/terms/ |
Please read these terms of service ("Terms") carefully as they form a contract between you and Peermit.com. ("Peermit"). These Terms govern your use of the Peermit "Service", which refers individually and collectively to all written or electronic materials, data, text, audio video, images or other content ("Content") and software made available through the www.peermit.com website ("Site"). These Terms refer to the individual or entity using the Service (including any component of the Service) as "you".
By using the Service, visiting the Site, or registering for an account with us, you are accepting and agreeing to these Terms, and the policies and guidelines referenced in these Terms. These Terms require the use of arbitration to resolve disputes on an individual basis, rather than jury trials or on resolution a collective basis.
Provided the User is using the Peermit as a business customer, i.e. for purposes of his or her trade, business or profession or on behalf of a public body or corporation, article § 312e paragraph 1, sentence 1, no. 1
- 3 of the German Civil Code does not apply.
Peermit may amend these Terms at any time by posting the revised Terms on the Site. Amended Terms take effect when posted to the Site, when Peermit gives such notice, or when you, or when you otherwise accept the amended Terms - whichever occurs first.
The Service does not send or receive money and never has nor will every have access to the tokens associated with your account or the accounts itself.
As a service provider, Peermit enables you to secure your tokens against intrusion into your systems. A customer will have a secured account ("account") that is associated with the email address provided by the user.
By using the Service, instructions concerning your account's tokens require approval by at least two authorities of which Peermit will be only one. The other authority will be the customer himself. The Service will make use of so called Proposals that request to execute some instructions that affect your account's tokens.
In order to transfer tokens from your account, a proposal has to be created that instruct a transfer and the Service as well as the customer have to manually approve.
Peermit's approval solely depends on successful verification of the proposers identity by means of Second-Factor-Authentication (2FA), e.g. a link in an email sent to the owner of the account.
Once the blockchain network recognizes the proposal and the required approvals from the Service and the customer are validated, the instructions are executed. Neither other individuals or companies in the network nor the Service cannot be used by you to cancel or reverse these instructions.
The account is under sole control of the customer such that access to the tokens is granted by removing the requirement of the Service's approval. Hence, customers can freely opt-out of the Service. It is the customer's responsibility to secure the so cryptographic owner private key properly and verify the instruction of proposal before approval.
Key Management distinguishes
- account owner permissions (which control the account itself and its tokens), from
- account active, or spending permissions (which solely control the account's tokens)
Peermit does not control full or partial access to your account's owner authority.
Peermit controls only one of the active authorities required to access your account's tokens.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of the other private keys associated with the spending permission and account owner permission. In the event you appoint a third party to control one or more of your private key(s), whether or not such appointment is made through the Service (e.g, through a key recovery service), Peermit is not responsible for the action or inaction of such third party.
Your individual accounts are your property and your responsibility. Peermit cannot make transactions using your accounts except in conjunction with a request or command through the Service. You can opt-out from the service and keep your account by removing Peermit authority from your permissions.
If you grant express permission for a third party to connect to your Peermit Service account, either through the third party's product or through the Service, you acknowledge that granting permission to a third party to take specific actions on your behalf does not relieve you of any of your responsibilities under these Terms. Further, you acknowledge and agree that you will not hold Peermit responsible for, and will indemnify Peermit from, any liability arising from the actions or omissions of this third party in connection with the permissions you grant. You may change or remove these permissions from the account settings page.
It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to any transactions you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. Peermit is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transactions, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transactions.
Peermit has no control over, and makes no representations regarding the value of your tokens, or the security of the blockchain network. The value of your tokens can change rapidly, increase or decrease unexpectedly, and potentially even fall to zero.
You acknowledge that participation in the blockchain network involves risk.
A proposal may be unapproved by the Service for a period of time (usually less than a few minutes, but up to three business days).
