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.

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.
