These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are provided by Bold Technologies, Inc. (referred to as “Bold,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Terms apply to your usage of Bold's products and services, and any other services made available to you by us (collectively, the “Services”), which are accessible through our website at https://getbold.io (the "Site") and our web-based application (the "App"). When you use the Services, you are agreeing to abide by these Terms, which may also encompass conditions set by third parties. These Terms create a legally binding agreement between you and Bold.
By using the Services, creating an account, or clicking "Agree" when prompted on the Site, you agree that you've read, understood, and accepted all of the Terms and our Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy"), which is incorporated by reference into the Terms.
We reserve the right to make updates to these Terms, including the Privacy Policy, at our discretion, at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the start of the Terms. In the event of such an update, we will provide notice by posting the revised Terms on the App and the Site, and potentially through other suitable communication channels as determined by us. Therefore, it is essential for you to periodically review this Agreement on our App and Site for any revisions, especially when using the Services. Should you continue to use the Services following the posting of an update to the Terms, you are indicating your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you should discontinue your use of the Services. Furthermore, as our Services change, we may alter or terminate any or all aspects of the Services without prior notice, exercising our sole discretion.
Please take note:
It's important to carefully read and understand the Terms and the Privacy Policy because they govern your use of the Services. These Terms include significant details, such as a binding arbitration provision and a waiver of class action, both of which affect how disputes are resolved. The Services are only accessible to you, and you should only use them if you fully agree with the Terms.
By using our Services or by clicking "I ACCEPT" or a similar acceptance box, you confirm that you comprehend and agree to abide by all the Terms and any incorporated agreements.
If you're accepting the Terms on behalf of a legal entity, and you access or use the Services or accept the Terms on its behalf, you confirm that you have the legal authority to do so. In this case, the term "you" (except as used in this paragraph) refers to that entity. If you lack such authority or do not agree with all the Terms, we cannot provide our Services to you. If you don't agree to the Terms, neither you nor the entity you represent should access or use our Services.
We want to clarify that we don't have the authority to give directions to a Custodian regarding your assets held with them, or with any partner of a Custodian. The only exception to this is when our direction is necessary to help transfer your assets from one Custodian to another. In all other situations, a Custodian won't grant us any control or decision-making power over your assets they hold on your behalf. Additionally, a Custodian will never mix the assets they hold on our behalf with the assets they hold on your behalf. It's important to note that we are not designated as an agent for your custodial account with a Custodian. Just like with any qualified custodian, you always maintain legal ownership of the assets held in your Custodian account.
We want to make you aware of the following rights we have, which are not obligations on our part.
You are solely responsible for following the laws related to using the Services. This includes any obligations to report and pay taxes. You're also responsible for figuring out, paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other assessments connected to your use of the Services. If you're not a United States taxpayer, you should check the laws of your relevant jurisdiction.
When you use our Services, you are making certain promises to us and our affiliated companies. These promises include the following:
We must follow economic sanctions and trade limitations, including those set by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") at the United States Department of the Treasury. This means that neither we nor anyone using our Services can engage in transactions involving specific individuals or places, as identified by agencies like OFAC. No one using our Services, no matter where they are, can take part in transactions that involve:
To ensure compliance with these sanctions, you cannot use your Account while in certain geographic locations. If we suspect that you're using your Account from a sanctioned place or violating economic sanctions or trade restrictions in any way, we may suspend or terminate your use of our Services, even canceling ongoing bitcoin purchases or withdrawals.
Generally, you cannot sell products or services that originate from sanctioned areas. This includes items that existed before the sanctions, as we can't verify when they were removed from the restricted location. Besides following OFAC and local laws, other countries may have their own trade restrictions, and some items might not be allowed for export or import under international laws. When transactions involve international parties, it's essential to understand the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
Third-party payment processors and Custodians may also independently check transactions for sanctions compliance and block them as part of their own compliance efforts. We don't have control over their independent decision-making.
Remember that economic sanctions and trade restrictions can change, so it's a good idea to regularly check sanctions resources.
You can terminate the Terms whenever you like by closing your Account and stopping your use of our Services, as long as you follow the Terms and applicable laws. Just send us an email at help@getbold.io to cancel your Account.
We have the right to terminate the Terms and suspend or close your Account and access to our Services for any reason or no reason at all, at our sole discretion. We might do this without giving you advance notice, and we won't be responsible to you or anyone else for such suspension or termination.
If we end the Terms or suspend or terminate your access due to a violation of the Terms or suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal behavior, this termination will be in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies we might have.
When the Terms end or get terminated, whether by you or us, you might not have access to information you posted on our Services or related to your Account anymore. We're not obligated to keep that information in our databases or to send it to you or anyone else. However, you'll still have all your rights related to the bitcoin held by a Custodian even after the Terms end.
Your use of our Services comes with some important disclaimers. Our Services are provided "as is" and "as available." This means you're using them at your own risk, and we don't make any promises or guarantees about them.
To the fullest extent allowed by the law, the Company and everyone associated with it, including its members, managers, officers, employees, advisors, representatives, affiliates, and agents (“Company Parties”), don't offer any explicit warranties and explicitly deny any implied warranties regarding our Services or any part of them. This includes things like warranties of merchantability, fitness for a specific purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and reliability.
In simpler terms, the Company Parties DO NOT promise that:
Some places don't allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some or all of these disclaimers might not apply to you.
You understand that using the internet and providing information online carries inherent security risks. You agree that we're not responsible for any security breaches unless they result from our gross negligence. You should take reasonable steps to secure access to:
In other words, you're responsible for keeping your devices and login information safe and secure.
You need to understand that none of the Company Parties will be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages that you might experience, regardless of the reason or legal basis. These damages could include things like lost profits (whether direct or indirect), harm to your reputation or business, data loss, the cost of getting replacement goods or services, or any other non-tangible losses, even if we were warned about the possibility of these damages.
You agree that the Company won't be liable and is not responsible for any issues or losses caused by what we call "force majeure events." These include things like acts of nature (e.g., natural disasters), labor disputes, utility failures (like power or internet outages), software bugs or vulnerabilities, government actions, terrorism, war, changes in technology, or changes in economic conditions, among other things.
Our total responsibility to you for any and all claims related to the Terms or your use of our Services, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, is limited to the greater of:
You acknowledge and agree that we provided our Services to you and agreed to the Terms with the understanding that the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability stated here are a fair and reasonable way to distribute the risk between you and the Company. These terms are essential to our agreement.
In some places, the law doesn't allow us to exclude or limit certain types of damages, especially when personal injury is involved. So, the limitations and disclaimers above might not apply in those cases.
We want to make it clear that we are not responsible for any transactions you have with a Custodian. If a Custodian doesn't complete a purchase for you on time or makes a mistake in the amount, or if there are any losses related to the bitcoin held by that Custodian, we won't be held responsible for any of your losses or damages.
To the maximum extent allowed by the law, you agree to protect, defend, and compensate Company Parties against any and all legal actions, lawsuits, claims, damages, requests, and expenses (including legal fees) that a Company Party may face due to:
The Company reserves the right to take full control over the defense, at your cost, of any claim that falls under this Section 15. This indemnification is in addition to, and not instead of, any other indemnities specified in a written agreement between you and the Company.
Please carefully review this ARBITRATION AGREEMENT because it mandates that all disputes with us must be resolved through arbitration and places limitations on how you can seek remedies.
All costs associated with filing, administration, and the arbitrator's fees will adhere to JAMS Rules. A court of competent jurisdiction can enter judgment based on the arbitrator's decision.
The Terms, along with the Privacy Policy, represent the complete agreement governing your relationship with us regarding the Services. They override any prior or concurrent written or verbal agreements, communications, or understandings related to the subject matter in the Terms.
The Terms do not modify any existing agreement you have with a Custodian. If any conflict arises between the Terms and an agreement with a Custodian, the terms of the other agreement will prevail only if it explicitly states that it supersedes the Terms.
The Privacy Policy outlines how we gather, utilize, retain, and reveal your personal information. By using our services, you consent to the collection, utilization, retention, and disclosure of your data as per the Privacy Policy.
If you are a California resident and wish to report complaints or seek information regarding your Account with us or our Services, you have the option to do so in the following ways:
For any other inquiries or complaints, you can contact us via email at help@getbold.io.
