4. The Services

  • 4.1. The Services enable you to create one or more wallets (“RINO Wallet”). A RINO Wallet consists of a private key and a set of associated wallet addresses. A RINO Wallet can be used to send and to receive cryptographically secured tokens (often referred to as virtual currencies or cryptocurrencies), and facilitates the submission of the cryptocurrency transaction to the relevant blockchains without requiring you to download or install any other software to the your device.
  • 4.2. The private key of a RINO Wallet consists of three key-segments. To authorize spending of RINO Wallet funds, i.e. the transfer of cryptocurrency from that wallet, two of the three key segments are required. Any two of the three are sufficient to authorize a transaction.
  • 4.2.1. Upon wallet creation, you will be assigned two of three private key segments (“User Key Segment” and “Recovery Key Segment”), which are delivered to you with further information in the form of a document detailing how to recover your wallet (“Wallet Recovery Document”). You are required to download this document and store it in a safe place. You will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Key Segments and the Wallet Recovery Document and you are fully responsible for any activity that originates from your account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password, account, or any other breach of security. You agree that RINO is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this paragraph.
  • 4.2.2. RINO retains only one of three private key segments (“RINO Key Segment”), required for service operation. You acknowledge that we cannot authorize a transfer of cryptocurrency unilaterally, and that any transfer must involve one of the key segments that you are the sole custodian of.
  • 4.3. When a wallet is created, you are strongly advised to take precautions in order to avoid loss of access to and/or control over the wallet. Suggested measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • 4.3.1. creating a strong password for the account that is not used for any other website or online service;
  • 4.3.2. storing the account Recovery Document and Wallet Recovery Document provided by us off-line or safeguarding the private key segments in a secure fashion;
  • 4.3.3. maintaining the security of your wallet by protecting your account password by, for example, limiting access to your computer; and
  • 4.3.4. promptly notifying us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches related to your computer or account.
  • 4.4. General Transaction Terms
  • 4.4.1. You acknowledge that your use of this Service is at your sole discretion and that your use is compliant with all relevant laws in your jurisdiction or any other applicable laws.

  • 4.4.8. The authors of the software, employees and affiliates of RINO cannot retrieve your private key segments or passwords if you lose or forget them and cannot guarantee transaction confirmation as they do not have control over the cryptocurrency networks.
  • 4.4.9. You accept that in the event of a loss, that we cannot assist with password retrieval or generate a new password. You accept and acknowledge that any cryptocurrency associated with such a wallet will become inaccessible if your account password and recovery documents are lost.
  • 4.4.10. All proposed virtual currency transactions must be confirmed and recorded in the associated public blockchain. Such networks are decentralized, peer-to-peer networks supported by independent third parties which RINO does not own, control, or operate. Therefore, RINO cannot and does not ensure that any transaction details submitted via our Services will be confirmed and processed. By using RINO, you acknowledge and agree that the transaction details you submit may not be completed or may be substantially delayed.
  • 4.4.11. You represent and warrant that any information provided via the Services is accurate and complete and accepts and acknowledges that we are not responsible for any errors or omissions made in connection with any cryptocurrency transaction initiated via the Services. You are strongly advised to review all transaction details carefully before attempting to transfer virtual currency.
  • 4.4.12. You agree to receive push notifications from us which may include blockchain congestion alerts and the status of your wallet transaction.
  • 4.4.13. You agree that once transaction details have been submitted via the Services, we cannot assist in the cancellation or otherwise modify the transaction.

5. Website Availability and Content

  • 5.1. Access to our Services may become unavailable or degraded during times of significant volatility, volume or through consequences related to the services we rely on to operate our site, or through third party actions. You understand that this may result in limitations on access to your RINO account and that RINO is not liable for damages which may arise from service interruptions, transaction processing time or delayed customer support response time. In any such event, we will strive to rectify or restore secure access to the website and respond to any support tickets or enquiries as quickly as possible.

6. Termination and Cancelation of Service

  • 6.2. If you want to terminate your account, you may do so by following the steps in your account to “close account” or “terminate account” and discontinuing the use of our services.

  • 8.1. The Service may present links or refer you to third-party websites and applications not owned or operated by RINO. You agree that RINO is not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused by or in connection with your use of or reliance on any content of any such third-party site or application, or any services they provide or do not provide. These links and referrals are provided for your convenience only.
  • 8.2. In no event shall a description or reference to a third party’s product or service (including, but not limited to, providing a description or reference via hyperlink) be construed as endorsement or promotion of such third-party products or services by RINO. We retain the exclusive right to add to, modify, or cancel the availability of any third-party service. We do not control, endorse, or adopt any third-party content and will have no responsibility for third-party content including, but not limited to, token availability and/or sales.

  • 12.1. RINO endeavors to provide reliable access to virtual currency or tokens that you store via the Services.
