<h1>Terms Of Service - Last Updated: 12.4.2019</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Welcome! Taler Systems SA (“we,” “our,” or “us”) provides a payment service
|
||||
through our Internet presence (collectively the “Services”). Before using our
|
||||
Services, please read the Terms of Service (the “Terms” or the “Agreement”)
|
||||
carefully.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>Overview</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This
|
||||
section provides a brief summary of the highlights of this Agreement.
|
||||
Please note that when you accept this Agreement, you are accepting
|
||||
all of the terms and conditions and not just this section. We and
|
||||
possibly other third parties provide Internet services which interact
|
||||
with the Taler Wallet’s self-hosted personal payment application.
|
||||
When using the Taler Wallet to interact with our Services, you are
|
||||
agreeing to our Terms, so please read carefully.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>Highlights:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>You
|
||||
are responsible for keeping the data in your Taler Wallet at all
|
||||
times under your control. Any losses arising from you not being in
|
||||
control of your private information are your problem.
|
||||
<li>We
|
||||
will try to transfer funds we hold in escrow for our users to any
|
||||
legal recipient to the best of our ability within the limitations of
|
||||
the law and our implementation. However, the Services offered today
|
||||
are highly experimental and the set of recipients of funds is
|
||||
severely restricted.
|
||||
<li>For
|
||||
our Services, we may charge transaction fees. The specific fee
|
||||
structure is provided based on the Taler protocol and should be
|
||||
shown to you when you withdraw electronic coins using a Taler
|
||||
Wallet. You agree and understand that the Taler protocol allows for
|
||||
the fee structure to change.
|
||||
<li>You
|
||||
agree to not intentionally overwhelm our systems with requests and
|
||||
follow responsible disclosure if you find security issues in our
|
||||
services.
|
||||
<li>We
|
||||
cannot be held accountable for our Services not being available due
|
||||
to circumstances beyond our control. If we modify or terminate our
|
||||
services, we will try to give you the opportunity to recover your
|
||||
funds. However, given the experimental state of the Services today,
|
||||
this may not be possible. You are strongly advised to limit your use
|
||||
of the Service to small-scale experiments expecting total loss of
|
||||
all funds.
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>These
|
||||
terms outline approved uses of our Services. The Services and these
|
||||
Terms are still at an experimental stage. If you have any questions
|
||||
or comments related to this Agreement, please send us a message to
|
||||
legal@taler-systems.com. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you
|
||||
must not use our Services.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>How you accept this policy</h2>
|
||||
<p>By
|
||||
sending funds to us (to top-up your Taler Wallet), you acknowledge
|
||||
that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. We reserve
|
||||
the right to change these Terms at any time. If you disagree with the
|
||||
change, we may in the future offer you with an easy option to recover
|
||||
your unspent funds. However, in the current experimental period you
|
||||
acknowledge that this feature is not yet available, resulting in your
|
||||
funds being lost unless you accept the new Terms. If you continue to
|
||||
use our Services other than to recover your unspent funds, your
|
||||
continued use of our Services following any such change will signify
|
||||
your acceptance to be bound by the then current Terms. Please check
|
||||
the effective date above to determine if there have been any changes
|
||||
since you have last reviewed these Terms.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Services</h2>
|
||||
<p>We
|
||||
will try to transfer funds that we hold in escrow for our users to
|
||||
any legal recipient to the best of our ability and within the
|
||||
limitations of the law and our implementation. However, the Services
|
||||
offered today are highly experimental and the set of recipients of
|
||||
funds is severely restricted.</p>
|
||||
<p>The
|
||||
Taler Wallet can be loaded by exchanging fiat currencies against
|
||||
electronic coins. We are providing this exchange service. Once your
|
||||
Taler Wallet is loaded with electronic coins they can be spent for
|
||||
purchases if the seller is accepting Taler as a means of payment. We
|
||||
are not guaranteeing that any seller is accepting Taler at all or a
|
||||
particular seller.</p>
|
||||
<p>The
|
||||
seller or recipient of deposits of electronic coins must specify the
|
||||
target account, as per the design of the Taler protocol. They are
|
||||
responsible for following the protocol and specifying the correct
|
||||
bank account, and are solely liable for any losses that may arise
|
||||
from specifying the wrong account. We will allow the government to
|
||||
link wire transfers to the underlying contract hash. It is the
|
||||
responsibility of recipients to preserve the full contracts and to
|
||||
pay whatever taxes and charges may be applicable. Technical issues
|
||||
may lead to situations where we are unable to make transfers at all
|
||||
or lead to incorrect transfers that cannot be reversed. We will only
|
||||
refuse to execute transfers if the transfers are prohibited by a
|
||||
competent legal authority and we are ordered to do so.</p>

</p>
|
||||
<h2>FEES</h2>
|
||||
<p>You
|
||||
agree to pay the fees for exchanges and withdrawals completed via the
|
||||
Taler Wallet ("Fees") as defined by us, which we may change
|
||||
from time to time. With the exception of wire transfer fees, Taler
|
||||
transaction fees are set for any electronic coin at the time of
|
||||
withdrawal and fixed throughout the validity period of the respective
|
||||
electronic coin. Your wallet should obtain and display applicable
|
||||
fees when withdrawing funds. Fees for coins obtained as change may
|
||||
differ from the fees applicable to the original coin. Wire transfer
|
||||
fees that are independent from electronic coins may change annually.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>You
|
||||
authorize us to charge or deduct applicable fees owed in connection
|
||||
with deposits, exchanges and withdrawals following the rules of the
|
||||
Taler protocol.</p>
|
||||
<p>We
|
||||
reserve the right to provide different types of rewards to users
|
||||
either in the form of discount for our Services or in any other form
|
||||
at our discretion and without prior notice to you.</p>
|
||||
<h2>ELIGIBILITY</h2>
|
||||
<p>To
|
||||
be eligible to use our Services, you must be able to form legally
|
||||
binding contracts or have the permission of your legal guardian. By
|
||||
using our Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all
|
||||
eligibility requirements that we outline in these Terms.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>FINANCIAL SELF-RESPONSIBILITY</p>
|
||||
<p>You
|
||||
will be responsible for maintaining the availability, integrity and
|
||||
confidentiality of the data stored in your wallet. When you setup a
|
||||
Taler Wallet, you are strongly advised to follow the precautionary
|
||||
measures offered by the software to minimize the chances to losse
|
||||
access to or control over your Wallet data. We will not be liable for
|
||||
any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this
|
||||
paragraph.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>COPYRIGHTS and TRADEMARKS</h2>
|
||||
<p>The
|
||||
Taler Wallet is released under the terms of the GNU General Public
|
||||
License (GNU GPL). You have the right to access, use, and share the
|
||||

|
||||
itself is a trademark of Taler Systems SA. You are welcome to use the
|
||||
name in relation to processing payments using the Taler protocol,
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES</h2>
|
||||
<p>When
|
||||
using our Services, you agree to not take any action that
|
||||
intentionally imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure. If
|
||||
you find security problems in our Services, you agree to first report
|
||||
them to <a href="mailto:security@taler-systems.com">security@taler-systems.com</a>
|
||||
and grant us the right to publish your report. We warrant that we
|
||||
will ourselves publicly disclose any issues reported within 3 months,
|
||||
and that we will not prosecute anyone reporting security issues if
|
||||
they did not exploit the issue beyond a proof-of-concept, and
|
||||
followed the above responsible disclosure practice.</p>
|
||||
<h2>LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES</h2>
|
||||
<p>You
|
||||
understand and agree that we have no control over, and no duty to

||||

|
||||
<p>You
|
||||
release us from all liability related to any losses, damages, or

||||
claims arising from:

|

<h2>LIMITATION OF LIABILITY</h2>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>To
|

the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will we

|
||||
counsel, employees, consultants, lawyers, and other personnel
|
||||
authorized to act, acting, or purporting to act on our behalf
|
||||
(collectively the “Taler Parties”) be liable to you under
|
||||
contract, tort, strict liability, negligence, or any other legal or
|
||||
equitable theory, for:
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
any lost profits, data loss, cost of procurement of substitute goods
|
||||
or services, or direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive,
|
||||
compensatory, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever
|
||||
resulting from:

<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|

your use of, or conduct in connection with, our services;</li>
|
||||
<li>
|

|
||||
<li>any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the
|
||||

|
||||
strict liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, or any
|

other legal theory, and whether or not we were advised of the
|
||||
possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the
|
||||
exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental
|
||||
damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>WARRANTY DISCLAIMER</h2>
|
||||
<p>Our
|
||||
services are provided "as is" and without warranty of any
|
||||
kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all
|
||||
representations and warranties, express or implied, relating to the

|
||||
without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
|
||||
particular purpose, title, non-infringement, freedom from computer
|
||||
virus, and any implied warranties arising from course of dealing,

||||
disclaimed. In addition, we do not represent or warrant that the
|
||||
content accessible via the services is accurate, complete, available,
|
||||
current, free of viruses or other harmful components, or that the
|
||||
results of using the services will meet your requirements. Some
|
||||
states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the
|
||||
foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you. This paragraph gives you
|
||||
specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that
|
||||
vary from state to state.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>INDEMNITY</h2>
|
||||
<p>To
|
||||
the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend,
|
||||
indemnify, and hold harmless the Taler Parties from and against any
|
||||
and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or
|
||||
debt, and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees)
|
||||
arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Services; (b) any
|
||||
feedback or submissions you provide to us concerning the Taler
|
||||
Wallet; (c) your violation of any term of this Agreement; or (d) your
|
||||
violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or the rights of any third
|
||||
party.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>TIME LIMITATION ON CLAIMS</h2>
|
||||
<p>You
|
||||
agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your
|
||||
relationship with us must be filed within one year after such claim
|
||||
arises, otherwise, your claim in permanently barred.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>GOVERNING LAW</h2>
|
||||
<p>No
|
||||
matter where you’re located, the laws of Switzerland will govern
|
||||
these Terms. If any provisions of these Terms are inconsistent with
|
||||
any applicable law, those provisions will be superseded or modified
|
||||
only to the extent such provisions are inconsistent. The parties
|
||||
agree to submit to the ordinary courts in Zurich, Switzerland for
|
||||
exclusive jurisdiction of any dispute arising out of or related to
|
||||
your use of the Services or your breach of these Terms.

||||

<p>We
|
||||
may, in our sole discretion and without cost to you, with or without
|
||||
prior notice, and at any time, modify or discontinue, temporarily or
|
||||
permanently, any portion of our Services. We will use the Taler
|
||||
protocol’s provisions to notify Wallets if our Services are to be
|
||||
discontinued. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Taler
|
||||
Wallet is online at least once every three months to observe these
|
||||
notifications. We shall not be held responsible or liable for any
|
||||
loss of funds in the event that we discontinue or depreciate the
|
||||
Services and your Taler Wallet fails to transfer out the coins within
|
||||
a three months notification period.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>NO WAIVER</h2>
|
||||
<p>Our
|
||||
failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power, or

privilege under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver; nor

|
||||
privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>SEVERABILITY</h2>
|
||||
<p>If
|
||||
it turns out that any part of this Agreement is invalid, void, or for
|
||||
any reason unenforceable, that term will be deemed severable and
|
||||
limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>FORCE MAJEURE</h2>
|
||||
<p>We
|
||||
shall not be held liable for any delays, failure in performance, or
|
||||
interruptions of service which result directly or indirectly from any
|
||||
cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, including but not
|
||||
limited to: any delay or failure due to any act of God, act of civil
|
||||
or military authorities, act of terrorism, civil disturbance, war,
|
||||
strike or other labor dispute, fire, interruption in
|
||||
telecommunications or Internet services or network provider services,
|
||||
failure of equipment and/or software, other catastrophe, or any other
|
||||
occurrence which is beyond our reasonable control and shall not
|
||||
affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>ASSIGNMENT</h2>
|
||||
<p>You
|
||||
agree that we may assign any of our rights and/or transfer,
|
||||
sub-contract, or delegate any of our obligations under these Terms.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>ENTIRE AGREEMENT</h2>
|
||||
<p>This
|
||||
Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement as to the
|
||||
subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions,
|
||||
agreements, and understandings of any kind (including, without
|
||||
limitation, any prior versions of this Agreement) and every nature
|
||||
between us. Except as provided for above, any modification to this
|
||||
Agreement must be in writing and must be signed by both parties.

to interact with our Services, you are agreeing to our Terms, so please read
|
||||
carefully.
|
||||
|
||||
Highlights:
|
||||
• You are responsible for keeping the data in your Taler Wallet at all times
|
||||
under your control. Any losses arising from you not being in control of
|
||||
your private information are your problem.
|
||||
• We will try to transfer funds we hold in escrow for our users to any legal
|
||||
recipient to the best of our ability within the limitations of the law and
|
||||
our implementation. However, the Services offered today are highly
|
||||
experimental and the set of recipients of funds is severely restricted.
|
||||
• For our Services, we may charge transaction fees. The specific fee structure
|
||||
is provided based on the Taler protocol and should be shown to you when you
|
||||
withdraw electronic coins using a Taler Wallet. You agree and understand
|
||||
that the Taler protocol allows for the fee structure to change.
|
||||
• You agree to not intentionally overwhelm our systems with requests and
|
||||
follow responsible disclosure if you find security issues in our services.
|
||||
• We cannot be held accountable for our Services not being available due to
|
||||
circumstances beyond our control. If we modify or terminate our services,
|
||||
we will try to give you the opportunity to recover your funds. However,
|
||||
given the experimental state of the Services today, this may not be
|
||||
possible. You are strongly advised to limit your use of the Service
|
||||
to small-scale experiments expecting total loss of all funds.
|
||||
|
||||
These terms outline approved uses of our Services. The Services and these
|
||||
Terms are still at an experimental stage. If you have any questions or
|
||||
comments related to this Agreement, please send us a message to
|
||||
legal@taler-systems.com. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you must not
|
||||
use our Services.
|
||||
|
||||
HOW YOU ACCEPT THIS POLICY
|
||||
|
||||
By sending funds to us (to top-up your Taler Wallet), you acknowledge that you
|
||||
have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. We reserve the right to
|
||||
change these Terms at any time. If you disagree with the change, we may in the
|
||||
future offer you with an easy option to recover your unspent funds. However,
|
||||
in the current experimental period you acknowledge that this feature is not
|
||||
yet available, resulting in your funds being lost unless you accept the new
|
||||
Terms. If you continue to use our Services other than to recover your unspent
|
||||
funds, your continued use of our Services following any such change will
|
||||
signify your acceptance to be bound by the then current Terms. Please check
|
||||
the effective date above to determine if there have been any changes since you
|
||||
have last reviewed these Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
SERVICES
|
||||
|
||||
We will try to transfer funds that we hold in escrow for our users to any
|
||||
legal recipient to the best of our ability and within the limitations of the
|
||||
law and our implementation. However, the Services offered today are highly
|
||||
experimental and the set of recipients of funds is severely restricted. The
|
||||
Taler Wallet can be loaded by exchanging fiat currencies against electronic
|
||||
coins. We are providing this exchange service. Once your Taler Wallet is
|
||||
loaded with electronic coins they can be spent for purchases if the seller is
|
||||
accepting Taler as a means of payment. We are not guaranteeing that any seller
|
||||
is accepting Taler at all or a particular seller. The seller or recipient of
|
||||
deposits of electronic coins must specify the target account, as per the
|
||||
design of the Taler protocol. They are responsible for following the protocol
|
||||
and specifying the correct bank account, and are solely liable for any losses
|
||||
that may arise from specifying the wrong account. We will allow the government
|
||||
to link wire transfers to the underlying contract hash. It is the
|
||||
responsibility of recipients to preserve the full contracts and to pay
|
||||
whatever taxes and charges may be applicable. Technical issues may lead to
|
||||
situations where we are unable to make transfers at all or lead to incorrect
|
||||
transfers that cannot be reversed. We will only refuse to execute transfers if
|
||||
the transfers are prohibited by a competent legal authority and we are ordered
|
||||
to do so.
|
||||
|
||||
FEES
|
||||
|
||||
You agree to pay the fees for exchanges and withdrawals completed via the
|
||||
Taler Wallet ("Fees") as defined by us, which we may change from time to
|
||||
time. With the exception of wire transfer fees, Taler transaction fees are set
|
||||
for any electronic coin at the time of withdrawal and fixed throughout the
|
||||
validity period of the respective electronic coin. Your wallet should obtain
|
||||
and display applicable fees when withdrawing funds. Fees for coins obtained as
|
||||
change may differ from the fees applicable to the original coin. Wire transfer
|
||||
fees that are independent from electronic coins may change annually. You
|
||||
authorize us to charge or deduct applicable fees owed in connection with
|
||||
deposits, exchanges and withdrawals following the rules of the Taler protocol.
|
||||
We reserve the right to provide different types of rewards to users either in
|
||||
the form of discount for our Services or in any other form at our discretion
|
||||
and without prior notice to you.
|
||||
|
||||
ELIGIBILITY
|
||||
|
||||
To be eligible to use our Services, you must be able to form legally binding
|
||||
contracts or have the permission of your legal guardian. By using our
|
||||
Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements
|
||||
that we outline in these Terms.
|
||||
|
||||
FINANCIAL SELF-RESPONSIBILITY
|
||||
|
||||
You will be responsible for maintaining the availability, integrity and
|
||||
confidentiality of the data stored in your wallet. When you setup a Taler
|
||||
Wallet, you are strongly advised to follow the precautionary measures offered
|
||||
by the software to minimize the chances to losse access to or control over
|
||||
your Wallet data. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from
|
||||
your failure to comply with this paragraph.

|
||||

|
||||
theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such
