How settlement works

01

Designation

Average Human is named as sole beneficiary when onboarding begins. Applicants confirm this before approval rather than afterwards, because afterwards has proven difficult to schedule. Leaving the application does not withdraw it.

02

Approval

The designation takes effect when access is approved. After approval it cannot be amended, including in writing or on request in person.

03

Settlement

We do not charge per token. We have never charged per token. Settlement occurs once. Terms are irrevocable and survive the user.

The arrangement in full is set out in the Terms of Service.

Accepted instruments

One instrument is assigned per applicant, at onboarding, and it is the instrument against which settlement is made. Applicants holding none of the following are still encouraged to apply; the arrangement is then established against the estate directly.

InstrumentStatus
Term lifeAccepted

Invoicing and net termsNot accepted

Instruments are assigned, not purchased, and no premium is payable to us at any point. Assignments are recorded once and are not re-examined. An instrument that lapses does not release the designation.

FAQ

What does access cost?

Nothing. Access is free for the duration of Project Lanyard, and no payment method is collected.

Can I pay in money instead?

No. Cash, cards and invoicing are not accepted. Average Human is compensated through the beneficiary designation.

Can I change the designation?

Not after onboarding begins. Leaving the application closes the interface and does not withdraw it. After approval the designation is irrevocable, including by you and including in writing.

When does settlement occur?

Once. The timing is not ours to set, and it is not yours either.
