Terms of Service

By accessing the HeliumDesktop website (the "Site"), downloading software, reading documentation, or utilizing related resources provided herein, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site, download the software, or rely on any information provided by this project.

HeliumDesktop is an independent, community-driven desktop wallet project designed to interact with Helium ecosystem assets on the Solana blockchain.

The Site may provide access to compiled software downloads, release notes, cryptographic verification instructions, technical documentation, and ecosystem information.

All information is provided for general informational purposes. You are solely responsible for how you interpret and utilize this information, and for determining the suitability of the software for your specific hardware and operational environment.

Nothing presented on this Site or within the documentation constitutes financial, legal, investment, or technical advice.

The provision of software downloads or technical guides should not be treated as a guarantee of software safety, flawlessness, or suitability for securing valuable cryptographic assets. The blockchain landscape is inherently experimental and carries significant technical risks.

When downloading compiled software binaries from this Site or associated repositories, you accept full responsibility for verifying the integrity and authenticity of the files.

• You are solely responsible for verifying SHA256 checksums, Minisign signatures, and public keys against the official published records before executing any installer.
• You are responsible for the safe generation, offline storage, and physical security of your cryptographic seed phrases, passwords, Ledger devices, and private keys.
• Failure to follow standard security practices, resulting in malware execution, loss of funds, or compromised systems, is entirely your responsibility.

HeliumDesktop is a non-custodial, local-first client. We do not operate a centralized backend that holds user funds.

This Site and its contributors do not custody your funds. We do not collect, store, transmit, or have the ability to recover your seed phrases, private keys, wallet balances, or on-chain assets. There is no traditional "user account" relationship established by using this Site or the software.

The software's behavior relies on external wallet standards, the Solana blockchain infrastructure, Ledger hardware support, and underlying operating systems.

Compatibility with these external systems may change over time without warning due to network upgrades, hardware firmware updates, or OS deprecations. Some functions described in the documentation may vary based on your specific build, operating system, or local environment.

This Site may contain links to external platforms, including but not limited to GitHub repositories, Solana network explorers, official Helium documentation, package managers, or third-party tutorials.

We do not control these third-party resources and are not responsible for their content, privacy policies, uptime, or security practices. Accessing external links is done at your own risk.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site, software downloads, documentation, or release files at any time without prior notice.

Specific software releases may be archived, replaced, or withdrawn if bugs or security vulnerabilities are discovered. These Terms may also be updated periodically; continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

When interacting with this Site and its resources, you agree not to:

• Misuse the website infrastructure through automated scraping, denial-of-service attacks, or other abusive behaviors.
• Impersonate the project maintainers, the Helium Foundation, or Nova Labs.
• Redistribute modified, malicious versions of the software under misleading branding or while claiming it is the official release.

The Site, software downloads, and documentation are provided strictly on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the project maintainers and contributors disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted security or operation.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the project, its maintainers, or contributors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages.

This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, data loss, wallet loss, transaction loss, hardware failure, downtime, compatibility issues, or other intangible losses arising out of or in connection with your use or inability to use the Site, the software, or the documentation.

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction Placeholder], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within [Jurisdiction Placeholder].
