This directory contains the terms of service (template) for exchange
operators.
Dependencies
============
Generating new Terms of Service requires Sphinx, LaTeX with babel
packages for all supported languages. On Debian, you should
at least install:
$ apt install python3-sphinx sphinx-intl texlive-lang-german texlive-lang-english
(NOTE: List may be incomplete.)
Updating the Terms of Service
=============================
The master file with the Terms of service is 'tos.rst'.
If you make substantial changes, you MUST change the "TOS_VERSION"
in contrib/Makefile.am to the new Etag.
To begin the translation into other languages after editing the master
file, run
$ make gettext
to generate the master PO file. Then, run
$ sphinx-intl update -p _build/locale/ -l de -l fr -l it
to update the PO files for the various languages (extend the list of
languages as necessary). The PO files for the translators are kept
at locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/tos.po for the language $LANG.
Once all PO files have been updated with new translations, run
$ make update-tos
in the "contrib/" directory to generate all of the formats. The
respective make rule calls the '../update-tos.sh' script in the
contrib/ directory, which calls the 'Makefile' in the tos/
directory for the various supported languages and file formats
and then moves the generated files to the target directory
('contrib/tos/$LANG/$VERSION.$FORMAT')
Adding a new language
=====================
To add a new language $LANG, add $LANG to "TOS_LANGUAGES" in
'contrib/Makefile.am' and run
$ sphinx-intl update -p _build/gettext -l $LANG
to generate the PO template.

<h1>Terms Of Service<a class="headerlink" href="#terms-of-service" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Last Updated: 12.4.2019</p>
<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 Wallets 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 lang="en" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; line-height: 100%">
<br/>
<br/>
</p>
<h2>FEES</h2>
<p>You
agree to pay the fees for exchanges and withdrawals completed via the
Taler Wallet (&quot;Fees&quot;) 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
Taler Wallet, in modified or unmodified form. However, the GPL is a
strong copyleft license, which means that any derivative works must
be distributed under the same license terms as the original software.
If you have any questions, you should review the GNU GPLs full
terms and conditions at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html.
</p>
<p>"Taler"
itself is a trademark of Taler Systems SA. You are welcome to use the
name in relation to processing payments using the Taler protocol,
assuming your use is compatible with an official release from the GNU
Project that is not older than two years.
</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 &amp; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES</h2>
<p>You
understand and agree that we have no control over, and no duty to
take any action regarding: Failures, disruptions, errors, or delays
in processing that you may experience while using our Services; The
risk of failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections; The
risk of malicious software being introduced or found in the software
underlying the Taler Wallet; The risk that third parties may obtain
unauthorized access to information stored within your Taler Wallet,
including, but not limited to your Taler Wallet coins or backup
encryption keys.
</p>
<p>You
release us from all liability related to any losses, damages, or
claims arising from:
<ol>
<li>user error such as forgotten passwords, incorrectly constructed

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
Wallets self-hosted personal payment application. When using the Taler Wallet
to interact with our Services, you are agreeing to our Terms, so please read

<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

<h2>Services<a class="headerlink" href="#services" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></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. 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.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="fees">
<h2>Fees<a class="headerlink" href="#fees" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></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. 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.</p>

OVERVIEW
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.
Overview
========
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
Wallets 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.
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 Wallets 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.
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.
* 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.
HOW YOU ACCEPT THIS POLICY
* 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.
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.
* 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.
SERVICES
* You agree to not intentionally overwhelm our systems with
requests and follow responsible disclosure if you find security
issues in our 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

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

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.

Terms Of Service
================
Last Updated: 12.4.2019
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.
Overview
--------
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
Wallets 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.
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.
Copyrights and trademarks
-------------------------
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 Taler Wallet, in
modified or unmodified form. However, the GPL is a strong copyleft license,
which means that any derivative works must be distributed under the same
license terms as the original software. If you have any questions, you should
review the GNU GPLs full terms and conditions at
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html. “Taler” itself is a trademark

payments using the Taler protocol, assuming your use is compatible with an
official release from the GNU Project that is not older than two years.
Your use of our services
------------------------
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
security@taler-systems.com 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.
Limitation of liability & disclaimer of warranties
--------------------------------------------------
You understand and agree that we have no control over, and no duty to take any
action regarding: Failures, disruptions, errors, or delays in processing that
you may experience while using our Services; The risk of failure of hardware,

Limitation of liability
-----------------------
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will we or any
of our officers, directors, representatives, agents, servants, counsel,

be liable to you under contract, tort, strict liability, negligence, or any
other legal or equitable theory, for:

any third party (regardless of the source of origination), or
(b) any direct damages.
These limitations apply regardless of legal theory, whether based on tort,
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.

accessible via the services is accurate, complete, available, current, free of
