The GreenAddress Services enable you to create one or more multi-signature, hierarchical deterministic (HD), non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets for certain supported digital assets (“Wallet”) and to use the Wallet to store, send, request and receive supported digital assets.

Our Services are intended for use by persons who are very knowledgeable about cryptocurrency generally and HD non-custodial wallets in particular. If you use our Services, you represent that you qualify as such a person. You acknowledge and agree that you have carefully read and understood our FAQ.

Our Services, including any Wallet, are for use with Bitcoin (BTC) only and any other digital assets we may explicitly decide to support in the future at our discretion (“Digital Assets”). We have no obligation to support any digital assets (including but not limited to any forkcoins, altcoins, airdrops or any other digital assets however named) other than Bitcoin or any other digital asset we may explicitly decide to support in the future at our discretion. We assume no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use your Wallet for digital assets that we do not support. Keys or signatures held or produced by us belong to us and we reserve all rights to and associated with them.

Our Services provide a number of ways for you to secure your Wallet and help ensure you, and only you, are able to access and transact through your Wallet. These features include mnemonics, personal identification numbers (PINs), two-factor authentication, 2of2 and 2of3 signing, among other features.
We do not store or have access to your mnemonics, PINs or private keys.

It is your responsibility to carefully guard your mnemonics, PINs, two-factor authentication means, and any other means we may provide for you to secure and access your Wallet. If you forget or lose your means of authentication GreenAddress has no way to recover them for you and you may permanently lose access to any Digital Assets you have stored in your Wallet.

If you use our Services to create a Wallet, the software will use an algorithm to generate a random 24-word phrase as a seed to a BIP32 hierarchical wallet. This 24-word phrase is called a mnemonic and if reproduced exactly stores all the information needed to recover your Wallet if access through a PIN, two-factor authentication or other authentication means is lost or otherwise not available. For 2of2 non CSV wallets enabling and retaining recovery nlocktime zip files is also necessary for recovery purposes.

GreenAddress does not store, have access to, or have any way or means of recovering your mnemonic.

It is your responsibility to keep your mnemonic secure. You should not provide it to anyone, including any GreenAddress representative.

If you permanently forget or lose your mnemonic, you will NEVER be able to recover any cryptocurrency in your Wallet, and you will suffer a complete, irrecoverable and catastrophic loss of all Digital Assets in your Wallet.

It is your responsibility to safeguard and retain your mnemonic. GreenAddress has no responsibility and will not be liable for any loss or damage you suffer from the loss or misappropriation of your mnemonic.

We may provide a recovery feature to help protect you from loss of access to Digital Assets in a 2of2 signature Wallet should our Services become unavailable. Any such feature will not be available to you if you have not secured your mnemonic as described above.

The recovery feature sets a default waiting period before you may transfer Digital Assets in your Wallet. You may change this default to a different period in your Wallet settings.

During the recovery waiting period, if the Services are unavailable or if you have lost all enabled two-factor authentication means, you will not be able to transact in or transfer any Digital Assets in your Wallet. As a result, during this period your Digital Assets in your Wallet will not be liquid, and you will not be able to take advantage of increases in the market price of Digital Assets or protect yourself from decreases in market prices.

If you lose access to all two-factor authentication methods but still have your mnemonic, the Services may provide a two-factor reset from within your Wallet, which should enable access after a grace period of at least one year.

During the grace period your Wallet will be read only, and you will not be able to transact in or transfer any Digital Assets in your Wallet. As a result, during this period you will be exposed to the same risks set out above under the heading “Recovery Feature and Risks”.

The grace period will be extended for any unexpired recovery period as of the date you start the two-factor authentication reset and for any period in which the reset process is disputed.

A reset process may be disputed within your Wallet. In the event of a dispute the reset process will be halted. Any determination by GreenAddress concerning the dispute process will be final and binding on you, including a determination that the Wallet will be permanently inaccessible so long as it is disputed.

However, if you are an individual not engaged in conduct related to your trade, business or profession, and you are resident outside England and Wales, you may also petition the courts of the jurisdiction in which you reside ("Home Jurisdiction") and the law governing this Agreement may include any such consumer laws of your Home Jurisdiction that provide greater consumer protection than is available under English law.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and will take place in the county or parish in which you reside, or another mutually agreeable location, in the English language. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including attorneys' fees when authorized by law, and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. At your request, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, without oral hearings. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement will be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees.

If the arbitrator(s) or arbitration administrator would impose filing fees or other administrative costs on you, we will reimburse you, upon request, to the extent such fees or costs would exceed those that you would otherwise have to pay if you were proceeding instead in a court. We will also pay additional fees or costs if required to do so by the arbitration administrator's rules or applicable law. Apart from the foregoing, each of us will be responsible for our own fees or costs, such as attorney fees that we each may incur. If a court decides that any provision of this section is invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the other parts of this section will still apply. In any case, the remainder of the terms of this agreement will continue to apply.

You acknowledge that we may collect, use, store and process personal data in relation to you (if you are an individual), and personal data that you have provided or in the future provide to us in relation to your employees and other associated or other individuals, in connection with this Agreement, or the Services.
