Brown Unity in Trading Treaty

Preamble
In an effort to promote trading between the great alliances of the Brown Sphere, the signatories of this pact bond together to share their natural resources.

Article I
Signatories promise not to engage in hostile activities towards eachother. This includes but is not limited to declarations of war, spying (in game or out), aiding an entity that is at war with one of the other signatories, or trying to undermine the sovreignty of any signatory alliance.

Article II
Signatories must have declared to be a brown team alliance and have a majority of their members on the brown team.

Signatories will be given an alliance mask on the GATO forum that will allow them to view and post in the Brown Team Trading Forum.

Signatories will strive to get as many members to sign up at the GATO forums as possible to participate in trade circles overseen by the GATO MoDA and the GATO trade secretaries.

Article III
A facsimile of the Brown Team Trading Forum will be kept on all signatory home forums to encourage more members to sign up for trade circles.

A trade liason from signatory alliances shall report changes to the facsimile Trade Forum on their home boards to the GATO trade secretaries. This is to ensure the master Brown Team Trade forum on the GATO boards is always up to date.

If by chance member nations sign up for a trade build at the same time on different forums. The first to be reported to the central board shall be deemed the winner.

Article IV
Signatories hereby agree that demanding money for a trade is in bad form and is not in the spirit of this pact. If a member nation of any signatory demands money for a trade he/she may face punitive measures as set forth by his/her alliance.

Signatories also agree that offering money for a trade is ok as long as the accepting member knows what consequences await them if they should cancel.

Signatories will instruct their members to give at least 48 hours cancellation notice of any trade with another signatory alliance. Persons who violate this clause will be subject to punitive measures as set down by their alliance.

Article V
This treaty can be amended by a 2/3 vote of the signatory members.

Article VI
Signatories can leave this pact by providing 72 hours notice on all signatory alliance home forums.

Conclusion

May the Brown Sphere economy flourish!
