10. THE KLUKT SERVICES

10.1. The Services, among other things, provide in-browser (or otherwise local) software that (a) generates and stores Bitcoin Wallet Addresses from Extended Public Keys, and (b) Facilitates the submission of Bitcoin transaction data to the Bitcoin network
10.2. The Extended Public Key only allows us to create bitcoin addresses to receive funds. We will never require you to provide any of your private keys. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Private Key and any backup phrase associated with your wallet. You must keep your Wallet Address, backup phrase and Private Key access information secure. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of bitcoins associated with the Wallet.
10.3. No Password Retrieval. Klukt does not receive or store your Wallet password, nor the unencrypted keys and addresses. Therefore, we cannot assist you with Wallet password retrieval. You are solely responsible for remembering your Wallet password. If you have not safely stored a backup of any Wallet Addresses and Private Key pairs maintained in your Wallet, you accept and acknowledge that any bitcoins you have associated with such Wallet Addresses will become inaccessible if you do not have your Wallet password.
10.4. Transactions. In order to be completed, all proposed Bitcoin transactions must be confirmed and recorded in the Bitcoin public ledger via the Bitcoin distributed consensus network (a peer-to-peer payment network that operates on a cryptographic protocol), which is not owned, controlled or operated by Klukt. The Bitcoin Network is operated by a decentralized network of independent third parties. Klukt has no control over the Bitcoin network and therefore cannot and does not ensure that any transaction details you submit via the Services will be confirmed via the Bitcoin network. You acknowledge and agree that the transaction details you submit via the Services may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the Bitcoin network. You may use the Services to submit these details to the network.
10.5. No Storage or Transmission of Bitcoins. Bitcoins are an intangible, digital asset. They exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the Bitcoin network. The Services do not store, send or receive bitcoins. Any transfer of title that might occur in any bitcoins occurs on the decentralized ledger within the Bitcoin network and not within the Services. We do not guarantee that the Service can effect the transfer of title or right in any bitcoins.
10.6. Relationship. Nothing in these Terms is intended to nor shall create any partnership, joint venture, agency, consultancy or trusteeship, you and Klukt being with respect to one another independent contractors.
10.7. Accuracy of Information. You represent and warrant that any information you provide via the Services is accurate and complete. You accept and acknowledge that Klukt is not responsible for any errors or omissions that you make in connection with any Bitcoin transaction initiated via the Services, for instance, if you mistype a Extended Public Key or otherwise provide incorrect information. We strongly encourage you to review your details carefully before completing them via the Services.
10.8. No Cancellations or Modifications. Once transaction details have been submitted to the Bitcoin network via the Services, The Services cannot assist you to cancel or otherwise modify your transaction details. Klukt has no control over the Bitcoin Network and does not have the ability to facilitate any cancellation or modification requests.
10.9. Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the transactions you for which you have submitted transaction details via the Services, and it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. You agree that Klukt is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your Bitcoin transactions or for collecting, reporting, withholding or remitting any taxes arising from any Bitcoin transactions.

11. FEES FOR USING THE KLUKT SERVICES

11.1. Company Fees Creating a Bitcoin Widget is free. Klukt does not currently charge fees for any Services, however we reserve the right to do so in future, and in such case any applicable fees will be displayed prior to you using any Service to which a fee applies.

12. MINERS FEES

12.1. Overview of Bitcoin Mining. The Bitcoin network (described above) is operated by a network of computers that have installed certain Bitcoin network software. The individuals who operate those computers, called “miners,” voluntarily participate in the Bitcoin network confirmation process. Bitcoin miners compile a list of pending Bitcoin transactions, called “blocks,” verify that each transaction in the block is valid and does not involve an attempt to re-spend bitcoins, and complete a mathematical algorithm to confirm that a given block should be added to the public ledger of confirmed blocks, called the “blockchain.” Miners receive: (i) An amount of Bitcoins as a reward, which are generated automatically via the Bitcoin network; and (ii) Any fees voluntarily included within the block by the individuals who initiated the proposed transactions (“Miners Fees”). Since miners verify Bitcoin transactions on a voluntary basis, it is customary to include a Miners Fee in order to provide an incentive to the miners to add a proposed transaction to the next block for confirmation via the Bitcoin network.

13. DEFAULT MINERS FEE

13.1. You may modify your default Miners Fee settings by accessing the ‘account settings’ feature of your Wallet. You accept and acknowledge that Klukt does not receive any Miners Fees in connection with providing the Services, and is not responsible for the speed at which your transactions may be verified by miners.

14. NO RIGHT TO CANCEL KLUKT SERVICES OR MINERS FEES

14.1. If you use a Service to which a charge applies, or you initiate a transaction with a Miners Fee via the Services, you will not be able to change your mind once you have confirmed that you wish to proceed with the Service or transaction.

15. DISCONTINUANCE OF SERVICES

15.1. We may, in our sole discretion and without cost to you, with or without prior notice and at any time, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any portion of our Services. You are solely responsible for storing, outside of the Services, a backup of any Wallet Address and Private Key pair that you maintain in your Wallet.
15.2. If you do not maintain a backup of your Wallet.

16. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF SERVICES

In the event of termination, your access to funds will depend on your access to your backup of your Wallet data including your wallet Address and Private Key.
