The ICE research center of the Bern University of Applied Sciences -in Switzerland (“we,” “our,” or “us”) provides an experimental payment service -through our Internet presence (collectively the “Services”). Before using our -Services, please read the Terms of Service (the “Terms” or the “Agreement”) -carefully. - -This is research ----------------- - -This is a research experiment. Any funds wired to our Bitcoin address are -considered a donation to our research group. We may use them to enable -payments following the GNU Taler protocol, or simply keep them at our -discretion. The service is experimental and may also be discontinued at -any time, in which case all remaining funds will definitively be kept by -the research group. - - -Overview --------- - -This section provides a brief summary of the highlights of this -Agreement. Please note that when you accept this Agreement, you are accepting -all of the terms and conditions and not just this section. We and possibly -other third parties provide Internet services which interact with the Taler -Wallet’s self-hosted personal payment application. When using the Taler Wallet -to interact with our Services, you are agreeing to our Terms, so please read -carefully. - -Highlights: -~~~~~~~~~~~ - - • You are responsible for keeping the data in your Taler Wallet at all times - under your control. Any losses arising from you not being in control of - your private information are your problem. - • We may transfer funds we receive from our users to any legal - recipient to the best of our ability within the limitations of the law and - our implementation. However, the Services offered today are highly - experimental and the set of recipients of funds is severely restricted. - Again, we stress this is a research experiment and technically all funds - held by the exchange are owned by the research group of the university. - • For our Services, we may charge transaction fees. The specific fee structure - is provided based on the Taler protocol and should be shown to you when you - withdraw electronic coins using a Taler Wallet. You agree and understand - that the Taler protocol allows for the fee structure to change. - • You agree to not intentionally overwhelm our systems with requests and - follow responsible disclosure if you find security issues in our services. - • We cannot be held accountable for our Services not being available due to - any circumstances. If we modify or terminate our services, - we may give you the opportunity to recover your funds. However, - given the experimental state of the Services today, this may not be - possible. You are strongly advised to limit your use of the Service - to small-scale experiments expecting total loss of all funds. - -These terms outline approved uses of our Services. The Services and these -Terms are still at an experimental stage. If you have any questions or -comments related to this Agreement, please send us a message to -ice@bfh.ch. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you must not -use our Services. - -How you accept this policy --------------------------- - -By sending funds to us (to top-up your Taler Wallet), you acknowledge that you -have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. We reserve the right to -change these Terms at any time. If you disagree with the change, we may in the -future offer you with an easy option to recover your unspent funds. However, -in the current experimental period you acknowledge that this feature is not -yet available, resulting in your funds being lost unless you accept the new -Terms. If you continue to use our Services other than to recover your unspent -funds, your continued use of our Services following any such change will -signify your acceptance to be bound by the then current Terms. Please check -the effective date above to determine if there have been any changes since you -have last reviewed these Terms. - -Services --------- - -We will try to transfer funds that we receive from users to any legal -recipient to the best of our ability and within the limitations of the -law. However, the Services offered today are highly experimental and the set -of recipients of funds is severely restricted. The Taler Wallet can be loaded -by exchanging fiat or cryptocurrencies against electronic coins. We are -providing this exchange service. Once your Taler Wallet is loaded with -electronic coins they can be spent for purchases if the seller is accepting -Taler as a means of payment. We are not guaranteeing that any seller is -accepting Taler at all or a particular seller. The seller or recipient of -deposits of electronic coins must specify the target account, as per the -design of the Taler protocol. They are responsible for following the protocol -and specifying the correct bank account, and are solely liable for any losses -that may arise from specifying the wrong account. We may allow the government -to link wire transfers to the underlying contract hash. It is the -responsibility of recipients to preserve the full contracts and to pay -whatever taxes and charges may be applicable. Technical issues may lead to -situations where we are unable to make transfers at all or lead to incorrect -transfers that cannot be reversed. We may refuse to execute transfers if the -transfers are prohibited by a competent legal authority and we are ordered to -do so. - -When using our Services, you agree to not take any action that intentionally -imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure. If you find security -problems in our Services, you agree to first report them to -security@taler-systems.com and grant us the right to publish your report. We -warrant that we will ourselves publicly disclose any issues reported within 3 -months, and that we will not prosecute anyone reporting security issues if -they did not exploit the issue beyond a proof-of-concept, and followed the -above responsible disclosure practice. - - -Fees ----- - -You agree to pay the fees for exchanges and withdrawals completed via the -Taler Wallet ("Fees") as defined by us, which we may change from time to -time. With the exception of wire transfer fees, Taler transaction fees are set -for any electronic coin at the time of withdrawal and fixed throughout the -validity period of the respective electronic coin. Your wallet should obtain -and display applicable fees when withdrawing funds. Fees for coins obtained as -change may differ from the fees applicable to the original coin. Wire transfer -fees that are independent from electronic coins may change annually. You -authorize us to charge or deduct applicable fees owed in connection with -deposits, exchanges and withdrawals following the rules of the Taler protocol. -We reserve the right to provide different types of rewards to users either in -the form of discount for our Services or in any other form at our discretion -and without prior notice to you. - -Eligibility and Financial self-responsibility ---------------------------------------------- - -To be eligible to use our Services, you must be able to form legally binding -contracts or have the permission of your legal guardian. By using our -Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements -that we outline in these Terms. - -You will be responsible for maintaining the availability, integrity and -confidentiality of the data stored in your wallet. When you setup a Taler -Wallet, you are strongly advised to follow the precautionary measures offered -by the software to minimize the chances to losse access to or control over -your Wallet data. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from -your failure to comply with this paragraph. - -Copyrights and trademarks -------------------------- - -The Taler Wallet is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License -(GNU GPL). You have the right to access, use, and share the Taler Wallet, in -modified or unmodified form.

We will use the Taler protocol’s provisions to -notify Wallets if our Services are to be discontinued. It is your -responsibility to ensure that the Taler Wallet is online at least once every -three months to observe these notifications. We shall not be held responsible -or liable for any loss of funds in the event that we discontinue or depreciate -the Services and your Taler Wallet fails to transfer out the coins within a -three months notification period. - -We shall not be held liable for any delays, failure in performance, or -interruptions of service which result directly or indirectly from any cause or -condition beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: any -delay or failure due to any act of God, act of civil or military authorities, -act of terrorism, civil disturbance, war, strike or other labor dispute, fire, -interruption in telecommunications or Internet services or network provider -services, failure of equipment and/or software, other catastrophe, or any -other occurrence which is beyond our reasonable control and shall not affect -the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. - - -Governing law, Waivers, Severability and Assignment ---------------------------------------------------- - -No matter where you’re located, the laws of Switzerland will govern these -Terms.

Taler Systems SA (“we,” “our,” or “us”) provides a payment service -through our Internet presence (collectively the “Services”). Before using our -Services, please read the Terms of Service (the “Terms” or the “Agreement”) -carefully. - -Overview --------- - -This section provides a brief summary of the highlights of this -Agreement. Please note that when you accept this Agreement, you are accepting -all of the terms and conditions and not just this section. We and possibly -other third parties provide Internet services which interact with the Taler -Wallet’s self-hosted personal payment application. When using the Taler Wallet -to interact with our Services, you are agreeing to our Terms, so please read -carefully. - -Highlights: -~~~~~~~~~~~ - - • You are responsible for keeping the data in your Taler Wallet at all times - under your control. Any losses arising from you not being in control of - your private information are your problem. - • We will try to transfer funds we hold in escrow for our users to any legal - recipient to the best of our ability within the limitations of the law and - our implementation. However, the Services offered today are highly - experimental and the set of recipients of funds is severely restricted. - • For our Services, we may charge transaction fees. The specific fee structure - is provided based on the Taler protocol and should be shown to you when you - withdraw electronic coins using a Taler Wallet. You agree and understand - that the Taler protocol allows for the fee structure to change. - • You agree to not intentionally overwhelm our systems with requests and - follow responsible disclosure if you find security issues in our services. - • We cannot be held accountable for our Services not being available due to - circumstances beyond our control. If we modify or terminate our services, - we will try to give you the opportunity to recover your funds. However, - given the experimental state of the Services today, this may not be - possible. You are strongly advised to limit your use of the Service - to small-scale experiments expecting total loss of all funds. - -These terms outline approved uses of our Services. The Services and these -Terms are still at an experimental stage. If you have any questions or -comments related to this Agreement, please send us a message to -legal@taler-systems.com. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you must not -use our Services. - -How you accept this policy --------------------------- - -By sending funds to us (to top-up your Taler Wallet), you acknowledge that you -have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. We reserve the right to -change these Terms at any time. If you disagree with the change, we may in the -future offer you with an easy option to recover your unspent funds. However, -in the current experimental period you acknowledge that this feature is not -yet available, resulting in your funds being lost unless you accept the new -Terms. If you continue to use our Services other than to recover your unspent -funds, your continued use of our Services following any such change will -signify your acceptance to be bound by the then current Terms. Please check -the effective date above to determine if there have been any changes since you -have last reviewed these Terms. - -Services --------- - -We will try to transfer funds that we hold in escrow for our users to any -legal recipient to the best of our ability and within the limitations of the -law and our implementation. However, the Services offered today are highly -experimental and the set of recipients of funds is severely restricted. The -Taler Wallet can be loaded by exchanging fiat currencies against electronic -coins. We are providing this exchange service. Once your Taler Wallet is -loaded with electronic coins they can be spent for purchases if the seller is -accepting Taler as a means of payment. We are not guaranteeing that any seller -is accepting Taler at all or a particular seller. The seller or recipient of -deposits of electronic coins must specify the target account, as per the -design of the Taler protocol. They are responsible for following the protocol -and specifying the correct bank account, and are solely liable for any losses -that may arise from specifying the wrong account. We will allow the government -to link wire transfers to the underlying contract hash. It is the -responsibility of recipients to preserve the full contracts and to pay -whatever taxes and charges may be applicable. Technical issues may lead to -situations where we are unable to make transfers at all or lead to incorrect -transfers that cannot be reversed. We will only refuse to execute transfers if -the transfers are prohibited by a competent legal authority and we are ordered -to do so. - -When using our Services, you agree to not take any action that intentionally -imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure. If you find security -problems in our Services, you agree to first report them to -security@taler-systems.com and grant us the right to publish your report.
