Terms of Service
Updated 2025-08-20
1) Acceptance
By creating an account or using HODLswitch (“Service”), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2) What HODLswitch is
HODLswitch is a non-custodial notification tool. You write private instructions and define check-ins and recipients. If you become inactive and (optionally) a trusted contact confirms, we deliver your instructions to your chosen recipients. We never hold or move funds. We never request or store seed phrases or private keys.
The Service may include an AI-assisted message builder that suggests wording; you always review and approve before sending.
3) Eligibility & Accounts
You must be at least 16 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction) and legally able to agree to these Terms. You are responsible for your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
4) Your Content & Responsibilities
- You are solely responsible for the instructions you create and the consequences of following them.
- Do not include secrets (passwords, seed phrases, private keys).
- Ensure contact details for recipients/trusted contacts are accurate.
- Comply with applicable law and these Terms.
5) Prohibited Use
Do not use the Service to: (a) store or transmit passwords/seed phrases/private keys, (b) harass or spam contacts, (c) violate law, IP, or privacy, or (d) attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer the Service.
6) Plans, Fees, Taxes
A free plan may be available. Paid plans (if any) and prices are shown at checkout or in billing settings. Fees are non-refundable unless required by law. You authorize charges to your payment method and are responsible for taxes.
7) Deliverability & Third Parties
We use email and other providers to send notifications. Deliverability depends on recipient settings and third-party availability. We do not guarantee delivery or outcome.
8) Security
We protect data with industry-standard measures (encryption in transit and at rest; access controls). No method is 100% secure.
9) Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect and how we process it. By using the Service, you consent to that processing.
10) Intellectual Property
The Service, brand, software, and content are owned by HODLswitch or its licensors. You receive a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service as permitted by these Terms.
11) Feedback
If you give feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or compensation.
12) Termination
You may stop using the Service or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate the Service or your access for breach, abuse, or risk to others. Upon termination, your license ends and certain clauses survive (e.g., liability, indemnity).
13) Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice.
14) Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, HODLswitch and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or cryptocurrency value. Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the amounts you paid to us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim (or USD/EUR 100 if you use the free plan).
15) Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold HODLswitch harmless from claims arising out of your content, your misuse of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.
16) Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [insert jurisdiction], excluding conflict-of-laws rules. Courts located in [insert venue] have exclusive jurisdiction (replace with your arbitration clause if preferred).
17) Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified by email or in-app. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
