‍1.2. Modification
We reserve the right to modify this Agreement or change, suspend, or discontinue the Services (including without limitation, removing or limiting access to certain features) at any time in accordance with this provision. If we make changes that will materially disadvantage our existing registered users we will endeavor to provide them with reasonable advance notice. For modifications that we need to make to meet security, safety, legal or regulatory requirements, we may not be able to notify you in advance but we will let you know as soon as practicable. It is also your responsibility to check this Agreement periodically for changes. If you disagree with any modifications your sole remedy is to cease using the Services and close your account. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any such modifications will constitute acceptance of the modifications.
‍1.3. Registration of Decaf Account
You must register for a “Decaf Account” to use the Decaf Services. By using a Decaf Account, you agree that you will use the Services only for yourself, or for another entity with authorization from such entity, and you have authority to agree to and do agree to the terms of this Agreement on behalf of such entity. During registration for your Decaf Account, you agree to provide us with the information we request for the purposes of identity verification and the detection of fraud, and you permit us to keep a record of such information. Your access to one or more Services may be contingent on your ability to successfully satisfy our onboarding requirements, including providing any additional information we may request from time to time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Decaf Account if you provide inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete information, if your account is reasonably suspected of activity that violates this Agreement, or if you fail to comply with the account registration requirements. You agree that you won’t disclose your Decaf Account credentials to anyone, and that you will notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Decaf Account. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Decaf Account, whether or not you know about them. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to open a Decaf Account, or limit the number of Decaf Accounts that you may hold, or limit your ability to access or use certain Services.
‍1.4. Access
To access the Decaf Services, you must have the necessary equipment (such as a smartphone) and the associated telecommunication service subscriptions to access the Internet. The Services can be accessed directly using the Decaf App. Although we strive to provide you with excellent service, we do not represent that the Decaf App or Services will be available without interruption. You acknowledge and agree that from time to time the Services may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including without limitation: (i) equipment or technology malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs which Decaf may undertake from time to time; or (iii) causes beyond the control of Decaf or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Decaf. If for any reason the Services are inaccessible or inoperable, you agree to hold harmless Decaf for any impact this inaccessibility or inoperability may have upon you or your use of the Services.
‍2. SERVICES
2.1. Decaf
In connection with a Decaf Account, Decaf will provide you with an account on the Stellar Network and the Solana Network, featuring one or more cryptographic private and public key pairs. Decaf will also provide the “Decaf Wallet,” and “Decafpay,” which functions as a graphical user interface to allow you to view information about your account on these networks and generate, sign, and submit transactions. The Stellar Network and the Solana Network are not a part of the Services defined herein, however, Decaf will enable you to undertake certain actions and activities on these networks.
2.2. Use of the Stellar and Solana Networks
An account on the Stellar Network or the Solana Network enables the account holder to hold and transfer digital asset balances, undertake certain transactions, interact with smart contracts, and otherwise transact through these networks. Activities on these networks are powered by a network of independent servers and are not controlled by us or any other single entity. We do not and cannot guarantee the successful operation, up-time, security, or functioning of the Stellar Network or the Solana Network. We cannot control the activities of you or third parties who may develop or transact on these networks, validate transactions, or use the networks because we do not control these networks and cannot control activity and data on them. We cannot prevent, erase, reverse, hide, fix, or otherwise change any transaction submitted on these networks. All activity and data on these networks are permanent and public.
You agree and acknowledge that any access or use by you of the Stellar Network or the Solana Network is made solely at your own risk and that we bear no responsibility or liability for your use of these networks, including, without limitation, for any harm, loss, or damages arising from transactions sent to wrong network addresses, incorrectly constructed transactions, software and network problems, technical failures, unauthorized access to any accounts, legal and regulatory matters and consequences, or fraud conducted by third parties.
2.3. Digital Assets
Decaf enables you to store, view, transfer, and otherwise interact with your digital assets on your account on the Stellar Network and the Solana Network. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that Decaf and its related applications will display all digital assets capable of being held in an account on these networks. In providing Decaf, Decaf retains the sole right to select which digital assets from your account on these networks will be displayed to you via the Services. Although Lumens (sometimes referred to as XLM) are the native digital asset of the Stellar Network, and Sol (SOL) is the native digital asset of the Solana Network, neither XLM, SOL, nor any other digital asset held in your account on these networks and displayed in your Decaf is legal tender, backed by any government, or subject to protections or insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The fiat value of XLM, SOL or other digital assets held in your account on these networks and displayed on your Decaf may be highly volatile and may lose all value, even if such digital assets purport to track the value of real-world currency. Decaf does not control, and is not responsible for, the value of any digital assets held in your account on these networks and displayed on your Decaf and makes no representation, warranty, guarantee, or recommendation, express or implied, of its value. You agree to conduct independent due diligence on any digital asset you may acquire using Decaf and agree and acknowledge that any purchase of digital assets by you or on your behalf is made voluntarily, willfully, and exclusively at your own risk. We may impose limits on the total value of digital assets you may hold in your account on these networks and displayed on your Decaf at any time. When such limits are imposed, the quantity and value of your digital asset holdings in the account on these networks associated with your Decaf may differ from that which is displayed on the Decaf interface.
2.4. Decaf Credentials
When creating a Decaf account, the Services generate cryptographic private and public key pairs which will comprise your account on the Stellar Network and the Solana Network. When setting up your Decaf Account you will also be enrolled in the “Key Recovery Services.” With the Key Recovery Services, each account on the Stellar Network and the Solana Network that is accessed through Decaf is provisioned with three associated private keys with the following weights: (i) your device private key, which is encrypted and stored locally on your phone, will possess a weight of 1/3 (“User Key”) (ii) a private key stored by Decaf, with a weight of 1/3 (“Recovery Key”); and (iii) a private key encrypted and stored by a key recovery service provider (a “KRSP”), with a weight of ten (“Recovery Key B”). As such, by using Decaf, you agree to allow Decaf to register the account with two recovery servers (Decaf and the KRSP) for key recovery services, and to be bound by the terms and conditions of the applicable KRSP. Recovery Key A and Recovery Key B are for use exclusively in connection with the Key Recovery Services facilitated by a KRSP, as described below. For Key Recovery Services, you acknowledge that Decaf only controls one of the private keys for your account on the Stellar Network and the Solana Network, and that we do not possess sufficient credentials to take any unilateral action with respect to such account or any balances reflected in such account. We will never take action to recover your account unless we receive a request for action that we reasonably believe was submitted by you and has been confirmed by a phone number or email that you have previously linked to your account. You agree to store, outside of the services, a backup of your User Key and all related Decaf credentials, including any passphrases, mnemonic phrases, identifiers, backup phrases, private keys, and network addresses. If you do not maintain a backup of your User Key and Decaf data outside of the Services, you will not be able to access the digital asset balance in your account on the Stellar Network and the Solana Network that are accessed with your Decaf Account in the event that the Services or  Decaf are disrupted or we discontinue or no longer offer some or all of the Services. The Key Recovery Services are provided at our discretion and should not be relied upon for recovery of funds. You acknowledge and agree that the Key Recovery Services may not function reliably, accurately, securely, or effectively, and that we or a KRSP may lose or otherwise be unable to provide or use Recovery Key A or Recovery B at any time for any reason. We will not maintain nor are we responsible for maintaining any data on your behalf. You agree and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the secure storage of any digital assets accessed through Decaf, your User Key, and any other related private keys in your possession. You agree that in no event will Decaf be liable for the security or control of any digital assets, User Keys, recovery keys, or other credentials held in or related to Decaf. In the future we evolve the key recovery services and key splitting formula, but always ensure that the wallet user has control of the majority of keys.
2.5. Decaf Wallet Transactions
Decaf provides an interface of buttons, links, and other features that enable you to automatically generate, sign, and submit transactions to the Stellar Network and the Solana Network. Decaf will use the cryptographic private key stored locally on your device to sign transactions you initiate and may use the Recovery Key A and Recovery Key B as part of Key Recovery Services to cosign certain transactions. However, we do not control, and are not responsible for, the operation of the Stellar Network or the Solana Network, which are independent, decentralized networks. We do not control the nodes on these networks, the users of these networks, or any other actors involved in generating, validating, or transmitting transactions on these networks, nor do we control the code underlying these networks. We cannot prevent, erase, reverse, hide, fix, or otherwise change any transaction submitted to these networks. We cannot ensure that transactions you attempt to submit via Decaf will be validated by the networks' validators or included in the ledger of transactions. We do not control the order in which transactions are validated and added to the ledger of transactions on these networks or the order in which any state changes are effected on these networks. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the fees charged by these networks for transactions you initiate via Decaf. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the processing speed of transactions you initiate via Decaf, which is determined by the performance and functionality of the Stellar Network or the Solana Network, as well as other factors. We make no representations or warranties about the operation, security, functionality, or performance of the Stellar Network or the Solana Network or any other network, or about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the transactions you initiate via Decaf. You agree and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the transactions you initiate via Decaf and that you will bear all risks associated with these transactions, including, without limitation, the risk of loss, theft, and permanent inability to access or control any digital assets sent or received as part of these transactions.
2.6. Decafpay functionality
It is pointed out that Decafpay is an off-ramp aggregator, therefore any sales contract made using the Decafpay platform, is concluded directly between you and the off-ramp provider of your choice. You, and not Decaf, are responsible for the sales you make using Decafpay. The off-ramp provider, and not Decaf, is responsible for any goods or services you may purchase from it using Decafpay, including but not limited to delivery, quality of goods, refunds, fraud, advertising, liability in connection with off-ramp products or services or failure to comply with applicable law.
Unless otherwise stated in these terms and conditions, Decaf will not intervene in any dispute between you and the off-ramp provider related to any transaction you have made through Decafpay. In the event of a dispute with an off-ramp provider or third party, we recommend contacting the other party to try to resolve the dispute. You may submit a complaint about an off-ramp provider to Decaf, and Decaf may forward your complaint to the off-ramp provider with a request that they contact you directly. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, Decaf will not make judgment on factual disputes or legal claims between you and an off-ramp provider, and has no obligation to resolve any disputes. You release Decaf from any claims, demands and damages related to disputes arising out of your use of Decafpay, including those with other users or third parties.
We do not offer guarantees on the products, services, or information provided by off-ramp providers. We are not responsible for: (a) product liability claims related to products from off-ramp providers; (b) claims suggesting that the offer or sale of products or services by off-ramp providers violates any applicable law or regulation; (c) claims related to products, services, or practices of off-ramp providers that arise under consumer protection laws or similar legislation; (d) information provided by off-ramp providers that is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, or (e) actions or omissions of third-party platforms with which you may interact or make purchases.
EXTERNAL SERVICES
3.1. External Services
Decaf may offer, or third parties may provide, links or integrations to other websites, apps, content, or resources (referred to as "External Services"). We only provide these links or integrations for your convenience and do not control, endorse, or bear responsibility for their content, availability, legitimacy, or any content, products, or services accessible from these websites, services, or resources. We do not make any guarantees or representations, express or implied, about these External Services, their owners and operators, the information they contain, or the suitability of their products or services. You agree that your use of such External Services is your sole responsibility and you bear all risks associated with this use. You also agree that your use of External Services is governed by separate terms and conditions between you and the external party.
3.2. Anchors
In addition to other External Services, we may offer you the ability to interact with entities known as "Anchors" on the Stellar Network from within Decaf. An "Anchor" is a Stellar Network participant that: (i) issues digital assets on the Stellar Network that represent the value or ownership of a real currency or other real-life asset (e.g., a dollar-pegged token or "stablecoin"); and (ii) provides eligible individuals the option to convert between a real currency or asset and its equivalent digital asset.
3.3. Services Provided by Anchors
You understand that any services provided by an Anchor, such as the ability to convert between real currency and digital assets tied to real currency, are the sole responsibility of that Anchor, and not Decaf. Your use of any Anchor services will be governed by the terms and conditions set by the Anchor. Decaf does not endorse, make representations or warranties regarding any Anchor's services and expressly disclaims responsibility for such services. You accept that there are risks associated with using an Anchor's services, including but not limited to, the risk of loss of funds, loss of access to digital assets, software bugs or errors in the Anchor’s services, inability to purchase, redeem, or convert digital assets. You agree that Decaf is not responsible for any loss or delay in accessing your digital assets due to issues with an Anchor's services. The maximum amount of real or digital currency that you can convert via an Anchor's services accessed through Decaf may be capped, and this cap may be changed at our discretion without prior notice.
3.4. Stellar/Solana Network DEX
The Stellar & Solana Network includes a built-in decentralized exchange protocol (the "DEX"). The DEX allows account holders on the Stellar & Solana Networks to store their digital asset balances as well as place orders to buy or sell assets. The DEX automatically matches orders to facilitate peer-to-peer exchanges. Although you can access the DEX via Decaf Wallet, Decaf is just a user interface for the DEX and is not affiliated with the DEX or responsible for its functionality, reliability, and security. All DEX transactions are directly between Stellar/Solana Network account holders without any intermediation required by Decaf or any other third party. Through the Decaf Wallet and associated Services, we may provide certain features to help you conduct trades using the DEX more efficiently. We may select which trading pairs to display within the Decaf Services, but there's no guarantee that we will show (or continue to show) any particular trading pair. We may require you to provide certain information before using the DEX-related Services, and we may limit the amounts, sizes, or values of DEX transactions available to you through the Services.
4.1. No Guarantees
You're using our services at your own risk. We offer our tools, applications, and all content "as is" and without any kind of promise or guarantee. We don't assure you that our services will always work perfectly or meet your specific needs. We also don't guarantee that our services comply with all laws and regulations - that's your responsibility to figure out. We're not here to provide financial, legal, investment, or tax advice. Be aware that using our services may be subject to U.S. export restrictions and sanctions.
4.2. Network Risks
You need to know that both the Stellar Network and Solana Network, which we use, are decentralized - no one, including us, controls them. Everything related to the Stellar and Solana software and networks is provided "as is", without any guarantees. We are not responsible for any failure of these networks or any loss of value or access related to digital assets.
4.3. Regulatory Issues
We don't offer securities-related services in the U.S. or to U.S. people, we're not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and we don't conduct transactions from any user’s account on the Stellar or Solana Networks. We don't provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Regulatory actions could limit or hinder the development of our services or your ability to use them.
4.4. Cryptographic Systems Risks
By using our services, you affirm that you're aware of the risks of cryptographic systems. You understand concepts like cryptographic tokens, key management, and blockchain-based software systems.
4.5. Cryptography Risks
Cryptography is a changing field. Advances in cracking codes or technologies like quantum computers could pose risks to digital assets and our services, leading to theft or loss. We plan to update our services to cope with advances in cryptography, but we can't promise total security. You accept these risks.
4.6. Risks from Third Parties
Transactions involving the DEX, Anchors, or any KRSP have inherent risks from third parties that we don't control. Just because you can transact with these parties via our services, doesn't mean we endorse them. We're not responsible for any issues arising from your use of Third-Party Services or interactions with third parties.
4.7. Volatility of Digital Assets
Cryptocurrencies and blockchain tokens on the Stellar and Solana Networks are highly volatile. Factors like adoption, speculation, technology, and security risks could lead to total loss of value. Also, transaction costs could increase at any time. You accept these risks and agree we can't be blamed for price fluctuations or increased costs.
4.8. Security of Applications
Stellar and Solana Network applications are codes and may have flaws. You need to check any code provided by our services and the reliability of any third-party websites, products, smart-contracts, or content you access or use. Malicious or negligent applications may cause loss. We're not responsible for any issues arising from your interaction with such applications.
4.9. Network Disruption Risks
In case of a Stellar or Solana Network disruption, we might not be able to support activity related to your account. Transactions might not complete, or they might be incorrect or delayed. We're not responsible for any losses you suffer from network disruptions.
INDEMNITY
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Decaf, its independent contractors, service providers, advisors, and consultants, and their respective directors, employees, and agents (altogether, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any Claims, damages, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your use of the Services; (ii) your violation of the terms of this Agreement; (iii) your violation of any rights of another; (iv) your conduct in connection with the Services; or (v) your use of the Stellar or Solana Networks, or any digital asset. Some jurisdictions limit consumer indemnities, so some or all of the indemnity provisions above may not apply to you. If you are obligated to indemnify any of the Indemnitees, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether to settle and on what terms.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL YOU SEEK TO HOLD DECAF, NOR WILL DECAF BE LIABLE FOR, ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE SERVICES, THE STELLAR OR SOLANA NETWORKS, DECAF, OR ANY DIGITAL ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES; THE SECURE STORAGE OF YOUR PRIVATE USER KEYS OR OTHER RELEVANT CREDENTIALS; ANY CHANGES TO OR INACCESSIBILITY OR TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES; ANY DELAY, FAILURE, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR ALTERATION OF ANY TRANSMISSION OR DATA; ANY TRANSACTION OR AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO THROUGH THE SERVICES; ANY ACTIVITIES OR COMMUNICATIONS OF THIRD PARTIES; ANY LOSS OF VALUE FOR ANY DIGITAL ASSET; OR ANY DATA OR MATERIAL FROM A THIRD PERSON ACCESSED ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT DECAF HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SUCH LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY WHETHER THE DAMAGES ARISE FROM USE OR MISUSE OF AND RELIANCE ON DECAF OR THE SERVICES, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WILL BE FOR YOU TO DISCONTINUE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
