These Terms govern your use of the wallet software, our website, and all related services ("Services") provided by [Your Company Name] ("we," "us," or "our"). If you do not agree with any of these Terms, we ask that you do not use our Services. Please read these Terms carefully before using the wallet, as they outline your rights, obligations, and responsibilities when interacting with our platform.

Helium Wallet is designed to be a secure, non-custodial, open-source wallet, focused on providing a simple and transparent way to manage your HNT and Data Credits. The wallet works in a decentralized manner, ensuring that you have full control over your assets without relying on third-party services or centralized servers.

2. Eligibility

To use Helium Wallet, you must be at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By using the wallet, you confirm that you meet these age requirements. If you are under the required legal age, you are prohibited from accessing or using the wallet. Additionally, by agreeing to these Terms, you confirm that you are capable of entering into a legally binding agreement and that your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws and regulations of your jurisdiction.

Helium Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, meaning that it does not store your private keys, seed phrases, or any sensitive information on our servers. All cryptographic keys and data are stored securely on your device, ensuring that only you have access to them. As such, we do not have access to your funds or any personal data related to your transactions. This provides you with complete control over your cryptocurrency, but it also means that you are fully responsible for keeping your keys and backup information safe.

It is essential to maintain the confidentiality of your private keys and seed phrases. We recommend that you back up your seed phrase in a secure, offline location and do not share it with anyone. If you lose your seed phrase, you will lose access to your wallet and funds permanently, as there are no recovery mechanisms available. We will not be able to assist in recovering your wallet, as we do not store any information on our servers.

In the case of unauthorized access to your wallet or device, you must take immediate action to secure your assets. We advise you to take appropriate precautions, such as using strong passwords, enabling device encryption, and keeping your backup keys safe from unauthorized parties.

4. Wallet Usage

Helium Wallet allows you to manage your HNT and Data Credits in a straightforward and efficient manner. The wallet is designed to operate locally on your device, ensuring that you have complete control over your funds and minimizing the risks associated with centralized services. When using the wallet, you are responsible for ensuring that all transactions are properly initiated and authorized by you. All transactions are recorded on the Helium blockchain, and Helium Wallet provides a simple interface to interact with this blockchain.

Because Helium Wallet is a software-only wallet, it does not rely on any external servers or synchronization services. This means that once you download and install the wallet, you can use it immediately without any delays for syncing or account creation. All of your data, including your private keys and transaction history, remain securely stored on your device. The wallet is designed for simplicity, and we do not include any unnecessary features that could complicate your experience.

Although Helium Wallet is an easy-to-use tool, you should be aware that you are fully responsible for any transactions you initiate. This includes ensuring that you are sending funds to the correct addresses, properly managing your wallet, and securing your backup information. In case of any loss of funds or data, Helium Wallet will not be held liable, as it is your responsibility to back up and protect your information.

5. Privacy and Data Collection

At Helium Wallet, we are committed to safeguarding your privacy. We do not collect, store, or share any personal information. We do not track your activities, and no data related to your wallet or transactions is transmitted to our servers or any third-party entities. Your private keys, transaction history, and other sensitive data are stored locally on your device, and we do not have access to any of this information.

This non-custodial approach ensures that you have complete control over your assets and privacy. However, it also means that if you lose access to your device or forget your seed phrase, there is no way to recover your wallet. We do not store any information that could be used to restore your wallet, so it is vital to keep your backup information secure.

In summary, we respect your privacy and believe that you should have complete control over your personal information and assets. We do not engage in any form of data collection, tracking, or sharing. However, you are responsible for safeguarding your information, including backing up your private keys and seed phrase.

6. Fees

Helium Wallet does not charge any fees for using the wallet or sending transactions. However, when you send transactions on the Helium blockchain, you may be subject to network fees, which are paid to miners or validators on the blockchain. These fees are determined by the network and fluctuate depending on the current state of the blockchain. We do not control or impose these fees, and they are entirely dependent on the blockchain's network activity.

You should always ensure that you have enough funds to cover these network fees when sending transactions. The wallet will show an estimate of the fee before you confirm the transaction, so you will know the exact cost of the transaction before it is initiated. However, any fees associated with using the network are your responsibility, and Helium Wallet will not be held liable for any issues related to network fees or transactions.

7. Intellectual Property

Helium Wallet and all its components, including the software, design, logos, and trademarks, are the intellectual property of [Your Company Name]. By using the wallet, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the software for personal, non-commercial purposes. You are not permitted to copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer the wallet or any part of its code.

We retain all rights, title, and interest in the software and any related content. Any use of the wallet outside of its intended purpose is strictly prohibited. You may not sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer your rights to use the software to any third party.

8. Limitations of Liability

Helium Wallet is provided "as is" without any warranties or guarantees. We do not guarantee that the wallet will function without errors, interruptions, or bugs. While we strive to ensure the security and stability of the software, we cannot guarantee that the wallet will always be available or free of issues.

By using Helium Wallet, you acknowledge that you use the wallet at your own risk. We are not liable for any loss of funds, damage to your device, data corruption, or failure of the wallet to perform as expected. Additionally, we do not assume any liability for any losses resulting from your use of the wallet, including sending funds to incorrect addresses or losing access to your wallet due to forgotten credentials or lost private keys.

We are not responsible for any issues that arise from external services, including the Helium blockchain or third-party networks. Any issues with the network or blockchain are beyond our control, and we do not guarantee the successful execution of transactions or other interactions with these networks.

9. Disclaimers

Helium Wallet does not provide financial, legal, or investment advice. The wallet is designed to help you manage your HNT and Data Credits, but we do not offer guidance on the value or future prospects of these assets. Cryptocurrencies, including HNT, are inherently volatile, and their value can fluctuate significantly. You should perform your own research and consult with professionals before making any investment decisions.

While we strive to maintain the functionality and security of the wallet, we cannot be held responsible for the performance of the blockchain or the broader cryptocurrency market. Any investment or financial decision made based on your use of the wallet is done at your own risk.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to Helium Wallet at our discretion, without notice, if we believe you have violated any of these Terms. Upon termination, you will no longer be able to access your wallet or perform any transactions. Any funds left in your wallet may be lost if you do not have access to your backup credentials.

You may terminate your use of the wallet at any time by simply stopping its use and uninstalling the software. However, you will remain responsible for securing your private keys and seed phrase to avoid losing access to your funds.

11. Governing Law

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Your Jurisdiction]. Any legal action or dispute related to these Terms shall be brought exclusively before the courts of [Your Jurisdiction], and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of these courts.

12. Modifications to the Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in our services, policies, or legal requirements. Whenever changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically to stay informed about any modifications. By continuing to use the wallet after any changes to these Terms, you agree to be bound by the updated Terms.
