Terms of Use

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Vaulta Wallet, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and the operators of Vaulta Wallet governing your access to and use of the software. If you do not agree with these Terms in their entirety, you must immediately discontinue use of the Wallet and refrain from installing or accessing the software.

Vaulta Wallet is provided as software intended to facilitate interaction with the Vaulta blockchain. Your use of the Wallet represents your acknowledgment that you understand the nature of blockchain-based systems, including the technical and financial risks associated with digital assets, decentralized networks, and cryptographic key management. By continuing to use the Wallet, you confirm that you enter into this agreement voluntarily and with full legal capacity.

You represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, and that you possess the authority and legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. If you are using the Wallet on behalf of an organization or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access to and use of Vaulta Wallet complies with all laws, regulations, and rules applicable in your country of residence or jurisdiction. The Wallet is intended to be used only where such use is lawful. If the use of non-custodial cryptocurrency software or interaction with blockchain networks is restricted or prohibited in your jurisdiction, you must not access or use the Wallet.

For the purposes of understanding Vaulta Wallet, the following definitions and descriptions apply:

Vaulta Wallet is a non-custodial software application. The Wallet does not hold, store, manage, or control your Digital Assets, Private Keys, Recovery Phrase, or any other cryptographic credentials. All Private Keys are generated and stored locally on your device, and all transactions are signed locally before being broadcast to the Vaulta blockchain.

The operators of Vaulta Wallet do not have access to, and cannot access, retrieve, reset, or recover your Private Keys, Recovery Phrase, passwords, or Digital Assets. Because the Wallet operates as a client-side interface to the Vaulta blockchain, all asset ownership and control remain solely with the User.

By using Vaulta Wallet, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• You retain sole custody and control over your Private Keys and Digital Assets at all times.
• The operators of Vaulta Wallet cannot access, freeze, reverse, cancel, or modify blockchain transactions.
• If you lose your Private Keys or Recovery Phrase, access to your Digital Assets may be permanently and irreversibly lost.
• Blockchain transactions, once confirmed, are final and cannot be undone.
• The Wallet does not provide account recovery, asset insurance, custody services, or transaction dispute resolution.

4.1 User Security Practices

The security of your Vaulta Wallet depends on the protective measures you implement on your device and within your operating environment. Because the Wallet operates locally, its integrity is directly influenced by the security of your hardware, operating system, installed applications, and network connection. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date system software, applying security patches, and using reputable security tools where appropriate.

You should use strong and unique passwords for your device and wallet access, restrict physical access to your computer, and avoid installing untrusted software that may compromise your system. Public or shared computers are not suitable environments for managing Digital Assets. You acknowledge that failure to implement reasonable security practices may significantly increase the risk of unauthorized access.

4.2 Protection and Storage of Sensitive Credentials

Your Private Keys and Recovery Phrase represent full control over your Digital Assets. You are responsible for determining how and where such information is stored. Best practices include offline storage methods, physical backups in secure locations, and avoidance of digital exposure through screenshots, cloud storage services, unsecured email accounts, or messaging platforms.

You should exercise caution when interacting with third-party websites, browser extensions, or applications that request wallet access or signature approvals. Phishing attempts, malicious software, and social engineering schemes are common risks within blockchain ecosystems. You are responsible for verifying the authenticity of applications, websites, and communication channels before approving any transaction or connection request.

4.3 Consequences of Compromised Security

If your device, login credentials, Private Keys, or Recovery Phrase become compromised, unauthorized parties may gain the ability to initiate transactions or otherwise access your Digital Assets. In such cases:

• Transactions signed through a compromised environment may be executed on the blockchain.
• Malicious software may alter transaction details before you approve them.
• Physical theft of your device may expose wallet access if proper safeguards are not in place.
• Recovery may require you to create a new Wallet environment and transfer remaining assets, where possible.

5.1 Lawful and Responsible Use

You agree to use Vaulta Wallet in a lawful and responsible manner. The Wallet is provided as a technical interface for interacting with the Vaulta blockchain, and all actions performed through it are initiated solely by you.

5.2 Prohibited Conduct

You agree that you will not use Vaulta Wallet for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful purposes, including violations of financial regulations, sanctions programs, anti-money laundering laws, or other legal frameworks. Without limitation, you must not:

• Use the Wallet to facilitate illegal activities, including fraud, theft, or unlawful financial transactions.
• Attempt to exploit bugs, vulnerabilities, or weaknesses in smart contracts, decentralized applications, or blockchain infrastructure.
• Use automated tools, scripts, or excessive transaction activity to overload or disrupt network services.
• Circumvent technical safeguards implemented in the software.
• Engage in conduct that could damage the reputation or operational integrity of the Vaulta ecosystem.

5.3 Independent Decision-Making

All decisions made through Vaulta Wallet, including asset transfers, staking actions, governance participation, or interaction with decentralized applications, are made independently by you. The Wallet does not evaluate the legality, security, reliability, or economic value of digital assets, protocols, or smart contracts.

You acknowledge that blockchain transactions involve inherent technical and financial risks. Before initiating any transaction, you are responsible for reviewing all transaction details, understanding associated costs or resource requirements, and assessing the risks involved. The operators of Vaulta Wallet do not provide investment, legal, or tax advice and do not endorse any third-party application or protocol accessible through the Wallet.

Vaulta Wallet may not be used in connection with activities that are unlawful, harmful, abusive, or inconsistent with the intended technical purpose of the software. By using the Wallet, you agree that you will not engage in conduct that undermines the security, stability, or integrity of the Vaulta network, connected services, or other users.

Vaulta Wallet itself does not charge custody fees for holding Digital Assets, as it operates as a non-custodial software application. However, the use of the Vaulta blockchain may require allocation of network resources or payment of costs associated with transaction processing, smart contract execution, or data storage. These costs are determined by the rules and mechanisms of the Vaulta network and are not set, controlled, or modified by the operators of the Wallet.

Transactions initiated through Vaulta Wallet are broadcast to the Vaulta blockchain and are subject to the resource model implemented by the network. Depending on the nature of the transaction, users may be required to allocate CPU, NET, or RAM resources, or otherwise meet the technical requirements necessary for successful execution. The Wallet provides an interface to manage such allocations but does not guarantee that sufficient resources will always be available.

In addition, interactions with third-party decentralized applications, smart contracts, or external services accessed through the Wallet may involve separate fees, commissions, or economic conditions determined solely by those services. The Wallet does not calculate, collect, or retain such fees unless explicitly stated within the software interface.

• Any network-level costs associated with transactions are determined by the Vaulta blockchain protocol and related infrastructure.
• Resource allocation requirements (including CPU, NET, and RAM) are the responsibility of the User.
• The Wallet does not control or guarantee transaction confirmation times or execution priority.
• Third-party services accessed through the Wallet may impose their own fees or economic conditions.
• Market volatility may affect the value of Digital Assets involved in transactions.

Vaulta Wallet may enable you to access, connect to, or interact with third-party services, decentralized applications (“dApps”), smart contracts, blockchain protocols, RPC providers, or other external infrastructure. These services are not owned, operated, or controlled by the operators of Vaulta Wallet, even if they are accessible through the Wallet interface.

When you connect to or interact with a third-party service through Vaulta Wallet, you do so at your own discretion and risk. The Wallet functions solely as a technical interface that allows you to sign and broadcast transactions to the Vaulta blockchain. It does not verify, audit, monitor, or guarantee the security, functionality, or legitimacy of any third-party application or smart contract.

You acknowledge that third-party services may have their own terms of use, privacy policies, economic models, and risk structures. Vaulta Wallet is not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, security, or performance of such services. This includes, without limitation, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, NFT marketplaces, governance systems, staking contracts, or any other blockchain-based applications.

Interaction with smart contracts involves inherent technical risks, including coding errors, vulnerabilities, exploits, or unintended behavior. The Wallet does not review or certify smart contract code and does not provide any representation or warranty regarding the safety or reliability of such contracts.

By using Vaulta Wallet to access third-party services, you agree that:

• You are solely responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms applicable to those services.
• You assume all risks associated with interacting with smart contracts and decentralized protocols.
• The Wallet does not endorse, sponsor, or recommend any specific third-party application.
• Any losses arising from third-party services are not the responsibility of the Wallet operators.
