3. Service guarantee

The Services are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.

For the purposes of determining what you can do with specific works in the Ironbelly project, this policy should be read together with the licence(s) of the relevant packages. For the avoidance of doubt, where any other licence grants rights, this policy does not modify or reduce those rights under those licences.

We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Services in whole or in part, and to terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services. We reserve the right to assign our rights and responsibilities under these Terms to any third party.

7. Supported digital assets

Our Services are for use with the digital assets which are actively supported now and those we may explicitly decide to support in the future at our discretion. We have no obligation to support any digital assets (including but not limited to any forkcoins, altcoins, airdrops or any other digital assets however named) other than any digital asset we may explicitly decide to support in the future at our discretion. We assume no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use our Services for digital assets that we do not support.

8. Responsibility for authentication

Our Services provide a number of ways for you to secure your Wallets and help ensure you, and only you, are able to access and transact through your Wallets. These features include seeds, passwords, among other features. We do not store or have access to your seeds, passwords or private keys. It is your responsibility to carefully guard your seeds, passwords, and any other means we may provide for you to secure and access your Wallets. If you forget or lose your means of authentication we have no way to recover them for you and you may permanently lose access to any Digital Assets you have stored in your Wallets.
If you use our Services to create Wallets, the software will use an algorithm to generate a random 24-word phrase as a seed to a BIP32 hierarchical wallet. This 24-word phrase is called a seed and if reproduced exactly stores all the information needed to recover your Wallets if access through a password or other authentication means is lost or otherwise not available. Please be aware that most mobile devices do not make use of special hardware protection (a so-called ‘secure element’) for storing your seed. We advise you to transfer funds to a more secure Wallet (a paper or hardware wallet) when amounts of over 1,000 USD of worth as a sum of all Wallets is reached.
If you use our Service to import a Wallet be aware that most mobile devices do not make use of special hardware protection (a so-called ‘secure element’) for storing your seed. We advise you to not activate or keep Wallets with amounts over 1,000 USD of worth on such a mobile device.
We do not store, have access to, or have any way or means of recovering your seed. It is your responsibility to keep your seed secure and to write it down or store it as soon as possible after creation. You should not provide it to anyone, including any representative of the Ironbelly project.
If you permanently forget or lose your seed, you will NEVER be able to recover any cryptocurrency in your Wallets, and you will suffer a complete, irrecoverable and catastrophic loss of all Digital Assets in your Wallets. It is your responsibility to safeguard and retain your seed. We have no responsibility and will not be liable for any loss or damage you suffer from the loss or misappropriation of your seed.
If your seed is willingly or unwillingly disclosed to someone else, you risk losing all your funds. We have no responsibility and are not able to restore any funds.
