- AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES
Subject to these Terms, TERA shall use reasonable efforts to make available, operate and maintain the TERA Services during the term of these Terms and to permit you to access and use the TERA Services in accordance with these Terms. TERA shall use all reasonable efforts to promptly notify you of any difficulties experienced by us or other participants with respect to their access to or the use of the TERA Services, but only to the extent that TERA is aware of such difficulties and reasonably determines that they are material to your access and use of the TERA Services. Similarly, you shall notify TERA the soonest possible in case you become aware of any material technical failures of or difficulties with the TERA Services or upon becoming aware of any material breach (or any event which, by giving notice and/or the lapse of time, would constitute a material breach) of these Terms. Our Services may evolve over time. This means we may apply changes, replace, or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) our Services at any time for any reasonable cause with two days’ notice or without notice in case of a Force Majeure. In this case, you may be prevented from accessing or using our Services. If, in our sole discretion, we decide to permanently discontinue our Services, we will provide you with a notice via our website, via our Twitter account or any other means of communication we deem appropriate. You accept and acknowledge that the TERA Services may not be accessible in every country of your residence, in particular because of regulatory requirements.
- FORCE MAJEURE
A Force Majeure Event includes without limitation each of the following: a) Government actions, the outbreak of war or hostilities, the threat of war, acts of terrorism, national emergency, riot, civil disturbance, sabotage, requisition, or any other international calamity, economic or political crisis; b) Act of God, earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, typhoon, accident, storm, flood, fire, epidemic or other natural disaster; c) Labour disputes and lock-out; d) Breakdown, failure or malfunction of any electronic, network and communication lines or systems (not due to the fault of TERA); e) Any event, act or circumstances not reasonably within TERA’s control and the effect of that event(s) is such that TERA is not in a position to take any reasonable action to cure the default.
- RISKS
You understand and accept the risks in connection with the use of the TERA Wallet app and using the Services as set forth above and hereinafter. In particular, but not limited to, you understand the inherent risks listed hereinafter: a) Risk of software weaknesses: You understand and accept that the underlying software application and software platform is still in an early development stage and unproven, why there is no warranty that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free and why there is an inherent risk that the software could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs causing, inter alia, the complete loss of TERA. b) Regulatory risk: You understand and accept that blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction and that it is possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or introduce new regulations addressing, blockchain technology based applications, which may be contrary to the current setup of TERA and which may, inter alia, result in substantial modifications of the TERA Services, including its termination. c) Risk of loss of private key or passphrase(s): TERA Wallet can only be accessed by using a TERA Wallet passphrase with the possibility of using a second passphrase. You understand and accept that if your private key, passphrase or second passphrase respectively got lost or stolen, the TERA within your TERA Wallet will be unrecoverable and will be permanently lost. d) Risk of voting attacks: You understand and accept that the blockchain used for by TERA is susceptible to voting attacks, including but not limited to majority voting power attacks, “selfish-voting” attacks, and race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the TERA Services. e) Risk of delegate attacks: You understand and accept that the blockchain used for by TERA is susceptible to delegate attacks, including but not limited to double-spending attacks, majority delegate attacks, and race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the TERA Services.
- PUBLIC AND PRIVATE KEY, PASSPHRASES
When you create a TERA Wallet, the Services generate a digital private and public key pair and a passphrase. The Services never store either private key or passphrase. The public key generated by the Services is being used to generate a TERA Wallet address, and may be shared with the network and with others to complete transactions. The private key is associated to a TERA Wallet address and must be used in conjunction with the TERA Wallet address to authorize transactions from or to that TERA address. You need to make sure that your passphrase(s) are properly backed up and protected from theft.
- DATA PROTECTION
The information provided pursuant to these Terms will be used by TERA for the purposes of providing you with services and data pursuant to these Terms and enabling TERA to perform its activities. You acknowledge and agree that TERA may disclose your data, including personal data and sensitive personal data as defined under the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (“Participant Data”) to outside organisations for the purpose of providing services and data to you, and performing its activities. You explicitly consent to the export of your data to a location outside your country of domicile and to third parties outside of TERA.
- PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
