At Status, we strive to develop open source software that can serve as a secure communication tool that helps to uphold human rights. Status Software is specifically designed to facilitate the free flow of information, protect the right to private, secure communications and promote the sovereignty of individuals.
|
||||
|
||||
Status Software is composed of a secure messaging tool, a crypto wallet, and a Web 3 browser integrated together. The software developed by Status in this regard is simply called “Status Software” and you can find more details about its development on Status’ GitHub page.

|
||||
Status Software is open source client software that is designed to be user-friendly and can be installed or run in a web browser on your local desktop or mobile device. You can use Status Software to interact with and participate in Web 3 protocols, applications and peer to peer networks (referred to in these terms collectively, as “Web 3”). Please note that Status Software is not a blockchain protocol, or a blockchain network, a platform or a web-based platform.
|
||||
|
||||
Status develops Status Software and makes it available for you to run in a web browser or for your local use on your desktop or mobile device. This means that you are solely responsible for your activity and any potential risk or loss you may incur through using the Status Software as further detailed below in these terms.

|
||||
#### 2.1.1 Wallet
|
||||
|
||||
Status Software includes a crypto wallet. We will refer to such wallet functionality in these terms as “Wallet”.
|
||||
|
||||
The Wallet is your own personal crypto wallet. This type of wallet is sometimes also called “non-custodial”, “self-custodial” or “self-hosted”, which means you are in complete control of the crypto tokens (the “Digital Assets”) in the Wallet. Status will never have access to or control over your seed phrase, private keys or Digital Assets in your Wallet given its design.

Status will never have access to or control over your seed phrase, private keys or Digital Assets in your Wallet given its design.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Wallet, you are able to send, receive and store Digital Assets and connect to and interact with third-party services that enable the exchange of Digital Assets for fiat currency and Web 3, including certain blockchain bridges and decentralised exchanges.

Using the Wallet, you are able to send, receive and store Digital Assets and connect to and interact with third-party services that enable the exchange of Digital Assets for fiat currency and Web 3, including certain blockchain bridges and decentralised exchanges.
|
||||
The Wallet contains the latest security standards, anti-phishing mechanisms and locally generated and stored public and private keys to ensure that your Digital Assets are secured to the highest standards.

The Wallet contains the latest security standards, anti-phishing mechanisms and locally generated and stored public and private keys to ensure that your Digital Assets are secured to the highest standards.
|
||||
When generating an account, a randomisation process is started on your own device that generates a key pair. Status does not have visibility of or access to your private keys. You are solely responsible for storing and securing your seed phrase and private keys, and creating, storing and securing their backups. If you fail to maintain the appropriate security measures of your private keys, it may result in you losing access to your Wallet and control of any Digital Assets in your Wallet. If you lose or forget your seed phrase or private keys, Status will not be able to help you recover or replace them and further, Status will not be able to assist you with the recovery of your Digital Assets.

#### 2.1.2 Messaging
|
||||
|
||||
Status Software includes messaging functionality that enables secure communication between users. We will refer to the messaging functionality of Status Software and the Status Community Spaces collectively in these terms, as “Messaging”.
|
||||
Status Software includes messaging functionality that enables secure communication between users. We will refer to the messaging functionality of Status Software and the Community Spaces collectively in these terms, as “Messaging”.
|
||||
|
||||
Messaging uses an open source, peer-to-peer protocol with end-to-end encryption and metadata suppression to protect your messages from third parties (including Status). End-to-end encryption means that only the sender and recipient of a message can read its contents, and no one else. Peer-to-peer communication is accomplished using the Waku peer-to-peer messaging protocol, which relies on a distributed network of nodes instead of a centralised server. This means that there is no central party or server from which messages can be intercepted, modified or blocked. Learn more about Waku and how it works on Waku’s relevant website.

|
||||
|
||||
Within Messaging, you will also be able to participate in Status Community Spaces. This feature allows users to create their own token-gated communities where you can create group chats and engage with your communities, while leveraging the possibilities, functionality and benefits of blockchain technology. You will also be able to create (and join) open and public communities on Status Software that are accessible to other users. We note that content in these open and public communities will be accessible to all other users of Status Software. Nonetheless, all content will still be protected by the same end-to-end encryption utilised in Status Software.

#### 2.1.2 Web 3 browser
|
||||
|
||||
Status Software also includes a Web 3 browser through which you may access and interact with Web 3, exchanges, marketplaces, games and more. We will refer to the Web 3 browser in these terms as the “Web 3 Browser”.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
Status uses an open source, peer-to-peer protocol with end-to-end encryption and metadata suppression, which by design, means that Status (and any third party) is unable to and does not collect, store, own, control or have any visibility or means of access to your identity, Wallet, browsing information, any user private keys, Digital Assets, messages, content, history of interactions, user accounts or any other user information.
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, Status does not (and cannot) monetise any users’ data or content, such as messages or browser information and Status does not have any interest in doing so.
|
||||
|
||||
Status however processes a limited amount of user data to ensure the technical operation of the Status Software, enhance its functionality, and improve the user experience. For more details on this limited process of user data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

### 4. Using third party services and interacting with Web 3
|
||||
|
||||
When using Status Software, you may access or use third party products, services or tools (“Third Party Services”) and interact with Web 3. Status Software is only one means of interacting with these Third Party Services and Web 3 and you can independently utilise other means and tools to do so as well.

Status Software is only one means of interacting with these Third Party Services and Web 3 and you can independently utilise other means and tools to do so as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Your interactions with Web 3 could include many aspects, such as interacting with smart contracts that reside on blockchain networks, for example to swap Digital Assets or use (crypto) bridges, or deploying your own smart contracts through Status Community Spaces. You may also interact with and participate in peer-to-peer networks which could vary in their level of decentralisation, ranging from more centralised networks controlled by a single party to networks governed by decentralised communities.

|
||||
|
||||
When you use Third Party Services or interact with Web 3, you acknowledge that Status does not control or operate any Third Party Service or Web 3. These products, services, or tools are either controlled, operated, owned, or licensed by the third party providing them, or they may operate autonomously, independently of Status or any other party.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that using Third Party Services or interacting with Web 3 might be subject to specific terms and conditions, including privacy policies, set by the third-party providers. These providers might exclude and disclaim all liability regarding their Third Party Services and are not responsible or liable for your use of Status Software. It is crucial that you read and understand the applicable terms and conditions, including privacy policies, of these Third Party Services to be aware of the implications of their use. In case of interactions with Web 3, such as decentralised exchanges, there might be in some cases no applicable terms and conditions, and the relevant software code will govern your interactions.
|
||||
|
||||
Please also note that bridges are used to move tokens from one blockchain network to another. When you use a bridge, for example in the course of sending or bridging tokens, Status utilises an algorithm that aims to determine the lowest service fee which the user may incur at the time of a bridge’s use. This algorithm relies on information extracted directly from the relevant blockchain networks. Status is not responsible for the accuracy and correctness of any information that these algorithms may extract from such networks

You are solely responsible for your use of Third Party Services and your interactions with Web 3. If you have any technical issues or other issues with any of these Third Party Services or Web 3, you should contact the relevant third party or appropriate point of contact directly (if any).
|
||||
|
||||
In principle, Status does not provide any advice, recommendation, support or endorse Third Party Services you may use or any aspect of Web 3 that you may interact with through Status Software. Their integration or availability through Status Software does not imply any support or endorsement by Status. Status may also receive a fee from certain third parties who provide the Third Party Services.

||||
|
||||
At Status, we believe in the sovereignty of individuals and we stand for the cause of personal liberty.

You are solely responsible for any content that you create, post, distribute or submit, messages you exchange or any other activity you may engage in related to your content on or through Status Software and any harm or liability that may result from such content.
|
||||
|
||||
You represent and warrant in respect of such content that:
|
||||
1. your creation, posting, distribution or submission of content does not infringe on any intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any third party; and
|
||||
2. you are the creator and owner or that you have the necessary permissions to create, post, distribute or submit such content through Status Software.

|
||||
|
||||
You acknowledge that Status has no means of monitoring, moderating, removing, modifying or regulating users’ content or activity.

#### 7.2 Status Software’s privacy-first design
|
||||
|
||||
Messaging uses an open source, peer-to-peer protocol with end-to-end encryption and metadata suppression to protect your messages from third parties (including Status). As a result of this privacy-first design:
|
||||
|
||||
Status does not store nor have access to user data, messages, or content;
|
||||
Status cannot associate content or actions with individual users. However, users may choose to disclose certain limited information to Status voluntarily, such as when opting in to share usage analytics. This data, shared only through explicit consent of the user, is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy;
|
||||
Status cannot block or ban users from using Status Software features;
|
||||
Status has no means of monitoring, moderating, removing, modifying or regulating users’ content or activity, except in a Community Space created and directly managed by Status;
|
||||
Status is further unable to and is not responsible for verifying the accuracy or reliability of such content or activity. While you use Status Software, you may view content that:
|
||||
could be offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable;
|
||||
contains technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors; or
|
||||
could violate others’ rights, including but not limited to privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or other proprietary rights.

You acknowledge that there are inherent risks related to Web 3, arising from its novel and experimental nature. These risks include but are not limited to security risks (such as hacking and malware or other cyber-attacks, unauthorised access to your Wallet, attacks on blockchain networks, among others), technical risks (such as software errors, vulnerabilities or bugs) or operational risks related to Digital Assets, smart contracts, use of certain services, such as (crypto) bridges and swaps or other aspects and functionalities of Web 3.

|
||||
|

The technology underlying Web 3 is also novel and experimental, as for the most part, it is based on still unproven, emerging and complex technologies, such as blockchain networks, that are developed or operated by third parties and distributed across a series of unaffiliated nodes across the world. As such, these changes and development in this technology may adversely affect your use of Web 3 and even Status Software. It is your sole responsibility to monitor such changes and the potential impact on your use of Web 3 and Status Software.

|

|

Given the novel and experimental nature of Web 3, the laws, rules and regulations, or their interpretation, may change and develop in a manner which could adversely affect your ability to interact with any aspect of Web 3, including deploying smart contracts, as well as creating, using, distributing or purchasing Digital Assets. These rules and regulations vary significantly in maturity across jurisdictions, but are for the most part, still in the early stages of development and may rapidly evolve and as such, their potential impact is subject to significant uncertainty. This could result in adverse consequences to you that may include criminal or civil penalties, including fines. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that you comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to, cryptocurrencies, financial markets, securities and anti-money laundering.

#### 11.3 Unpredictable and volatile nature of Digital Assets

|

With Status Software, you can interact with and transact in Digital Assets and their markets. You acknowledge that these markets and Digital Assets are often highly unpredictable and volatile due to multiple factors, such as supply and demand, changes in technology, the regulatory environment, political, natural and economic events in a jurisdiction, and price speculation. In addition, the underlying factors that determine the price of a Digital Asset are often opaque and could be subject to speculation and market manipulation. This means that the value of Digital Assets can be lost in part or in full and you should not interact with Digital Assets unless you have the necessary advice, knowledge, expertise or risk appetite.
