Terms Of Service

-

Last Updated: 09.06.2022

-

Welcome! The ICE research center of the Bern University of Applied Sciences -in Switzerland (“we,” “our,” or “us”) provides an experimental 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.

-
-

This is research

-

This is a research experiment. Any funds wired to our Bitcoin address are -considered a donation to our research group. We may use them to enable -payments following the GNU Taler protocol, or simply keep them at our -discretion. The service is experimental and may also be discontinued at -any time, in which case all remaining funds will definitively be kept by -the research group.

-
-
-

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 -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.

-
-

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 may transfer funds we receive from 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. -Again, we stress this is a research experiment and technically all funds -held by the exchange are owned by the research group of the university.

    • -

  • 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 -any circumstances. If we modify or terminate our services, -we may 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 -ice@bfh.ch. 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 receive from users to any legal -recipient to the best of our ability and within the limitations of the -law. 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 or cryptocurrencies 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 may 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 may refuse to execute transfers if the -transfers are prohibited by a competent legal authority and we are ordered to -do so.

-

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.

-
-
-

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 and Financial self-responsibility

-

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.

-

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.

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 +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.

+
+

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.

+

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.

+
+
+

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 and Financial self-responsibility

+

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.

+

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.

+
+
+

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 GPL’s full terms and conditions at +https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html. “Taler” itself is a trademark +of Taler Systems SA.

+

+

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will we or any +of our officers, directors, representatives, agents, servants, 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:

+
    +

  1. 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:

    2. +
+
+
    +

  1. your use of, or conduct in connection with, our services;

    2. +

  2. any unauthorized use of your wallet and/or private key due to your +failure to maintain the confidentiality of your wallet;

    3. +

  3. any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the services; or

+
+
    +

  1. any direct damages.

    2. +
+

+

To the +maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all representations and +warranties, express or implied, relating to the services and underlying +software or any content on the services, whether provided or owned by us or by +any third party, including 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, +course of performance, or usage in trade, all of which are expressly +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.

+
+
+

Indemnity and Time limitation on claims and Termination

+

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.

+ 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 + 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. +
+ 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. + 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. +
+
+ 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 and Financial self-responsibility + 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. + 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. +
+

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. + 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. +
