1. ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS
By clicking “I Agree” or by creating an account through www.turnkey.com, www.turnkey.io or any other website owned or operated by Turnkey (collectively, the “Turnkey Site”) or by otherwise using or accessing the Turnkey Site, the Platform or the Services (or any portion thereof, including without limitation using or downloading any Turnkey API and/or SDK), including without limitation, through or in connection with a Bundled Product Integration (as defined below), you hereby agree that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms, as well as the Privacy Policy. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, legal entity or other organization (which, without limitation, will be deemed to be the case if you sign up to use any Service or create an account using an email address from such company, legal entity or other organization), you represent that you have the authority to bind the company, entity or organization to these Terms and the terms “User”, “you” or “your” will also refer to such company, legal entity or other organization. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not access or use the Services, Platform or any Bundled Product Integration.
In order to receive certain services from Turnkey, including development, implementation, dedicated support or any other customized, managed or enterprise services, or to be eligible for certain services, features, support levels and/or custom fee arrangements available for select product tiers (collectively, the ”Managed Services”) you may be required to enter into an enterprise services agreement (an “Enterprise Services Agreement”) and/or one or more order forms describing the Managed Services to be performed and the applicable fees, terms and conditions (each an Order Form”“).
If you have entered into a separate written agreement with Turnkey for any services, including an Enterprise Services Agreement, which is validly executed by both parties, the terms of that agreement will govern your use of solely those Managed Services explicitly set forth therein. If you provide any Bundled Product Integration (as defined below) you will be considered a “Turnkey Integration Partner” for the purposes of these Terms and you agree that, in addition to (and without otherwise limiting) your responsibilities and obligations as a User under these Terms, your use of the Services will be governed by, and subject to your compliance with, the additional obligations and responsibilities required when acting in the capacity of a Turnkey Integration Partner as set forth herein.
If you are (a) building any End-User Application (as defined below) on top of or otherwise utilizing the Services or Platform (a “Direct Application Developer”), and/or (b) using any Bundled Product Integration (as defined below) or otherwise accessing or using any of Turnkey’s Services or the Platform through or facilitated by a Turnkey Integration Partner (an “Indirect Application Developer”, together with a Direct Application Developer, each individually an “Application Developer” and collectively, the “Application Developers”), by doing so, you hereby agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions applicable to both Users and Application Developers (including those applicable to Direct Application Developers and Indirect Application Developers, respectively) contained in these Terms, as well as the Privacy Policy. If you are an Indirect Application Developer, you further acknowledge and agree that the way you access the Services, the Platform and/or the features and functionality available to you may be determined or controlled by the applicable Turnkey Integration Partner and/or Bundled Product Integration and, in addition to these Terms, your use and access may be governed by any separate agreement(s) or applicable terms of service and/or privacy policy entered into directly between you and the Turnkey Integration Partner.
2. AMENDMENTS TO THE TERMS
Amended Terms. We are continuously working to enhance our existing services and expand our current offerings which may require us to update these Terms. We may amend or modify these Terms at any time by posting the modified terms on the Turnkey Site, posting a notice through the Platform, and/or by providing a copy to you through any other method of communication which we deem reasonable. In the case of an Indirect Application Developer, such notice may be communicated to you indirectly through a Turnkey Integration Partner or Bundled Product Integration. If you are a Turnkey Integration Partner, you acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that your Application Developers are notified about any updates we make to our Terms pursuant to this provision. If you continue to use the Services, the Platform or any Bundled Product Integration after we have posted modified Terms, it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you do not agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services, Platform or any Bundled Product Integration anymore and your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your use of the Services and close your Account and/or, if applicable, export your Private Key. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change, suspend or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion. Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.
3. YOUR ACCOUNT; USER RESPONSIBILITIES
Account Creation. If you want to sign up to directly use the Services, you’ll have to create an account via the Platform (your “Account”), which will require you to provide your email address and authenticate initially using a secure, supported FIDO2 hardware authentication device, provided that, if you are an Indirect Application Developer, the way you sign up for or access the Services may be different, as determined by the applicable Turnkey Integration Partner (and for the avoidance of doubt, you may not be required to create an Account). By creating an Account (whether for yourself or on behalf of an entity, company or organization) you become the first Root User (as defined below) for the Account and, if applicable, you hereby represent and warrant to Turnkey that you have the authority to act on behalf of that entity, company or other organization. A “Root User” is an Authorized User (as defined below) acting on the User’s behalf and who, by default, has full permissions and administrative rights with respect to the Account, including without limitation, the ability to add additional Root Users and Covered Users (as defined below) and to create one or more sub-accounts and/or sub-organizations under the Account.
Authorized Users and Covered Users. For purposes of these Terms, “Authorized User” means, with respect to the User, the User’s employees and consultants and/or other persons, companies, entities, organizations, agents and/or representatives permitted by the User to access, use, manage and/or operate the Services on User’s behalf or through User’s Account (including any sub-accounts, organizations, and sub-organizations associated with Customer’s Account), whether as API users or web users, and including without limitation, Root Users. All Authorized Users are also considered and referred to herein as your “Covered Users”. If you are using the Services in connection with developing and/or providing a service, product or application that will enable your end-users to access, whether directly or indirectly, the Services and/or the Platform or that otherwise integrates or incorporates the Services and/or Platform, including without limitation, a consumer-facing application or end-user wallet (“End-User Application”) or you are otherwise an Application Developer, in addition to your Authorized Users, each of your end-users will be considered a Covered User under these Terms. If you are using the Services in connection with developing and/or providing a bundled developer service, product or application that is integrated with or incorporates the Services or Platform, and/or is managed or offered under your Account, for the purpose of enabling or facilitating the development or provision of an End-User Application by your end-customers (each of which is deemed to be an Application Developer under these Terms) (a “Bundled Product Integration”), in addition to your Authorized Users, each of your Application Developers, their Authorized Users and their end-users is considered a Covered User under these Terms.
Authentication Credentials. After creating your Account, you (and your Covered Users) may associate multiple Authentication Credentials (as defined below) with your Account, which may serve as backup authentication methods for Account access. If you or your Covered Users do not add any backup Authentication Credentials and you lose the hardware authentication device you used when initially setting up your Account, you will lose access to your Account and any and all Private Keys (as defined below) and Digital Assets (as defined below) associated with your Account. In order to use the Services, including, without limitation, to generate Private Keys, User (and/or any applicable Covered Users) will be required to create one or more “Authentication Credentials,” which are private keys, API key credentials, hardware authentication devices, passkeys or any other codes, secrets or other available authentication methods that User or any applicable Covered User utilizes to access your Account and/or any part of the Services. User is responsible for safekeeping all Authentication Credentials associated with User’s Account, including without limitation, all Covered User Authentication Credentials. For the avoidance of doubt, unless explicitly indicated otherwise, any reference to Account in these Terms shall be deemed to include all sub-accounts, organizations and sub-organizations associated with the Account (including those associated with and/or controlled by any Covered User).
Your Account, Your Responsibility. You will be responsible for keeping all Authentication Credentials secure and for any and all activity associated with your Account. You are responsible for all use that occurs under your Account and/or using your (and your Covered Users’) Authentication Credentials, including any and all activities by you, your Covered Users and/or any third parties that have access to your Account information, Authentication Credentials and/or the email accounts associated with or otherwise attributable to your Account, whether authorized or not, and whether or not you know about such activities. Turnkey will not be responsible or liable if someone else accesses your Account or the Authentication Credentials (and/or email accounts) associated with your Account and initiates or authorizes a Signature Request (as defined below) or updates the Policy Rules (as defined below). You must inform Turnkey immediately if any Authentication Credentials associated with your Account have been stolen or otherwise compromised. If you lose access to your Authentication Credentials, including if you lose, misplace, or replace the hardware device you use to authenticate and you have not added any backup Authentication Credentials or enabled Email Recovery (as defined below), you may permanently lose access to your Account. If your Covered Users lose access to the Authentication Credentials associated with your Account, including if your Covered Users lose, misplace, or replace the hardware device they use to authenticate and you or they have not added a backup authentication method, you or they may permanently lose the ability to use the Services or portions thereof, including the ability to initiate Signature Requests and/or access Private Keys. Turnkey does not have access to, nor can it recover on your behalf, your or your Covered Users’ Authentication Credentials nor can Turnkey enable Email Recovery if you or your Covered Users’ provide the incorrect email address (whether directly to Turnkey or through any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application). This could result in you and/or your Covered Users permanently losing access to funds associated with a particular Private Key controlled by those Authentication Credentials.Responsibility for User’s Digital Assets. As between User and Turnkey, User shall remain solely responsible for all Digital Assets you and/or your Covered Users use in connection with the Turnkey Services, including without limitation the responsibility for the safekeeping of the Digital Assets you and/or your Covered Users use in connection with the Services. For purposes of these Terms, (i) “Digital Assets” means digital currencies, cryptocurrencies, decentralized application tokens, protocol tokens, smart contracts, Protocol-based assets, stablecoins, cryptoassets and other cryptofinance and digital assets and instruments, to the extent Turnkey currently supports curve encryption formats necessary for Private Key generation for such assets based on the technical specifications of the corresponding Protocol; and (ii) “Protocol” means a digital ledger in which transactions made with a Digital Asset are recorded chronologically. For the purposes of these Terms, “Private Key” means an asymmetric, cryptographic key that is secret and is uniquely contained within the Services, and is used as part of a public-key cryptographic algorithm.
Application Developer Responsibilities. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting any of the foregoing responsibilities, if you are an Indirect Application Developer, you and the Turnkey Integration Partner are jointly and severally responsible for safekeeping the Authentication Credentials associated with your and/or your Covered User’s use of the Services through the Bundled Product Integration, including without limitation, all end-user Authentication Credentials. As between Turnkey and the Application Developer, the Application Developer shall remain solely responsible for all Digital Assets owned by the Application Developer and its Covered Users that are used in connection with the Turnkey Services or through the Bundled Product Integration, or otherwise associated with any End-User Application, including without limitation, the responsibility for the safekeeping of all Digital Assets the Application Developer and/or its Covered Users use in connection with, by or through the Services, the Bundled Product Integration or End-User Application. As between Turnkey and the Application Developer, the Application Developer shall be responsible for all activity associated with or otherwise attributable to the Application Developer’s Covered Users, their Authentication Credentials and Private Keys, whether authorized or not, and whether or not Application Developer knows about such activities. Turnkey will not be responsible or liable if someone else accesses the Application Developer’s (or its Covered Users’) Authentication Credentials and initiates or authorizes a Signature Request or takes any other action with respect to the associated Private Keys or wallets. Application Developer will, and will require all Covered Users (including end-users of its End-User Application) to, use all reasonable means to secure hardware and software used to access or use the Services through or in connection with the Bundled Product Integration or End-User Application (including devices, Authentication Credentials and email accounts) in accordance with customary security protocols and the Documentation. Application Developer will inform Covered Users of and require them to acknowledge and agree to: (x) the risks associated with losing access to their Authentication Credentials and the failure to add a backup authentication method, (y) the risks associated with providing the wrong email address and/or failure to secure their email address, including without limitation, in connection with the use of Email Recovery, and (z) the risks associated with exporting and/or importing their Private Keys and/or using the Key Export or Key Import functionality. Application Developer will promptly notify Turnkey (and in the case of an Indirect Application Developer, the Turnkey Integration Partner) if Application Developer knows or reasonably suspects that any information associated with its use of the Services (including Authentication Credentials) has been stolen or compromised. Each Account for access to and use of the Services may only be accessed and used by the specific Application Developer or Covered User for whom such Account or sub-account is created.
Email Recovery. As part of the Services, Turnkey makes available optional functionality that allows a User to enable, on behalf of themselves, their Authorized Users and/or Covered Users, the ability to recover access to User’s Account (and/or a Covered User’s sub-account or Private Key(s)) by triggering an email recovery flow to the email address associated with that Covered User (“Email Recovery”). User is solely responsible for enabling (or disabling) and implementing Email Recovery under its Account and/or by its Covered Users (including any such implementation as part of any End-User Application and/or Bundled Product Integration). Enabling email recovery will allow a User and/or Covered User to gain access to their Account (and/or sub-account) and control over the associated Private Keys, using the email address associated with that Private key, even if they do not have access to their Authentication Credentials. The Email Recovery functionality is limited to the email address provided to Turnkey upon creation of the new Covered User and as such if User or a Covered User provides the wrong email address, you or they will not be able to utilize the Email Recovery functionality and may permanently lose access to the associated Private Keys. User is solely responsible for ensuring (x) the accuracy of any email address provided to Turnkey associated with User’s Account (including without limitation those provided by or on behalf of Covered Users and/or any subaccounts), and (y) access to and the security of the email accounts associated with its Account (and for ensuring your Covered Users secure their email accounts). Turnkey is not liable for any failure by User or a Covered User to enter the correct email address, loss of access to or failure to properly secure such email address and/or account, including without limitation, any unauthorized access, hacks or malicious attempts or phishing scams deployed to obtain access to Private Keys and/or Account or sub-accounts via the email address associated with that User or Covered User.
Key Export. As part of the Services, Turnkey offers optional functionality that allows Users, their Authorized Users and/or Covered Users, the ability to export or make a copy of their respective Private Key(s) generated by the Services onto their hardware device for use with another wallet provider (“Key Export”). User is solely responsible for enabling (or disabling) and implementing Key Export functionality under its Account and/or by its Covered Users (including any such implementation as part of any End-User Application and/or Bundled Product Integration). If User chooses to enable Key Export functionality, User agrees (x) to do so strictly in accordance with the Documentation, including without limitation with respect to the implementation of such functionality into any Bundled Product Integration or End-User Application; and (y) that User and its Covered Users will be solely responsible for the security of the exported Private Key and the Digital Assets contained therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, following Key Export, Turnkey shall have no responsibility for or liability in connection with any exported Private Key, and/or the Digital Assets contained therein, including without limitation, for signing of transactions, enforcement of Policy Rules, any failure by User or a Covered User to properly secure their exported Private Key, or, any unauthorized access, hacks or malicious attempts or phishing scams deployed to obtain access to exported Private Keys and/or devices or accounts containing exported Private Keys. Prior to allowing a Covered User to export a Private Key, User will require its Covered Users to hold Turnkey harmless from any liability or responsibility related to exported Private Keys.
Key Import. As part of the Services, Turnkey offers optional functionality that allows Users, their Authorized Users and/or Covered Users, the ability to import their existing wallets or private keys from another platform, hardware or software device onto Turnkey’s Platform (“Key Import”). User is solely responsible for enabling (or disabling) and implementing Key Import functionality under its Account and/or by its Covered Users (including any such implementation as part of any End-User Application and/or Bundled Product Integration). If User chooses to enable Key Import functionality, User agrees (x) to do so strictly in accordance with the Documentation, including without limitation with respect to the implementation of such functionality into any Bundled Product Integration or End-User Application; and (y) that User and its Covered Users will be solely responsible for the security of the seed phrase or authentication credentials associated with the imported wallet and/or private key that are stored outside of the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Turnkey shall have no responsibility for or liability in connection with an imported private key or wallet, and/or the Digital Assets contained therein, including without limitation, any use of the private key or wallet outside the Services (including without limitation for signing of transactions and/or enforcement of Policy Rules outside of the Services), any failure by User or a Covered User to properly secure their seed phrase, hardware device, software device or other private key and/or wallet platform or provider, nor, shall Turnkey have any liability or responsibility in connection with any unauthorized access, hacks or malicious attempts or phishing scams deployed to obtain access to private keys or wallets during the Key Import process and/or devices or accounts containing key access credentials outside of the Services. Prior to allowing a Covered User to import a Private Key, User will require its Covered Users to hold Turnkey harmless from any liability or responsibility related to Key Import.
Implementation. For the avoidance of doubt, User is solely responsible for all implementation decisions User makes in connection with the Services (including as part of any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application), including without limitation, implementation choices that determine access to and/or control of Private Keys (i.e., access and/or control limited to a Covered User or granted to User on behalf of a particular Covered User), whether to enable Key Export and/or Email Recovery functionality for your Covered Users, access and permissioning for Covered Users, Account and organization structuring (including subaccount or sub-org structure), permitted types of Authentication Credentials, etc. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing list is provided solely as an example and does not constitute an exhaustive list of implementation considerations and/or optionality
5. AUTHORIZED AND COVERED USERS
General. User is solely responsible for selecting its Authorized Users and configuring the specific permissions and appropriate level of access for each of its Authorized Users associated with its Account, as well as the type or method of access. In addition, User is responsible for selecting and determining the manner and method of Account access and appropriate permissions for the Covered Users who are not Authorized Users. User will ensure that every Covered User complies with the applicable provisions of these Terms in connection with such Covered User’s use of the Services. User is fully and directly responsible to Turnkey for any act or omission which violates these Terms by each such Covered User in connection with their use of the Services and/or the Platform (including through any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application). User will, and will require all Covered Users to, use all reasonable means to secure hardware and software used to access the Services (including Authentication Credentials and email accounts) in accordance with customary security protocols and the Documentation. User will promptly notify Turnkey if User or any Covered User knows or reasonably suspects that any information (including Authentication Credentials) has been compromised. Each account (including sub-accounts) for access to and use of the Services may only be accessed and used by the specific Covered User for whom such account or sub-account is created.
End User Authorization. If you are a Turnkey Integration Partner or Application Developer, your end-customers (including your Application Developers and their authorized users and/or end users of any End-User Application) are considered your Covered Users under these Terms. User is solely responsible for and has sole discretion over: (x) determining whether any User end-customers (and if applicable, their authorized users and end-users) are eligible to directly or indirectly use the Services and/or the Platform (including through any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application), and the level of access, including, without limitation, determining end-customer (and if applicable, their authorized users and end-users) authorization to create and use Authentication Credentials and initiate Signature Requests, and/or eligibility to use any other features as implemented by User; and (y) ensuring that such User end-customers (and if applicable, their authorized users and end-users) comply with the Terms and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Further, and without limitation of any other provision of these Terms, User shall be solely responsible for all aspects of any customer service available to applicable Covered Users. Without limiting the foregoing, User acknowledges and agrees that User will not permit any Covered User to access any portion of the Services or Platform (or Bundled Product Integration or End-User Application) if the Covered User is located, ordinarily resident, organized, established, or domiciled in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk Regions of Ukraine, or any other country or jurisdiction against which the U.S. maintains comprehensive economic sanctions or an arms embargo (“Sanctioned Countries”).
Prevention of Unauthorized Use. User, and each Root User and Authorized User individually affirm to Turnkey that Authorized User is authorized to act on behalf of User’s business. User affirms to Turnkey that each other Covered User is authorized to utilize the Services and/or the Platform through User’s Account. User will cooperate with Turnkey and engage in commercially reasonable efforts to detect unauthorized or fraudulent activity in connection with Services and any Userprovided services and/or applications (including any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application). Further, and without limitation of any other provision of these Terms, User shall be solely responsible for the implementation of, provision and support of, as well as all other aspects of or relating to any User service and/or application (including any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application) available to app

Please note that any payment terms and/or associated usage limitations presented to you in the process of using or signing up for the Services (including, without limitation, when selecting a subscription plan or tier) are deemed part of these Terms. Service plans or tiers are automatically renewing subscriptions that may require recurring payments (depending on the plan selected or unless explicitly stated otherwise). We reserve the right to change our fees at our discretion with notice.
Billing. We use a third-party payment processor to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account for use of the Services. The processing of payments through a payment processor will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the payment processor.

SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT.
Current information required. You must provide current, complete and accurate information for billing in your Account. You must promptly update all information relevant to billing to keep your Account current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and you must promptly notify us or our payment processor if your payment method is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your Authentication Credentials. Changes to such information can be made in your Account settings. If you fail to provide any of the foregoing information, you agree that we may continue charging you for any use of the Services under your Account unless and until you have terminated your use of the Services, provided that, you will remain responsible for paying all usage-based fees you incur prior to such termination.
Auto-Renewal. If you have signed up for a subscription-based plan, unless you have terminated your subscription, any Services you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the thencurrent rate for the applicable Service (which rates are subject to change at any time at our discretion). To change or resign your Services at any time, go to Account settings. If you terminate your use of the Services, you will only be billed for your usage prior to termination. However, if applicable, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of a subscription fee already paid for the then-current subscription period. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE SERVICES THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING TERM.
Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of the Services reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your payment method for the Services. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to use the Services.
Abusive Usage. Turnkey may monitor the Services for users abusing, circumventing, or attempting to abuse or circumvent restrictions associated with the Services or any applicable subscription plans or tiers. Turnkey may take action against you including, but not limited to, billing you for overages, requiring you to upgrade your plan, discontinuing your, or your Covered Users,’ use of the Services or your plan, or terminating your, or your Covered Users’, access to the Services if it is determined by Turnkey, in its sole discretion, that you or your Covered Users employed means, or that your Bundled Product Integration, End-User Application or other application or service permitted others, to circumvent any restriction or limitation applicable to the Services or your plan.
Taxes. The fees are exclusive of, and User will be solely responsible for, all applicable taxes in connection with these Terms (including any Order Form hereunder), including any sales, use, excise, value-added, goods and services, consumption, and other similar taxes or duties (but excluding taxes based on Turnkey’s net income). Should any payment for the Services provided by User be subject to withholding tax by any taxing authority, User will reimburse Turnkey for such withholding tax.

As between the parties, Turnkey will exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to the Turnkey IP. Subject to these Terms, all Intellectual Property Rights created in any such Turnkey IP will become property of Turnkey upon creation, and to the extent that sole ownership does not originally vest in Turnkey, such Intellectual Property Rights are hereby automatically and irrevocably assigned by User (and its Authorized Users) to Turnkey. User will, and will ensure the Authorized Users will, take any and all actions and execute any and all documents necessary to give effect to the preceding sentence. Each party hereby expressly reserves all Intellectual Property Rights not expressly granted hereunder.
Non-Exclusivity. You acknowledge and agree that Turnkey may now, or in the future, develop products or services that may compete with your products or services (including any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application).

Turnkey does not have the ability to access, move or transfer funds on your or your Covered Users’ behalf. Title to and control over your (and your Covered Users’, as applicable) Digital Assets shall at all times remain with you (and your Covered Users) and shall not transfer to Turnkey. As between you and Turnkey, as the owner of Digital Assets used in connection with the Turnkey Services, you (and your Covered Users) shall bear all risk of loss of such Digital Assets.

Turnkey does not issue, buy, sell, transfer, or custody Digital Assets nor does Turnkey facilitate or make any recommendations related to, whether directly or indirectly, the issuance, purchase, or sale of any Digital Assets.

We make no representations and warranties as to any consequences of your or your Covered Users’ use of the Services, the Platform (including through any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application) related to initiating Signature Requests, including but not limited to any and all legal, regulatory and/or tax consequences. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all aspects of establishing and updating Policy Rules, initiating Signature Requests, or otherwise using the Services and managing your Digital Assets, including any actions of Covered Users, and including by through or by means of any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application.

Turnkey assumes no responsibility for the operation of the underlying Protocols and is not able to guarantee the functionality or security of network operations. In particular, the underlying Protocols may be subject to sudden changes in operating rules. Any such operating changes may materially affect the availability, value, functionality, and/or the name of the Digital Asset you own. Turnkey does not control the timing and features of these material operating changes. In the event of any such operational change, Turnkey reserves the right to takes such steps as may be necessary to protect the security and safety of its Services and/or the Platform, including temporarily suspending operations for the involved asset(s), and other necessary steps; Turnkey will use its best efforts to provide User with notice of its response to any material operating change; however, such changes are outside of Turnkey’s control and may occur without notice to Turnkey. Turnkey’s response to any material operating change is subject to its sole discretion and includes deciding not to support functionality associated with any underlying Protocol. User acknowledges and accepts the risks of operating changes to Digital Asset Protocols and agrees that Turnkey is not responsible for such operating changes and not liable for any loss of value or missed rewards User or Covered Users may experience as a result of such changes in operating rules.
The Services may not support curve encryption formats necessary for Private Key generation for certain blockchain networks, as may be described further in the Documentation. Under no circumstances should you or your Covered Users attempt to use the Services, the Platform, any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application to store, send, request, or receive any assets on blockchain networks and/or curve encryption formats that we do not support. We assume no responsibility in connection with any attempt to use our Services, the Platform, any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application with blockchain networks and/or curve encryption formats that we do not support. You acknowledge and agree (and will require your Covered Users to acknowledge and agree) that we are not liable for any digital asset that is sent to a Turnkey wallet on an unsupported blockchain network or curve encryption format.
Informational Purposes Only; No Advice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Services do not include nor does Turnkey provide financial, investment, tax, legal, regulatory, accounting, business, or other advice, and you are solely responsible for determining whether any development, investment, investment strategy, or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance. Information provided by Turnkey on the Turnkey Site or otherwise (including links to any third-party sites or communications with Turnkey representatives) does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, legal advice, tax advice or any other sort of advice or recommendation, and you should not treat it as such.

Turnkey will not be held responsible for the decisions you or your Covered Users make to buy, sell, or hold any digital asset based on the information provided by Turnkey.
14. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISKS
By accessing or using the Services in any way, you represent and warrant that you understand the inherent risks associated with cryptographic systems and blockchain-based networks; digital assets, including the usage and intricacies of native digital assets, like Ether (ETH); smart contractbased tokens, such as those that follow the Ethereum Token Standard; and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. Turnkey does not own or control any of the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed. In general, the software underlying blockchain networks, including the Ethereum blockchain, is open source, such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it.
By accessing or using the Services, the Platform, any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application you acknowledge and agree (a) that Turnkey is not responsible for the operation of the software and networks underlying the Services, (b) that there exists no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of that software and networks, and (c) that the underlying networks are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, such as those commonly referred to as “forks,” which may materially affect the Services.
Blockchain networks use public/private key cryptography. Encrypted forms of Private Key(s) are stored at Turnkey’s servers, however we do not have access to your or your Covered Users’ raw Private Key(s). We have access to encrypted Private Key data only and only a User or Covered User may access raw Private Key(s). Neither Turnkey nor any other person or entity (other than your Covered Users, as authorized by you) will be able to unilaterally retrieve or move the Digital Assets controlled by the Private Keys associated with your Account.
User is responsible for determining whether to implement and/or offer Key Import and/or Key Export functionality for User’s Account and/or for its Covered Users. Should Turnkey suddenly go offline or cease offering the Services permanently for any reason, Users and Covered Users could potentially lose control and access to the Digital Assets associated with the Private Key(s) forever. Similarly, should a Turnkey Integration Partner or Application Developer or any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application suddenly go offline or cease offering its products services and/or applications permanently for any reason, Covered Users could potentially lose control and access to the Digital Assets associated with their Private Key(s) forever. It is up to the User to enable Key Import and/or Key Export functionality for itself and its Covered Users or to pre-sign transactions to move User’s and Covered Users’ Digital Assets to another wallet address for future broadcasting to account for this risk. If User or a Covered User chooses to import or export Private Keys, User agrees (and will require its Covered Users to agree) (x) to do so strictly in accordance with the Documentation; and (y) that User (and its Covered Users) will be solely responsible for the security of the exported Private Key and access credentials related to imported Private Keys stored outside the platform, the associated wallet and the Digital Assets contained therein.
Turnkey does not have access to your Account. You alone are responsible for securing your Authentication Credentials. If you lock yourself out of your Account, we cannot help you get back into your Account or reset your Authentication Credentials. Losing control of Authentication Credentials will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to Digital Assets on the blockchain-based network and it is possible that you may lose access to your Account and Private Key information forever. If this occurs, then you will not be able to realize any value or utility from the Digital Assets that you may hold.
You understand that our Platform remains under development, which creates technological, and other risks when using or accessing the Platform. These risks include, among others, delays in signing Signature Requests or retrieving Private Key data resulting from the servers of Turnkey being offline; or an incorrect display of information on the Platform in the case of server errors. You acknowledge that these risks may have a material impact on your use of the Platform, which may result in, among other things, your failing to fulfill transactions at your desired price or at all.We must comply with applicable laws, which may require us to, upon request by government agencies, take certain actions or provide information, which may not be in your best interests.
You agree and acknowledge, and will require your Covered Users to agree and acknowledge, that Turnkey will have no obligation or responsibility with respect to any Private Keys (including without limitation, no obligation or responsibility to process Signature Requests) after termination of your Account (and/or their subaccount) or expiration of the Terms (and/or applicable Order Form), other than to make available the Key Export functionality, provided that, and only to the extent that, such you have enabled such functionality on behalf of your Covered Users. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Turnkey shall have no responsibility for or liability in connection with any exported Private Key, the associated wallet and/or the Digital Assets contained therein, or for a Covered Users’ inability to access Key Export due to Users’ implementation decisions.
You hereby acknowledge and agree (and you will require your Covered Users to acknowledge and agree) that Turnkey will have no responsibility or liability for the risks set forth in this Section 13. You (and you will require your Covered Users to) hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against Turnkey, its affiliates, and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, suppliers, and contractors related to any of the risks set forth in this Section 13.

To the extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Turnkey and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your, or your Covered Users’, access to, use or misuse of the Services, the Platform, the Turnkey Site, your Account, or Content, including without limitation, any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application, (ii) your User Content, (iii) third party materials, (iv) any use or misuse of your or your Covered Users’ Authentication Credentials, or any other Authentication Credentials otherwise associated with your Account, (v) any content, data or information routed into or used in connection with the Services by you, your Covered Users or others acting on your behalf (or otherwise authorized by you or your Covered Users), (vi) the use or misuse of any service or application you or your Covered Users develop, provide or make available through the use of the Services or the Platform (including without limitation any Bundled Product Integration and/or End-User Application made available directly or indirectly by you or your Covered Users), (vii) your or your Covered Users’ violation of these Terms or failure to comply with applicable laws and/or regulations, (viii) any modifications, alterations, adaptations to, or implementations of, the Services or Platform inconsistent with the Documentation, or (iix) your or your Covered Users’ violation of any third party right, including without limitation, any third party Intellectual Property Rights. Turnkey reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter that is subject to indemnification under this section, and you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting Turnkey’s defense of such matter. You may not settle or compromise any such claim without Turnkey’s written consent.
If Turnkey reasonably believes the Services or the Platform (or any component thereof) could infringe any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, Turnkey may, at its sole option and expense use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) procure the right for User to continue using the Services (or any infringing component thereof) to make it non-infringing without materially reducing its functionality; or (ii) replace the Services (or any infringing component thereof) with a non-infringing alternative that is functionally equivalent in all material respects. If the foregoing remedies are not available to Turnkey on commercially reasonable terms, then Turnkey may suspend or terminate User’s use of the Services upon notice to User.
17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER TURNKEY NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS (INCLUDING THOSE INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES) WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOSS OF FUNDS OR DIGITAL ASSETS, MISSED REWARDS OR SLASHING PENALTIES, FAILURE TO OBTAIN ACCOUNT ACCESS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA, CUSTOMERS OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR OTHERWISE FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR PLATFORM (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY BUNDLED PRODUCT INTEGRATION AND/OR END-USER APPLICATION), WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT TURNKEY OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, IN NO EVENT WILL TURNKEY’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR PLATFORM (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY BUNDLED PRODUCT INTEGRATION AND/OR END-USER APPLICATION) EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO TURNKEY FOR USE OF THE SERVICES FOR THE PRIOR SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD.
THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN TURNKEY AND YOU.
18. CHOICE OF LAW AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
Choice of Law. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
Agreement to Arbitrate. This Section is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” User agrees that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between User and Turnkey, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that User may assert individual claims in small claims court, if User’s claims qualify. User agrees that, by agreeing to these Terms, User and Turnkey are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. User’s rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. User and Turnkey agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both User and Turnkey agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Turnkey is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most participant concerns can be resolved quickly and to the participant’s satisfaction by emailing Turnkey at [email protected]. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Turnkey should be sent to the attention of TURNKEY LEGAL, 25 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10004 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Turnkey and User do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, User or Turnkey may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Turnkey or User shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which User or Turnkey is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless Turnkey and User agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If User’s claim is for $10,000 or less, Turnkey agrees that User may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If User’s claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than clause (b) above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of clause (b) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.
19. EARLY ACCESS PRODUCTS AND DEMO APPLICATIONS
From time to time, we may offer services identified as early access, developer preview, beta, or test products (or by description of similar import) and make them available to you under these Terms (each, an "Early Access Product"). Likewise, in our developer Documentation, we may provide sample code and/or demo applications as a convenience to demonstrate certain features and functionality (each, a “Demo Application”).
Your participation or use of an Early Access Product and/or a Demo Application, will be governed by these Terms, including without limitation the additional terms and limitations set forth in this Section 18. You understand and acknowledge that the Early Access Product is still in a testing phase and is likely to contain errors and/or defects. Likewise, you understand and agree that Demo Applications are provided for testing and demonstrative purposes only, have limited functionality, are likely to contain errors and/or defects and are not suitable for production use.
In addition to the disclaimers set forth elsewhere in these Terms, you agree that the Early Access Products and Demo Applications provided are "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE." You should not rely on the performance or correct functioning of any Early Access Products or Demo Applications, nor should you rely on them for production use. You understand and agree that we may change, withdraw, terminate your access to, testing of and/or use of, or discontinue an Early Access Product, Demo Application, or any respective portions thereof, at any time and in our sole discretion, with or without notice to you. Your use of the Early Access Products and/or Demo Applications may be subject to additional limitations or conditions on a product-specific basis, which we may communicate to you through the Platform, Documentation, via email or through any other means as determined in our sole discretion. During your use of the Early Access Products, you will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide suggestions, comments or ideas and report issues or problems related to your use of the Early Access Products (collectively, "Early Access Feedback") to us in a timely basis or as otherwise agreed between the parties in writing (email will suffice). You agree not to disclose Feedback to any third party and hereby assign to us all right, title and interest in and to any Feedback, without any right to compensation or other obligation from us.
20. PROMOTIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS AND FREE TRIALS
From time to time we may offer some users a free trial or other promotional subscriptions to one or more of Turnkey’s Services. Such trial or promotional subscription is subject to these Terms and the terms of the applicable free trial or promotional subscription. Only one (1) trial or promotional subscription is available per user. Free trial eligibility is determined by Turnkey in its sole discretion and we may limit such eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse. Certain limitations may exist with respect to combining a free trial with any other offers. For some trials or promotional subscriptions, we may require you to provide your payment details to start the trial or promotional subscription. You may not receive a notice from Turnkey that your free trial has ended. BY PROVIDING PAYMENT DETAILS YOU AGREE THAT AT THE END OF YOUR APPLICABLE FREE TRIAL OR PROMOTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE STATED IN YOUR OFFER EACH BILLING CYCLE UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. To avoid charges to your payment method, you must cancel your free trial no later than the end of the period specified in the terms of the applicable free trial offer.
21. GENERAL TERMS
Entire Agreement. Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not govern the meaning or interpretation of these Terms. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Turnkey and you regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Turnkey and you regarding the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Turnkey’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Turnkey may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. In the event that Turnkey is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right to transfer or assign the information we have collected from you as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.
Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by Turnkey under these Terms will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
Non-Waiver of Rights. Turnkey’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Turnkey. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between Turnkey and any party hereto.
Force Majeure. We shall not be liable for delays, failure in performance or interruption of service which result directly or indirectly from any cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to, significant market volatility, act of God, act of civil or military authorities, act of terrorists, civil disturbance, riots, rebellions, revolutions, quarantines, pandemics, war, strike or other labor dispute, fire, flood, earthquake, changes in law or other similar governmental action, embargoes, 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.
No provision of these Terms is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any person other than the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
