Foundation / Ownership

Possession alone cannot create Ownership.

A secure scan may verify a physical product. A successful authorized Claim, completed approved transfer, or another approved reason-coded event is what creates or changes zHezar’s platform Ownership record.

Reference only. No product, scan, Claim, owner, username, transfer, Collection, correction, evidence file, or Ownership record is represented here.

Identity / verification / event / authority

Current evidence

The authority model is defined. Ownership activation is not.

The repository specifies invariants, protected service boundaries, and public privacy constraints. It does not evidence an issued Product Identity, live token, completed Claim, current owner, approved transfer workflow, or public record activation.

Confirmed invariant

One physical garment has no more than one current owner.

Historical periods remain append-only. A valid transition closes the prior current period and creates the next atomically.

Current safe state

No owner or garment is shown.

OD-016 remains Draft, so no username, history, optional Collection, public field, or ownership control is invented.

Six distinct layers

Related facts do not share the same authority.

Each layer answers a different question and must remain independently validated.

Product Identity

What official physical item is this?

Stable garment, Edition, unit, and lineage relationships survive token replacement and ownership change.

Secure verification

Did the current physical credential validate?

A live server result may establish token and product authenticity—not Ownership by itself.

Possession

Who physically holds the item now?

Possession may support a Claim, transfer, dispute, or service case, but cannot overwrite the record.

Claim

Did the authorized first-ownership process complete?

A validated operation may create the first Ownership record only when every required condition passes.

Ownership

Which account holds current platform authority?

The current OwnershipRecord linked to the active physical identity and permanent account reference is authoritative.

Public presentation

What privacy-safe relationship may be shown?

A limited projection may explain approved history; it never becomes the source of Ownership authority.

Authorized ownership events

Ownership begins or changes only after an approved process completes.

The protected Claim and Ownership service consumes validated results and performs the mutation. A page, device, user assertion, or cached state cannot do so.

Primary path

Successful authorized first Claim.

Creates first Ownership only after identity, account, delivery, secure scan, token, hold, and backend checks pass.

Primary path

Completed approved transfer or gift transfer.

Changes current authority only after every configured digital, physical, eligibility, security, and acceptance condition completes.

Protected path

Another approved reason-coded event.

May include approved marketplace transfer, identity-preserving exchange or reissue, inheritance when active, deleted-owner open Claim, or evidenced correction.

Fourteen non-authority signals

Useful evidence is not current Ownership.

Any of these may support fulfillment, review, a dispute, or an approved workflow. None creates or changes platform Ownership alone.

Six historical roles

Owner is not one interchangeable label.

These relationships can belong to different accounts over a product’s life. Public presentation must label them accurately and reveal only the approved privacy-safe projection.

Original purchaser

Completed the original approved purchase.

May differ from the first claimant when a separately approved gift workflow applies.

First claimant

Completed the first authorized Claim.

The account that finished the protected first-Claim process.

Original owner

Received the first completed Ownership record.

This role remains historical after a later valid transfer.

First rarity discoverer

Completed the first authorized reveal, if applicable.

Discovery does not automatically mean purchaser or current owner.

Current owner

Holds the one current authoritative Ownership record.

Profile visibility or scanning activity does not add or remove this authority.

Former owner

Previously held completed Ownership.

The historical relationship remains, but owner-only authority has ended.

Authorized first Claim

Every required condition must still be true at completion.

The server revalidates current authority at the mutation boundary. Prior evidence or a successful screen is not enough.

  1. 01

    Eligible purchasing account

    The authorized account and any approved gift relationship are resolved.

  2. 02

    Delivered and claimable state

    Order, return, cancellation, payment, fraud, legal, security, and ownership holds permit the operation.

  3. 03

    Secure physical verification

    The current active token and Product Identity validate through the authoritative backend.

  4. 04

    No current Ownership record

    The operation fails closed if ownership exists or concurrent authority cannot be resolved.

  5. 05

    Server-side revalidation

    Authentication, authorization, expiry, operation identity, and current facts are checked at mutation.

  6. 06

    Atomic record and history

    The first Ownership record and required provenance are created together or not at all.

Completed transfer

Invitation or acceptance alone does not change Ownership.

A transfer remains pending until current-owner authority, the intended receiver, physical verification, eligibility, terms, holds, and final server mutation all complete.

Before completion

The existing owner remains current.

Invitation, acceptance, payment arrangement, meeting, delivery, or a scan attempt is not a completed transition.

At completion

The transition changes authority atomically.

The prior period closes, the receiver’s current period opens, the product reference updates, and provenance records the event.

After completion

Former and current authority separate.

The former owner loses owner-only controls, the new owner gains them, and configured holds begin without deleting history.

Public and protected

The record can be authoritative without exposing the case file.

OD-016 remains Draft. Optional public Collection and historical-owner modules stay disabled, and the public projection uses the most privacy-preserving presentation.

Potential public projection

Privacy-safe username-based relationships and required product history.

Only approved fields, time precision, owner labels, profile references, and required provenance may appear.

Always protected

Legal identity, contact, address, payment, location, security, and evidence.

Orders, devices, network signals, disputes, fraud review, case files, and private ownership history remain access-controlled.

Corrections, holds, and continuity

A complaint is not a reversal.

Ownership changes, revocations, restorations, and corrections require a documented approved process, evidence, authority, reason, audit history, and any required notice or appeal.

  • Legal process
  • Fraud decision
  • Payment decision
  • Return
  • Exchange
  • Replacement or reissue
  • Account-deletion process
  • Ownership dispute
  • Security correction
  • Administrative correction
Inactivity continuity

Valid Ownership does not expire through inactivity.

Stopping scans, leaving the platform, account inactivity, or the product leaving sale does not silently remove a completed record. Required provenance survives ordinary profile changes and deletion according to approved policy.

Public promise limits

This explainer is not Ownership evidence.

  1. 01

    This page creates, verifies, displays, changes, revokes, restores, or corrects an Ownership record.

  2. 02

    A scan, static URL, screenshot, receipt, delivery, possession, or support statement establishes Ownership.

  3. 03

    Product authenticity and physical possession automatically resolve legal title or every dispute.

  4. 04

    A public username or profile presentation is the authoritative account or Ownership identifier.

  5. 05

    An invitation, acceptance, payment, handoff, or scan attempt means a transfer completed.

  6. 06

    A complaint, profile preference, inactivity, or stopped scanning silently reverses valid Ownership.

  7. 07

    Public provenance exposes private identity, contact, address, payment, security, or evidence records.

  8. 08

    This reference activates a Claim, transfer, Collection, marketplace, inheritance, correction, case, support, or legal process.
