Terms

Terms of Use

The plain-language terms for a wallet where you hold the keys.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By downloading, installing, or using Aperture, you agree to these Terms of Use and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

2. What Aperture is and is not

Aperture is a non-custodial software wallet: a tool that generates cryptographic keys on your device and lets you interact with public blockchain networks.

Aperture is not a bank, exchange, broker, custodian, payment processor, or money transmitter. We never hold, transmit, or have access to your funds or keys.

3. Eligibility

You must have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction to use Aperture. You may use the app only where doing so is lawful, and you are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you.

4. Open source and license

Aperture's complete source code is public at github.com/devdasx/aperture under the open-source license published in the repository. The published license governs your rights in the code; these Terms govern your use of the distributed app.

5. Self-custody: your keys, your responsibility

Your recovery phrase and private keys are generated on your device and are shown to no one, including us. You are solely responsible for keeping your recovery phrase, keys, PIN, backup password, and device secure.

If you lose your phrase and any encrypted backup password, your funds may be permanently unrecoverable.

6. No recovery, no reversal

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Once broadcast, a transaction cannot be cancelled, refunded, or clawed back by Aperture or anyone else.

7. Networks and fees

Transaction fees are paid to blockchain networks, miners, or validators, not to Aperture. Aperture adds no fee of its own. Network congestion, fee spikes, delays, reorganizations, and forks are outside our control.

8. Third-party infrastructure

The app communicates directly with third-party services to read balances, fetch history, and broadcast transactions. These services are operated by others under their own terms; their availability and accuracy are not guaranteed.

9. Information, not advice

Prices, charts, and portfolio values shown in the app are informational and may be delayed or inaccurate. They are not investment, financial, legal, or tax advice.

10. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Aperture to violate any law, interfere with networks or services, probe or disrupt infrastructure, or misrepresent a modified version of the app as Aperture.

11. Assumption of risk

Cryptocurrency is volatile and can lose all value. Blockchain protocols, tokens, smart contracts, devices, and software can fail. By using Aperture, you understand and accept these risks.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The app is provided as is and as available, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. You use Aperture at your own risk.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aperture's contributors and maintainers shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including loss of funds, profits, or data.

14. App Store

The app is distributed through Apple's App Store, and your use must also comply with Apple's Media Services Terms. Apple is not responsible for providing support for the app.

15. Changes to these terms

If these Terms change, the new version will be published on this page. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the published open-source license, are the entire agreement between you and Aperture regarding the app.

17. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be raised publicly by opening an issue at github.com/devdasx/aperture, or by contacting support through aperturex.io/support.
