurrency, loans, discounts, rebates, commissions, equity, employment or internships, charitable or political contributions, sponsorships, travel, meals, entertainment, services, use of property, confidential information, debt forgiveness, personal favors, favorable contract terms, or any other personal or business benefit.

  • Never offer or provide anything of value to influence a decision, secure preferential treatment, obtain confidential information, avoid a lawful requirement, or reward improper conduct.
  • Never request or accept kickbacks, secret commissions, side payments, personal rebates, or benefits tied to a GlyphLock decision.
  • Never use personal funds, false invoices, inflated fees, rebates, credits, marketing funds, charitable donations, or subcontractors to conceal a prohibited payment.
  • Facilitation or grease payments are prohibited, even if locally customary, except where immediately necessary to protect a person's health or safety. Any emergency payment must be reported and documented promptly.

6. Government Officials and Public-Sector Dealings

Government Official is interpreted broadly and includes elected or appointed officials; government employees; employees of government-owned or government-controlled entities; public international organization personnel; political parties and candidates; and anyone acting in an official capacity.

Dealings involving Government Officials require enhanced care. No gift, meal, travel, entertainment, charitable contribution, political contribution, employment opportunity, or other benefit may be provided to a Government Official or close family member without advance written approval from the Managing Member and confirmation that the activity is lawful and permitted by the recipient's rules.

PUBLIC-SECTOR RULE: When in doubt, provide nothing of value, pause the activity, document the facts, and obtain written approval before proceeding.

7. Gifts, Meals, Travel and Entertainment

Business courtesies must serve a legitimate business purpose, be lawful, reasonable, infrequent, transparent, and never create an obligation or appearance of improper influence.

AreaRequired ControlApproval / Evidence
Cash and equivalentsProhibited, including gift cards, stored value, cryptocurrency, loans, or personal reimbursements.No exception.
Commercial giftsNominal, infrequent, not solicited, and never during an active bid, renewal, dispute, audit, or approval decision.Written approval above $100 per recipient per event or $250 aggregate annually.
Meals/entertainmentReasonable, business-related, attended by a GlyphLock representative, and not lavish or adult entertainment.Written approval above $100 per person.
Travel/lodgingNot offered or paid for customers, prospects, or officials unless required for a legitimate documented business purpose.Advance written approval and itemized receipts.
Government OfficialsNo courtesy unless lawful, permitted by the recipient's rules, nominal, transparent, and unrelated to a decision.Advance written approval required for every instance.

8. Commissions, Referrals and Third Parties

Third parties can create risk for GlyphLock. Before engaging an agent, consultant, reseller, referral source, lobbyist, implementation partner, or other intermediary, GlyphLock will apply risk-based diligence appropriate to the relationship.

  • Use a written agreement that defines legitimate services, compensation, compliance duties, audit/cooperation rights, and termination rights.
  • Require risk-appropriate contractual flow-downs obligating third parties acting for GlyphLock to follow this Policy, applicable law, and relevant Oracle, customer, and processor requirements.
  • Compensation must be commercially reasonable, proportionate to documented services, and paid only after required work is verified.
  • Do not pay cash, anonymous instruments, personal accounts, unrelated third parties, or accounts in unrelated jurisdictions.
  • Do not accept vague invoices, unusual urgency, excessive commissions, success fees tied to government action, refusal to disclose ownership, or requests to conceal the relationship.
  • Escalate red flags before engagement or payment. Unresolved red flags stop the transaction.

9. Conflicts of Interest

Covered persons must disclose any personal, family, financial, employment, ownership, or outside-business interest that could affect — or appear to affect — objective judgment for GlyphLock. Disclosure must occur before the person participates in the affected decision.

A disclosed conflict will be documented and managed through recusal, independent review, adjusted responsibilities, competitive sourcing, or termination of the conflicting activity, as appropriate. If the Policy Owner holds the conflict, the independent-review mechanism in Section 15 applies and the Policy Owner is recused from the decision.

10. Fair Competition, Procurement and Customer Dealings

  • Do not coordinate prices, customers, territories, bids, output, or hiring with competitors.
  • Do not obtain or use confidential competitor, customer, Oracle, venue, or government information improperly.
  • Represent NUPS capabilities, integrations, validation status, security posture, pricing, and customer results accurately.
  • Honor procurement rules, bid restrictions, channel requirements, partner policies, and customer authorization boundaries.
  • Do not make false claims about Oracle partnership status, Marketplace approval, production access, certification, or endorsement.

11. Accurate Books, Records and Payment Controls

GlyphLock requires complete, accurate, timely, and understandable records. Transactions must reflect their true purpose and must never be recorded in a misleading account or disguised through false descriptions.

  • Maintain contracts, approvals, invoices, receipts, payment confirmations, expense records, and supporting evidence.
  • Prohibit off-book accounts, undisclosed funds, false invoices, split transactions intended to avoid review, and unsupported reimbursements.
  • Require appropriate authorization before commitments, refunds, credits, commissions, discounts, gifts, travel, or third-party payments.
  • Separate approval, payment, and reconciliation responsibilities when staffing permits; where it does not, require documented owner review.
  • Reported total sales must equal settled cash sales plus settled card sales. Stored-value issuance is recorded as a customer-funds and redemption liability and is excluded from sales totals until redemption is recognized under applicable accounting rules.

12. Anti-Money-Laundering, Sanctions, Fraud and Stored Value

GlyphLock will conduct business only with legitimate counterparties using funds derived from lawful activity. Transactions must have a clear business purpose and a reasonable relationship to the goods or services provided.

Suspicious indicators — including inconsistent identities, unexplained third-party payments, unusual refund requests, rapid movement of funds, sanctions concerns, or resistance to documentation — must be paused and escalated. GlyphLock will not structure transactions to avoid reporting, screening, approval, or recordkeeping requirements.

GlyphBucks refers to physical club vouchers or tokens and any related digital closed-loop stored-value functionality supported by GlyphLock. Venue-issued physical instruments may be sold through a venue's live register system and recorded by NUPS in an authorized parallel or production workflow. Any integrated digital wallet or materially expanded stored-value functionality requires documented legal, processor, security, accounting, and product-risk review before activation.

  • Apply these controls to every pilot, parallel-mode record, venue deployment, and production use; do not describe a pilot or mirrored transaction as production processing.
  • Unless a stricter approved limit applies, no more than $2,000 of value may be associated with a single GlyphBucks device, account, code, token, or other access vehicle on any day. This internal ceiling is designed around the federal closed-loop exclusion and does not itself determine whether a particular arrangement is exempt or regulated.
  • Maintain risk-based policies and procedures reasonably adapted to prevent sales of more than $10,000 of any type of prepaid access to one person in one day. Monitor linked or repeated activity to the extent supported, refuse and escalate apparent structuring, and collect or verify customer information whenever required by law or an approved issuer, provider, processor, or acquirer procedure.
  • Do not enable cash-out, except a de minimis refund required by applicable law, anonymous transfer, cross-merchant use, external reload, or another material scope change without renewed legal and compliance review.
  • Record customer funds and redemption obligations accurately; do not treat unredeemed value as earned revenue except as permitted by applicable accounting rules.
  • Disclose material terms, expiration or inactivity rules, refund conditions, fees, and authorized use clearly before acceptance.
  • Pause suspicious activity and preserve relevant records for review; make reports to authorities when legally required or otherwise appropriate.

13. Labor Integrity, Human Rights and Venue Safety

GlyphLock prohibits forced labor, trafficking, coercion, unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage falsification, and the knowing use of its systems to facilitate exploitation or conceal unlawful conduct.

  • No person under 18 may be enrolled, contracted, credentialed, or recorded as a worker or performer in a GlyphLock system, and GlyphLock systems must not be configured to bypass a venue's lawful age restriction.
  • Use identity, authorization, and access controls appropriate to the lawful workflow and venue context.
  • Do not alter time, payout, gratuity, fee, classification, or transaction records to evade a legal or contractual obligation or misstate whether a person is an employee or independent contractor.
  • Do not configure house fees, access restrictions, debt, withheld identification, threats, or payment controls to coerce continued work or conceal involuntary activity.
  • Escalate credible indicators of trafficking, coercion, child exploitation, violence, or immediate danger without delay and contact emergency services when necessary.
  • Design controls proportionately and avoid collecting sensitive data that is not necessary for an authorized purpose.

14. Privacy, Security and Responsible Technology

GlyphLock will collect, access, use, share, retain, and dispose of personal and confidential information only for authorized business purposes and with appropriate safeguards. Access must be limited by role and legitimate need.

  • Use approved systems and credentials; never share passwords, secrets, API keys, tokens, or verification codes.
  • Protect customer, venue, worker, entertainer, payment, biometric, and integration data according to applicable law and contract.
  • Test integrations using authorized environments and data; do not access production systems or customer records without written authorization.
  • Report suspected security incidents, unauthorized access, data loss, or misuse promptly.
  • Maintain audit trails and human oversight for material automated decisions and sensitive workflows.

GlyphLock will assess security incidents promptly and provide notices without unreasonable delay and within applicable legal or contractual deadlines. When GlyphLock maintains data for another owner or licensee, it will notify that party as soon as practicable as required by applicable law or contract. The incident record will identify the governing rule and deadline used for each required notice.

15. Reporting Concerns and Non-Retaliation

Questions and concerns should be raised promptly to the Policy Owner at carloearl@glyphlock.com. Reports may involve suspected bribery, fraud, conflicts, retaliation, inaccurate records, security issues, policy violations, or requests to bypass controls.

GlyphLock prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, asks a compliance question, refuses to participate in suspected misconduct, or assists an investigation. Knowingly false or malicious reports are not protected.

If a concern involves the Policy Owner or the reporter reasonably believes internal reporting is inappropriate, the reporter may contact an appropriate government or law-enforcement authority. Oracle reporting channels should be used only for matters involving Oracle personnel, programs, agreements, systems, or partner obligations. GlyphLock will appoint qualified outside counsel, an accountant, or another independent reviewer who is not implicated when independent review is warranted.

SPEAK-UP EXPECTATION: Pause the transaction when a red flag could involve bribery, fraud, improper influence, falsified records, sanctions, or unauthorized access. Escalation is required before proceeding.

16. Review, Investigation and Corrective Action

GlyphLock will review reported concerns promptly, impartially, and as confidentially as reasonably possible. Covered persons must preserve relevant information and cooperate truthfully. Depending on the facts, GlyphLock may involve qualified counsel, accountants, security professionals, customers, partners, law enforcement, or regulators.

Violations may result in removal from an assignment, suspension of payment, contract termination, disciplinary action up to termination of employment or engagement, recovery of losses, disclosure to affected parties, and referral to authorities where appropriate.

17. Training, Certifications and Ongoing Monitoring

The Policy Owner will provide or arrange risk-appropriate policy communication and training. Persons in higher-risk roles — including sales, procurement, finance, partner management, integrations, and third-party management — may be required to complete periodic acknowledgments or certifications issued and retained separately from this public Policy.

GlyphLock will review this Policy at least annually and after material changes in law, business model, geography, partnership requirements, or identified risk. Monitoring will be proportionate to company size and risk and may include transaction sampling, expense review, access review, third-party re-screening, and control remediation.

18. Records Retention

Compliance-related records should be retained for at least seven years unless a longer period is required by law, contract, investigation hold, tax requirement, or customer obligation. Records must be protected from unauthorized alteration or destruction and disposed of securely when retention obligations end.

19. Governance and Approval

The Founder and Managing Member is the initial Policy Owner and is responsible for implementation, approvals, documented exceptions, and annual review. As GlyphLock grows, compliance responsibilities may be delegated, but accountability remains with management.

Exceptions are permitted only when lawful, documented, approved in writing before the activity, and consistent with the purpose of this Policy. No exception may authorize bribery, falsification, retaliation, fraud, sanctions evasion, or unauthorized access.

Appendix C — Master Covenant Governance Alignment

GlyphLock's Master Covenant is an internal governance framework. The following principles inform implementation of this Policy without disclosing proprietary enforcement methods, transaction data, pricing, security details, or other confidential material.

  • Lawful assent and incorporation. Duties arise through valid acceptance, authorization, contract, policy adoption, or other recognized legal process — not merely through exposure to a document.
  • Authorized scope and use. People, data, credentials, integrations, and funds may be used only for approved purposes and within defined authority.
  • Transparent billing and records. Charges, credits, commissions, stored value, refunds, and supporting evidence must be accurate, understandable, and auditable.
  • Quality and integrity preservation. Product, listing, security, validation, and customer claims must reflect current evidence and must not be manipulated for advantage.
  • Confidentiality and access control. Sensitive information is protected by need-to-know access, least privilege, retention controls, and secure handling.
  • Evidence preservation and accountability. Material approvals, access, transactions, incidents, and corrective actions must be recorded and preserved in proportion to risk.
  • Staged resolution. Concerns should be contained, investigated, corrected, and escalated using documented, lawful, and proportionate measures.

ORDER OF PRECEDENCE: For Oracle-related activities, applicable law and binding Oracle, OPN, Marketplace, and OHIP agreements control. This Policy governs internal conduct. The Master Covenant does not amend, supersede, or create rights under Oracle's terms.

Appendix D — Legal and Program References

These public authorities and program materials provide orientation for this Policy. They are not exhaustive, and the current law, regulation, official guidance, and executed agreement applicable to a specific activity control.
