Market:Home
Welcome to the WikiDeal markets home page. Market pages are where WikiDeal develops its rules, contracts and frameworks for a fair, trustworthy and cooperative economy. A market is a specific economic area in which people and institutions make deals. Market pages help to coordinate the community’s efforts by grouping contributors around these markets, thus centralizing resources, recommendations and discussions for each market.
Each market includes the following elements:
- Use cases: descriptions of scenarios in which a deal might need to be made in this market
- Contract models: templates of legal contracts for specific use cases, using WikiDeal’s contract template language
- Legal references: links to all local, national, regional or international law relevant to the market, its use cases and contract models
- Case law: the legal precedents related to these use cases, at all relevant legal levels
- Reminders: templates of reminder messages that the WikiDeal platform can automatically send to the parties of a deal when specific conditions are met
- Usage tips & tutorials: guides to help users make the right choices and use the platform when doing deals in this market
- User groups: WikiDeal’s user groups can (but don’t have to) focus on specific combinations of markets, use cases and geographical areas
- Pre-contractual procedures
- Compensation rules
- Contract states
You are very welcome to start contributing to some markets: start adding material and resources for some of the elements, start a discussion, make drafts, etc.
